 5. To prepare for our Wonder Church service on Sunday, May 25, we need help moving a few rows of pews after the 10:30 a.m. service. If you are able to help, please speak with Elizabeth.

 

 

 6. The search for a new permanent Incumbent at St. Aidan's has started!  Our parish profile is listed on the Diocese of Toronto website "Clergy in Motion" section and will be listed on the national website and applications will be accepted until June 30, 2025.  Please contact the Wardens with any questions or concerns.

 

 7. Our Annual Moorelands Send-A-Kid to Camp Campaign: Moorelands Camp was established in 1917 by Rev. Ted Moore and the Anglican Diocese of Toronto to give all children the opportunity to participate in camp life in the north by removing the socio-economic barriers some families face.  St. Aidan’s parishioners have supported Moorelands Kids for decades. Our Send-A-Kid to Camp campaign runs in May this year. Camp pictures and brochures are on display in the church, and more information is available at the website Moorelands Camp   It costs approximately $1650 to provide a child with a session of camp.  Donations can be made to St. Aidan’s, and at the end of the campaign we will forward 100% of the funds to Moorelands Kids.  Please consider a donation. Thank you.
