We hope you are managing to keep warm in this very cold weather. The church will be a bit warmer on Sunday morning however, because the heating is going on overnight, so do join us for the morning service. And especially for families, don't forget there is Sunday Club!

INFORMATION: we heard on Tuesday that one of the helpers at the Christmas market on Sunday has tested positive for Covid.

Christmas Generosity
We appreciate your giving to Christ Church Lille, without which we couldn't exist. But particularly at this time of year, our thoughts turn to others so we want to tell you about some causes which need your support.
