What a wonderful weekend at this year’s Braderie! It must have been all those prayers, beautiful weather, great teamwork, tweaked prices and hard work at the ovens which all contributed to making this such a successful event. The new awnings gave a very smart, professional appearance and were no doubt a crowd puller. At the end…
Christ Church has been supporting work amongst the refugees and migrants in Calais on the channel coast for a few years now. We have sent donations, offered friendship and clothes, food and biscuits as requested by those on the spot. Our sister churches in the Pas de Calais have also been involved, particularly by Br Johannes’ presence on a Sunday at the…
To God be the Glory, great things he has done. The beginning of a new year often causes us to reflect on the past 12 months and then to wonder what God has in store for us over the next year. Looking back, I can see God’s hand in what we have thought about, prayed…
The beginning of a new year often causes us to reflect on the past 12 months and then to wonder what God has in store for us over the next year.

This was no simple matter, as it involved taking up carpet (and the millions of carpet tacks), re-siting the front…
It has been a strange day, a day that began in beautiful sunshine and blue skies and came to an abrupt end for so many people. I arrived in Brussels Midi this morning in the company of Rev Ben Humphries to find the station closing down and the metro already closed. We had no idea that an attack had already taken place…
Horror stories abound in the press, and unfortunately, nobody can say “that would never happen here”. The Bishop issued new guidelines in December and Debbie and the PCC have been studying the challenges and learning how to open our eyes and also how to react in different situations. There is lots of information on the Diocesan website and in particular, there are…
This year’s survey was based on the questions we asked last year, so that we could make a comparison. Last year, people were clear that they wanted to move forward and it was so encouraging to see that in every area, the responses were more positive. So thanks, Change Group, thanks everyone, your efforts have paid off. The afternoon sessions were workshops, and…
