Trustees Report SHCF 2023/24
We worship each Sunday at the Church and have Bible Studies and Prayer Meetings on Zoom and in homes.
We have continued with our community projects: Coffee Mornings. Kids Club, Youth Group, as well as a ‘Drop In Centre’ in cooperation with the NHS service.
Church ‘Giving’ has been consistent throughout the year and many members contribute monthly by on line bank transactions. We have also obtained some funding from John Lyon Charity for holiday outings for our Youth and Children’s Work.
This year we have appointed Deacons at the church for the first time, who are beginning to take responsibilities in various aspect of church life.
