La Solidarité Anglicane de Lille
This is our outreach organisation, and we will be holding our Annual General Meeting via Zoom on 21 March at 8 pm. Everyone is welcome, but only those on the electoral roll of the church can vote.

|
|
|
Those on the roll have received the link, but if you would like to attend, get in touch: everyone is welcome!

Christ Church Lille Annual General Meeting

We will share more details nearer the time.

Prayers for Ukraine
|
Please continue to pray for all affected by this conflict.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We are entirely self-funded and we have cut back our expenses as much as possible; but we still need a regular income.
|
|
We're grateful to everyone who continues to support the church and its work, which goes beyond weekly services.
