Sister Connie, Sisterhood of St. John the Divine, leads this workshop. Please bring your own lunch. Coffee and snacks will be served. This workshop is free and open to all. For more information, please see flyer in the narthex.

8. We Want to Hear from You: Music Ministry Survey
As St. Aidan’s prepares for our upcoming music ministry transition, we invite all parishioners to share their thoughts and hopes for worship and music in our parish.
What music moves you? What helps you pray? What would you love to see grow?
Please take 5 minutes to complete our short survey online: [Click here to take the survey]. Thank you for helping shape our future worship together!
9. Music Ministry: On a sad note....our dear Michael Pirri will be leaving St. Aidan's in November for sunny Spain. We will be celebrating Michael's creative contributions to our community on Sunday, November 15, after the 10:30am service. Please direct any gift contributions to: donations@staidansinthebeach.com and state it's for Michael Pirri's gift. No tax receipts will be issued for these contributions for Michael.
10. All Saints Church-Community Centre is looking for blankets and new underwear for their drop-in guests. Please bring your contributions to St. Aidan’s, leave them in the container provided in the narthex, and we will deliver them to All Saints. Thank you.
11. We are looking for a few wonderful volunteers to help with our regular Coffee hour after the service each Sunday. It is a fun and great way to meet and get to know everyone. The role is very easy and straightforward:
setting up tables and chairs beforehand
preparing & serving tea/coffee
cleaning up afterwards
We are hoping to have at least two volunteers for each Sunday. All you need to do is sign up using the google sheet below, and we will provide all the training.
