St. Aidan's Weekly Newsletter
The mission of St. Aidan's is to make disciples by proclaiming Christ as Lord and making a difference in our community.

Have a great Thanksgiving, everyone! Enjoy the Holidays with friends and family.
Thanksgiving Prayer
Almighty and gracious Father, we give you thanks for the fruits of the earth in their season and for the labors of those who harvest them. Make us, we pray, faithful stewards of your great bounty, for the provision of our necessities and the relief of all who are in need, to the glory of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Sunday Worship at St. Aidan's ...
9 am: Adult Forum

All Are Welcome At Saint Aidan's Episcopal Church!
We are a loving community of followers of Jesus who worship joyfully in the Episcopal tradition, 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 our outreach ministries, we know that you’ll find a home here at St Aidan’s!!!
I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the Lord."

Our readings for Sunday, December 1, are: Isaiah 2:1-5; Psalm 122; Romans 13:11-14; Matthew 24:36-44.

“They shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks.”
Isaiah 2:4
Isaiah’s hoped-for time of peace will be echoed by the coming King, Jesus. As Christian stewards, we can work to reduce the level of rancor and hateful discord in our society.
