## **Review of Activities** 

As well as our Sunday Service the church runs a number of other ministries. These include; Mums and Tots, Prayer meeting, Women’s groups, children’s clubs and a guitar workshop amongst other 



activities. These run throughout the week in order to reach the surrounding neighborhood and to minister to our regular members. 

## **Financial Summary** 

The current cash balance across all funds is £28564.80.  Total income for the year was £97896.44.  Of this total income £73059 was given for the new building project.  Included in this income is a one-off donation from the winding up of another charity, for the sum of £55000 from Titchfield Evangelical Church. 

The pastor’s fund is running in a negative balance as it receives no income.  It is listed separately to show the expenses associated with pastor’s salary and housing.  It is the plan to change this category to be a line item under general fund in the near future.
