Friday Morning Men's Fellowship Bible Study
6:45-8:00 a.m. in the Undercroft
All men are welcome!
The Friday Morning Men's Fellowship Bible Study provides a small group setting as a catalyst for spiritual growth and fellowship among the men of St Davids. Our goal is to promote an environment where both lifelong Christians and brand new Christians can ask questions, get answers, make friends and increase in their knowledge and love of Christ.
We always have a biblically related topic to study, either a book of the Bible or related materials. To date we have studied Matthew, Romans, Renovare and the book, Wild at Heart.
We use small group discussion as the primary means of learning. Contact Reid Blynn rblynn@gvasmithmack.com for more information.

St. David's Men's Retreat
Friday and Saturday, January 21-22, 2011
"What's Next?..in our work, families and spiritual lives" Please make note of the new date which enables our own Frank Allen to join us as facilitator, with Tom Pumphrey serving as spiritual director.

Check-in is from 4:00-6:00 pm Friday January 21, and the retreat will end promptly at 4:00 pm on Saturday January 22.
The cost has been capped at $175 per person, however, if your circumstances permit, we welcome payment of the full $209 charged by the Center. Please don't let cost be a factor in deciding whether to attend, as more funding is available at whatever level you need. Contact Tom Pumphrey for more information, tpumphrey@stdavidschurch.org.
Take this opportunity to spend time in fellowship and renewal with Frank, Tom and other men of St. David's.
Space is limited, so secure a place as early as possible by mailing a check made payable to "St. David's Episcopal Church" and noted "for Men's Retreat". You may also pay with credit card by calling or visiting Marilyn Callaghan in the church office.
