Review of the Year:
In this year 2024, we have been improving in our functionalities as CIO.
We as a Christian community, we published and distributed our church services and activities to the public. We also provided the information through our website as well;
Every Sunday @ 10 am we gather for Sunday “Praise and Worship” Service.
We invited the people from any background for our “Sunday Community Food” scheme which will happen every Sunday around 12:30 pm at the place where we conduct our “Praise and Worship” Sunday service.
We conducted bible studies to build the Christian faith and for other people who want to know about Christian faith as well;
We conduct Tamil language classes so that anyone who wish can learn it;
We conducted prayer service every 1[st] Saturday in a month for our local and around community. People come and ask for prayer to support them.
We established a new care-cell group at Watford, Ilford (Seven Kings), Southampton, Portsmouth & Basingstoke to meet the needs of the people around that area by giving prayer and moral support.
We meet sick people whom we come to know through our church members and friends and pray for them and help them in taking them to doctor’s appointment and also spending some time with them for their mental support and comfort.
We plan to conduct Annual General Meeting every year on February 4th Sunday and General Meeting every year on November 4th Sunday.
We continue to work close with other charities, by funding them, who also work for purposes that are similar to ours;
Membership of our CIO is increasing every single year and also the support of our members and other friends also.
