Christ Assembly Bristol 2022 Activity Report

THE REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH of GOD Christ Assembly Parish has had a very productive and encouraging year. We started the year by reaching out to the community. In the month of January, the church had the community outreach programme title ‘Church-on-the-move’. In this programme, the workers in the church along with some members of the youth department took evangelism flyers for distribution throughout the Southmead community. The programme was a great success and well received by the community of Southmead. A youth advancement programme aimed at developing excellence and diligence in

their academic took place in February 2022. The youths in the church were encouraged to invite friends to come and participate in the thought-provoking programme. The programme encouraged the youths participating in the programme to have understanding of terms such as ‘vision’ and discuss their personal ambitions. The youths were encouraged to become passionate about developing new and useful skills as well as develop good time management as they

progressed through their secondary education and prepare for their A-level and GCSE Exams. As the programme drew to a close, they were provided with ample refreshments and the ability to socialise in a relaxed environment.

In the month of March, Christ Assembly Parish had the annual training and skill development for workers. A guest lecturer from Nigeria was in charge of the Training. ‘Workers-inTraining’ programme where we taught upcoming workers 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 used the opportunity to give strategies towards managing conflicts and good communication skills as well as customers relations.

April 2022, an outreach programme was organised and areas such as Brentry; Henbury were visited spreading the good news of Easter period. Gifts and food items were given to people in Southmead. In May 2022, we held our annual 24-hour prayer program at the church. This was well received by Southmead community as there was more opportunity for counselling. Also, Christ Assembly Parish had its Good women empowerment programme that was centred on good parenting skills as well as caring for our loved ones. Our teachers, including invited teachers, gave teachings

on how families and individuals could improve communication and demonstrate compassion and love. We also encouraged the members of the community the importance of love and the fear of God and how to handle sensitive reports from their children and about their children.

June 2022, the parish held the summer praise night, which was a music concert, an annual gospel community concert for the North Bristol community. The programme was to collectively praise God continuously for the night. Southmead community and people far and wide were in attendance. This programme involved significant amount of dedication as the Choir department had

spent months rehearsing for the programme. Also, the women’s department devoted their time into decorating the church in time for the programme. The men’s department were actively involved, in terms of logistics, ensuring that people working in the church late in the evening were transported home safely. The event was a success and those in attendance left with the feeling of hope, joy, and worship as was the intention of the programme.

Sept 2022, the month of new academic year, Christ Assembly Parish carried out an out-reach programme targeting the university campus. A welcome pack was given to the students and church information flyers were distributed to student. The University of West of England Frenchay Campus as well as the University of Bristol were visited. This was also similar to the ‘Church-on-the-move’ targeted at Filton community.

December 2022 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, every department in the church showed significant commitment

to ensure a great success of thew programme. The children in the children’s department rehearsed with their teachers the event they would perform on the day and the choir also devoted their time to intense rehearsals for the event. There were speci6c workers chosen from each department to read a passage from the bible concerning the birth of Jesus Christ, who is the theme at every single Christmas carol hosted by Christ Assembly Parish. There was a Christmas party and dinner for both members Southmead community and members of the church. All the children in attendance were presented with gifts. Christmas gifts were given to people in community and less privilege – the homeless were given some special packs.

On the last day 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 activity included praise and worship as well as prayers for the New year 2023.
