Staff Dear People of St. David’s, I pray that you and yours are well and welcome you to this edition of The Dove in the year when we are focused on “Faith Matters”. We followers of Jesus are all about knowing, living, and sharing the faith and in this edition of The Dove, you will see all three areas of the Christian life. We seek ways to grow in our faith as we focus on how we can keep a holy Advent and what Christ’s coming means for our lives and for the life of the world. We have articles on how we can offer and use our gifts in living our faith. There are also opportunities for us to invite others to join us for musical offerings, outreach, and worship. As St. James wrote in his letter, our faith is connected to the works of our lives. All of us are called to use our gifts on God’s behalf and to help build St. David’s into a community of loving relationship. Each of us can find ways to offer our gifts and I hope as you read this edition of The Dove you will be moved by God to deepen your commitment which will deepen your faith. Grace and Peace and Love,
The Rev. W. Frank Allen, Rector
