Continued 8essatarr Evangelical Church- Cofflp3ny Number 6421374 ort of the Board for t 22- ntinued ort of tht Board 2022 We continue to rneet in The Zone which is part of Hayfield Lane Primary School both on Sunday and at various times during the week. as well as havin8 rhe use of an office in part of the buildi￿. On Sunday mornings we have worked through. Deuteronomy 1-11. Matthew 1&21. 1 Timothy ènd Psalm 63- 67. with gospel group following up the Sunday 5ermon5 Wlth Bible study_ Everybody who was with us pre- COVID is now back p05t COVID. though some are a bit more sporadic in their attendance as they catch up with friend5 and family. In ihe Summer we baptised people. Four people have applied for and were welcomed into membership. The biggest change over the lasi year in terms of number5 15 the presence every week of a group of Iranian asylum seekers who are housed at the Ramada Jarvis hotel. We have had lamilies all in tO8ether rarher rhan runn¢ng Sunday School. and th15 may continue for some time with a lack ot Sunday school teachers. Little Fishes (Parent and Toddlers) is thri￿n6 and we are seeing new mum and toddlers as well a5 the regulars. We are pretty much full a5 regards the space that we have within the Zone. and May need to think about limiting numbers in the near future. though we are reluctantto do ihis. We have run a Parentin£ Course with murns from this group this year and will be doing so again. Coffee time is back running on Friday afternoon from 2.304pm. The biggest change post COVID is that we now rn05tly have young people corning alon& student5 from year5 7. 8, and 11 from The Hayfield School and students who drop in after the Primary School finishes from years 5 and 6. We've adapted to this by having lots of card anil board games available for the various group5 Qf youngsters to play with. We have a smaller 8roup of parents who come along with their children. We meet to pray every week on Zoom on a Tuesday ai 7.15pm. Gospel group is on Thursday evening5 at 7.45pm at Al & Lucrfs house, thefe is a good group of about 12 coming along, with the hope being in the oming month5 we di¥ide into two groups or start a day time group. And once a month the Yorkie men's group rneet together led b¥￿eX and Tom. The leadership is cuffen1￿ Al Gooderham as sole elder. and ￿eX Martin as de¥on. We are in desperate need of more leaders to share the trMJrden but as ol yet God 15 teaching us patience znd tnJst in his plans and timing5. Finaneially things have been more drfficult ihis year with some extemal givers stopping giving and others within church hawn8 to make adjustments, ir ha5 left us with a significant deficit each month but which we've been able to cover with our balance, along with BEC'S generous donation to Al's wages. Opportunitses in the sthools have been limited as they have been cautious about reopenin8 to outside speèkers for assemblies. However Al has been able to go in to both yeaf 5 classes twice this year to speak about Easier and what it means and do a Q & A session at the end of their RE topic on Christianity. Our hope 15 that this year will brin8 renewed opportunitie5 in school and in the ￿mMunIty.
