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