Summary of the main achievements ofthe Charity during the year DVCC- Char. Commissioner5 re ort 2023 2024 Church life has continued well for DVCC. Our regular Sunday services and monthly café services have been maintained with good attendance and new folk joining the fellowship. We continue a model of "Hybrid Church" using Zoom as well, allowing those from home to join, be seen and participate. The "Open Mic" continues to be popular with a lot of participation. Prayer walking takes place in Eynsford on Tuesday afternoon, West Kingsdown on Wednesday afternoons and Horton Kirby/ South Darenth on Thursday morning. Many new people are being met and helped along life's way. For the fourth year running, and due to popular demand, we moved our services into the open air during July and August taking advantage of the beautiful setting of Eynsford Castle. Our theme was The beatitudes" based on Matthew Ch 5. Again we wanted this to be truly community based so invited and were joined by many local organisations. Our warm space and community hub 'The Space" continued throughout the year . Taking place on Wednesday mornings from 9.00am to l.00pm in the Riverside Club. A light breakfast is provided. Tea. coffee and cakes served throughout the morning with soup and roll (winter) or ploughman's lunch (summer) from 12.00 noon. Various activities are provided: Jigsaws, snooker, darts etc and some folk just like to sit and chat . There is a dedicated area for young children and parents. IT Support is available with the provision of 2 computers with internet access. To date we have an average attendance of over 70 people per week. Several grants have been gratefully received from the local council to support the activity. Another good year for DVCC where we have experienced growth in numbers, attivity and personal character. We look forward to continuing to ser4e our community by practically showing the love of God in the year ahead. TAR March 2012
