Church Secretary Report
Pastor Christians, Board Members, Members, Church Family and Friends, I greet you all in the sublime name of Yahweh our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Pastor Christians for his leadership and the various departments of Clapham Junction Church of the Nazarene for all their input in 2020 and they are The Sunday School Department, The NMI Department, The Trustees Department and The Stewards Department.
Also I would like to thank Roger Gaskin for his diligence, commitment and faithfulness in ensuring that the Church grounds is kept tidy and also attending to other related matters. Ofcourse how can I forget the Worship Team – Winston Walters, Vinnel Smith, Michael Grant, Mr Sterling and Cherianne Johnson. Thank you all for your dedication and support. 2020 has been a very nostalgic year with challenges and highlights.
In my report I would like to focus on the highlights but what saddened me was not being able to congregate at church with fellow worshippers and give my Lord the praise He deserves and to see the joy that radiates from such action.
Also how affected the elderly folks of the Church were as they were not being able to come to the Sanctuary to exhale and the comprehension of modern technology was also an issue. We all know that the COVID19 virus has caused so much devastation and division within the world but at the end of it all I know who is in control.
I am very ecstatic to report that the CJ Church Budget and NMI Budget payable to the British Isles South District has been paid in full.
With closure of places of worship by the Government Clapham Junction Church had to move swiftly and explore avenues on how to keep the Church Family together in such a challenging time. And this brings to mind a sermon I once heard “Launching Out In The Deep”. Due to this adversity it birthed the online Sunday Worship and Message and Wednesday Evening Bible Study via Face Book and once normality resumes, it will be one of the tools that will help to make CJ Church of the Nazarene known to the community and the world.
The Clapham Junction Church of the Nazarene Web Site was launched in April 2020 and is visible to the world. Donations can now be made online and various activities can be viewed even though it is limited due to various restrictions which has to be followed.
Another highlight for me was the Seeds of Hope Mugs a brainchild of the NMI Department which was able to raise £1800.00 and the proceeds was able to support the BISD COVID Response with £1000.00, CAPS with £250.00, SAT 7 TV with £150.00 and Shelter with £100.00.
The Sunday School Department was again able to support the Shoe Box Ministry and a special thank you to the Sunday School Superintendent Miss Diana Hart and team for all the ardent work to make it possible.
I have intentionally left the most significant highlight for me, for last and that is the CJ Church Building Project.
After seven years the vision that Pastor Bentham had in 2013 is materialising.
The architectural plans that was on the Church walls for the past seven years is finally becoming a reality and the contractors PAPG Interiors Ltd took up residence at 2 Grant Road on the 7[th] December 2020.
The long, long wait is over and now the work begins to make Clapham Junction Church of the Nazarene the beacon of the Battersea community and beyond. The adrenalin is high despite the challenge of having a deficit of around £75,000.00 but we serve a great God who is able to supply once it is in His will. So we continue on with our eyes fixed on Jehovah Jireh our provider. This is the time for unification to become a routine for success to be a reality.
I must also say a special thank you to the faithful covenant members who subscribe month after month despite the pandemic situation. I am trying to get more people to sign up to Git Aid Scheme but it has been unsuccessful so far but I will keep trying as Rome was not built in a day.
I embrace the concept of giving because the return on investment is infinite.
2021 is here and I wait with great expectancy for what blessings God has in store for us. I close with Philippians 3: 14 – I press towards the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Respectively Submitted Church Secretary Mrs Lorraine Daw ( Jesus Christ Is The Common Ground )
