“Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.”
~ Psalm 150:6
Worship is at the heart of all we do at St. David’s. From the multiple regular services on Sundays to the great services of the church year, we are a worshiping community who come together to offer our praise and prayers to God and to grow in community in the presence of the Lord. We encourage you to join us often to enter more deeply into the worship of God.

Holy Eucharist (Communion)
All baptized Christians are welcome to take the elements offered at the Holy Eucharist (communion). You may take both elements (bread and wine) or just one. If you would prefer not to take communion, you can remain seated, or come forward with your arms crossed to receive a blessing.
Formation
From September through April, formation for all ages takes place immediately following the 9:15 a.m. Chapel service. See the formation page for locations and topics.

Livestreaming and Photography NoticeÂ
When you enter a St. David’s worship service or event, you will be entering an area where photography, video, and audio recording or live streaming may occur.
St. David’s takes photographs and/or makes audio and/or video recordings of members involved in church related activities. Staff and/or participants may use such photographs or video records to recall activities or participants. In addition, such photographs and audio/visual recordings may be used in St. David’s publication and marketing materials to let others know of our ministries, and/or streaming and website hosting of worship.
By entering the Church/event premises, you consent to photography, audio recording, video recording and its/their release, publication, exhibition, or reproduction to be used for livestreaming, promotional purposes, inclusion on web sites, and/or any other purpose by St. David’s. You release St. David’s Church, its clergy, employees, laity, and each and all persons involved from any liability connected with the taking, recording, digitizing, and/or publication of photographs, computer images, video and/or sound recordings.
By entering the service/event premises, you waive all rights you may have to any claims for payment or royalties in connection with any exhibition, streaming, webcasting, or other publication of these materials, regardless of the purpose. You also waive any right to inspect or approve any photo, video, or audio recording taken by St. David’s Church or the person or entity designated to do so by St. David’s. If at any time you find a photo or video on our website or YouTube channel that you prefer to have removed for privacy or safety reasons, please contact the office.
Sunday morning at 9:15 a.m. worship in the Chapel and other Holy Days and special events held in the Chapel are generally livestreamed online. The stream video remains available following the service on our streaming platforms.
If you prefer not to be recognized on camera, you may sit in the back left area of pews (the nave) where the cameras generally only get a distant wide-view and Holy Eucharist (communion) will typically be only on a wide-shot where it will be difficult to recognize parishioners, though non-appearance is still not guaranteed. You may also sit in the overflow seating areas on a Holy Day.
On certain Holy Days we will also offer one service in the Chapel, which is not livestreamed, for example the 11:30 a.m. Chapel service on Easter Sunday and the 6 p.m. Chapel service on Christmas Eve.
We also encourage you to attend another service location. Services in the Church (Sundays at 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.) are never streamed, nor is the Sunday Young Families Worship at 9:30 a.m. in Allen Hall. Please note there may be still photography or short video/audio clips taken in these spaces from time to time.
This is your full information of your consent, waiver of liability, and release before entering the service/event.
