'LIFE MATTERS' SUPPORT GROUP STARTS SOON
This new group will meet to share life’s stories, trials, challenges and joys. We'll support and help each other face all that life brings in a safe environment.
COMING SOON – LIFE MATTERS
Life is full of change. It could be change that we want and work towards, or it could be change that is thrust upon us by the challenges of life. Change is an ongoing fact of life, and sometimes the change that life brings is not easy.
Sometimes change comes fast and sometimes, slowly. Sometimes we expect it, but sometimes it catches us by surprise. In all of this, life matters. The ways we respond and the ways we move through the changes of life are important.
LIFE MATTERS is a new ministry of St. Margaret’s. We are a group that will meet to share life’s stories, trials, challenges, and joys. We are supporting and helping each other to face all that life brings, journeying together, because – LIFE MATTERS! Fall dates and times will soon be announced.

MORE ABOUT LIFE MATTERS
Our new Life Matters group begins this month. The group is an informal gathering intended to provide a safe forum for people to share their stories of loss of any kind, and the challenges that life brings our way as we travel along our own “yellow brick roads.”
Imagine the weight of Dorothy’s journey were it not for the supportive presence of her three attentive companions. Community is a deep blessing not often fully experienced. This ministry is envisioned as an opportunity to tap into the special strength of St. Margaret’s community of friends in support of one another with recognition that we all are broken and in need of such support.
We will announce initial dates and times both verbally and by bulletin insert at Sunday Eucharist in September. In the meantime, please feel free to reach out to Mother Jennifer, Deacon Anthony or me if you have any questions.
Peace, blessings and perfect joy,
~ Br. Anton Armbruster, TSSF
