Special Thanks! |

Many, Many thanks
to everyone who helped with Vacation Bible School! I am so
appreciative of everyone's time and support with VBS this year.
For everyone who donated supplies and decorations, to teachers,
shepherds, teen volunteers, and dinner crews, work day and decoration helpers, and
Lee Thompson for the very cute shirts; you helped make this
year's VBS truly "Out of This World!" Thank you Fr. Rob for
your dinner blessings and continued support of children's
ministries. An extra special thank you goes to the VBS Team,
Suzanne Maddux and Mike Monaghan, for months of your
time and dedication, my deepest gratitude!
Thank You Everyone!

New 2010 Pictorial Directory |

 WE
WANT YOU to be in our new 2010 PICTORIAL DIRECTORY. Our dedicated
professional photographer, Jim Pettit, will be making pictures each
Sunday in the Cathedral Room between church services June 13,
20 and 27. July dates will be announced soon. Picture taking
will end at the end of July in order to have the Directory completed in
September. We want YOUR picture in our directory but we are
totally dependent on YOUR cooperation to make this happen. We can use
the pictures that were in the 2008 Pictorial Directory, you can get new
pictures taken by Jim, or you can send us a picture to include. If you
want to send in a photograph of you or your family that you already
have, please send it to
Office@staidans.org, with "Photo
for Directory" in the Subject line. If you have a picture you want us
to scan, please bring it by the office. 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
sitting for your family picture, please contact Jim Pettit at
jim@jamespettitphotography.com.
Also, please check the directory located in the narthex for correct
addresses, telephone numbers or email addresses. Please write in
corrections or if your information is correct, please initial by your
name. Please contact Harmony Kiser at

hours on a Saturday morning.
The "Zamboni"
scrubbing machine is a big help in cleaning the floor.
Men, women and youth
are invited to join the Mighty Moppers by signing up on the
bulletin board in Burtenshaw Hall or by contacting 'da Big Mopper',
Jerry Hood, at

St. Aidan’s
Green
Team |
|
 This Week's
Green
Team Tip
For scrubbing yourself
clean, consider using an all-natural brush or washcloth. Bristled
bamboo-back brushes, organic cotton washcloths, and sea-sponge loofahs
are all effective and environmentally friendly. When you step out of
your (quick, we hope) shower, dry off with a hemp or organic-cotton
towel. EcoBathroom -
http://www.ecobathroom.com/
is a good online
resource for sustainable bath accouterments.
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.
