Happenings @ St. David's
Greetings!

Our scripture readings this past Sunday were all about how - and where, when and why - God calls us to follow him. Isaiah's call was dramatic and his answer a profound yes! Paul needed to be blinded to see the light. And Peter had a crash course in fishing before following Jesus to cast a net for people.  

Jesus is still calling us to follow him. Congratulations to our new vestry and to Buz Price, our new Sr. Warden, and David Sheatsley, our new Jr. Warden. They have chosen to step up and say yes to God's call. This promises to be an exciting year for St. David's.

Fr. Will challenged us on Sunday to take 15 minutes to listen for God's voice in our lives. May each of us have ears to hear, and courage to follow where he leads.   

Blessings,
Rev. Mary Kay
