ANYONE from St Margaret's is invited to sing the 1 anthem that volunteers from all congregations will be singing. See the graphic! The song is TBD, but it will be fun and not classic choral music, so you can sing it too, whoever you are. Email Rev Kristen B if you'd like to lift your voice in praise with others at the picnic!

Transfiguration Prayer Service and Picnic – August 6

You are invited to a celebration of the Transfiguration of Jesus in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.

This Prayer Service, followed by a picnic, will take place August 6 with the Prayer Service at 5:30-6:30 pm and the picnic from 6:30-7:30.

The Transfiguration is an extremely important event in human history for the Disciples of Jesus. God literally came from the heavens to help us fulfill His mission on earth. You can actually see this happen in the Transfiguration. Think about that in your prayers.

Today we commemorate the 52nd anniversary of the ordination of 11 women to the priesthood two years before the ordination of women was approved by The Episcopal Church. These women, who came to be called the "Philadelphia Eleven," were Merrill Bittner, Alla Bozarth-Campbell, Alison Cheek, Emily Hewitt, Carter Heyward, Suzanne Hiatt, Marie Moorefield, Jeannette Piccard, Betty Schiess, Katrina Swanson, and Nancy Wittig. They were ordained on July 29, 1974 at the Church of the Advocate in Philadelphia. Read more here: https://prayer.forwardmovement.org/calendar/philadelphia-eleven

St. Margaret of Antioch. Illuminated manuscript ca. 1440.
Today is the feast day of Margaret of Antioch, our patron saint. We will be celebrating her feast on our founding, namely August 30th.

During the reign (284–305) of the Roman emperor Diocletian, Margaret allegedly refused marriage with the prefect Olybrius at Antioch and was consequently beheaded after undergoing many extravagant trials and tortures. Her designation as patron saint of expectant mothers (particularly those experiencing a difficult labor) and her emblem, a dragon, are based on one of her trials: Satan, disguised as a dragon, swallowed Margaret; his stomach, however, soon rejecting her, opened, and let her out unharmed.
