## **New Life Christian Ministry, Swindon** ## **Annual Report of the Trustees 2022/23** **Charity number:** 1138217 ## **Principal activity** The principle activity of the organisation is that of the charitable running of the church. Some operational changes which were implemented in response to the Covid19 pandemic have continued and some will remain going forward; these include online weekly Bible Study sessions via Zoom and monthly corporate prayers. The trustees, leadership and congregation continue to fulfil the objectives of the church, which are to: - Advance the Christian religion - Relieve people who are in conditions of need, distress or who are aged or sick - Advance education on the basis of Christian principles ## **Achievements over the past year** The regular activities of the church are: - Sunday worship services - Bible studies - Prayer meetings - Sunday school classes - Community outreach Whilst the above activities continued to be the main areas of focus for New Life, the new ways of delivering some activities continued and ‘hybrid’ arrangements are established. In March 2020 all in-person activities ceased; during 2021/22 some in-person activities were re-introduced such as Sunday worship services and limited community outreach such as home visits and community-based services. During 2022/23 in-person intercessory prayer meetings returned to the Centre whilst Bible studies and monthly corporate prayer meetings remained online. Hybrid arrangements had some effect on attendance but a great deal of effort was put into keeping members of the congregation connected and there was increased focus on mental health and wellbeing. During 2022/23 the vast majority of members attended in-person Sunday worship services though Zoom access was made available for those who were unable to attend but wanted to participate from home. 1 ## **Looking ahead** Covid-19 continues to impact the church and it’s activities and is likely to affect how the church is run and what it does in the year ahead. Face to face interaction wherever possible has been encouraged but it is anticipated that ‘hybrid’ arrangements will continue and use of social media for communicating messages and notices is likely to be a more prominent feature going forward.
