* surrounding neighbourhood. l¢kn S.,
2. Charitable purposes that in the opinion of the charity trustees put into practicethe

social welfare and recreation.
3. Assistance and support given to missionaries that have a dirert connection with the

Summary of artlvltles.
During this period where people are experiencln8 hardshlp from a 'cost of Ilving crisis, the
church held some actlvities specifically aimlng to give relief to resldents. The church bulldin8
and members have been involved In runnlng Foodbank on Mondays.
Every Sunday a sermon was preached at the church and over the internet by the Pastor or
lay-preachers. Before the sermon the church elders or their delegates would give us a news
update of village and church life and announce blrthdays of people who wete present at
the church servlce. The sermons were sensitlve, encouraglng and uplifting giving hope
through the difficult clrcumstances of the 'cost of livlng crisis,. The sermon would be
followed by a few songs of worshlp that were led by the worship leader or his delegates.
Church members and many people from the community either attended the church or
logged on to Ilsten to the services and often emailed encouraging messages. Recently the

Member of Parliament for the district with her secretary attended the church upon the
invitation of a church member and commented how much she enjoyed the service.
The church activities have been well supported. Church members have attended the church
in good numbers, children, youth and adult community activities continued. Fifteen to
twenty children/young people have regularly attended each of the mid-week youth
activities. One of the youth groups was so well attended that it was split into two groups.
On Wednesdays a bible talk/discussion was delivered to three groups, either at the church
or at a church member's home. All were encouraged to participate in the discussion.
During the summer holidays for one week 'Holiday Bible Club, took place for children of
primary school age. Craft for the children was purchased and prepared. The children
listened to biblical stories with ethical teaching, completed craft, played games, and joined
in with the songs that were sung with actions. It was a privilege to see children with happy
smiling faces obviously having lots of fun, with grateful parents or guardians looking on.
Holiday bible club was well received by the community. Two new leaders helped in the
running of the holiday club telling the bible stories and leading the songs.
The church has been led by the Pastor, assisted by his wife, two elders, and three additional
trustees. A large number of church members were involved in supporting the running of the
church with a huge diversity of tasks being completed, giving opportunity for many
members to enhance the skills and gifts that they have in serving the community.
Three of the local primary schools sent their children to the church to attend events run by a
local church worker. One of the primary schools sent all their children, class by class, to the
church to attend an assembly run by church members at the request of the school. The
school have asked if the children can attend next year because the children and teachers
thoroughly enjoyed themselves. During the year this work has developed. School assemblies
and religious education lessons have been taken by two church members every term in four
schools to help the schools meet their curriculum objectives.
The youth leaders regularly supported teenagers by running the youth group. The young
people enjoyed their participation in games, bible-based talks, and outside activities. The
youngsters were taken to Quasar, bowling and had a really good time. Friendships within
the group were made.
The children of the community benefited from the teaching that they received from Sunday
School and attending their social group during the week. Leaders worked to produce a
programme of fun activities, craft, games, and teaching that the children liked.
The community has been helped by the coffee morning and lad¢s bible study groups. A new
group was started by the Pastor to explain the bible to interested new enquirers. Other
social groups were started so that church members could meet together and invite their
friends. Lonely people have enjoyed the social interaction; all groups were a good place to
make new friends and chat.

The Pastor supported by other church members has visited people in the community who
were ill, lonely or needed help.
Parts of the church building have been redecorated" it has been maintained to a high
standard of repair by local tradesmen or church members.
The church has given assistance to missionaries connected to the church with regular
updates of their needs and news to church members.
Many acts of kindness have been completed by church members to people within the
community. Two examples were errands completed and shopping.
Details of how the church charity money was used and current reserves are given in the
financial report. We are thankful for the hard work of the Pastor, his wife and many church
members. All diligently worked behind the scenes to enable the services and many acts of
kindness to have a positive impact within the church neighbourhood. We are grateful too
for industry of the charity treasurer.
Communication.
The church charity used different types of communication to ensure that the charity
members were informed of what was happening in the church. Letters and emails were
written. Social media was used. Telephone calls were made. Feedback from church
members meeting was received.
Conclusion.
The trustees believe that as far as practically possible the church has met its objettives as
set out in its governing document and church handbook. Often imaginative ways were used
to overcome many challenges. New skills and knowledge have been gained throughout the
year as some church members have taken on new roles and responsibilities. We look
forward to church charity life during the next year.
The trustees were encouraged by the support and hard work of many of the church
members. The trustees consider that they have complied with the Charity Commissions
public benefit guidance.
