More about the season of Trinity
Many of Jesus' best-loved parables are read during the Season after Trinity.
It's the time of year when we explore what it means to live out our faith in everyday life—loving God, serving others, and growing in grace…
|
One of the parables in the gospel of Matthew is the one about mustard seeds:
"“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in his field; it is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”

Where to Find Us
|
We're continuing to worship in the aumônerie, just opposite the church.
|
|
If you're coming to church, simply look for the big blue door to the church hall. Our temporary worship space is just across the road, behind the green door. Between the blue door and the green door, you're in the right place!
|
|
|
A huge thank you to everyone who helps prepare the aumônerie each week. Setting up and packing away only takes a few minutes, and many hands really do make light work. If you're able to lend a hand before or after the service, we'd be very grateful.

🌍 Where in the World is Christ Church Lille?
|
This summer some of our church family will be travelling far and wide. Each week we'll colour in another country on our map as we hear where you've been.
|
|
Whether you're relaxing on a beach, hiking in the mountains, visiting family, or enjoying a staycation, we'd love to know where your summer adventures take you! Staying in Lille? Maybe you have visited a corner of the city or surrounding area that you can share.
|
|
Help us colour the world! Simply send us a quick WhatsApp or email to Church Office with the country you've visited (or are visiting), and we'll add it to next week's map.

Where in Lille ?

This week, do you know where this is? A famous pastry shop which we are not going to advertise, but whose architecture is also famous.
