Calling All Collect Writers

Training class Thursday, October 3, 6:30 p.m., via Zoom. On the First Sunday of Advent, December 1, St. Margaret’s, will begin Year C of A Woman’s Lectionary for the Whole Church by Wilda Gafney. Over the past two years, a group of parishioners has written collects for each Sunday of years A and B of the new lectionary. If you were one of them, we’d love to have you on our team to write the final round of collects for Year C. If you’re new to collect writing, now’s your chance to take part. A collect (pronounced KOL-ekt) is a short, structured prayer at the beginning of our worship service. Email our seminarian Jen Mariano or the Rev. Diana for more information.

Pastoral Care

If you or a loved one are in need of prayer or assistance, our clergy would love to provide pastoral care. Those who are sick, in the hospital, recovering from surgery, grieving, or dealing with an unexpected crisis or challenge may be visited by clergy or by trained members of the parish. Sometimes telephone calls or virtual meetings are preferred. Please let us know by calling the Parish Office at 202-232-2995 or by emailing the Rector, the Rev. Richard Weinberg, or the Associate Rector, the Rev. Diana Gustafson to request a visit, meeting, or phone call. Some parish volunteers are also licensed to take Communion to parishioners who are in the hospital or are homebound. Arrangements can be made by contacting clergy directly or through the church office.
