Thank-you from Moira and John Moira and John (Wightman) would like to thank the people of St. Aidan's for their concern, help and prayers after Moira's emergency open heart surgery, and stroke. Moira’s Meditation Group on Tuesdays has been cancelled for now and will resume in September.
We would like to celebrate with you! Let us know of your birth date if you are 80 and over and of your anniversary date if you have been married 50 years or more. Contact the church office so we can share your good news.
Garden Sale Thank-you A big hug of a thank you from the Shelbourne Community Kitchen for hosting such a successful Garden Sale Fundraiser for them. We made $5,600 and counting as funds are still coming in from after-sales. It was a huge effort by members of the congregation who donated plants and tools; set up tables; provided the cash float; served coffee; taught children’s crafts and sold merchandise and we should all be proud of the way the local community came together to make the fundraiser happen. It was a festive event and one party of supporters was overheard to say "What a fun morning together, and the prices were so good and best of all it was for a good cause!” How can you beat that? So once again Thank you so much for your help. ~Vivian Skinner
