It’s our second birthday at St. Aidan’s Cumbria!

Join us at the Braithwaite Institute from 12:30pm on Sunday 6th September for an afternoon packed with food, games and worship, where we’ll celebrate the goodness of God.

We’re planning lots of fun for the afternoon: bring along a picnic, play one of our lawn games, join in with a game of rounders and – at the heart of it all – join us as we celebrate all that Jesus is doing in our community at our all-age baptism service. Everyone’s welcome, whether you’re part of St Aidan’s already or just exploring faith.

The Day

  • A plaid blanket spread out on grass in a park with trees and playground equipment in the background, sunlight shining through the trees.

    12:30pm – Picnic

    Bring along your favourite picnic food, a blanket, and something to drink – we’ll do our best to provide the sunshine and a free ice cream for everyone. It’s a relaxed, festival-style lunch: spread out on the grass, connect with our community, and enjoy good food and even better company.

  • Kids' shoes scattered on the grass near an inflatable bounce house with children and adults in the background.

    1pm – Field of Fun!

    From lawn games, rounders and football goals, there’s going to be something for everyone on the Field of Fun. Pack sunscreen and comfy shoes!

  • St. Aidan's Cumbria celebrating on Easter Sunday

    3pm – All age service with baptisms

    At 3pm we’ll gather inside for a fun, family-friendly baptism service. Expect Spirit-filled worship, chance to engage and plenty of celebration as we cheer on those taking this step in their faith.

    If you’re interested in being baptised, get in touch with John to find out more.
