And I am sure of this, that God who began a good work in you
will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
-Phillipians 1:6

Dear Friends in Christ,

Last year was a year of transition. We started the year in lock down with only online services. Thankfully by February we were able to return to worshiping together in the building and slowly but surely we resumed activities as the spring unfolded. Last summer, we were able to hold in-person summer worship services at St. David’s for the first time since 2019 and this fall our groups and committees started to meet and plan for a return to our normal life.

We’re not the same church or congregation that we were before Covid. We’re doing new things that we’ve never done before, we’ve changed the way some of our groups and activities happen, and some activities we’ve chosen to end. Yet no matter how much things have changed over the past few years, the fact is that we continue to be the people of Jesus Christ in this place- committed to learning and growing as disciples, reaching out into the community with signs of the good news, and working to shine with the light of Christ.

As we consider the year which lies ahead, let us always be mindful of how God has been with us in the times of uncertainty and how we are called to live as God’s people now and always.

Yours In Christ’s Service,

The Rev. Peter A Smith
