If at any moment in the service you are not sure what to do, ask any of your neighbors in the congregation they will be happy to help you. We would like to continue our relationship with you, so please fill out a visitor card (found in the pew racks and on the back tables) and drop the card in the collection plate or hand it to one of the clergy or ushers following the service. We pray that your time here is a blessing to you as your presence is a blessing to us.

3 The Second Sunday after Trinity June 14, 2015; 9:00 a.m. &11:15 a.m. Morning Prayer followed by Holy Communion Candles upon the altar will remain unlit. Prelude Theme Alexandre Guilmant ( ) THE ORDER FOR DAILY MORNING PRAYER. The Minister shall always begin the Morning Prayer by the following Sentence of Scripture. Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Phil. i. 2. Then the Minister shall say, DEARLY beloved brethren, the Scripture moveth us in sundry places, to acknowledge and confess our manifold sins and wickedness and that we would not dissemble nor cloak them before the face of Almighty God our heavenly Father; but confess them with an humble, lowly, penitent, and obedient heart; to the end that we may obtain forgiveness of the same, by his infinite goodness and mercy. And although we ought, at all times, humbly to acknowledge our sins before God; yet ought we chiefly so to do, when we assemble and meet together to render thanks for the great benefits that we have received at his hands, to set forth his most worthy praise, to hear his most holy Word, and to ask those things which are requisite and necessary, as well for the body as the soul. Wherefore I pray and beseech you, as many as are here present, to accompany me with a pure heart, and humble voice, unto the throne of the heavenly grace, saying- 2

4 A General Confession To be said by the whole Congregation, after the Minister, all kneeling. ALMIGHTY and most merciful Father; We have erred, and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against thy holy laws. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; And we have done those things which we ought not to have done; And there is no health in us. But thou. O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders. Spare thou those, O God, who confess their faults. Restore thou those who are penitent; According to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesus our Lord. And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake; That we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, To the glory of thy holy Name. Amen. The Declaration of Absolution To be made by the Minister alone, standing; the people still kneeling. ALMIGHTY God, our heavenly Father, who of his great mercy hath promised forgiveness of sins to all those who, with hearty repentance and true faith, turn unto him: Have mercy upon you; pardon and deliver you from all your sins; confirm and strengthen you in all goodness; and bring you to everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Then the Minister shall kneel, and say the Lord s Prayer; the People kneeling, and repeating it with him, both here, and wheresoever else it is used in Divine Service; the Minister first pronouncing, The Lord be with you. Answer. And with thy spirit. Minister. Let us pray. 3

5 OUR Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, As it is in heaven. Give this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. Here, all standing up, the Minister shall say, Minister Praise ye the Lord. Answer. The Lord s Name be praised. Then shall be said or sung the following Anthem; except on those days for which other Anthems are appointed; and except also, when it is used in the course of the Psalms, on the nineteenth day of the month. 4

6 Venite, exultemus Domino W. H. Walter 1. O COME, let us sing unto the LORD ; *let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation. 2. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving : *and show ourselves glad in him with psalms. 3. For the LORD is a great God : *and a great King above all gods. 4. In his hand are all the corners of the earth : *and the strength of the hills is his also. 5. The sea is his, and he made it : *and his hands pre pared the dry land. 6. O come, let us worship and fall down : *and kneel before the LORD our Maker. 7. For he is the Lord our God : *and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. 8. O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness : *let the whole earth stand in awe of him. 9. For he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth : *and with righteousness to judge the world, and the people with his truth. Glory be to the Father and to the Son, *and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, *world without end. Amen. 5

7 Then shall follow a Portion of the PSALMS, and at the end of every Psalm shall be said the Gloria Patri: Psalm 34: What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? 13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. 14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. 15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. 16 The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. 17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. 18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. 19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. 20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. 21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. 22 The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. GLORY be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning. is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen. 6

8 The Epistle And immediately after the Collect the Minister shall read the Epistle saying, The Epistle is written in the 3rd Chapter of First St. John beginning at the 13th Verse. MARVEL not, my brethren, if the world hate you. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. And the Epistle ended, he shall say, Here endeth the Epistle. 7

9 Benedictus. St. Luke i. 68 V. Novello 1. BLESSED be the Lord God of Israel : *for he hath visited and re deemed his people; 2. And hath raised up a mighty sal vation for us : *in the house of his servant David; 3. As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets : *which have been since the world began; 4. That we should be saved from our enemies : *and from the hand of all that hate us. 5. To perform the mercy promised to our forefathers : *and to remember his holy covenant; 6. To perform the oath which he sware to our forefather Abraham : * that he would give us; 7. That we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies : *might serve him without fear; 8. In holiness and righteous ness before him : *all the days of our life. 9. And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest : *for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to pre pare his ways; 8

10 10. To give knowledge of salvation unto his people : *for the re mission of their sins, 11. Through the tender mercy of our God : *whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us. 12. To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death, *and to guide our feet into the way of peace. Glory be to the Father and to the Son, *and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, *world without end. Amen. Nicene Creed I BELIEVE in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God; Begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of very God; Begotten, not made; Being of one substance with the Father; By whom all things were made: Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, And was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, And was made man: And was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried: And the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures: And ascended into heaven, 9

11 And sitteth on the right hand of the Father: And he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the quick and the dead: Whose kingdom shall have no end. And I believe in the Holy Ghost, The Lord, and Giver of Life, Who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; Who spake by the Prophets: And I believe one Catholic and Apostolic Church: I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins: And I look for the Resurrection of the dead: And the Life of the world to come. Amen. And after that, these Prayers following, all devoutly kneeling; the Minister first pronouncing, Minister Answer Minister Answer Minister Answer The Lord be with you. And with thy spirit. Let us pray. O Lord, show thy mercy upon us. And grant us thy salvation. And take not thy Holy Spirit from us. O God, make clean our hearts within us. A Collect for Peace O GOD, who art the author of peace and lover of concord, in knowledge of whom standeth our eternal life, whose service is perfect freedom; Defend us thy humble servants in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in thy defence, may not fear the power of any adversaries, through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. A Prayer of St. Chrysostom ALMIGHTY God, who hast given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplications unto thee; and dost promise that when two or three are gathered together in thy Name thou wilt grant their requests; Fulfil now, O Lord, the desires and petitions of thy servants, as may be most expedient for them; granting us in this world knowledge of thy truth. and in the world to come life everlasting. Amen. 10

12 2 Cor. xiii. 14. THE grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. Amen. Here endeth the Order of Morning Prayer. THE ORDER FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE LORD S SUPPER, OR HOLY COMMUNION. The Collect ALMIGHTY God, unto whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid; Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love thee, and worthily magnify thy holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen. The Decalogue may be omitted, provided it be said once on each Sunday. But Note, That whenever it is omitted the Minister shall say the Summary of the Law, beginning, Hear what our Lord Jesus Christ saith. THOU shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets. If the Decalogue hath been omitted, continuing Lord, have mercy upon us. Christ, have mercy upon us. Lord, have mercy upon us. Then the Minister may say, Let us pray. O ALMIGHTY Lord, and everlasting God, vouchsafe, we beseech thee, to direct, sanctify, and govern, both our hearts and bodies, in the ways of thy laws, and in the works of thy commandments; that, through thy most mighty protection, both here and ever, we may be preserved in body and soul; through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen. 11

13 Then shall be said the Collect of the Day O LORD, who never failest to help and govern those whom thou dost bring up in thy stedfast fear and love; Keep us, we beseech thee, under the protection of thy good providence, and make us to have a perpetual fear and love of thy holy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Hymn We plough the fields and scatter Wir Pflugen 12

14 The Gospel Then, the People all standing up, he shall read the GOSPEL, saying, The Holy Gospel is written in the 14th Chapter of St. Luke, beginning at the 16th Verse. A CERTAIN man made a great supper, and bade many: and sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. 13

15 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. For I say unto you that none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper. Here shall be said or sung, Glory be to thee, O Lord. Then the Minister shall declare unto the People what Holy-day, or Fasting-days, are in the week following to be observed; and (if occasion be) shall Notice be given of the Communion. and of the Banns of Matrimony, and other matters to be published. Announcements/Welcome Then shall follow the Sermon. Sermon The Rev. Sarah Lamming The Minister shall return to the Lord s Table, and begin the Offertory, saying REMEMBER the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. Acts xx. 35. The Deacons, Church-wardens, or other fit persons appointed for that purpose shall receive the Alms for the Poor, and other Devotions of the People, in a decent Basin to be provided by the Parish for that purpose, and reverently bring it to the Priest, who shall humbly present and place it upon the Holy Table. And the Priest shall then place upon the Table so much Bread and Wine as he shall think sufficient. And when the Alms and Oblations are presented, there may be sung a Hymn, or an Offertory Anthem in the words of Holy Scripture or of the Book of Common Prayer, under the direction the Minister. 14

16 Offertory Anthem Nunc Dimmitis John Stainer Lord now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace, according to Thy word. For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which Thou hast prepared before the face of all people; to be a light to lighten the Gentiles and to be the glory of Thy people Israel. Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be; world without end. Amen. Prayers of the People Then shall the Priest say, Let us pray for the whole state of Christ s Church militant. ALMIGHTY and everliving God, who by thy holy Apostle hast taught us to make prayers, and supplications, and to give thanks for all men.; We humbly beseech thee most mercifully to accept our alms and oblations, and to receive these our prayers, which we offer unto thy Divine Majesty; beseeching thee to inspire continually the Universal Church with the spirit of truth, unity, and concord: And grant that all those who do confess thy holy Name may agree in the truth of thy holy Word, and live in unity, and godly love. We beseech thee also, so to direct and dispose the hearts of all Christian Rulers, that they may truly and impartially administer justice, to the punishment of wickedness and vice, and to the maintenance of thy true religion, and virtue. Give grace, O heavenly Father, to all Bishops and other Ministers, that they may, both by their life and doctrine set forth thy true and lively Word, and rightly and duly administer thy holy Sacraments. And to all thy people give thy heavenly grace; and especially to this congregation here present; that, with meek heart and due reverence, they may hear, and receive thy holy Word; truly serving thee in holiness and righteous-ness all the days of their life. And we most humbly beseech thee, of thy goodness, O Lord, to comfort and succour all those who, in this transitory life, are in trouble, sorrow, need, sickness, or any other adversity. 15

17 And we also bless thy holy Name for all thy servants departed this life in thy faith and fear; beseeching thee to give us grace so to follow their good examples, that with them we may be partakers of thy heavenly kingdom. Grant this, O Father, for Jesus Christ s sake, our only Mediator and Advocate. Amen. Then shall the Priest say, Hear what comfortable words our Saviour Christ saith unto all who truly turn to him. COME unto me, all ye that travail and are heavy laden, and I will refresh you. Hear also what Saint Paul saith. This is a true saying, and worthy of all men to be received, That Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Hear also what Saint John saith. If any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and he is the Propitiation for our sins. After which the Priest shall proceed, saying, Lift up your hearts. Answer. We lift them up unto the Lord. Priest. Let us give thanks unto our Lord God. Answer It is meet and right so to do. Then shall the Priest turn to the Lord s Table, and say, IT is very meet, right, and our bounden duty, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto thee, O Lord, Holy Father, Almighty, Everlasting God. For the precious death and merits of thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, and for the sending to us of the Holy Ghost, the Comforter; who are one with thee in thy Eternal Godhead. Therefore with Angels and Archangels, and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify thy glorious Name; evermore praising thee, and saying, 16

18 Sanctus Merbecke Then shall the Priest, kneeling down at the Lord s Table, say, in the name of all those who shall receive the Communion, this Prayer following. WE do not presume to come to this Thy Table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in thy manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under Thy Table. But Thou art the same Lord, Whose property is always to have mercy: Grant us therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of Thy dear Son us Christ, and to drink His blood, that our sinful bodies may be made clean by His body, and our souls washed through His most precious blood, and that we may evermore dwell in Him, and He in us. Amen. Then the Priest standing before the Table, hath so ordered the Bread and Wine, that he may with the more readiness and decency break the Bread before the People, and take the cup into his hands, he shall say the Prayer of Consecration, as followeth. ALL glory be to Thee Almighty God, our heavenly Father, for that Thou, of Thy tender mercy, didst give Thine only Son Jesus Christ to suffer death upon the Cross for our redemption; Who made there by his one oblation of Himself once offered a full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice, oblation, and satisfaction, for the sins of the whole world; and did institute, and in His holy Gospel command us to continue, a perpetual memory of that His precious 17

19 death and sacrifice, until His coming again: For in the night in which He was betrayed, He took Bread, and when He had given thanks He brake it, and gave it to His disciples, saying, Take, eat, this is my Body, which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me. Likewise after supper, He took the Cup; and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of this; for this is my blood of the New Testament which is shed for you and for many, for the remission of sins; do this as oft as ye shall drink it, in remembrance of Me. WHEREFORE, O Lord and heavenly Father according to the institution of thy dearly beloved Son our Saviour Jesus Christ, we, thy humble servants, do celebrate and make here before thy Divine Majesty, with these thy holy gifts, which we now offer unto thee, the memorial thy Son hath commanded us to make; having in remembrance his blessed passion and precious death, his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension; rendering unto thee most hearty thanks for the innumerable benefits procured unto us by the same. AND we most humbly beseech thee, O merciful Father, to hear us; and, of thy almighty goodness, vouchsafe to bless and sanctify, with thy Word and Holy Spirit, these thy gifts and creatures of bread and wine; that we, receiving them according to thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ s holy institution, in remembrance of his death and passion, may be partakers of his most blessed Body and Blood. AND we earnestly desire thy fatherly goodness, mercifully to accept this our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving; most humbly beseeching thee to grant, that by the merits and death of thy Son Jesus Christ, and through faith in his blood, we, and all thy whole Church, may obtain remission of our sins, and all other benefits of his passion. And here we offer and present unto thee, O Lord, ourselves, our souls and bodies, to be a reasonable, holy, and living sacrifice unto thee; humbly beseeching thee, that we, and all others who shall be partakers of this Holy Communion, may worthily receive the most precious Body and Blood of thy Son Jesus Christ, be filled with thy grace and heavenly benediction, 18

20 and made one body with him, that he may dwell in them, and they in him. And although we are unworthy, through our manifold sins, to offer unto thee any sacrifice; yet we beseech thee to accept this our bounden duty and service; not weighing our merits, but pardoning our offences, through Jesus Christ our Lord; by whom, and with whom, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, all honour and glory be unto thee, O Father Almighty, world without end. Amen. Fraction Anthem Merbecke Then shall the Priest first receive the Holy Communion in both kinds himself, and proceed to deliver the same to Bishops, Priests, and Deacons, in like manner, (if any be present) and, after that, to the People also in order, into their hands, all devoutly kneeling. 19

21 And when he delivereth the Bread, he shall say, THE Body of our Lord Jesus Christ, which was given for thee, preserve thy body and soul unto everlasting life. Take and eat this in remembrance that Christ died for thee, and feed on him in thy heart by faith, with thanksgiving. And the Minister who delivereth the Cap shall say, THE Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, which was shed for thee, preserve thy body and soul unto everlasting life. Drink this in remembrance that Christ s Blood was shed for thee, and be thankful. A member of the Healing Team can be found in the back of the church for prayers during communion. Communion Anthem God be in my head H. Walford Davies God be in my head, and in my understanding; God be in mine eyes, and in my looking; God be in my mouth, and in my speaking; God be in my heart, and in my thinking; God be at mine end, and at my departing. - Old English Prayer from Sarum Primer Communion Hymn 20

22 When all have communicated, the Minister shall return to the Lord s Table and reverently place upon it what remaineth of the consecrated Elements, covering the same with a fair linen cloth. After shall be said as followeth. ALMIGHTY and everliving God, we most heartily thank thee, for that thou dost vouchsafe to feed us who have duly received these holy mysteries, with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ; and dost assure us thereby of thy favour and goodness towards us; and that we are very members incorporate in the mystical body of thy Son, which is the blessed company of all faithful people; and are also heirs through hope of thy everlasting kingdom, by the merits of the most precious death and passion of thy dear Son. And we most humbly beseech thee, O heavenly Father, so to assist us with thy grace, that we may continue in that holy fellowship, and do all such good works as thou hast prepared for us to walk in; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen. Then shall be said or sung, all standing Gloria in excelsis; or some proper Hymn from the Selection. 21

23 Gloria Merbecke 22

24 Then the Priest shall let them depart with this blessing. THE peace of God, which passeth all understanding keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God, and of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord: And the Blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, be amongst you, and remain with you always. Amen.

25 St. Margaret s Church Leading up to its 325th anniversary June 9, 2017, St. Margaret s Church, has undertaken on one Sunday each year for the past three years to use an historic worship service adapted from a prayer book once used at St. Margaret s Church. In 2015, we are using The 1892 Episcopal Book of Common Prayer (BCP), the second BCP of the Episcopal Church in the United States. Its tenure was relatively short, replaced by a much more extensive revision in The 1892 BCP was a conservative revision: little of substance changed from its predecessor, the 1789 Episcopal BCP. In the new United States of America, The 1789 BCP replaced the Anglican (Church of England) 1662 Book of Common Prayer (still the official though seldom used prayer book of the Church of England). The 1892 BCP used Century Schoolbook font, and this version in Georgia is a fairly close match to the original and an allowed alternative. Unlike the 1789 BCP and like the 1928 and 1979 prayer books to follow, all printings of the 1892 edition were essentially identical in layout, pagination, and typography. The 1892 BCP was translated into many languages, probably more than any other edition, to serve immigrant populations including copies that still exist in German, Italian, Swedish, and Hungarian, as well as Cheyenne and Tiagra (an Alaskan Eskimo tongue). The Campaign Prayer Book, an abridgment of the 1892 BCP, included several additional prayers and was published for American Armed Forces serving in World War II. No records remain to tell us of when St. Margaret s adopted the 1892 BCP for Sunday worship, though the likely date is sometime in During the early 1890s the parish suffered through a period of disarray. More than 125 years later this story has never been written and awaits telling by the researcher, by the writer, who is willing to take on this opportunity. 24

26 The deadly 1901 fire at the residence of the parish registrar killed the brother of the registrar and destroyed nearly every parish record accumulated since the church had burned in We must rely on vestry minutes starting mid-1901, historic newspaper stories, the archives of the State of Maryland and the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland, and histories crafted in the 1930s & 1940s that were typed onto onion skin and based on memories, stories, and family records from following generations of families who lived through these times. In 1886, shortly after the death of the Rev. Samuel (Dr. Sam) Ridout, MD ( ) who served nearly 30 years as St. Margaret s rector of St. Margaret s in two terms separated by 10 years ( and ), the vestry (including eight members of the Ridout family among the nine members) approved erecting a new church as a memorial to Dr. Sam. According to the vestry resolution Our present church is inadequate and presents an unseemly appearance. It shall remain to be used as a Parish building... Soon $800 was raised by private subscriptions money that remained unspent as the vestry battled with the rector, with the (small) congregation, and with would-be members who were turned away by the registrar at the behest of the vestry over issues that included building a new church, whether new (male) members could be enrolled, legality of vestry elections for the past 40 years, and divided loyalties to the rector does he stay or does he go. One faction locked the church up tight and posted notice that any clergy not favored by this faction was to leave the property immediately. Cases would be heard before Maryland State courts and the Diocese of Maryland. On August 24, 1892, a fire apparently deliberate and reportedly though not proven set by a member or members of the vestry (kerosene, wood shavings, and tallow candle drippings were found at the scene) burned a large hole in the floor of the chancel and the chancel was scorched. This church had last been renovated following the fire in 1851 and desperately needed work. By 1895 the site was razed, plans were made, and an additional $1,200 secured bringing construction costs for a church that would not again see significant renovation until 1986 to $2,

27 The cornerstone was laid with Masonic honors by Annapolis Lodge Number 89 August 5, 1895 and dedication of the new church occurred in The 1895/1896 church is essentially the church building we know today. While changes occurred in 1929, 1948, during the 1986 Enhanced Restoration, and in years that have followed, charred timbers remain beneath the chancel timbers that could have been placed there 185 years ago. After 1896 periods of calm and periods of turmoil would follow. Calm especially during two terms the Rev. Alexander Galt served as rector and following the 1918 call of the Rev. R. Cleon Cowling as rector; Mr. Cowling would serve until the early 1940s. During the 36 years that the 1892 BCP was in use other developments were occurring and each will receive special attention over the next two years The first rectory, dating to the mid-1800s, was sold and the first rectory on the grounds was constructed The Ladies Guild was begun, taking on responsibility for making the rectory livable and seeking to take over care of the new church from the men who apparently could not keep the church clean An envelope system of giving was started to pay the rector; rectors monetary amounts ranged from $600 to $1,000 per year plus use of the rectory and grounds Burials could take place in the new churchyard on land given to the parish in 1884 after deeds were modified that had prohibited use of the land for a churchyard Stained glass windows began to be installed; first appearing in 1912 and 1917 though nearly all windows would be installed and dedicated after 1928 Plans began for the first parish building (parish hall) when the church was razed and rebuilt rather than being converted into a parish hall St. Margaret s History Archives Project Written by Michael Winn with Barbara Breeden.

The hymns for today s service and the chants are all historically appropriate to the service. The anthems, prelude and postlude are all historically appropriate to the period, but performance of the accompaniments and solos on the pump organ may have needed to be altered to accommodate the instrument at that time. 28
