8 October we come to the end of this year's season of Creationtide but we don't stop in our efforts to protect our world.

|
We are still seeking a Local Environment Officer to help us here in Lille. Could that be you? Could you promote our caring for creation agenda? Help us to reduce our carbon footprint?

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!
