The Church puts on a wide variety of activities for the benefit of the church community and the wider community of Bourne. These have included weekly Sunday morning and regular evening worship and teaching services and weekly Life Groups - designed to connect with, and to encourage, people in their social and spiritual lives. There are weekly Youth and Children's clubs, clubs for carers of the very young and the elderly and those needing counselling support from within the wider community. The Church's youth and children's workers with Church members voluntarily assist in teams regularly providing activities in both junior and secondary schools loca15y as well 85 hosting, with other Church Staff, visits from local schools lo the church building as part of their curriculum requirements.

Section D Achievements and performance Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year This year the church has continued lo recognise the impact of Covid even though Covid is now just something we live with. However. we recognise that some still wish to wear face masks and some still like a bÈt of space around them. Over 2023 we had the successful running of an in-person Alpha course which saw a small number attend and discover truths abovt the Christian faith and some, from their own personal choice making a commrtment to accept Jesus into their lives. Further to last year's Kidz Klub trial we have seen this children's group for infant school children seeing 13 children regularly attend run throughout the entire calendar year. This group is held in a community space on a local housing estate and is run by a team from Bourne Baptist Church. Alongside this weekly group we also held our annual Easter event in the same location offering Easter crafts and the Christian Easter message. From our links and advertising, we attracted about 80 members of this local housing estate. The regular pro9ramme of 'opening the chLtrch doors, for others lo attend weekly has been steadily implemented with the inGrease of activity especially in Ihe period from Sept till Oec. Across the yearwe have mel as a communty with this being done through various Styles we have again held our usual worship service most weeks but we also have developed Café church which is more relaxed and based around tables and food, we also increased our ouldoor service in the park with the pemiission given to meet three limes this year. In terms of our activities which serve Ihe wider commun1ty we have sèen both our Mums and Toddlers and Who let the Dad's Out groups develop. Our toddler group has created new relationships with members of the communty some ofwhom connected from the new work on the housing estate. The work with Who Let the Dad's Out has restarted bul we are looking at bringing in new members to build on those who continue to attend. Alsov the church has been open for a number of evenings for quiet prayer I reflection which has been supported by prompts and other materials lo aid spiritual focus. The church has continued lo offer support to those groups in town operating as part of the wider church and so we have continued to help wrth the Food Bank and Healing Rooms. As a Church we have both begun and ended 2023 by supporting a Wami Hub initiative where communty venues in Boume offer people a warm space to come and spend time in. This again is running lill March 2024, thus allowing the community not to use their own funds to heal their own homes rfthey wished. This year the Pastoral Care team has sought lo offer support lo those individuals who approached the Church for various personal and social needs including transport to medical appointments. shopping, financial support through our Hardship Fund and access to our counselling service. The church has continued to reach out to the local sthools TAR Marth 2012
Section D Achievements and performance through the efforts of our youth worker and senior minister offering assemblies for the schools. The church has also offered support to several local schools by sending gifts to encourage those staff working within them. This work has been developed further by donating Chrislmas hampers lo those working in the care homes based in Bourne. The response from those receiving Ihese gifts has been one of gratitude and appreciation. In regard to the work in the wider community we have worked alongside other churches in the town and in this we helped lead in the churches involvement in the marking of the Coronation of King Chades the third. The church's Youth and Children's worker, supported by volunteering church members this year provided activities in our local Primary and Secondary schools. In addition, pupils and studenls came to visit the church building, where church staff and volunteers provided educational input to meet the requests from schools with regard to their curriculum requirements. The youth again went lo Satellites which this year was held al the Bath and Bristol Show Ground the young people who went were 5UPPOrted by 4 adults.. The feedback from the young people was that they had a great lime and really benefrtled from the experience with again a number of them making a personal decision to follow Jesus for themselves. Alongside thi5 venture the church once again hosled a Children's holiday club. It was titled The Kingdom of Flippity flip and we saw 40 children attend the 3 mornings of activity, where we offered singing, games, craft, stories, and lots of fun. Heartrell appreciation goes to those in the team who have done a wonderful work pulling together this event. During the year we had seen the existing Youth and children5 worker leave and the church decided to appoint two positions one full lime to cover the youth work and then another part time position to cover the children and families work. As with most years we have needed to ask for support from the wider church as the groups are only viable when we have the help to do so. The commitment of Church members has been fantastic and has provided a great part of the voluntary service that keeps the spiritual and social I community work of the Church flourishing. The members and wider congregation of the church have provided sufficient income for the continued employment of 2 full-time and 3 part-lime positions as well as covering all other church expenses. On a practical note, the church has had works carried out to the flooring in part of our rear hall and a number of the church congregation under the guidance of our trusteeldeacon responsible for fabric painted a large number of the windows on the lower level of our church and read hall. Thus. seeking to keep the condition of the windows good. Reflecting from last yearfs work we continue to benefit from those smaller rooms that we refurbished in 2022. Due lo the dedication of church members, we have seen 'The Bridgè, continue over this past year. A work that seeks to offer our local community a positive welcome and the friendly face of the church. We have seen a number stop helping to man this and though we have recruited some more people we are still short of some men from the church stepping in to help support. Vve hope in 2024 we will see more men involved. TAR Mafch 2012
Section D Achievements and performance In terms of membership, we have seen a number of those who were on role resign bul we also have seen some people request membership, so our voting membership remains Steady and in the region of seventy-five. Reflecting over the year we also have seen new people attned our church and many ofwhich have become regular attendees of the church. With a number getting involved in supporting wider ministries offered by the church. Regarding the leadership of the church. we have seen Colin Pratt elected into the role of Secretary and Chris Moss move roles and be elected as our new Treasurer and both of who are Trustees, alongside this appointment Jackie Wardell stood down from being treasurer and the church showed ils appreciation for what she had done over her lime as Treasurer, we also saw Andrew Norfolk sland down from our being a Iruslee and deacon. We have had two leadership days, both being in person and have been very good and well received by all who have attended. The second of which enabled the Iruslees and wider leadership to talk over the development of the church sile. As a community offailh, we pray for God's comfort over all who have been impacted by this pandemic, yet we continue to hold onto the Hope offered through Christ and we look to 2024 and all that is before us.
