ofthe period									set and agreed by the members. Since
									2019,we have not had a Minster serving the
									Church and through the pandemic, we did
									not pursue recruiting to the vacant position
									so there was no salaried staff at the Chapel
									through 2020.
									Income remained reasonably consistent so
									over the course ofthe year so there was a
									surplus at the end ofthe financial period.
