Dear St. David’s Family,

Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I would like to warmly encourage you to join us for worship this Sunday as we gather around the Lord’s Table to celebrate Holy Communion.

Communion is a special gift from our Lord. Through the bread and the cup, we remember Christ’s sacrifice for us, give thanks for His grace, and renew our fellowship with Him and with one another. It is a sacred time to reflect on God’s love, receive His spiritual nourishment, and strengthen our faith.

Whether you have been attending regularly or have been away for a while, you are warmly welcomed. Your presence is a blessing to our church family, and we look forward to worshipping together.

May the Lord prepare our hearts as we come to His Table with gratitude, faith, and joy.

In Christ’s love,

Rev. Paul Ku
St. David’s Presbyterian Church

 

The 151st General Assembly will meet at York University from Sunday, June 7 until Thursday, June 11, 2026. 

The General Assembly is the highest decision-making body of The Presbyterian Church in Canada, attended by an equal number of ministers and elders who are commissioned by presbyteries. The Assembly votes on matters of theology and polity that affect the whole denomination. It receives, discusses, and makes decisions on reports from committees, petitions, overtures, references, and appeals. Its decisions are made carefully. Some issues require study over several years. The General Assembly elects a moderator—a minister or elder—who presides over the Assembly and continues in an inspirational and ceremonial role for a year, until the next General Assembly.

Dear St. David’s Family,

Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

As we celebrated Pentecost Sunday yesterday,  we remember the wonderful coming of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples in Acts 2. Through wind and fire, God filled His people with courage, faith, and new life. Pentecost reminds us that the church is not simply a building or organization, but a living family of God empowered by the Holy Spirit.

On this special Sunday, I give thanks to God for each one of you and for the faithful ministry and worship life of St. David’s Presbyterian Church. The same Holy Spirit who strengthened the early church continues to work among us today—bringing hope in difficult times, peace in uncertainty, and unity within the body of Christ.

As a congregation, we continue to pray for the renewal of St. David’s: revival in worship, deeper faith, loving fellowship, and a stronger witness to our community. I believe God is continuing to guide and shape our church for His/Her purpose, and the Holy Spirit is leading us step by step.

May the Holy Spirit fill your hearts with comfort, wisdom, strength, and joy. Let us continue to worship faithfully, pray earnestly, and encourage one another as we walk together in Christ.

“Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,” says the Lord Almighty. (Zechariah 4:6)

With prayers and blessings,

Rev. Paul Ku

Dear Beloved, the family and friends of St. David’s,

Grace and peace to you in the name of our risen Lord, Jesus Christ. As we enter the season of Easter, we are reminded of the greatest truth of our faith: Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!

Easter is not only a celebration of the past—it is God’s power at work in our present. The resurrection assures us that no darkness is final and no situation is beyond God’s renewing grace.

As I reflect on our journey together at St. David’s, I see a church that has walked through many seasons—yet through it all, God has been faithful. Just as the empty tomb brought new life, I believe God is continuing to renew our congregation.

Easter calls us to live with hope, stand in faith, and move forward with confidence in God’s promises. Though we may be small in number, we are rich in faith, love, and commitment—and God delights in working through faithful communities.

As we celebrate this Easter season, I invite you:

• To renew your faith in the risen Christ
• To return with joy to worship and fellowship
• To walk together as one body, united in love and purpose

Let us remember:
The resurrection is not only something we believe—it is something we live.

May the hope of Easter fill your hearts,
the peace of Christ guide your steps,
and the Holy Spirit lead us into renewal and revival at St. David’s.

With prayer and blessing,
Rev. Paul Ku
St. David’s Presbyterian Church

Beloved St. David’s family,

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. As the holy season arrives again, I give thanks for a congregation shaped by God’s faithfulness and sustained by the prayers and love of His people. This year, like every year, Christmas reminds us that our Saviour stepped into our world not in loud spectacle but in divine πρόθεσις (prothesis)—God’s intentional, set-in-place purpose.

The angels’ first message echoed “Do not be afraid; I bring you good news of great joy.” This χαρά (chara)—Spirit-given joy still rings true for us today. The manger was not a sign of poverty, but a sign of accessibility—God’s invitation for all people to draw near to Jesus, our Saviour and King.

So let us walk into Christmas faithful, hopeful, and worship-filled, remembering that part of our readiness for Christ is to return each week joyfully to the Sunday worship service, where God renews our strength and unites us around His grace.

May the Lord bless every home this season—with comfort, healing, provision, reconciliation, and peace. To those who carry burdens, may Christ be your Bread of Life. To those waiting for a breakthrough, may He be your Shepherd of Hope. To those in need of healing, may He be your Restorer.

Let us hold fast to the promise of His coming, confident that the King who entered suddenly at Bethlehem still arrives by grace and purpose.

And we close our hope with His Word:

“Yes, I am coming soon.” — Revelation 22:20

In joyful expectation and faithful love,

I remain yours to serve in Christ our King,

Rev.  Paul Ku
