## **Report from HWMC for Charity Commission – Year from September 1[st] 2021 August 31[st] 2022** By September 1[st] 2021 services and activities were almost back to normal at HWMC. Weekly morning services saw fewer worshippers, partly because there was still a fear of Covid, but throughout the year we had steady congregations of between 15 and 24. A joyful and successful Harvest Festival with Parade was led by Deacon Sarah Jane Rigby; the annual Remembrance Sunday Parade Service attracted an unbelievable number of attendees and we did not have enough seats to accommodate them all. This year’s Mothering Sunday Parade Service was also successful, with members of the uniformed organizations taking part. Our usual Advent, Christmas and Easter services were held, plus a Christingle Service during December for children in our ‘Tots & Co’ group and in the Preschool which meets on our premises. During the year two children’s baptisms took place. We held a well-attended Jubilee Cream Tea to celebrate our Queen’s 70 years on the throne. In August we held a successful Cake and Coffee Morning in our front church garden, with the aim of showing neighbours that our church does not only exist inside the building. Our church membership numbers remained constant. Two new people were received into membership but two of our longstanding members died during the year. We were pleased to welcome two of our Tuesday Lunch Club members into regular worship with us. Most of our activities continued to take place: Tots & Co, Wesley Guild, Guildonian Players, Tuesday Lunch Club and Table Tennis Club. However while one of our longest standing meetings, Women’s Own, continued to meet through the year its leader decided that for health and age reasons she could no longer continue and, sadly, this group closed. The pastoral needs of congregation members endeavour to be met by our pastoral leaders. A Rainbow Group and Brownie Pack continued to meet weekly and we were preparing to welcome a new Guide Pack after the summer break. We were fortunate in receiving some legacy money and used this to replace, with double-glazed sealed units, inadequate windows in the church. Our Property Steward continues to ensure that our premises are maintained safely and to a good standard and dedicated member keeps our grounds and gardens in good shape. Two trees were planted during the spring: one was to commemorate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and the other in memory of church friends who died during the pandemic. Our Treasurer looks after our accounts carefully and looks out for better deals where contracts which are up for renewal are concerned. With the help of TMCP we are currently dealing with a renewal of lease situation regarding a charity which owns a building in our grounds but for which we hold the leasehold. **Pamela Coles [Church Steward]** **RECEIPTS & PAYMENTS ACCOUNTS - SEPTEMBER 2021 TO AUGUST 2022** |**Receipts**|||||**Payments**||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |**2020-21**||**General Accounts**|**2021-22**||**2020-21**|**General Accounts**|**2021-22**| |**£**|||**£**||**£**||**£**| |**-**||Gift Day|-||**19,346.40**|Circuit Contributions|21,496.00| |**1,900.89**||Tax Refund/Gift Aided|1,476.07|||Circuit Donation|5,300.00| |**3,342.60**
