We celebrate Trinity Sunday this Sunday, a major feast day for our church that always falls on the first Sunday after Pentecost. You may find it surprising that we have very little doctrine in the Episcopal Church but our understanding of the one and holy undivided Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is the very foundation of our Anglican theology. The Holy Trinity is woven throughout our ancient liturgies. It fills our ears as we sing our favorite hymns and it fills our heart when we offer our heartfelt prayers. And, yet, we find ourselves struggling with the trinitarian concept. Often it is most helpful to actually experience something before we can truly grasp its meaning. The same goes for the Holy Trinity. Every time we pray, meditate or simply have a moment of quiet reflection it is an opportunity to open our hearts and minds to the Spirit, becoming aware of the Divine Love that dwells within each one of us, empowering us to follow wherever God leads us. This is what it means to be a disciple, and it begins with saying yes to the Holy Spirit.

Graduation Sunday & Community Picnic: June 4^th 

High School, College, Trade and Graduate School graduates are invited to a celebration service on June 4th at 10am. Join us after the service for a pot luck community picnic (with an ice cream truck!) to celebrate the graduates and kick off summer! We ask that you bring a dish to share and lawn or sports chairs for seating.

Discussion & Donuts will not Meet this Sunday

We will not meet for Discussion & Donuts this week because of the Community Picnic immediately after the service.

Celebrate Loudoun Pride after the Community Picnic on June 4th

We are excited that this will be the first time St. David's has had a presence at a Pride event. It's a great opportunity to connect with the community, welcome people to St. David's (it's only a 14 min drive from the Church) and celebrate the diversity of our St. David's family.

Come by after the Graduation Sunday Picnic! All are welcome!

Discernment Committee Survey Reminder

The Discernment Committee is delighted with the response so far from those who have completed the parish survey. You have provided the background to the story of St David’s to be shared with candidates for Rector.

If you have not filled out the survey, or you have started but not completed it, there is still time left and we encourage you to do so as soon as possible. It is difficult to over-emphasize how important this exercise is because we want to go forward confident that we have captured from the congregation those aspects we hope to see in our next rector. It will be a major component in the parish profile to be shared nationwide with all Episcopal churches. Potential candidates will review and form an opinion about St David’s that will influence their decision to apply or not.

Please set aside 30 minutes to express your preferences so we can include your thoughts in this process and move ahead with the search for our next spiritual leader.

Thank you for your support and your commitment to St David’s.
