KILRENNY PARISH CHURCH

Christian Aid Week Big Brunch

After church today, we are once again holding a Big Brunch after the church service as part of our Christian Aid Week celebrations. There will be bacon rolls available (or egg if required) as well as of course tea and coffee. A short quiz will be on each table, as well as a food-themed longer quiz to take away (£1 donation please). We are not charging any admission for this event, but there will be a donations box for use if you feel able to make a donation. The food being provided is being donated, so all donations will go straight to Christian Aid.

Call to Worship

 

Creator, Son and Spirit,

we gather together,

online and in-person

to seek Your presence

in our time of worship.

All: WE ARE HUNGRY FOR YOU

 

Meet us at our point of deepest need.

Connect us with the needs of others.

Equip us to join in your creative work.

Transform us more into your likeness.

All: WE ARE HUNGRY FOR YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS

 

We gather with Janet and Jessica

and their communities in Zimbabwe this Christian Aid Week.

May their stories make us hungry for justice

and even more impatient for change.

All: WE ARE HUNGRY FOR YOUR JUSTICE

 

We gather with all of creation;

with the mountains and the hills.

We shall burst into song,

with the trees of the field

we will clap our hands.

All: WE ARE HUNGRY TO PRAISE YOU

 

AMEN.
