The review of activities<br>below reflects how we have implemented this<br>through a range of activities, which we consider<br>to be in line with both this guidance and our<br>objectives<br>Worship and Prayer<br>The Church (JLWC) with its three congregation<br>(East<br>Grinstead,<br>Brighton,<br>and<br>Eastbourne) continued<br>its<br>mission<br>of<br>evangelising people and gathering its members<br>through fellowship on regular Sunday services<br>at each respective rented hall (run by the Jubilee<br>Community Centre at East Grinstead.) The<br>Sunday<br>Christian<br>services<br>are<br>aimed<br>at<br>encouraging, supporting, lifting, and nurturing<br>the spiritual lives of its members. In turn, each<br>individual member of the church is encouraged<br>to invite their friends to become part of the<br>Christian community.<br>Every Monday evening, the church joins other<br>church branches globally to be one in spirit as it<br>gathers its members for prayer intercessory<br>evening.<br>The<br>prayer intercessors gather all<br>prayer requests and petitions received by the<br>church on Sunday services and home visits and<br>lift them all up in prayer.|





Bible study / Cell groups were added this year to accommodate some members who may have missed the Sunday service due to work commitments. Other ministries, like Women of Faith, Men’s Ministry and Youth and Kids Ministries were set up to cater the needs of its members. Digital platforms were used to reach out and fulfil the Church’s mission. All are welcomed to attend the church’s regular services. This year, 20 families and 50 new nurses added to the register, which brought the total numbers to 690 including children. Average attendance on regular services were 420, and on special occasions, can reach up to 690. However, towards the end of the year, some members were removed from the register after relocating to other areas. The church has continuously reached out to people to bring hope and strengthen their faith through: Worship and prayer, Teaching through discipleship Developing their relationship with Jesus Provision of pastoral care Outreach programmes Seminars and Conferences Webinar To enable all these, we hold on to the leading of the Holy Spirit and the truthful promises of God. Pastoral Care Bishop Norman Ponce, assisted by some elders of the church, regularly visits families and friends who wished to be prayed over for healing, spiritual care and counselling. Some visits were made for spiritual advice and before big decisions were made. They regularly attend to members who may be experiencing trying times in family relationships, job security, spiritual battles, or financial burdens. 

Statement confirming Para 1.18 When planning our activities for the year, the whether the trustees have Trustees and Members (church Elders) of the had regard to the guidance charity have considered the Charity issued by the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and the Commission on public specific guidance on charities for the benefit advancement of religion. The review of activities below reflects how we have implemented this through a range of activities, which we consider to be in line with both this guidance and our objectives.
