Farewell Celebration for Aidan!
Thank you to all those who came to Aidan's farewell celebration on Sunday, July 7.
Aidan has been a huge part of life here at Gloria Dei Church from participating on Church Council, to playing in the Praise Band, to volunteering at VBS, to filling in on the maintenance team at the church as needed.
We will certainly miss him and want to wish him all the best as he moves to Florida this month.
Godspeed Aidan! We look forward to you playing with the Praise Band from time to time when you are back visiting!
