Achievements and performance
We are happy to report that our congregation numbers have remained stable.
Summary of the main achievements of the charity In September we had our Community Day outreach which was well attended, and everything was free including a BBQ, activities for all ages that attended including a children’s entertainer and an during the year afternoon tea café. In October and November, we ran an Alpha Course which was well attended including 10 people from the community who do not come to the church.
The Yarnigans (knitting & crochet) group is still very well attended on Thursday mornings and twice a month on a Wednesday evening. The majority of these ladies are from the community and do not attend any of the services. A lot of their work continues to be given to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital and other neonatal units.
We continue with our monthly online YouTube service which has an average of 30-80 views which is a great encouragement to us.
All of our weekly activities seem to be growing in numbers.
