Review of the Year in Brief
2025 has been a very busy year, with the number of people joining each of our regular services increasing. We have also seen an increase in the number of special services and community outreach we have been able to offer. A special thanks to Kerrie and her team for the increase in fundraising events that have been held in the last year.
Our pastoral team have expanded the Care home services we offer, and worked hard to establish good working relationships with the staff and residents, support is always appreciated. We are also working to build up our faith family, with prayer retreats and in house support for the ministry of our family.
The organ repairs have now been completed, with the last few loose ends being tidied up, which is a credit to those who have driven the project. There is much to do on the fabric of the church and planning
to get those completed are in hand. We are extremely grateful to all who give of their time, energy and skills to support the ongoing work of the church. As always, huge thanks to all who serve our church community, on the coffee bar, welcoming visitors during the week and on Sundays, offering skills and time in maintenance and all the other unseen heroes who promote our values to our wider community.
On behalf of the PCC, Church Warden
