1. Canon Julie is away for August and looks forward to seeing everyone again in September. Canon Michael will be available for pastoral care during this time.
2. This week we welcome the Rev. Vinaya Dumpala to St. Aidan’s.
3. Spotlight Series – Children’s and Youth Ministry
On Sunday mornings, during the service, we have Sunday School for children (Pre K- Grade 5) and youth (Grades 6 to 12). The children will be using a new curriculum this year that shares Bible stories through movement, art and games. The youth do
Bible study together and learn how to apply faith lessons to their daily lives.
Youth gather once a month for a social event, and once a month for a worship night. We also have a lively Dungeons and Dragons group that meets the needs of many neighbourhood youth.
Busy Bees Play Group happens every Thursday from 10-11:30 a.m. We have a solid group of 20-25 children plus their caregivers who come every week for free play, circle time, a craft, and coffee/tea/goodies.
This fall, we are offering another Parent and Tot group with cooking, art, music and stories for ages 18 months - 3 years old and their parents.
Wonder Church is an intergenerational worship service aimed at children ages 0-6 and their families. We move the pews so that the children are free to wiggle and move during the service. This short service has puppets, music, and prayers.
We are hoping to build a team of volunteers to run nursery for our growing population of little ones.
We are always looking for more people to volunteer and join our team! For more information, please contact Elizabeth (Children’s and Youth Minister) at children@staidansinthebeach.com.
