*Enriching Our Worship

Dr. David Stevens, St. David’s director of music for 32 years, has composed the music that will be sung at the 9 and 11:15 a.m. Sunday Eucharists from this Sunday, June 26 until Sunday, Aug. 7. Learn more about this composition in a letter from Dr. Stevens to the congregation.

This Sunday, June 26, is Commitment Sunday for our Capital Campaign Continuation. We invite everyone to prayerfully consider their participation in the renovation of our Historic church. During worship, we will bring our commitment cards forward to ushers at the offertory. By all of us bringing our giving cards up together, we are showing our commitment to God, St. David’s, and each other. Giving cards are available for you to fill out in the worship spaces. If you have already made a commitment, please write “made commitment” on your card.

Thank you for your generosity to God and our beautiful parish!

If you have questions, please contact Director of Stewardship and Planned Giving, Eric Malnassy.
