He calls us to love one another and often did this through conversations over food. Here at CHC, we welcome people to come and share the Christian faith with us and also do provide food to people in need and sometimes provide refreshments after church services. **Everybody Welcome** : No matter what background, race, gender, age, ability or political leaning, everybody is welcomed to fellowship with us.

We will strive to reach out to those in our community who may find it difficult to come in. **Always Searching** : We want questions to be asked, opinions to be challenged and for the search for truth to be an exciting and guided experience. We will always welcome conversation, offer prayer, support, and point to other help as necessary. We do not presume to have all the answers. We hope local churches, community groups and **Generous Giving** : CHC only exists through generous giving. We believe in finding unmet need; doing more than the minimum; in putting the last, first. During Sunday Services our church members give offerings which we use to run the church. Our daily activities are run by volunteers, church members, trustees and supporters who help with their time, skills, resources, encouragement and prayers. We look for creative ways to give generously to our guests and to other organisations and projects ## Achievements & Performance ## **Prayer Team** We have a prayer team that coordinates our Prayer and Bible Studies meetings on Fridays (virtual) and Sundays (virtual and face to face). They intercede and pray for people who may need prayers for various reasons. ## **Communications Team** During 2021 and beyond, there have been regular communications with church members via face to face church meetings and on zoom meetings. We also have a whatsup group where information is shared with all church members. These platforms helps us to communicate with our members and to preach the Gospel of Jesus to our members. ## **Programmes** We have organised recreational activities for instance; walks and jogging this year.
