Chew &YeoValley Baptist Network Dis(¥Jles of Jesus sharing God s transforniing love Annual Report 2022/23 The past year has been a time to rebuild following the disruption of the pandemic and to prayerfully discern the shape of what we believe God is leading us into. This is not an easy or quick process as we ask some searching questions about the future of the CYBN Network. The impact of the pandemic is still not fully known, but it is clear that in terms of human resources and finances, some difficult decisions will need to be made. Loss of income from rentsl of our building5 during the pandemic and a reduction in general giving led to us having to reduce the hours worked by our pastor. Whilst there has been some improvement in the finan￿5 over the past 12 months. John remains on reduced hours. We are really blessed to have Margaret Blakey as our Associate Pastor. Margaret is gaining valuable experience as a 'Newly Accredited" Baptist Minister. Sundays Winford evening services weekly at 6.15pm and a number of CYBN members take turns in leading worship with a "sprinkling" of external speakers as well as times of "Open fellowship" when everyone brings something to share. At Chew Magna our Sunday moming gatherings continue with a number of families joining us regularly for worship. We are continuing

to experiment with "all-age- worship with activities related to the service theme for children. We were delighted to dedicate babysamantha who was brought by Flip and Phil Harris in October. Sadly, plans to resume monthly breakfast meetings in Blagdon have not materialised. Schoo15 Open the Book continues to be a regular feature at Winford. Chew Magna and Dundry Primary Schools. At Christmas we gave a gift of the Bible Society booklet to over 1(K)O primary school children across the Chew and Yeo Valleys. As in previous years we also gave "It's Your Move books" for Year 6 leavers as they move up to their Secondary schools. We provided books to approximately 200 children across 10 primary schools in our area. At Chew Magna we have once again welcomed Year 7 students from Chew Valley School who visit local churches as part of their annual enrichment week. Renew Wellbeing in the Chew and Yeo Baptist Network Our original group continues to meet at the Link in Bishop Sutton where we have developed a small community of regulars who join us most weeks. We enjoy good conversation. play game5. and one or two like to work through a puzzle book. We have been ableto develop a pastoral relationship with a couple of our regulars outside of the Renew space and have buiFt some links With our Sunday congregation at Chew Magna for one of our regulars. There are others who pop in occasionally but we would love to see a few more become regular and so are developing partnerships with the local village agent to support this. We were also able to host Valley Arts who led a printing workshop which was very well received. There is a prayer space available to all. where there is led prayer in the

middle of our session. with is offered as an option to those who would like to participate. We are encouraged that most of our regulars are happy to join us. We have had encouraging feedback from our regulars. who assure us that this is a valuable ministy that is having an irnpact. At the beginning of 2023 we opened a second Renew space, open once a month, at the Baptist Chapel in Winford. This already has a regular group of attenders including some who are not part of the regular Sunday congregation in Winford. Supportin9 others Over the past year we have continued to support various causes and people. At Christmas and Harvest we were able to send donations of clothes. food and money to the Sisters of the Church in St Pauls. 8ristol in support of their work with the homeless. Partnerships One of our core values is partnering with others both within and beyond the church. One way we do this is by allowing others in our communities to use our buildings. We have established valuable partnerships with the village Pre- school and the Chew Valley Community Library in Bishop Sutton. Chew Magna, our premises are being now being used by local community choirs, an art group. exercise classes. a monthly 'Memory' café and 2 new youth drama groups. We also host the weekly "hub- for Ukrainian families in the area. This enables both 'hosts' and guest families the opportunity to meet and share a meal. At Christmas we hosted the Ukrainian Christrnas meal and -variety show" We also were the venue for the "Chew Chat" Christmas meal and Variety Show. This spring we held a joint Lent Course with our friends at St Andrews Anglican Church. We have also heldjoint Me55y Church events at Christmas and Easter

Time away together In September 33 of us spent a delightful weekend at at Port Eynon on the Gower Peninsular in South Wales.
