Muffin Sunday, coffee hour, and hospitality Coffee hour -- Every Sunday, immediately after the 9:00 AM Sunday service, coffee, tea, and assorted refreshments are served in the parish hall (below the church). During the summer, we have lighter refreshments -- cookies, coffee and lemonade. Muffin Sunday -- On the first Sunday of each month, coffee hour is enhanced by the addition of muffins! Hospitality -- After the 11:00 services on Sundays, there is a time for hospitality & refreshments, similar to coffee hour. These are great times to take a few minutes and get to know someone new! Volunteers to host coffee hour, Muffin Sunday, and the hospitality time are always welcome -- see the sign-up sheets at the Communication Center, in the hallway between the church and the office.
Come to dinner! by Judith Scarborough You are invited to join a small group of people for an evening of food and conversation. New groups are now forming to start meeting in October, December, and March. However, you may register at any time, and we will do our best to fit you into an existing group. Come To Dinner! groups will meet once a month for three months. You and your dinner partners will determine when to meet and who will host each month. The whole purpose is to get to know others in church and share life. Come, join in, for a wonderful time of fellowship and food! Sign up at the communications center.
Nature outings Parishioner Pete Wyman organizes and leads a variety of nature outings once a month suitable for families and people of all ages. Activities could range from a couple of hours after the Sunday 10:00 AM service to all-day Saturday outings. Pete wants to share the often little known natural and historical sites that are in close proximity of our community, to enjoy family fellowship, and to give people a chance to know one another better. Walking would be for all ages with occasional, optional longer walks. Each family would bring a lunch and may bring friends. Past outings have taken us to Waikiki Springs and to Manito Park. Details about the next nature outing(s) will be posted here as they are scheduled. If you are interested, please sign up at the Communications Center or give Pete a call for more Information.
Lenten soup suppers On some Wednesday evenings during Lent (the several weeks between Ash Wednesday and Easter) St. David's offers soup suppers. The menu is simple -- just soup, salad and bread -- as a reminder of those who have less than we do. Before supper there is opportunity to attend Eucharist. After supper there is a program, with topics varying from year to year.
St. Martha's Guild St. Martha’s Guild was organized in 1998 to provide a variety of activities for the women of St. David’s. The group meets from noon to 2:00 PM on the 2nd Monday of each month from September through June. During July and August other activities are planned such as social gatherings at members' homes or at other sites in the community. Each year the group selects worthy recipients to benefit from their volunteer efforts and fund-raising events. Examples include:
In addition to working toward the benefit of others, St. Martha’s members enjoy fellowship, educational events such as tours, special events and trips to points of interest. We welcome all women of St. David’s!
Needlecrafters The Needlecrafters meet on the 1st Monday of each month in the parish hall at 10:00 AM to enjoy fellowship while working on various projects. Some make prayer shawls. Some make quilts to be given to newly baptized babies or to be raffled as fund-raisers. Others work on their own personal projects. Come, bring a lunch, and enjoy some friendship while you stitch! Spring 2012 News by Holly Chick, Coordinator Our March meeting was very productive as we took inventory and straightened up our shelves in the storage room. We have also decided to make some quilts (4' x 5') for the Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery, starting in May. We have some cotton fabrics that have already been donated for this project and if you have some that you would like to donate it would be greatly appreciated. We have enough yarn available for approximately 12 prayer shawls, already bagged up and with patterns that you may or may not use. If you would like to help make these prayer shawls, it would be greatly appreciated. Contact Holly Chick for more information. Due to conflicting schedules, we have canceled our April meeting. Our next meeting will be May 7 at 10:00 a.m. and all are welcomed. Any questions, please contact Needlecrafters coordinator, Holly Chick. 
Steak & Bake dinner This annual event raises money to fund Camp Cross scholarships for St. David's children, and for other worthy projects. The guys fire up the gas grill and crank out dozens of juicy steaks, while diners fill the parish hall and spill out onto the grassy lawn (weather permitting, of course). Headed by Ed McCoy, it's a fun evening for a good cause.
Library book clubs
