| Since the church only employs one person, the work ofevery member of |
||||||
| the church, aided by the power ofthe Holy Spirit, makes a significant | ||||||
| difference in its ability to achieve the above objectives. The financial |
||||||
| resources ofthe church, to a very large extent, are also given by the | ||||||
| members, and much work is done privately, without recognition, and the |
||||||
| hours and value ofthat time cannot be quantified. The ethos of being the |
||||||
| salt and light is atthe heart ofthe congregation | ||||||

| During | this year the main ways in which the church has sought to fulfil the |
|---|---|
| calling | ofChrist upon it have been as follows: |
| ~ | Preaching, teaching and showing practical care in the community. |
| This was achieved through the normal teaching ofthe church on |
|
| Sunday morning and evening, midweek, and also by running occasional church membership courses to address practical and |
|
| theological issues from a Christian viewpoint. This includes the |
|
| ordained and licensed Presbyterian minister being on call twenty- |
|
| four hours a day to meet any emergency Spiritual needs such as |
|
| being in hospital. |
|
| ~ | Sharing the good news about the love ofChrist through church |
| members participating in and supporting local activities in Solihull, |
|
| practicing the ethos ofbeing the salt and the light, | |
| ~ | Since September 2021 we were again able to worship in a |
| building at Tudor Grange Academy in Solihull. Previously the |
|
| church met outside in the park just behind the building we |
|
| worshipped in before lockdown. |
|
| ~ | Providing financial, practical and prayer support to individuals and |
| organisations seeking to advance the gospel ofChrist overseas. |
|
| ~ | We were able to provide financial support to churches in Hungary, |
| who helped those who fled from the Ukraine. | |
| ~ | The minister was instrumental in several ways to support those |
| who are ill and/or bereaved, which was especially needed during |
|
| periods oflockdown. |
