It 15 Wlth deep gratitude to God that I present this ministerial report reflecting on the life, worship,
3nd mission of Trinity Methodist Church over the past year. As a city-centre church situated on
Rainsford Road in Chelmsford. Trinity continues to serve a5 a place of worship, hospital¥ty,
community engagement. and mission within the wider city.
Worship and Spiritual Life
At the heart of Trinity's life remains the fegular gathering of God's people for worship, prayer, and
fellowship. Week by week. members of the congregation gather to praise God, hear the Scriptures,
share in prayer, and participate in the sacraments. Our services continue to welcome people of all
ages and backgrounds, and we give thanks for the faithful participation of members, volunteers,
musicians, and worship leaders who contribute to the spiritual life of the church.
Throughout the year we have also been blessed by special services. seasonal celebrations, and
occasions that bring together both the church community and visilors from the wider city. As a citv
church, Trinity continues to see a steady flow of visitors and newcomers who join our services and
events. We remain encouraged by these encounters and pray that those who enter this place may
experience the presence and love of God.
Mission and Community Engagement
We give thanks to God for the many missional opportunities that arise through the use of our
building. Our calling is to serve the entire city and all its people, regardless of race. colour. faith, or
ethnicity. As a city-centre church, Trinity Methodist Church Chelmsford seeks to be a welcoming
place where people from many backgrounds can gather, find community, and experience hospitality.
Trirbity Methodist Church is blessed with modern facilities that enable the church to serve a wide
range of community groups and acttvities. Throughout the week the building hosts a variety of
organisations and gatherings including Brownies. Scouts, a Music and Drama group. bereavement
support groups. community events such as an Iftar gatherin& Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, and
fellowship groups from other churches. These actNities ensure that the building is used artively and
meaningfully well beyond Sunday worship.
As a church we increasingly understand ourselve5 riot simply as a congregation gathered for
worship, but as a communFty called outfrom the community forthe community- This vision shapes
how we use our space. our hospltality, and our resources for the benefit of the wider city.
The present trustees have shown generosity. wisdom. and vision in ensuring that the building
remains accessible and available to a range of community groups, ministries, and entrepreneurial
initiatives. Their commitment has enabled Trinity to remain an open and welcoming place for the
people of Chelmsford.
These partnerships bring many people into the building each week who may not otherwise
encounter a church. It is our hope and prayer that through their tiJne in this place, individuals may
experience a warm and welcoming environment. encounter the Christian community, and sense
something of the love and grace of God.
By opening our doors to the wider community. Trinity continues to embody the Methodist calling to
serve its neighbourhood and city. The building therefore functions not only as a place of worship,
but also as a hub of communÉty engagement. creativity. and service.

Membership and Pastoral Life
During the previous rewrting year. Trinity Methodist Church recorded a membership of 125
members. Over the course of the year there have been several changes in the mefflber5hip roll. Two
members transferred to another church, while a nuwnber of faithful members entered into their
eternal rest and were received into God's final home.
At the close of the reporting year 2025, the total recorded membership stands at 119 members.
While the numerical membership has slightly decreased, we remain encouraged by the wider life of
the congregation. As a city church. Trinity continues to welcome many visitor5. guest5, and new
faces who attend our services. concerts, community events. and gatherings. These encounters
remind u5 that the Influen￿ and reach of the church extend beyond the formal membership roll.
We continue to place strong emphasis on pastoral care. fellowship, and mutual stjpport within the
congregation, ensuring that members who are elderly, unwell, or unable to attend regularly remain
connected to the life of the church.
Stewardship and Trusteeship
The trustees of Trinity Methodist Church continue to demonstrate faithful stewardship of the
church's resources, buildings, and mission. Their commitment to maintaining the property and
enabling the building to Serve both church and community is deeply appreciated.
Their careful oversight ensures that the building remains a place where worship, fellowship, and
community activity can flourish. Their work a150 enables the church to respond creatively to
opportunities for outreath and engagement in the city-
Looking Ahead
As we look to the future, Trinity Methodist Church remains committed to its calling as a welcoming
city church that serves Chelmsford with faith, Iiope. and love. We pray that God will continue to
guide our ministry, strengthen our fellowship, and open new doors for mission.
Our prayer remains that every person who enters this building whether for worship, community
activity, or daily work may entounter something of God's presence, grace, and transforffling love.
Thanksgivlng
Finally, I give thanks to God for the faithfulness of the congregation, the dedication of volur)teer5
and leaders, and the support of the trustees who continue to Sustain the ministry of Trinity
Methodist Church.
May God continue to bless this church and all who enter its doors.

Janet Wintle, Property Steward
Whilst general maintenance has continued to be carried out e.g. servicing of both the gas boilers
(Link and Worship Areal. the lift, the Fire Alarm and the Fire Extinguishers other significant work has
also been carried out this calendar year.
Following an accessibility audit commissioned by District it Was determined that extra lighting was
needed on the front arbd back Stairs leading to the upper hall. This was upgraded with large LED
lights on the turning on both staircases. This makes a huge amount of difference to the level of light
especially in the winter months.
The edges of the stairs on both staircases have been marked so that people with reduced sight will
find it easier to see the edges.
It is our intention to finish this work wtth further hand rails where only one rail is present.
The lighting in the Vestibule has had a major update with LED lights fitted into the ceiling.
Further power points have been fitted in the vestibule too.
New blinds have been fitted in the Worship Area.
New speakers have been purchased for the Worship Area.
In 2026 the Church Quinquennial is due to take place. on￿ again, the surveyor will brinE up the
need to repoint the building. This must become a priority for Trinity. Whilst there are no problems
at the moment this could easily escalate. We have a problem with bee5 nesting in the walls of the
main Church, Iwe've already had pest control out in the early summeil.
This was successful but by the end of the summer the bees were back entering from a totally
different place. Repointing should solve this problem.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the Property and Finance committee for all their help this
year. Without their 5UPPOrt thi5 would be 3 very difficult job.

Lettin
janet Wintle Lettings
Lettings continue to improve. For the first time since Covid the Japanese Students ￿tUrned to Trinity
during August. We are hoping that this relationship will continue next year.
The National Trust continue to meet in the Worship Area during the winter months. We provide
refreshments for them in the Link which contributes to the Link Coffee fund enabling a substantial
donation to be made to the Church. I was approached by Next Chapter a domestic abuse charity
based in Colchester and Chelmsford asking if we would donate a meeting Space once a month. This
was agreed and they now meet in the Link monthly. Art classes continue in the Link twice a month.
These are well attended and hopefully will continue.

David Fenton (Group Leader Volunteer)
The Scout Group remains active, albeit with lower section numbers. This is partly due to not having a
Beaver Colony during 202012021 due to Covid and the knock on effect upon Cub / Scout sections.
Unfortunately for a number of different reasons. we lost several leaders involved with the Beaver
Colony as one went travelling with their family for a year, one transferred to another group to run
their own section and another started university. This has left the section short and for part of the
year the 8eavers & Cubs held combined meetings which seemed to work satisfactorily.
Both the Cub & Scout sections held full programmes taking part in a number of District activities
where there were sufficient numbers to make up a team. We had several members represent The
Group in the Scout & Guide Gang Show at The Civic Theatre in May.
Both Cubs & Scouts held summer camps, albeit shorter than norrnal, at Mersey Island and
Thriftwood, Brentwood respectively.
With older Scouts moving on. the Troop is now relatively young and for the first time we have more
girls than boys. One of our former sco￿$ was part of an Explorer Expedition to Ghana in the
summer where they helped to ￿buIld a local school as well as seeing the sights.

Nigel Murrell, Chair
It has beerb a very busy time for the Artion group
Discussions took place about the following
Our Mission statement- this will be reviewed every year.
New rotas for the door stewards- How do we encourage more people to sign up for thi5.
How tom attract new members- our target w35 set far tw high. and we need to be
more realistic in our aims. Our new target is 15 in the next year.
How do we attratt new members- University. nearby flats. word of mouth. We have to
look at all ways of achiemng this.
Use of our kitchen for the community- maybe contact outside organisations to see if
they are interested.
Coffee after church- The long table system in the Link seems to be working well. but it
wa5 discussed that coffee at the back of the church once a month would be considered
again. This can all be in place before the service takes place.
Café services- We thought the last one was a success and we need to plane more for
the future.
The calendar of events for 2026. Please look at the notices and the Trinity calendar for
these.
Actions that were taken from these meetings are as follows=
Credtt card machine purchased for the Church
Psalm 91- Emergency code introduced to the congregation
Carols on the forecourt- 3 Saturday's with good response from the public. A big thank
you to all that attended. Perhaps next year we can see many more of you attending.
Mince pies were provided.
The big sing was held on the 14
December. This was a joint effort from TMD and the
congregation. With refreshment5 afterwards.
Our Christmas Buffet wa5 held on Friday 19 of December. This was a big success even
though the numbers attending were considerably down from last year. Big thank you to
Janet and her team who supplied a fabulous buffet. Gerald for playing a selection of
carols. Thank you also to Karen for the publicity. quiz. faffle and prizes. Perhap5 next year
there will be more people attending and enjoying fellowship.
The Christingle service took place on Saturday 20 of December. This was another
success. Thanks to all that attended and made this event happen.
Addirional loft insulation installed.
New heaters installed in the upstairs hall. The old ones along with the very old curtains
were removed and disp05ed. We will be looking at new blinds or curtains in the near
future.
As you can see. we are not just a talking Shop. We try to keep the church moving forward
and making it successful were new people that walk in for the first time feel comfortable
and welcomed and RETURN.
If you have any suggestions that you consider will help the church in any way, please
contact me and I will take them forward to the group.

During the past year, we have met regularly and covered a number of topics. We normally meet
once a month on Thursday afternoons at 14.CX). There are 12 members of our group, but
attendance has been adversely afferted by illness of some members. When some have not been
able to attend, they have always been mentioned ir) our opening prayers.
During the past year we have enjoyed the presence of our minister. Rev Asif, on two Occasions. At the
first he talked about the Christian Church in Pakistan and his involvement with it and on the second
occasion. he took us on a journey looking at various religious sites. We studied two books of the
bible -jude and Amos. the latter posing some challenges but also making us realise how the world
today is so closely reflected ill its words. On a lighter note. we spent one session sharing religious
jokes and funny stories and they were presented in abundance. We devoted one session to the
subject of prayer, spending a good deal of time. praying for the many areas of conflict. distress,
displacement. famine. homelessness and poverty. That was a hard session but one we all feft the
need for. Following on from these topits, we decided to have one afternoon where we could simply
pose questions about current situations and events and everyone was very vocal about their
personal feelings when responding. On another occasion, we all shred our favourite Bible verses and
explained why they were so. In a similar vein, we each brought along a piece of music that was
meaningful to the person who played it and it was a truly emotional and enjoyable experience for all.
We spent a wonderful sunny afternoon in Oaklands Park. where we had a gentle stroll stopping on
three occasions for a short prayer to express appreciab.on of nature and God's creation. This was
followed by a very pleasant afternoon tea in the park café. And our final get-together was when nine
of us shared a lovely lunch together, finding plenty to talk about I the run up to Christmas.
If you would like to join us in the coming year, we would be delighted to welcome you. Please call

Over the last year. we have been rather unsuccessful in trying to recruit new members. But we have
continued to meet 6 times over the year arbd have been blessed with between 12 and 16 attendees
each evening. We have all been shocked and saddened at the loss of our treasurer, Doug Hubble.
who passed away at the end of last year. following a period of ill health in hospital. We grieve his
loss and miss him terribly.
Our first meetirbg ofthe new yearwas attended by 15 members and we were addressed by my son-
in-law, Emi Polito. His work is involved in the scrutiny of video evidence to assist with the conviction
of criminals. This was a hugely illuminakn.ng talk and there was no shortage of questions from our
members. In November, we held our AGM prior to having. what we might call, a maths lessonl Jeff
Green, one of our own members and retired rnaths teacher, put us through our paces and gave us
some signifi.cant challenges along the way. We all responded pretty well but were not sure that any
of us had achieved an A* I I I
Now in 2025, in January, we were delighted to have our new minister, The Rev ￿lf. to come along
and tell us about the state of Christianity in Pakistan. There were some delightful stories and some
that were quite worrying. But we took heart that there were mernbers of the church there who are
thoroughly committed to spreading the love of Jesus and the word of God. In March the mood was
very different to January. and we had Jane Ribeiro, a tutor at RADA. We heard about how students
are helped along their paths to achieve their aims in the world of music and dramatic art. This was
very uplifting as have us all hope for the next generations. In May. we were due to entertain Mark
Smith from Chelmsford City Council. Unfortunately. he was unavailable on the evening but sent one
of his colleagues. Emelia, who gave us great information on how ￿£v(lIng is tackled by the council,
what they do to encourage householders to recycle and gave us all tips on whèt we could do as
individuals. This was useful in our endeavours in church to consider our tK)sition on ECO going
forward. The in July, ladies, night, a local GP, James Mackin. o￿ned oijr eye5 to how a GP surgery is
run. It was nothing short of fascinating and certainly changed our opinions on how we had thought
surgeries worked these days.
We remain extremely grateful to all those who worked hard to provide us with delicious suppers
before our talk5 and I would like to express my personal thanks to Dave Pitt for not only continuing as
Invitations Secretary but taking on the role of Treasurer following Doug's passing. I should mention
that, in March, we were sorry to lose Rev Mark as one of our regular attendees. He has moved to
Bath into a hospital chaplairbcy role and we wish him every success.
lastly, if you are reading this and thinking that you might like to join us, please do not hesitate to get
in touch. You will be most welcomel"

Music and Drama
Eric Smart. Chairman
Well, what a year it's beenl This being our sixtieth year, many events were organised over and above
our normal productions. But let me home in on the production5 h'rst. Our very ambitious production
of Chess took place in November in the church and we had good 3udier)ces at each performance but
with a 12 piece orchestra, we were presented with some challenges. Having Helen Wilson and Mark
Clements jointly directing, these were generally overcome and we are grateful to them both for the
time and effort they put into every rehearsal and producing an end product to be proud of. Our
traditional Christmas concert was a great success and thank5 to Jan Moore who put this together for
us. Soon after that, rehearsals for Carousel We￿ underway and our production in May at the
Chelmsford Theatre was a great success arknstically bLrt less so financially losing around £6,300. This
was a severe blow, but it was encouraging to note that all bar one ttem on the expenditure side came
in below budget. and it was low box office takings that contributed significantly to the deficit. Our
sincere thanks go to Debbie Marks, our director, and Gerald Hindes. our MD, for all their hard work in
getbng such a Super productr.on onstage. Please let rne thank all those who contributed in any way
towards the production, and r)ot least of all. Wiley. who took on the role of stage manager for the
thrsttime.
Our Social and Fundraising team tried to organi5e an event. some small and some very elaborate,
every month. Some were just simple things to take place at rehearsals, but we must congratulate
them on a wonderful celebratory gala dinner at Little Channels for our 60th birthday. I think I can
safely say that all who attended had a thoroughly good time and we were delighted to entertain 3 of
our Founder Members, Ken Rolf and Anton and Veronica Archer. We had a very successful and well-
attended quiz night which generated some very welcome funds into the kitty. These activities need
to be well SUp￿rted as income from them is needed to plug the gap on Show losses and I thank all
of you who continue to support what 15 organised.
2025. being our 60 anrbiversary, we thought it appropriate to return to our roots which were firmly
planted in G&S. Consequently, we ran a one day workshop where individuals spent the whole day
sir)gir)g G&S melodies and choruses, culminaring in a performance lo which the public were invited.
Wowl It was so impressive and enjoyable and we are deeply ir)debted to Jan Moore, who organised
the event, and Felicity Gage who put people through their paces and conducted them on the
evening. It certainly made me wonder why we have moved away from such fabulous shows like
Pirates, Gondoliers. lolanthe and The Mikado! What do you think?
Now I need to express thanks. I must. fi￿t of all, thank Rev Asif for agreeing to be our President
whilst he is the minister for Trinity and we are always happy to see him at any of our committee
meetings. And talking of committee, it would be extremely remiss ol me not to say a huge thank you
to my fellow committee members, all of whom have worked very hard throughout the year. We have
welcomed LaU￿n Russell onto the committee during the year and we hope she will be with u5 for
some time to come. I would not normally single out any member of the committee for special
thanks but I do want to do so now. Emma. Jill and Helen have joined me and have been tireless in
the contributions they have made to some major tasks undertaken by the committee. Thanks so
much. And Jan Moore. too, has given me continuing personal support throughout the year. We are
now well into Godspell. and we hope and pray that we will deliver both an artistic and tinancial
success.
As always, we are deeply indebted to Trinity for allowing us the use of their premises albeit at some
Cost, but we are $0 appreciakn.ve that we have somewhere to call home.

At the end of this financial year, we had £8,804.19 in our bank account.
Overall, we had a surplus in the financial year of £8.985.19.
This is due to a refund from Circuit of £10,693.(Kl. If you remove that amount, we made a loss of
£1,707.81. But this also includes £2.972.00 for new blinds in the worship area. I had budgeted for a
loss of £6,000 but due to our ieserve accounts still attracting high interest rates which put us in a
much better position.

Thank yotj once again Janet and Nick for all your efforts. they are very much appreciated by us all.
General
Bills continue to increase yearly. We must look to reducing our consumption of Gas & Elertricity,
making sure that lights are turned off and heating when not in use. Re the use of the Hall. We have
moved bookings from the hall to the Link where we can reduce the costs to us. This only left large
groups loke the scouts that will use it. This kept our heating bills to a minimum. We intend to
increase the loft insulation and install new heaters very soon. Which hopefully will reduce our
Electricity bills.
Clrcuit
Our contribution to Circuit was £56.364.001£4,697 monthly) This will decrease next year to
£49,450.00 (£4,120.83 monthly} This is mainly due to only having two Ministers in the Circuit next
vear.
General Comments
This has been arbother challenging year. With our ever-increasing costs. to maintain any sort of
status quo we must look at all income streams to generate more. There will be tough times ahead
especially on our finances. As we seem to be under pressure from all sides.
We MUST be careful how we spend the reserves as we are not able to repla￿ them at any time
soon.
I don't know what the future holds for Trinity, but rest assured that the people looking after the
Church are doing a wonderful job in sometimes difficult circumst3nces.
