Structure Governance and Management

Lymm Methodist Church is part of the Sankey Valley Circuit. It is governed by the Deed of Union 1932 and by the Methodist Church Standing Orders. The church is cared for by a Presbyter (ordained minister).

The decision making body for the Charity (who are its trustees and listed above) is the Church Council that meets 3 times per year.

The Annual General Church meeting, that is open to all members of the Church, raises issues for consideration by the Church Council.

Position in the Community

Lymm Methodist Church is located in the centre of Lymm, a town of approx.15k people. It is situated on a main arterial road through the village on a small plot of land surrounded by mature trees with marked out parking spaces for two vehicles. There is a public car park within easy walking distance.

The buildings date back to 1850 but are proving difficult to maintain due to their age. There is a traditional worship space plus a community building with 2 halls, a kitchen, coffee room, and a general purpose room.

Our Mission

Maintaining a strong worshiping community

In and Out of Lockdown

By the start of the new Methodist year in September 2020 we had in place a COVID Team to ensure that any activity held on our premises was compliant with the government’s and the Methodist Church’s COVD safety

guidance. Two COVID bubbles were formed, one based on the ground floor main hall, one on the church. Initially worship was in the main hall where it was easier to control a two metre social distancing. In September 2020 the government guidance on social distancing reduced to one metre.

To the delight of our members, worship was moved to church. Those who preferred not to risk meeting

We believe there are three elements to achieving our stated Mission.

indoors, ‘Worship at Home’ and ‘Live your Faith’ self study documents were distributed via email and by hand. Links to internet worship programmes were also circulated. A radio link was introduced but after 6 weeks it was stopped as no one was using it.

Between November 2020 and April 2021 there were two waves of increased infections when the premises had to be closed.

How we structure our activities towards achieving our Mission can be summarised as follows;

On these occasions we reverted back to using ZOOM. Fortunately the church was open for the Advent/Christmas and Easter periods. Through this difficult 12 months there were only 9 members who didn’t join in any form of worship.

For the majority of the 2020/21 year only a couple of community groups plus Life Church, returned to meeting on the premises.

Adults

Life Time Path to Discipleship

Unfortunately, all on-site adult activities were suspended for all of the 2020/21year.

Children

For the majority of the year, our children and young people groups were unable to meet face-to-face. This also applied to the Brownies and Scout Group. Linda Murdoch –Children and Families Worker — kept in touch by holding regular Zoom meetings and distributed Christian literature throughout the year. During the period when mixing was allowed, the chatnchill group held a socially distanced party.

The three Fellowship Groups continued via ZOOM along with the Going Deeper group initiated in 2019.

At Easter members and friends received an activity pack that included worship material, a Easter Cross, plus a small gift and chocolates.

Showing God’s Love

Like many Churches our members try to support people/groups in a variety of ways. This can be as an individual or collectively through the church. Despite the pandemic restrictions we were able to continue to support those who were finding life difficult.

Our ‘Loving Hearts and Hands’ group, working from home, produced blankets and jumpers for Syrian refugees via Care UK.

The Open the Book team also kept in touch with the five Primary Schools. The Schools received cards to let them know we were still thinking of them, plus a copy of the Lion

At Christmas we were still

able to provide financial support to Warrington Homeless along with gifts of warm

Storyteller Bible . Videos were made and distributed. In June when COVID restrictions were relaxed the team was able to visit the schools There was a very special moment at the end when a teacher brought a young lad over to say;

clothing. We collected money to purchase toys for children via a sister church in Widnes and Christmas Hamper vouchers for families in Lymm experiencing financial difficulties.

"Thank You - that was the best assembly ever!"

This was in addition to the year round JMA collection.

Unable to have the school children visit the Eagle Brow premises videos were made covering the key characters from the Nativity in 2020 and the Easter Cross in 2021.

Redevelopment

The planned development had to be put on hold due to the uncertaint future. This included fund raising activities. One project partly fund by a Circuit grant was the introduction of recording and Live Streaming of worship. In June the first recording was made and in late July live streaming was introduced. This needs further development to make it more reliable.

Total income was 94.7k

An increase of £15.7k over the previous year. Due to lengthy period when we were not able to meet, income from envelopes and loose cash/cheques was down by £3k. This was more than compensated for by a £7.5k increase in standing orders, partly due to those who previously gave cash donations moving to a standing order and a positive response to a general request asking for the church fellowship to increase their giving.

The increase in Funds for Church family was due to individual donations to the Development Fund in memory of a loved one.

Under General Income - Others, £7.5k is a the grant from the Circuit towards the recording and live streaming facility.

Total expenditure was 81.6k

An increase of £8.0k. over the previous year.

Circuit Assessment accounts for the biggest proportion at £7.1k. The increase of £1.7k in the maintenance can be explained by the additional cost associated with introducing COVID hygiene and safety equipment.

The extra cost for the recording and streaming equipment is offset by an almost equal reduction in the Church Development costs.

Year End Balance is £54.4k

£44k is for the Redevelopment Project, the balance is £6.25k in a legacy donated by the family of R Snaith and £3.0k in a General Reserve Fund.
