What is the St. Margaret’s Women’s Guild?
Formed in 1919 by Elizabeth Cowling, the St. Margaret's Women’s Guild is a parish organization primarily for women that aims to promote opportunities for friendship, spiritual growth, and service.
The Women's Guild is open to all members of the Episcopal Church or our parish. We meet monthly during the school year at noon on the first Wednesday of the month in the Formation Building. Pack a lunch; drinks and dessert will be provided. Our fascinating speakers provide enlightenment on a variety of subjects.
