Sharing Our Joy & Celebrations

As a community of faith we want to share the joys, celebrations, births, and accomplishments of everyone who worships at St. David's. We want to rejoice with you in these times of blessing. Our primary means of announcing these events is in the weekly bulletin and in the monthly newsletter (The Messenger).

Therefore:

We ask that when possible a family member contact the Church Secretary directly either by phone (479-4110), or email (). This is the best insurance that we do not violate your privacy and that nothing falls through the cracks or is overlooked. It also gives you a chance to give all the details and make sure that we don’t overlook the important details!
