If you would like someone to pray with you and for any reason or concern, please come forward to the altar rail immediately following Sunday worship. There will be two members of the prayer team there to pray with you. This prayer ministry is open to all, for any need or concern.

Worship for This Sunday, March 29
By Sunday morning, we will send links to participate in this Sunday's Worship Service with the Service Bulletin. We will  share the links via St. Mail, stmargarets.org and Facebook. 
Pancakes this Sunday??
Pancakes


Our plan had been to serve a Pancake Breakfast after Sunday Services this weekend. Since that will no longer be possible, we hope you will enjoy pancakes at home and feel a sense of community as we all savor the same flavors.
Easter Floral Tributes

  1. Send a check with your tribute to St. Margaret's: 47-535 Highway 74, Palm Desert, CA 92260
  2. Email Debby your tribute and she will contact you for payment. debbyj@stmargarets.org 
  3. Use EasyTithe for your payment and email Debby your tribute: www.stmargarets.org
Neighbors-4-Neighbors
Neighbors 4 Neighbors has heightened importance in these times. Our clients are among those hardest hit; service sector jobs are declining as events and trips are canceled.  So, with safe practices in place, we must stay open if at all possible. Demand is skyrocketing, from an average of 400 families to serving over 650 last week! We are so thankful for the extraordinary volunteers who have lent a hand. 

Along with the rising numbers of families we are feeding, comes the rising cost of food and supplies. We can really use your financial support.
Can you make a special contribution to help with this vital Outreach?

Please respond generously by sending an offering with N4N on the memo line. Or use the easyTithe link on the homepage of
and note your purpose. Stay well, take good care of each other, and keep Neighbors-4-Neighbors, our community and our world in your prayers.
