~ Before lockdown, a small group ofabout 4-6 children aged 3to 10have
enjoyed lots offun in Light Years as they learnt about God each Sunday
morning.
Also 2-5teenagers age 11to 14years regularly
met as The Grid
learning
about and exploring
Christian
values. After lockdown,
most ofthese
activities were able to continue
in a different way online.
~ Youth Club on Tuesday evenings
attracted 6-8 young people aged 11-16
from the community
for a varied programme
ofsocial and craft activities and
again met occasionally
online after lockdown.
~ Girls' Tribe for primary
aged girls met monthly
until lockdown,
but then had
to close. However Taco Belles for teenage
girls was able to continue
online
on a monthly
basis and provided
some helpful contact.
~ Boys' Brigade on a Monday
evening
is a small company
with 13boys aged
for 5-11years old. The boys enjoy a range ofsports, crafts, games and
other activities. Some activities went online during the lockdown,
while
contact was maintained
by email and telephone.
~ Toddler Group was regularly
attended
by about 20-25 families
on
Wednesday
mornings,
where the parents/carers
are able to chat together
while their children
have fun in a caring environment.
Meeting ceased with
lockdown,
though some online activities were provided.
~ Families Matter at Hythe
URC is a Ministry Team ofthe church but
operates as a charity
in its own right serving the needs ofthe local
community,
especially families. Projects included
parent support
with
complex family issues, SWANS (Support
with Additional
Needs), ADHD
Support group, Mental health group, Women's
Wellbeing
Group and various
schools work, including
On The Right Track school transition
work. 'Hythe
Huddle'
and 'Blackfield Bubble' supporting
people with dementia
and their
carers meets every month, as well as the Memory Group.
~ During the lockdown
most activities
had to stop, but contact was maintained
with those involved. Parcels for vulnerable
elderly and families
in need
were provided
and packed lunches to some children
during
half-term.
At
Christmas 65 families received hampers
and children Christmas
presents.
~ Men@Cornerstone
met on a Saturday
morning
in February when about 20
men enjoyed
full English breakfast
followed
by a talk from a speaker. Since
then contact has been maintained
by email where possible.
~ Mission work has been supported
in several places around the world,
in Uganda
(through
Romans 1-11Trust) funding
new church
building
and
pastor support and
in Ukraine
in support
ofHope Now.
In January/February
a team of8also visited Sierra Leone to support
Devine Grace Ministries
in
Kafanta, leading
an exciting pastors conference,
repairing a number
of
wells, and supporting
the construction
ofa bread oven and the on-going
sewing,
soap-making
and fishing projects.
~ Only one fundraising
event was possible
during the year —that ofthe New
Year Lunch raising 6354for the Outreach
Fund.
Review ofthe Charity's The Church's
finances remain
in a positive position,
and though there are
financial position issues that will need to be addressed
in the coming year, we have a
sound
platform
on which to build for the future.
In spite ofthe church being closed for much ofthe year and a loss of
crucial rental income, offerings have remained
constant and very much
inline with the budget predicted
before the pandemic.
Though there was
a loss in the year ofjust over R4,000 this was still very much
in line with
what was expected. The end ofyear balance was around 621,000, which
includes F3,000set aside for our buildings.
It is still a time ofuncertainty
as we start to recover from the pandemic,
but the bi
est financial issue is the buildin
and the cost ofessential
