thÈs was the amount we were holding for that purpose. However we have since been
iold that this should hav¢ Eeen classed a5 part of the Chur¢h accounts and as we are
still holding this amount of tnoncy our hank balao¢c tw been 15stLd this yLar as the
full amount we have in the bank which rneans that we need¢d to do an adjustment of
£887 on page 2 lÈne C4 and also page 3 line EIO as our balance forward from last year

Annual Rapvxt
This last year wè have- in our worship, in drfferent groups and in vanous conver5akn'ons-
been deepening our awar¢ne5s of it Is to live the values of Indu5ivty 8nd hospitality.
Much discussion has gono on duirryJ th8 year about how we mwjht make the rn051 of our
building in term5 of dovelopiw an easity ac£essible. hosplt8tAe place for the cornmunity in
which we 58fve. The Wel￿)me Space project has fl08ted rn8ny id88s. has prepa￿d
dotyJtn8nts for s88ktF>g funding from various bDdies and h85 di5CL15sed the VIS￿ at orcuit
and at conn8xion81 level. After deep and thorough discussion Il was thought that wilh # wsit
from connexional advisers we could maxirni5e Ihe potential of our building to meet Qxbr
missi¢)n in the Town. A vislt ha5 bBen planned for Jafwary 8th and in the meantirnè th8
work on devek)ping our rnission and outreach (x)ntinues.
In terms of tyjr indLt5ivity awaTen88s we continue to deepen (￿r und8r8t8rKIiT¥J on a number
of levels. It is our 8irn to be the most in¢luslve that We can b8 85 8 churth and to be Ik%ted on
the indu8Mty rggister. We have Invltod Sirnon Culley who is part of the indusive ehurch
initi81ive lo run a W0￿shOp for us on Novetnber 23rd from 1.45 to 4.15. This Is an inits'al
workshop that we rn￿h1 dlscem the work w8 hav8 yetto do and to 8xt4ore a strategy for
ach￿￿￿9 our stated aim.
or course irfclysivty Is very much a key theme for the Methtyjist chu¥ch thi5 year as w8
expl￿ the marrtage arTrd relationships report. Thls Is a broad report looksng at all a$pe¢t$ of
rnarrkgge anrj relationships. E8rfy Fwt year will be holding a workshop for church
membws in Iho North8m 8nd of the Ur￿11 ID which we wll b8 aL48 to discu$$ the report in
more depth. In Ihe m8arntime I have or¢ered enough copies of the ￿pOrt for our Church
rnembers to each have one though these ar8 peFhaps best dislributed to coinude with th￿8
works1￿pS so that questions Can be raised 8r¥J r8sox)nd8d to in a timely way. We are not
being 8sk8d to vote on th& report thi5 Comi￿j year as it ￿$ not a decision th8t will affect th8
Deed of Unk)n. however. il the r8POrt 15 accepted at confererte then we will be 8sk8d at
Churth CwrKil to vote on whetherwe would want to be authorfsed to conduct sam8 sex
marriage.
We have. thi$18St year, athi8ved our &lver award as an Eco Church and we are rJJrrenUy
wothing towards our Gold. We have a new gfOUP which m88ts monthly on a Saturday
moming whiol is exploriNJ all aspects of Eco churth from a practical to a spirittsal
per5￿Ctive. We have various proj.ects in rn1[￿ for thi5 coming year from a liwng wall to
green weekend. We a￿ seèking to invite ouisth sp8akers to help us iJa&wn our 8W8renè8S
and und8rslanding of these vEry oJTh8nt and re18vant themes.
Our art exhibftions continue to drdw great ITrte￿t and much fooif811 in our ¢hurch. This year
we have an exhibition by th8 sculptor and rirc¥it Ictal preacher Debbie H8rrision. Debble
and I met a few w88ks 8go to see how we might inte9rat8 the 8xhibitKJn with our worship
and preachillg th8m6s. Tht3 is stsll under develowRent do w8t¢h ou¢ lor MO￿ +nlorrnatK)n

Breakfast Praise continues to do very wdl, albeit an often chaots"c tsme rt is neverthdess
enjoyed by all those who attend as a fre8 forrn of worship over breaklast. 11 especkqlly caters
lor young fatnilies OT for those who benefit from an infomial approach to w(xship. We enjoy
the many young pooplè att8nd and are gralefvjl to all who come along to support Ihis
ventu￿.
We have ￿￿¢8m8 about th8 numbers w￿) attend the evening 8ervice...S0rn8time8
this has only amounted to the organist and the steward and som8t*mes just on8 member of
the congreg8bon. This is of ¢ourse not ideal when PTe8ch8rs have tr&v8lled a oood distance
acr085 Ihe ￿Tr￿lIL After much Ihought and discussion we are intending to seek CC approval
that this 88NC8 becomes a less fomMI arrdngement Ihat do8s not reqvirg ¢ircuit Input.
Our property is in good shape after the completvjn of th8 work to th8 gable ends and the
replacem8nt of the boilers. The cottag8 eonts'nu8s to b8 p￿￿ernat￿ for the family from the
int of view of Condensation. we underst8nd that drfferent acwmmodatson is being 50ughL
Th8 finanryal rep(ffl Is added to this d￿Ufflent along with the accounts.
