A NOTE ABOUT TABLE MANNERS: Please know that all are welcome to receive Holy Communion including children. Follow the greeter’s directions to come forward to accept Holy Communion. You may receive bread and wine, one or the other, or a simple blessing. The silver chalices have wine and the ceramic chalice has grape juice. If you drink from the chalice, please help the chalice bearer by taking hold of the bottom of the chalice and guiding the cup to your lips. However you receive, the words for both the bread and the wine will be spoken over you.
Dear People of St. David’s
I would like to thank you all for the amazing number of grocery cards which you kindly donated to our Outreach clients last week. We currently support nine clients, almost all with families. Most of them receive grocery cards on a fortnightly basis, although three clients collect at the beginning of each month. Last year, due to your kindness, they all received extra cards at Thanksgiving and Christmas to make these holiday times special.
Gill Otto, Parish Administrator
