Julie spoke lo us at CCS, attended a house group and several social events in Soulhport as well as spending lime with her family and friends around the UK. Whilst she was away there were several problems with the organisations in Oruro which Julie had lo address on her return. The Angel Tree project has suffered from lack of funds and greatly appreciated the donation of lips from Café 1821 to help purchase equipment and benefit the children. Thirty or more children are once again benefilling from help with homework, hot meals, clothing, counselling and somewhere safe lo be before or after school. There was no camp for the children this year bul the team continue lo visit the Prison, Young Offenders Centre and Probation Centre. Due to overcrowding in the prison, there are still many problems and difficulties to overcome. The weakness of the £pound means that donations lo the ministries in Bolivia have decreased in value which is a challenge as prices are still rising locally.

During 2023 Matthew Hyde continued his role as administrator alongside his other duties on the finance team and as Buildings Manager. Emily Geering is employed as our Children's and Youth Worker.

Our 'slaff is far wider than those who are employed by the church or who are in a leadership role. We rely on the generous Servi￿ of all those who serve voluntarily, and indeed, we could not function without them. A big thank you goes lo all who use their gifts and talents al Christ Church in order to serve Jesus. Church Buildings and Fabric.. Matthew Hyde continued in his role as buildings manager, overseeing the running and maintenance of the building. We are very grateful to Dave Griffilhs, who is part of our Warden Team. He monitors all the fabric of the building and because of this the building has been kept well-mainlained with his due diligence. During this year the roof was replaced over the Marlin Price Hall at a cost of £33,800. Dave also takes responsibility for writing and updating all the necessary risk assessments and Health & Safely policy lo ensure that all those who come into the building are kept safe. FINANCIAL REVIEW Christ Church has been experiencing a slow decline in ir*come relative to inflation over recent years, as with most churches. In addition. periods of interregnum are known to interrupt giving and so giving was down by 12Q/o on last year and overall income by 7Qh, before considering inllalion. However, most people have maintsined their giving and some people made generous extra gifts. Al the same lime there was tight control of expenditure in 2023. Excluding the special items of the new boiler in 2022 and the flat roof replacement in 2023, expenditure was kept static despite the high inflation, especially on energy costs. Our staff received below~inflation pay rises in line with other employers. rates. As a result, we unexpectedly ended the year with the general account in surplus. In the accounts the "Unreslricled funds (the general account plus associated fLJndsl show a deficit of£29,835 which was due the £33,800 we spent on the roof. This Came from the legacy fund which contained a generous gift a non-member left us in 2021. We hope that the finishing of the replacement of the 50-year-old flat roofs leaves our building secure and safe without major works for the short to medium term. Members may be aware that the Diocese has an ongoing slruclural deficit due to churches around Merseyside being unable to pay Iheir"Parish Share. which funds vicars and curates and their housing, training, and pensions. We have once again paid our Share of £87,498 thanks lo the generosity of church members. During 2023 the fi'nance team has made efforts to simplify the WOTk involved in administfftlion. We were given permission to close the small endowment Ilrusll funds with low interest payments and capital Itradilionally unlouchablel that has been wiped out by decades of inflation, so long as the money was used in line with the original donors, wishes. The £1025 in the Mary Woodcock Trust has been released to CMS for use in South Sudan and the fabric endowments have been closed and their money pul in a new sinking fund for future repairs. This leaves us with onw one endowmenl.. the "FE Jones Evangelical Mission. with about £32,000 of capil81 in it and the interest available for that purpose. As a result, we have reduced our banklinveslment accounts from 17 to 3, maximised the interest available on our reserves, and simplified the work in managing our financial assets for the future So, God has been gracious to us. The Treasurer is grateful for all those who gave to the church and lo the Youth account in these difficult limes and lo those who gave of their own lime with maintenance, housekeeping. and accountancy skills. in addition lo faithfully running many ministries within the building, reducing our costs considerably. However, we hope lo do more in the future and that will require all members to pray and reflect on how they can continue to give and serve with generosity and joy. Members may also wish lo think about leaving a legacy to the Church, as these are an important parl of churches being able to fund occasional large bills or develop ministries in new areas. The Treasurer is a￿ayS available to answer any questions about giving or expenditure. LOOKING FORWARD In October I became the Vicar of Christ Church. l arrived with a mixture of excitement. nerves and the sense that God had called me lo this place. Before l tslk about the future I want lo say a Couple of thank yous. Firstly, a massive thank you lo everyone who has welcomed my family and me lo Christ Church. 11 has been a joy lo get to know you over my first few months here. Secondly, the last year has not been easy for Christ Church, bul lots of people have worked hard to ensure this church is a place where people can meet Jesus. Thank you to everyone who has played their little lor big) parl in this. When l arrived al Christ Church I didn't know what to expect. Yet the word that stands out lo me after my little time here is polenlial. For various reasons, Christ Church is brimming with potential like a coiled spring waiting lo be released. The words of Haggai come to mind, 'Ihe glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the 10

former house" I sense that this is not a church looking to bunker down and protect what we have, but is prepared lo be bold, get uncomfortable and follow Jesus. In 2024 we are going lo begin looking al God's vision for Christ Church. Vvhy are we here in the heart of Southpo Where is God leading us? I don't have the answers to these questions bul l am filled with excitement about how God can use a group of people that dare lo completely follow Him. And l am filled with hope about the future of Soulhporl, the town for which this church exists.
