We would like to start this newsletter with huge thanks.
- Firstly to all the people who turned up last Saturday morning to clean inside and outside, and also to grapple with the lighting. What a team, and what a great result!
|
Thank you all very much for your help.
- And then our sincere thanks to the wonderful person who dealt with all the weeds and rubbish in the church surroundings, before we even got there on Saturday; we don't know who to thank but they are currently our favourite person!
|
|
- Last but by no means least, very many thanks to Helen B who found the source of the leak in the loo which caused panic at the weekend. She has also purchased the replacement parts and fitted them. We are so grateful!

If you are in Lille, you will have noticed that the building next door in rue Lydéric is having a facelift.
Following discussions and agreements with the Town Hall, they are now starting work on the adjoining wall next to the church, and work will continue for some weeks.
|
|
This involves scaffolding inside the church perimeter and then cleaning and painting.
|
|
They know that we will need access, so no worries on that score. But please forgive any slight inconvenience, thank you.
|
|
More works to come in September, we'll keep you updated.Then it will be work on the water supply and also on the church lighting.
|
|
The Town Hall owns the building, but we are responsible for its upkeep, so thanks to everyone involved.

Services during the summer

Services continue every Sunday throughout the summer and into autumn. We are grateful to the Reverend Elisabeth Dean, who will be leading services every Sunday except for the first Sunday of the month.
On the first Sunday, there will be a service of Morning Prayer led by one of our Christ Church Lille Congregational Worship Leaders.

Volunteers are needed to help sell goods at our bric-a-brac stall at the Lille Braderie on 6 and 7 September. Please speak to Calvin if you can help, even if just for an hour or so. Thank you, we really need you.
