[January 13, 2010] Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori has issued the following concerning the January 12 earthquake in Haiti: The people of Haiti have suffered a devastating earthquake, and it is already clear that many have died and many more are injured. Even under "normal" circumstances, Haiti struggles to care for her 9 million people. The nation is the poorest in the western hemisphere, and this latest disaster will set back many recent efforts at development. I urge your prayers for those who have died, been injured, and are searching for loved ones - and I urge your concrete and immediate prayers in the form of contributions to Episcopal Relief & Development, who are already working with the Diocese of Haiti to send aid where it is most needed.
We welcome everyone to worship with us at any time: spiritual seekers, those with questions and doubts, those firmly grounded in their faith.
We welcome one-time visitors, those in Little Rock for extended medical treatments, those looking for a church home.
Please let us know you are here; we would love to greet you. Stop by The Welcome Center, located on the top level by the parking lot.
If you wish to become a member of our parish, you may do so by transferring in, being received, or by being baptized. The Clergy can help identify which step is right for you. And if you are not yet ready to become a member, we invite you to please continue worshiping with us.

St. Margaret's Church - Who We Are
We are men and women, young and older, life-long Episcopalians
and newcomers to this Church. Some of us have come from other faith
traditions. Some of us are still members of other churches but all are
worshiping here as we seek to discern where God wants us to be.
We
are a community of people seeking to be faithful to our baptismal
promise to continue in the Apostle's teaching and fellowship, in the
breaking of bread, and in the prayers. We also take to heart our
baptismal obligation to seek and serve Christ in all people and respect
the dignity of every human being.

St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church is a part of the Episcopal Diocese of Arkansas and the Episcopal Church in the USA.
Episcopalians are also known as Anglicans because we are a part of the Anglican Communion - a fellowship of churches with over 70 million people throughout the world, including Africa and the Middle East, as well as North and South America, Europe and Australia. The Archbishop of Canterbury in England is the spiritual leader and symbol of unity for the Anglican Communion.
Welcome to St. Margaret's Episcopal Church, a parish church of the Episcopal Diocese of Arkansas.
As Queen of Scotland, Margaret was generous to the poor, led a life of extraordinary piety, and brought much needed reform to the church.
