Join us Sunday for our All Saints celebration, featuring the traditional reading of the names of our beloved dead, candle lighting, and the baptism of David Schaffer. During coffee hour, the Wellness Committee will host Rick Weaver for a special program on “Celtic Culture and Music” as we prepare for St. Margaret’s weekend. Don’t forget to turn your clocks back one hour Saturday night!

St. Margaret’s enjoyed a wonderful visit from Bishop Audrey Scanlan last Sunday, including an inspiring sermon, fellowship, and a welcoming reception. Mo. Laura will be away October 19–26, with Mo. Maria Tjeltveit preaching and celebrating on October 25, and Jim Derr serving at the organ. For pastoral care during her absence, please contact Kathy Leber or Greg Cygan.

The House of Bishops encourages The Episcopal Church to face today’s challenges with honesty while holding onto hope in God’s promise of renewal and new creation. They remind us that, even amid suffering and uncertainty, we are called to move from fear to hope by comforting those who grieve, supporting those who struggle, and working toward justice, healing, and reconciliation.

As autumn begins, Mother Laura reflects on the beauty and resilience of nature, from colorful mums to the ancient ginkgo tree, and how they remind us of life’s changing seasons. Inspired by Ecclesiastes 3, she encourages us to reflect on balance in our lives and consider how we share our time and energy among family, friends, work, rest, fun, and God.

Mo. Laura highlights a busy summer at St. Margaret’s, including a record-breaking Ellie Escher music camp with 33 students and an upcoming performance opportunity in August. She also shares plans for a fall Pasta Potluck and celebrates the church’s efforts to create more accessible seating for people using wheelchairs and other assistive devices.
