All followers of Christ and all those seeking a deeper relationship with Christ know that they are to listen to and study the words of Christ learning from his words and his example; and they also know that they are to find ways to imitate Christ as they serve others, as they study with others, as they give glory to God with others, as they pray with and for others, in short, they understand that all they say and do is to be done for the glory of God. In order to live into this, a follower of Christ finds strength and inspiration within the community, the People of God, the Church. Welcome to St. Margaret's Episcopal Church a place to find strength and inspiration.
