Up until the end of May we were not sure that it would be possible for us to hold the annual Bible Exhibition in Houlgate due to not having enough people able to be on the team this year. In answer to many pleas and prayers, we now have a team of helpers that have come together so that the sixth annual Bible Exhibition - Expo-Bible - is able to go ahead this summer in Houlgate. Houlgate is a seaside town in Normandy, north-western France.
The exhibition will be open to the public for a period of two weeks this summer, from Wednesday, August 7th through to Wednesday, August 21st.
In addition to the exhibition itself, Normandy Vision in co-operation with the Eglise Evangélique d'Houlgate - Houlgate Evangelical Church - organise Sunday morning worship services in English for holiday-makers and tourists whose first or second language is English and who do not understand French sufficiently well to be able to attend the church's regular services on a Sunday morning.
Find out more about the English-language worship services.
