**Trustees’ Report 17[th] March 2022** Our commitment across Tynedale is to see vibrant Christian communities which introduce people to life in the Kingdom of God and help people to live as followers of Jesus Christ. Another year has been massively impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. We have sought to continue our work faithfully within the restrictions that have been imposed. Many things have continued or resumed in hybrid form, using a mixture of remote and in-person means, including pastoral care , worship, fellowship and study. Some activites have been able to resume in some of our buildings, with Covid-security in place in keeping with Government and denominational requirements. The financial giving of our members has largely been maintained throughout the pandemic and we are very grateful for that. Nevertheless our financial position has been impacted, mainly through lack of revenue from lettings, and we are using our Circuit’s reserves. This, together with the general trend we had previously, has prompted us to review our mission and ministry, including the number of ordained ministers we have in the Circuit. The Circuit will soon have to make a decision in the light of its finances and will have to reduce the number of ordained ministers. This will inevitably have an impact on what the Circuit does, and churches will have to be less dependent on ordained ministers and Sunday services. As we look to the future we have been considering what it means to serve God in this area and how we can do it most effectively and efficiently. We anticipate great community needs arising from the pandemic, including: - Additional mental health issues, arising from loneliness, exhaustion, stress and bereavement - Economic challenges from inflation, unemployment and debt - Poorer public health, partly through people not accessing routine health care during the pandemic - Spiritual searching in wider society is expected to continue and increase. To help us to respond to these needs, to free ordained ministers from some of the burden of administration and management, we created the role of Enabling Services Manager. To keep the benefits of a greater online presence we appointed a Communications Co-ordinator. These posts equip and enable us to work differently and more effectively. In all this, our priorities within our churches remain: - Enhancing the quality of our worship services - Developing small groups for learning together, pastoral support and prayer - Building confidence in sharing our faith with others. Taken together, these will ‘equip God’s people for works of ministry’ (Ephesians 4:12), multiplying the impact we can make. The ordained ministerial team contains a wealth of experience and complementary talents and works well together. The same applies to our lay people. We are heavily dependent on the work of lay people at every level and it’s safe to say that everything in the Circuit is a collaborative venture involving lay and ordained. As Superintendent I wish to thank all for faithfully playing their parts and giving of their prayers, time, money and enthusiasm, without which this wonderful work would not be possible.
