What’s on?
The worship service every Lord’s Day morning is at 10.30am with a time of prayer from 10am. Coffee is also served from 10am. The service is conducted in French but an English translation of the sermon is available. Twice a month the service is followed by a light lunch and an afternoon Sunday School for both children and adults. Once every two months a church lunch is held after the service though in the summer months there is a BBQ most Lord’s Days.
On Monday evenings, several members of the church run English conversation classes from 8pm – 9pm.
On Wednesday evenings the regular midweek Bible study takes place in our church building from 8pm until 9.30pm.
One-off events such as Irish evenings and special evangelistic meetings are also organized from time to time.
On the Web:
The Eglise Réformée Evangélique d’Orvault website www.eglisenantesnord.org is an invaluable means of outreach and communication and is attracting an ever-growing number of visitors. The weekly sermons can be listened to or read via the website. The dedicated youtube site has been widely accessed throughout the French speaking world.
How can you help:-
- Prayer
Prayer is a vital element in the work and the prayer support of hundreds of Christian friends throughout the world is greatly appreciated. Each month prayer requests and updates are sent to supporting churches and individuals. Prayer letters which give a more personal insight into missionary life in France are also sent. If you would like to receive these, contact Andrew and ask to be added to the email lists.
Many congregations pray regularly for the work in France but we would also encourage individuals to set up prayer groups to pray specifically for France with people who share a similar burden for the work.
- Visit Nantes and worship with us –
Nantes is easily reached. By plane there are flights from many airports throughout Europe. Trains come from most major cities elsewhere in France. The missionaries will be able to suggest accommodation possibilities in the area.
- Take a gap year/career break to work or study in Nantes
There are many international students who go to Nantes to study, many of whom have little or no French. Others go as part of their university language studies. Whatever the reason, the Mission team is always delighted to welcome those who go with a desire to serve and be involved in the life of the fellowship. There are opportunities to be involved with most aspects of the work but especially with the work among students and the teenagers in the church.
Opportunities are not just limited to students. If someone is willing to be flexible in terms of their work and willing to make an effort to learn enough of the language to get by, then there is a place for them in Nantes. If you would like to investigate the possibility of moving to Nantes to be involved with the fellowship there, contact any of the missionaries.
- Continue to support the mission financially
As with all missionary situations, the work in Nantes is maintained thanks to the generous, sacrificial giving of God’s people throughout the world. This generosity is gratefully acknowledged by the mission team and fellowship in Nantes. Most giving takes place within the context of local congregations but it is also possible for individuals to make contributions directly to the Mission Committee treasurer or directly to the fellowship in Nantes.
