1 WARDENS’ REPORT

Dear Members of St. David's:

For many churches, this time of year marks a time when many start to take time off from church activities. After all, Sunday School has concluded for the year, students are graduating and families are planning vacations.

For St. David's, this summer will once again be different. After launching her tenure here with tremendous success and enthusiasm, Rev. Hawley will soon embark on maternity leave in preparation of welcoming her new baby to the Hawley family. Rev. Stuart Kenworthy, who so ably led St. David's as our interim minister during our transition period, will resume his role as interim minister while Kristen is away. Our seminarian, Melesa Skoglund is scheduled to return from maternity leave. Committees will meet, work on Capital Campaign projects will continue, and the Vestry will once again meet over the summer months. Clearly, St. David's is continuing to experiencing a real growth trajectory.

Additionally, there have been several major life events since the publication of the last issue of Glad Tidings. St. David's welcomed two members to the church community with the baptism of William Lucas Weidner and the confirmation of Christine Arnold. Sadly, the church also lost two members as funeral services were held for Athlestan Frederick "Fred" Spilhaus, Jr., PhD, and Elizabeth Beach "Betsy" Rea. May their families find comfort and may they both rest in peace.

Finally, many of you probably know that St. David's - along with many other churches - historically experience a dip in cash flow over the summer months. This is completely understandable as many parishioners are away. As St. David's needs to meet financial obligations every month of the year, perhaps parishioners can make an extra effort to continue contributing over the summer.

Thanks for the opportunity to serve as your Senior Warden, and we look forward to seeing many of you soon.

Faithfully,

Stephen T. Sears Senior Warden

SAINT DAVID'S SUMMER CHOIR OPEN TO ALL!

From Memorial Day to Labor Day, the regular St David’s choir is on summer break. During the summer season, we typically have one choir member each Sunday to help lead the congregation in hymn singing. This summer, we are creating a new volunteer Summer Choir to lead the congregation in hymn singing. The Summer Choir will be open to all! One member from our regular choir will be there each week to help out as well. So, if any of you enjoy singing, why not consider giving the Summer Choir a try? There is no firm weekly commitment and no difficult music to learn. The Summer Choir will practice 30 minutes before the 10am service on Sunday mornings (coffee is provided), practice the hymns and the join in the processional, leading the congregation in song for the hymns that morning from the chancel. Please see me on Sunday or email me at [email protected] with questions or to sign up. Looking forward to singing with you this summer! Rob Church.

5 THE GIFT OF SUPPLIES TO THE WALKER SCHOOL St. David’s has developed a tradition of donating the school supplies needed by the students in Grades 1 through 3 at the Bishop Walker School. Started a number of years ago, this Outreach effort has won the generous support of the congregation and is a project for which St. David’s is known in the Washington Diocese. The Bishop Walker School is a highly regarded Episcopal private day school for boys founded in 2006 by the diocese in Anacostia.

The supplies are pre-ordered by St. David from Outreach funds. Parishioners should select the items they would like to donate from the list below. Please phone Yeme, in the Parish Office, at 202-966-2093 to confirm your choice. Then send in a check for the amount of the item to the Parish House or place it in the collection plate. The check should be made out to St. David’s and PLEASE put BWS supplies in the memo line of the check.

The supplies will be organized by the congregation on Sunday, June 3, following the 10 am service. Please consider contributing to this project and volunteering your time to fill the pencil boxes and tie them with ribbons.
