CHRIST THE KING Sunday - Last Sunday after Pentecost
November 26, 2017
Christ the King!
Traditionally the Church celebrates Christ the King Sunday on the Sunday before the Season of Advent begins. Jesus is proclaimed in Scripture as Priest, Prophet, and King. Priest and Prophet we can understand, but King? Join us this Sunday as we look at the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats from the Gospel of Matthew and discover how understanding Jesus as King can liberate us to serve others. 

Click here for Lectionary Readings for Sunday, 11-26-17.

"Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are member of my family, you did it to me."
Matthew 25:40
Jesus’ magnificent vision of the last judgment reminds us that Christ is present in everyone. This is easy to remember in the abstract but not so much in the particular. Rather than turn away from “the least,” let’s remember that what we do to them, we do to Christ.
Daughters of the King: Installation of Chaplain, Deacon Bianca Elliott November 26
This Sunday during the morning worship service, Deacon Bianca Elliott will be installed as Chaplain of the Daughters of the King, St. Bridget's Chapter.
Church Basement Ladies Cookie Exchange December 2!
The Church Basement Ladies will gather at the church on Saturday, December 2, at 10 am for the annual Church Basement Ladies Cookie Exchange.

Here is how it works... Bring 3 dozen of your favorite cookie ... 1 Dozen will stay at the Church for Sunday's social hour. Then, you select 2 dozen of the other cookies there, so you leave with 2 dozen of a wide variety of cookies instead of all the same. You are welcome to bring more than 1 type of cookie, just be sure to bring 3 dozen of each. You will leave with as many cookies as you bring (less the 1 dozen that goes to the Church.) Contact Dave Scott (913 226-7867) for more details. 
Canon Torey Lightcap Visits December 3!
Next Sunday December 3, our guest celebrant will be the Rev. Torey Lightcap, the Canon to the Ordinary in the Diocese of Kansas. Be sure to welcome Canon Lightcap to St. Aidan’s.
All Parish Budget Forum December 3!
There will be an All-Parish Budget Forum in Sifers Hall following worship next Sunday facilitated by the Finance Committee to discuss the proposed 2018 parish budget.
Angel Tree Gifts
Angel Tree is a ministry to the children of an incarcerated parent through which the parish contacts the children's caretaker and then obtains gifts for the child in the name of their absent parent. The Angel Tree decorated with angels with the names of those children appeared in the garden in the nave on Sunday, November 12, and we have already received some packages! Thank you and God bless you for your support of this important ministry. See Marcia Streepy (913 660-5646) for more information.

Evening Prayer on Wednesday during Advent
Looking for a way to avoid the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season? Longing for an opportunity to rest and recuperate in the knowledge and love of the Lord? Join us during the Season of Advent for Evening Prayer on Wednesdays at 5:30 pm in Sifers Hall after BackSnack packing at 5 pm. 
St. Aidan's Choir
We now are being blessed by our choir, led by Claire Binek. Add your voice to the Choir! Rehearsal is in the nave on Wednesdays at 5:30 pm (conveniently right after BackSnack packing). You can contact Claire at 215-307-5253 or write to clairebinek@gmail.com
DOORWAYS OF CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
Adult Forum On Sunday 11/29/17 we are discussing the Gospel of Mark.

During the Season of Advent (starting 12/3/17) we are taking a hiatus from our discussion of the Gospel of Mark to discuss Five Questions of Christmas: Unlocking the Mystery by Rob Burkhart.

We are meeting in Sifers Hall at 9 am. Please grab a cup of delicious coffee and join us for our new Adult Forum program. We will wrap up our Adult Forum by 9:35 am so we can all prepare for worship.

Also - if you would like to receive a weekly email in advance of the Adult Forum including the passage we will be discussing and some comments about it, please contact Father Shawn Streepy.

Thank you and God bless you!!
