Why Give?
There are many reasons why you might want to give to the church.
It is an act of Worship
As Christians, we believe everything we have comes from God. Although we may not always feel rich, in comparison to many people in this world we have in such an incredible abundance! So giving becomes a part of our worship, as we give back to God out of the abundance he has give to us, with grateful and cheerful hearts.
It is a command
For Christians it is not just something we should do as worship, it is a command. The Bible passage in this pages banner remind us of that. giving isnt always easy but it is a spiritual discipline which we must train ourselves in.

We are caring for your heritage
Eweeny Priory is over 900 years old and St Bridget's Church is very close behind. These churches are a part of all of our history whether we are Christian or not. There is a great interest from those who do not regularly attend church to see these churches preserved. we have a visitor books in each of the churches and we have people from all over the word coming to these out of the way buildings to visit. People also want to know that they can still come to them for weddings, funerals, or as somewhere to just come and sit. Caring for these buildings however is not cheap and we need all the help we can get!
