The Trustees consider that these<br>activities, summarised below, provide<br>benefit, both to those who worship at our<br>church and wider communities of<br>Redbourn, Harpenden, Luton and the wider<br>area.

|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|Main Achievements and performance of the<br>Charity during the year**.**<br>Due to the global Coronavirus pandemic<br>the way we have operated has changed<br>significantly over the period. The following<br>activities have been adapted to reflect the<br>restrictions and limitations imposed on<br>society.<br>**Sunday Service**<br>Sunday mornings have usually been the<br>main meeting time and a time for us to<br>gather as a church family. We have<br>opportunity to praise God together, to pray<br>together, to encourage one another, to<br>gather around the word of God together.<br>We work hard to let the text of the Bible<br>speak because what God has to say is<br>more important than the preacher's<br>wisdom. Prayer is so important, so that God<br>would keep us humble as we gather, that<br>God would give us ears to hear what the<br>Spirit is saying to the church through the<br>living, enduring, powerful word of God.|





In order to continue with the above after the first national lockdown and implementation of restrictions we moved all our operations to an online offering. Initially making use of Youtube to post pre-recorded services consisting of individual video contributions from service leaders, preachers, musicians etc. Following the success of these videos we developed a Zoom offering whereby church congregation could gather together virtually via the Zoom online platform. This allowed for ‘live’ sermons, sung worship, prayer and fellowship whilst adhering to the government guidelines during lockdown. As restrictions were eased and the tiered system implemented we did return to ‘inperson’ gathering, but only as a socially distanced and Covid-secure format. We continued to encourage the congregation to attend virtually via our live streams, but were able to cater for our congregation locally who were unable to make use of the online option. **Growth Groups** ChristChurch has a number of Bible study groups where the Bible is studied and prayer takes place in someone’s home. Typically, 8-10 attend each of the groups. This has been a helpful and informal way of studying the Bible, through study and questions that spring from the weekly Sunday sermons. The groups are also a smaller family within the larger church family, where relationships can develop and support and encouragement can be given and received. Over the period of reporting all our Growth Groups shifted to an online Zoom meeting format. This proved very successful, with attendance remaining steady, and in some cases increasing. **Munch & Natter** Munch ‘N’ Natter is our group for over 55s, which would traditionally meet once a month, on a Friday, for lunch. We currently have about 25 regular members who attend each month, although our membership list is roughly 30. We run a 2 hour session which includes lunch, a quiz and a short talk based on a passage from the Bible, and we regularly have themed lunches, which might also include other activities such as a guest speaker, games or, in the summer months, perhaps a trip to a local garden centre. Our members are encouraged to bring friends or neighbours along, and at our special Christmas lunches, held early in December, we 



usually cater for around 35 people. We have a great team supplemented by some who join us on an occasional basis, so that we have time to spend with our members, provide a welcoming atmosphere, and we can encourage everyone to get to know each other and, hopefully, form friendships which can extend beyond Munch ‘N’ Natter. Our team hopes that all who come will learn a little more about God’s love for them, will have fun, build friendships and be able to enjoy a tasty meal together. Unfortunately, due to the Covid restrictions and national lockdown we have been unable to run this ministry since March 2020. **Coffee, Cake and Chat** Every Tuesday afternoon we have opened our church building for all in the local community to come in and enjoy a free cup of tea / coffee and some homemade cakes and biscuits. A good number of regulars have been coming along including some of retirement age, but also some with babies / younger children. There is a space for toys, games and books and plenty of tables and chairs for people to gather, get to know one another and chat over a cuppa. CCC is run by a great group of volunteers and are kept amply supplied by a list of home bakers, to whom we are very grateful. Unfortunately, due to the Covid restrictions and national lockdown we have been unable to run this ministry since March 2020. **Cutting Edge – Men’s Group** On the third Saturday morning of each month the two Cutting Edge men’s Bible study groups meet for breakfast, in someone’s home to share recent experiences, help and encourage each other, while studying the Bible and praying together. One of the significant features is the range of ages, experiences and back grounds of those who attend. There are a couple of additional events or visiting speakers 3 times a year. Since March 2020 all our Cutting Edge groups have shifted to an online Zoom alternative. **Ladies Devotional Breakfast** Twice a term we hold a breakfast for the women of the church, usually at 2 private homes but sometimes all together at our Fish St building. We share together over breakfast, and after we discuss a theme 



and what the Bible has to say about it. There is usually time for a short prayer too.These breakfasts are attended by a wide age-range of ladies from the church, and sometimes it is attended by friends/neighbours of attendees **.** Since March 2020 all our Ladies devotional groups have shifted to an online Zoom alternative. **Training (Bible Teaching) evenings** Throughout the year we have sought to develop those involved in teaching the Bible. We have been running training sessions for small group Bible study leaders and those teaching the Bible to children and young people. We have also held training sessions for those on our Pastoral Care team. Alongside this, a number of 1:1 meetings happen, designed to see people trained and / or growing in their faith. Since March 2020 all our training groups have shifted to an online Zoom alternative. **Children / Youth Activities Sunday morning activities during the service;** • **Crèche** - Crèche runs during the latter part of the church service on a Sunday morning. It's held in the upper room alongside the infant academy group. We care for children from birth to 3 years old (nursery aged) whilst their parents attend the morning service. • **Infant and Junior Academy** – We have children spread across both groups, with a team of DBS checked adults and helpers who share the leading responsibilities. The Infants listen to a bible story and then do activities and craft related to the story. The Juniors have the same passage with activities and sometimes a discussion on how the Bible passage relates to their own Christian life. • **Sunday Access** – Our Sunday group for 11-15 year olds has been following the same material as the wider church. The aim of the sessions is to teach the Bible faithfully in a fun and effective way. The group runs on alternating Sundays, which gives the opportunity for the teenagers to sit and learn with the adults every other week to help them learn to get used to listening to longer talks. 



|**Children and Youth Midweek groups**|**Children and Youth Midweek groups**|
|---|---|
|•|**Starfish**– Starfish Baby and|
||Toddlers meets on Thursday|
||mornings. We have mums, dads,|
||grandparents and child-minders|
||attending each week. Our sessions|
||include free play, crafts, snack time|
||for the children and refreshments for|
||the parents who attend. Once a half|
||term we tell a Bible story, which has|
||been very well received. God has|
||blessed Starfish in so many ways|
||since it started 10 years ago, it is|
||such a joy to see so many people|
||attending the sessions. At the|
||Family Carol service, we see lots of|
||parents, grandparents, aunts and|
||uncles all coming together to watch|
||their loved ones performing in the|
||Nativity play**.**|
|•|**Daddy & Me –**Daddy and me|
||sessions are held each year on the|
||Saturday before Mother’s Day. The|
||children enjoy spending time with|
||their Dads, Grandads and Uncles|
||making presents, cards and crafts|
||for their mums. Bacon butties and|
||refreshments are on offer during the|
||session. Some of the men from|
||CCR come along to welcome|
||everyone from Starfish and help|
||with the crafts. There’s a lovely|
||atmosphere as everyone chats|
||together and new friendships are|
||made.|
|•|**Illuminate**– Illuminate continues to|
||be a place where children in school|
||years Reception to 6 can come|
||along for games, crafts and to learn|
||more about the Bible and about|
||what Christians believe. Every week|
||they arrive and have some free play|
||in the church building. We then join|
||together for activities altogether.|
||These vary from week to week,|
||ranging from games, challenges,|
||singing, crafts and trying out new|
||things. We then spend some time|
||together listening to a Bible talk|
||where they can learn about|
||Christianity. Often there is time for|
||more activities or more free play|
||afterwards.|
|•|**Fish Tank**– Fish Tank is a youth|
||group that runs every Sunday in|
||term time from 7-8.30pm for school|
||years 7- 13. The session includes|
||games, activities, Bible teaching|
||and snacks/drinks. We aim to be a|
||place where the teenagers can feel|





||comfortable and cared for, which|comfortable and cared for, which|comfortable and cared for, which|comfortable and cared for, which|comfortable and cared for, which|comfortable and cared for, which|

||has been hugely improved since the||||||
||addition of 2 extra leaders onto the||||||
||team. The children are always||||||
||encouraged to bring friends with||||||
||them.||||||
|•|**Youth work**– Our youth worker||||||
||also regularly meets teenagers who||||||
||want to discuss things further about||||||
||Christianity. These can be 121 or in||||||
||slightly bigger groups. They are||||||
||always done in public places and||||||
||with parents’ permission,||||and||
||although|time is limited,||anyone||is|
||welcome to ask. They are an||||||
||opportunity||for more teaching on the||||
||Bible and what Christians believe,||||||
||or for pastoral discussions, but this||||||
||is mainly|decided by what the|||||
||teenager wants from the group and||||||
||what they are comfortable with.||||||
|•|**The Pod**|–The Pod is similar to|||||
||Coffee, Cake and Chat but for||||||
||children.|It’s an after school drop in|||||
||on a Tuesday afternoon. Children||||||
||can enjoy games together in the||||||
||hall, video games in the|||back room|||
||and board games. On the odd||||||
||occasion some young people have||||||
||done homework! There is a great||||||
||team of volunteers supplying hot||||||
||chocolate, refreshments||||||
||(occasionally waffles) and a||||||
||listening ear. We have some young||||||
||people who attend the church and||||||
||some that don’t and have||||||
||thoroughly enjoyed hanging out||||||
||together.||||||
|**Since March 2020 all our youth and**|||||||
|**childrens work**||**has been shifted to an**|||||
|**online offering.**||**Initially this was via**|||||
|**weekly videos posted to our YouTube**|||||||

|**Mission outside Redbourn.**|||||||
|CCR’s vision is to develop and encourage|||||||
|folks in|the CCR congregation to||||serve||
|outside|the Redbourn area. The mission||||||





team’s role is to support, encourage and nurture these activities. This year we have maintained our links with Konjic in Bosnia to support a small missionary team there. The church continues to support this mission with regular financial support as well as occasional gift days to give towards needs. We have had regular contact from an English missionary linked to Bosnia and from a missionary linked to Radstock, a Christian charity that seeks to build partnerships between churches around the world for mutual benefit. We have a number of overseas missionaries associated with us that we support on an ad hoc basis and also individual members have many links. **Prayer meetings** We meet as a church to pray together once a month on a Sunday. Prayer topics range from prayer for church people and activities to prayer for missionaries and the local community. Prayer also takes place in our Growth Groups on a weekly basis and before our Sunday morning service. Prayer meetings have been held virtually since March 2020 **Plans for the future Priorities, Training and Growth** Our plans for development of our Fish Street building were put on hold following the national restrictions, however we have developed a significant online live streaming capability using the technology available to us to continue to serve our community as best we can. We have invested in digital recording equipment and software to facilitate live streaming of services, along with the Zoom meetings software to continue interaction with the church congregation. We have been developing the idea of appointing a further apprentice to develop the ministry of our youth and children's work. We continue to liaise with the church leaders and members to prayerfully consider how to make progress in this area

## **Additional governance information** 

|Policies and procedures<br>adopted for the induction<br>and training of trustees|Para 1.51|Upon appointment, all Trustees are made<br>aware of the scope of their responsibilities<br>under the Charities Act with additional<br>training given if required. Trustees are<br>given a copy of the Constitution and a<br>number of Publications from the Charity<br>Commission are also provided, including<br>the guidance on charities and public benefit<br>and on the advancement of religion for the<br>public benefit. The Trustees have assessed<br>the risks the Charity faces and have<br>conducted a formal risk analysis that<br>identifies the major risks by area of activity,<br>the nature of those risks, the likelihood of<br>the risks happening and the measures<br>taken to manage them. The Trustees<br>review the risks regularly at their meetings.<br>In addition, the individual sub-committees<br>take responsibility for their area of risk,<br>reviewing this when they meet and<br>reporting back at the full Trustees meeting.<br>The  Trustees  are  satisfied  that  systems<br>are  in  place,  or arrangements are in<br>hand, to manage the risks that have been<br>identified. In particular, insurance cover is<br>in place and the finances of the church are<br>kept under regular review. The church has<br>a Safeguarding Policy, which is based on<br>the Churches  Child  Protection  Advisory<br>Service  model which  is reviewed annually.<br>The Policy sets out the Church’s<br>procedures for the protection of children<br>and vulnerable adults. It describes what the<br>church and its appointed leaders will do to<br>protect the welfare of the children and<br>vulnerable adults in Church-linked groups.<br>These procedures reflect the intention of<br>the Church to apply the Home Office Code<br>of Practice ‘Safe from Harm’ intended for<br>voluntary organisations. Appropriate<br>Criminal Records Bureau (DBS) checks,<br>supported by regularly reviewed policies,|

|The charity’s organisational<br>structure and any wider<br>network with which the<br>charity works|Para 1.51|The Charity Trustees are responsible for<br>the general control and management of the<br>Charity. The Trustees give their time freely<br>and receive no remuneration or other<br>financial benefits. Where appropriate,<br>trustees are granted maternity/paternity<br>leave. A trustee that has served in a<br>particularly demanding role, e.g. as Minister<br>or Treasurer, may be granted a period of<br>sabbatical leave. The Minister is a Trustee<br>and is paid a reasonable salary with the<br>benefit of housing being provided thereby<br>providing benefit for his family. The<br>Trustees meet together as a body to deal<br>with church business monthly  and  formal<br>Managing  Trustees  meetings  take place<br>quarterly.   All  meetings  are  formally<br>minuted.  Trustees  are responsible for all<br>decisions taken, and the activities provided<br>by the Charity. To assist in the smooth<br>running of the Charity the Trustees have<br>set up a number of sub-committees that<br>help them oversee certain aspects of the<br>charity’s work. These sub-committees<br>report back with their recommendations to<br>the full meeting of the Trustees.  A church<br>guide defines the ways of working of the<br>charity – This was adopted by the members<br>at a meeting on 9th May 2012.|
