We will have a live stream of the consecration and installation of the Rev. Thomas J. Brown as 10th Bishop of Maine at 11 a.m. in the Parish Hall at St. Margaret’s.

Bring a Super Bowl-like snack to share. We want to celebrate!

St. Margaret’s was well represented on this beautiful Saturday morning as the parade marched from the High School through town.

The Vestry and John+ gathered for the day on May 18, 2019 for a time of reflection, sharing, and goal-making. It was a very productive day, steeped in prayer and appreciation for one another – with laughs and fun too!

We were doubly blessed on Sunday, May 12 when not only Bishop Steve came for a parish visit, but Bishop-Elect Thomas came too! It was a fun and joyous occasion with over 80 parishioners present for Eucharist and coffee hour to follow. The morning wrapped up with a meeting with the Vestry.

A new tradition has been started – brunch after the 10:15 Easter service. This year 38 people enjoyed the delicious array of potluck salads, vegetables, other side dishes to accompany a baked ham and roasted leg of lamb! Desserts were there too! The tables were beautifully decorated with pastel tablecloths and centre pieces of eggs and bunnies! Many thanks to Nancy, Kristin, Joan and Elaine for pulling it together!

Our Maundy Thursday service: shared meal, readings from scripture, prayer, eucharist, and the stripping of the altar. “A new command I give to you: that you also love one another” John 13:34

Please join us for a potluck supper of Irish specialties on Saturday, March 16 at 6 p.m. and don’t forget to wear a touch of green!

It was a beautiful Maine winter day, bright sunshine and a fresh coating of snow; indoors at St. Margaret’s it was also a new day with the Holy Spirit at work and the pews packed to welcome the Rev. John Nieman (our new Transitional Priest-in-charge) and his wife, Margaret.
