And everyone enjoyed the mince pies and mulled wine after the service too - as well as the tombola. Thanks to everyone who donated prizes, made delicious things to eat and everyone who bought a tombola ticket!

If you have read this far, thank you!
|
But we need to remind everyone that we are entirely self-funded and that we need your support to keep going and to continue our ministry in Lille.
|
|
Thank you to everyone who contributes already. Could you help us with the cost of running the church?
|
|
|
|
|
We can't do it without you!
|
|
And please support our fund-raising efforts, if you can. Thank you.
