Someone once sald to me. "Gt)d moves at 3mph". The saylng makes me smlle,
because it $u99eSts thal G(Kl rnoves at a steady walk. God doosn't spnnt. but nor
does G(MJ cease to rTKwe. If Ihal sawng is tn, thgn th8 same should be said of hls
church. It is when we move at the rMJht pace that we never f811 loo far b&hlnd to
become irrelevant, yel nor do we scury forward eager to keep up with the fads of the
day and forget who we truty are.
In this report W8 vill celebrate Ihe steady walk of pro9r8ss in many areas ol d)urch.
However, thère are also some areas of church life in which we have fallen behind

There are of cour8e many more teams Ihat need our thanks, such as the y8yer team. the local weaclw8 who gve so much Ilme In weparatlon and dellvery, those that make cakes and serve refreshments, the blble readers. the communion stewards. the table hosts at calé church, and Soo Webgler who keeps us legal copynght. Leamlng and Caring The Pastoral VI10¥ wntinue to do a marvèllou$ lob In maklng sure that the Church activety supports Its mefflber5. Pastoral Visito really are al Ihe heart of Church. and we would not be who we are blithout them. so don't forget lo thank yr pastoral visitor for what they do. E8¢h year we need to identrfy a few new pastornl vlsltors as others Lne to a point of needing to slep down. so rf Y are beiNJ called to thls then please do speak to Anne Cravrfo who so expertty heads up the t8am of p8$toral visitors. The church has 8 number of housg groups as ¥11 as additional small groups Ihat m8et on a Tuesday.

In doing so the church ¥Ylll affim) Its ca)mmllJiient to the
of18aming toggther In our falth, as w811 increase our levels of trlendsttip and care levels. Evangellsm The churth is not strong on EvarwJelisffl and relies upon 2 maln mini8tr1es for this purpose: alpha and the 6ch)ols exp8rienc88. The alpha conlnu8S to wn regularty and is fruilful, though not always In ways thal the main tKKty of the church wouhj see. Some ol the Alpha alumni att&nd worship nights or other churches, Whe oth&r8 have grown but will need furth8r walaring ol the sgocl of farth. W8 are gralelul to Lhe Alpha team who dodiL* wogk after week lo run the course and must also fflenllon those who bake kosl The schools experience conkn'nues to go from strength to strength. Rev Brenda Woods conlinues to oversee the programme but has built up a good team of leaders to suppjrt this, who are further supported In the delivery of the school experience by people from High St and other churches. The evKlenc8 ol the strength of the programme Is that every schcol koèps coming back again arKI agaln to hear the goLwJ news of Jesus Ihrwgh tha èxp6rl8nce programme. It really Is somethiry lo eletxatel Though an ecumenical projecl, the Tt)wn Centre Chaplaincy does come under the authortly ol the church councll. This outreach conts.nuos to do very well. with more chaplains iolnin9 the leam. Ther8 are a number of days wtr there is r#)w a notable and ¢Mslstent Chaplaincy present in the community. This yaar has also seen the Introdudon of a chaplain tent being ere¢i8d once a week In the town square, It would be good to see a few mcye members from High Stroet on the tearn.

This remains well used by the wblic and SUPF#Yted by a leam of volunteers that is headéd up by Margaret Mayc<)ck and Healher Davis, with some administrative support from David Limmw. Any prqect that a church invests iesources into. shoukl do more than jusl serve the communty, twt must do so from a dlstlnclly Chrlsti8n vlewwint. For the wthole of Ihlg

3. Accoun�ng policies
Basis
These accounts have been prepared on the basis of historical cost except that investments are shown at their market value at the end of the year, on the accruals basis to show a true and fair view of the Church'’s financial posi�on and ac�vi�es.
Income
Income is included in the Statement of Financial Ac�vi�es (SOFA) when the Church becomes en�tled to the resources, and the trustees are reasonably certain they will receive the resources; and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Expenditure
This is recognised when a liability is incurred, or a construc�ve obliga�on arises, that results in the payment being unavoidable. Liabili�es are recognised as soon as an ou�low of economic benefit is considered more likely than not under the legal or construc�ve obliga�on commi�ng the Circuit to pay out resources.
Grants
Grants made by the Church from its own funds are recognised in full at the �me of agreement or when the Church accepts that there is a legal or opera�onal obliga�on to make the payment. When the grant is recurrent over more than one year the balance payable in future years is treated as a provision for future commitments in the Balance Sheet against the appropriate fund, the provision being released in future years as instalments are paid in accordance with the originally agreed terms.
VAT
Since the Church is not VAT registered, all input VAT is charged with the expenses to which it refers.
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and individually cost at least £1,000. The freehold property is shown at cost..

Section C Notes to the accounts
1. Basis of accoun�ng
Chari�es: Statement of Recommended Prac�ce (SORP) applicable to chari�es preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Repor�ng Standard for Smaller En��es applicable in the UK (effec�ve from 1 January 2015) – the Chari�es SORP (FRSSE) – in replacement for the SORP’s 2005 version specified in its related 2008 Regula�ons and in accordance with the ‘true and fair override’ provision contained therein.”
2. Funds
The funds held cons�tute: General Funds held for any purpose of the Church which are Unrestricted. Restricted funds which are held for a narrower purpose including those for internal organisa�ons. There are also the following Endowment funds as listed. Details of each material fund are disclosed in note 16 . Any funds may be represented by more than just cash.
3. Accoun�ng policies
Basis
These accounts have been prepared on the basis of historical cost except that investments are shown at their market value at the end of the year, on the accruals basis to show a true and fair view of the Church'’s financial posi�on and ac�vi�es.
Income
Income is included in the Statement of Financial Ac�vi�es (SOFA) when the Church becomes en�tled to the resources, and the trustees are reasonably certain they will receive the resources; and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Expenditure
This is recognised when a liability is incurred, or a construc�ve obliga�on arises, that results in the payment being unavoidable. Liabili�es are recognised as soon as an ou�low of economic benefit is considered more likely than not under the legal or construc�ve obliga�on commi�ng the Circuit to pay out resources.
Grants
Grants made by the Church from its own funds are recognised in full at the �me of agreement or when the Church accepts that there is a legal or opera�onal obliga�on to make the payment. When the grant is recurrent over more than one year the balance payable in future years is treated as a provision for future commitments in the Balance Sheet against the appropriate fund, the provision being released in future years as instalments are paid in accordance with the originally agreed terms.
VAT
Since the Church is not VAT registered, all input VAT is charged with the expenses to which it refers.
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and individually cost at least £1,000. The freehold property is shown at cost..
Investment Proper�es
Investment proper�es - no property is currently deemed to not be held for the long term purposes of the charity.
Investments
Investments are valued in the balance sheet at market value at the year end. Investment income is included in the accounts when receivable and any gains or losses on revalua�on at the year end are shown in the SOFA.
Debtors and Prepayments
Debtors include outstanding le�ngs invoices in August.
Creditors
Creditors includeoutstandings rela�mng to u�li�es, telephones, etc in August.
