Designed for children, St. David's Communion Class teaches the sacrament and the importance of the Holy Eucharist. Holy Communion Holy Communion Class Next Class: TBD 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Downstairs in Jeffords Hall In the Episcopal tradition, all baptized persons are invited to receive communion, including children. Parents in conversation with their child determine the best time for their child to receive. Many children receive the bread as soon as they are old enough to hold it. However, some families choose to have their children wait to receive communion until the child is a bit older. St. David’s Holy Communion class is an engaging and interactive class, designed for children Kindergarten-5th grade to learn about the sacraments of Holy Baptism and the Holy Eucharist. The focus of each class is belonging. Belonging to Christ, belonging to our families, and belonging to our church family through the gift of water and God’s Holy Spirit at Baptism, and in communion, the coming together, for the shared meal of bread and wine. During the class, the children and leaders explore St. David’s campus, learning about our church home as we seek God in the Holy spaces that abound here. The children learn about Jesus’ baptism, share photos of their own baptism, and receive instruction on how to receive the communion bread and wine as they learn about the traditions of our Episcopal worship. The class meets on three designated Sundays from 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. downstairs in Jeffords Fellowship Hall in the Grace classroom. For more information or to register your child, please contact the Director of Children’s Ministry, Judy Hine.

Shepherd Ministry The Shepherd Ministry is a bridge between parishioners and pastoral care ministries at St. David’s. Every parishioner at St. David’s has a shepherd whose role is to link those facing challenges and changes with a selection of pastoral care ministries. Shepherds have extensive training in pastoral care and observe absolute confidentiality. The bridge the shepherds provide will help the parish meet the needs of everyone. As is stated in the Shepherd Ministry title, “no one walks alone.” Parishioners will have a special church “friend” to walk beside them in their life at St. David’s. Agape Meal Ministry This Pastoral Care Team prepares and delivers food to those in the Parish who are experiencing an illness, a loss, or after a baby has been born. The meal team member prepares a meal. Most often they cook the meal but other times, some do a grocery store grab-n-go. They pick up a prepared, hot, fresh meal like a rotisserie chicken or fried chicken or a sub or soup and usually some sides like a bag of salad or a Bob Evans mashed potatoes or mac & cheese. All the food is ready to go and is either warm or can be reheated in a microwave or oven. On a rare occasion a meal team member will do a restaurant run where they pick up a fresh hot meal to deliver to the parishioner. All meals (unless requested otherwise) are ready to eat right away or can be heated up a few hours later. They never send any type of restaurant gift card or Uber Eats or DoorDash gift card. They bring the meal to the parishioner's home as a touch of St. David's love. Eucharistic Visitation This ministry is led by lay people who deliver Eucharist to those who are not able to come to Church. It is a ministry of caring and compassion. Our Eucharistic Visitors are not counselors or spiritual advisors. They are a caring, baptized Christians extending the parish Eucharistic community to include everyone possible. Our Visitors will call the receivers and coordinate bringing Communion from our altar. A mutually agreeable time for the visit will be established. Flower Ambassadors This ministry delivers the altar flowers to homes of fellow parishioners to show our care and concern. No flower arranging is required, just a desire to brighten someone's day! We are in need of medium-sized vases. Please bring donations to the sacristy or the welcome desk, marked for the Flower Ambassadors. Thanks!

"The Way Forward" describes the planning initiatives for St. David's. Delivering the love of Christ through the strengths of our parish defines our goal. The Way Forward Since August of 2021, St. David’s has been engaged in a discernment process which combines elements of traditional strategic planning with elements of group discernment and church leadership. Click here to read more about this journey as we name our need for discernment, discover all the possibilities, and engage our parish family as we discover God's dream for St. David's. This is an exciting time for St. David's! We ask that you keep St. David's and the Strategic Planning team in your prayers! The Way Forward Update: Draft Core Value Statements As a part of our strategic discernment process, The Way Forward, we have developed the following language to define our core values. These statements will provide important guidance to what activity we pursue as we dream alongside God about our future. The language presented is representative of responses to a values survey sent to members of our governance committees (Finance, HR, etc.), each senior warden from the last 40 years, and our four strategic discernment teams, consisting of ministry leaders, vestry members, and staff members. There’s a place at the table for everyone. At the Altar, at the conference table, sharing meals, in the classroom – everyone has a place at the table at St. David’s. We desire your participation, and we invite you to bring your whole self to the table. We’ll make sure there’s room for you there. Relationships come first. We believe reconciliation was the primary goal of Jesus’ work. In everything we do, our relationships come first. We want to ensure more person-to-person, heart-level connections through the ways we pursue our mission. Unity over uniformity. Everyone’s different; we honor that. We don’t seek to be a group of people who think alike about everything; we desire to be people who share a common heart, a common purpose, and a fellowship of love. Being together in community is more important than political affiliation, tribal identity, or which sports team you cheer for. Tradition not traditionalism. We draw nourishment and stability from our deep roots in ancient traditions, without sacrificing flexibility. We aren’t a museum for church traditions but participants in a living faith, anchored by practices that have been honored since the time of Jesus' first followers. While still in draft form, we welcome your feedback. Please reach out to Remington with any questions or comments.

Stained Glass Windows Part 4 - The Six Mercies “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me,” and, “Whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.” - Jesus Location - Left side, along the wall of the nave. Feed the Hungry Give Drink to the Thirsty Shelter the Stranger Clothe the Naked Visit the Sick Ransom the Captive The six rectangular stained glass windows that flank the left side of the nave depict the Gospel lesson: Matthew 25:31 -46. They show what are called “The Six Mercies.” These are only a representative sampling of the types of things Jesus calls us to do as subjects of our Heavenly King. The inscription in each window describes the tasks spelled out in the Gospel lesson: “Feed the Hungry,” “Give Drink to the Thirsty,” “Shelter the Stranger,” “Clothe the Naked,” “Visit the Sick,” and “Ransom the Captive.” The six windows are plain and straightforward in their depiction of the Six Mercies. Only in the lastwindow is there a bit of symbolism. It’s the large anchor being held by the man who is visiting the prisoner in chains. The anchor is a very ancient Christian symbol of hope. An anchor holds a ship safely in place against tides and winds, and so it is also with the hope of Christ’s Resurrection. Writing to the Hebrews of the certainty of God’s promise, St. Paul says, “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” (Hebrews 6:13-20) Back To Part 3 - "The Life of Jesus" Proceed to Part 5 - "The Saints"

You can provide a gift of life insurance to St. David's. Here are several ways to do this. Gift of Stock You may want to consider donating stock to fulfill your pledge. Gifts of stock can provide donors with a double tax benefit. First, you are able to claim a charitable donation on the current amount of the donated stock, not just the amount you originally paid for it. Second, you do not pay taxes on the appreciated value of the stock. If you're interested in giving this way, please contact Claudia Bernal in our Finance Office at finance@stdavidchurch.org for specific instructions. Please Note: We use separate account numbers for General Pledge donations and Capital Campaign donations, so be sure to let us know which one you're supporting. Prospective donors are strongly urged to consult with their own legal, financial, and/or tax advisor regarding the tax advantages of planned giving.

Including St. David's in your will is a thoughtful way to help the parish in your absence. Remember St. David's in your Will A bequest in a will can take the form of a set amount of money, a percentage of an estate, a specific asset, a trust, or the name of the church as a contingent beneficiary. Simple language for including the church in your will might be: “I give, devise, and bequeath (state amount, asset, or percentage of the estate) to St. David’s Episcopal Church, 1015 Old Roswell Road, Roswell, GA 30075 to be used (describe use) or as the St. David’s Vestry deems appropriate.” If you already have a will, a simple codicil can be executed as an appendage.
