Trustees Annual Report
For the year endln8 September 2024
Through the year New Life has malntalned Is actlvltles, support and glvlng.
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. Supporting overseas work
Our value of supporting mission work overseas has continued as follows:
Supporting
financially giving to a YWAM worker in North India, Nepal and the Himalaya region
supporting a child in Africa through Compassion

supporting a married couple in Kallmpon& North Indla who oversee Christian
outreach and training in the region
8iving a financial gift to a another YWAM worker performin8 Outreach work In Africa
and Nepal
supporting the work of the Blble Soclety
4. Plans for next year
Our core values remaln undiminished.
S. Grant making policy
Gifts to external organisations and individuals are considered by the trustees on the basis of
need and fulfilment of the charitable objectives. There are no upper or lower limits of
support. All regular gifts are reviewed on an annual basis.
6. Risk management
All major insurable risks are subject to normal Churches insurance. Contrattual risks are
reviewed before entered into to assess that they could not significantly impatt upon the
Church's ability to fulfil its objettives.
7. Trustees
