ELBURTON METHODIST CHURCH
TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT TO THE CHARITY COMMISSION
– AUGUST 2022 AUGUST 2023
We continue to be an active church with a membership of around 70. We actively support our members with weekly Sunday worship, pastoral visiting, and groups such as Methodist Women in Britain (MWiB).
We are building our mission work within the community, though, as with many things, this is still recovering from the impact of the Covid 19 epidemic. We have a monthly Messy Church which engages local families with young children who do not regularly attend Sunday worship. We continue to offer Monday lunches to the older community. Our premises are well used by outside organisations which helps to promote our position within the village.
The current account stands at £15k approximately and the Business account at 16p. In addition, we have the Building Society account of £31k and funds held at TMCP of over £18k. Income through the weekly offering remains stable. We raise money for other charities, as well as our own funds, through after service coffee, monthly coffee morning & raffle, table top sales, ad hoc collections, and take-home collection boxes for Action for Children. We have now moved on from supporting the Beramphor hospital with our morning coffee collection and in future donations for Sunday morning coffee/tea etc will be going to Action for Children.
We have upgraded our IT and music system, for which we were blessed to receive a District grant as well as a £2k donation from a member, which reduced our outgoing considerably. The front of the hall has been decorated with a professionally painted mural which has greatly increased our visibility within the village.
Rev Darren Middleton continues to inspire us to share God’s love and message amongst our congregation and community, and our volunteers work tirelessly to keep our Church going from strength to strength.
