On Sunday, August 25th, Saint David’s will hold an outdoor Eucharist and summer picnic at Jackson Beach. We’ll gather under the picnic shelter to pray and feast as the Body of Christ. The worship service will begin about 10:30 that morning, followed immediately by the picnic and games.

Sign-ups for will be available in the narthex starting on July 21st. You are encouraged to bring your favorite picnic dish to share. Maybe that is a salad or devilled eggs or a dessert. If fire risk abates and we are able to grill, please consider signing up to cook burgers or hotdogs and to help with set-up and clean-up. In addition to drinks, we’ll provide vegan and carnivore friendly protein (e.g., hamburgers and hotdogs). You are also encouraged to bring your favorite camp chair(s), blankets, and games.

Finally, to accommodate those who are unable to attend, please note that Morning Prayer will take place as scheduled at 8:00 that morning at church.

O come, let us worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness at Jackson Beach!
