Called to be saints. . .
When Paul wrote to the church in Rome, he addressed his letter “To all God’s beloved … who are called to be saints” (Romans 1:7, NRSV). ... All people whose minds and hearts are devoted to God are “called to be saints.” .... About 700 years after the church began, leaders designated November 1 as All Saints’ Day to honor people whose lives reflect Christ dwelling within them. Because of what God has done for us, all Christians can wear the label of saint.
From the Newsletter Newsletter, November 2010.

Our faith community is an eclectic mix of people, "called to be saints," with differing backgrounds and perspectives, united together in a common love of God and neighbor. Chances are there's someone like you at St. Margaret's.

Holy Baptism

What if I'm here only part of the year?

  • For our many "Seasonal Members," we have created a special "dual citizenship" category.  We can add you as a baptized or confirmed member, with all the rights and responsibilities of any other member. Contact our Parish Secretary, Debby Jansma at 760-346-2697 Ext 104 to begin the process.

As a member of St. Margaret's we ask that you continue to look for opportunities to learn more about scripture by coming to Bible Study, to look for opportunities to serve as presented in Parish Life (the weekly bulletin) and The View (our almost monthly newsletter), and, of course, continue to join in the life of prayer and worship in your new church home.

Contact our Associate Rector, Troy Mendez, to begin the conversation about membership: 760-346-2697 Ext 105

We gather for worship at 8:00 am and 10:00 am on Sunday morning. Nursery Care is available at both Sunday Services. Click here for our map, and for written driving directions

If you are looking here first, please do contact us by email for more information. We look forward to greeting you in the church this Sunday.
