Vlcar's Report Last year I finished with this verse from l Thessalonion5 5. v 16-21 and as I look back over 2023, 1 think we have much to give thanks for. Every year as I sit down and begin to wrile this annual report. l am blessed with the sight of daffodils beginning to flower as I look out Ihrough my sludy window, a sign thal Spring is on the woy. What a wet winler we have had, and yet in many countries acr055 the world they pray day afler day without ceasing for the gifl of rainl As I wrile this yeor we are olso in the period of Lent, with Easter being so early, and l om reminded thal it was the Holy Spiril that drove Jesus out into the wilderness, the same Holy Spirit that come down upon Him al His baptism, to prepare Him for those 40 days ond 40 nighls lempted bysatan. We must not quench the Spirit who leads us into all truth. and helps us to walk the way of Jesus. rather Ihan being led astray by Ihe temptation5 of the world we live in. 'Rejoice alwoys, pray wilhouf ceosing. give thanks in all circurnstances.. for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you,. We know that prayer musl be the foundalion on which we do all things, for Ihis is the will of God. Lasl year we did not have a time of 24hr prayer but sometimes God has olher ide05, and what we did instead was have a time of prayer on a Saturday from 8 am to 2 pm. Oul of this has come a monthly time of prayer on the 3fd Solurday of the month from 8 om lo 12 pm, incorporating the new prophelic prayer group meeting belween I l om and 12 noon, ond an opportunity for people to come and receive prayer ministry as well. 'Do not despise prophecies. but test everything.. hold fast to what is good, ASK Prayer group on Monday morning, and the Wednesday morning prayer group continue lo meel to inlercede. and are well attended with people having powerful encounters with God.
The Parochiol Church Council of the Ecclesiasticol Parish of Chesler. St Mark's Loche-cum-saltney. Financial Statements lor the year ended 31 December 2023 st Mark. Our Parish weekend away last autumn was another lime of powerful prayer and worship as we specifically chose to focus on worshipping God in song and prayer rather than having a guest speaker. Jonty and Mirkku were excellent, both experienced in the gifls of prophetic worship, and led us, together with our own wonderful music group in extended times of sung worship and prophelic prayer. We also had some different workshops which were much appreciated by those who attended. I want to give thanks for the weekend, to all who made it such a memorable event, and pray that we will continue lo put into action all that we learnt and experienced from that lime at Clover5y. We rejoice and give thanks in the conlinuing work of the Debt Advice Centre last year. and extending the site of our tent as they move into Hawlhorn House, in the cenlre of the Lache Estale, later this Spring. Last year the PCC agreed to sell the curale's house after Hana moved on lo Dodleston. and I pray that the sale may have gone through by the lime you read this report. The Faith Building Project conlinues to need our unceasing prayer, as we slowly move foward with the next phase. I wanl to thank Nigel and Chris especially for their commitment and patience. At the end of last year Nigel decided to stand down as Project Manager, due to the expansion of the DAC. and l am delighted Ihol Lisa Sawyers has agreed to slep into this role for the next phase of the project. She brings much experience, and knows Ihe architect well, so please pray for her and the new team, as they take on Ihe next phase of the project. I want to thank God for all Ihe ministries thol are going on al St. Mark's both in the Church, Centre, and out in the local community, and do lake time to read Iheir reports as well to inform yourselves of God's work in this parish. Thank you to all those who lead and facilitate these ministries as well. However, I do want to highlight Ihe need for a larger team to help Nikki on Sunday mornings with the Kids club. Very generously last year a donation was offered to support Nikki, forjust one year. to facilitate the children's work on Sundoys, but this will cease at the beginning of September this year. The reality is that if we do not have others stepping up to help with Sunday kids club, then Ihis may well have to cease loo. God said to Joshua as he was about to take up a new role, and lead the Israelites, into a new land la prelty scary thing to dol, 'to be strong and courageous.. do not be frightened, because God will be with Him wherever he goes,. I know stepping into a new ministry, especially perhaps children ministry, can feel overwhelming, but God will honour your
