Notes of Love and Appreciation....

Norma Cardenas, our sexton at St. Margaret's for over 12 years has recently retired, noting medical issues. As the situation in the world prevents us from gathering and celebrating with her, we are asking that you send notes of

thanksgiving and gratitude. A huge thank you to Norma for all the love and hard work here at St. Margaret's Episcopal Church. Please take a moment to say a prayer for her and send a note to her home.

Food Drive-By 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 generally doubled from what was typical before. And while many regular volunteers must stay away during sheltering, new ones have appeared. 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 and space constraints, we are unable to accept clothing at

this time.

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 and/or your pets are doing while in quarantine. We'll share them and put together a slide show. Email them to Debby at [email protected]

Zoom with Us!

If you would like to join a weekly Zoom group to share about how the weekly sermon or daily reflections connect with your life, please respond to [email protected]. Zoom tutorials will be available! If you would like to facilitate a group, please let that be known as well. Seasonals who are now in the east have asked for a group meeting early in the day west coast time, so please consider that option.

New Forward Day by Day Devotional Booklets

Even though we are not in church together, you can still access the new Forward Day by Day devotional booklets. The online version is available on their website www.prayer.forwardmovement.org , or contact Debby for help, and she will be sure you get one! [email protected]

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.

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!
