English Language Christian Meetings in Normandy
Normandy Vision is involved with various areas of Christian ministry and mission throughout Normandy. Among these is its ministry to English-speakers who live in the region or who visit it on holiday, particularly during the summer months.
Christian worship services are held regularly at various locations. Up-to-date information on these can be found in English-language publications such as The Rendezvous magazine, or on this web site.
Normandy Vision is an evangelical protestant organisation, and the worship services and other meetings reflect this foundation. In addition to its commitment to the Bible, Normandy Vision seeks to develop a sense of Christian community among those who regularly are a part of these worship services.
Worship services include Christian songs and hymns, both old and new, readings from the Bible, prayers, together with a message that explains some aspect of the Christian faith or a passage from the Bible. See the panel below for more information about the style of worship.
Style of Worship
We believe that worship means “Giving God the glory due to his name”, and saying “thank you” for all the grace and love that he gives to us each day, and especially as seen in the saving work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the Cross. We believe that true worship can be joyful and meaningful without having to be “entertaining” or “chaotic”. The singing of hymns and songs, old and new, is typically accompanied by a keyboard and other instruments such as guitar and clarinet.
From time to time worship services include the Lord's Supper (Holy Communion). All who have put their faith in the Lord Jesus are welcome to share in this time together. See the panel below for more information about the Lord's Supper.
The Lord's Supper - Holy Communion
We believe that the bread and wine stay as just ordinary bread and wine. It is through faith that these symbols become a means of grace in which we can meet the Lord Jesus Christ in a special, spiritual way as we share together in a time of remembering what he has done for us, particularly on the Cross; what he is doing for us now; and looking ahead to his return in glory.
After most meetings there is an opportunity to have a time of fellowship together over a cup of tea or coffee and a selection of cakes!
All who want to worship God, to learn from the Bible, and to have fellowship with other Christians are welcome to come along to these meetings.
