A Word from the church minister, Rev Kong Ching Hii

written on 4th July 2024, the general election day of the United Kingdom

I share with you, my fellow pilgrims on the heavenward journey, the following thoughts and reflections. These words are from the bottom of my heart, mind and spirit. They are based on my limited observation and knowledge, conversation and interaction, and through the stories that I heard or gathered.

1. The need from the Chinese community is enormously demanding and challenging. This is based on the number of requests for support, hospital visit, funeral for the non-church family, and the news of the arrival of new migrants either from the mainland China or China-Hong Kong. Above all, the cry from the many Chinese congregations on this land is self-evident. We could also assume that since the mother land of the Chinese is developing and growing well in the recent decades, there will be no more new migrants to land on this shore. Yet, the arrival of the number of young and professional family proved otherwise. As a Chinese church in the heart of London, our vision is to readily reach out and to warmly welcome these friends into our fold. Thereafter, to grow and mature with them in the kingdom of God as true follower of Jesus Christ.

2. We are a uniquely distinctive church with three congregations, namely the Mandarin congregation (10:30am), International or English congregation (11am) and Cantonese congregation (1:30pm), the pioneer congregation. One of the stewards who was on sabbatical leave and had the chance to visit many other churches in London. The said steward returned with the statement that “Now, I rejoice and thankful for my church… we are blessed with a good pastoral team, distinctive three steward teams, and a whole wide range of church life and ministry….” Let us constantly celebrate and thank God for the diversity, unity and variety that we do enjoy here at London King’s Cross. Now, as we look into the future, this church must seize the opportunity and be willing to pay the cost to minister to our next generation. The question is: “What can I offer to God on the altar of worship?”

3. King’s Cross Methodist Church was first known as the church group in the Battle Bridge in December 1824. The ministry was started to meet the needs among the mothers and children in the area. In 1924, a decision was made to re-decorate the church for the next generation and beyond, including the international students from around the globe. As we shall commemorate the bicentennial anniversary of the mission in December 2024, we are challenged to constantly to build and to meet the needs of the next generation. Like the faithful who said in 1924, “… the chronicles of the next hundred years to come, men may say of the present generation as we say of those who began its activities ‘other men have laboured and we have entered into their labours.’” Let each of us therefore be wholeheartedly committed, to ardently continue and to joyfully complete the redevelopment project with our eyes fixed on the God of history.

The decision made by the Circuit team to close the student ministry for the next two year is a move to show our commitment to ensure the church redevelopment project will come to its fruition. I solicit your prayer is that God will send forth his faithful workers(ordained), dedicated stewards and committed disciples (lay person), together, we will be cheering, supporting and maturing each other until the hour we meet the returning Christ in the clouds.

牧者的心里的话

许广铮牧师写于 2024 年 7 月 4 日，英国大选日

我与大家，天路客旅，分享以下的反思和意念。 这些话是发自我的内心、思想和精神的。 它们 是根据我有限的观察和知识、对话和互动，以及我听到或收集到的故事。

1. 华人社区的需求是巨大且具有挑战性的。 这是根据所收到的请求支持、医院探访、非信徒家 庭葬礼的数量，以及来自中国大陆或中国香港的新移民抵达的消息。 最重要的是，这片土地 上众多华人教会的呼声是不言而喻的。 我们也可以假设，由于近几十年来华人的祖国发展和 壮大，不会再有新的移民登陆这片土地。 然而，大量年轻、职业家庭的到来却证明了事实并 非如此。 作为伦敦市中心的一家华人教会，我们的愿景是可以随时伸出援手并热烈欢迎这些 朋友加入我们的行列。 此后，作为耶稣基督的真正追随者，与他们一起在神的国度中成长和 成熟。

2. 我们是一家独特的华人教会，拥有三个会众，即普通话部（上午 10：30）、国际或英语部 （上午 11：00）和粤语部（上午 1：30），即先驱部。 今年，在我们有一名的执事在休安息 年，藉此去参观伦敦的许多其他华人教堂。 这名执事回来后，说：“现在，我为我的教会感 到高兴和感谢...... 我们有幸拥有一支优秀的教牧团队，独特的三个执事团队，以及广泛的教 会生活和事工...“让我们来庆贺并感谢上帝使我们在伦敦君王十字车站的区域是一家有差异、 合一和多元化的教会。 现在，当我们在展望未来时，我们就必须抓住机会，并愿意付出代价 来服事我们的下一代。 其挑战是：「你我愿意在敬拜的祭坛上向献上什么呢？」

3. 循道会君王十字堂 （Kings Cross Methodist Church） 最早于 1824 年 12 月是被称为 Battle Bridge 的教会。 该事工的成立是为了满足该地区母亲和儿童的需要。 1924 年，决定为下一 代及后代重新装饰教堂，其中包括来自世界各地的国际学生。 2024 年 12 月，我们将纪念这 事工的二百周年，我们需要立定心志来面对及满足下一代需求的挑战。 就像 1924 年信徒所 说的那样，「... 在未来一百年的编年史中，人们可能会像我们谈论那些开始其活动的人一样谈 论当代人，『其他人已经劳动，我们已经参与了他们的劳动。』 」因此，让我们每个人都注 目在历史之神，全心全意、热情地继续并愉快地完成教会重建的工程。

联区会议已经决定在未来两年关闭我们的学生宿舍，这决定表明了我们要确保教堂重建项目可以顺 利完成。 我为大家祷告的是，神必定差派祂忠心的工人（被按立的牧者），委身的执事和忠诚的门 徒（平信徒们），让我们竭力彼此鼓励，互相支持和互相成熟，直到我们迎接云中再来的基督的那一 刻。

Night Shelter Ministry

Kings Cross Methodist Church participated in Season 20 of the Winter Night Shelter in partnership with the Homeless project C4WS. Kings Cross hosted on a Thursday night / Friday morning from 2nd November 2023 to 21st March 2024. The shelter was full throughout the season and at the end of the season all guests had been found permanent accommodation. Two of the MCH students volunteered this year on a regular basis and Sherene Wong from the Cantonese Congregation very kindly helped out with the cooking. The budget for Season 20 was £4,000.00 with an additional £359.33 remaining from the donation given by Newbury Methodist Church (Kenet and Test Valley Circuit). Total expenditure was £3259.15 an increase of £1,657.73 (£82.88 per week) on last season. This was due to the rising cost of food and an increase in laundry costs. A breakdown of costs is as follows: Fresh food and toiletries £329.47; Food for dinner £906.73; Laundry service £1984.00; New shopping trolley £22.95; Christmas gifts for guests £16.00. The greatest expenditure was for laundry as Hamlet Laundry have increased their prices. A request was put to the Church Council to consider the purchase of a washer / drier before this season begins, which will significantly reduce the costs.

Season 21 will start on Thursday 7th November and will run for 22 weeks until Thursday 10th April. Volunteers will be needed to cover the evening, overnight, cooking and breakfast shifts.

Methodist Chaplaincy House

Following the decision made at Circuit Meeting that MCH will be closing in September, students have been preparing to move out and have started to look for alternative accommodation. To date eleven students have moved out with fourteen still in residence. Several students have asked to leave items in storage until they move into their new accommodation in September. It was agreed by the MCH Management Committee that students could store items in the luggage room at MCH provided they pay a £100.00 deposit. This will be returned when they collect their items. The purpose of the deposit is to ensure that MCH is not left with the expense of removing unwanted items that have not been collected.

The monthly House Meals will continue whilst we still have students in MCH although numbers will be depleted. The May House Meal was a collaboration between the MCH students and the CREW Fellowship and was well attended.

The MCH Management Committee are due to meet on Friday 26th July.

Pastoral support is still available for all remaining students and the lunch-time prayers continue twice a week. A Thanksgiving Service for the life of MCH was held on Sunday 7th July.

International Service

Congregation numbers are holding steady with an average attendance of 15-18 people each week. Pei-Ling Chay, Chloe Cheng, Bobo Lee, Rita Hui and Justin Yim continue to lead worship and Summer Chow and Terence Wong prepare and operate slides. We have so far been unable to recruit new people to join the serving team. On the fifth Sunday of each month, we are joined by members of C4 and it is hoped that in time the older members of C4 will feel encouraged to take on a serving role. This year we invited preachers to take part in a five-week sermon series on the book of Ecclesiastes.

感谢神一直的保守，在过去的十二个月里粤语主日学一切也安稳进行。

靠着神的带领在每个主日里都能一起分享神的话语和教导，神也大大加添主日学的儿童人数，目前 小班人数暂时 7 人，大班人数加至 9 人。 在新学年里，幼儿 BB 班将会有 4 人加入主日学小班学习 神的话语。

老师与助教也加入了新的力量，授课系统也恢复如旧，除联合崇拜之外，在下午一点半与粤语崇拜 同步，以每月轮教制度。 分开小班与大班授课，内容包括：

另外在今年的六月开始，决定在往后每个月的最后一个主日会进行家庭同步敬拜，就是主日学的学 生与父母一同在主礼堂一起敬拜神，目的是让小朋友明白敬拜的意义和重要性。

在 2023 年的圣诞联合敬拜，感谢神在老师和助教不辞劳苦的服侍让主日学学生的表演得到大大的祝 福和喜爱。 今年中国农历新年老师们也别出心裁的与学生一同制作不同味道的汤圆从而拉近了学生 之间的互动，C4 的大姊姊哥哥也很照顾小朋友，和睦有爱的氛围。 愿神继续带领，希望和期待在 来年主日学全体人员带来更丰富的表演让更多的人看见神的作为。

卫生方面也继续严谨地在课前清洁好桌子椅子等相关物品。

感恩各位主日学生，复活节在老师的引领下与神同步，鼓励养成每天读经和祈祷的习惯与神多亲近; - 各位母亲也收到最有暖意的礼物 主日学儿童亲手制作的卡片。 今年的父亲节也加添一个小开场，就 是加入神的话语和祝福，以感谢为主向父亲献上真挚的祝福和心声，希望能让每位父亲都能收到这 份爱。

今年主日学会在夏季学期尾都会举行运动会和年度毕业派对聚会以增加主内老师与学生之间的互动 和联谊和感谢神一直的带领。

主日学出席率继续以网上表格方式进行，非常清楚和简单明了。 在七月十四的粤语主日学和 C4 的 毕业礼同乐日当日也颁发出勤奖状和奖励。

以下是主日学财务报告和出勤率的截图以方便弟兄姊妹浏览：

最后非常感谢在主日学侍奉的所有人员，每一位都愿意奉献自己的时间和能力一起协助培育神的产 业，祈求神继续加添爱心，智慧和能力给全体师生与家长共同建立神的大家庭。

8.2 Unitea 团契事工报告 Ministry Report of Unitea Fellowship By Bobo Lee 李恺萦

We are a young adults fellowship group who gather together for some “tea” every Wednesday at 7:30pm. A combination of Bible study, discussion, food and most importantly a hot cup of tea. We are making every effort to keep the “unitea” of the Spirit through the bond of peace. (Ephesians 4:3-6)

Highlights

• We provide an open space to support each other and share struggles we may have.

• The format of this fellowship being a shared responsibility amongst the group and having no set leader(s) remain the same.

• Socials this year included dinners to celebrate Christmas and Chinese New Year.

• A number of us joined KAIROS, a young adult conference where we spent a day fellowshipping with Christians across the UK learning more about our purpose with God at our current stage in life.

8.3 WAFFLE 职青团契事工报告 Ministry Report of WAFFLE Fellowship By Daniel Chu 朱礼昌

There are currently 10 regular members in WAFFLE and we meet in person at church after Sunday service each week. We are comprised of working adults from mid-Twenties to Thirties. We have a rota system where we encourage every participant to lead sessions and discussions, and sessions include Bible studies, book studies, topical discussions, film discussions, and socials.

Key Highlights

1. Membership

2. 1.1. Recently we have welcomed several new members who joined us either from Hong Kong or have recently moved to London

3. 1.2. We find the sharing of life experiences very valuable and we cherish the relationships that we have built during this time

4. Bible Study and Discussion

5. 2.1. We have been studying through Acts together as a group, using materials such as Gospel Coalition

6. 2.2. Other topics include Love languages, discussions on the topic of justice

7. 2.3. Fellowship provides us a safe and open space to discuss what scriptures mean to us in a personal level, and we are invited to explore how actions in the early church can teach us how we should act and minister in church today

8. Socials

9. 3.1. Socials are a core part of our identity and it allows us to share a meal and other activities together, such as travelling and sightseeing

10. 3.2. We put a particular emphasis on meeting in people’s homes as it creates an intimate and comfortable environment in which relationships can be built and sustained

11. 3.3. We look forward to creating more opportunities in the future – we are currently planning a weekend away in Yorkshire in which we can share a time and space together for reflections and fun activities

Key Challenges and Needs

1. Lack of pastoral / ministerial support

2. 1.1. Although WAFFLE has large been self-sufficient in terms of sharing responsibility for leading, organising discussions and encouraging at atmosphere of reflection and intimate sharing, we do feel that we need more pastoral support from the wider church leadership

3. 1.2. We value and certainly welcome the type of life experience and practical advice that elders can bring

4. 1.3. Members of the fellowship have expressed interest in learning about theological knowledge and gaining better understanding in biblical terminologies, which requires support from trained, knowledgeable pastoral worker

5. 1.4. Suggestions : church leaders are welcome to join and participate in sessions in WAFFLE. We think that a senior figure within the group, someone who is visible and available at times of need, is something we would need

6. Lack of connection with other life groups / fellowships

7. 2.1. We find that Fellowships in KCMC can operate in silos, and we would encourage events which can bring different fellowships together

8. 2.2. We believe that different fellowships can bring different perspectives in Biblical and social issues which would broaden our understanding on these matters, and challenge us to be more empathetic and loving

9. 2.3. Suggestions : Our hope is to host at least 2 joint fellowship sessions in the upcoming year and we encourage the church to lead and support these ventures

8.4 国语堂少年团事工报告 Ministry Report of the Mandarin Youth Fellowship By Maria Hii 许思炜

使命宣言： 与耶稣相遇， 爱中相遇

核心团队： Maria Hii

少年人： 平均参加人数~18 （最近 2 位新人）.

事工愿景声明和目标： 我们的目标是支持少年人（7 年级至 13 年级）的灵命和团契生活。 引导他们 在基督里成长，过荣耀神的生活，并在他们日常生活中能做见证。 我们相信少年阶段是人生中最关 键的阶段，需要在品格和信仰发展方面得到支持和指导。 因此，我们有 5 个主题：团契、使命、见 证、信仰和公民。

事工报告：

• 2023 9 月 -12 月： 我们继续有轮班表来鼓励少年人在团契期间参与服务，也继续每月第一周 （或有联合礼拜时）参加大堂崇拜与服侍; 司琴、鼓手、招待和欢迎，PPT 。 今年我们有 3 个 星期是与马来西亚短宣团队聚会，由他们来引导。 我们开始新的课程：寻找意义 （这是根据 一本书，Search for Significance）。 另外，我们还继续“相遇”系列，通过圣经来遇见他。

• 2024 1 月 -4 月： 我们开始少年启发课程，好让他们跟多认识主耶稣和基督教，也彼此在主里 认识和成长。 因此有一个周末在教会外进行 Alpha Weekend，在那里跟多了解和认识圣灵。 今年我们一起去了 Derby Camp，主题是“Soon”，谈论世界末日以及我们如何在等待时更好地 做好准备。 此外，很庆幸的参与了一项 CREW 举办的联谊活动，联合 C4 和国语部少年团在 一起。 我们也开始新一项“101”系列，探索什么是基督徒的生活和价值观。

• 2024 5 月 -8 月： 继续 101 系列，在大堂服侍和完成少年启发课程。 更多地探索教会是什么， ，

• 圣经怎么教我们如何理财，有纪律，读经祷告等等。 我们有一日郊游去 Go Ape 考试后的 庆祝和放松的活动。 今年比较不一样的是我们会以在青少年营会 TeenStreet 之后终结今年， 也会有夏季舞会来结束和欢送将上大学的少年朋友们。

事工面临的挑战 ： 1）缺乏愿意事奉的人，因此对青少年缺乏更全面的支持和关怀。 2）他们所在的 环境可能导致他们容易在灵命成长中停滞不前。

未来的计划和机会： 关注成长（个人）、敬拜（对上帝）和服务（对社区）。 1）明年：鼓励青少年 继续跟多渴望与上帝有个人关系，在神的话中不断成长。 2）2 年计划：举办 KXMC 自己的青年营 并为一个事项筹集资金并让年轻人在社区中担任志愿者 3）5 年计划：带少年人去短宣。 祷告有一 位青少年牧师来指导青少年事工。

Report of the Mandarin Youths’ MinistryPeriod September 2023 through to August 2024

MISSION STATEMENT ： Encounters with Jesus， 爱中相遇 （Meet in Love）.

Core team: Maria Hii

Youth Members: Average ~18 (2 newcomers recently).

Vision Statement and Goal of the Ministry: We aim to support the youths and young people (year 7 until year 13) in both their spiritual and social life; to help them grow in Christ to live a life that glorifies God and to become a testimony in their daily lives. We believe that the teenage/youth stage of one’s life is the most crucial and needs support and guidance in terms of growth in character and faith. We have 5 main themes: fellowship, mission, testimony, faith, and citizenship.

Ministry update:

• Sept-Dec 23: We continue to have a rota plan to encourage youth to serve during fellowship and to participate in serving at main service (pianist, drummer, ushering, and ppt) every first Sunday of the month. We had 3 weeks with the Malaysian Digital Mission Team where they led the sessions. We started a new series: Search for Significance (which is based on a book, Search for Significance). In addition, we also continued with the "Encounter" series, to “encounter” God through the Bible.

• Jan-April 24: We started Alpha Youth Course to re-establish (and establish) what the gospel is, Christianity, some apologetics, to know and grow in the Lord together. On the Alpha Weekend, we learnt more about the Holy Spirit too. This year’s Easter break, we went to Derby Camp. The theme is "Soon", talking about the end of the world and how we can be better prepared while waiting. Also, excitingly, we got to join a united fellowship event organized by CREW, bring C4 and the Mandarin Youth Group together. We also started a new "101" series to explore what Christian living is and values are based on the bible.

• May-Aug 24: We continue the 101 series, serving in main service/youth group and completed the Alpha Youth Course. Exploring more about what the church is, what the Bible teaches us about finance, discipline and priorities, Bible reading and prayer, etc. We have a one-day outing to Go Ape to relax and celebrate after the exams. What is different this year is that we will wrap up the year after TeenStreet (youth camp). We are planning to have a summer ball to end and send off the youths who are going to university or other beyond school.

Ministry Challenges: 1) Insufficient number people to serve, therefore unable to provide holistic support and care to youths. 2) The environment where they are in, may cause them to be prone to staying stagnant in their spiritual growth.

Future plans and opportunities: Focussing on Growth (personal), Worship (to God) and Service (to community). 1) Next year: Encourage youths to desire more of God, to have a personal relationship with Him and to continue growing in His words. 2) Continuing 2-year plan: To host KXMC own youth camp and to fund raise for a cause and have youths to volunteer in the community. 3) 5-year: To go on a short-term mission trip. Pray that we may have a youth pastor to guide the youth ministry.

In April, we joined the mandarin congregation to go through “Alpha” as a church. Through Alpha, we can have conversation deeper into our faith and encourage one another even more.

Future Opportunity

8.6 C4 青年事工报告 Ministry Report of C4 By Bobo Lee 李恺萦

C4 is a group for youths who are currently in secondary school (ages 11-18) trying to navigate through life as teenagers. This is a space for them to learn more about their faith and to share any challenges or struggles they are facing.

Time - 1:30pm to 3pm

Teachers - Waiman Yip, Daniel Chu, Cherry Ho, Chloe Cheng, Bobo Lee Attendance - 12 to 15 members (it can fluctuate during exam season/school holidays) Curriculum - We have continued to use the Scripture Union resources as a guide

Highlights

1. We welcomed new members to C4 (3 from Sunday School). To allow them to build better connections with each other, we continue to have fellowship on the 1st Sunday of the month where we have worship and play games together.

2. C4 were invited by CREW to join them and the mandarin youth for an evening of fellowship to encourage integration across the ministries. Although only 2 members from C4 attended, it was encouraging to see them connect with new people. We hope with the help of their parents, more youths will join next time. It is important for our youths to have more interaction with IS and CREW as it will be a natural next step for when they finish secondary school.

3. C4 performed their own version of “12 days of Christmas”. They were hesitant to participate at first, which is understandable as teenagers tend to be more shy with these types of activities. However, it was very encouraging to see all of them overcome this and contribute to the performance.

4. Youths have been joining International Service on the 5th Sunday of each month (if applicable) to give them exposure to a Sunday Service. After service ends, we would eat lunch and play some games together.

5. C4 joined Sunday School with dumpling making for Chinese New Year - it was great to have this time for them to interact with each other on a more casual basis.

6. Teachers lead two weeks at a time and we continue to have more leaders join each session to maintain relationships with the youths.

7. Some topics covered throughout the year include: the discipline of giving, spiritual gifts, respect, love, character study of Hannah.

Main challenges

1. Engagement during sessions - We have noticed a lack of engagement during worship and minimal participation during sessions and discussions. The teachers have had meetings to discuss these issues. Ultimately our aim is to support our youths and create a safe environment for them to express themselves and ask questions. These concerns have been raised to them and their parents directly and we are pleased to see an improvement in the second half of the year.

2. PHAT Camp - C4 are always encouraged to join PHAT Camp and this year we have 3 sign ups. It is good for them to experience God in a different environment and meet youths from all over the UK who are going through similar things to them. We will continue to encourage them to sign up next year and it would be helpful if parents can help us with this.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF KING CROSS METHODIST CHURCH

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31 August 2024.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT

As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

• the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or

• the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or

• the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
