SUMMARY:The Spirituality of Breadmaking: Life is What You Bake It
DESCRIPTION:Second Thursday Women Gather in Community  \nLed by Mary Erickson\, Seminarian \nJoin us for an enriching day where the ancient art of breadmaking becomes a pathway to spiritual practice and biblical reflection. In this hands-on workshop\, participants will bake traditional bread rolls while taking a spiritual journey of discovery of the sacred in the ordinary\, reflecting on scripture\, life\, faith and transformation. \nNo baking experience is necessary—just an open heart and a willingness to slow down\, reflect\, and savor the process. Each participant will take home fresh bread\, a deeper appreciation for the spiritual rhythms found in life’s simplest acts and a renewed perspective on the spiritual significance of our daily bread. Please bring your own apron. \nRegister HERE.

SUMMARY:Compline: Hope Is the Work of a Faithful People
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, January 28\, 2026\nLocation: Facebook Live\, Instagram LIVE\, & You Tube\nTime: 7 p.m. \nIn a world marked by violence\, fear\, and the pain of deportations and ICE raids\, we need sacred space to pray and to ground ourselves in hope. \nThe ancient contemplative prayer of Compline offers exactly that: a chance to pause and to find strength for the work of love that lies ahead. \nTo reiterate Bishop Duckworth’s words from her recent statement: \nHope\, for Christians\, is not passive. Hope is a discipline. Hope is choosing\, again and again\, to live as children of the light\, refusing to let fear\, despair\, or hatred have the final word. Hope is finding our voice and speaking for others. Hope is finding the way of peace. \nPeace is not a commodity; it is our foundation. It is the bond that holds us together—not through uniformity\, not through exclusion\, not through despair\, but through faith\, hope\, and love. \nThis is why we pray. This is why we gather—even when we’re scattered across a diocese.\n\nBishop Shannon Duckworth will officiate Wednesday’s Compline and we are deeply honored to be joined by The Rev. Antonio Gallardo\, Bishop-elect of the Diocese of Los Angeles. \nSimply go to Facebook\, Instagram\, or our YouTube on Wednesday\, January 28 at 7 p.m. and the service will be streaming live. A recording will be available at a later date. \n\nLet us renew ourselves together so we can continue doing what we are called to do. \nLive Stream Links: \nFacebook\nInstagram\nYouTube\n  \nThe Rev. Antonio Gallardo\nBishop-elect of the Diocese of Los Angeles \nThe Rev. Antonio Gallardo is the rector of St. Luke’s / San Lucas\, Long Beach\, since 2023. Gallardo is the first Latino to be elected bishop in the Diocese of Los Angeles. \nHe was previously vicar of St. Luke’s of the Mountains\, La Crescenta\, and served on the clergy staff of All Saints\, Pasadena. Ordained to the priesthood in 2019 in the Diocese of Los Angeles\, he holds a doctorate in business and economics from Lehigh University\, as well as degrees from Venezuela’s Universidad Experimental Politécnica and Universidad Centro Occidental Lisandro Alvarado\, Claremont School of Theology and Bloy House Episcopal Theological School. \n \n

SUMMARY:Las Posadas / Miércoles Advent Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, December 17 at 6:30 PM\nbeginning in the church  \nLas Posadas\, Spanish for “the inns\,” is an Advent celebration of hospitality in Mexico and some parts of Central and South America. The Posadas symbolize Mary and Joseph’s long\, frustrating search for a place to stay where Jesus could be born. \nSt Margaret’s La Mesa Ministry will be bringing a touch of drama\, playfulness\, and Latino culture to our Advent traditions by observing the liturgy of Las Posadas\, which depicts Joseph and Mary’s long-suffering search for shelter on Wednesday\, December 17 at 6:30 pm. \nLas Posadas involves a flexible program of prayers\, processions\, and singing as characters dressed as Joseph and Mary are turned away again and again. Finally\, they are welcomed into a humble refuge\, followed by a fiesta of sharing traditional foods and smashing a seven-pointed piñata representing the deadly sins. \nAdvent provides many opportunities to welcome the stranger and offer genuine hospitality in our homes and our churches. As you wait for the birth of Jesus\, practice the same hospitality toward the visitor or outsider that you would offer Mary and Joseph. \nDo not neglect to show hospitality to strangers\, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it. ~ Hebrews 13:2 \n  \n  \nMiércoles\, 17 de diciembre a las 6:30 p.m.\nComenzando en la iglesia \n  \nLas Posadas\, palabra española que significa “las posadas” o “los albergues\,” es una celebración de Adviento sobre la hospitalidad\, muy común en México y en algunas partes de Centro y Sudamérica. Las Posadas simbolizan la larga y frustrante búsqueda de María y José por un lugar donde Jesús pudiera nacer. \nEl Ministerio La Mesa de St. Margaret’s traerá un toque de drama\, alegría y cultura latina a nuestras tradiciones de Adviento al celebrar la liturgia de Las Posadas el miércoles 17 de diciembre a las 6:30 p.m.\, representando la perseverante búsqueda de refugio por parte de José y María. \nLas Posadas incluyen un programa flexible de oraciones\, procesiones y cantos\, en el que los personajes vestidos como José y María son rechazados una y otra vez. Finalmente\, son recibidos en un refugio humilde\, seguido por una fiesta donde se comparten comidas tradicionales y se rompe una piñata de siete puntas\, que representa los pecados capitales. \nEl Adviento nos ofrece muchas oportunidades para acoger al forastero y ofrecer hospitalidad sincera en nuestros hogares y en nuestras iglesias. Mientras esperas el nacimiento de Jesús\, practica la misma hospitalidad hacia el visitante o el extraño que ofrecerías a María y José. \n“No se olviden de practicar la hospitalidad\, porque por ella algunos\, sin saberlo\, hospedaron ángeles.”\n~ Hebrews 13:2
