## **Trustees Annual Report 2020** 

This has obviously been a very different year in the life of the church which has presented many challenges and opportunities to spread the gospel in new ways. Our normal Sunday worship stopped suddenly in March but the wonders of technology and the expertise of our own members combined to “get the show on the screen” so to speak. Not only did our services reach our own members who could access YouTube, but also many other people spread across the world who made contact with us. Many people within the fellowship rose to the occasion to produce innovative services and the preaching of God’s word was as relevant as ever bringing practical application of the bible to everyday life. 

The series of sermons from the book of James which all had titles starting with the words, “How to”, were a wonderful example of this. How to…. make your mind up, defeat temptation, be blessed by the Bible, treat people right, manage your mouth, avoid arguments, face our future - to name but seven. They, and more, are all available on the church website. In the autumn we moved on to another series entitled “David – a man after God’s own heart”, based on 1 Samuel chapters 16 through 25 which, again, spoke into the lives of all who tuned in. 

Similarly the youth and children’s work continued on-line thanks to the dedication and talents of our staff and volunteer members and we are grateful to all of them for taking the opportunity to communicate in different ways. One encouragement was that our Girls’ Brigade showed a growth in numbers as staff regularly visited the homes of the girls and developed better relationships with the families involved which resulted in more girls joining. 

On a practical level the huge undertaking of replacing the wall ties in one of the main walls of the building was started and we survived financially thanks to the faithful provision of God. 

The practical mission of our members in other spheres of service continued apace. The Foodbank expanded during the year to operate from more sites and reach more people. CAP continued using the phone rather than face-to-face visits and a new venture, The Nest, driven by six of our own members created a community shop for Weymouth providing cheap, good quality, nutritious food for people on low incomes. 

As we look to 2021 we continue to trust that the Lord will meet our needs, both personally and as a fellowship, despite the difficulties of living with the pandemic.
