Our Interim Organist
As our interim organist
Gabriel prepares to move to Philadelphia, we offer our thanks for his
time with us and our choir. His last Sunday is this Sunday, so please
be sure to say thanks and best of luck. We will have guest organists in
the weeks ahead and have an interim or permanent organist soon. Keep
that search in your prayers.

 St.
Aidan’s
Green
Team
This Week's
Green
Team Tip
Love to BBQ? Propane burns
much cleaner than either wood or charcoal briquettes. If you can’t
resist charcoal, try a natural product like those produced by Cowboy
Charcoal—much cleaner than your traditional briquettes. Of course,
when you’re done grilling, use natural cleaning products such as SoyClean
organic grill cleaner to keep your summer as chemical-free as possible.
Tests show it’s just as tough on grime as traditional cleaners, but
won’t leave that chemical residue behind to leach into your next burger
or grilled tomato. Plus, if you want to give your neighbors
something to gossip about, try a solar oven from a company like Solar
Cookers International. How to Green Your Meals has some tasty advise,
as well.
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.
