St Aidan’S, Carlisle, CA1 1LT
St Aidan’s is a beautiful church at the heart of the Warwick Road community. We are a welcoming, accepting congregation who enjoy a traditional style of worship. We follow a printed order of service and sing hymns from a hymn book to organ accompaniment. We value Scripture and the Sacraments expressed through beautiful music, words and surroundings, with candles, vestments and sometimes incense. Come and find out if this suits your own spirituality and journey with us as we try to live out the Gospel message and learn how to love God and our neighbour.
