Horsecastle Evangelical Church - Trustees report 2022 Horsecastle Evangelical Church was registered as a CIO in June 2018. With regards to the charity commissions guidance on the public benefit the charity this year has carried out the following activities that further the Charity's objectives. ## **Gatherings of the Church** On Sunday Mornings we continued to work through the Gospel of Matthew as our sermon series at the beginning of the year. In May we began a new sermon series on the book of Romans. In February we restarted our monthly bring and share tea on the 3rd Sunday of the month which had ceased due to COVID. Before the Easter Celebration we delivered invitation to houses surrounding the church building. On Saturday 16th June the church ran a stand at the Village Diamond Jubilee event at the local park. There was a craft for children and literature for people to take away. Sunday 18th September the church spent the day together, with the normal Sunday gathering in the morning followed by a picnic and games at the local park. The church had a Week of Prayer at the beginning of September. We met for prayer every day, at various times, to pray together. On Sunday 2nd October we had our Harvest thanksgiving. We began with crafts, toys, cakes, and refreshments which was followed by an “All age service”. Any donation of food or money was sent to the Family centre on the Bournville Estate, W-S-M. Sunday 31st October we held and alternative Halloween party for Children who attended children’s time. During the Christmas season we held a Christmas meal for the attendees of the coffee morning, several carol services, carols at the local residential home, and a Christmas day celebration. During the year we had visits from representatives from International Mission to Jewish People and Morning Star Children’s Centre. ## **Other ministries** The Church continues to support other ministries through prayer, financial support, and practical help. The church gave more than 10% of the church’s income to other ministries based both in the UK and abroad.

The church joined the Barnabus Fund Ukraine appeal, the building acting as a Hub for collection. Along with people from other local churches, a couple of church member’s ran a couple of CAP money courses. One of the courses ran in the church building. A bible study began in the beginning of the year on Sunday afternoons for children of secondary school age. Regular ministries such as toddlers, Dads and Toddlers, Friday club and Coffee mornings continued. In June there was a camp at Barton Camp, near Winscombe, for the children of Friday Club. ## **Community use of the building** During the year the building was used by various local groups including the WI, PACT, Home Start, and the Strawberry Line Steam evening. ## **Church Business** On 22nd June the AGM was held and on 16th November a members meeting was held. ## **Safeguarding** During the year we changed our safeguarding support to Christian Safeguarding Services (CSS). Training and DBS’s are all up to date. During the year one safeguarding concern was raised. Advice was sought from CSS and no further action was required. ## **Policies** Policies were reviewed as required and some minor changes were made.
