Lord of heaven's reach,
of earth reborn;
you call us from starless graves.
to sing under infinite skies:
we praise your name.
for those who have walked this way
unheralded and unnumbered.
but known to you,
their beginning, their end,
their joy in life;
give us the same grace
to be unbound
and take the step of faith; through
Jesus Christ, the alpha
and omega. Amen.

Volunteers Needed for St. David's Youth Ministries |
|
As someone who has worked closely with our St. David youth over many years, I’ll be the first to say that we have the most amazing young people in our midst. Some of my deepest and most spiritually enriching relationships at church were born during my time in youth ministry. Please consider this opportunity… not only for what it will do to support our youth, but for what it might mean for your own faith journey. Prepare to be challenged, surprised, encouraged and most importantly… to plant the seeds for life long friendships.
We are looking to build a team of youth volunteers to support our new youth minister, Anna, and our High School and Middle School youth groups. Whether you are available once a month or weekly, we need you! Our High School group meets on Sunday evenings (6:00-8:00) and our Middle School group on Wednesday evenings (6:45-8:15). Please email Anna with questions or interest/availability at [email protected].
Thank you for loving our children so well!

ICA’s impact over the summer
During the summer months of June through August, ICA staff and volunteers kept busy working to help meet needs of folks in our community. They worked with 992 households, 2598 clients and distributed 231,416 pounds of food. Ongoing support from the community financially (icafoodshelf.org/donate) and through food/personal care/home cleaning product donations help to make that possible. Thank you for your ongoing support.
A note from a grateful client
“You guys went above and beyond with helping me and my children. Life is already tough and then throw in a pandemic. I sincerely appreciate the staff and this program for being there, helping us through these times and setting me up for success.”

In this time of the coronavirus pandemic, the need to reach our most vulnerable parishioners has been great. Our 11 person Pastoral Care Team has stepped up to the plate and has been regularly calling around 24 St. David's members and families to share in remote fellowship, prayer, and conversation to determine if we, as a community, could help address any of their unmet needs. We are pleased to report that virtually all of these parishioners are doing well so far and have their basic needs met by their facilities and/or family. They are in good spirits and continue to remain resilient in the face of isolation and uncertainty.
If you find yourself in need of food or other resources, please contact:
or:
and we will assist you in finding solutions.

Pastoral Care Line: 952-767-0891 |

We will include all individuals in the prayers list for four consecutive weeks, and then they will be removed from the list. If the prayer need is ongoing, please reach out and we will keep their names on the list. If anyone's prayer need is shorter than four weeks, please also note that. This way we will keep all prayer lists updated and recent.
