The highlight of the past fifteen months was Louisa’s ordination at Telford on June 26[th] .  A good number of church members made the trip and were delighted to be present at this moving ceremony. 

The Stewards put into practice the Methodist church’s and the government’s withdrawal of Covid restrictions and we now worship freely on a Sunday.  The stewards are grateful for the work of the small committee that ensured we followed government regulations over the last two years. 

Stuart started Sunday services on Zoom during Covid and we are very grateful to him that he has continued.  As we are to David and Esther who work with him. Church attendances remain between 50-70 and we do often see different people joining us.  Carr Lane School continues its association with us and we are very pleased to welcome them at Harvest, Christmas and Easter. Wolfreton School also uses the building weekly for their Smash activity. 

The Circuit is being reorganised into Hubs.  We are joining with Derringham Bank, Cottingham and Askew Avenue. Conversations continue to happen with the leadership of these churches and we are more than pleased to join with them for worship, particularly now that the circuit is losing many ministers. We are delighted that Rev. Helen Hickson from South Holderness Circuit will be joining our Circuit next September. 

Church groups which hibernated during Covid are now back and running- these include bible study groups, prayer groups, singing groups and the Wives group. And they all very much part of the Church family here at Willerby. 

For the past year the Church has hosted a Covid vaccination clinic every Monday.  It has been good to be involved with the community in this, with many hundreds coming through the door.  And the treasurer has been very pleased with the rental income! 

We are very grateful for the hard work put in by our four church workers.  Jackie Kitchen retired from her job as church cleaner after more than 20 years service.  And we are pleased to welcome Sally Keena as her replacement. 

Grahame the caretaker ensures that everything runs smoothly during the week and is proving adept at small repair jobs round the building too. 

Mandy, our Family worker, continues to run Time for Tots, 



Friday clubs, Family Fun and Time Out newsletter.  During the summer months she provided activities weekly that were very well attended, and has started Chillzone – a Friday evening get together for young teenagers. 

Amy, our Older persons worker, has continued to run Familiar Faces on Tuesdays, and Mens Brunch club once a month.  She has been instrumental in the opening of the Warm Space on Fridays. Louisa and Amy have opened the Square Well as a Warm Space every Friday since November as a response to the energy crisis and the problems of heating people’s homes.  It has been very well received by church people as well as the community and some really valuable conversations have been had.  Amy is about to go on maternity leave and we hope to fill the position temporarily for a year. 

We celebrated the Queens Platinum Jubilee with a full day for the community on Saturday 4 June.  This included Family Fun in the morning and a bouncy castle and games in the afternoon.  The Church family celebrated with a picnic on the Sunday.  We are hoping to arrange another picnic for the Kings coronation in May. 

The stewards have three main functions.  They work to support Louisa in her ministry at the church; they make sure that Sunday services run smoothly and they make sure that the 1001 things that go on in the church building during the week also function properly. We are delighted that Janet Slater and Julian Wild help us with looking after the preacher and opening the Sunday service with a prayer, and also to Judy Poyner, and Steve and Judy Jowers who have helped with Communion. But as we have said many times over the year, there is an urgent need for new people with new perspectives and new ideas and the energy to put them into practice, to carry WMC forward. Please, please give this your prayerful consideration. 

## Finance report 

Following the last Church General Meeting held in December 2021 the issue of the budget deficit I reported was discussed by the Church Council who decided we would ask the congregation to consider increasing their giving. This was done and I can report that Standing Order collections have increased by around 10% and two very generous donations were received. In January 2022 we were 



approached by a pharmacy to run a Covid vaccine clinic one day a week for an undefined period of time. In the event this ran through to the end of the financial year and beyond. The combined impact of these improvements to our finances resulted in a surplus of £12000 leaving us with a total of £69000 in our General Fund, £39000 greater than our reserves Policy requires. 

Turning to the current year we are forecasting a deficit of £8,000. However, room rentals are expected to exceed budget by £5500 better than the budget mainly due to the vaccine centre continuing to operate until the end of January 2023. However, it was decided by the Church Council to polish the hall floor following concern expressed by the Saturday morning dance class about the possibility of the children picking up splinters, at an unbudgetted cost of £3300. It is forecast that we will end the year with a deficit of round £5800.  The Older Persons worker leaves on maternity leave in midMarch and it has been decided to recruit cover for the one year of this absence. The cost in the year to 31[st] August 2023 is around £5500. The Trustees of Helping Hand who donated their outstand cash balances of £5542 to be used for older people’s work following closure of the charity have agreed the Church can use this money to pay for the maternity cover. 

I will soon be preparing the budget for the next financial year. At the present time there are three issues that will affect the next financial year :- 

1. Room Rentals. We currently receive around £23000 to £24000 in room rentals. This is significantly higher than rentals we received in the years immediately prior to the Covid shutdown. It is important we maintain this high level of use of our premises. 

We currently purchase our gas and electricity under three-year supply contracts. Because of this our costs have not been affected by the turmoil in the energy markets. These contracts come to an end in 2024, electricity in April and Gas in July 2024. It is difficult to predict how our energy costs will be affected at this time but I expect they will increase. 

We have received the last tranche of the grant for the older persons worker. We will need to look at how this income can be replaced. 

## Outreach 

Excellent work continues from both the Family worker and the 



older persons worker. Time for tots runs regularly on a Wednesday as does the Friday club weekly and the new Chill Zone for older children once a month. The Family Fun remains popular on a Saturday morning once a month. The familiar faces for the older congregation is still popular every Tuesday when a meal is provided every other Tuesday with a coffee morning and a film morning on the alternate Tuesdays.  The men’s Brunch club continues to be well attended.
