Bible
We are passionate about knowing God better.
And because of that, we’re going to spend 2026 reading through the Bible together.
The Bible is God’s word to us, full of life and love, and we believe that it’s as we read it – alone and together – that we get to know him better, hear what he has to say to us, and learn how to follow Jesus more in our day-to-day lives.
So join us at St. Aidan’s as we read through the Bible (or part of it!) together in 2026.
