The Pastor Rory Mcclure is now in his twelfth year of ministry. There has been challenging, consecutive Bible teaching throughout the year and the Pastor has continued recording both Sunday services and posting them online. The church has continued to grow. Some of our elderly members have died during the year of which one was a Trustee, Nina Mills. Financial support for our work has improved as we have a monthly rental income from the church cottage. Encouragement in the practice of the Christian faith: During the year existing Church members have been encouraged in the practice of the Christian faith through regular services, good Bible teaching and fellowship meetings. Two main services have been held on Sundays. The morning services have attracted a wide age range of people, and the average attendance has been over 60 most weeks. The Evening service is regularly attended by 18 to 30 people. Home Groups continue to meet and encourage people in the Christian faith and offer care and support. Weekly Prayer meetings have taken place on Zoom. A day Retreat also took place. Seeking new followers: One of the ways to advance the Christian faith is to engage in sharing that faith with people of different faiths or none. The posting of our services on YouTube has resulted in several new people attending services. Some have attended after viewing the website. We are pleased that new members have integrated into the church well. These folk have been attending the church services regularly. The Tuesday Fellowship afternoon teas have continued and are regularly attended by 20- 25 people. A Saturday afternoon Skills Swap Shop continues to encourage folk to share their skills with others by practical demonstrations and workshops. There has been a monthly church walk, Skittles and fish and chips evenings, Carol services and Sunday lunches when all in the community are welcome and invited. The church now partners with the Community Fridge Second Chance Café to offer a meal for those in the town who are in need. Missionary and outreach work: During the year members of the Church have been able to Maintain support for different Missions and Christian Charities. Church members have been kept informed about these ministries. A small team were able to take services in a local Care Home. In August, a summer camp in conjunction with other local Churches for children aged 9- 11 from local primary schools was held at Lodge Hill campsite. Church members through the church's funds made donations to the Operation Romania Trust, Good News For Everyone, Slavic Gospel Association, Tearfund, Release International, Wycliffe Bible Translation, Bible Text Publicity Mission, Morning Star, Caring for Life and local charities Turning Tides Homeless project, CAP and the Littlehampton Food Bank. Coffee mornings were held to raise funds for SGA, Operation Romania Trust and Release International. The church continues to work with the local Littlehampton Churches group. Members took part in a march of Witness on Good Friday. The church is a member of the Sussex Gospel Partnership which offers Bible based training courses and conferences for church leaders and members across Sussex. The church continues to be a member of the Evangelical Alliance. Pastoral Care: During the year the pastoral care of Church members has continued to be a priority. Home visiting and care home and hospital visits continue. Members make regular phone calls, help with practical issues when needed, deliver flowers each week, provide lifts to hospital appointments and the Pastor offers support and counselling to those in need. The Church has been able to help members in several ways, for example, financial matters, and links with the local authority and supporting families in the community. The church is continuing to try and support those that are in great need. Use of the buildings. The buildings continue to be used by groups from the local community. Slimming World meets every week on the premises. The following groups Arcade Knitters, Littlehampton Flower group and the Beaumont Flower group and the Littlehampton Wl are open to members of the local community and provide opportunities for meeting together. The building was used as a Polling Station for the General Election in July. It is clear from the above report that Parkside Church Trust has demonstrated during the year ending 31 st July 2024 that their work in the advancement of the Christian faith has been for the public benefit.
