Thank You

Frank Marshall and Father Dan, who serve on the Camp Stevens Board of Directors, thank you. Thank you for making a contribution to the rebuilding efforts underway at Camp Stevens.

We expect to give you updates here about the progress being made at the Camp.

The Camp will be open to children and youth this Summer. If you have a child or grandchild 8-16 years old, send them to Camp Stevens for a week they will never forget!

Brochures listing the Summer Programs are available in the Narthex (church lobby) and the Office. You may also look and register online:

Pentecost Sunday

For the 10:30 am service on Sunday, May 11, The Day of Pentecost, we are again looking for readers to read the Acts scripture reading all together (yes, everyone reads at the same time in various languages…no solo reading here!).

This can be a wonderful way to experience the Pentecost reading but we need MANY readers. We are looking for not just one person to read in each language, but as many as possible to read in as many languages as possible.

We can furnish the reading in most languages.

Please call John Wright at 346-2697 x 109 or email him at johnwright@stmargarets.org to volunteer.

Invite a friend to come and share in our Service of Holy Communion. Hear the Good News. Come, receive the Bread of Heaven and the Cup of Salvation.

Sat - 5:30 pm
Sun - 7:45 am
Sun - 9:00 am
Sun - 10:30 am

St. Paul wrote: "Let love be genuine; ... hold fast to what is good; love one another with mutual affection" (Romans 12:9-10, NRSV). In that spirit, we welcome all who come to worship and work at St. Margaret's.
