INTRODUCTION FROM THE MINISTRY TEAM This annual report 1$ a constant remirKler that the Wofk of God'8 Church 88ks much of its people, while Standing in the Ilght of God's love in Jesus Chr15fs namè. 2024 has brought the Glamorgan Heritage Coast Ministry Area to a point where ¢oncems about lunding and church buildings Still cloud the view, but where encouraging signs of life and groW£h bring light and promise forthe future. The Mlnistry Area boundsri8s have been set since 201 B and the 8rea Is working coherently, desplte the challeng8 of mairtaining 12 churrhes and muttiple Small cornmunitles acro¥$ the rural Vale of Glamorgan. The pand8mlc of earfy 2020 Beerns a long tlme ago, yet there has been more rellectlon and dlscussEon In the 18St year than perhaps at any time 81nce Coroftaviru8 appeared on the World's stage. The subsequent years have allowed our churches to reflect on the 8lgnSflcance and Social chang6 that has tsken place rapidly in 80 many communitie6, not lo mentron thé number of people who have bean lool from our congrggations, either through bereavernent or those who have moved away from church or from the area. For some of our ¢hurches wlth small congregationB and small local communities thls 108s has bean very Significant, and numbers hav8 really dwindled. For other churches 8ervlng larger communlties, the la8t year has brought opportunity and growth, wlth new people appearing in our churches, bdnging with them 9rf18 and tslents that polnt towards renewal and development in the future. Local leadershlp in our churGhe81s cruclal, arKI thanks are extended acro$8 the whole Minlstry Area to tIse who have taken on roles and responsibilitts as Local Church Warden8 and treasurers, whlle many others have given thelrtlme and energy on Local Church Committees and carried outthe 8veryday ta8k5 to mainlaln and sustaln thair local chuh. Mention should also be made of the speclal contrlbutlon of our 2 Church In Wales prirnary s¢hoo18 In Wick and St Brides Major, whose work is a constant Inspiralion to the famllies and communitles they serve, and a remlnder of the vltal role they play wllhin Ihe Mlnlstry Arèa.
