Annual Report Stewards Report. December 2019 ## Advent The Launceston late night shopping event was a great success and as usual Central welcomed many visitors. The church was decorated appropriately and the hall was packed with people of all ages who were coming and going throughout the evening. Refreshments, which included mince pies with clotted cream and hot drinks, were served by the Action Group. The children a a variety of craft activities and the ever popular Bouncy Castle to keep them happy! On the 1st Sunday of Advent we joined our friends at St Mary’s for the beautiful Advent Carol Service at 5.30pm when several of our congregation took part by reading Lessons. At Central our Advent and Christmas services were well attended and included a 245 Christmas reflection, two Carol services, the all age Christingle and the Crib service for younger children on Christmas Eve. ## January 2020 The annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity saw our local churches meeting together at Launceston College for an uplifting time of worship and fellowship. We helped to serve coffee to approx 250 people after the service. ## February 2020 This month we launched the Month of Sunday’s Mission which was due to take place throughout the Circuit with church and community based events culminating in a special Mission event on Easter Sunday evening. ## March 2020 The Month of Sunday’s Mission was a special time for us at Central. Visiting preachers led our services and we experienced a time of great blessing and spiritual growth as the weeks went by. March 15th was a particularly full day and during the afternoon a service of Thanksgiving was held for our much loved member and property steward Barry Greenaway. As it was the 3rd Sunday of the month we were in the hall for the evening and a packed room was led in worship by our singing group and the Rev Steve Wild. Many people have said that it felt like we were on the ‘brink’ of something that night. As we made our way home we had no idea that, due to the Covid crisis and impending lockdown, we would not be meeting again like that for a very long time! We trust that during this time of absence from the building we have been learning and experiencing more about what it means to be the people of God in Launceston and beyond. ## From June 2020 A huge “thank you” to Pauline and Sue who, following two exacting years as Senior Stewards dealing with the Stationing Process, and much more besides, passed the baton to Kathryn and Cathie in June 2020. As Pastoral Visitors they continued to regularly contact their own groups, and pray for them, and encourage others to do the same. We took over early in the Covid epidemic and, although the first lockdown was gradually lifted, we had the task of keeping up to date with countless updates of both Government and Methodist regulations for the safe use of premises in ever-changing circumstances. Several Stewards’ meetings were held and a number of risk assessments completed. The Church was prepared, with a lot of help from various people, to open for private prayer sessions, although open worship was not permitted. In the event, we did not open. As at the time it wasn’t clear how safe it was to bring people together, we decided to wait until our new Minister arrived. We were not able to hold a Farewell for Rev. Malcolm, or an official Welcome for Rev. David, but six of us did meet each of them outdoors, in July to wish Malcolm and Jude well for the future, and in September to try to put David and Liz in the picture as to how Central works in a normal year. We were subsequently able to hold face-to-face services in the church, in both October and December, albeit not at all as usual, but it was good to be together. Planning, paperwork and dealing with day-to-day issues seem to have been the business of those two months up until August. We have been so grateful for the prayerful support of a good many members and the work that so many have put in to help and keep in touch with both our own members and those in need. Above all, the overwhelming love of God has kept us going through a very difficult time and we are sure that He has a plan for us for the future, however that future may look. ## Treasurer’s Report for the Financial year September 2019 to August 2020 The Church accounts for the financial year ending 31st August 2020 have been audited and accepted as correct and are attached below. From the accounts it can be seen that income exceeded expenditure by £15,603. This is due to the amazing gift day in October 2019 which raised £24,000. We have found that since the Covid 19 pandemic we have very little income from lettings and, of course, loose cash from the collections. We had hoped to spend our excess income on new lighting and heating but are holding off till we are back to normal. Thank you to all who give so generously throughout the year and on gift days.

Christmas 2019 was a highlight when the whole group led a carol service, with a large group of staff and residents. We all enjoyed singing all the old favourite carols, and a very interesting but simple talk, complete with lots of visual aids, was given by Sheila Burt. At the end we tucked into mulled wine and mince pies and chatted to the residents. An innovation I tried was to take in some percussion instruments each month when it was our turn. With some lively hymns and enthusiastic playing by the organist- usually Gordon Maunder- this met with moderate success, but people soon lost interest. However, I enjoyed it and banged my tambourine and shook the bells with vigour! The service also included a short talk, usually based on Bob Hartman’s children’s Bible, and prayers and concluded with a cup of tea and cake. We hope and pray that these times will have been blessed by God and introduced people to faith in Him. ## Open The Book I have been part of this group for the past 4 years, going into Egloskerry and St. Catherine’s school each week to take assemblies. We follow a set programme, prepared by the Bible Society. It starts with an introduction, followed by the narrator reading the story from Bob Hartman’s children’s Bible, with the rest of the team acting it. Over the years we have built up a considerable collection of costumes and props, including lots of children’s costumeswe include children In the cast whenever possIble and there are always plenty of volunteers! The assembly then ends with a conclusion and prayer. What a privilege it is to be able to share our faith each week with about 250 children and staff. Please pray for those who hear the message, and that it will have some impact on the children’s lives as they grow up. Also, pray for the future, when we are finally allowed back in to schools. ## South Petherwin House Group. The Covid lockdown has regrettably hit church activities hard during the past year. This house group has been no exception. Consequently, face to face meetings have been relatively few: this is especially true of home meetings and in addition to church worship. During the period from late September to early March last year we met fortnightly on Wednesday evenings in Trelinnoe Close and have continued discussion and prayer strongly based on the video ministry of Jeff Lucas about expressions of our faith locally as well as in the global world. These covered some of the implications of our walk with Jesus with an emphasis on these practically and socially. We have been looking at the church in India in a series entitled 'The Impossible Dream?'. This all sounds a bit dry but really it is far from that! When Covid abates and restrictions eased others will be welcome to join. Please see Central's newsletter in due course. The initial meeting (whenever that is) will be a brief recap to set the context before we resume our look at the Indian church. Do give it a try! ## Report for Thursday Drop-In Due to the Covid restrictions and the vulnerability of our client group we have not met since March 2020. When we are able to meet again we ned to review this group and consider whether we meet as previously or look at other options such as joining with the Church 4 New Life or The Salvation Army. ## The Ladies Fellowship Group The Ladies Fellowship Group last met in March 2020 when we went bowling at Trethorne. Unfortunately we have not been able to meet since due to the pandemic. Hopefully our monthly meetings on the first Thursday of the months will be able to resume some time later this year. ## Costa Bible Study From September 2019 we met on Monday afternoons as usual to study the Bible and discuss how to apply its message to 21st century living. Most recently we have looked at G.Howard Mellor’s “Embracing Grace”. Our Costa afternoons generally involved much coffee, lively debate and often hilarity. This ground to a halt when lockdown came in March 2020, until easing of restrictions in summer 2020, when we occasionally met in the carport at Elmslea, which has the virtue of being sheltered while still being outdoors. We were of course limited to 6 at a time and was fairly sporadic until the autumn. We look forward to the time when we can meet together once again in the coffee-shop and be a witness in the town. ## Central Methodist Church Launceston Tuesday Group. Our Group's programme of activities began with the AGM in September 2019. We had an enjoyable evening playing skittles followed by a delicious savoury supper in October. Christmas was the focus for the next two monthsbeginning with a handicraft evening in November and a Devotional meeting in December. Launceston Golf Club was the venue for the New Yearmeal. The last meeting we had together in February was a talk and slides on South Africa. There were some interesting speakers booked for the next six months but had to be cancelled by the lockdown. Hopefully it won’t be too long before our meetings willbe able to start again and those people will be willing to come to join us. ## Christian Aid Report (August 2019 to September 2020) Launceston Area Christian Aid Action Group started 2020 with a service to conclude the raising of £5,000 for the Ghana Project with a service at Launceston Central Methodist Church on Sunday 25th January. It was attended by Katrine Musgrave who talked about how the money would be spent. This service also incorporated a Christian Aid exhibition which ran until llth February. Approximately £50 was raised from this. Jack Levis donated £195 from his 80th birthday celebrations and £164.30 was raised from Lifton Chapel’s United Service. Various other amounts were donated by other Chapels and we thank them for these. Unfortunately due to Covid19 hitting there were no Lent Lunches and all other Christian Aid events were cancelled. Jill Stone, who was the representative for Cornwall & the Isles of Scilly, left the organisation at the end of June. Katrine Musgrave has now taken over Devon as well as Cornwall. Chris & Julia would like to thank the committee for the work that they do and look forward to working with them again when things return to normality.  ## Cedar Grange Care Home Monthly Services The monthly services organised by Central Methodist church for the residents of Cedar Grange Care Home had to end early in 2020 due to the coronavirus outbreak and the concerns of the Care Home staff for the wellbeing of residents. In face, our last service was held in February 2020 when we celebrated St Valentine’s Day. We spoke of the eternal love of God for us all compared to the fickleness of teenage love. Little did we know that we would not be meeting our friends at the Home for another twelve months. While the lockdown restrictions continue we will obviously not be able to meet. However, we would ask all members and friends at Central to uphold the residents and care staff at all our local Homes in prayer ## Community Breakfast We prayerfully considered ways to engage in mission and thought it would be a good ideda to connect with the community by offering a free continental style breakfast every two weeks in our church hall from 09.15 to 10.15. This was advertised through Facebook and by word of mouth. This was quite successful in that it gave some of our congregation the opportunity to engage with those from outside of the church who would not be willing to attend a service. And in a low kay, non-threatening and friendly way. We were also able to offer some food parcels of ambient fareshare items mainly bread and cakes that were kindly donated to us by Launceston memory café who use our church hall for their meetings. These were always gratefully received. Numbers were growing steadily, relationships were being built, prayer was being offered. We added in background audio and video through our PA systems and later a kids activity craft table to the point where it started to look and feel like a ‘messy church’. It was quite difficult to get volunteers to man it but we always managed. It was bubbling along nicely until the Covid epidemic put an end to it. Temporarily we hope. ## Connect We started this at the end of the alpha course because the students, some of whom had recently come to faith, wanted to continue to meet together in fellowship and to grow. We did ‘the bible course’ as our first project and this proved popular and drew one or two others in. We tried to keep the cooked meal aspect of alpha going but this became too much of a commitment so we dropped it in favour of coffee and biscuits with the odd visit to the chipper. We had plans to turn it into a midweek service as Janet would have wished but the numbers dropped away and it became unrealistic to meet in the church hall which was in any case required for fee paying activities. We spent a few weeks in main church as it was the only space not in use and used the video and audio facilities to run a small service. As winter approached it didn’t seem appropriate to heat the church for a small group so we moved into the entrance porch. By this time we had become a prayer group and a small hardcore team spent most of the winter of 2019/2020 on a Thursday evening huddled around a small fan heater in the dark praying some very big prayers some of which are now coming to pass. Then Covid came along and Connect, like everything else, came to a halt and eventually got replaced with zoom. I’m delighted to see that ‘Connect’ still lives on in a zoom context with largely the same personnel in the comfort of our own homes and led by Rev David. The vision that Janet had those years back is very much alive and well! ## Homeless The homeless shelter had been unused for around ten years and was being used as a junk room. We had a ‘God prompted moment’ when a homeless young man came to our attention sleeping in a tent in sub-zero temperatures. The room was cleared out, made reasonably habitable and our friend took up residence. And stayed for quite some time. His story did not end well but we did our best. Covid came along and we had another resident who was with us for some time until he was rehoused by the council. So far we have had 8 residents in just over a year. Some for a couple of days and some for a very long time until they are healed and ready to move on. We offer love, acceptance, hospitality, food, clothing, warmth and a secure place to live. It’s not ideal out there but we have tried to improve it as we go. This has to be done in the midst of a global pandemic. And is our calling……….. ## Foodshare I’ve known the volunteers at the Launceston Memory Café for quite some time. They use the church hall for their fortnightly meetings. They have a contract with Fareshare which means they pick up surplus food from local outlets which are Tesco, Lidl, Coop and M&S several times a week, mainly Friday and distribute it to their clients over the weekend. On the weekends that they don’t meet they have no outlet and it mainly ‘goes to the pigs’. They have very kindly made their surplus available to us, which is mainly bread and pastries and we have made it available to members of our congregation during our community breakfast and after the service and also to those whom we know would like some help. This came to an abrupt end due to the Covid epidemic. Then in late July, we were given the opportunity of join with Holy Trinity Brompton in their ‘Love Your Neighbour’ campaign by collecting food from their Plymouth hub at St.Matthias. This is sorted into boxes and given to those who need it. Starting with Val and me and the back of our car and using our kitchen table and Peter Hazard from Cuthbert Mayne doing the same. We now have 75 households ‘on the books’ and delivering boxes to over 200 adults and children. In addition we are able to give back to the memory café for their 36 households. We have a dedicated distribution centre in the Dingley Hall and street level storage in the room underneath. We have 22 volunteers to fetch, sort and distribute and an active prayer team meaning that everyone gets prayed for daily. We are associate members of Fareshare and collect from their distribution warehouse in Estover every two weeks. Both us and Cuthbert Mayne have received grant funding from Cornwall County Council. Our rounds are growing by about 10% per fortnightly cycle and the need continues to grow. The purpose is to demonstrate God’s love on the doorstep through the act of giving food and standing with people in their situations ## 245 The evening service on the second, fourth and fifth Sundays of the month were designed to be of a more contemporary style. The music was led by a band or group of singers from another church in the circuit or ISingWorship with people leading the singing from the front. On the fifth Sunday it was often more informal with a bring and share tea followed by singing and discussion. On the second and fourth Sunday we had a coffee time when someone would be invited to share their life’s experiences over a coffee. The speakers were drawn from a wide area and a wide range of experience resulting in some challenging times. An opportunity for prayer was always available and a coffee and a chat at the back of the church at the end. JMA It would have been nice to organise an event perhaps at Coads Green (as the children are active with JMA) but alas, like everything else, this past year it was not possible. At Central the children take turns to hold the donation box at the front of the church for donations. Although we have hardly been in Chapel this past year some have given cheques for the donations they have missed. ## ’ - Report on Children s Work at Central Methodist Church Sept 2019 Aug 2020 There had been a pattern of having a Family Service on the first Sunday of the Month when the children would stay in to the service and it included items aimed at the children. On the third Sunday of each month we had Club Sunday when the children only stayed in for the very beginning of the service and were then taken up to the Epworth Room for appropriate teaching and activities including games, crafts, stories, videos, songs and included a drink and small snack. With only a small number of children attending the morning services it was decided to keep the children in the service and provide activities for them to do during the service, mainly craft based activities. The children were also provided with opportunities to join in with the worship, singing, playing instruments and using ribbons to dance with; also reading scriptures and receiving the offerings for JMA, Junion Mission for All. After the Covid lockdown when the Church was reopened it was decided to provide individual craft activity packs for each child to enable them to stay in their family group and minimise the sharing of equipment. No creche facilities were planned for the present time as there were no creche aged children attending the services, however toy bags were available for any visiting children under 5 years of age. ## Kidz Club A club for children aged 5-11 years took place on the third and fourth Friday of each month in school term times, from 5:30-7:00pm. It included a variety of activities, cooking, craft, sports activities and table games, followed by a snack of fruit and biscuits with a drink; and ended with a short video clip or short talk plus one or two children’s worship songs with access to the dancing ribbons which were very popular. We welcomed up to about 15 children each session and had up to 8 helpers to run the club. We had hoped to increase the numbers attending the club following the summer holiday club which was very well attended bu this had limited success. We also tried to encourage more children to come along with our Community Breakfasts twice a month where we planned craft activities and access to sports equipment after the breakfast; and had worship songs playing during the event. With the Covid19 situation a decision was taken to stop the club until further notice. ## Music Group For some time we have had no alternative forms of worship other than the church organ and the use of ISingWorship. All very good but we can, must and will do more. So let’s get together to see what we can do about this and find out where with God’s help our fragile musical ability will take us. We have a few volunteers some of whom can sing a bit and a couple who can play an instrument. Some well, others less well but we all have a heart to worship and a willingness to serve God to the best of our ability. We can meet at Kathryn’s house every couple of weeks to have a practice and a jam session and sing love songs to Jesus. And some of our friends who are more experienced in worship leading in a different church and are happy to be off duty want to come in and join us and pass on to us some of their skills and have fun. We are willing to have a go from the front and although it isn’t perfect it’s well received by the congregation. We don’t have a full group of musicians so we need a bit of support so we will keep using the backing tracks for the time being. But hey, we can try this song without the vocal tract and sing over and it works. And that song works ok with a piccolo and that works. And that one can do a Capella. Trying out stuff and pushing the boundaries. Getting better by doing it and being brave and bold. And yes, it’s a faff setting out the gear for a five minute slot and putting it all away afterwards but it’s worth it. And ok, the desk has once again let us down and trashed what we planned and made us look and sound like a bunch of muppets but it’s worth it. And ok, not everyone is into waving ribbons and dancing but the congregation seem to like it and it’s worth it. There’s life in the place and kids engaged and it’s worth it. And now we’ve done a few Sunday morning slots and led a few 245s and we are getting more confident and competent. And this time we’ve filled the church hall and supported Steve Wild and the room is packed and it rocks. And we have other groups of people who will sing from the front on different occasions so it’s not just us. And they do and it’s good. And we are doing solo sets with other people in other settings for other churches and it’s nerve wracking and it works and God is good…. Then Covid comes along, lockdown happens and the Steve Wild gig becomes the last live one we are going to do for some time, perhaps for ever. And we are all into zoom now and it’s ISingWorship and YouTube videos again. But wait, could we produce some home grown worship? We have other musicians in the circuit. We have Edward and Jess who are willing to come in, practice and be recorded, we can add titles and whizzy graphics and put some organ based stuff out there and the congregation like it. And the Hoskings are happy to try stuff, record it and put it out and the congregation like it. And can we try one of those UK blessing type things, put it out and will the congregation like it? Yes we can and they do. And do we have other musicians who want to come in, practice, be recorded and put it out there? Yes we do. And are there other musicians amongst us and in our community who would join us at some time in the future? Yes there are. Endless possibilities if we are prepared to be brave, bold and faithful to Him. And God is still good…. ## Organists We are very fortunate to have the musical talent of Richard Cottrell who, not only played for morning services but was also available to play for funerals if required. Kathryn Broad, John Beere and Jenny Worth continued to share the morning services—Kathryn playing for the Christmas Carol service for the first time. When services resumed after lockdown, although singing was not allowed, hymns were played on the organ before the service to provide a bit of normality.
