This Week @ St. David's
Grace to Go
Grace to Go is one of St. David's longest running outreach programs, providing fully cooked meals to our Loudoun County neighbors. St. David's is one of four "anchor" organizations which Grace to Go counts on to lead the food preparation and distribution efforts once each month -- typically 1-3PM @ the second Sunday followed by Monday afternoon meal distribution, both in Leesburg. St. David's is seeking an individual or a family who would be able to carry the outreach forward in 2022. Training/orientation will be provided and volunteers to help with meal preparation routinely will come from both the St. David's community and/or your own circles of family/friends/sports teams/school groups, etc. St. David's must name its new outreach leader by November 1 in order for the larger Grace to Go organization to plan accordingly for 2022. If St. David's does not have an outreach leader by November 1, its commitment to Grace to Go will come to an end. Thanks for your prayerful consideration!
Altar Guild
Altar Guild members are needed! Do you enjoy setting the table for meals? This is an opportunity for you (yes, you) to set God’s table!! Join a small team; and, on average, one week a month, help set up and cleanup the altar for Sunday services. Training can be at your convenience and usually takes less than an hour. If you are looking for ways to contribute to St. David’s, Altar Guild requires a minimal time commitment and does not affect your Sunday worship time; but is vital to worship at St. David’s. If interested or if you have questions, please contact the office, Margaret Anderson, or Katie Graham.
Backpack Buddies
In the 2020-2021 school year the Backpack Buddies program at St. David’s supported 130 students each week in three Ashburn schools , Cedar Lane Elementary, Discovery Elementary and Broad Run High School. For those not familiar with this program, Backpack Buddies is designed to provide children experiencing food insecurity with nutritious, kid-friendly, pre-packed meals for the weekend—when they would not have access to a school’s free lunch and breakfast. We need your help restocking our shelves in preparation for supporting these schools again in the 2021-22 school year! Please look over the list below for preferred items. There are tall metal shelves in the back of the church narthex where food donations can be placed. Thanks in advance for your support!
