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

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.

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.
