We are into exam season, and if you or family members or friends are in the middle of it, we are all thinking of you. Take a moment or two to relax in between stressful sessions, however, and then look forward to a peaceful summer and an exciting Rentrée.

Thank you to everyone who uses the digital service sheet available here 🔗— it’s easy to view on your phone and helps us save a little paper along the way. Thank you for supporting a greener approach! (You can of course print a copy if you prefer).

As always at Christ Church, everyone is very welcome. The kettle is never far from the boil, the coffee pot is always hot and ready, and of course there will be biscuits — some even covered in chocolate!

For now, we are still meeting in the aumônerie opposite. The address is 1 rue Watteau and here's a map.
|

As mentioned it's just over the road from the big blue door.

A lot of things are going on in the background. We are in touch with the company which is due to clean the church, but before anything can go ahead, the Town Hall is carrying out tests to see if there is lead in the atmosphere.

Meet the church
As we keep saying, the church is the people, not the building ...
If you check our Facebook page, you'll find an occasional video showcasing some of our congregation.

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 ...

For your diary
|
It's not really possible at the moment to organise one of our usual church lunches although we're looking forward to being able to meet up in the hall in the autumn.
|
|
But as you know, we are a friendly bunch and some of our members are planning to meet up for a picnic after the service on 28 June.
|
|
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?
|
|
We'll remind you nearer the time.
