Matthew 11:28
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Following the April 2025 ruling by the UK Supreme Court regarding trans people, St Aidan’s PCC wish to make it clear that all people are welcome in this Church.
We believe in a God who loves people.
No qualifications. No restrictions.
It doesn't matter where you come from, or what your accent is, or who you love, or how you identify or understand yourself, or whether you are rich or poor or have a good relationship with your parents or have to make your own way in the world -
This is a place of peace, a place of hope, a place of love.
You are welcome here.
Sometimes we find it hard to grasp just why God would love us -
And yet we believe it.
And because we believe this with all our hearts,
we also believe that God loves every single person in just the same way.
So there is no need to prove yourself to be part of our community.
No need to defend yourself.
No need to worry if you others will judge you.
Trans people are welcome here.
Cis people are welcome here.
Straight people are welcome here.
Queer people are welcome here.
Neurodivergent people are welcome here.

Nobody becomes more human by making others less:

We all become more by raising each other up -
as Jesus raises up each and every one of us through his cross and resurrection.
So, join us and help us build a community of kindness.

St Aidan’s PCC

 

Change of Sunday Service times

You may have heard that we will soon be changing the

time of the Sunday service so that one priest, where

necessary, can preside at both churches on the same

day. Unlike many churches across the diocese, we have

only two congregations to take into consideration

and, with changes to the service times, could continue

to have the blessing of a Service of the Eucharist in both

St Aidan’s Church and St Cuthbert’s Church each Sun-

day. If you haven’t had the opportunity to contrib-

ute your response to the proposed change of service

times, please collect a letter/form from church and

hand in your reply by Sunday 20th July. If you cannot

currently get to church and would like to contribute a

response, please speak to Canon Angela either on the

telephone or send an email - 01228 615839 or 07788

727 439 or ang.whitt68@gmail.com
