Christian Formation
Our faith journey is life-long and our relationship with God, ever evolving. Saint David's offers Christian formation opportunities for all ages on Sunday mornings and Bible Study each Wednesday.
SUNDAYS:
CHRISTIAN FORMATION
The Path
(formerly Adult Forum)
The Path meets each Sunday at 9:00 a.m. (fall to spring). During this class, we have an opportunity to have in depth conversations about the Bible to ask questions of each other and talk about how the Bible can guide us through our lives. This is for those who have never studied the Bible all the way to those who have studied the Bible extensively.
The Path Curriculum:
The Path: A Journey Through The Bible
Episcopal Youth Community
Grades 6 to 12
Youth in 6th through 12th grade are invited to explore scripture and its meaning in our lives more deeply during our Episcopal Youth Community (EYC) meetings at 9:00, from fall to spring. Through EYC, "the Episcopal Church strives to walk with young people on their journeys from childhood to adulthood, recognizing their gifts for ministry, their questions about spirituality, and their desire to make a difference in the world."
Beyond these meetings, "EYC" covers all the youth-oriented activities at St. David's, including youth group and special activities.
Children and Youth Formation
The children meet each Sunday at 9:00 a.m. (fall to spring).
We have multiple class options.
J.O.Y. Class (Jesus, Others, You) This is a toddler - early elementary aged class where we will sing, play, march, tell stories and have a snack with our youngest members. We ask that a parent or adult attend with any child that is not potty trained.
Tweens Class
This class will be jumping into learning more about the Bible, participating in fun activities, acting out skits, and discussing ways they can be examples of Christ in their communities. Generally, this is for older elementary - middle school kids with flexibility in either direction.

Book Club
Quarterly
With a rector who’s also a writer and a church full of book-lovers, we recognize that reading together helps us grow spiritually. We offer a quarterly nonfiction book club facilitated by the rector, and sometimes the books’ authors join part of our discussion via Zoom.

-
Lisa Davison, More than a Womb
-
Sophfronia Scott, The Seeker and the Monk
-
Laura Fabrycky, Keys to Bonhoeffer’s Haus

Library
We have a small library of books to help us discern what it means to be a Christian, especially an Episcopal Christian, and how to live a Christian life.
Books may be borrowed for one month.

All are welcome to visit our Little Free Library which is fully stocked with a variety of books for adults and children. There is a sitting area where you can enjoy the pleasures of reading. For more information about Little Free Libraries, visit their website at littlefreelibrary.org.
