Steve welcomed everyone to the meeting and passed on Doreen Draper’s greetings.

The meetingwas updated on various new mission activities that are happeningin|| ## **Tavistock Methodist Church** ## Minutes of the Annual Church Meeting held on Thursday 30[th] June 2022 ||Tavistock and Horrabridge – many of which are run or supported by Ali and TMC
members. These are:
Stronger Together – ladies’ drop-in group at TMC
Food Hub in Tavistock
Settling of 29 Ukrainian families in Tavistock.
Ukraine language classes held at TMC
Use of caravan for holidays for Ukrainian families – 5 weeks already booked.
Tweens & Teens on a Tuesday in Horrabridge
Horrabridge Repair Café
Enough people willing to form a new church community in Horrabridge.
The Horrabridge work is a mission supported by the whole Circuit which has a lot of
support from this Church.|| |---|---|---| |12.|**Reports from the life of the church (as distributed prior to the meeting)**
**Catalyst –**a third Catalyst worker is hoped to be joining next year. Two new SWYM
workers were prayed for during last week’s service. Thanks to Geoff Orton
**Circuit –**nothing to add
**Communications and Digital –**good new mission work here. Numbers on social
media/YouTube impressive. Need more help with tech teams, especially sound
**Eco-Church –**nothing to add to report. It was agreed that Harvest Festival should be held
to coincide with Big Green Week. Steve congratulated the meeting on the Silver Eco
Award and the wild flower meadow at TMC.
**Contact Groups –**Neil Wylie mentioned he’s more committed to the work in Horrabridge
so is standing down from leading the Contact Groups.**The meeting agreed to David and**
**Valerie Norman taking on this role.**Steve thanked Neil for all his work over the years.
Neil stressed he would still be involved at TMC.
**Family Work management –**nothing to add
**Family work –**nothing to add
**FAST –**Margaret Smith reported that the head of mission is now out of hospital, but needs
lots of rehab. Please pray for healing. All the accommodation that would normally be
kept free for teams from UK to stay are being used to house Ukrainian refugees which is
why we are unable to go out at the moment. Steve explained what FAST’s mission is.
**Finance –**Neil Tamblin (Treasurer) reported that the projected loss is based on decreased
giving and increased expenditure – mostly items that we have to pay, such as Assessment,
wages, heating etc. This projected loss is why the recent letter and updated Money
Matters leaflet have been sent out.
Discussion followed as to the way forward. This included:
•
Do people understand the need to give?
•
Do people know how to give? Not obvious as the collection is not taken during
the service – put something in the weekly update explaining the various ways
people can give
•
Making the Treasurer aware of any expenditure in advance so he can budget
•
Fundraising event?
•
Giving Sunday?
•
A QR code sticker on the back of each chair which will link directly to the giving
page on the TMC website
We need to talk more about money and the way God’s work can be advance through
giving. The Stewards are aware of the financial situation.
**Network –**nothing to add
**Pastoral –**nothing to add to report. Thanks were expressed to Steve for all his pastoral
work whilst he’s been with us.
**Property –**Peter Rowe is now Chair of the Property Committee. He mentioned that the
pillar where the lime render has come off is a continuingworry. We are still hopingtoget|| ## **Tavistock Methodist Church** ## Minutes of the Annual Church Meeting held on Thursday 30[th] June 2022 ||the LH and stair carpet fitted in the first two weeks of August, but the type of carpet most
suitable is still being resolved. Deborah Bevan reported that the patio is a work in
progress. The entrance to the LH is being looked at, following a wheelchair user being
unable to get in without help. Peter asked that any property matters should be flagged
up. If we don’t know about it, we can put it right. Please contact Peter Rowe and Iris
Wright.
**Safeguarding –**in the absence of David Benzie, Steve reminded the meeting that the new
Safeguarding policy needs to be agreed at the September meeting. This will need to be
reported to District who will report to the wider connexion.
**Stewards –**thanks were expressed (in her absence) to Pam Wylie for her stint as Senior
Steward for a second time. Thanks also expressed (again in her absence) to Eunice
Weemys for doing an extra year as steward.
**The meeting approved the following stewarding appointments, as proposed by Rob**
**Palmer:**
**Jennifer Youé as Senior Steward**
**Kathy Watts as a new steward**
**The meeting also approved Andy Marsh as full steward (he has been acting for the last**
**year).**
Steve thanked all the stewards for their hard work and attitude of prayer – they are God-
centered.
**Worship –**Steve mentioned how good it was to have Andrew Jones heading this
committee. Andrew said that it would be good to have more members of the worship
teams. There is a library of pre-recorded songs if needed.
**Youth work –**Trudi was unable to attend, but Steve stressed how much the work is
appreciated.
**Zimbabwe –**there are 11 riders for the Tour de Circuit so far. More sponsors would be
appreciated.
Steve thanked everyone for the work that goes in to keeping TMC going. The work that
the volunteers do for God is amazing. Tithing is too restrictive – we are called to give
100%.
Joan Gosling said how precious the Saturday morning prayers have been. Please join. The
Spirit is at work.
Rob Palmer expressed the meeting’s thanks to Steve. It has been a privilege and pleasure
to work with him. Hegoes with ourprayers and thanks.|| |---|---|---| |13.|Future dates:
