Cleckheaton Methodist Church Annual Report: September 2021 - August 2022
Minister: Revd M. Olsen; Treasurer: Mrs M. Brancken.
At the end of the year our church membership was 74 and the average congregational attendance at services was 48.
We continue to hold weekly morning services of worship including monthly services of holy communion and monthly all age worship. On weeks when the service is not an all-age worship, Junior church meets with engaging activities provided to help the young people and leaders explore the Christian faith. Throughout the year we also have several own arrangement services and benefit from the gifts in leading worship which members of the congregation have.
Most of our services have been live-streamed and available to watch afterwards via Facebook. Data shows that throughout the week this resource is well used and encouraging comments are left. This provision has been very much appreciated by those not able to attend worship in person.
We have been involved with Churches together in Cleckheaton and District and have held special services to mark the Christian festivals. During Advent and Lent we met together for fellowship and to discuss the Bible, sharing with members from St Andrew’s Methodist Church, Liversedge.
We held a memorial service to which we invited the families and friends of those whose loved ones had their funeral services in the church during the previous year. The weekend this was scheduled brought snow, although this led to a reduced congregation several of those who had wanted to attend were still able to do so online.
The church has a good network of pastoral visitors and pastoral support is a very important part of what we do.
During the year we continued to support and host Cleckheaton foodbank. The Acts 435 work was put on hold for May – July but restarted towards the end of the church year. There is a real awareness of the level of need in the community around us: the church community fund is maintained so as to be able to respond appropriately to that need in addition to the response which the Foodbank and Acts 435 offer.
The Wednesday lunch club restarted following covid in October 2021 and quickly gained new members, providing food and company to older people.
The weekly Friday coffee morning restarted following covid to provide a space for people from the community to gather and meet each other. Following several conversations with people who spoke about their sense of loneliness, the church put in place plans for a new initiative offering a
welcome to the community once a month on a Saturday – this would begin in September 2022.
Table tennis and snooker groups restarted providing a space to not only play but to socialise and offer mutual support.
We are glad to be able to let our premises to a variety of user groups and in particular to support the Brownies and Guides who meet weekly.
