2. Spotlight Series – Parish Life and Hospitality
Anglican parishes love opportunities to gather over food and friendship – and St. Aidan’s is no different!
This Sunday, we’re highlighting the volunteers who lead and help with the ministries that support our parish life. Whether it’s coffee hour from September to June, lemonade during the summer months, or help with BBQs, luncheons, receptions, or other special occasions – we are so grateful for everybody who helps with hospitality and parish life!
This Sunday, we especially highlight our gratitude for everyone who will step up to help Matt James with organizing the parish’s Welcome Back BBQ on Sunday, September 6. We encourage folks who are interested in helping to contact Matt.
Folks who are interested in helping out with coffee hour after Sunday services, please contact Catherine Morfitt.
