2011-11-06T13:00:00.000-07:00

It has been a number of years since St Margaret’s has had a stewardship campaign. The church has been, and remains strong financially. So what has changed, why a pledge drive this year? At the annual meeting at the beginning of the year a motion was passed to build an addition to the church to accommodate additional program space as well as improved office space. The need for this

Be Ready I’m not sure how many of you have seen the movie ‘Almost an Angel’ which stars Paul Hogan of ‘Crocodile Dundee’ fame. His character is a bank robber who gets knocked down by a car in the act of saving a little girl’s life. When he comes face to face with God in the afterlife, God says to him “You aren’t very religious, are you?” He replies, “I planned to get very religious – right

Sunday October 30th was another red letter day for us at St. Margaret's! At both our services this morning we had a 'Good Works Fair'. We had representatives from four mission agencies in Edmonton - Hope Mission, the Mustard Seed, Habitat for Humanity, and the Edmonton Food Bank - come and speak to us about the work their agencies do. After each service we had a coffee hour and an opportunity

Spaghetti Church #7

2011-10-29T18:58:00.000-06:00

We had about forty people out for our 'Spaghetti Church' gathering Saturday afternoon. We looked at the story of Joseph in the Old Testament (Genesis 37-50), using crafts, songs, a story and prayers, and we then gathered for a spaghetti meal. Here are a few of the pictures.

Spaghetti Church is today (Saturday) at St. Margaret's!

2011-10-29T08:34:00.000-06:00

This is our monthly opportunity for parents and children (and grandparents too) to play, sing, learn, pray, and eat together. The theme this month is 'The Story of Joseph' (the Old Testament character from Genesis, not the New Testament husband of Mary!). Here's what we're up to today: · Arrival time, welcome, name tags (basement). · Tim Chesterton will lead an opening prayer at 3.30, and

In some shows, the basic rule is ‘shoot first and ask

2011-05-15T11:34:00.001-06:00

Is What We Do Important? Let me begin today by asking you to think about this question: are the things that we do as a Christian church here at St. Margaret’s important? I don’t just mean “Are they enjoyable?” I mean, in the great big scheme of things, are they important? Or, to put it the other way around, if we weren’t here to do the things we do, would the people who

2011-05-08T11:27:00.000-06:00

Who are we? Many of you have heard me say that when the early Christians went out to spread the Christian message, they always began by announcing good news, not by giving good advice. It’s not that they never gave good advice; it’s just that they were very clear about the proper order of things. Speaking grammatically, we might say that they always put the indicatives

Hope for the Future and Strength for the Present A few years ago, as many of you know, I was in the habit of going once a month to the Edmonton Young Offender Centre to lead Sunday afternoon services. One time I was planning to do a bit of teaching about prayer, and I asked the chaplain if she had any advice. She said, ‘Remember that kids here have no privacy. The doors

The Christian Adventure One of my favourite movies about the life of Jesus is Franco Zeffirelli’s ‘Jesus of Nazareth’, which was first shown on TV on Easter weekend of 1977. Near the end of the movie, there’s a wonderful scene in which one of the Jewish religious leaders – the people who have been Jesus’ enemies – goes down into the empty tomb where the body of Jesus had

Sermon for Good Friday (by lay-reader Brian Popp)

2011-04-22T12:53:00.001-06:00

IT IS FINISHED - JESUS’ VICTORY ON THE CROSS Have you ever considered what difference the death of Jesus on the cross on Good Friday has made in your life? Has it changed the way you practice your faith? Is it a contributing factor to how you view life after death? Do you truly believe the story of Jesus death and resurrectio and its meaning to our Christian faith?

The Power of Love I once heard a story about a city in South America with a fourteen-lane highway running through the middle of it. Scary as it may seem, there were no traffic lights to regulate this highway. Instead, at various points along the road there were police towers. Policemen would stand in these towers to regulate traffic, and whenever they raised a hand, the

Adding Life to Your Days Like many of you, I’ve attended my share of funerals over the years, and of course as a pastor I’ve conducted lots of them as well. I know the reactions that death tends to provoke in people. No matter how strong our Christian faith is, we all find death difficult to deal with. This is even true when the person has died a natural death, full of

2011-04-03T11:51:00.000-06:00

‘Open our Eyes’ A very good friend of mine who claims to be an agnostic once said to me, “Christ makes much more sense to me as a man than he does as the Son of God. I can understand him as a man – a very good man, in fact - but not as some sort of supernatural being”. This immediately reminded me of the saying of Gandhi that he could accept Jesus “as a martyr, an

Finding New Life Our gospel for today contains three words or phrases that typically strike fear into the hearts of Anglicans. I wonder if you noticed them? One of them is the word ‘saved’. In verse 17 we read, ‘Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him’. We Anglicans have a real
