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. We were blessed wf(h glorious weather and
enjoyed a beautiful walk at Rhossili. We are planning
to repeat the experience later this year.
Thank you
