All are invited to a join together for an evensong service celebrating the Feast of All Souls on the afternoon of Sunday, November 6th at 4:30 pm. A sheet on which to record names of loved ones you would like remembered at the service is at the back of the church. We hope to see you there!  

3. Meditation  

Meditation is held in the church on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 to 8:15.This is a wonderful opportunity to join with others in cultivating the disciplines of stillness and silence. No experience necessary. All are welcome!  

4. Euchre

Join us on Tuesday nights, at 7pm for a fun and friendly evening of progressive Euchre downstairs in the main hall.  Beginners welcome.  $5.00 to play.  All proceeds go to St.  Aidan’s Church community outreach.  

5. Kneeler Kits  

Kneeler kits for the church have arrived - we are looking for donations/dedications and stitchers! As part of the building renewal project, we have undertaken to provide kneeler cushions for those who prefer to kneel for prayer.  We have bought 20 different cross-stitch kits from a supplier in England.  Completed kits will have a label on them with the name of the maker, and the donor, who can dedicate it if they wish.  The kits cost about $120 each and you can choose the pattern you wish to donate/dedicate.  We are also looking for about 6 more people to do the needle work. Instruction will be provided and we will set up a time for stitchers to meet together regularly to work on their canvas if they wish - likely on Sundays after the 10:30 service.  If you are interested in donating/sponsoring or making a kit, or have a question, please send an email to the church office.
