Minister’s Report - MEC 2021
2020 and 2021 has been a very unusual and very challenging time for us as a congregation. The various restrictions that have been in place have meant that we, along with all other churches in the UK, have had to think creatively and strategically in how we have conducted services and tried to keep people connected.
Since our last AGM in October, which had to be pushed back due to the pandemic, the following has taken place:
Godward –
- Sunday Evening Prayer continues online at 6pm as well as some weekday prayer.
Inward –
-
Children’s and family e-packs have continued during lockdown.
-
New members: Sarah W, Colin and Katie C.
-
Small groups have continued online and meeting on Sunday after the service with Small Group questions to work through, and feedback is that this has been very beneficial and engaging.
Outward (community) -
-
Sarah Wilks ran with her idea of creating and placing Christmas theme decorations on MEC windows for people in the community to see. Various people from the congregation assisted with making of decorations. Many thanks Sarah!
-
The Care Team continued to support people needing help, both within MEC and the wider community. A big thank you to the care team for all your input!
-
We have continued to pre-record our services and upload them on the website, and there has been a really positive response. In the last calendar year, we have had 10320 unique visitors to the website. The past month has seen over 1500 visits.
-
The last couple of weeks saw us move back to live services, and consequently, the online service has been live-streamed. A big thank you to Matt, Sean and all those involved in making this possible. I also want to say a big thank you to Chris and Sue in particular for organising the worship rota these last few months.
-
Alpha online was run by Lynne Robinson – and the Lord ministered through her in a very special way. Lynne will also be spearheading some outreach initiatives from September this year, so watch this space for details!
-
Steve Atkins has been hard at work keeping the grounds looking fabulous. The RHS will be assessing and judging MEC’s garden (date to be confirmed)
Leadership -
-
New Deacon - Colin Cameron.
-
GCG continuing another term as Deacon.
-
Dave N has stepped down from being a Deacon – and we want to thank him for all his hard work and service. He continues to be involved with the sound.
Strategic Planning –
-
Small Group Ministry Coordinator – role was taken up by Tristan M
-
Prayer Ministry Coordinator – Pauline Jacob
-
We are in the process of filling other roles and will update you in due course.
On a personal note, it has been quite a tough year, but I am grateful to the Lord for holding me during this time and want to say a big thank you to all of you for your love, prayers and support. It has been greatly appreciated!
A very big thank you to everyone who has contributed this last year. Special thanks to the elders for your dedication and devotion and for serving so faithfully and selflessly in very unprecedented and difficult circumstances.
Last but not least, a big thank you to each and every one of you who make MEC so special. Without you, our church would not be the church that it is! So let’s continue to shine and grow together to His glory in the weeks and months ahead.
