These stories remind us of the strength and unity that define our church and its members. One such story is that of Mrs. Eleanor Davies, a long-time member of our congregation. At 85 years young, Eleanor has been volunteering at our weekly soup kitchen for over a decade. Her dedication to serving others is truly inspiring. She arrives early every Tuesday morning to help prepare the meals, and her warm smile and encouraging words bring comfort to those who need it most. Eleanor's selflessness embodies the true spirit of St Aidan's, and we are incredibly grateful for her contributions.
Another heartwarming story comes from our youth group. Last summer, they organized a fundraising car wash to support a local animal shelter.

Their efforts raised a significant amount, which went towards providing food, shelter, and medical care for abandoned animals. It's inspiring to see our young people taking initiative and making a positive impact on the community. Then there's the story of Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, who recently celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. They met at a church event many years ago and have been active members of St Aidan's ever since. Their enduring love and commitment to each other serve as an example to us all. They continue to be involved in various church activities and are always willing to lend a helping hand.
