8:00 and 9:30 service of Holy Eucharist
We invite you to join us for a special Sunday of worship and celebration! This Sunday, we will be honoring and thanking our lay ministry leaders for their faithful work and dedication to our community. We will also be celebrating all graduates and sending them off with blessings for their next chapter in life. We will also be offering prayers for people with birthdays and anniversaries in the month of June. In addition, we will be blessing prayer shawls made by our talented and caring members, which will be given to those in need of comfort and support. There will be Godly Play during the 9:30 service. This will be the last one until we resume in the Fall! Finally, don't forget your financial gifts and nonperishable food donations for the ICA ingathering.
Come and be a part of this joyous occasion as we give thanks for all the blessings in our lives and lift our voices in worship. We look forward to being together!
We continue to Facebook Livestream the Sunday 9:30 service and upload to YouTube
10:45-11:30 Community Forum
Join us after the 9:30 service and enjoy some coffee and cake!
We will have social time, as well as taking time to especially thank our lay ministry leaders for their dedication and service to St. David's. Without their hard work and commitment, we would not be who we are as a community of faith.
Loving God. Loving One Another.

We celebrated high school graduates on Youth Led Sunday, and now we want to honor and celebrate other graduates! Are you or someone you love graduating from college or a graduate program? Please let us know who our graduates are by emailing Katherine at klewis@stdavidsparish.org. We hope these graduates will be able to be with us in worship at 9:30 on June 4, but even if they are not able to be there, we'll offer our prayers and recognition. | |

So Just What is God Really Up To?
Quite a good question! Let’s find out some answers, together, with a little experiment, shall we?
If you like to:
-be friendly
-listen to others
-sit about in the outdoors on a summer day
-enjoy a refreshing cool glass of lemonade
If even just one of these statements fits your bill, then we have quite the opportunity for you.To do what you may ask? To practice some St. David’s radical hospitality getting to know our neighbors better. Just by listening to others and noticing, amidst our welcoming manner, we hope to hear where God is, and isn’t, right here in our neighborhood, beyond our church walls.
The plan is to set up a simple table and chairs along Minnetonka Blvd. where our church property abuts up to the walking/biking trail. Here we will have extra chairs and cool drink, offering respite and refreshment to folks passing by, furry friends too, complete with a dog water bowl and treats! Here we will just listen, and notice, and converse. No proselytizing, no sell job, no coercion of any sort. Just an opportunity to share what Christ asks of all of us, to love one another.
We hope you will participate in this little hospitality experiment in our neighborhood, with the opportunity to be transformed.
Please look for the sign-up sheets in the undercroft/narthex, 2 people per 1 hour shifts, Sunday June 18th, 11am thru 2pm, and Wednesday June 28th, 4pm thru 7pm. Grab a buddy and sign up! Added incentive, we even promise to include some ice breaker lines/scripts/activities just in case the cat’s got your tongue.

ICA Sunday this Sunday!
Have you seen the Jazz It Up! Posters at the church building entrances? As you may recall, we will be having a different theme each month for ICA donations. We will be posting the theme of the month by the collection baskets a couple weeks before the actual ICA Sunday.
The Jazz It Up theme seems appropriate as we are heading into summer. Although the items listed can be used at any time, several of the things listed can be used for salads, picnic meals and barbecuing. What ICA needs this month includes:
- BBQ sauce
- Marinades
- Spices
- Vegetable oil
- Olive oil
- Vinegar
- Anything else that fits with this theme
Anything you wish to donate is most appreciated. If you prefer, a cash donation is always welcome. ICA’s access to discount products and programs stretches your cash donation.
You can either drop a check made out to ICA in the Sunday collection plate or donate online using the QR code on the ICA posters at the church entrances or at www.icafoodshelf.org and click on the donate section. Thank you so much for your ongoing support of ICA.
