‘The

McCartney:
Starts Thursday September 25th
7.30 – 9.00 p.m. at the church.
Do we value the words of
Jesus? Do we live his words? Through a series of six video conversations, Tony
Campolo and Colin McCartney discuss the radical but clear teachings of Jesus.
Together, they confront complacency and assert that the issues Jesus spoke
directly about should be the priorities of God’s people. We will use their
conversations as a starting point for our own discussions.
Themes:
·
What is Red Letter Christianity? (Sept. 25th)
·
About Materialism (Oct. 2nd)
·
About Compassion (Oct. 9th)
·
About Politics (Oct. 16th)
·
About Spirituality (Oct. 23rd)
·
About Joy (Oct. 30th)
September
28, 2014 is Back to
Church Sunday. This is your year to step out in faith and invite a friend,
neighbor, co-worker, family member or whoever the Spirit might put in your
path. It’s an opportunity to be creative and outgoing in welcoming, inviting
people to come see who we are, a community who meets God in worship and lives
with God in our lives.
We are inviting you and your children to join us for Spaghetti Church Saturday September 27th from 4:00 to 6:00
pm.
In January of 2011, a group of us had a dream of a fun time where
parents and kids could enjoy church together without having to be quiet and
keep the place clean! Spaghetti Church was born on the last Saturday of January
2011 and has been a success ever since!
Spaghetti Church is church for families that enjoy a more informal,
activity-centered and community-oriented way of worshipping together from time
to time. It is held on the last Saturday of every month at 4:00 p.m., and it
typically includes a craft or other activity time, a family-friendly worship
and teaching time, and a simple meal (hence the spaghetti!). Please note that
this is not something you can drop your kids off for; it is intended to be
about families worshipping together, so all children must be accompanied by at
least one parent or grandparent. Our theme this year is going to be “Creation”.
We have a signup sheet policy as food is prepared for all who will be
coming, so please let us know (include the number of people who will be coming
and, if you have not attended before, the ages of the children), or sign up on
the sheet at the back of the church.
Spaghetti Church is only possible because the people who come volunteer
to help out with the various tasks. At the end of each month's session we put
out a job signup for the following month.
Friday Nov. 7,
2014 SAVE THE DATE!! for St. Margaret's 2nd Fundraising Dinner and Silent Auction (to be

will be Bishop Jane Alexander! Please join us for a fun evening to help raise
funds towards our building expansion project. Tickets will be on sale starting
