Christ Church Lille Newsletter

12 July 2024

Sunday 14 July: the 7th Sunday after Trinity

10:30: a service of Holy Communion
The reading this week is from Mark 6:14-29
This Sunday we will be welcoming baby Isabelle to our church family during the service.
This will be our chaplain's last Sunday service before she takes her well-deserved summer leave. We look forward to welcoming some new faces to lead worship over the summer, more on this next week.
Happy holidays, Debbie!

A video about the work of Bishop's wives

Chemin Neuf have shared a video about Caroline Welby, the wife of the Archbishop of Canterbury. https://youtu.be/n-Lko1vFjjU
We are still looking for a Safeguarding Officer. Could this be you?

Canterbury Cathedral

The Ecumenical Group in Lille is planning a trip to Canterbury Cathedral on Saturday 19 October. They have suggested an alternative means of transport, sharing private cars which would be a bit cheaper than a coach, still including the entrance fee to Canterbury Cathedral (but not lunch). A valid passport and visa (where necessary) is required. If this is of interest, please contact chaplain@christchurchlille.fr
