REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES During the year the maln way the church sought to achleve the calllng of Chrlst upon it, have been as follows: l. Fulfilllng the vlslon to teach the Bible to all age groups Our Sunday mornings, have been focused on Blble based teaching. The majority of the teaching was undertaken by members of the church. The services are an important part of the church, providing an ongoing support and source of encouragement as well as a much- needed supply of prayer and teaching on Christian value5. We encourage youth to be involved in the life of the church. They are involved in playing in the music and worship team, helping in crèche/children's groups, setting up the hall and some have given talks to the church. The provision of 3 8ible based Sunday School on a Sunday morning also fvlfils our vision of the gospel for all ages. In addition, the church paid the cost for the children of church families attending the New Wine Christian Festival. The two messenger groups, church chatter and NLC prayer chain, continue to be helpful in communicating within the life of the church for support and encouragement. The church leaders have also visited many in the church, providing pastoral support and prayer. 2. New life in the community We have continued to put on events that the community can enjoy. We have held a number of social events including men's breakfast. summer fun day, arts & crafts times, games evenings and church lunches. There are also a number of regular gatherings for prayer groups, home group and worship evenings. We held a candlelight service at Christmas with contributions from several members of the congregation and youth. Our Sunday gatherings continue to be well attended by individuals and families across the local area. We have continued to support the The06 projett which currently has Graham Harry working for it. Gift vouchers were given before Christmas to some families suffering financial strain. 3.
