A New Series Begins: Check your email for your invitation
A Message from Rev. Peggy
Hello friends, happy strange new year.
It feels good to be back with you and to worship together again. (Check your email for your invitation.)
I am beginning a series that will take us through the Epiphany season up to the beginning of Lent. The series is entitled, “God is Holding Your Life.” If you click on this link you will be able to watch the “Trailer” for the series. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DWlX7l9FYDwDpzBsX9nHJRMveriYkay0/view?usp=sharing
I’ve attached the worship folder for those who wish to follow along (See MINISTRIES/WORSHIP to view and print).
Each week we will take a moment to write prayer concerns on small pieces of paper. We will then place these prayers in a container, a symbolic action of placing them in God’s hands,
God’s care. Peace and love,
Rev. Peggy McDonagh

If you find yourself in need of a practice that can help settle yourself in the midst of anxiety, here is the healing practice Betty Minnifie has taught us.
Harmonizing Your Energy: Move slowly through each step:
Remember that God is with us, holding us in love and strength, that the light of Christ offers hope in tough times and that the Spirit walks with us every day of our lives.
“Let your joy be in your journey – not in some distant goal” Tom Cook
ANNOUNCEMENT
Sooth your soul in the sanctuary: Join Debbie and Brent in the sanctuary on Wednesday January 20 from 6:30-7:30 pm. Light a candle. Listen to some soft worshipful music. Open yourself to the Spirit and feel love wrap round you.

A Message from Brent Tucker, music director at St. David's:
Marry Christmas everyone! This year is certainly very different from any other and the Sunday morning music of the season is something that’s been hard not to be sharing in person this time around. In its place, here’s a selection of Advent and Christmas organ music performed by Garrett and I for you to enjoy.
Grab a cup of hot chocolate, sit by the fireplace and enjoy a December concert or play it as you wrap your Christmas presents. However you listen, here’s our gift to you.
God bless and Merry Christmas. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMF06agoiQkLyxtmIEb1zV3R3qlpDq64k

COVID-19 has made a difference in our lives, for sure, but our St. David's community remains such an important part of our week. We last met as a congregation on March 15, 2020. Plans for returning continue to be a work in progress. Stay tuned!!
