achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|Mount Hermon Community Church
continues its aim of advancing the Christian
faith through the provision of buildings and
services where worship, teaching,
fellowship, mutual encouragement and
wellbeing are promoted in accordance with
principles and doctrines of the Trust Deed.
We seek to support and encourage the
promotion of the Christian faith through an
‘act local & think global’ approach which
means we are very concerned about
spreading the ‘Good News’ of Christianity in
practical ways in our local community
through our own ministry and by supporting
the ministry of other local churches by
supporting them in prayer and promoting
unity by holding joint services and social and
charitable activities. In terms of thinking
globally, we also support the wider mission
of the global church in whatever ways seem
fit.
The Pastor continues as Chaplain to
Doncaster Retro Rovers, a local community
walking football project offering practical and
emotional support. The Pastor has also
become the Chaplain of Doncaster 'Fit
Rovers' and offers friendship & counselling
to members of Doncaster Fit Rovers a
fitness, health and well-being local
community project. However, our Pastor is
experiencing a decline in his health, his hip
operation from 2021 has left him in pain and
with mobility issues and he is going to have
to have ‘Revision Hip Surgery’ hopefully next
year. He is also experiencing other
neurological issues that he is waiting to see
a Neurologist about. These health issues as
well as the Pastor being his wife’s carer
following her strokes in 2019 have meant
that he is unable to do as much as he
wishes he could do with these outside
community projects. That said he has been
involved in the ‘Fit Rovers’ men’s project
giving a talk on mental health to new
members and offering help if anyone needs
it. He is in contact with a number of people
from previous courses and continues to offer
ongoing support.
Our Harvest project this year was to support
the Somalian famine crisis and we did this
by supporting World Vision in their work in
this area of Africa.| We were joined with Bentley Pentecostal Church for a joint service to support Release International who are an organisation supporting persecuted minorities. An offering was taken on the day and further gifts added form both Churches were sent. The details of these gifts and the gift to World Vision is viewable in the annual accounts. We continue to visit one of our dear members who now has Dementia and is now in a Care Home, she is affectionally known as Aunty Jean by all church members and now by personal in the home. The Pastor was asked to continue to give regular spiritual support and we do this by taking a service in the home the last Friday in the month. This service is well attended and appreciated by many residents and staff. A dear lady who used to do so much at church found out that she had pancreatic cancer and that the prognosis was terminal. The Pastor visited on a number of occasions giving support to the lady in question and her family. Our local primary school invited us to support their Harvest Festival Assemblies and their Christmas choir concert that they held at school this year rather than our church, which they had previously historically done. Our AGM/Member’s meeting was held on September 25[th] 2022 in which the accounts, as laid out in CC16a (attached) were presented following internal and external examination. Voting for our church offices took place during the AGM and both church offices (Chief Steward and Acting Church Treasurer) were both re-elected. Analysis of accounts show that, for the second year now, income has exceeded expenditure. This will be discussed at our next AGM and members meeting 2023. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
