This week we celebrate Ascension; this is also Christ Church Lille's anniversary of its founding in 1870.
If you are in church, please take a moment to look at the Ascension window at the back of the church. All the windows in our church were funded by contributions from families and friends at the time. The Ascension window was sponsored by the Windsor family, and one of their descendants, Patricia, is still an active member today. We celebrate the continuing ministry of Christ Church and all those in the past, the present, and the future, who enable its ministry and mission here in Lille.

On Saturday 31 May, our Archdeacon Peter Hooper is getting married to Liz, who is also a priest, in the Leicestershire UK Diocese.
We send Peter and Liz all our very best wishes on this happy occasion, and thank you to everyone who participated in our greetings video, by singing the hymn "Praise the Lord the King of Heaven" (one of the hymns that will be sung at the wedding).
|
The final video, which includes greetings and congratulations from everyone in the Archdeaconry, has been published on our YouTube channel. And although it is not public, it is available to anybody with the link.
