It's still Easter, but we're looking forward to Pentecost so Canon Debbie has already taught the congregation a new song (in Yoruba) and is looking for new ones. 🎶🎶 Can you send us a video clip (YT or other), and the lyrics, of a worship song in another language?

Don't delay, do it now, we need time to learn the song! Replies to this newsletter please.

Meanwhile, this is the last week when we can enjoy one of the wonderful Easter hymns, here's a link from Coventry Cathedral 🎶 🎬

Come along and collect some seeds!

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

In order to comply with recent French legislation, we need to update our statutes.
We spoke about this at our AGM and you can find out more on this page:

Prayers for Ukraine

Please continue to pray for all affected by this conflict.

Ukraine

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.

How you can help us

We offer lots of ways to give, take a look at our donations page.

We can't do it without you!
