Twenty-Fifth Sunday after Pentecost
All Saints Day
November 6, 2016
All Saints Day: We celebrate the Feast of All Saints this morning, as
we recognize that we are all blessed by the Saints in our lives. Saints are
both the giants of Christian history such as Saint Mary and Martin
Luther, and the people we encounter at the food pantry and at Backsnack
packing. Who are the saints who have enriched your faith? Take time to
remember them, pray for them, and thank them today!
We Believe: We start a six-part sermon series today on the
fundamentals of the Christian faith as encapsulated and expressed in the
Creeds. Our topic this morning is Belief. Next Sunday: God the Father.
Adult Forum: Fifty Shades of the Red Book: Curious about the
Book of Common Prayer? Please join our discussion of its contents at
our Adult Forum at 9 am. Next Sunday: the Prayers and the Catechism.
New St Aidan’s Mugs: Pick up your immutable, vibrant, and highly
sought-after St. Aidan’s mugs. You can also purchase some new mugs
for $5 each. It’s not too early to start holiday shopping!!
BackSnack Packing: We pack Backsnacks for five area elementary
schools this Wednesday, November 9, at 5 pm in the parish hall. See
David Kahn for more information. See you on Wednesday!
Changed from Glory to Glory: St. Paul encouraged the church in
Corinth to be transformed into the image of Christ as they contemplate
the glory of the Lord. He was also speaking to us. Where do you see
Jesus? A good place to start is with daily prayer and Bible reading.
Welcome to Saint Aidan’s this Morning! Thank you for
worshipping at Saint Aidan’s this morning. Holy Eucharist is only part
of what happens on Sunday morning: there is also Christian formation at
9 am in the parish hall, and hospitality and delicious treats after worship.

Toiletries for Bessie’s House: Bessie’s House is a loving, Christ-like
response to the spiritual, economic, and social poverty across the city of
Kansas City, Missouri. We are collecting toiletry items – new
