The PCC a8reed its vislon statement as being the following.. To See Eartboume and oll whom God colls, transfvm7ed by the gospel ofthe Lordjesus Chrlst as reveoled In the 81ble, 0$ he brlngs eternal hope to thelr Ilves, throu9h us. We aim to achieve this by focuslng on People using the 'Five Essential M's of Mini5try'. explained below, knowing that. l. Evangelism (expounding Holy Scripture to apply God's gospel to the worldl; 2. Growing the community of the Church Idisclpleshlp and ministry training): 3. Carlng for the poor: and 4. Culture change Ichallenglng what the Bible says Is destructive to the wellbeing of our community); .are foundatlon31 to who we are as a church. We have rea1ised in the past year the urgent need to win people who are in the 25-55 year age group, not because they are more important, but because we need to Increase the number of people willing, able and available to care for those less able to care for others. When plannin8 our actlvities for the year, we have considered the Charity Comm15510n'S 8uidance on publlc benefit and, in particular, the 5peclflc guidance on 'charities for the advancement of religion.: Enabllng as many people as possible to worship corporately at our church,, Enabling as many people as possible to becorne part of our church community: Teaching, baptisin8 and nurturing new and existing Christian believers,. Offering the Sacrament5 as defined by the Historic Formularies of the Church of England to strengthen personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord of all and con51Stent with our foundation principles,. Considerin8 how church services can Involve the many groups that live within the parish: Putting falth into prattice through prayer, listening to and applying holy Scripture through muslc and evangeli5m,' Offering worshlp and prayer, and learnin8 about the Gospel in small group situations; A551Stln8 people from all walks of life to develop their knowledge of, and trust in, the Lord Jesus,.

Maintaining the fabric of the church building for the town. OUR MISSION ACTION PLAN The Mi55lon Action Plan IMAPI Is an evolving document updated each year in advance of our Annual Parochlal Church Meeting. The purpose is for the PCC to provide an overview to the church of how it sees our ministrv as a church developing and to provide a rationale for the use of resource5. Managlng Blbllcal Cultures In our Church Evan pre Community hlng ICO speak Justice Minlstries alt& ght. ure our faith to These 'Four Circles, summari5e how we live as a Reformed evangelical church. 'Evangeli5m' and 'Community of the Church, are overtly 'Word Ministries,, while 'Justice Ministries, and 'Salt and Light to Culture, are outward facin8 expressions of them to the benefit of our community. However, a drawback is that these are general and not specific enough to measure our progres5. For this the PCC uses 'The Five Essential M's for a Growing Church,. Facilitating growth and change through the Five Essential M's The 5M's are a pathway- a journey from conversion to worship. They a￿ not absolutes, or about perfection, but living by faith in the Lord Jesus as he brings in from the cold into Membership of his church, teaching us his way5 to Maturity In Christ, training us to serve like Christ, and to live lives that Magnify him. They are lust one among many ways oftalking about being converted to wor5hlp God. They Show how the Spirit brings an individual from death to a life of worship of God through: evangelism Imissionl,. a sense of belonging to a church (Membershipl,. personally growing in their knowledge of God Imaturityl,. learning to serve Ilke Jesus did Iministryl,. living a life of worship of God (Magnify). This last one is not just about Sunday to Saturday but also Sunday services. These steps are.. Mission IMII, Membership IM21, Maturity IM31, Ministry IM41 and Magnify IM51. And the great news is that we do not need to do any perfectly...we just need to do them all by faith as the LORD guide5 us. You might find the picture below helpful.

In 2024 we had two Bishops, which is a rare occurrence Bishop Rob Munro in January and Bishop Julian Henderson in June, both invited for specific purposes. Bishop Rob came to assist in the baptlsm of flve candldates, four of whom were new converts. After preparation through Faith Explored, and with the permlssion of Bishop Martin of Chichester, Blshop Rob also confirmed six people. Bishop Julian spoke at the Celebratlon In Flower5 In June. Other visiting preachers included.. Revd. David Jackman, Mr Rob Cardew and Mr Jonty Rhodes. From our own con8re8ation we have heard lan Milmine speak four times, Reuben Alexander twice, and Neil Hooper. Stuart Mcmillan and Rodion Kraus all spoke once. Out of 58 services in the year, the Vicar preached at 45. Sermons have been from the Bible books of Romans. Luke, l Thessalonian5, Eccleslastes, Matthew, John, Act5, Psalms, 1&2 Timothy, 1&2 Corinthians, Epheslans, I John, Isaiah, Hebrews and Luke. The various 'Sermon Serles, Included, 'Secrets of the Kin8dom of Heaven,, 'Living Wisely, and 'Llfe In Jesus,. The Christmas sermon series was from Luke's gospel. The average attendance was nine children and 80 adults, excluding the Bible By The Beach Sunday, when we had 31 children and 335 adults. My sincere thanks go to SophSe and her team coping with the massive and unpredictable influx of children on this particular Sunday of the year. The other highest attendantes were the baptism and confirmatlon service in January, Easter day, the Celebratlon in Flowers in June and Harvest thanksgiving, Outreach Proyammes Outreach, or Mission, Is brought Into everything under the heading of Mlsslon IMI). Specifically in relatlon to Ml, Hope Explored (Thursday mornings) and Faith Explored (Tuesdays), both open the 8Sble wlth the transparent intention to read and discuss the part Jesus plays In who we are and our lives. Other ministrles such as HT Advocacy, Knit & Knatter and Holy Trlnlty Creative Studios (now known simply as Trinity Studlosl are consldered 'Side-Door' ministries provldln8 OPPOrtunSty for unbellevers to meet and befrlend bellevers as this may be their only contact with Chrlstlans and a church. These have proved successful. Membershlp IM2) is an area of concern as we continue to see many people enloy Sunday mornlng services but they are rarely seen again. This is a discouragement and means It Is hard to help these fringe attendees to grow to Maturlty In Christ IM3}. This reduces the pipeline of people learning to serve (M4). and is not seen in 8rowth of the church when we meet to Magnlfy the LORD (M5). The PCC ha5 a burden to improve M2 across the church. Recent guidance from Reach Ministries UK has reshaped our use of the 5M's for the coming year. Communlty En8a8ement We have contlnued to offer practical and focused help and advlce to many in an increasingly deprived community. We hope to Identify a church member to oversee application5 for financial grants to assist us with onEoin8 work In the parish. With the dramatic increase In the number of people coming to work in the UK and others seeking asylum, the church has welcomed everyone, whether on their own or within a family. We have been assured that English remains the best language to reach the majority, although we have sometimes struggled to learn complex names and unexplained cultural values. Baptisms, Funerals and Weddlngs We were grateful to Bishop Martin for the permlssion granted to Bishop Rob Munro to assist in the baptisms. He also confirmed six people, within the same wonderful occasion. Bishop Rob's visit had been planned for over a year. We have hosted two funerals in the church and five at Eastbourne Crematorium. There have been no weddings. Pastoral Care Provlded to Con8re8atlon Members Pastoral Care remains under the careful oversight of myself as vlcar, wlth pastoral vlsiting being organised and advised to me by Hilary Hartley. My sincere thanks go to Hilary for her perslstent. thoughtful and caring hard work. Slgnlficant Events or Challenges Faced Durlng the Year We have encountered several challenges in the year: lil the decreasing health of many senior members who have found it difficult to be as consistent in their attendance as they once were:1111 dlscouragements to the orthodoxy of the Church of England: and liiil winning the 25-55 year olds. The PCC spent considerable time reflecting on the needs of the church and their causes. We determined after much discussion and prayer that, at the Harvest Service, a presentation would be made by myself to explain the urgency to attract the 25-55 year olds into Membership of the church. Our priority is to attract and welcome the 25-55 year olds whlle not dlsenfranchising others. I continue to have conversations with all ages to move forward carefully. Our aim is not to become a Children's Church, for we do not have a school in, or close to, the parlsh, that is not being served well by another evangelical church. Our priority is therefore to pastor our famllies well and this requires good but not excessive children and youth ministries. This has not proved easy and remalns an ongolng challenge. We will continue to have chlldren and young people mlnlstries, son85 and child-welcomin8 culture. We are 8rateful to Faith in Kids for their resources. I have been very encouraged to hear that regular personal glvlng Increased by up to 30% from January to September 2024. Thls. coupled wlth a reduction In the cost of the ministry team, has brought our regular Monthly income closer to our regular expenditure. It 15 unllkely we wlll reach parlty because the exponentlal cost of energy has increased our running costs by over £10,000 a year and 8lvlng has not kept up with this. The loss of Sophie (Children to Youth Team Leaderl and Reuben Alexander (Director of Music) has put a slgnificant extra burden on myself, Llz Edwards and Ali Weaver In the church office. I contlnue to rejolce In the work of HT Advocacy (see their report) and the dedication and expertise of the HT Advocates. It has been a concern that few other members of the church have wanted to explore trainin8 as an advocate, to Increase the number of local people we can help. I hope we will explore this further In the year ahead. Trlnlty Studlos (TSI Trinity studios is a fantastlc new '5ide-Door' ministry to rub shoulders with people not connected with church. This began Ilfe In October 2024 as Holy Trinity Creative Studios. or HTCS. It was the Idea of a visitor from the United States, called Mark Leaser, who has considerable experience of writing and producln8 professional Chrlstian music. Shaped by God's answer to the psalmist'5 cry for mercy in Psalm 40.3, our vision is 'to moke greot mu51C to the glory of God to enrlch and encouroge musicions in local churches,. We started by hosting a meeting in the hall with representatlves of the local church IRevd. James Knowles. All Saints & Chair of the Sussex Gospel Partnership), the national Christian music scene IRichard Simpkin, St Helen's, 8ishopsgate and Music Ministry UK), Louis Frost, Anne Parfitt, Holly Eldridge, Mark Leaser and myself under the initial name of. Holy Trinity Creative Studios, or HTCS. Mark Leaser has now spent considerable time with Louis Frost, Anne Parfitt and myself exploring the Lord's gifting in writing and producing new Christian songs. We set ourselves an achievable 'Phase 1, 120-day target, to enter the Gospel Coalition global video song competition, of 1-2 professionally produced songs uploaded to brand new HTCS accounts on Spotify, Facebook and TikTok. Our success wa5 marked by a presentation to the PCC on 28 November 2024 and to request funding for Phase 2. The PCC was enthusiastic but concerned about how much time It would require from myself. With this in mind, we adjusted Phase 2 to a manageable '60-day target,, requiring 1-2 hrs of my time each week. Direct benefit to the church has included technical expertise on the M ixing 'Sound' desk. the purchase of a V-BOX for auto tuning of musicians, musical tracks to enrich our music. and in-ear monitors. However, the primary aim is to grow a Gospel music ministry to encourage muslclans In local churches. Under the new name Trinity Studios Is presently developing expertise in Music Production, a Song Writing course. auditioning for 'Trinity Singers, (previously called, 'Trinity Station'l and the imminent construction of a sound recording booth in the Upper Room. Ask Louis if you would like to know morel A ReflectSon on the Overall Spiritual Health and Growth of the Church Community Spiritual health is hard to measure accurately but regular attendance at church prayer meetings has been consistently good, nearing IO% of the attending congregation each first Wednesday of the month. The increase In personal regular financial giving is also a 8ood indicator of the spiritual health of the church. I have often been concerned at what feels like a lack of enthusiasm to take responsibility for new ventures and the new PCC will be con51derSng how to avoid overstretching volunteers in a half-day away, within its first few months. Heresy in its doctrine of Human Sexuality being promoted in General Synod has caused me great personal pain and discouragement. Trinity has not 'lost' many but I wonder If thSs Is because the PCC has expressed its views clearly and strongly to appropriate people. We have also written to the Bishop of Chlchester to make clear that we will wlthhold fund5 if he endorses the lamentable move away from the historic doctrines of the Church of England because we belleve that to do so wlll put thi5 charlty and its purposes at rlsk, We rejoice wlth other simllar minded Reformed evan8elical churches In Eastbourne and actively look for ways to partner with them in the work of the Christian Gospel. I look forward to the coming year and the 8ood thln8S the Lord has as we magnify Him. Revd. Phlllp Coekln (Choir of the Parochial Church Council, PCC) REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES FOR 2024 Activities for 2024 are gathered under the headlngs of Ml to M5, with reports about the Important ministries that enable these Ministries, with the aim of ensurin8 every ministry does engage in Mission, Membership, Maturity, Ministry and Ma8nifying God. Each section is colour coded as below, for ease of reference. Thls encourages every member of the church to see their servlng contrlbutlng to the pSpellne for growth. MISSION- MI Our plan is to invest In Misslon levangellsml to proclaim Jesus Christ in the Gospel In order to grow our fringe who attend irregularly and do not profess a saving falth in the Lord Jesus. Our alm Is to engage In Mlssion (Mll If we do not consider mi55ion in every mlnlstry of the church, we wlll not have people to brin8 into membership, M2. MEMBERSHIP- M2 As the fringe of church members grows as a result of Mission IMII, the second Stage of our plan IM21 is to bring people presently on the fringe into engaged Membership of the church family. We will do this by focusing on the 'Whys' of what we do rather than just the 'Hows'. For example, we welcome people on Sunday morninBS to help bring them into saving faith in Jesu5 Christ and good trusting relationships within the church. Our 'Welcome' is a 'love issue,, and not just doing a job orn the rota. As people engage in the practical life of the church by serving others, we see a need for growth in Christian Maturity, M3. MATURITY- M3 Ephesians 4 explains that the purpose of a church is to equip its members through growing spiritual maturitv. It also explains that this is largely a ministry of the church leaders by teaching and explalnlng the 8ible. Christian Maturity leads to unity and trust. It protects a person from being tossed back and forth by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming (Ephesians 4.13, NIVI. Christian Maturity allows steady and robust growth in the individual. Our vision for greater Maturity IM31 drives our preaching, Growth Groups, church Bible studies. prayer meetings and specialist teaching events requested by church members as they engage with the world around them. However, as Maturity leads to greater engagement it lead5 to more Ministry IM41 which means to serve like Jesus Christ. MINISTRY- M4 As we think about how we are growing in Christian Maturity in every ministry of the church we will learn to serve (same word as to minister) at cost to ourselves like it was for Christ. This is summarised in M4. Everv member is encouraged to give up their lives to follow Him. We sometimes refer to ministries that lead to growth in the congregation as 'vine work, done by the work of jesus. who is the 'Vine Dres5er'. In contrast, we refer to ministries that support growth of the vine as 'trellis work,. A trellis is essential for the healthy growth of the vine,. but it is not the vine. The people are the vine and the church administration and fabric are the trellis. One is dependent on the other. one serves the other. The ultimate goal of every church we believe, is to worship. or magnify. the Lord IM5}. MAGNIFY- M5 If the chief purpose of humankind is to glorify God and to know hlm forever, we aim to do this in every one of our minlstrles as a church. Just as the previous four M's play their part contrlbutSng to the next M, the church will grow as more hearts glve thanks to God for what he has done for them in Christ. We see this to be an important correctlon to how we fulfil our purpose. If perfect joy is found only In God, then our greatest jov should be in the worship of obedience to hi5 word and the loy of gathering with his people. We do not think we have emphasised our need to enjoy corporate worship enough. which in itself Scripture says will be a testlmony to the 'outsider'l Ma8nify IM51 seeks to rectlfy this so that the church grow5 to the glory and praise of God and not ourselves. MISSION (MI) 'Teams to evangelise the town, Hope Explored Hope Explored is one of Trlnlty's Growth Groups which meets in the Hall at 10am on the 2nd and 4th Thursdav of the month. Bible study Iwith cake) for ladies, Including a creche when appropriate, It has been advertised and talked about at HT Club with the mums who attend. This year we have studied the books of Esther and Isaiah. We're currently working our way through Don Carson's excellent 'Understanding SufferSng' podcasts. Sue Coekin Falth Explored FaSth Explored has met most Tuesday evenings, between 6.30-8pm, with good attendance. Attendees are largely under 30 years of age with very varied educational backgrounds. We completed john's Gospel using the 'Word I to I, materials and have since moved on to Christianity Explored. Please pray that these individuals might come to know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. Revd. Philip Coekin Celebratlon In Flowers {CIF) Following 2023's very successful CIF for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. In 2024, with Pauline Goss's encouragement and guidance, a dozen ladies designed and created flower arrangements for our theme 'Songs of Praise,. Celebrating with 15 carefully chosen songs and hymns ima8inatively and creatively illustrated in flowers. Over the course of the weekend more than 300 people visited Holy Trinity, enjoying the flower arrangement5, refreshment5 and homemade cakes, and a children's guide. There were a variety of events appealin8 to a large number of people so that there was something for everyone. On the Saturday, Eastbourne's Pop-up Market took place in the hall, with up to 30 stalls showcasing a vibrant and diverse range of local sellers and small businesses, includin8 local car boot sellers. handmade crafts, antiques, collectables and jewellery. On Saturday evening Noteworthy Volces, an East Sussex chamber choir, entertained us with an evening of beautlful muslc, Includlng arrangements of many of our illustrated hymns. and a glass of wine in the interval. On Sunday morning we held a Guest Service to thank God for hls beautlful creation and our place within it. During the service we sang many of the illustrated songs and hymns, and heard from the former Blshop of Blackburn, Julian Henderson. On Sunday afternoon, Eastbourne Silver Band led a rousing celebration of both their repertoire and more of the Illustrated hymns. with cream teas on sale. All of the above was made Possible due to a wonderfully large team of church members who helped with the creation of the arrangements, acted as stewards, served refreshments or donated financially to the event. Sue Coekin Men's Curry Nlght In 2024 we continued our Men's Curry Nights. We had two 'regular' curry nights taking place at local curry houses with between six and 12 people attending. The third curry night took place in the church hall and we had an authentlc, home cooked curry. There were 18 men at this event. Rich Osborn Good Companlons Good Companlons is open to the over 50.5 from HT and the Eastbourne community, but we warmly welcome everyone particularly to our special meetings. We enjoy playing a varlety of games. cards, dominoes, scrabble and quizzes. We also try various crafts with varyin8 degrees of success but a great deal of laughter. Maklng cards Is always popular. We have made some beautlful necklaces and bracelets. lavender bags and postcard paintings. As always, our favourite activlty Is chatting and much laughter. We have enjoyed many special activities including keep fit with Margaret, painting with Louis. some beautiful singing with Andrew and Stuart with lots of hymns and even an Elvis song, and a quiz with Beryl. As part of a wonderful Christmas party, we learnt to play carols with handbells. Sometlmes we just extend a coffee, cake and chatter time - givin8 our team è perfect tSme to chat wlth old friends and welcome new members. During the sesslons we have a talk. Many of our team have shared personal experiences of their walk wlth the Lord or shared a favourlte hymn or Bible passage, The group continues to grow slowly through leafleting and a great new banner outslde Church. We work closely with Knlt and Knatter and many of their members now come to Good Companions or just the special events. Thank you to HT Advocacy for their help and sending new members. I would a150 like to thank the younger Church members who help set up the hall before our meetings. Of course none of this would be possible without the amazln8 team who are 50 SUPPOrtive and enthuslastlc and work so hard to create such a friendly carlng club. Doreen Hodgson Chlldren and Youth In some ways, there have been major changes within the Children and Youth Ministry and, In many others, it has stayed the same. Our main priority, that we would teach the gospel to the children and youth in Eastbourne, is just as important to us as ever. Sophie stepped down as 'Children to Youth Team Leaderf in June and stepped into 'Children and Youth Volunteer Coordinator.. This new role 15 largely similar but done in a voluntary capacity in her evenin85 and weekends. She has found It a loy to be able to contlnue in the work with the team and our young people. however with some challenges. For example, growth is slower and less time is available. The team have been amazing at stepping up to support Sophie in her new role. We have gained the wonderful Wilmot but sadly lost Helen to another church. The team have continued their high standard of teaching the Bible and carin8 for the children and one another. We have had comments from some HT Club mums, 'You all really look Ilke familyl. HT Club is continuing with its Series looking at God made. God cares and God saves. We have one mum comin8 to church regularly and another Grandma seriously thinking about who Jesus is and what he might have done for her. We have built strong relationships with the families. and it is a privilege to continue to make new friends and strengthen current friendships as we tell them the good news about Jesu5 every week. There are some famllles consldering joining us on a Sunday. Please loin us In prayer for them that they would come along. Sunday Club is split between c￿chel0-3$l.

Stopping Shortly after learning about King David, to cover some of his songs in Psalms. In the New Testament we have seen how Jesus is the amazing King in Matthew and John. In the run up to Christmas, we saw that Jesus is so much more than 'just a baby in a manger, from John, Colossians, Philippians and Hebrews. Sophle and Anne Mcmlllan organi5ed the expansion of Roots Into Saturday Club which started In September. Saturday Club is split into Heroes (School Year Reception to Year 41, Explorers (School Years 5-91 and Roots (School Years 10-131. Heroes have lots of fun, baking through the Blble as they learn about Jesus and make some yummy treats along the way. We have had a few older siblings and families join us from HT Club. Explorers and Roots start off together and then spllt so that they can have their own teachin8. We have been lookin8 at the 8ospel of Luke, to see the amazing things Jesus did and to see what we believe about Jesus for ourselves. Our church famllles have been Invitln8 thelr friends along. Some of these friends have even come along to church on a Sunday and to Sunday Club. We have had lots of events thls year Includin8. but not limited to, Easter E88Stravaganza, Light In the NIEht, Saturday Club Christmas Party and the Christma5 Story. All of our events have enabled us to be in contact and share the good news about Jesus with many families across Eastbourne who keep In touch wlth us. Some have corne along to HT Club, Saturday Club and a Sunday mornlng. We are contlnuing to build those relationships with families in Eastbourne and we are very exclted to continue to share the gospel with theml We are most grateful to God, our help and our sustainer (Psalm 54'.41, who has brought us through this period of chan8e and is settling us into our new normal, Sophle Davles-jones MEMBERSHIP {M2) 'Teams to drow thefringe towards the core. Knlt & Knatter The group has continued to meet throughout the year. My thanks 80 to those who kept the group running while I was unavailable. The numbers varied considerably, up to a maximum of 15, though some weeks we had only six or seven. We have been able to provide a lot of blankets to various organisatior15. We gave the following.. in Januarv six child-size blankets to a local creche,. August 12 blanket5 to Street Pastors; September - 12 blankets to Barnabas Aid,. December- seven blankets to Street Pastors. We have also shared a Blble verse each week and a prayer at the end. It is noticeable that most members are keeping the various verses and reading them again and again. If anyone ha5 to leave early, they will often ask for the prayer to be early so as to share in it before they go. Several members have also joined Good Comparbions. Hilory Hartley Adult Art Workshop Every week on Monday at 3-5pm, we have had about 10 to 12 people attend the art workshops. Throughout the year we have done many different activities, and have seen some new faces join the workshops. The 10 support I get from the church members is wonderful and everyone plays a small part to help, for example making tea, or cleaning the paintbrushes. I find it a real blessing leading the art workshops and have seen much improvement from everyone involved. What I love about the art workshops is that there is a mixture of age, ability and faith. Having some non-believers interacting with believers is great because when we sometimes pray as a group or talk about Jesus in a discussion, the non-believers are listening and watching. A gentle approach to Side-Door ministry. People have expressed the fad that it is not always the art activities that make them attend, but the calming environment or an environment that echoe5 Posltivity. Louls Frost Brlng and Share Lunch From April to August we had 8ring and Share Lunches on most of the last Sundays of the month. It was a great time with many of the church famlly involved In setting up, providing food and having great fellowship with one another before clearing up. If you would like to be involved in arranging some for 2025 please talk to Sophie. Sophie Davies-jones MATURITY {M3) 'Responding to the Word of God, Growth Groups There are currently six growth 8roups meetln8 twice a month mostly on a Tuesday or a Wednesday.

Revd, Phllip Coekln HT Pray$ The first Wednesday of every month, both mornln8 and evening, has seen a varlety of leaders from the cong￿gatIOn lead the church in prayer.

This can be done via the off Sce. We would like to say a bi8 thank you to Lesley Daw50n for all her hard work and time producing the monthly prayer dlary. She has now stepped back from dolng this job so if anyone would be wllling to take on this valuable work Llz would be very grateful.

Ali Weaver HT Bookstall From September we began to trlal a monthly bookstall to be held on the last Sunday of each month in the chapel. We offered a selection of books on a variety of topics that help build and challenge our faith and bibllcal understanding. Obviously we cannot match Amazon prices as we have to cover any postage and the char8es we incur by using the card reader. However, we do try to offer a discount on the recommended prices. We may also be able to order specific books for you. If you have read any good Christian books that could bless and encourage others please do recommend them. Thank you to those who have supported it. We will be reviewing whether to continue offering a bookstall so would love any feedback from you, Ali Wet7ver Holy Trlnlty's Harvest Lunch This was held on 29 Septefflber. with 58 attending. The lunch was a celebration of all that God has been doing at HT this year. The main course of roast gammon was provided, and people signed up to bring a fruit crumble, or pay £51adult and £3/child. Louis created and shared his moving video of thanksgiving for life at HT over the previous 12 months. Sue Coekin Mothers. Unlon (MUI Although our vislble presence dlminished during the year, three of us, and sometimes five, met in a horne to keep in touch with diocesan news of membership events and to encourage one another in prayer. The worldwide Wave of Prayer in February was important to support. One ongoing Mothers, Union campaign encouraged us to be more actlvely involved, by putting up posters raisin8 awareness of 'Rise Up against Domestic Violence, In our church toilets where the helpllne phone number could be dlscreetly detached. We also held an open meeting during October in our church hall, when Kathryn Anderson, my daughter, spoke in more detall about the importance of praying for, and actively SUPPOrting, everyone worklng together to end this harmful abuse of mainly women but men too.

A5 always, those who were able to be part of the weekend say they were greatly encouraged, not only by the teachlng, but by the time spent wlth brothers and sisters in fellowship. Paula and Rlch Osborn Podcast Studles In Augustlseptember a group of 13 church members115tened, read and dlscussed a serle5 of four podcasts by Don Carson called 'The Bibllcal Understandin8 of Suffering,, These sessions were titled 'Why suffering IS inevitable,, 'Innocent Suffering,, 'God's Provldence In Suffering, and God's Goodness in Sufferin8.

Llz Edwards MINISTRY (M4) 'Learning to serve like Chrlst, HT Advocacy The team of HT advocates continue to see a mix of new and conrinuing clients who require support especially with managing benefit entitlements and the associated paperwork. Most clients live within the town boundaries and ￿ferr81S are generally from church members, statutory agencies such as the Job Centre, charities such as Brighton Housing Trust IBHTI and the Foodbank, or by 'word of mouth,, There is a growing rapport wlth case workers in other organisations who are confident HT Advocacy will be able to help their clients with form-filling. Cases are often complex and very time-consuming. During 2024, the team saw 32 new clients, 17 continuing clients and closed the cases of 40 cllents because Issues had been resolved or referred onwards. Clients typically require help applying for Personal 12 Independence Payments (PIP} and Attendance Allowance. and filling in Housing Benefit and Council Tax Redurtion forms. Several tlients have dlfficult home circumstances involving domestic abuse, temporary accommodation, debt and employment issues. Applying for Pension Credit giving access to Winter Fuel Payments also featured during the year, plus attendance at County Court in Hastings to appeal against the loss of Low Capability for Work ILCWI. In addition, we provide help with information technology for some of the older members attending Outreach Ministries, for example, Good Companions and Knit and Knatter. The core team comprises Henry McKendrick, Alice Plowman, lan Milmine, Graham Jones and Debbie Hatfield 11 working under the direction and supervision of Grace Advocacy founding trustee Gary Holland. A team approach continues to be best practice, learning from one another and the client. There are also some excellent onlSne learning materials from WiseAdviser which the team can access for free. No advocate is ever left on their own with a client. The team is always keen to welcome new advocates wishing to get Snvolved and learn about this important ministry. At the end of 2024, Lesley Dawson who has been an advocate since 2019 and a valuable member of the team, transferred from the Advocacy Team to support the growing Art Workshop ministry. This illustrates the importance of inter-related Outreach Ministries that can bring respite ft)r HT Advocacy clients as well as provldlng further opportunlty to share the Gospel.

Sadly things did not go smoothly and, by November 2024. the volunteers in the music 8roup were once more without leadership. Many hard lessons have been learnt. A few of the music team met to agree on a list of songs/hymns that should be sung in conjunction with some of the song vide05 produced by Josh Lucas, to avoid overstretching our singers and musicians. Audio Visual - Reuben was responsible for the software and hardware to produce what was seen and heard in services and on the livestream. A number of changes were made to technical equipment and a new piano purchased durlng the first six months of the year. After Reuben left, Louls Frost received training by Ashdown Audio Visual (installer of the Mixin8 deskl, and the desk reconfigured to avoid the many unfortunate issues experienced during services, Our thanks go to Louis for his persistent and careful hard work to get things right. Liz Edwards Some people thlnk the AV desk looks really compllcated to work with, and some people believe it is simply a matter of turning things up and down. Well in a way it's a bit of both. Inside the AV desk is a complex system that does a thousand thin8s. and once the interior of the board has been finely tuned and learnt correctly, then the exterior is pretty much a c35e of turnlng the faders up and down,. muting when nece55ary. Music/sound is so valuable Sn church and it's important to get It right. So many factors can dlsrupt the performance Illke microphones causing feedbackl, so It's Important that equipment/wlres/lnstruments are In the right place. Each week the levels are checked for the church service and the internet livestream. We have been surprised by how many people watch us before coming to church in person. We also need to check the projectors and video switcher, and that the ProPresenter software is working correctly alongside the mixing desk. A good example of how the simplest thing can affect the audio is the radio mics Phll uses durln8 preaching. They carry a sound wave which is transmitted throu8h the air to an antenna receiver positioned under the camera trlpod above the Mlxlng desk. However, Issues were being created because the antenna was too low, causin8 the signal to drop out occaslonally. Liftin8 the receiver seems to have fixed the Issue I I love belng responsible for the sound desk as l enloy learning new things and helplng the church out.

Reuben Alexander, our Director of Music, left at the end of June. Ali Weaver, Assistant to the Office Manager, ended her paid employment but kindly remains as a much valued volunteer. Bay Zie, Ministry Trainee, left at the end of October. As you might imagine, the workload has Increased enormously for Philip and myself. We could not do this without the faithful and generous, now totally voluntary help, of Ali Weaver in the office each week. The regular work Involves ensuring that rotas, service notes, Church Family News and ProPresenter are all ready and correct for the next Sunday. Each month a newsletter and prayer diary are distributed via post and email. Publlcity Is produced and printed, PCC papers produced and there are many visitors to the office for all kinds of reasons. l am aware that 'the office, is seen as the Hub to which much information is sent and received.

Philip Coekin safe uardin chichester.an lican.or 01273 421021 CHURCHWARDEN'S REPORT I took up the role of Churchwarden Elect prior to last year's APCM and was conflrmed in the role at the APCM on 18 March 2024. It has been a steep learning curve but after 30+ years at HT in various roles (coupled with lon8 memory) I have a good 8rounding on what's what at HT. Part of my responsibilltles are to report to you on the State of the building and contents. known as church fobrlc, goods ond ornaments. The buildings are in generally good order with some defects only to be expected wlth a structure the age of Holy Trinlty. Internal fittlngs and contents a￿ in overall good condition and are monitored for any problems. Since my appointment we have incurred various expenses by way of maSntenance and Improvements. Although not an exhaustive list these are as follows: for the church and hall, £6,567.66. These expenses have been incurred from routine maintenance and issues which have now been resolved and costs should be $18nlficantly le55 In coming years. £1,866. This is for investlgatlve work arislng from the quinquennial inspection with the aim of making this area properly waterproof. illi1￿ heatin8 System £884.80. These expenses relate to malntaining the system and few fallures that have occurred throughout the year. • Hall and Main Buildin repairs £657.62. Principally a leaking wlndow In one of the upstalrs offlces. £1,410.70. Various additional works In connectlon wlth the hall and church are scheduled but because of the Investl8ations and permissions needed to work on a listed buildin8 these are on80in8. 2023's QuinquennSal Report has hlghllghted a good many Issues, whlch wlth a buildlng that is close to 200 Years old are unsurprising. Of these, the overwhelming priority has been the Narthex, which despite various attempts over many decades, remains a problem with water penetration and damp. Phil, a new Architect, a lead worker and myself have taken a detailed review of the construction of the roof and leadwork and hope we have devised a 501utlon to what has been a never endlng problem and headache. The Architect's proposals and costings are now eagerly awalted. Apart from this there have been issues with the Church heating, which have now been resolved by the helpful and 8racious assistance of TSS, who made the original installation and maintained the system. On the caterin8 front, some improvements have been made to the hall kitchen, with the installation of a rinsin8 tap and a new dishwasher, and full Servicing of the automatic de5caler, which Should ease the load of those undertaklng HT caterlng. Repairs have been undertaken to the Velux window irs Gary's office in the old office area, which was leaking. The contractors drew our attention to slipped tiles of the hall roof, a 'garden' growing up one of the valleys and a hole In the vestry roof and this, plus 51ates over the Snug and a ridge tile that has been missing over the 'carriage entrance, for 2-3 years, will all be repaired soon. 16 Back in the autumn, a serious blockage arose in the drains. which Phll and I managed to ￿duce but could not clear. A drainage contractor attended and cleared the blockage, arising from a build-up of fat from The Snu8 kitchen. There have been numerous issues with the heating and hot water for the Trinity Centre and The Snug supplied by boilers in the Trinity Centre. l am unhappy with the frequency that these problems arise15-6 times durSng my tenure) and the contractors will be asked to look into the root cause when the next problem arises. Other small issues have arisen, with taps in toilets, magnetic locks on gates, notice boards and other items too numerous to detall but these have all been dealt with. Currently, there are issues with the northern elevation of the main church roof, which has been leaklng at both the east lover the drum enclosure) and west ends (near the forstl. As I write scaffold has been erected and contractors, accompanied by me, have been up into the valley to inspect the roof. Quite a few issues have been identified (slipped slates and vegetation to name but twol. The contractor's report and conclusions are awaited, when they wlll be discussed with the architect. Without wishin8 to spread alarm, the roof has been in place for c. 160 years and may need si8nlflcant attentlon. It is my hope to restart the clock, once I can assemble a team of 'navvies' to assist wlth sorting out the cable on which the weight that powers the clock is hung. Additionally. it is my intention to assemble a working party to do some clearing up around the church (deferred as a result of the appalling weather in November 20241. I would be remiss if I did not express my thank5 to Rich Osborn, who undertakes many small maintenance tasks around HT, without whom we would be employing outside contractors, plus the unseen 'army' who ensure the church and grounds are kept tidy and free of the rubblsh that seems to collect, Finally my thanks to Phil, who durin8 hls tenure has bullt up sl8nlflcant and, dare I say, comprehenslve knowledge of what is where and how to solve problems. Without the ability to draw on his knowledge my task would be much more dlfficult. l am SU￿ I have missed many thlngs but I hope the congregation wlll forgive any omissions.

We are very grateful to those who were able to increase their giving during the year. A regular glft leg by standSng orderl is a very helpful way to give to the work at HT as it enables the PCC to budget effectlvely. In January 2024 we had 52 people with standing orders raising £8,446 per month. By December 2024 this increased to 54 raising a total of £9,366 per month. The Introduction of a second card reader durin8 the Autumn, whSch has the abllity to register for Gift Aid, has Sl8nificantly increased the use of card readers on a Sunday. During 2024 there was a total of 250 card reader transactlons ralsing £2,713. Wlth the card reader and all gifts, please do use 8Sft ald if you are a taxpayer, as this adds a further 25% to your gifts In refunded tax. Please ask If you need to know more. e our main costs? The highest expenditure for 2024 was salaries at £82,517. The desire of the PCC is to invest Sn growth as part of our Building for Growth plan, The best way to grow is to Invest in people, The second largest expenditure of £60k wa5 to the Diocese of Chlchester. This is a voluntary contribution to help pay for our share of the churches, parish ministry costs which covers housing, stipend, pension, costs of the clergy and insurance. The PCC elected to pay £60k instead of the retommended £81,445 during 2024 because It was not affordable from our current Income. Utllity costs have increased dramatlcally In the last two years, due to Increases In energy prices. Our total for 2024 was £33,385. 2023 was £23K, At the end of each month a monthly summary report was given to the PCC members to show incorne and expenditure. Particularly helpful Is the average monthly income and expenditure flgures that have consistently shown a deficit of between £4k and £5k. There are designated fund5 for 8ullding for Growth, Mlnlstry Trainee, HT Advocacy and Mission Support. By way of explanation, the Ministry Assoclate fund was to help fund the employment of Bay Zle. HT Advocacy is to fund expenses and staff. Mission Support is the giving to external organisatlons both In the UK and overseas. Detalls are In the financial statement, but includes the monthly support to the work of Hannah Jackson. Wh do we hold some mone in reserve? It is PCC policy to maintain a minimum level of funds in the general unrestricted funds lexcluding property) which equates to approximately three months worth of unrestricted payments as contingency against unforeseen 51tuations. These are invested in longer term Church of En8land investment funds. At the end of 2024 this amounted to £65,551, an increase of £3.116. 18 The everyday administration of finance is dealt with by Liz.
