In July it was our Pleasu to welcome back two members of our congregation who we are supporting in theii mlnlstry oversea5. learning about the different needs felt by people in those countries. and how we can help to reach people far less fortunate than ourselves. We also had some visitors from a churth in Cambodba during July. who shared an update on the ehurches and pastors that they serve. aoser to home. and later in the summer we ontè again held a week-long hollday club for chlldren aged between 7 and 11. With a Mount Kilimanjaro theme, children from the village and surroundin8 areas came for a few hours eath day to leam about thé Proverbs recorded In the Bible, taking part in game5, songs and craft actNlties. On the last dav. parents and carers were able to come and hear from the children what they had leamed throu6hout the week, showcasin8 thelr knowledge and crafting creatNity. In NLwember, RCCI was onte agaln able to support the vSlla8e in Its commemorations for Remembrance Sundav, provitling use of the bulldlng as a weparatlon area beforehand, and hostin8 some people from the wlla8e for a hot drink aftetwards. In the run up to Christmas, Rca wa5 able to enga8e with our local community both wtthin and beyond the thurth building. In November, a few of us went to Barringers crt, leadlng some of the $(dents In the sSn8Sng of Christmas Carols, and sharfng the 8ospel message. This abo provSded a 8reat opportunlty for us to 8et to know some more people from our village a little more. In December. RCCI hosted a sunday evening Carol seNice. tornbining tarol songs and stripture readings to tell the Christmas st¢yy. As In p05 yeats, thls provided a 8at opportunity for the whole congregatlon to Come together and brirg their talents in an evenlngthat blesses everyc41e that comes. We were glad to have opportunltles to come together th other churches In comblned services this past year, indudlng a baptsm Servi held in November. It's always encoura8ln8 to meet with other Christians, and to be able to share our facS1ities with congregations that do noi have their own space to host a baptism servi. Towards the end of the year, we put the flnishing touches to our training prcgram for the new small groups mlnlstrles. These will focus on putting the lessons th we leam from our Sunday morning study of the biblè into prarti¢e. and we had some very productive tlmes with the new leaders, many of whom have Bat experience in rnnning effectivè small groups. Thls work compllments our gathering together on Sunday tnomings for worship. prayer and the preathin8 of the word. Saturday momlng men's aThl wom,$ breakfs conttnued throughout the year and provided an opportunlty for thurth members. as well as members from other con8re8atlons to meet for Infomal bible study and Christian fellowshlp.
