As the people of St. Margaret’s, when we celebrate the Celtic heritage of our region, we not only celebrate Celtic art, music and dancing, but also its rich spirituality of finding God in all of creation. On Saturday, July 23, St. Margaret’s will host Celtic prayer at noon, five, and eight. In between noon and five in the church. The memorial garden is also open for quiet reflection.

Where are the HEPA filter air machines? The church’s new built-in air exchange and filtration system has been installed and is now operational. The machines you are used to seeing have been relocated to the Parish Hall. Masks will continue to be available. Some in our community will choose to wear masks, others of us will feel safe not wearing masks. We honor this diversity in our congregation.
