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.

Weren’t able to attend? Watch Bob’s message on YouTube

and look for inspiration from Bob on Instagram, Twitter and

Facebook. Just search ‘Bob Goff.’

Clockwise from top left: Bob’s infectious

energy delighted the crowd of all ages

at St. David’s; Bob’s book Love Does

which was the subject of an adult

formation class at St. David’s and the

study book for our school staff, youth

groups and the summer staff at Camp

Capers; Bob stayed at St. David’s late

into the evening signing books and

taking pictures with attendees; Bob

prays with the audience; Bob with Rev.

Lisa and Kirk Mason.
