## Bodmin  Christian Fellowship Charity  Report 2021 

2021  was  the  beginning of the  transition of Bodmin  Christian Fellowship to  Immanuel Church Bodmin,  by  merger with  Bodmin Community  Church (BCC).  To this  end  we  started having  joint services with  BCC.  The  aim  of the  merger was  to  create a larger, stronger church that  would  be  better positioned to  serve  God  and the  local  community. 

## Income and  donations to  Bodmin  Christian Fellowship 

The  majority  of income was  from  collections and  donations from Church members (£8,644.90).  A private donor also  made a significant donation (£2,187.50).  An interest payment of £1.82  was also  received. 

## Work  within  the  church 

As the  congregation has  grown,  we  have  invested in screens that can  be  used  in the  service,  giving  the  whole  room  a  good  view  of any  visual  media used.  The  worn  carpet was  replaced to  create a more welcoming environment. 

New  signage was  also  purchased, reflecting the  Church's merger and  new  name.  The  aim  of this  being  to  raise  awareness of the  new church within  the  local  community. 

## Support for  other Christian work  and  outreach 

The  church supported Christian ministry  locally,  nationally  and internationally;  through gifts  to  individual  Christian workers and organisations. These donations were used  for  work  in communities in the  UK and  overseas and  included joint  initiatives with  other churches in Bodmin. 

## Work  and  support in the  community 

This  year  saw  our  continued support for  Christians Against  Poverty, both  financially  (£1,220)  and  by  donating office  space for  their workers. 

Use  of our  premises was  donated to  the  local  Foodbank for  two days  per  week,  with  many  residents of Bodmin  and  the  wider community  being  supported by  their  work.
