SHREWSBURY EVANGELICAL CHURCH
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE CHARITY COMMISSION for the year 2021
Regular Activities
We continue with our meetings for Public Worship twice each Sunday at Mereside Community Centre at 10:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.. Visitors were present at several of these services, some from outside the county and a typical morning congregation would have 35-40 people in the congregation.
Following the Covid-19 lockdown our midweek meetings (usually on a Wednesday evening) for Prayer and Bible study were replaced by Zoom meetings over the internet, but since the rules have been relaxed these meetings now take place in a member’s home.
Our usual quarterly church meetings for church business were also suspended and replaced by a report from the Pastor of the church, but again these have been recommenced in the usual fashion.
Young peoples work has been fully resumed. A children’s bible class takes place every Thursday at 4p.m..
Finances
The Treasurer manages the finances. Funds are donated voluntarily by members, regular attendees and visitors. These funds were used for paying the minister’s salary and expenses, expenses for visiting preachers, rental of the meeting place and the support of several missionary societies.
There were no serious incidents to report.
