Sunday 2 July 10:30: A service of Holy Communion
|
|
It's the fourth Sunday after Trinity
|

|
|

Sadly, we learnt this week of the death of Pierre Cecchin. While he and his wife Pauline lived in Lille they were faithful and active members of Christ Church and Pierre spent a lot of time and energy looking after the building and making sure everything worked properly. His hand-written explanations for the fire alarm are still to be seen and still in use. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

We have received a thank you message from King Charles
|
|
|
|
We sent our condolences and all the messages to King Charles when HM Queen Elizabeth II died last September and were delighted to receive a card from the palace.

|
" It was so very kind of you to send me such a wonderful generous message following the death of my beloved mother. Your most thoughtful words are enormously comforting and I cannot tell you how deeply they are appreciated at this time of immense sorrow."

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!
