This year it was agreed to affiliate to The Assemblies Of God a Pentecostal movement, this would allow the church resources and guidance to move the church forward.
It was also agreed that the church would benefit from having an additional volunteer pastor to work alongside the present pastor, to take care of the pastoral needs, much work has been carried out to explore this idea, and we hope to have someone in place 2023/24. Calon do have a long-term vision employing a pastor, however, in this economic market it is not an affordable option.
The church enjoys good attendance at the Sunday morning services, and have welcomed many new members.
The church continues to host a number of groups for bible study both on and off line.
We still continue run the ‘buddy’ scheme keeping in touch with people, taking turns to call them to check on their welfare and give and get help if needed.
A number of community events have been held throughout the year, celebrating the Queens platinum jubilee, Firework Night, St David’s day to name just a few.
The trust was fortunate to obtain a grant which allowed them to open the church, and host a warm safe space for the community to use. Allowing volunteers to serve warm food and supported people that felt isolated an opportunity to socialise.
We have allowed other service groups the use of the church to provide opportunities to our local community, we have changed a small fee which helped towards the utility costs.
In conclusion, we have had a successful year, and have identified a new direction to take Calon Church Trust forward.
