-
(a) to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement in such ways and in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Church Council from time to time may think fit;
-

-
(c) to advance education in such ways and in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Church Council from time to time may think fit.
Achievement and Performance:
The charity continues to provide weekly public meetings for worship. We run a play and stay parent and toddler group on Wednesdays in the hall. We continue to support overseas mission work through our missionary contacts.
The charity gives on an add hock basis to support those in need in our community.
Relief of need: financial and sickness.
Where we became aware that there were members of the church or community we provided cash and vouchers to these families: gifts and parcels were given to members and contacts as we became aware of the need.
Pastoral care and support given to those who were elderly and locked in. Regular contact by phone and in person from time to time where needed.
We keep in contact with the members of the church using email, text message and WhatsApp groups to communicate and pray together. We have had members visiting the elderly and those who are isolating because of medical conditions.
Overseas Missions:
Our support for overseas mission continues through financial support for Corrie Arrowsmith who has relocated to the Philippines. Thought 2022 Corrie has worked with “Teach Beyond” working in a mission school in Tanzania.
Logos Hope Mission Ship
Jan and David Arrowsmith are supported .During 2022 the reporting period they have transferred from LIV Village in South Africa to now work with Logos Hope mission ship.
Several members of the church are involved in working for and supporting mission work in Pakistan.
Community Involvement and service:
Toddler Play Group:
We organised a play group for 2 and 3 year old children. Up to 60 mothers and babies were attending the group and we found this to be a vital part of our connection with the Oakenshaw community. Oakenshaw Community Hall.
Lunch Club:
This year we have undertaken a community outreach program involving taking the form a of lunch club for residents of the area around the community hall. This provides a low cost meal and some time for social contact within the warm environment of the hall. This is attended by some of the elderly and disabled people of the local area and we hope to expand this as we are able.
We rent the community hall from Rubicon Leisure which is a company set up by the Redditch council to run its leisure facilities in the town. We are actively looking for a property to rent on a more permanent basis. We would run more programs for the community if we had access to a kitchen and the hall on a more regular basis.
Financial Review;
Reserves Policy:
While we hold some reserves these are in line with our desire to rent or purchase our own property. The amount we hold in reserve is proportional to expected cost of leasing and maintaining a property when a suitable one becomes available.
