We are encouraged to learn together and share questions, at this casual group.

$1500 Donation to Local Charities At our Kirkwall Annual Meeting on February 15, 2026, we agreed to donate a total of $1500 to local charities before year-end. We would like your suggestions of worthy local non profit organizations so the Session can make a final decision. The money can be split 2 or 3 ways, to support local charities. Please send your suggestions to Norma Reeve.
Hat, Sock and Mitten tree For the month of December, we will be decorating a tree downstairs with hats, socks and mittens to be donated to Manchester Public School, where the teachers will discretely distribute these items to students who need some help. Many young children are new to Canadian winters, so let’s give them a gift of warmth. Each year a different school is chosen.
