Spiritual Growth
 St. Margaret's offers a wide range of options to help in the
life long process of growing spiritually. We recognize the need at any age to feed the mind as well as the soul with good teaching, and to provide an opportunity for deepening our
relationship with God through the gifts of the Spirit.
At St. Margaret's we have learned that this can happen a number of different ways and we provide a wide range of spiritual growth opportunities. A listing of Sunday morning and
midweek offerings follows. Information is also available about the sacraments.

EFM is a program developed by the Sewanee School of Theology of the University of the South and offered at St. Margaret's. Students sign up one year at a time for this four-year
program. EFM covers the basics of a theological education in the Old and New Testaments, church history, liturgy, and theology. Students meet regularly, usually once a week, in
seminars under the guidance of trained mentors. More information is available on the EFM page of the Sewanee
Website. Contact Missy Couch if you're interested in this education opportunity.
Spiritual Direction
Spiritual Direction is an ancient ministry, a unique relationship in which a trained person assists another in the search for an ever-closer union of
love with God. For information, contact the Rev. Christina Jillard.
