DEVOTIONAL LIGHT CHURCH Charity number: 1169983
Objectives and Activities
Devotional Light Church is a charity enabling many people as possible to worship at our church and become part of the church. Our service and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.
We try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our church community through:
Worship and prayer; learning about the gospel and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus.
Provision of pastoral care for people living in the community.
Missionary and outreach work.
Achievement and performance
Worship and prayer
Devotional Light Church is keen to offer a range of services during the week and over the course of the year that the community find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. For example, evening
prayers provide a quiet, intimate and reflective environment for worship whilst opportunities are provided for people to engage in more outgoing worship.
We have been successful this year in welcoming more families into our church.
All are welcome to attend our regular services. At present there are 45 members. The average weekly attendance is 28 people in person and 5 people online.
As well as regular service, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. Through baptism we thank God for the gift of life, in marriage public vows are exchange with God’s blessing and through funeral services friends and family express their grief and give thanks for the life which is now complete in this world and to commend the person into Gods keeping.
Outreach and Evangelism
Telling people about Christ Jesus demonstrates our faith. The Outreach and evangelism committee is to be congratulated on their fund- raising and soul winning effort to be out the whole day once every week and three hours twice a week telling people about Jesus.
Financial Review
Total receipts on funds were £69,975 which increase by 30.7 %
