HAVEN CHURCH TRUST
Trustees’ Report 2021/2022
We are very grateful to report that as a church we have emerged from the covid crisis relatively unscathed. While it had affected attendance somewhat, we have largely regained our prepandemic position.
We have changed the times of our Sunday services to meet the needs of our regular worshippers, but our Little Stars activities for pre-school children and monthly meetings for ladies at Timeshare and Knit and Natter continue at their regular times.
We are pleased to continue our support for the St Austell Foodbank, to which we were able to give a sizeable one-off donation of foodstuff, following our Harvest Thanksgiving, in addition to our monthly contributions.
The Knit and Natter group, among several other folk, have been working hard to collect and supply items in support of Operation Christmas Child. It was thrilling to be able to send 286 shoeboxes from the church to needy children in parts of Africa and Eastern Europe. The resulting videos, photographs and testimonies from children and workers have further inspired our members to give generously and sacrificially.
We continue to be satisfied that the use of the church building has been in line with the Trust Constitution and for the benefit of the community. The interior is regularly maintained and remains very presentable. The monthly cleaning teams do an excellent job in keeping the building ready for its multi-function.
Our overseas interests continue as we support workers in other countries. Our valued workers in the Philippines have just returned to the UK after 30 years of faithful service on the island of Mindoro. In their semi-retirement they continue regular contact with the Philippines and the needs of the Mangyan people.
Our church plant on the island of Madeira, with two of our church members, is growing steadily. We maintain regular contact with them through emails, plus weekly audio and video communication. They have been encouraged by the support of two additional full-time workers who have moved to the island, one of whom is a Madeiran. They and their family are a big help and support to our two church members who are labouring among a multi-national population on Madeira.
The usual annual inspections of our church building have been conducted and updated where necessary. This has included fire protection as well as the testing of the church’s electrical and AV systems. Trust policies, including a new Whistleblowing Policy, are annually revisited, reviewed and renewed where appropriate. We also have a new church website which is being regularly monitored and maintained.
Apart from the three local managing trustees, we benefit from our three wise and experienced trustees, including our most recently appointed trustee, Sam Wilde. They are able to provide a range of valuable advice and guidance, especially in practical and administrative matters.
Looking to the future, we hope to restart a young people’s work at some point, particularly if we can gain extra help and support in organising and supervising. It is hoped that we shall be able to have regular men’s breakfasts as we seek to foster good contacts within our community. We also pray that God will provide new church members who will have gifts of leadership, preaching and teaching, and especially those with younger families.
