of Blood Mountain and back down. The trail is about 60 miles from
the church (an hour and a half drive). We will meet in St. Aidan’s
parking lot at 8AM and leave promptly at 8:15AM. We should be back
around 2 or 3PM. Contact Jim Linthicum if you would like to meet
the group at the trail. To sign-up, get directions or ask
questions, contact Jim at
jlinthicum@yahoo.com or 404.983.3558.

This
Week’s Loose Plate Offering - Kids 4 Peace |
|
The First Sunday Loose Plate Offering for
June will support Kids 4 Peace, an interfaith educational program
that brings together children of different cultures and faith traditions
to explore their similarities and differences, taking a step toward
global understanding and peace. Twelve Middle School age children
from Jerusalem, Israel and the West Bank, Palestine (Christian, Jewish
and Muslim) and twelve children from the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta
participate in a year long cultural exchange. The kids share their
stories, hopes and dreams and discover their common heritage.
A highlight of the exchange occurs during
the summer when the children come together for a 10-day summer camp
experience at Camp Mikell. Our own Jack DeArmey has been
selected for the program. Jack will represent St.. Aidan's, along
with representatives from 8 other Atlanta parishes in the 2010 Kids 4
Peace program. Donations received for the loose plate offering
will be used to sponsor Jack in the Kid's 4 Peace program. You may
also make donations to Kids 4 Peace anytime during the month of June by
designating "Kids 4 Peace" in the memo line of your check. For
more information on Kids 4 Peace, visit
http://kids4peaceatlanta.org/.

 WE
WANT YOU to be in our new 2010 PICTORIAL DIRECTORY. Our dedicated
professional photographer, Jim Pettit, will be taking pictures each
Sunday in the Cathedral Room between church services. We can use the
pictures that were in the 2008 Pictorial Directory of you, or you can
get new pictures taken by Jim. This is also a great time to have a
family picture made that you can use for your Christmas cards, or have
enlarged for your home. If you prefer to schedule a separate setting
for your family picture, please contact Jim Pettit at
jim@jamespettitphotography.com. We would really love to have YOUR picture in our Pictorial Directory,
since that is so helpful, but are totally dependent on YOUR cooperation
to make this happen by having Jim take your picture. Also, please check
the Directory if you need to correct or update addresses, telephone
numbers, or email addresses on the existing Directory. If your
information is correct, please initial by your name. If you have any
questions, please contact Harmony Kiser at

St. Aidan’s
Green
Team |
|
 This Week's
Green
Team Tip
Now that the weather's
warmer, instead of tossing your damp clothes into the dryer, hang them
outside. Line-drying uses zero energy (except your own) and we think
sun-dried clothes actually smell better. If the weather doesn't permit
(or for more delicate items), invest in an inexpensive drying rack that
you can set up inside. If you want to use a clothesline but your
homeowners' association forbids it, consider getting involved with
"Project Laundry List"
http://www.laundrylist.org or a similar
advocacy organization.
Recycling Reminder
Please
stop and think before tossing your trash! Please use the recycling
containers in Burtenshaw Hall appropriately. The tall slim cans are for
clean, empty plastic bottles and aluminum cans. The small cans in the
classrooms are for clean paper. The
Green
Team appreciates your consideration!
Join the Green
team!
The St. Aidan's
Green Team
meets the second Sunday of each month after the 11 am service;
all are welcome to participate.
If you are interested in helping St. Aidan’s with its environmental
stewardship (recycling and the like) please contact Father Rob at
fr.wood@earthlink.net.
