With regard to our weekly collec�ons, we have sent gi�s to Chris�an Missions with a view to spreading the news about the Chris�an Faith in the UK and around the world including contacts in Ukraine.
Some of those missions were: Emmaus Bible School, Gideons Uk (now called “Good News for Everyone”), Open Air Mission, Barnabus Fund, Samaritans Purse, The Faith Mission, Chris�ans Against Poverty, Opal Trust, Logos Ministries Interna�onal, Mission Avia�on Fellowship, MedicaL Missionary News and Open Doors. Some of these missions are working with people who are very poor and cannot afford food, medicines or Bibles etc.
Our contact with the local community is also made by visi�ng “door to door” as we have for many years, delivering a Chris�an Newspaper. We were also very happy to support a local food bank. On several occasions we have supported those who were in financial difficulty, some of which were not church members. We have a monthly Coffee Morning which is well a�ended.
As a Church, over many years, we have set up displays (exhibi�ons) of “Bible stories” such as “the birth of Jesus,” and the “Life of Jesus.” These presenta�ons were carried out in the Church building and also in Schools. Some of our members visit schools to present New Testaments and take “Assemblies.”
villages, showing friendship and interest in the lives of local people. There is a Church website which is used widely to explore all our ac�vi�es and links so that anybody can listen to the sermons. This is helpful to those who are unable to a�end physically in person.
