e		 The object of the charity
is the advancement
ofthe Christian
faith for the
benefit ofthe public
in accordance
with the Scheme of Union ofthe
United Reformed
Church.
The New Testament
reveals the Church as a community
of people,
properly
taught and cared for, who are committed
to love and care for
each other and to bring a blessing to the area in which they live.
Members
of the church are encouraged
to join one ofthe housegroups
that exist within the church to foster deeper fellowship,
to encourage
more committed
discipleship,
and to enable and foster personal
and
corporate evangelistic
concern.
During 2020 the Coronavirus
pandemic
impacted
all ofthe activities
ofthe church.
Worship:
Fulfilling
the objectives
in preaching,
teaching
and showing
practical care in the community,
in the normal teaching
in the Church
on
Sundays
at our weekly 10.00am service, and
in the housegroups.
In
2020 Messy Church
continued
to meet monthly
on Saturday
afternoons
in January
and February,
and on Zoom from September
onwards.
The
monthly
Church Prayer Meeting,
held on the first VVednesday
ofthe
month continued,
meeting
on the premises
when possible and otherwise
on Zoom. On 12'" December a Community
Carols on the Car Park was
held.
Summary
ofthe main
activities
undertaken
for the
public benefit
in relation to
these objects (include within
this section the statutory
declaration
that trustees
have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission
on public

Finance, produce and
practical voluntary
help was given to other charitable
organisations
operating
in the Guildford
area such as Besom, Matrix Trust, North
Guildford
Foodbank
and the No. 5 Project, as well as on occasion to
individuals
at the discretion
of the minister. We also set up a hardship
fund to assist those known to us who are struggling
and this was used to
purchase
a cooker for a family
in need. Monday coffee morning
continued
in January
and February
but was suspended
thereafter
because ofthe pandemic,
as was the bi-monthly
Lunch Club and monthly
Film Club. The Guildford

Against
Poverty (CAP) Debt Centre
continued
in partnership
with other local churches,
hosted on
Westborough
Church premises,
visits with clients taking place remotely
for most of the year. We gave regular financial
support to CAP and
supported
the Guildford
CAP Job Club.
Bringing support to churches and individuals
serving Christ
elsewhere
in the UK and overseas: The church supports
missionary
endeavour
overseas through
relationships
with particular
individuals
and
the churches
or agencies they work through,
based
in France,
Zimbabwe,
and Redhill (UK). Monthly
collections were made for the

offinancial
support
and news shared

encourage
our praying.

Club) met during
January
and February,
but has been suspended
since. During the year
the post of Lay Pastoral/Outreach
Worker was advertised

possible to make an appointment
during 2020.
In 2012the church adopted a living church
profile, as part ofthe URC's
Local Mission and Ministry
Review process, which is being used by the
Trustees to guide developments
in key areas of church
life. The priorities
and ob ectives identified
