**during the year**|We have again achieved the budget requirements of the Nazarene South
District, which contributes to their costs, the running of the Didsbury
Nazarene Theological College, the benevolent fund for retired ministers
and World Evangelism. We have also helped a number of persons
through times of serious illness and bereavement by prayer, and pastoral
care.
Over the year we have have experienced an increase in ethnically
diverse attendees.
Much of the year was taken up with investigating possibility of purchasing
a redundant Methodist chapel to use as our own place of worship and
running clubs, even though it would involve stretching our financial
resources. However by a slender margin the membership decided not to
proceed with the purchase and remain in the local school hall.| ||| |**Section E**
