Generous Living
|
Everyone in church the other week received a leaflet about Generous Living; this followed on from Canon Debbie's recent sermon series and the prayer card. If you didn't receive one, you can find it on our website at this link.
|
|
Please could you hand in your response in church next time? Thank you! (Don't hesitate to ask the chaplain if you are not sure).

2-3 September 2023 Braderie de Lille (helpers needed!)
|
|
|
|
|
You might think it's early but we are already planning our presence at the Braderie de Lille in September. Can you help? We need people to prepare, to plan and of course to be available over the event too. Get in touch braderie@christchurchlille or churchoffice@christchurchlille to see how you might participate. It's a major fund-raising event for us, so really important that we give 100% effort. Thank you for your help.

Prayers for Ukraine
|
Please remember 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.
|
|
|
|
|
We can't do it without you!
