 Summer Mission Trip
to Honduras
Members of several local
Episcopal parishes, including St. David's, Holy Family, St. Peter & St.
Paul and Holy Spirit will be traveling to Honduras this week to work
with the LAMB Institute in Tegucigalpa. St. Aidan's will be
represented by
Alyssa Sargent, a rising senior at Milton High
School. She is being sponsored by several members of St. Aidan's whose
generous contributions made it possible for her to participate.
Alyssa will have the opportunity to spend time with Anita, St. Aidan's
sponsored child at LAMB.
The team will be working
on construction of a new dormitory for
 boys at the LAMB children's home.
They will also be teaching sewing and other skills to teens at the
children's home, and working with women and children in the LAMB
Community Assistance Program (CAP). Please keep all the team
members in your prayers during the trip (June 18-26). If you would
like to follow daily updates from the team, visit the team blog at:

A Note on Financial
Support of the Church
As part of your financial support of St.
Aidan's, some of you purchase food and other supplies to specific church
activities and then donate these goods without asking for reimbursement.
For example, food and supplies needed for such activities and missions
as the Seder Meal, Caregivers, and Vacation Bible School have been
purchased by our parishioners and donated. Thank you for this
generosity! Please keep in mind that not only are these donations
tax deductible, but can be reflected on the year end tax statement you
receive from St. Aidan's. Simply turn in receipts for such purchases to
Donna Jones, marked "no reimbursement" and she can handle this for you.

Please Keep Your Pledge and General Contributions Current
Economic times are tight for many, and St.
Aidan’s is falling into that category. It’s time for straight talk
with the simple message that contributions are noticeably behind for the
year. Please remember the important spiritual discipline of stewardship
as one way of proclaiming all that God has done for you — returning to
Him and to the ministry of the Kingdom in this church from your
resources.

 We Need a Few
Good Moppers!
The
Mopping Ministry saves the church over $5,000 each year in
commercial cleaning fees. We mop Burtehshaw Hall floor twice each
month and with 8 teams, each team mops 3 times a year, usually 2
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
jhood66@comcast.net

Perfume Sensitivity
Some people have highly allergic reactions to perfume and other
smells that come from detergents, hair sprays, and soaps. Though
such reactions are rare, we do have members of St. Aidan's whose
allergies are that severe, which unfortunately can make them very
ill. We ask your sensitivity and cooperation by not wearing
perfume or cologne when coming to church. Thank you for your
understanding.

 St. Aidan’s
Green
Team
This
Week's
Green
Team
Tip
If you're looking for a
thought-provoking movie this summer, you may want to check out Leonardo
DiCaprio's
The 11th Hour.
With contributions from over 50 politicians, scientists, and
environmental activists, including former Soviet leader Mikhail
Gorbachev, physicist Stephen Hawking, Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai,
and journalist Paul Hawken, the film documents the grave problems facing
the planet's life systems. Global warming, deforestation, mass
species extinction, and depletion of the oceans' habitats are all
addressed. The film's premise is that the future of humanity is in
jeopardy. The film proposes potential solutions to these problems by
calling for restorative action by the reshaping and rethinking of global
human activity through technology, social responsibility and
conservation.
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.
