lo promote Christian worship and to meet the wider needs of our local communty.
The principal objects of the Chartty are to advance the Christian faith within Nelherton, Dudley and
the surrounding neighbourhood for the benefit of the publlc. mainly bul not exclusively, through the
holding of prayer meetings, celebration of religious festivals, religious education. enlightening others
about the Christian faith and lo provide outreach and pastoral care for the comfflunity.
The main activities have been Church meetings ranging from Sunday moming worship, work amongst
children and youth in the local area with an emphasis on outreach and the buildings have been Lrtllised
by several groups throughout the weeks.
Achlevements & Perfomance
The financial year began with planning for Refresh, we were excited to be re-launching our conference
and to be joined by Grace Wheeler. a nationally recognised speaker and communicator and premous
member of our church community. We visited our new venue. Cloverfey Hall, and look laser
measurements of all the venues. This came In useful when the venue changed the arrival times and
we were left with a 10 hour setup rather than 36 hoursl Thanks to our team we made purchases of a
light rig and mocked up the setup in a laped-out area of the Car park In order to make sure everything
worked and fitted exadyl June 16th saw Refresh relaunched and we had an amazing weekend of
fellowship and teaching.
The usual activities Gontinued seeing an increase in the demand for. and donations to. our foodbank.
In September our interns, Millie and Malachi started their second year with us and were joined part
tlme by Evelyn. All have worked really hard for our team.
In November the team attended CRE a yearly exhibition for Chrtslian resources. Many useful
connections were made, and the team are working on several partnerships for the future and ways to
make sure we are stewarding our finances in the best way possible. We are particularly excited about
working with Konngct Radio moving forward and have been using their radio shows at Foodbank and
other events. We also used a Lego animation augmenled nativity trail throughout December. This
was purchased at CRE.
November 22nd saw us pul on a worship night in the Hub which was an incredlble Ilme and resumed
In a lol of our fringe youth attending arKJ oxpert8ncing worship for the first time.
The thome for our Carol seryice was 'Chrislmas through the years, this involved a very ambitious
model railway spearheaded by Tom, Lauren and John, which drew much attention from Warley Model
Railway Club who run the UK'S largest Model Railway exhibition at the NEC. This led lo them
attending the Carol SeNice and bringing three further layouts including a Thomas the Tank Engine
themed children's layout, which had a lot of use. The service itself saw Carols around the piano, music

from drfferenl eras and a gospel message. As always it was a major outreach event forthe community
and we were thrilled lo see people from Foodbank and other groups bringing family and friends.
February saw a focus on the maintenance of ow grounds. with a group of volunteers spending Ihg
half term week making significant improvements, including our outdoor sealing area.
March saw the preparation for a teaching series called "We are the churth. focussing on our role as
we aim to serve the world as followers of Jesus. April saw We Are The Church dellvered and a very
popular line of merch was sold including hoodies. sweatshirts and stickers. May & June saw work
carried out as we treated the floorboards in the hub.
As we travel through the year it's great to watch people and ministries grow. It's incredible lo look
back on where we were and thank God for all he has done and is doing. Isaiah 43.19 says:
"See, l am doing a new thing.1 Now it springs up.. do you not perceive it? l am making 8 way in the
wilderness and streams in fhe wasleland.-
Sometimes growih can be almost imperceptible when you're in the middle of it. Il's separation or
standing back that creates the "Wow haven't you grown up!" moments. Il's dear to see that God is
making a way, He is calling people lo a deeper understanding ofwho He is and what they are capable
of if they surrender to Him. We know that God never changes bul is always doing something new. As
Church we areloarning to perceive it. I'm always grateful for the work of our leaders and volunteers.
Without them il would be impossib58 to do the wotk we are doing in our community.
It seems a little frivolous. bLtt our model railway really spoke to me ofwh8t we can achieve as a church.
We are blessed with people who are willing to have a go. and those people strive for a level that
seems out of reach. it flies in the face of conventional wisdom. We don't have the budget. the skills or
the experience sometimes. But at PHCC I find a team that are willing to leam. to put in the extra hours
and end up at the deslinatlon we had the vision forl
Keep going. keep dreaming and priorilise Jesus, °You were made for such a lime as this."
