Christ Church Lille Newsletter 19 August 2022
|
|
|
|
We are sorry to tell you that our oldest member, Mona Maka-Cockerell died last weekend after a short illness.
|
|
She had been a faithful member of the church since she was young.
|
|
Mobility problems had prevented her from attending church in recent years, but she maintained contact, and the chaplain visited her regularly, as did other members of the congregation.
|
|
Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.
|
|
|
|
|
The funeral service will be held at Christ Church on Saturday 20 August at 10:30 am.
|
|
For those who would like to make a donation in her memory, her family has asked for donations to Christ Church Lille: click the button below for how to do this.

Prayers for Ukraine
|
Please don't forget that this conflict is ongoing. Your prayers are still needed.

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. Thank you!
|
|
|
If you're not already a regular giver, please consider whether you can give a little each month. Small amounts are just as welcome as large ones, really!
