Prayer Tree

The St. David's Prayer Tree consists of teams of parishioners committed to a ministry of prayer. The prayer tree has three components.

• Parishioners, and their immediate family members, with serious or life-threatening illnesses may be placed on the full prayer tree. 
• Parishioners, family members or family friends who are not as critically ill, or have a life situation that is not as ‘critical’ as those described above, are assigned to an individual prayer team for prayer for two months. 
• The third component is a “Day of Prayer”. If we receive a request informing us that someone is undergoing surgery or testing, all members of the Prayer Tree will pray throughout the day for that person.

If you would like to join this wonderful and gratifying ministry, please contact prayer@sdlife.org. To make a prayer request, please use our on-line request form. All prayer requests are confidential.

Communion at Home
​and Pastoral Visits

If you are unable to be with the community due to illness, surgery etc. and would like communion brought to your home or a pastoral visit please contact pastoralcare@sdlife.org or call the office.

Prayer Quilt Ministry

The idea behind these quilts is simple, yet powerful. A heavy thread is used to take stitches through the quilt layers, and the ends are left free to be tied with a square knot. As each knot is tied, a silent prayer is offered for someone in need of comfort or healing- someone who has asked the members of our Community to pray for them. The quilt is then given to that person. Adult and teen quilts are approximately 42”x 54” while baby/children quilts are 28” x 28”.

To request a prayer quilt for yourself, a family member, or anyone who is in need of comfort or healing (please  be sure the recipient is willing), contact prayerquilt@sdlife.org or contact the church office. If possible, please give at least 1 week notice to make the quilt and set arrangements for tying of the quilt on Sunday morning.

If you are interested in donating some of your time, talents, fabric or other supplies to the Prayer Quilt Ministry, please contact prayerquilt@sdlife.org.
