The 2020 Church Activity report
.THE REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH of GOD Christ Assembly Parish has had a fruitful and encouraging year. We started 2020 by reaching out to the community with prayers and our skill development events.
In January 2020, the focus was on prayer of peace in the community and getting closer to God. The event aimed to launch the Southmead community into the New Year with an aim of peace in the homes and harmonious living by using our own teachers to teach different strategies on making homes loving; the importance of planning was also taught. We also had teachers that taught on strategies concerning money management. All those in attendance left the programme satisfied and enlightened in terms of need for peaceful community.
From end of February, the church was having meetings online and many outdoor activities were suspended followed by the national lock-down. In the month of July, Christ Assembly Parish we have to clean-up and sanitize the building and carried out risk assessment by a certified risk assessor. Importance of hygiene; hand washing was a focus as well as giving welfare to people in need. The Church workers had the annual training and skill development which was anchored by a guest lecturer. The ‘Workers-in-Training’ programme allowed upcoming workers to be taught the attributes of a Christian worker in the church according to the doctrine of THE REDEEMED CHRISITIAN CHURCH of GOD. The programme was also targeted at the current workers to refresh their knowledge concerning the attributes of a good worker in the Church.
Our Teachers also utilised the opportunity to give strategies towards managing conflicts as well as interpersonal relations. In the month of September, the church had the community outreach programme titled “Church-on-the-move”. In this programme, the Church reached out to the community with some useful information for peaceful living. The programme was a success and well received by the community of Southmead.
December, it was time for Christmas and thanksgiving. A Christmas carol programme was organised. As this programme is always well received by members of Southmead community every year, Christmas gifts were distributed to people within the community. Like the previous years, every department in the church showed significant commitment to ensure the success of the programme. The children in the children’s department rehearsed with their teachers for their performance on the day and the choir also devoted their time to intense rehearsals in time for the event. There were specific workers chosen from each department to read a passage from the Bible concerning the birth of Jesus Christ, which is the focus at every single Christmas Carol Service hosted by Christ Assembly Parish. Towards the end of December, the church had its New Year’s Eve vigil in which members of the Southmead community attended to enter the New Year with Christ Assembly Parish

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the
Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of
the Act and that an independent examination is needed. [The charity’s gross income exceeded
£250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of CIMA
It is my responsibility to:
•
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
•
to follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section
145(5)(b) of the Act, and
•
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a
comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any
unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees
concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that
would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts
present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement
below.
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention (other
than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect,:
•
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act; or
•
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
•
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and
content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008
other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a
matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination
to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of
the accounts to be reached.
