## **CRAYFORD BAPTIST CHURCH: ANNUAL REPORT OF TRUSTEES FOR 2023** 

During the year the church has continued to serve its community and to o�er Christian worship every week. Always for the benefit of all, Crayford Baptist Church has held regular Bible studies, prayer meetings and home groups. We have also been very active in caring for those in need within the fellowship. 

through the Baptist Missionary Society (BMS World Mission). We have also built on our involvement with Churches Together in Crayford. The Community Fridge is operated from our premises and we have joined with other churches in the World Day of Prayer and in special Easter and Advent services. Our church has also organised regular litter-picking sessions in the local community. We run a successful Stay and Play for parents and childminders each week and let out premises to Mini Gems, a local nursery. We have also combined together Boys Brigade & Girls Association to run a regular youth group based on Christian Brigade principles. 

We appointed Moderators, Glenis & George Ruston to help us in a period of interregnum and have been supported and advised by London Baptists Regional Ministers. We have declined in membership and it has been a challenging year in this respect but we end it with much greater hope for the future. Our Charity Trustees have been reduced as a result of this and those remaining have worked extra hard to maintain and operate the church in the best way. We are so dependent on many volunteers who work hard behind the scenes every week and, as always, acknowledge that without their constant support the church would not be able to work as e�ectively.
