Attivities for children continued atthe 10:30 Servi￿ until December when the new 4pm
service was launched.
The monthly all age service came to an end in September a5 it was felt that this service was
not working well at the 10.30. Plans were already on the way for a new 4pm informal
se￿iCe that would cater better for families. With this the 10:30 Servi￿ can concentrate on
having ivs own identity. We pray that we will see this service grow during 2025.
In December we launched the 4pm infornial service. DuringAdvent we held the Christingle
service, carol servi￿, and a crib service at the 4pm to help launch and publicise this new
service. Each of these events was well attended. The new service tirne and infomial nature
is aimed at those who a momin8 service does not fft with their fifestyle. We alm forthis
service to evolve over time and to reach those who have not yet experienced church before.
We are exuted to see how this service developsthroughout 2025.

only to come together to worship God. but also to come all￿8s1de one another, building
fellowship and tackling loneliness and isolation.

Helen's Ore, the salvatlon Army, Ore Methodist Church and Houlton Baptist Church.

Our monthly prayer evenings are a continued source of encouragement as we gather to prav

The goals agreed for the coming year are as follows: Grow children's and youth work. Reach
families and build relationships with schools. Improve discipleship of church members. To
be more open to the Holy Spirit. Empower Lay Ministry/new leade￿. Our vision to become
embedded in all we do. lrnprove hospitality. welcome and the spirit of senerosity. &ich
church to contribute to the common good within their community.
This is an ongoing process, and our mission attton plon will be reviewed annuallyto ensure
we represent the community in which we are set.
Pastoral reorganisation
Durin8 2024 the PCC of St Helen's and the PCC of Christ Church Ore discussed the possibiltty
of becoming one united parish. Slnce 2020 both parishes have been working together
sharin8 a priest-ln-charge. a curate, children'5 and youth worker, and an operations
manager. There has a150 been cr055 working withln ministrles held in each parish. With this
in mind, and after prayerful discussion and an away day. both PCCS voted to become one
