Sarah carrled out relevant checks and inlerviews wlth both Rachel Sollis and Timothy Haywood. 80th were handplcked due to their impeccable characters, knowledge arbd thelr lo¥e for Jesus. It was extremely sad to see Sarah resign but we fully understand her rea50nings and we absolutely are cheerln8 Sarah on in her new career roles. We a SQ thankful for all that she brought to the trusteeship of One thurch Lancs and the way that she conducted herseff through the transltlon perfod. She left a solld foundation that Is ea$y to build on to move the Church forward. Updated Vision & Values Infmth Thls year saw Simon and Valda visit the Hebrides Rewval Conference in Stornow4y on the Isle of Lewis. This was a trip thal was paid for by One Church iarKs as donations had been received from Brave Church Ohio which were restricted for this intended purpose. This was so beneficial to both Simon ané Valda is they could really feel the presence of and with the main theme belng'God comes where He is wanted, they felt very convicted about the vision and Values of the values. Pa8e 4 of 22
There was nothing wrong with the Senti1rnt of them. but theytruly felt burdened th God wasn't at the centre of them. Time was tsken to just desire God more. to want Him enough that we start to See the manlfest presence of Him in all areas. We realed that God had to be the reason that we do what we do. After thou£hthJl prayer and Conservation, we decided to update all our banners and website with a shortened but more impa¢tful set of values. These are= God comes where He is Wanted So we want to be a Church, a ¢ommunty and irKllviduals that are Passionate about God Authentlc with God Humble before God Generous because of God These are expanded on further with <larification of meaning but there Is an evldent shift in ?uttin8 Gcl central In all that we do and thos has trar)sforrned every area of the ¢rBanisation. Achlevement and Performance Church Ser4rfces Church has continued to go from strength 10 strength. Whilst some have moved on to other churches, all partles have lelt that this wasthe rtght declsbn forall concerned. At present we don't have anythin for teenagers, and this is something that we do need to be established. We really do have a heart for them but at th15 time. the labourers who are highly skilled and burdened for this •g¢ group have not bèen sent to joln us yet and therefore we do not want to srart something that we cannot give the very best that it deserves. We do pray thatthis will chan8• in the very near future as we would lov• to have lots of pr¢grams that sult all generation5. With that being sald. we do have new people comin8 in who have now made One Church th•lr home and we have had plenty ot vlsltors. all of which are for us ané not a8ain5t us. In the last 6 months we have seen church attendance grow and although we had not prevlously collected data on attendance. primarily due to shifting prk)rities. there has been an influx of individuals eominR from recovery backgrounds. ThrOughot the year. we have seen people rislng and fi'ndlng thelr fit wlthln the Church. Leah Hooper prayed and accepted her rofe as Worship pastor and AndW arxl Abbie Davies have become our Children's Church pastors. We aré humbled by their 8nerous arts and their obedience to serve God- their fèithfulness ha5 helped others to find their fit as part of the welcome team and pack down team. Thls year we have seen Justin and Pamela Wharton becoming K)re visible in the Church. Whi15t they have always served tirelessly in the background with title assigned to them, thls year we have seen them rise as leaders that are key to working alongside Simon and Valda. They are instrumEntal to the Church and now both have active re5 on Preachine and Lead Through teams alongslde thelr other dutie5. The Church hè5 also seen 8ernadette Groves Wright return to 05waldts¥istle from Irèlané. Bemadette has always supported the Church and in September 2C.24 shé felt that God was telling her tts move back home and ottend One Church. Bernadette is now heading up most of our pastoral work and is loved by everyone who meets her. She has the heart of God and has the abilrty to help people work through their situations so that they can be the very best e10n of themselves. We see lots of fruit Page 5 of
from the pastornl meetin¢s that she undertakes within the church and the community itself. The Church teaching series has remained powerful throughout the year. The messages have prepared people fcrdaily life. equipped them to stay strong and inspired them to become all that God is calling them to be. Andrew and Abbie have ensured that Children's Church teach from the same series as the maln church and this has enabled healthy conversations when the con8re8ation has returned home. We believe that this is extremely healthy. and we love that parents now feel confidènt thai they can further explo the dals rrssage at their dinner tables. Children's Churth now Incorporate worship into their settin& so the children can worship freely wlth actions. This is such a blesslng to them, and we embrace the fact that they lo God just as much as the adults. We believe that our chlldren are rK>t just future leaders but that they are leadèrs naw and we know that Andrew and Abbie are integral in enablin8 everyone of the children entrusted Intc thelr care to see the treasure that is wtthin them. We continue to ensure that there are free refreshments and snacks tor all that attend. We also iry to have food and cake tcqethèr every couple of months or sooner if financially possibfe as wè recognise the Importance of eating together. Alongside beinq spiritual, somethlng powerful happens In conversations when eating tO8ether, there 15 a onene55 that would rt be the same If we only had chance to say hello quickly to each other. There remSns no ¢olle¢tlon plate during and after seNice, h¢)wever we do have 'giving envelope that people have to actively get from the information desk. We reco8nise that givlng Is a biblical princlple however we are also findinq that many people want to give be¢ause we are not constsntly osklng. We have been so blessed with the donatlons made this year by those attendin& we are humbled. and our hearts ère full of gratitude f¢x every one of them. We take nothin8 at all for grante(l and ensure that we are iood stewards wlth the nK*nles donated. Prayer Through1 this year we have been yssionate about maklng prwr central to our church lrfe ar believe st should always be our first response. Whlle we've made efforts to establlsh in-person prayer meetings with varyin8 de8rees of suctess, we recognise that buildini this into the core of our church culture will tske time, and we're rKJt qurte there yet. To help move in thi3 direction, we have introduced a monthl¥ online prayer meeting. Our goal is to prioritise prayer as an essential part of our church, and we are committed to attending this regularly. The first onlim prayèr mèetlfl8 beKan in Septernber and this went well. Aftera brref introductoryvideo where we said hello, we turned off our cameras and used a1) only. allowiro us to frxus on praying through the strategic prnyer plan that was shared. We also have •weekly prayer email for those who would Ilke to prdy for people throughout the week. We love that neady all attendees have embraced this by Signi up to receive It arKI we have seen miracles on the back of peopte standin8 together in prayer. Baptlsms We have seen 3 baptisms this year and this has excited u5 to see $0 many more in the future. The 3 baptisms were 3 young males all of which have sirffered with mental health problems. They have always seell themselve5 a5 unworthy and different than ttr.eir peers and to see the chain5 of that type of thinking break ha5 been heart wrenchin& G¢)d is at wcrk. and we don't ever want tu mis5 cut on what He 15 doirq. Pa8e 6 of 22
All bapttsms have been cormlucted at the home of 5irN)n and Valda. They have welcomtd in the Church and the families of those being baptised and there is something so special about having them outside of the church walls. There is hot food and drink for everyone, and we really do celebrate those that are being baptised. Blbles We are Still rn3king bible5 free tothose who want them. Tb.is yearwe have given anothÈr 33 away. We krlow that this is less than last year, but these are mainly to people who don't attend the servlces. We hope that people wlll explo thelr falth and see that God is a God who loves them UnCorltI0nal1v. Community Hardshlp Supp Community support ha$ remined more important to U5 than ever, and we reallse that there are still so many needs that are currently unmet. Many of these are related to poverty with the m05t basic needs belng unmet for rnany in soclety. A5 0 Church helping to meet those reeds wa5 alway5 golng to be an obiective that wè would aim to meet. Vèlda currently oversees all this work and is paid part time for her role. She has rn•lly found favour In the community as many continually put theirtrust In her. It isn't easy for people to shcw their finance5 but Vakla Is key to helplng Peop remove the barriers and stigma that is attached to poverty and i$¢lation. Throughout year, we have been able to supwrtjust over I,OCQ households in various ways whkh inclLKle F¢)od parcels & erner8en shops Gas/Electric provlsion Tolletries othlng Unlforms Whitè GOC$ Vouchers to meet basic needs As a Church, we are so thankful that we have been able to partner with The Household Support Team to meet the needs above. Alongside the church donations. the fundin8 has enabled the basic needs of firnilies ond individuals to be met. The problem of poverty is Simply 8rowln8 and that is just heartbreaklng to see. Many in sotlety believè that those in need are on benefits and are just out for what they tan get but the reèllty is so much dlfferent. Many of those that are in need are workers who can't make their money stretch the limited periaj. M05t are jLbSt over the threshold so miss out on all the support and it is devastating to see the hardships that they fa¢e. Many have unexpected1055 of a loved one and just have nowhere to turn for help. Slek pay doesn't help them manage their mortgage and bills. They have to choose wkether they eat or 5tsy Wa1. There are many pensloners being added io our number5 and this is a growing sign that e{ty hits all generations. Alon8&id the emer8ency support that w¢ offer, we were able to directly referthe most needyfamilles and indlviduab for a more specialised sUPPOrt package fnjm The Household Support team. All eligible funding went directly to the pr/hOUSehokI and although the referrals do not refkct In any of our financial accounting, we feel extremety blessed that One Church has been the vehicle used to facilitste the funding bèing direrted to those suffering silence. Through our dirert referrals an additional £58.607 r)f funding went to homes that were desperately in need. Page 7 of 22
We also We able to 8ive out Winter Warmer & Srnall Appliance packs whlch were a welcome blessirg to the recipients. These were all funded by The Household Support team. Each Wlnter Wam)er pack inClJed- Electrit 81anket Retractable Washirrd Line Fan Heater Heated Maiden Hot Water B¢xrle Thick Blankets Each Small Appll•nce pack include: Slow Cooker Alr Fryer Sotsp Maker Toaster Kettle Each family or Individual has a onè to.one meeting and full actton plan5 and p•ptrwork is gsven or posted to those attending. Whilst this does incur additional administration costs for the Church, the benefit for the client is mere impactful. As Valda15 a qualified Level 6 Careerfs advisor, she has also helped people to create Cv's and showèd those that have been away from the job market for a perlod of time how to upsklll and 4¢¢e55 vacant employment opportunlties that are available to them. Alcngside helplni families to have their basic needs met, One Church Lancs also bought wardrobes for a family and supported 3 homele55 people moving into accommodation. One Church Lan¢s is proud that It contlnues to help some of our most vulnerable sector5 in soclety by wa5hin8 and dryin& thelr lothe5 on a weekly basls. R•nt & Stornge 05waldtwistle Mills Business and Conference Centre remains our on sundays and whilst we do have a small amount of storage there. we have had to rent additional storage. This is due to the incredible need of our comrnunity as many of the toiletries at)d rKn-perishables can be bought In bulk. It also allows us to have a safe space for50wne ofthe bi88er church items that * ry)t needed each week. Pastoral Care Support Whilst pastoral care has always been needed in Society. we are ¢ontinuin8 to see that this is beneflcial to our eommunity. As a Church we are committed towalkiry4 a long-term journey withth05e who need additional supp¢n as we do V•wnt peopk to thrtve In all areas of their life. Many are not ready to attend a 6-week training prLYdram to help them gain more cornfidence. they 5irnply need people to vlsit 01 telephone them. Building trust takes time and One church Lancs realises the importsnce of this. We may be a Small church in comparlson io some In the area however weare small church with a big heart for others and will always try to break down the barriers of isolation. As a church we will always exist to offer a community that people can belong to and feel part of even if they never enter the Church doors. Church has nèver just been about a Sunday servlce experience, ivs about being gorjd news to our community every day of the week supportlng them In any wav that we can wtrèthÈrthèt be spiritually. physically. mentslly. emotional. or sOClIY.

We realise that at certain times within the year that there are key times that put additional pressure on our Community. These are generally in School holidays and Christmas whèn ¢hildren are at home more which means extr4 foodltoy parcels are needed or eTrotional support is required fer parents. Other key events are on what the world would call 'special day5. such as Motherfs Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day etc. People in our society can dread these days fty nurmrous reasons and we Icck at how we tan suppgrt people on those days by helpin8 thern to feel Valued and listened to. Wè have loved all the project5 that we have run in ¢)urcommunity in this accountlng perlpd. Feedback from our community has been that they were able to enjoy Chri5tma5 for the first til in years and that people felt loved and cared about on the other special days. A small g•sture has made a hug• positive impact for those who have previously struggled on these days. Our projects are n¢t always about Monetary value but abour the love and Care Shown to others when they are goin8 through challenging tlmes, External Donat15 One Church Lancs has glven donations to the value of £6,686 to extern•l organisatlons that are doing 8reat work supporting our community. Many of the donations have supported those provldinrt food prDvi5ion. children's educati¢)n. young people's retreational activities and spSritual needs. We have Iven as much as our donat¢ons have allowed us 10 8iV¢. Our external donations have also enabled us to support families that are golnK through the rnost heartbreakin¥ of time5 such as unexpected death in the family helping wlth funeral costs. Contlnulng to 5UPPOrt other or4anlsations will be a hi8h priority for One ChLtrth Lancs as we reallse that we can only make a dlfference il we support eath other. We all serve the same purposè which is tosee our cornrnunity thrive in all aspects of lrfe. Whilst there may be differÈnt ways of tackllnK pover or soclal i501ation, we See this as positlve as it widens tht routes so our eommunty can access services In a way that 1$ comfortable for them. Wè cornmend all th¢xe making a positive drfferen¢e within cwr community and will support them in any way thjt our res¢ur¢e$ allow us. Other As a Charlty, we recoqnise that we would not be able to carry out the WQTk we do without the 5UPPOrt. investment, and commitment of our faithful volunteers. who work tirelessly in their service of the Chvrchlcharity. We also realise how important donations ère to us. We are so thankful for those who regularly tithe and give offenngs to One Church Lancs and those that are restri¢ted to cur Community Hardship Support as Without these donations we could not opeFaie in the way that we do and that would mean that our community suffers. We are also thankful to rhose In our cornmunrty who are not directly associated with the church but who regularly donate through our orbline 8iving as they fully believe irb the work we are doing within the communrty. We applaud them for their integrtty to stay silent and thefOre reeerve no glory. All these donatlons have helped us make a huge difference withln our communitythat we would not have been able tc do wthout their support.
