Report of th• Trustees

Achievement and perfonmance
Charitable activlties
Introduction
This year saw the fvll return to the normal pattern of activities and services in the church and, despite several people
havin9 considerable health prob5ems, attendance generally has been good and broadly on an upward path.
People
The membership of one individual was terminated due to his long-tenn failure lo attend or correspond with the church,
and it was known that he had been in attendance at another church in the area. The termination was made public at the
AGM which took place after the period covered ty this report, but had been in hand well before, and rt was only delayed
ecause of communication difficulties. Another member had moved to another church and had tende￿d her resignation.
One member. who had b￿n a long-term resident in a Ca￿ home, moved lo a similar institution in Cardiff and remains a
'member living out of the area,.
One regular attendee at the coffee mornings passed away during the year and the family requested that the funeral be
held at Ebenezer.
Accommodation
Apart from the very start of the period covered by this report, a full programme of ServI￿S and activities has been
followed. Most things have ￿turned to nomal levels of attendance or tr￿tter. We are constantly alert to the need to cater
for the needs of individua15 and seek to n7inimise the effects of any inadequacies of the premises. One example of this
has been the decision to hold prayer meetings and RBT {read the Bible together) in the main auditorium and in Ihe
downstairs schoolroom on a￿ernate months because people with hearing problems find the upstairs accoustics more
amenable while some wth mobility problems find downstaits more a￿SSible4 Inevitably other issues have apPea￿d as
a re5uItI
Meetlngs
The Annual General Meeting was held on 29 June 23 The number required for a quorum was 18 and the attendance
was 19. In the event no issues were raised which required a vole and the meeting was largely a report-giving opportunity.
The trustees meetings and Pastor and Trustee meetings were conducted mainly al the chapel and covered a wide rangè
of issues.
Sunday seNices were mainly well-attended and despite the loss of members during the year the overall numbers
have not diminished.
Weekday and weeknight services all returned lo full 'normality at the chapel during the year. As indicated abovè, the
arrangemenls for prayer meetings and RBT now seek lo cater for various pe(¥Jle's needs by alternating between upstairs
and downstairs. The attendan￿ at RBT meeb.ngs is , however, disappointing
The ladies, group resumed meetings in the chapel during the year.
There has been no resumption of regular meetings in an old people's home, but opportunities have been taken as they
have arisen.
The parent and toddler group resumed during the year, bul the toddlers have tsken some lime to ￿ ach previous
numbers due to many of the earlier group having started school.
The young people's work is now confined lo groups." 11 16 year olds and over 16s. This is due lo the fact that those
from the younger groupl have now erther left or become of age for the 11 16 group. There have been no younger ones
coming in though it is still our desire to see such ￿ntacts developing.
Other Activities
The church aims to support the Nealh food bank by collecting contributions in the form of food and other necessities as
well as cash, three times a year - al Christmas, Easter and Harvest. These ￿ntributIOnS have been much appreciated.
The church again published its own calendar with texts and views mainly of the locality and olFEr parts of South Wales.
Over 2,000 of these were distnbuled before Christmas and the responses received have been very favourable.
Misslonary Support
The church continues to have conts¢t with 8 number of missionaries and missionary organisations and financial
support for these has been ongoing throughout the year. Twelve such indiwduals and organisations are supported
during the course of the year and each month a report is given on the 'mission of the month, and all are given an
opportunity to donate to that parb'cular wort, adding to the gift the church makes.
