Regular church activities have continued throughout the year as follows: (a)Worship and the advancement offaith |
| these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) |
Sunday morning meetings are the times when we provide the opportunity to go deeper with God through teaching, corporate prayer &worship. We have received sound Bible teaching from a wide variety ofoutside speakers as well as those from within the Mustard Tree Community Church. We have explored different ways ofleading singing through Zoom: using online resources, using an app (Trackd) which allowed us to record voices and instruments from our own homes, to finally leading live worship from our building in COVID secure means. This year we have not been able to 'worship' with other churches, either through our HOPE community initiative, or through a joint Harvest service etc. We are in close communication with the leaders ofthe local churches, and we are working towards a combined service ofsome sort as restrictions lift. |
|
| The small groups (mid-week), have struggled throughout the pandemic. The Bible study has kept meeting fortnightly, through zoom, and that's been very helpful to those who attend, but numbers have halved. Another mid-week group continued to meet through zoom, and other groups keep in touch regularly throu hWhatsA b wa ofsu ort. |

| has been running under government guidelines. Sunday morning services and Sunday evening prayer meetings have been replaced with online meetings hosted via Zoom, with the main Sunday service also streamed live on Facebook. In addition we have established 2 further Zoom prayer meetings duffing the week which have served as a lifeline for some who have felt isolated. |
| Within the community ofthe church we have strengthened the pastoral care that we offer, with a team dedicated to keeping in contact with all regular attendees during the lockdown. A similar initiative was used again in November, and in the January/February lockdowns. |
| As the government roadmap for emerging from COVID restrictions allows, we are beginning to explore hybrid formats whereby in-person gatherings are possible under strict adherence to guidelines, but an online service is maintained. We continue to develop and improve the ways in which we can support one another and our local community in faith and hope. Main Achievements |
| 1.The core leadership team (CLT) remained a team of3 until quite recently when some significant changes have been made. The changes were precipitated by the main leader John Mark Molyneux, employed full-time by this charity, announcing his decision to conclude his work here and move into a different career. He gave 3 months notice, starting March 1st, and therefore the church has entered a peffiod where they are exploring and discussing the priorities for the best way forward. The other significant change has been that the group, who supported the core leadership, has joined with the core leadership to form one team for this time period. Hence the leadership team is now 6, and will be 5 when John Mark steps down. 2.Because ofrestffictions due to the pandemic, we have worked to maintain a 'live gathering' feel to our online meetings. Hence our Sunday services have not been pre-recorded, but rather 'live' on zoom, broadcast out through live. While this carries real challenges from a technological point ofview, it has maintained that feeling ofgenuinely 'meeting' and being 'together'. Hence our numbers have not reduced much, and our services are accessible and enjoyed by a far wider audience through Facebook. 3.A significant contribution to the well-being of members who attend, has been the twice weekly Zoom prayer meetings hosted by a couple within the church. These have served as a place where people can share, feel heard and supported, and actively deal with anxieties we are naturally expeffiencing, through praying about things. For the 6-10 people who attend, this has been a lifeline. |
| Conclusion |
| We thank God that He is at work in us, and through us. The church is active in |
| many areas, which is only possible because ofthe continuing commitment of many volunteers from the church, and offen their fffiends and family as well. In March, when our employed leader announced his decision to step down, and when Lockdown came to an end, we found real encouragement from the Bible's account ofhow the Israelites re-built their city walls, temple and life together. We anticipated the importance ofthis by initiating 21 days of prayer at the start of Lent. This prayer initiative meant each day we were praying for between 2 and 4 church members. That initiative concluded with an evening of prayer (on Zoom), and there was a real sense that God sees us, is with us, and is encouraging us to ste u into newthin s. Staff costs |
| Stability of Income/Expenditure and its effect on reserves |
| MTCC's income is derived mainly from its attendees. The attendees are diverse |
| enough that it is unlikely that income would cease completely without a reasonable period ofdecline in which to manage the loss of income. |
| MTCC's expenditure is made up offour main elements; costs ofactivities, staff costs, support for external organisations, and building costs. The costs of activities are closely linked to the number ofattendees so they are not are considered b the reserves olic . an the su oitfor external |
