Christ Church Lille Newsletter 11 November 2022

At the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month – we will remember them.
The Armistice, an agreement to end the fighting of the First World War as a prelude to peace negotiations, began at 11am on 11 November 1918.
|
Today we mark Armistice Day and on Sunday, we hold a special service to remember those who lost their lives on active service in all conflicts, not just WWI.

Did you know our income is currently about €1000 per month less than our outgoings?
|
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!
