St. David’s United Church opened its doors on Sept. 27 for the first-ever Doors Wide Open event. Designed to bring the community together, the afternoon invited neighbours to step inside, meet members, and explore the wide range of programs and activities the church has to offer. Guests explored 21 interactive stations, 10 showcasing church ministries and 11 hosted by local groups that gather regularly at St. David’s. The Optimist Club of Oxford County kept visitors well fed with a delicious BBQ, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. The event drew close to 50 attendees, including children and families, who enjoyed learning more about both the church and its partners. St. David’s extends heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of the day. Given the success of this inaugural gathering, organizers are already looking ahead to next year’s Doors Wide Open.
