|||||||Mid-week groups for church members<br>orthose interested<br>in joining The|
|||||||Church are on-going.|
|||||||In the Christmas<br>period the Church<br>Members<br>carried out "acts of|
|||||||kindness"<br>during<br>which many activities were carried out to contribute to|
|||||||the local and global community<br>(e.g. litter picking, donating<br>to local food|

|charity's||policy||on reserves||development,<br>to do anything<br>more than this is unrealistic,<br>though the|
|||||||Trustees are aware the CIO has a 3-month term commitment<br>on the|
