Please contact Fr Chris (or any Church Officer) - confidentially if you prefer - with your ideas of how to find a Warden and/or get the task(s) done in a different way.Christmas Eve... Following discussion at Avranches: the only Eucharist this year will be at 11h00 at Gratot. There will not be a Eucharist at Avranches on Christmas Eve, as most people will be away.Montmartin last weekend: Many thanks to those who set up and ran the Chaplaincy stall at Montmartin Christmas Fair. We raised €353,50 Please pray for our Chaplaincy every day: Lord Jesus Christ, thank you for calling us to be a Church under the banner of your Name: may we look to you today and find clear vision for tomorrow. May our life together bring you glory, as you make of us a living invitation to enter the joy of your Kingdom. Amen.To reply or unsubscribe, please email: frchris.christchurchmanche@gmail.comPLEASE keep us informed of changed email addresses! Thank you.
