You Are Welcome At Saint Aidan's Episcopal Church!
We are a loving community of followers of Jesus who worship joy-fully in the Episcopal tradition, support each other in prayer and fellowship, and serve the community through our outreach minis-tries. 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 out-reach ministries, we know that you’ll find a home here at St. Aidan’s!!!
The Lord Is My Strength And My Song!

Our readings for the Second Sunday of Easter are: Acts 5:27-32; Psalm 118:14-29; Revelation 1:4-8; John 20:19-31

The Resurrected Jesus Gives The Disciples Their Marching Orders

In the Gospel reading, the resurrected Jesus appears to the disciples and offers tangible proof of his identity to his disciple Thomas. Most Christians know about “Doubting Thomas,” but there is an even more challenging aspect to the Gospel lesson, one which has generated controversy and schism. We will look at this subject in the sermon on Sunday, May 5.
Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." John 20:21

Jesus offers two messages to his followers: be at peace, and get to work. As stewards, our work is to build up the kingdom Jesus preached, the kingdom of justice, love and peace.

New Parish Directory!
We are in the process of putting together a new picture Parish Directory, and this time you get to choose the photograph of yourself you would like included in the directory. Please email those photos to the church at staidansolathe@sbcglobal.net by Thursday, August 1. There is no truth to the rumor that if you do not submit a photo, a group of high school boys will scour the internet looking for silly pictures to use as your personal photo (check out this darling). Well, there might be some truth to the rumor, so please submit those photos for our new directory! Blessings.
