Christmass Cards: Every year we have a wonderful number of Christmas cards
from and to members of the congregation in the pigeonholes at ihe back of
church, with always a few uncollected still in JanuarylAlthough it's lovely that
this is a tradition, this year I am suggesting that we change itl I suggest that
every who wants to, writes their name and greeting in a really big card at the
back of church, and donates the money they would save on cards and puts it
either in the bucket collectrng for the Ebola appeal, or in the Gift Day box for the
Church. I hope this seems like a good idea. Fr Bernard
