## **Trinity Methodist Church** 

## **Charity no 1129942 –Annual Report September2021 – August 2022** 

We welcomed a new Minister Rev. Greg Obong-Oshote, replacing Rev. Helen Watson who moved on 

to Reading after the 5 year service custom in the Methodist Church. 

The attendance at Sunday services was limited by social distancing. Elderly members were reluctant to 

resume church attendance so we provided a zoom transmission. We continued to follow Government 

and  The Methodist Church guidelines over COVID transmission: let fresh air in; wear face coverings in 

areas of high risk; get tested and self isolate if necessary; keep good hygiene measures in place; and 

respect the concerns of people who don’t feel confident in enclosed spaces. 

The Church Council meets twice a year to review activity and implement Methodist Conference 

decisions. This year a vote was taken on using the church for same sex marriages. It was decided 

that the membership was not in favour at present. 

Our premises hosted groups providing: 

- A) Charlton Park Academy for young people with disabilities 

- B) Alcoholics Anonymous groups 

- C) Keepfit, Pilates and other fitness groups 

- D) After-school activities in Music, Maths and English classes 

- E) Saturday Tamil Group activities 

Sadly our lunch club has not re-opened, another Covid casualty. 

Alan Beacher, Trustee
