Please stay after worship so we can say hello. Whether it is through participating in the worship on Sunday morning, or through serving as the hands and feet of Jesus to the world by our outreach ministries, we know that you’ll find a home here at St Aidan’s!!!

I Am God, Your God!

Our readings for Sunday, August 11, are: Isaiah 1:1, 10-20; Psalm 50:1-8, 23-24; Hebrews 11:1-3, 8-16; Luke 12:32-40.

"Make purses for yourselves that do not wear out, an unfailing

treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Luke 12:33-34

Jesus was able to capture a profound truth in just a few words…“where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” A good steward will often ask, “Where is my heart? What is my treasure?”
