Christ Church Lille Newsletter 7 July 2023
|
|
|
Summer is a time for rest, we hope you all can find a space for relaxation. Read on for ideas for books, podcasts and video for yourself and summer reading for children too.
|
|
This week's Gospel reading is from Matthew chapter 11 and includes these verses:
|
|
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
|
|
Some of you, like your editor, will inevitably be reminded of Handel's Messiah ...

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!
