## **Elworth Methodist Church Annual report 2021 - 2022** This year gave us the opportunity to renew the work we were doing before and during the pandemic. Groups were able to open up again and we have been able to offer warm spaces to people struggling with their energy bills. The new coffee lounge has begun to build on new and good relationships with the local community and also been a place where visitors to the local park and railway station have been able to call in for refreshments and a chat. A new supported living house is to be opened across from the lounge and we have met with the new owners and manager who feel that our premises will be a welcoming place for the residents. We also continue to have good relationships with members at the approved hostel next door to the church. We are working together with the local park committee on joint ventures throughout the year . In December we were able to offer a craft morning to make lanterns ready for a carol service in the park that evening and then welcomed people across to the church for coffee & mine pies. We have continued to join together with the local council to provide a service of Remembrance at the local war memorial in November and we have been able to continue with our support for the British legion and Help for heroes. We have supported Sandbach Food bank and a local pantry. Along with everyone else our greatest challenge over the year has been a vast increase in our utility bills but despite this we continue to make all our events , which are open to everyone, to be payment by donation. There is never a set charge for anything. As yet we are a unable to accept card payments in the coffee lounge but this does not stop us from offering a free coffee /cake to people who are unaware of the situation. In fact it has often given us an opening to share our church work and ideals. All members and friends continue to receive a weekly newsletter which has been really appreciated. We gather each Sunday morning for worship with a variety of styles of service and all are welcome. Jean Ellershaw ELWORTH METHODIST CHURCH, ACCOUNTS FOR 2021 / 22 |**GENERAL FUND**
