PARISH
MINISTRIES AT ST. AIDAN'S
Worship
Worship is coordinated by the clergy team and the
two Readers, Benedict Broomhead and Peter Bateman. Benedict and Peter run the
Choir and the Serving Team respectively. We are always pleased to
receive new servers and new singers.
Confessions
Confessions are heard during
the Praises on Sunday morning (approximately 9.55 am to 10.15 am), before
Great Vespers on Saturday evening (4.15 pm - 4.45 pm)

Catechumenate
Those wishing to become Orthodox first enrol as
Catechumens and spend some time acquainting themselves with the Faith and Life of the
Orthodox Church. At a mutually agreed time the Catechumen is either chrismated or
baptised depending on any previous church connection.
Pastoral Care
Fr. Gregory and Fr. John-Mark are available for any
kind of visiting or ministry. Holy Communion may be received at home
by the housebound.
Service to those in Need
St. Aidan's runs a Charity Shop in the Parish
Room on the first Saturday of each mnoth between 9.30 am and 12 noon when clothing or furnishings may
be purchased very cheaply.
St. Aidan's also supports Asylum Seekers and Refugees in Levenshulme.
The Zoe Group
This Bible Study and Prayer Group meets on a Tuesday evening
from 8.00 pm to 9.30 pm. All are welcome and no existing knowledge or
practice is assumed. Sharing prayers, psalms and scripture in this way widens our spiritual
view and reveals new treasures in simple revelations previously unexplored
thus enriching our journeys. We especially welcome input from our brothers
and sisters with different orthodox cultural backgrounds which will help
us to grow from our own infancy in orthodox life and faith as they share
their own journeys with us.
University Life
Fr. Gregory is an Honorary Orthodox Chaplain for the
Manchester and Salford Universities.
St. Theodore Orthodox Bookstore
This substantial Bookstore
has over 1000 volumes and is to be found in St. Aidan's Church.
It opens on Tuesday evenings between 7.00 pm and 8.00 pm in addition to
usual Church opening times. Any surplus will be applied to St. Theodore Ecclesiastical Trust, a registered charity,
(no. 1029085), whose Objects support the work of the Orthodox Church.
The Bookstore is supplied in the main by Orthodox
Christian Books Ltd. |
