People often think of spring as a time for new starts, but autumn is also a time when we renew and refresh our ministry, our church life. The new academic year is a time for new projects, for new ideas.
So what’s new at Christ Church?
..............................................................
Ladies’ Bible Study started again on 10 October, and they have decided to meet in person instead of online. Timing is also new, so that a lunchtime discussion is possible for some.
They have embarked on a 12-week course on Angels. Meetings are in the church hall for now, but please check with churchoffice@christchurchlille.fr because the venue may change, especially as winter sets in.
Sounds interesting? Get in touch to find out more.
Ladies’ Bible Study on Thursdays from 11:30-12:30 during termtime.
..............................................................
The music group is starting up again with new members, renewed enthusiasm and new leaders.
We’re delighted to have music as part of our worship. If you’re interested in joining them, get in touch with churchoffice@christchurchlille.fr
Did you know? We are currently renewing our licences for music in church. Most people don’t realise that using copyright material hymns and songs needs a licence. Musicians, arrangers, composers need to earn their living too.
