How to win a prize!
Because of recent restrictions on the number of people in the church hall, we can't hold our usual Christmas market.
So we're looking at other ways to help our fund-raising. Buy a ticket for our tombola and win a prize!
|
|
But our usual home-made items will still be available to buy, see above.

If you have read this far, thank you!
|
But we need to remind everyone that we are entirely self-funded and that we need your support to keep going and to continue our ministry in Lille.
|
|
Thank you to everyone who contributes already. Could you help us with the cost of running the church?
|
|
|
|
|
We can't do it without you!
|
|
And please support our fund-raising efforts, if you can. Thank you.
