accounts.						A midweek evening meeting is held to
						which anyone is welcome and also a

			The meeting is open to all.
			The church holds a fortnightly table tennis
			group which is open to anyone from within
			or outside the church fellowship.
			This brings together and encourages
			members, ex members, congregation and
			non-church goers under the church roof.
			Meetings are held in a relaxed environment
			where church, table tennis and the secular
			world get discussed, not forgetting playing
			table tennis, conversation and
			refreshments.
			The Minehead Macular Society support
			group brings information and support to those with macular disease, their family
			and friends.
			Each meeting provides a welcoming and
			compassionate environment to learn about
			the support available, build confidence and
			better understand macular disease.
			It is also a chance to make new friends who
			really understand what sight loss is like.
			This society was formed in September 2019recognising that there was a real
			need for support in Minehead.
			Currently there are 50members listed, 10
			ofthese are from Millbridge Church.
			Leaders from the church visit local
			residential homes to take services as
			requested.
			Although curtailed whilst complying with Government advice, engagement with local
			residential/care homes continues.
			Although numbers were restricted, we were
			still able to host Christmas day lunch for the
			isolated or homeless over the Christmas
			penod.
			The Church also seeks to fulfil its charitable
			objectives by supporting a number of
			overseas missionaries working in various
			countries.
			In times ofdisaster the Church also
			facilitates the collection and sending of funds to various parts ofthe world where
			the Church has contacts for emergency relief.
