Edmonton Methodist Church Annual Report for Year Ended 31 August 2024

We are a diverse community of people originating from many different countries. The annual statistical return in October 2024 showed that we had 295 members. There are just over 800 people on the church’s community roll.

We have come together in response to our Christian calling. We strongly believe that our unity in Jesus Christ is a powerful Christian testimony as we endeavour to serve the present age. Thus, we are committed to contributing to the wellbeing of each other through the following mission statement:

Our Mission Statement

Affirming our calling to ‘serve the present age’ through our faith and discipleship in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Be an inclusive community that cherishes the diversity of talents, culture, race, age and gender. We seek to work in partnership with other churches through existing or new ecumenical mission agencies in our local area.

Learn to give special attention to the spiritual, social and moral well-being of all who are part of our church according to their need and circumstances.

Enable our members to advance issues of God’s mission, through social justice and peace, while advocating policies that protect the environment.

Our Vision

Our Planned Future Community-Oriented Projects

It is our strong expectation that, the rebuilding of our church will enable us to be more practical in carrying out our motto: ‘Serving God’s people in the Community and in the Church’. Consequently, after some in-depth consultations in our local community, the following activities and community projects will be our immediate objectives:

Aims and Purposes

Edmonton Methodist Church Council has authority and oversight of the Church, including the management of its property and finance and, crucially, its pastoral care of members and friends. Its responsibilities include the setting of our aims and objectives and governance including finance, property and health and safety.

Our Primary Purposes are:

  1. The provision of regular public acts of worship open to members of the church and nonmembers alike.

  2. The provision of sacred space (a building) for prayer and contemplation.

  3. The teaching of Christian doctrine, principles and practices through sermons, courses and small groups.

  4. Pastoral work, including visiting the sick and bereaved.

Objectives and Activities

The Church Council is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our church community.

When planning our activities for the year, the Church Council has considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our Church through:

Worship and prayer: that is thoughtful, relevant to the situations both of those who attend and of the wider world, rooted in the goodness of God.

Nurture and learning: developing understanding of the gospel and knowledge and trust in Jesus.

2

Service: providing hospitality to community groups, running groups that are of benefit to the wider community, children and youth work, taking an active interest in the affairs of that community.

Evangelism: promoting the Good News of God in Christ Jesus and encouraging others to consider the way of discipleship alongside Interfaith dialogue.

To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain the fabric of the church buildings and the funds to enable us to do so. We also adhere to and regularly review the Methodist Church’s Safeguarding Policy including Safer Recruitment.

Achievements and Performance

Worship and prayer

Our Sunday morning worship is the principal gathering with average weekly attendance of 200 adults and 40 young people and children. The 10:45am service has one Holy Communion, one all-age worship and two or three preaching services most months that enable people to worship God and follow Jesus, on a cycle of all age worship and more traditional worship too. Again, it has been good to welcome new people in the course of the last year, both those who remain as part of our congregation and those who, new to the area, are seeking out a Christian home.

In addition to the Sunday services there are occasional, festival and other mid-week services particularly in Lent/Holy Week.

As well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. During 2023/2024, we hosted 4 marriage blessings, 20 funerals, 16 baptisms, 2 confirmations and welcomed 7 new members.

Baptism Ministry

The Baptism Ministry team continues to carry out its duties. It involves: getting to know the () prospective families; arranging for the necessary forms to be filled in; confirming dates with our minister, Revd. Valentin Dedji, and arranging a meeting between the family and Revd.Dedji, in the church vestry or at their home. E> lightDuringfor Baptism you belong a candleto Christ.is lit andChrist theis followingyour light wordsand your way. are said, “ReceiveAs light is this essential to all life and growth, so is Christ to the whole world”. A Bible and certificate are handed to the parents.

Nurture and Learning

Our Sunday Junior Church remains active, with an enthusiastic core of youngsters and appropriate recognised leaders. Our Junior Church and Young People's Fellowship (YPF) make a significant contribution to all-age worship throughout the year. They are also very active in supporting the Circuit at the Sunday Fundays.

Edmonton Methodist Church Junior Church children attendance numbers have been increasing. The leaders have been very dedicated. The children are becoming very vocal during their questioning about what they have learnt in their group. We continue to encourage their spiritual growth.

The children contributed in the Christmas service in December 2023. The children have been very involved in the youth services on the 3 Sunday of each month. We pray that the Lord continue to bless the parents, leaders and children as they grow in their understanding of Christ.

Most of the young adults are very active in the circuit youth club which meets on Fridays from 5 — 8pm term time only. They have also been involved in the circuit youth worship service which is being held the 2"4 Sunday of each month and is overseen by the youthworker.

Regrettably, since the Covid19 crisis, our Brownies group is no longer active. The Boys’ Brigade Company continues to be a regular part of the church’s life although many of them worship on a Sunday at other churches.

Youth

Our youth continue to make significant contribution to FUSION, formally known as the Young Adult Group (YAG) with the group meeting every last Sunday of the month in our church. This group of young people are growing in knowledge and are eager to develop their personal Christian lives as well as wanting to know how to contribute to their community.

The vision of this group is as follows:

Women’s Fellowship

Thanks be to God for His mercies, protection, healing and blessings for us during this year irrespective of the challenges of life.

Meeting day is 2"¢ Saturday of every month from 10.30 to 12 noon and occasional Zoom from 7.30-8.30pm, due to weather and clash programmes on Saturdays. Total number on roll is 26 and averagely 6-16 attend meetings. Meeting consists of praying, sing hymns and songs, exercise sharing the word of God, testimonies and deliberation on issues, events and programmes.

We continue donated to ‘Feed the Hungry’. Also, the Fellowship denoted £300.00 towards the purchase of Church TV screen.

Mothering Sunday service was organised and taking by women fellowship. Members sung their Anthem during the service.

Women in seven days of prayer, continued through WhatsApp.

We also help cleaning of the church and its environment as well as flowering ministry.

We actively participated in Methodist Women in Great Britain both Sector B and District activities such as district service, fund raising, Quiet day and summer activities.

We supported our sister who were not well visiting and praying with them. We lost a sister Jean Prendergast, supported her family during the difficult time through prayers and full

6

participated in her burial service and funeral. Two sisters lost their husbands and tow their mothers, we were there for support them through the sad moments. Regular visits to a sister who is in Nursing home.

We are trusting God to do more in the coming year.

Music Ministry

The last couple of years were very busy for the music ministries, we have never stopped. Putting Jesus first in our lives, lifting up our voices to God the Father with one accord, and becoming invisible within our talents so His message shines brighter. Where the Holy Spirit is active in our life, where we are experiencing God like never before.

At Edmonton Methodist Church ministry we have various arts and music teams. The Music ministry team consists of technicians who operate the visual and audio sound engineering system (4 members) and the main choir, (10 members) and on some occasions a worship team. We are constantly increasing the involvement of our music ministry by inviting, accepting and training anyone who wants to be part of our ministry to keep the church making a joyful noise unto the Lord.

Our worship at Edmonton is filled with music of all different kinds, providing the soundtrack to our worship each and every Sunday together with live playing of the instrument (keyboard).

We are truly blessed at Edmonton and our music ministry exists to teach us of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the promises inherent in it. It reminds us of the sovereignty of God and all he is capable of doing. We continue to be loyal, positive, patient, flexible, caring, humble and a strong influence on our church.

Service

The church buildings remain extensively used by the local community for various functions such as birthday parties, traditional wedding ceremonies, funeral gatherings. We make our space available to let to a number of different groups including NOBLE LADIES, Bible College, Ghanaian Community and an Indian Dance tuition group. We continue to provide food for the local food bank. Caring for those in need has long been a way Methodists express and commend their faith. During the course of the year, collection for our Benevolent Fund was used to maintain our support for Action for Children, Methodist Homes, Christian Aid, and Methodist Women in Britain as well as emergency appeals. It is good that these efforts on behalf of others can be combined with opportunities for fellowship and indicates the breadth of our concern for God’s world.

One-Off Lettings

Shortcomings

Regrettably some activities e.g. A day nursery would not take place due to heating and other problems with the building we could not overcome and size of Hall for Hire.

Future Community Organisations to use our new Premises

Evangelism

Through Confirmation and the activities of other groups we have given people an opportunity to discover and grow in faith. The New Year Watch Night Service again allowed

8

over fifty visitors to worship and see in the New Year with us, many of whom we only see on this occasion. Baptism Services have allowed many people who wouldn’t normally attend church to see what church is like, hear about the love of God and hopefully receive a warm welcome.

Wider relationships

The church is part of the Enfield Methodist Circuit. Six members of our church are elected by the church council to be part of its managing body, the Circuit Meeting. Our Minister in Pastoral Charge is an Enfield Circuit Minister and leads worship in Circuit Churches on a regular pattern. We also liaise with the London District of Methodism and wider Methodist Church of Great Britain.

Edmonton Methodist Church is part of the Faith Forum for Enfield. Ordained ministers, lay leaders from different church denominations (Methodist, Evangelical, Baptist and Pentecostal), together with Faith Leaders (Muslims and Jews) belonging to the said Forum, meet regularly on quarterly basis for breakfast meetings. During such meetings, issues related to peace-building in our local communities feature prominently on the agenda. Prayers of mutual support are also offered. We still have contact with the local Rumi Mosque.

Property and Finance

There has been a growing recognition that our existing premises are not ideally fit for purpose. The buildings are what remained after the large adjoining Central Hall was vacated in the late 1960s and subsequently demolished. The present worship area was originally a large hall, and is situated at the rear of the buildings. The other rooms and facilities are also poorly laid out. Moreover, externally, the premises present a very bleak, unwelcoming face to the community that the church is striving to serve.

The seating capacity of the church has been increased by 50 in the last twenty years by the addition of a balcony but we are already running out of space again. We have been exploring various possibilities by which we might be able to undertake the redevelopment of the present premises of the church.

Our Vision: To rebuild our historic church, formerly known as Edmonton Methodist Central Hall, to make it fit for new priorities and challenges of God’s Mission in our local community in this present age.

Our objective is to equip the church’s new building with a number of modern facilities, in order to serve in the best possible ways, the youth, the elderly and the needy in our local community.

We continue to progress with our application for planning permission. We continue to hold meetings and updates with our team of Architects and the London Borough of Enfield Council Planners.

9

Fundraising events are continuing and donations towards the new building continue to flow in.

Reserves Policy

In line with the Charity Commission and Methodist guidelines, our reserves policy for the General Fund is to hold enough funds to cover at least six month's expenditure.

Volunteers

We would like to thank all those who freely give of their time and skills to make the church the pastorally caring, lively and vibrant community it is — to all with safety and safeguarding paramount. Sincere thanks also go to individuals and all the various groups and fellowships that have tirelessly raised funds for our new church building project. There were 75 volunteers during 2023/2024.

Structure, Governance and Management

The governance of a local Methodist Church such as Edmonton is set out in the Connexional Practice and Discipline of the Methodist Church of Great Britain. The membership of the Church Council consists of those who are members ex-officio because they are Circuit staff, church stewards, the Church Treasurer or Church Council Secretary. It also includes those appointed by the Church Council to ensure representation of the various activities of the church and those appointed by the General Church Meeting to ensure the Council is representative of the congregation. The General Church Meeting also elects the Church Stewards.

The Church Council met four times in the year. Given its wide responsibilities, the Council has a number of committees, each dealing with a particular aspect of church life. These committees, which include worship, pastoral, property and finance are all responsible to the Church Council and report back to it regularly. We seek greater inclusion and all our meetings are open to all members and friends to observe and speak at. Minutes are circulated to members and copies are accessible within the building.

Administrative information

We are to be found on Fore Street in Edmonton. We are part of the Enfield Circuit within the Methodist Church of Great Britain. The correspondence address is Edmonton Methodist Church, 300 Fore Street, Edmonton, London N9 OPN. Our Minister’s telephone number is 020 8884 0841. The Church Council is a registered charity, numbered 1127395.
