Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements
To further the above objects and vision, the charity's main activities and achievements were as follows:
The full PCC met 8 times during the year, with an average level of attendance of 89%. Committees met between meetings and reports
of meetings were received by the PCC and discussed as appropriate.
We continued to provide worship on Sundays at 10.00am — average attendance 60, Wednesday mornings at 9.30am — average
attendance 18 and the Pram Service Thursdays 10.00am - average attendance 10.
In January we started running a weekly Family Faith session on a Tuesday during term time. Each week we share a bible story and learn
fun action worship songs, take part in crafts, colouring and games all while learning about God and his Love for us.
ThursdayOur Lent course evening thisat year 7.00pmtook for place those over 5 who sessions, work or have starting more on time Monday in the Sth evening. March This in the years afternoon course at was 2.00pm and Finding a was Voice: repeated A Lent ona
Course based on the film The Kings Speech.
The Easter Eggstravaganza, one of our most popular coffee momings took place on the 29th March. Comprising of refreshments, stalls,
raffie and our Famous Easter Egg Tombola we manage to raise a total of £1,102.86 for church funds, well done to all involved.
We invited the local schools to Experience Easter, which is an interactive experience where the children had a chance to engage In each
part of the story and then are given time to think about each part ofthe story through a craft at each station, The stations were set up
around the church and there was a buzz as the children moved around the stations. Our church was filled with happy smiling faces and
laughter as the children learned about the love and hope we find in Jesus.
Theninto we were onto Holy weeka very busy week of services and meditations. Sunday 13th was the Palm Sunday Service, Jesus arriving

In June we started a new Bible Book Club, which meets on a Monday evening at 7.00pm. A chapter or a number of chapters from a book
in the bible are read in advance and then discussed. This seems to be going very well, so far this year we have looked at John’s letters
1, 2 &3, Daniel, Timothy 1 & 2, Ephesians & Titus.
4th - 8th August we ran a Holiday Club - Sunshine Corner goes Global.
Our traditional Harvest Festival Service was held on Sunday, 19th October. Dried and tinned food donations were donated to the area
foodbank, and the monetary donations of £250.50 were given to Christian Ald for their Harvest of Hope Appeal.
During half term in October we held a Light Party to celebrate Jesus as the Light of our world. Games were played, biscuits were
decorated and we all had a party tea. A great time was had by all.
We offered Experience Christmas to our local primary schools during the last week of November. Over 150 year 5 and year 6 children
attended. The five key characters from the Christmas story - Mary, Joseph, the Angel Gabriel, a Shepherd and a Wise Man - each told
their story to small groups of children.
1st December saw the start of our advent course run by Margaret Cooper, which was based on the Franclscan Principles of love,
poverty, humility and service.
However, Worship here at St Peters is just not restricted to Sunday And Wednesday momings, so much more goes on that allows people
to worship and develop their faith in a way that suits them best.
The Ark for children continues to run on the 1st, 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month with the 3rd Sunday allowing children to attend Our
All Age Worship with their families.
Compline also known as Night Prayer takes place fortnightly over Zoom on a Sunday evening.
Bible book club on a Monday, as mentioned earlier in the report.
Family Faith on Tuesdays, also as mentioned earlier in the report.
Reflections runs on a Wednesday evening with a small group of regulars, but anyone wanting to come would be most welcome.

Financial Review
We started the year with a fairly healthy balance mainlydue to a large legacy that had been receivedthe previous year.
Our fundraising total this year brought in an additional £7,278.35 and we raised £1055.42 for Christian Aid and the Children’s society. However, our monthly expenditure has continued to be significantly higher than our monthly income and we have constantly had to top up the current account from our reserves.

We have also spent a significant amount of money repairing the church and doing essential maintenance. The window are no longer
