St. Aidan’s Faithful Prepare to Paint Church
St. Aidan’s Hosted Inter-faith Dinner
St. Aidan’s hosted a community dinner at Centre Street Congregational Church on Thursday, June 22.
It was a good evening and a definite parish outreach by St. Aidan’s to the community. The food was excellent and greatly appreciated.

A new church directory is available. It is convenient, booklet size with updated information. If you have not picked yours up, please do so! They are available at the Church.
New Editor for Web Page
I have taken over the St. Aidan’s web page. My hope is that it can be a tool for both visitors and a form of newsletter for parishioners.
Please contact me at deschnaufer@charter.net with any submissions, ideas, corrections, or requests. Thank you, Eric Schnaufer
“Living Local Joining God”
The Episcopal Diocese of Maine as well as the Connecticut, Southwest Virginia, and East Tennessee Dioceses are currently enrolled in a national program called Living Local: Joining God. Its emphasis is on listening to God and to each other beyond the walls of our church. It is not another layer of theological programs for the church to enact. It is about getting out of our own building and meeting our neighbors in the fullest sense of that word. God is everywhere. We are learning to look and listen for God and learn more about ourselves and our communities. To learn more details about this project please contact us.
Members of our “Living Local Joining God” Team are Karen Varian, Steve Colhoun, Dale Miller and Gale Peters
