March 17-23, 2019

This week at St. Margaret’s  (March 17-23):

Sunday:  Team Jesus Kids are going to share an “object lesson” on the many ways people struggle with daily life because of personal physical challenges, and other types of challenges because of their life circumstances. The children will be in the Eucharist after the “Peace,” with a wheelchair, leg boot, Eye patches, arm injuries, and whatever else I can come up with. Downstairs we will do the lesson sharing from inside cardboard boxes. In the Nave, I will have all the children sit up front with George and myself.

Shampoo Collection: St. Margaret’s will be collecting full size bottles of shampoo for the EHS Angel Network from Sunday March 10th until Sunday April 7th.  Our goal is 120 bottles.  Please place your contributions in one of the boxes in the back of the church.  Please do not bring in bottles that have a pump type of top, as they leak easily if bumped.

We are looking for volunteers to help with the EHS Angel Network spring baskets.

We are looking for three volunteers to help with carrying food items from cars into Holy Spirit Church.  Drop off is Sunday April 7th at 3 PM.  Please see Jenn Burkhardt if interested.
