Lent to Easter: Services & Events

On this day, we stand at the foot of the cross and remember the ultimate sacrifice of Christ. Our Good Friday service is a time of deep, quiet reflection on the boundless love of God and the cost of our redemption.

Consistent with the ancient traditions of the Church, we gather in a sanctuary stripped of its beauty to pray, hear the Passion narrative, and offer our solemn intercessions.

Join us for the most beautiful and ancient service of the Church year. We begin in darkness with the lighting of the New Fire, processing into the sanctuary to hear the record of God’s saving deeds in history, culminating in the first joyful "Alleluia" of Easter. We will also be welcoming new members into our Christian family through the sacrament of Baptism.

The journey through the 40 days of Lent and the shadows of Holy Week has led us to this glorious moment. Today, we celebrate the ultimate victory of life over death and the light that no darkness can overcome. Join your St. Aidan's family for a day of jubilant worship, soaring music, and the eventual joy we have been preparing our hearts to receive.

As we walk through these 40 days and nights of reflection, we invite you to join us for a thoughtful six-week exploration of the “Last Things”: death, resurrection, judgment, and eternal life. In this season of preparation, we will look closely at what Scripture reveals and how the Church understands these sacred mysteries.

Rather than focusing on fear or speculation, this study is deeply grounded in the promises of God. We will discover together why these "last things" matter for how we live faithfully in the here and now, moving toward the eventual joy of our own resurrection in Christ. Come with your questions, your curiosity, and your longing for a deeper understanding of God's grace.

After the quiet reflection of the wilderness and the solemnity of Holy Week, the morning of the Resurrection is finally here! We invite all our children and families to join us for a morning of pure, jubilant celebration at our annual Easter Egg Hunt.

Nestled between our two festive worship services, this is a time for our community to gather in the bright light of Easter morning. Watch the joy on our children's faces as they discover hidden treasures—a beautiful reminder of the new life and hope we find in the Risen Christ.

Throughout the month of February, we are invited to support Lord of the Streets (LOTS), a vital Episcopal ministry serving our brothers and sisters experiencing homelessness. By providing essential supplies, we offer a tangible sign of hope and care as we walk together toward the eventual joy of Easter.

As we continue our 40-day journey through March, our focus on selfless service turns toward helping our neighbors maintain healthy, dignified homes. We are collecting new or lightly used cleaning products to support the vital work of Cypress Helping Hands. By sharing these everyday essentials, we extend the warmth and care of the St. Aidan's family to those in our local community who need it most.

How to Participate:

• What to Donate: New or lightly used cleaning supplies (all-purpose cleaners, dish soap, laundry detergent, sponges, etc.).
• Drop Off: Please place your donations in the designated outreach bins located in the Parish Hall throughout the month of March.

Our 40-day journey calls us to move beyond reflection and into the world to serve. Join your St. Aidan's family for a special morning of service as we travel downtown to provide a warm breakfast for our neighbors at Lord of the Streets.

Preparing and serving a meal is a profound way to practice Lenten humility and selflessness. By sharing a table and a smile, we witness to the eventual joy of the Resurrection and the dignity of every child of God. This is more than just a meal—it is an opportunity to be the hands and feet of Christ in the heart of our city.
