From the Chair of the Trustees
Dearfriends
It is such a comfortth8twe can be reporting on another year of growth followingthe years of
disruption brought by Covid. Lastyear's report was confident and encouraging and18m
pleased thatwe have continued to growduringthe yearto March 2024. 1 b81ieve that growth
has occurred notjust numerically but spirituallytoo; we have been scripturallyfed by our
P8Stors and are growing in ourfaith.
Attendance atTFW Church has increased markedly8nd that is reflected in the financial
standing of the church. The trustees budgeted for an increase in givingwhich has been
exceeded in reality, allowing the trustees to S8nction expenditure in the coming financial year
on UPVC windowsto replace allthe wooden ones, and to invest in addition81 chairs.
It is the financial support of the members which sustains this church, and thetrustees are
grateful foryourf81thfulness. Thankyou ifyou have been able to covenant and GiftAid your
donations: covenanting enablesthe leadership to plan effectivelyforthe future in terms of
spiritual development, outreach and the maintenance ofthe fabric. and Gift Aid provides a
significant amount of extra income yearon yearwhich is used as part of the church's (people
and building) ongoing development.
I referred lastyear to the rising costs of energy, and we are nowfacing up tothe full
commercial cost of gas and electricity, having been protected for a longtime by ourfixed price
agreements. Significant increases have been budgeted, butwe live byfaith and know how
good God has been in blessing us as 8 church and trust Him thatthis will continue, as we
respond to the prompting of his Spirit as we develop the Kingdom in this pl8ce.
but we live by faith
andknowhowgood Godhas been
in blessing us as a church
The leadership is hugely gratefulforthe armyof volunteerswho give uptheirtime to carry out
the various activities which keep the church goingweek byweek. We have been blessed
again by many new members this year and manyof them have 81ready been keen to be
involved in the life ofthe church in so many differentW8ys. Thankyou alll
One of ourtrustees, Fraser Penny, stepped down from this role in February. We 8re very
grateful for his significant contribution, which will be greatly missed, and wish him every
blessingforthe future. We are lookingforward to announcing new appointments duringthe
next financial year.
Once ag8in, we lookforward to an excitingfuture as we grow spiritually and broaden the work
which God has prep8red for us to do.
Every blessing

Sunday seNices are livestreamed, primarilyforthose who cannot attend in person. We would
always encourage in-person 8ttendancewhere possible, as there is something special th8t
happens'in the room.'We never know howGod might use us to encourage someone else
when we gather in-person.
However, we continueto see the v81ue of livestreaming our services. Many new people have
found our church online before attending in person. It also provides a v81uable link to those

of our Connect Groups. Our community has expanded to
include 166 mambers across thevarious Connect Groups,
e8ch fostering fellowship and spiritual growth.
Our 16 groups, includingthose dedicated to bible studies
and prayer, aro united bythree core values:
CARE: Providing mutual care and support.

We 8re committed to ensuringthat every church memberfinds their place in a Connect
Group. where they can grow, find SLtpport, and share life's journeywith others. While we
celebrate our current successes, we recognize the ongoing need to motivate partlClP8tion,
cultivate new leaders, and launch additionaigroups.

through caring
There is a huge 8mount of pastoralcare that goes on TFW Church, both visibly and behind the
scenes. Pastoral care is undertaken by all of us- notjustthe Pastors, Connect Group Leaders
and MinistryTeam Leaders, but by everychurch member. We are 811 called to showthat we
are Jesus. disciples by loving others and this isvery evident atTFW Church.
We are all called to show that we are
Jesus, disciples by loving others
This lastye8r, the pastoral care 8tTFW Church camevery much to the fore followingthe sad
passing of three members of our church family. We also supported anotherfamilywho had
tragically lost 8 young son. The whole church hasjoined together in providing ongoing
practical support, prayers and loving care as well as supportingthe families at the funeral
services.
Connect Group leaders are available for those in ConnectGroups, Team Leadersforthose
who havejoined a team, and the Elders and Pastors are all available whenever needed.
We also have a dedicated VisitingTeam who lookto provide practlC81 help to complement the
care provided by Connect Groups and MinistryTeams
Ouraim is thatno-one in ourchurch family
falls through the "care net"
Ouraim is that no-one in our church familyfalls through the'care net" It may be thatthey are
not in a Connect Group or in 8 MinistryTeam, or may need more help than their Connect
Group orTeam can provide- or perhaps are simply struggiingto attend church because of 8ge
or inf irmity. Aside from actually visiting people, the Visiting Team can plug gaps in situations
such as bereavement, post-hospit8ltreatment & tr8nsport for appointments.
Lyn Smith looks after the sending of flowerslfruit on beh81f ofthewholeTFW Church familyto
people goingthrough e.g. bereavement, health difficulties, recuperation after 8 hospital stay
or a generallytough time. We also celebrate the arriv81 of new babies and other special
OCC8sions.
Sylvia Mitchell has co-ordinated the VisitingTeam activities and we offer her our hugethanks,
particularly as she is stepping down from this leadership role.
