Eleventh Sunday after Trinity, August 20th, 2023

St. Paul begins the Fifteenth Chapter of his First Epistle to the Corinthians as follows:  "I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand" (I Corinthians 15:1)  Where do we stand?  Do we always stand for God?  Sometimes?  Rarely?   I hear a lot of folks these days speaking about standing up for this belief or standing up for that belief.  I hear a whole lot of folks speaking about standing up for rights.  I hear a whole lot of folks talking about standing up against hatred and taking a stand for freedom.  We hear about a whole bunch of folks these days standing up and taking stands but how often do you hear people saying that they're standing up for God?  That they're standing up for the Gospel?  Each one of us is called as Christians to do what God has called us to do.  He is our Rock and our Foundation upon which we stand firm.  So many people nowadays seem to stand up for whatever the passing fad happens to be.  But we Christians are called to stand firm in our faith.  And in order to do this it takes a long time.  In fact it takes a lifetime of practice.  We people of faith need to stand firm in our beliefs and stand firm in God. 

St. Margaret Church worships every Sunday morning at 10:30 AM at the Chapel at Marquette Manor, which is located at 8140 N. Township Line Road on the Northwest side of Indianapolis.

NOTE:  Keep in mind that we must enter in the main entrance of the lobby and sign in before we go to the chapel.  

Please Join us as we gather together as God's family to:  hear the Word of God; listen as God speaks to each one of us in our hearts; worship God in song and in word; listen to the King James Bible and the 1928 Book of Common Prayer; and, finally, receive Our Blessed Lord in Holy Communion so that we can be nourished for the journey we call life.  Take one hour out of your busy schedule to worship God, to honour God, to acknowledge the need for God in your life.
