On Thursday, May 18 we will once again host our neighbours in the Beach for a fun get-together and a hearty home-cooked Supper at St. Aidans! We hope you’ll join us, bring your friends and neighbours, and have a chance to hang out with other families in the church and community.  There’s no charge, and all are welcome!   

3. Special Vestry Meeting: Sunday, May 28

On May 28, following the 10:30 service, we will be convening a special vestry meeting to vote on whether "to landscape the West Garden as designed by IBI Group on the condition we secure the necessary funding.” There will be a presentation of the garden design, followed by Q&A and a vote on whether to proceed with the development. To vote at this meeting, you must be a member of vestry. The vestry list is posted in the narthex. If your name is not listed and you believe it should be, please contact Amy Ferguson, Gemma Snider, or the Rev. Jeff Nowers.  

4. Celebration of Life & Book Launch, May 18

Everyone is invited to a Celebration of the Life of Peter Robinson and the launch of his last book Standing in the Shadows on the 18th May from 6:00-9:00 pm at the Balmy Beach Club.  

5. Call for Sunday School Volunteers

Our children's programming on Sunday mornings relies on a team of awesome volunteers. We are in need of some new helpers to teach and support our Sunday school classes. Lesson plans are provided so prep work and commitment is minimal. Help us keep our children's ministry alive! Please contact gemmasnider@hotmail.com if you are interested or know someone who may be!  

6. Plant Sale

Michael Erdman is holding his perennial plant sale again this year on May 13 – 14, and May 20 – 22, from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm each day, in his front yard at 14 Lyall Avenue (Kingston Rd. and Main St.).  The sale features hundreds of well-grown perennials, priced below retail, with proceeds going to Community Centre 55’s Share-a-Santa program.  The program provides food hampers and toys to 900+ families in need of support over the holidays.  

7. Choir Camp

This summer, we invite all kids to join us for another fun-filled week of summer day camp complete with singing, musical exploration, and outdoor fun and games. Running July 10-14 for $100, for kids ages 6-14! For more information or to register, contact music@staidansinthebeach.com.
