The week between Palm Sunday and Easter Day is a journey we take with Jesus through the moments of his passion, death, and resurrection. There is no week like this in our year, and it is worth taking your time to participate and come to services.
At 5:30pm on Good Friday, we’ll have a special time with kids to observe, in a kid-friendly way, the moments of Holy Week. This will take less than an hour. Grownups are welcome, too.
The Watch
Throughout this night between Thursday (April 17) and Friday (April 18), you are invited to keep watch with the sacrament.
You may do so in person on Thursday evening until 10pm and Good Friday morning from 7am to 12noon by signing up for an hour or two of quiet prayer and presence. The sign-up can be found in person in the Parish Hall. You can be present without having previously signed up.
You may also keep watch in your own home, and Zoom the Holy Sacrament all night in the Chapel.

Thoughts on a Lenten Rule
by Fr. Steve Wengrovius, Priest Associate
For centuries, Christians have kept a Lenten Rule as a way to prepare their hearts and souls for Easter. Rather than a rigid set of obligations, a Lenten Rule is an intentional framework for prayer, fasting, and self-denial that helps re-establish Godly priorities and deepen our awareness of God’s love. Fr. Steve Wengrovius reflects on how crafting a Lenten Rule can shape our spiritual growth and draw us closer to Christ.
Bible (and Book) Study: The Difficult Words of Jesus
Join Mother Amanda for a six-session Bible study. We will engage with Scripture, watch short video teachings from the author, and reflect on what these challenging sayings mean to us today. You're encouraged to read the book chapter (about 12 pages a week) before the session, but no pre-reading is required. Have your Bible with you and a willingness to wrestle with the hard things Jesus said together.
Each session meets on Zoom on Mondays, 5:30-7:00pm. Attend just one session or several! This Bible Study is only being offered synchronously (no recording) because conversation is key.

A Faithful Exploration of AI & Christian Ethics
at Coffee Hour on Sundays in Lent
Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to computer systems designed to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as learning, decision-making, and language processing. No longer a distant concept, AI is now part of daily life: shaping industries, influencing public discourse, and raising complex ethical questions. How does faith guide us to grapple with the ethics of AI?
St. Aidan’s Episcopal Church invites you to a five-week Coffee Hour series exploring the intersection of AI and Christian Ethics. We will look at Scripture, have conversations, and hear a case study: AI’s role in journalism and communication. We will consider how to uphold truth, compassion, and justice in an AI-driven world. Join a timely conversation about living faithfully in a world transformed by AI.

“Now quit your care and anxious fear and worry;
for schemes are vain and fretting brings no gain.
Lent calls to prayer, to trust and dedication;
God brings beauty nigh.”
