You Are Welcome At Saint Aidan's Episcopal Church!

We are a loving community of followers of Jesus who worship joyfully in the Episcopal tradition, support each other in prayer and fellowship, and serve the community through our outreach ministries. 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!!!

God will wipe away every tear!!

Our readings for Sunday, May 12 are: Acts 9:36-43; Psalm 23; Revelation 7:9-17; John 10:22-30.

Good Shepherd Sunday, May 12

On Sunday, May 12, we continue our Sermon Series for the Easter Season about the "Dreaded ‘E’ Word,” a word so frightening that it is never even whispered inside most churches.

The sermon will be about the beloved 23^rd Psalm, which assures us that wherever we go and whatever happens, God is there.

Jesus said "My sheep hear my voice I know them, and they follow me." John 10:27

Listening to the voice of Jesus in Scripture, worship, prayer and action is key to the spiritual life of a steward.

May 12 is Mother's Day

Happy Mother’s Day to all the women of the parish and to the women who have enriched and blessed our lives. God bless you.

Thanks to Our Guest Musicians May 12

On Sunday, May 12, we are blessed to have guest musicians under the direction of Dr. Mark Pretzel. Please tell them your appreciation for their music.

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 that 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.
