Most road closures will be on the left bank, but the quais and other roads around the church will be closed too. Street parking will be reduced.
More information here.

Access to the Church
On occasions, events around the church make access difficult. We can usually warn of these problems. If we miss anything, the Geneva Police do give details here a few days ahead of time.
The latest news can always be found in our Weekly Epistle
Joining in to help others, and being helped if you need it
There are many ways to join in the life of the church: some by helping others inside our community to build a strong group of people who are ready to reach out to others; and some by directly giving time and energy to those in obvious need: the hungry, refugees etc.
"Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
There is a place for everyone: gardeners, singers, writers, camera operators, washers of dishes . . . look here to see how you can use your talents to make a better world.
The "Jardin de Monbrillant" feeds about 300 people in need each day. We contribute one day each month.
This year, our participations in the Jardin de Montbrillant will take place on May 10, May 24, July 5, September 27 and November 8.
We work from 08:30 to 13:00, but you can contribute whatever time you have.
You can sign up here.
