A NEW WEBSITE IS COMING
We’ve started the process to explore a new design for our website, stdave.org. Many sites go through this type of process every 3-5 years. One of the silver linings of the pandemic is growing our online worship and formation offerings. With the new site, we’ll see how best to connect others to God and St. David’s.
