St. David's Episcopal Church holds last service

From Central FL.

Fewer people are going to church and it's led many churches to close their doors, such as St. David's Episcopal Church in Lakeland.
  • St. David's Episcopal Church to close
  • Last church service held Sunday 
  • Congregation to join St. Stephen's Episcopal Church
According to a 2014 Pew Research Center telephone survey of more than 35,000 Americans, only 36 percent attend religious services once a week.

Several members of St. David's Episcopal Church cried as they celebrated the passing of the peace, the last communion and the last sermon in their church home, a place that opened its doors to worshippers back in 1953.
