The season of Advent begins on Sunday 28 November.
|
|
We'll be offering the chance to pre-order and buy Christmas cakes, puddings and mince pies for collection at church.
|
|
|
|
You can also order and collect Christmas gift boxes. Look out for more information next week.
|
|
|
|
|
Full details next week, when the forms will be available for your orders.

* Please see below the message from Frances calling for bakers!

10:30 Service of Nine Lessons and Carols
|
|
17:00 Carol Service (similar to the morning one but not quite the same)
|
|
|
Because of Covid-19 restrictions, we have to limit numbers in church and we can't welcome so many people at one time, which is why we are offering a second chance to join us to celebrate Christmas in carols that day.
|
|
You'll need to reserve your place in advance (this applies to both services), and we'll give you full details next week on how to do that - it will be just like the system for reserving places we used earlier this year.
|
|
But all being well, we will be providing mulled wine and mince pies after the services!
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Calling all bakers
We need lots of mince pies for our online market, and there should be some too for after the services on 12 December.
Can you help by baking, please? Not sure how? Get in touch with Frances as soon as you can. treasurer@christchurchlille.fr And thank you!

Taking part
Thank you as always to those who have already offered their help, it's much appreciated, and we're in this together, so there's room for everyone.
Can you help by baking for Christmas? Helping with tea and coffee after the morning service? Helping serve mulled wine on Sunday evening 12 December?
|
|
STOP PRESS: We need someone to do a little bit of plastering. Is that one of your skills? Get in touch if so.

Thank you for your continued support

|
|
We are entirely self-funded and the months of the pandemic have affected everything and everybody, not least our financial situation, which is currently cause for concern.
|
|
We're grateful to everyone who continues to support the church and its work, which goes beyond weekly services. Thank you!
|
|
|
If you're not already a regular giver, please consider whether you can give a little each month. Small amounts are just as welcome as large ones, really!

It's easy to give, here's a link to our "Giving" page
