Liberty Church Pentecostal Ministries Annual Report
 For Charity Commission (1[st] Feb-’21 -31stJan’22 )

    Charity Number - 1061710

We the Trustees of Liberty Church Pentecostal Ministries
have again worked very closely with the Church in
accordance with our Governing document. We always try to
keep the Church informed of what is happening as we are
all part of the same body. We also try to keep them
informed in what is going on in our town and also in our
Nation.

 The Church re-opened after lockdown on 4[th] April’21
(Easter Sunday). As required by law, the Trustees
produced a Covid risk assessment stating the safety
measures that were implemented: Posters were made re
social distancing, facemasks, hand washing and hand
sanitisers.

As the Government required Church meetings to be as
‘short as is reasonable’, we initially met once/week at
6-7pm on a Sunday evening-

(1) One Sunday/month was for Breaking of Bread
(Communion); pre-filled Communion Cups and wafers were
purchased.

(2) Two Sundays/month were prayer meetings (we also
fasted on these days, which we usually do)

(3) On the remaining Sundays we had Bible teaching discs.

On 04/07/21 We resumed our weekly Sunday morning Breaking
of Bread service, our Sunday evening Prayer meeting,
Wednesday evening Bible Study and Friday evening Prayer
Meeting including our monthly Day of Prayer and Fasting
for our Nation.

In September ‘21 a Church member was added to the
Oversight, who later became our Secretary, and therefore
a Trustee.

As per our Governing Document, Church members continued
to visit people in prison, we also had our annual
collection for Christmas presents for Prisoners children.

Money in lieu of buying each other Christmas cards, was
given to Armenian Ministries.

We continue to distribute ‘Goodnews’ papers at Easter,
October and December.

We also send Annual donations to various other Christian
Charities and to individuals, as need arises.

As we were unable to make up Shoeboxes for the Operation
Christmas Child outreach done by Samaritans Purse, the
items that had been collected were donated to Armenian
Ministries.

Bible thoughts, singing a solo, reading from a daily
reading book of Scripture, or sharing a testimony.
