Dorridge Methodist Church 2024/25.
The Church continues on a sound financial footing despite members being lost during the year. Income and expenditure have essentially remained static and is projected to be little changed in the coming year.
Our rooms have been well occupied and there are still spaces available giving us the Opportunity to further improve income to the Church. Thankfully we have a number of regular and well established hirers which form a good basis and our rooms are well maintained and vary in size to accommodate whatever size of group.
Activities within the Church continue with badminton and indoor bowls available. Other groups such as Ladies Circle, Chat Reflect and Pray (an online Christian fellowship group), 3FLC (Third Friday Lunch Club) and twice monthly Tea Parties continue. In addition there are Home Groups and a couple of social groups meet at local pubs. This year has seen a number of Sunday Roast lunches which have proved very popular.
We continue to support the local community with baptisms, weddings and funerals. The Church vestibule windows are appropriately decorated at times such as Christmas, Easter and Remembrance Day. Also on Remembrance Day a Memorial Service is held for those that have lost relatives and friends during the year.
A successful Community Event was held at the end of November raising funds for our Church Charity of the Year, the Marie Curie Hospice in Solihull.
Our thanks ga ta members, spouses and friends who have supported the Church to enable all these activities to take place and keep the Church in its well-maintained condition.
In conclusion we pray that with God’s help and guidance the Church will continue and flourish in the future.
