Christmas - giving to Charity:

Over recent years we, in Kilrenny, have donated our Christmas collections to charity. This year we would like to expand on this act of giving in two ways.

 

• Donations given to the Book and Jigsaw cafe in December will also be for our charity fund.
• We would also like to suggest, that within the congregation, instead of giving each other Christmas cards we each write just one card to everyone, which will then be displayed in the church, adding to the decorations. We would like to ask that any money that would have been spent by individually buying extra cards, should be donated by each one of us in the congregation, to our charity fund.
• The charity selected is Crisis. This is a national charity to help people experiencing homelessness.
