Every year in May, which sees the anniversary of the founding of our church, we try to give a little to thank those in the past who made our church community possible, and to support those in the future who will benefit from our ministry here in Lille.

|
From last week and up to 2 June, you can pick an envelope from the board, to the value you choose. Envelopes are available between €1 and €100.
