Trustees Annual Report 22 June 2023

TRUSTEES:-

Pastor T H Thomas, Mr P G Lawrence, Mr D P Lawrence, Mr R E Kennett, Mrs J Callow.

The Church here in Wappenham and Slapton was established 1996 and continues in the work we believe the Lord has called us to do. Our main aim is to preach the Bible as the word of God and hold out the Lord Jesus Christ as the hope and Saviour of a lost world.

Our main Sunday services are held in Wappenham Chapel at 10:30am and in Slapton Chapel at 6pm. We meet around the Lord’s Table on the first Sunday of each month after the service. On Tuesday evenings we hold a Bible study/prayer meeting at 7:30 in the Wappenham Chapel. During the morning services in Wappenham we also hold a Sunday school for the children in the schoolroom. We do have a child protection policy in place and all of those working with the children are DBS certified.

There is a small library of various types of Christian books in the Wappenham Chapel for general use. These books are available to read at no charge.

The ladies of the Church meet every other week on a Wednesday morning in the homes of one of the ladies for a time of prayer and fellowship.

We meet for a joint prayer meeting with three other churches in the Northampton area every three months and with a church in Banbury twice yearly.

Every year we send financial support to various missionary societies whose work is abroad, as well as supporting the work of Caring for Life (a Christian organisation in Leeds whose work is primarily among vulnerable people).

We continue to maintain the two chapel buildings and they are currently both in good working order. Both chapels have disabled toilet facilities.

During election times both of the chapels are used as Polling Stations by the local Council.

In total there are currently 22 members although we are pleased to see new people meeting with us whenever they come. There are approximately 30 that meet each Sunday morning which is encouraging for a church in a rural setting like ours.

The balance in hand at 31/08/2022 is £81,160. The accounts have been confirmed at the church

member’s meeting and examined and approved by Mr Daniel Roberts BA, FCA Cottons Accountants LLP, 1 Billing Road Northampton, NN1 5AL. (Chartered Accountants),

The accounts have been attached.

“God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us”. Romans 5:8
