Children's Sermon
All children and parents are welcome to participate in the children's sermon. Children and one of our priests will be escorted to Fellowship Hall by adult volunteers for a sermon using the daily Gospel and the Sermon Box as inspiration. The Sermon Box will be sent home with a different child each week. The child is encouraged to place one item in the box and return with it to the Children’s Sermon the following week. The priest will open the box during the Children’s Sermon and attempt to connect the item in the box to the daily Gospel reading. Children, parents, priest and volunteers rejoin the service during the announcements.

Confirmation
Confirmation study is the beginning the spiritual journey for our youth to adult membership in the Episcopal Church. It is a time marked by deep exploration of the faith and how they can personally live into the mission of St. David's church. The foundation for the Confirmation journey is the weekly preparation class. In it, our confirmands will explore how the Holy Spirit will touch their hearts to deepen and strengthen their faith. Learn more about the Confirmation Process.
