Hebron's annual report gives much to thank the Lord for as we reflect on his work in and through us over the last 12 months. Over the course of the year we've been praying, preparing and conducting a discernment process to consider whether we should appoint a pastor. We have continued to worship, pray, serve, celebrate and receive from God in many ways over the year. With our vision of every adult and every child in Long Ashton encountering the love of Jesus, it's been wonderful to support All Saints in running the Alpha course, to see Come and See and Kidz Club thriving with new attendees over the year, Saturdads attendance growing again during the autumn. occasional visitors at our Sunday setvices, lots of guests and friends of Hebron attending our 90th anniversary events, and high attendance at the 2023 Christmas servi￿s. Thank God for the opportunities we have had to walk closely with the people of Long Ashton. Anniversary ￿lebratIonS have also afforded more opportunities to walk closely with each other, with times of fun and ￿lebratIon. Our mid-week small groups and ongoing opportunities to share our experiences of the Lord in our Sunday servi￿$ have also been wonderful as we grow closer to Jesus as he speaks to us through each other. We've continued lo work in partnership with our brothers and sisters at All Saints and have been supported in various ways by Woodlands Church Family.
