During the year reported the church has been faithful to her mandate in various ways: 1. The provision of two public worship services (including prayer, the reading of God’s Word, the preaching of a sermon, and sung praise) every Sunday. 2. The administration of the Lord’s Supper twice per month. 3. The holding of a prayer meeting and Bible study every Thursday evening. 4.

The free Christian literature and free bibles book table in Holywell high street on Saturday afternoons has ceased. The church makes no charge for any event, food, or provision. Anyone is welcome to attend the Church and various meetings. The costs of provisions are borne by voluntary giving from church members and those who wish to contribute from the congregation. We, as a church give thanks to God for the people who attend our meetings who would not normally attend a church service. We continue to seek a Pastor, prayerfully awaiting God’s provision. As a church for Sunday and Thursday services we continue to have preachers from various churches throughout the UK meet our spiritual needs.
