We provide a range of ServIS to suit the needs of our local and wider community, a system of pastoral care and support and opportunities for personal interaction and growth for individuals and rou We said go¢)dbye to Rev Andrew Charlesworth and his family at the end of last year. Andrew worked tirelessly for us over the 'Covid years, and strove to leave us with a strong and resilient foundation. Among many other things, he introduced and helped create the Vision for Nuthall with Aspley and Awsworth Methodist Church and led us in employing a Children and Families Worker. His hard work and wilness, together with the arrival of our new Minister, has led to a year of revival and growth, for which we are all thankful. This year, we have tried hard to actualise our Vision Statement- Empowered by the Holy Spirit,. a visible community presence, actively welcoming, loving and caring for all and God's creation; and to embrace fully the Methodist Church's Equality, Diversity and Inclusion movement. This has involved the whole church, individuals and groups, with careful thought as to how everyone can be welcomed, involved and contribute. We began the year by welcoming our Minister, Rev Jason McMahon-Riley, and his husband Ben, and our Children and Families Worker, Rachel. They immediately became a central part of our church life, Summary of maln achievements durlng the year 2023 - 2024 Over the year, as one church in three places, Aspley, Awsworth and Nuthall Methodist Churches have forged closer ties and bonds, all of us getting to know each other, our strengths and needs, more clearly. Together, we have endeavoured to provide a welcoming and inclusive presence in our communities. To that end, we have also joined the Inclusive Church Network. Our activities can be separated into weeklylongoing, monthly and annually. We join with St. Patrick's Church, and the churches in Kimberley, in praying for our community street by street. We support Bestwood and Bulwell Foodbank. Our Brigades, Templars and Risers provide fun, friendship and learning for our children and young people. Our Children and Families worker has arranged Play and Wonder sessions, Carols under the Cross, the Children's Choir, Teddy Bears, picnic, outreach to schools and much more. Our Wann spa initiative - Tea, Toast and Talk continues to meet weekly, and Take Time Together meets monthly for fun and fellowship. Creative Corner meets monthly and uses everyone's skills and talents to create beautiful and useful artefacts. Eco-
church has revolutionised how we think and care for our church, its grounds, our community and our world, their weekly litter picking has become a Sour of pride and witness for and in our community. The Table Tennis Club, Art Club, the Walking Group, and many other groups welcome everyone to jain in. Pause for Prayer meet twice a month to provide a mid-week opportunity to join together for worship and fellowship. We have an active Pastoral group looking after our individual welfare. Our church building, grounds, health and safety, are maintained by our Finance and Propety Committee. We work hard to provide a safe and nurturing environment with a strong emphasis on Safeguarding and EDI. In these and many other ways, we endeavour to provide a pla of welcome, fellowship, worship and learning for all. Over the year, our Communications Team have improved and in¢reased our use of social media to enable more of our community to know about and access the services and activities available at our church, In September, we held our annual Harvest Festival, a colourful and thankful service. Donations of food and money were collected and sent to the Bestwood and Bulwell Foodbank. In November we held our annual 8ervlce of Remembrance. A parade, led by our Brigades, went to the local recreation ground and gathered around the village memorial for our community act of Remembrance and then all were invited to the church to continue the service. Creative Corner had created a wonderful cascade of poppies to mark this occasion. November also saw us join in a Circuit event, working towards the Discipleship Pathway, 'A Methodist Way of Life, below -
W•lplnAr Qod•Oft• Tdl Vht•Yofth•tradQod In December, Nuthall with Aspley and Awsworth, provided many ways for the community to celebrate Christmas. Advent meditstions were held morning and evening so that all could join. Carols were sung around the village and the Journey to Bethlehem was created by a church member and family in their garden, open to all. We held a 'Reverse Advent Calendar, and the Hungry Lunch to donate much needed food (and little luxuries) to the foodbank and shoeboxes were filled and sent to Operation Christmas Child. A new service was introduced this year - Blue Christmas, for those who find Christmas difficult for whatever reason. January saw the beginning of our Church choir, opportunities to explore membership and 191 Aid training with a particular emphasis on how to use the nearby defibrillator. In February we held a Taize service and welcomed a new local preacher accreditation. We held a Faith Sharing evening in March and a Holy Saturday Easter Eve Service of Waiting, in addition to our many other Easter ServIS and activities. Volunteers also set up a Catering Team to help us provide hospitality across the community. We also held the District Youth event on our premises. In June, we recommenced holding a quarterly 9am Communion Service for those who prefer a quieter and more meditative time.
June also saw some disruption with Severn Trent Waterfs work on a new pipeline. We are very grateful to Rev Barbara Holbrook who opened up St Patrick's church and helped us hold our Annual Church Meeting there, unfortunately we had to cancel our fish and chip supper! July saw our first ever Pride Praise Service and some of our congregation joined the Pride Parade in Nottingham, as part of our commitment and witness to love, equality and inclusion. Over the year we supported many other charities - Christian Aid, Action for Children, the foodbanks at Bestwood and Bulwell and St. Margaret's Church, Canaan Trust and the Aspley congregation knitted hats and gloves for the prisoners at Lowdham Grange, to name a few. As a church, we feel 2023 - 2024 has seen us develop and grow and we reflect on this with joy and gratitude. Standard form of Accounts is attached with a copy of the Reserves Policy - areas of risk identified are - none identified at this time. The church's income is predominantly from freewill giving, its expenditure focussed on our Circuit Assessment, maintenance and utilities, youth worker and Children and Families worker. The annual deficit has increased this year largely because the grant from District for the Children and Families Worker for the year 2023124 was received in the previous year. Taking this into account our operating deficit is decreasing and we are still holding significant reserqes. We are still confident we are managing our outgoings well and are activelLtakinAsteps to increase recei ts over the comin ears.
