Every year in May, which sees the anniversary of the founding of our church, we try to give a little to thank those in the past who made our church community possible, and to support those in the future who will benefit from our ministry here in Lille.
|
|
|
|
|
Between 28 April (this Sunday!) and 2 June, you can pick an envelope from the board, to the value you choose. Envelopes are available between €1 and €100.
|
|
Give cash, a cheque (Christ Church Lille), or use the QR code to pay online, and put the envelope in the collection plate with your name and contact details.
|
|
|
|
|
Each amount has only one envelope, so don't wait too long or there will be less choice.
|
|

|
Not going to be in church? No problem, just use the QR code here, and choose your amount!
