Huge thanks to Reverend Elisabeth, we are so grateful for her continued service to us here in Lille. She faithfully travels from Paris nearly every Sunday, and still has a smile and a kind word for everyone. She will be taking a well-earned break during July and August, so please take a moment to say thank you, and happy holidays before she leaves on 28 June.
During July and August, please welcome Reverend Gary Wilton and his wife Gillian, see below.

Welcome Reverend Canon Dr Gary Wilton
|
|
|

Gary Wilton has served in Brussels and Dinard and has been a member of the Council of ICS. He is married to Gillian and they have two grown up sons. Gary recently retired from his roles as Dean of Formation for Church Army and a Teacher Fellow at Durham University. His wife Gillian is also ordained and has just retired from being the vicar of two rural parishes in North Hampshire. They now live in South Hampshire, between the New Forest and the Sea. He loves wine, cheese, tomato ketchup and Yorkshire Tea. (Wine and cheese no problem Gary, but Yorkshire tea will be a bit more difficult ...)

Meet the church
As we keep saying, the church is the people, not the building ...
This week's clip is now on our FB page: see who likes CCL!

Fancy a picnic?
|
As this is an informal event, not an officially organised lunch, could you be a contact person for this? It would involve giving your contact details and helping visitors to join in if they wish. Please let me know, thanks.
|
|
The JB LeBas park is just down the road, where there are play areas and a court for pétanque if you feel so inclined!
|
If you'd like to join in, bring a snack/a sandwich/a picnic, and some water. Maybe you can bring something to share too for unexpected guests?

There are roadworks happening on the RN 356 (Périphérique Est) this summer; they started on 8 June and will continue to the end of July.
If you use this road to come into church, please check the details of closures on the website

Delighted to share the next in our revised and updated children's worksheets; please take a look; created for our younger members doesn't mean there's nothing to say to adults ...

We have been so happy to see how many people want to help, and are thinking of us. The donations are very much appreciated as we try to negotiate the path between insurance and excesses, but the knowledge that people are there for us is the best value. Thank you!
