HAVEN CHURCH TRUST ## Trustees’ Report 2022/2023 We are pleased to report another year of various challenges and encouragements. We have consolidated our regular services, meetings and events, including our morning and afternoon services each Sunday, at which we have seen fresh faces throughout the year. The monthly Knit and Natter, working towards Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child, has had another successful year. Due to the hard work and generosity of church members, local residents and others, we were able to assemble and send 326 shoeboxes to needy children in Eastern Europe at the end of 2022. Timeshare, our local ladies’ Bible study group, has been successfully addressing the needs of several local members. Little Stars, the pre-school children’s group, has enjoyed some new ‘little stars’ throughout the year as they play and make things every Friday. A Men’s Meal is organized at various times throughout the year, usually at a St Austell hostelry. This is followed up with a Men’s Breakfast in our church building on a subsequent Saturday morning. It is encouraging to see the many non-church members who join us on these occasions, during which we have meaningful conversations. We value the contacts that we make with members of our local community. We continue to support our local Foodbank at St Austell. In the autumn, following our Harvest Thanksgiving, we were able to send yet another sizeable donation in addition to the weekly contributions throughout the year. We are satisfied that the use of the church building has been in line with the Trust Constitution and for the benefit of the community. The exterior was completely redecorated during the year and 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 support for two of our members, engaged in church planting on the island of Madeira, continues to grow. Regular contact with them is maintained through emails, plus weekly audio and video communication. The challenges of a cosmopolitan, muti-cultural congregation on the island are met by our members plus two supporting leaders, who are adept at rising to the diverse needs and aspirations. This was complemented by the visit of our own members during the year to meet and share with the congregation at Funchal. 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. All Trust policies have been revisited, reviewed and renewed where appropriate. We also have a new church website which is being regularly monitored and maintained, including regular video adverts and teasers to engage the community. Apart from the three local managing trustees, we benefit from our three experienced trustees who provide a range of valuable advice and guidance, especially in practical and administrative matters. Looking to the future, we still hope to restart a young people’s work at some point, particularly if we can gain extra help and support in organising and supervising. 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 who will support and encourage our own local families. We also hope to be able to reach further into our neighbouring communities of Portmellon and Mevagissey as we share with them the Good News of the Gospel.
