AGM Rep)rt for 2020-21
Thls has ￿en a year like no other. SO much about church life ha5 changed. There ha5 been challenge.
difficulty, loss and lament. Yet through it all God has remained falthful. generous and kind leading u5 in new
and unexpected ways.
With the CoronaviTUS pandemic there wa5 an abrupt end of meeting in the buildlng, msxing socially afid being
tO9ether which has been very difficult fvr us.
However, the work of God continues even in ihe5e unprecedented tlmes. We hs a church fellowship have
continued to worship and work for God'5 Kingdom and have seen God move amongst us.
At thi5 p)int I want ro record my thanks to the deacons for their faithful servKe. In particular we are most
thankful for Pat t*er, our administrator. who ha5 adapted to the expanding needs of supsx)rtlng the leadershlp
during lockdown.
We are thankful ft)r the way Mlck Court and Phll Wheatley have kept an eye on our buildlngs and maintaine
them durin9 this time.
During lockdown we Quickly established weekly newsletter, reflection and prayer sheet5 that were sent out via
email. post, or hand delivered. Thls Ènabled us to keep everyone informed and connected with what wa5
happening tn church life. We have been pleased ro see this has been feceived well and ha5 encouraged
connection and eased lonelines5.
We have Worked io provide online resource5 through weekly Facetrx)okl￿e reftections and Zoom seNices. Thi5
has been a steep learniTyJ curve for the ministers and deacons as we have grappled wtth providing safe spaces
for wor5hlp and teaching.
There have been opportunities to meer for fellowship over Zoom whlch has been well received ty sorne.
All Of our church meetings have transirioned to being online and we have managed a Satisfactory way of making
decisions together.
The rnost marked change has been our mission and outreach to the local communsty. We have been unable to
run Toddler5. Drop-ln, Messy Church or Foodbank during the last year. There was opwrtuniry to work with
8ea¥ers. Cubs and kouts through Zoom and then outdoors for a 5horr time but the groups have struggled to
o be a comrnufjity whlch shares Christ, makes disciples and ¥eflect5 GoL15 glorf,

keep golng. As we begln to open up in society, we need to ask ourse￿5 what it Is God is calling us to in rhe
next Season.
Although the outreach through group work5 ha5 Stopped, it has continued through rhe live5 of indwiduals in
their own family settings and connections as we have encouraged each Dther to live the life of Christ wherever
we find ourselve5. We have also been encouraged by rhe number of people who have connected one way or
another via Zcx)m or Facebook.
We are ihankful ro Lynn Palfrey who has taken on the church window. organi5iTrg dlsplays to Sha￿ the Message

One of our highlights this year was celebrating with Allna Rai as She received her accrediiation for Bapt15t

continued financial support of the A55ociation we have been able to offer Allna a permanent contraci d5 She
continue5 heT minlstry amongst U5.
Joseph. Nanna. 6aaba and Adino Forson left us durlng the year io take up a pastorate in Luton. We wefe Sad to
see him leave but delighted that God gave him a strong call to move on. We continue io pray for hirn and his
ministry.
Mlriam Potter came into mernbership during lockdown and her srory has been rnost encouraging to us. It has
opened us UP to the need to make church more accessible to those who are unable to get to the building 0
Sundays.
In Detemberjosh Hills and K¢r5ty Beckett were married and a few people were able to gather to celebrate with
them.
There were a150 funerals for Joan Mayer5. Val Knott, Narbada ￿Mbu, Khem Pra5ad Lirnbu.
Glenna and Andrew Menzie5 have had to step back from leadership responsibiliiies a5 they move away and we
are thankful for their faithfulness and 5UPPOrt ¢)ver many years and pray God's ble$5ing on them.
We begln this new season with a new deacondte who wlll help us steer the course in the corning days. Please
pray for them.
God has called us to pray and seek Him above all things. This is our verse for the year
Hebrews 12.3 °Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith.
Let Us keep on walking and talking together.
Let U5 learn to listen well to God and each other.
Let Us keep our eye5 fixed on Jesus.
