Tapping our Playfulness in Anxious Times

Feeling stress over all the things we have not? Mother Deb is offering a session on Facebook each Tuesday and Saturday to share how exploring the wisdom of our bodies can give us MORE, not less:

--more energy

--more grace

--more joy

--more fun

--more peace

Using the principles of InterPlay/Body Wisdom, Mother Deb will help everyone (of every physical ability) to trust our body's wisdom, becoming more spontaneous and expanding our awareness and confidence. Postings will explore embodied spirituality, Sabbath-keeping, Table Graces, the use of Holy Water, Counting Prayers, Welcoming God, Walking Prayerfully.

Let's Share Some Selfies

We are all missing each other, so let's share some photos to bridge the distance as we shelter-in-place. Email us fun photos of what you are doing while in quarantine. We'll share them and put together a slide show. Email them to Debby at [email protected]

Upcoming Morning & Evening Prayer

Please join us for Morning Prayer on Wednesday, April 22 and Evening Prayer on Wednesday, April 29 on our Facebook page. This is a recorded service and is not live so you may watch it at your convenience.

Parishioner Database Updates

Debby is busy working on updating our database and we want to include an updated photo of you! Just email any favorite snapshot to Debby: [email protected] . Have an updated phone number, address or email? Send those updates too!

Neighbors-4-Neighbors Update

Miracles continue to happen every Tuesday at St. Margaret's through Neighbors 4 Neighbors. We desperately want to keep the doors open and the carts moving, knowing that many of our clients have depended on the jobs hardest hit during the pandemic closures. With so many facing hardship, the number served has swollen from a usual around 400 to over 910 last week! At the same time, the cadre of those able to volunteer has shrunk from a usual around 80 to 30 last week. Yet God continues to provide and make the seemingly impossible possible. Thank you Chet Hecht and all our volunteers and contributors!

How can you help? Do you know someone healthy enough to safely volunteer? We have strict procedures in place to protect volunteers and clients. 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 www.stmargarets.org and note your purpose.

Please note: due to our volunteer constraints, we are unable to accept clothing at this time.
