The Grove Committee invites members of the congregation to participate in a series of small-group listening sessions focused on the future of the Grove.
These sessions are designed to gather thoughtful input and help the congregation better understand how the Grove is currently used, how it functions in practice, and what its opportunities and limitations may be. This process is centered on experiential learning and is not intended to promote a specific outcome.

The first four listening sessions will focus on:
Listening Session #1 - First impressions and current use
Date: Thursday, May 7th, Time: 5:30 - 6:30 pm

Listening Session #2 - Functionality and everyday use
Date: Monday, May 18th. Time: 5:30 - 6:30 pm

Listening Session #3 - Use cases and flexibility
Date: Monday, June 22nd, Time: 5:30 - 6:30 pm

Listening Session #4 - Conditions and comfort
Date: Monday, July 13th, Time: 5:30 - 6:30 pm

Each session will be 60 minutes and held at the Grove (located across the street from the Church, 204 W. David Road), with small groups to encourage meaningful conversation.

A sign-up sheet is available in the Narthex following the service.
All are encouraged to participate in one or more sessions. Your perspective is important, regardless of your level of familiarity with the Grove.

Music has been an important component of the David's Church worship for 200 years. The earliest congregations sung hymns from memory. Then the congregation acquired a piano, and then later an organ. A handbell choir was added in about the 1970's. Modern worship services include a wide array of voices and instruments.

As part of our 200th Anniversary Celebration year, during the month of May we will be trying something a little different. Our current David's worship service normally includes three hymns that are sung by the congregation during the service. Tim Williams and Lyn Morton meet regularly with the Pastors to select music which complements the worship theme.

During the four Sundays of May leading up to Music Sunday on May 31, one of the three hymns that we sing together will be an “old fashioned" hymn.

As a remembrance of the worshipers who have come before us, the 200th Anniversary Committee nominated about 12 "classic" hymns, most chosen from the early hymnals that are still in the David's Church library. Our worship leaders chose an appropriate “historical" hymn to sing each week.

We hope you enjoy this journey down memory lane!

Today we welcomed 10 new members to our congregation, and Rev. Tony posed the question, what is our responsibility to others if we are God's chosen?
