Visitors are
welcome !
Visitors are warmly welcomed to attend our Sunday worship
services. There are two Sunday morning services offered; an
8:00 AM quiet morning prayer service with Eucharist and a 10:15
AM Eucharist Service with choir. Church School and child
care are offered at the later service, followed by a coffee
hour fellowship. You are invited to complete the welcome
pamphlet in the pew rack and place it in the offering plate
and sign our Guest Book.
Receiving
Communion
All are welcome to receive Holy Communion. St. David’s
practices the theology of the “open Table” since it is our
Lord who invites us to meet him here. There are no
outcasts. Our practice is to stand or kneel at the altar
rail as able. We cross our palms to receive the bread and
then to sip from or dip the bread into the common chalice
offered by the Eucharistic Minister. A small intinction cup
is offered by the Acolyte only for dipping the bread if you
do not prefer the common chalice. Know that all are
welcome, children included. If you wish to only receive a
blessing, simply cross your arms over your chest. If you
are unable to come forward, the Communion will be brought to
you.
Bible Study
and Healing

Holy Eucharist with Healing Service is offered every
Wednesday, at 11:30 AM followed by a simple lunch and Bible
Study
Noonday

Noonday

and your life! The Meditation Group meets on Mondays

Worship Team Ministry
Worship services are conducted by Worship
Teams.
Each worship team consists of a team leader
and parishioners who serve as readers, chalice bearers,
acolytes, crucifers, greeters, presenters, hospitality
ministers, good shepherds, and altar guild. Each worship
team also has a member who serves as a pastoral care leader
whose ministry is to help the team provide pastoral care for
team members. Team pastoral care includes making visits
and/or providing transportation for appointments and food
for homebound or in emergencies.
There are currently four teams (Red, White,
Green and Gold – the colors of the Welsh flag since St.
David is the patron saint of Wales). Each team serves every
four weeks.
Current team leaders are Pat Crane (white
team), Stacey Ferraro (gold team), Kathy Kent (green team)
and John Simonelli (red team) who are responsible for
scheduling the various ministries required for worship
services, so that no one person is scheduled for multiple
ministries on a given Sunday. Training and refresher
sessions for various ministries are held periodically.
The goals of the worship teams are to enable
fuller participation by all members of the congregation in
the ministries of the parish, to provide a small group
ministry that fosters closer relationships through team work
and to incorporate new members into the life of the parish.
All parishioners are encouraged to be on a
team.
