Worship at St. Margaret’s is liturgical and sacramental. That means our worship service follows a pattern based in ancient and beautiful traditions, the people participate in the prayers, and we celebrate Holy Eucharist (Communion) every Sunday. The worship service includes music, Bible readings, and a thought-provoking sermon.
We like musical variety at St. Margaret’s: if you prefer an upbeat contemporary band, come to the 8:45 a.m. service. If you prefer inspiring traditional hymns with choir and organ, come to the 11:00 a.m. service.
After the service, feel free to join in coffee and conversation or take a tour of the church.
