Ways to Serve St. David's

St. David's offers many opportunities for members to get involved in the life of the church to build relationships with one another and grow deeply into their spirituality.  Below is a list St. David's current opportunities to engage in ministry. 

Some ministries are suitable for individuals, some for teams, and some might even work for a whole family. Get together and make it fun! We hope you will find something that makes your heart sing.


Sinclair House Clean Up
Saturday, October 22
10.00 a.m.

​Join the St. David's Vestry for fellowship, fun and...  yes, some cleaning too! Saturday, October 22, the Vestry will host an indoor-outdoor clean-up of the Sinclair House! We have recently completed an outdoor renovation of the Sinclair House with new siding, gutters, and paint so now it's time for the finishing touches. 

Bring your yard tools! Bring your gloves!
Bring your hammers and screwdrivers! Bring your family and friends!

If you can volunteer a pickup truck, please contact Tom Erdmanczyk.
We will gather at 10:00 a.m. at the house, complete our various tasks, and regather for lunch at 1 PM. This is an opportunity to spend some time with fellow Saint David’s members, and to get a good look at the improved Sinclair House!

Ushers

 If you're looking for a great way to get involved in our services please consider becoming an usher. You'll serve at only one service a month, so the commitment is minimal. This is a ministry of hospitality, as your main role is to make your fellow parishioners comfortable. No previous experience needed. Please contact Thomas Nolfa, Head Usher, email,  to be added to the existing teams. Thank you in advance for making St. David's that special place!

Digital Ministries

Do you like taking pictures? Are you interested in learning more about videography and Livestreaming? If so, we are looking for a team of people to help join this Ministry to help with St. David's Social Media, Website, Livestreaming, and digital media presence.  Please contact Rebecca Cline, Parish Administrator, to learn more.

Welcome Committee

Studies have shown first-time visitors to church make up their minds whether they’re coming back in the first 10-15 minutes of their visit. The Welcome Ministry reflects the heart of our St. David’s community by making all who enter our doors feel wanted and cared for. The time commitment is small…the rewards are great. We would love for you to join this ministry. Questions? Please contact Nicole Highsmith or Robert Malpeli.

59 and Holding

59 and Holding is a ministry that offers a luncheon and short program once a month to our St. David’s seniors and their guests.  We’re down to two committee members, and in order to continue we need a team lead and more committee members.  If you’re ready to be on board or have any questions, please reach out to Jere Stokely. 

Flower Ambassadors

Flower Ambassadors is a Pastoral Care Ministry that requires a minimum of your time, yet brings a great deal of comfort to the parishioners you deliver flowers to.

We work in teams once a month to deliver bouquets to shut ins, the ill, or the grieving. No flower arranging is required, just a desire to brighten someone's day. Please contact Lesley Andrew for more information or if you have questons.

Nursery

St. David's Nursery has a wonderful tradition of welcome and care for our parish little ones!  We are currently have opportunities for adults and High School Youth to serve weekly in the nursery once or twice a month?  
Please consider serving during the 9:00 a.m. service, during Sunday school , or during the 11:15 service. Please contact Judy Hine, Director of Children's Ministry, for dates and details!

Building and Grounds

As you all may know, there is always something to be done in your home so you can imagine the list for all that is needed to keep our Church in shape.  Please consider volunteering for any of the projects below.  Families are invited to take on take on a project together, and groups of individuals can get together and make it fun!  You can volunteer to complete a project once or on a regular basis.  As you can see, the list has shortened since our last publication – thank you to those who volunteered for our work days!
​
  • Clean windows! We have many windows.  The windows most visible are those surrounding the courtyard.  You don’t have to clean all of them, you could volunteer for several sections.
  • We have 5 indoors plants that need care – clean leaves, add potting soil, plant food.
  • Wash the acolyte robes for our beloved acolytes – use our washer, just need TLC.

  • Pick up pine cones and branches that have fallen in the Memorial Garden.
