A summary<br>ofthe framework<br>is the command<br>for<br>people to'lave.'Gad with theic heart, soul, mind snd strength<br>and love<br>one's neighbour ss oneself. These consNtute the two great commands<br>given to ag men by God, and are a summary<br>ofthe whole af God's Iaw.

|Summary ofthe main<br>achievements<br>ofthe charity<br>during the year|||This past year has seen the church resuming<br>in full, all the programme<br>of<br>regular church meetings<br>and activities after the recent Covid restrictions.||
||||Sunday<br>morning<br>and evening services resumed<br>fully, and have continued||
||||throughout<br>the past year, with both services advertised<br>locally and open||
||||to the public; and especially to the local community<br>of Ivybridge.<br>A||
||||significant<br>number of our church members<br>and regular attendees||
||||continue<br>to travel<br>in to our services from as far away as Plymouth,||
||||Tavistock and the Kingsbridge<br>areas||
||||Our Christmas<br>Eve Carols by Candlelight<br>service resumed<br>in its usual||
||||format, offering a "traditional"<br>Carol Service of readings<br>and carols to the||
||||church family and the local community.<br>There was a special service held||
||||a week pdior to Christmas<br>Day aimed at the parents,<br>grandparents<br>and||
||||children associated<br>with our Toddler group. Families attending<br>the group||
||||were also invited to join in our Christmas<br>Shoebox programme<br>run by||
||||Samaritan's<br>Purse, to send gifts to Children<br>in need. Our contributions||
||||this year went to children<br>in Belarus.||
||||Evening services were reviewed<br>and saw a change<br>in format to include|a|
||||special focus on national<br>and international<br>mission,<br>and a light meal||
||||leading<br>into the Lord's Supper service. These are held in the front area|of|
||||the church,<br>and continue to be open to the public.||
||||We run a Sunday school currently<br>and regularly<br>attended<br>by young||
||||children<br>from two ofour church families and by local visitors and holiday||
||||makers<br>children<br>on occasion||
||||We have a mid week prayer and bible study meeting<br>on Thursday||
||||evenings.<br>This alternates<br>between<br>home groups<br>in Ivybrige,<br>Plymouth||
||||and Kingsbridge,<br>and the church<br>building.<br>It is open to anyone<br>attending||
||||our services<br>in the church congregation.<br>We occasionally<br>have visitors|in|
||||attendance<br>who have found us via our church website.||
||||We continue to run s growing toddler group on Tuesday<br>mornings,<br>open||
||||to local mums dads and grandparents<br>with their pre nursery age children.||
||||We offer craft activities, general<br>play, with songs and stories mainly||
||||drawn<br>from our Christian<br>Faith and the Bible. There is opportunity<br>to sit||
||||and chat with each other and with the small team of church members||
||||who run the program.||
||||In January<br>of this year we opened a warm space advertised<br>locally,||
||||inviting<br>people to come in to the church to socialise and keep warm. This||
||||is run on Wednesday<br>mornings<br>with plans to offer this service<br>all year||
||||round.<br>It has been attended<br>by a number offolk outside ofthe church||
||||congregation||
||||This past year we have encouraged<br>our members<br>to attend local||
||||community<br>run groups,<br>and moved one of our newer meetings<br>into the||
||||local Library once a month to foster more community<br>engagement.||
||||The main church meeting space has had some plaster work repaired<br>and||
||||the whole main<br>hall and foyer area have been repainted.<br>We are looking||
||||and planning<br>to find a new minister to further develop the work ofthe||
||||church,<br>with a particular focus on our local Community<br>of Ivybridge.||
||||We trust that the Lord will continue to grant the leaders and trustees of||
||||the church wisdom<br>&discernment<br>in the decisions we take.||
