Annual Report 2024
Things have changed little in the work of the ehurch. When the Covid restrictions

one service on Sunday mornings. This has meant the congregation is smaller than
before Covid.
The siaiemeni of assels and liabilities shows thal we are in the black and able to pay
our Creditors. Sadly the general income of the church has dropped and the accounts
ar¢ not as healthy as one would wish.
We still continue to take money out of the general fund for giving to other Christian
works and ￿'Orkers as the Elders see fit.

we are fulfilling our aim. The public benefit from our being in this location. The
church is used each year by the Local Council as a voting centre for both local and
general eleciions.
We continue to employ a full time worker. his duties include visiting people at home
and in hospital. He is the main conlact for people as he lives very near to the church.
IIC has r¢fj¢ntly rcduccd the numbers of hours h¢ work5 per wcck, as we havc no
midweek meetings he felt it right to reduce his hours.
Thc TtU5tccs arc dclisiitcd to ￿]noU11cC that tlree church mcnibcrs havc voluntccrcd
to become trustees, they are younger than the present trustees and will be a great asset
to the work. Thev attended a recent trustees meeting as observers and will be
welcomed in at th¢ next meeling.
