Dear St. Aidan’s Beloved,

Deeper roots and a wider table. This is an invitation to grow deeper at St. Aidan’s, so that the table--a sign for welcome, fellowship, hospitality, and graciousness in a harsh world--grows wider. Many organizations will ask for your money, as you are aware. Giving to St. Aidan’s is the “first fruits” we know from Holy Scripture. It is the members of our congregation who give generously because our life in community is your spiritual grounding, an anchor in stormy times both personal and globally. 

St. Aidan’s is a place of prayer, solace, quiet, and connection. Your clergy are with you in times of need, and in times of joy and sorrow we gather together. We grieve those who have died, and we welcome new members through the sacrament of Baptism. This is how our roots grow deeper--by being in community.

Every year, our building is used by more than 30 community partners, large and small, to support common good and mission in the city of Boulder and on the CU campus. Our presence matters in the community. This is how our table grows wider, when we partner for a common and purposeful good with our neighbors and welcome new folks to our congregation to find a home.

Your annual pledges sustain and enable St. Aidan’s as a holy place for worship and ministry. Every household matters so that our budget can serve everybody. Pledges, along with our income from parking, allow us to provide staff and ministry to meet growing costs, and growing needs. Pledge goal to meet our budget this year is $375,000, a 6% increase over 2026. What will your part be?

We have a clear mission and vision, that as a congregation next to CU, we can offer an intergenerational glimpse of the abundance of God to a world that lives in scarcity, isolation, and separation. Life is together, with deeper roots, and a wider table. You are part of that. 

I invite you to prayerfully consider making a generous and increased pledge for 2027, that in the fulfilling of it, we and others we do not yet know, may have deeper roots, and a wider table for the kingdom of God.

Give generously for deeper roots and a wider table in 2027!
