SUMMARY:Ashes-to-go
DESCRIPTION:Please join Reverends Diana\, Julie\, and Francisco in offering Ashes-to-Go to passersby on February 22\, 8:00 am and 5:00 pm before services. All laypeople are invited to ‘impose’ (make the sign of the cross on the recipient).  \nIn the morning we plan to walk down to Dupont Circle if there are enough of us. In the evening\, we will join Francisco in his service of coffee to the homeless on Connecticut Ave and offer ashes at the Circle.  \nWhy “Ashes to Go”? \nAshes are an ancient sign of penitence. From the Middle Ages it became the custom to begin Lent by being marked in ash with the sign of the cross. The reminder that we are dust turns our attention to the creative power of God\, and God’s ability to heal the brokenness in our lives when we offer that brokenness to God. That turning to God is the work of Lent\, preparation for the celebration of Easter. \nWe’re offering ashes on the street because that reminder of need\, humility\, and healing shouldn’t be confined to a church building. We probably need it more when we are in the middle of our daily business!  \nProcedures \nGiving ashes is a sacred act that is accessible to everyone. Each participant will be given some ashes blessed by one of our priests\, a container of oil\, and some cotton pads. You press your thumb and oiled cotton pad into the ashes and make a cross on the recipient as you say “remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.” The cotton pad and a mask are our precautions against COVID and the flu. It’s very simple and beautiful. If you like\, you may offer to say a prayer with the person as well. \nEmail Diana (Diana@stmargaretsdc.org) to sign up.

SUMMARY:What Is a Spiritual - Yesterday and Today?
DESCRIPTION:Forum February 26\, 12 pm will be offered in the nave and online. The Zoom link is a continuation of the Eucharistic service and provided here for ease of access. \nCome to a special talk on the role of the Spiritual in slave life and in our worship today. Negro Spirituals are a sacred voice within American spiritual\, music\, and moral history. They are songs of hope and freedom born of the suffering of enslavement and the hope of God’s deliverance. Their use by a heavily White church also raises questions of appropriation and reparation for many people. \nWe will learn about Spirituals and discuss why it is important that we understand them as American songs for all people. There will be time for Q &A. Read more about Dr. Guenther and her work here. \nDr. Eileen Guenther is Professor of Church Music at Wesley Theological Seminary\, where she teaches music and worship courses and serves as Director of Chapel Music. She is the author of In Their Own Words: Slave Life and the Power of Spirituals.  Read reviews of Dr. Guenther’s ground-breaking work here and here. Email Rev. Diana Gustafson with questions. \nZoom Link \nZoom Meeting ID: 935 9524 6192 \nPasscode: 596538

SUMMARY:Advent Retreat
DESCRIPTION:As we prepare for the upcoming Christmas season\, the Holy Spirit reminds us to include time and space in that preparation for spiritual reflection and discovery\, both alone and in community. To that end\, St. Margaret’s will again this year hold an in-person Advent retreat\, “The Darkness that Leads to Life: Advent as a Gateway for Spiritual Growth.” The retreat will take place at the home of Linda Heaney\, 3272 Aberfoyle Place NW\, in Washington DC\, on Friday evening\, December 8\, and Saturday morning and afternoon\, December 9. The cost is $50\, to cover three meals and snacks\, as well as materials. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. There will be time for socializing\, sharing meals\, facilitator-led activities\, small group discussions\, personal reflection\, worship and prayer.  Since there is limited capacity and we need to have an advance sense of how many will participate for logistical purposes\, you are asked to register your intention to participate in the retreat at this link by no later than Friday\, December 1.  For further information\, please email the Rev. Diana Gustafson  or Ron Lorentzen.

SUMMARY:A Christian Response to Political Polarization
DESCRIPTION:This two-hour learning activity is for Christians who are concerned about the increasingly angry and hostile political climate they see around them and who would like guidance on how to respond. During the workshop\, we will discuss how Biblical teachings are relevant to toxic political polarization and explore ways to apply those teachings to a variety of situations.  Overall\, the emphasis of our time together is on elevating our faith above politics so that we approach the problem of polarization as Christians and not as supporters of a particular political perspective. The workshop is sponsored by Braver Angels\, a non-partisan national organization focused on helping to bridge the political divide in our country. More information about Braver Angels can be found here. Email the Rev. Diana Gustafson with questions. Please click here to register and make a $15.00 payment toward lunch. (Use drop-down >>> Special Purpose).

SUMMARY:Black History Month Forum
DESCRIPTION:Addicted to the Woe: Reimagining the Black Experience through Personal Narrative and Readings to Counteract the Tropes on Being Black in America\n\nThe assumptions and stereotypes of being Black in America are often ones of crime\, poverty\, violence\, and failure to achieve. The results of these inaccurate beliefs about Blacks in America may either reinforce bigotry or justify unintentional but self-serving charity\, pity\, and a “savior complex” from the majority culture in the country. Join parishioner Gene Batiste as he discusses an often unused counter narrative focused on the growth\, joys\, and struggles of just one Black man growing up differently that counters these images. Through personal narrative\, poetry and prose\, and audience participation\, Gene\, a life-long educator\, draws us into the tension between one strong upper middle class Black family narrative focused on awakenings\, joy\, and self-actualization vs. the injurious forces of internalized racism\, shame\, and racist tropes that are pervasive in the U.S. For more information email the Rev. Diana Gustafson or Gene Batiste.

SUMMARY:Embracing Lament: Six-Week Lenten Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday Evenings\, February 21\, 28\, March 6\, 13\, 20\, 27 6:30 to 8:00 \nShare a meal of soup and bread before joining a discussion of ancient and\npersonal lament\, led by the Rev. Dr. Robert Phillips\, Canon for Leadership Development\nand Congressional Care in the Diocese of Washington. \nSacred texts tell us that in times of crisis the ancient Israelites used images\,\nsymbols\, and metaphors to express the pain of their trauma. The Book of Psalms in\nHebrew Scripture encompasses the vast range of emotions experienced by a people\nwho had a relationship with God that was sometimes strong and resilient\, but often\nfragile and tenuous. In fragile and tenuous times\, they embraced lament psalms as a\nsacred poetry with which they could complain to God in faith. When we lament the\nprofound losses in our lives\, we can avoid tendencies of denial that distort our\nunderstanding and corrupt our ability to move toward healing and wholeness. \nDuring this Lenten season\, we will embark on a journey toward the development\nof our own personal lament psalms using symbols\, metaphors\, and images to facilitate\nan honest spiritual dialogue. By writing our own lament\, we build a bridge from the\npainful grief of personal brokenness to a space imbued with grace for personal healing\nand growth. \nThe series will conclude with at Service of Lament on March 27. \nSign up here for one or all of the sessions and to bring soup or bread or join the discussion via Zoom at 7:00 p.m. \nZoom Link \nMeeting ID: 894 7798 8351 \nPasscode: 928572 \nEmail the Rev. Diana V. Gustafson for more information.
