Indeed, the two were active in all aspects of church life through all their years as members. We remember them with respect and affection. John ,sadly, is no longer with us and Eirlys has health issues. She is in care and no longer able to contribute as she would wish to cuurch life. This year at a Church Meeting her long service was recognised by appointing Eirlys an Honourary Deacon. The care responsibilties of our Minister ,Jill, has increaed during the year with many members receiving hospital treatment and others confined to home or in care.Attending services is a struggle for some, but all attending benefit and are blessed under the guidance of our Minister. Also appreciated are services led by visiting Ministers, friends and our own members. The technical facilities now available to us under the guidance of member Matthew Jenkins enhance our worship significantly. Thanks are due to Mrs Marilyn Roberts for her work, over the years, in preparing services and arranging services when our Minister is not present. Health problems made this year a difficult one forMarilyn. She will no longer be responsible for arranging Sunday services and we thank her most sincerely for her work and dedication over the years. The relationship between Tabernacl and Bethania continues to benefit both churches and in 2023 a formal agreement was signed to confirm the relationship. The agreement was approved by Tabernacl menmbneres in a Church Meeting.. The agreement has rceived the approval of The Presbyterian Church of Wales. We are grateful for the weekly contributions of church memberss, Easter Gifts, Missionary and Christian Aid donations and support fot the local Food Bank.The cost of maintaining the Ministry is increasing and £1,466.30 from the Union of Welsh Independents is appreciated. The new chair of the Deaconate is Mr Huw Tregelles Williams. He has agreed to return to the post in order to release Mrs Rhian Williams to become Church Secretary. Dr Betsan Rosser is the new Treasurer. It is pleasing to see newly appointed deacons accepting church responsibilities. Mrs Susan Hughes arranges Sunday flowers and visits unwell members. Mr Gareth Sims opens and closes the building for services and looks after the heating arrangements. Mr Matthew Jenkins continues to deal with Audio Visual matters so that we are able to gain full benefit from the facilities in place. Unfortunately, the team that undertook building maintenance duties is unable to continue. The team has saved the church many thousands of pounds through their efforts and we thank them for their practical contribution . In January 2023, in the care of our new architect, Amanda Needham work started on adapting the Vestry The first stage will clear the Vestry, remove the stage, demolish the kitchen and put in services for the new adaptations. At the second stage new rooms will be created with a central hall and kitchen facilities alongside. The facilities will be of a high standard. Ms Jacqui Box and members of The External Funding Team of the City and County of Swansea have been particularly helpful by reviewing financial matters, making grant applications and providing day to day support. The new Trustees are meeting but the transfer of building ownership has not yet raken place This will be my final Annual Report. Mrs Pamela John will also retire as Treasurer. We offer our best wishes to Rhian and Betsan in their new posts and wish every blessing on the Tabernacl Morriston Congregation at a new and exciting stage in the story of Tabernacl.
