## **Arnold Methodist Trustees Report 2023-2024** 

Rev. Peter Powers took over the responsibility of the church from Rev Yanyan Case but on a part time basis. People continue to return to Sunday worship and for those still not able to attend the services continued to be zoomed. 

Boys Brigade, Girls Brigade, Lighthouse Playchurch and the Mental Health and Befriending Group continued meet. Regular Community events were held organised by the Lay workers. 

Tuesday Coffee welcomes their regulars and visitors with numbers steadily rising and also gained new helpers. 

Pastorally people were kept in contact with each other as previously with a new system implemented involving a number of members with a pastoral heart caring for members. 

‘Quiet Space’ still operates at the same time as Tuesday coffee to enable anybody to come, sit quietly to pray or be prayed with. 

New members have been received into membership over the year. 

The Open the Book team continued to work together going into local Primary schools sharing Bible stories. 

Both an outdoor Remembrance service and a Good Friday service were held. A new initiative Gods Menu (Food Club) commenced in November providing food to families with a child in primary school at a low cost (Purchased in bulk from Fairshare a Food charity) 

The Craft Fair was held on the evening of the Arnold Christmas lights switch on, and the following day. 

Sadly, during the year, we lost several people and we give thanks for their contribution to AMC over the years. 

From a financial perspective there was a small deficit 

Sadly, it was confirmed that Rev. Peter Powers would be leaving us at the end of the connexional year to a full-time post in the connexion and that the circuit had been unsuccessful in obtaining a replacement. 

Rev Richard Byass would again assume oversight over the church. We would enter the stationing process for the year 25-26 for a Probationary Minister. The circuit continues to provide a written service This is circulated to those email and hand delivered to those not on email. We gave thanks to Ann Keighery for her work as the Youth worked upon her retirement. 

We continue to work with the local council and traders based in the AMP We give thanks for all those who have contributed to working of Arnold Methodist Church in the year. 

Rev R Byass on behalf of AMC Trustees
