Sunday morning service, October 13, 2019, under the leadership of Rev. Peggy, was a service of thanksgiving. As we listened to Brent's Prelude, we were invited to think about our generosity as it pertained to St. David's. Later in the service, we laid our gifts, as written on a little piece of paper, on the "Prosperity" Offering plate. The music ministry was provided by the Chamber Choir. Excerpts from the Christian testaments of 2 Cor. 9:6-15, Mark 12: 38-44 and Acts 2:26-27 were read by Heather Chubb-Way prior to Rev. Peggy's reflection entitled 'Generosity: a Heart Condition.' Sacred Service Coordinator, Sally Hodges and her October team were at task this morning, making sure that all was ready for us.

In the balcony on October 13, 2019 were PSALT members (Projection, Sound and Light Team), Deb Charnuski and Tapas Sidker. In the office were Kerry Duncan McCartney and Heather Chubb-Way. (counters).
