St. David's Episcopal Church is proud to host the 2010 VBC. We are a new-old, big-small church in the heart of Southeast Portland, seeking to proclaim the Kingdom through community, worship, sustainability, reconciliation, and the arts. 

You can check us out at www.saintdavidpdx.org or follow us on Facebook: "Saint David of Wales". 

As part of the Village Building Convergence, we’ll be working on two projects, a community kiosk and a mosaic tile mural. Come help us make it happen! See below for workday schedules. 

About the kiosk 
Our neighbors asked for it and now they'll have it! A community bulletin board outside the church, where 28th Avenue meets Harrison Street. The structure will be made of brick and wood, and will be a place for neighbors to learn about the many goings-on both inside our building and around the 'hood. 

About the wall 
A mosaic tile mural made from broken pottery, repurposed ceramic tiles and works of art by children who use our building will bring beauty and new life to the retaining wall of St. David's parking lot along the Harrison Street sidewalk. The colors suggest earth, sea, and sky, and the design suggests a river and a holy wind.
