From Our Rector
The Rev. Lisa Mason
Rector
While we believe that there is no place we can go where we are separated from God, there
are words and actions and thoughts we have in our own lives by which we put barriers or stumbling blocks in our relationship with God
and with others.

Ministry Message
...the weaving of communities is already
incredibly visible, not only between St. David’s and
Wilshire, but also between our church and school
communities.
St. David’s parents and school children worked together in
November to pack Snack Paks for children at Wilshire Elementary.
