Christ Church Lille Annual General Meeting
|
This is when we look back on the past year, and it is also an official requirement to approve the accounts and reports on our activities.
|
|
We will share more details nearer the time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
If you come to the AGM later in April you can see all the details of where the money goes - and where it comes from too.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We can't do it without you!
