Summary
ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year		 Subject to Covid-19 precautions
-arrangements
continued
with hybrid face to
face meetings
and transmissions
at Quarry
Park Road, to and from private
homes - using Zoom and WhatsApp
etc. to maintain
regular services and socia
contact for the members —with opportunities
for sharing
the Breaking of Bread
service, Bible Study, and informal
discussions
(for both young and senior
members)
which were concluded
with a Bible reading
and prayer.
We continued
to offer a Bible based series ofSunday School lessons for
children of all ages.
The Charity
held weekly meetings
for worship,
prayer,
and Bible teaching,
mainly
on Sunday
mornings
and Tuesday evenings.
Members ofthe public		 were
invited
by personal
invitation,
external
display noticeboards.
We join with CBM, CCH, and CMaD groups around
the world to share
presentations,
illustrated
updates
and musical praise presentations,
and with
local groups for study and fraternal
gatherings.
Active membership
now stands at 28 (down from last year 31).
With a reduction
in members,
and a general squeeze on incomes - funds
received
by the Ecclesia decreased —but this was paralleled
by reduced
expenditure. (
The physical
and spiritual
welfare of all our members
(boih young
and vulnerable
seniors) continued
to be our prime concern.
The Charity continued
to take regular collections for other charities to support
Bible preaching
in the UK and Missionary
work overseas,
Christadelphian		 Care
Homes for the elderly, and other organisations
offering teaching,
pastoral,		 and
welfare support to the elderly, the young and others
in need.
Donations
were made to various
Christadelphian
and non-Christadelphian
organisations
to help feed and clothe the needy. Some members
donated
provisions
weekly to the local Food Bank - for those experiencing
shortages		 and
hardship.
We monitor pastoral and other needs ofthose associated
with the Charity,		 and
ofnon-Christadelphians
(who are introduced
to us or seek our help) and we
provide reasonable
support where possible. We had the opportunity
to engage(
with a small group ofasylum seekers (based
in Newquay
by the Home Office
until 06/04/2023). 11or 12ofthese young
men joined with us at our Sunday		 l
Services; and met (with a translator)
for daytime
study classes each Tuesday
and Thursday —learning
English
whilst studying
Bible principles.
The foregoing
meetings,
activities and initiatives
were arranged
by the Charity		 to
meet its interrelated
objectives and to benefit both members
ofthe Charity		 and
those members ofthe public who we were pleased to welcome and serve.
