## Horsecastle Evan elical Church - Trustees re ort 2024 g p 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 concluded our series in the Epistle to the Romans as our sermon series at the beginning of the year. From March we began a sermon series in the Book of Isaiah. During the Summer we took a break with a series on the Psalms, resuming our studies in Isaiah in September. Before the Easter Celebration we delivered invitation to houses surrounding the church building. On Sundays 29[th] September and 24[th] November we baptised a total 4 people and welcomed them into membership. We also had 3 people join as members 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 Sunday1st 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 money was sent to the Family centre on the Bournville Estate, W-S-M and any food donation went to the Yatton Food Bank. 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. ## 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. We continue to be a collection point for donations to the Yatton Food bank. 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 April 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, YACWAG and the Strawberry Line Steam evening.
