3. Chair’s Report:
This was the second year of Lighthouse Haddenham and what a fantastic year it was! The first ‘thank you’ goes to God, who poured out His Spirit on this event and made it such a special way of witnessing the Gospel in Haddenham. With 180 children registered and a high of 150 children on site, we can say that this event had a significant appeal and impact in our local area.
Management Team: Lighthouse Trustees – Cassa Messervy (Chair), Dianne Brackley (Vice Chair) Jonny Fillis, Loraine Milmer, Naomi Foreman-Peck, Cassie Childs (Officer - co-Treasurer) and Alex Reading (Officer – co-Treasurer), Val Walker (Safeguarding officer), Colin Brackley (Site Manager) The Trustees and Officers get the next big ‘thank you’ for their willingness to step out in faith and ability to hold the vision for this amazing event. We have an able team with a range of skills which came together beautifully over the week. Part of the structure of Lighthouse Haddenham is the support of Lighthouse Central, so ably led by Pat Reading and her team. They have enabled so much of the organisation of this event to run smoothly.
Volunteers: We had over 100 volunteers signed up to help in various ways across the week. They gave up their time to ensure that the children had a great time and the wonderful thing about that, is that they had a great time too! We are incredibly thankful for the cheerfulness, grace and dedication of all our volunteers. Without their willingness to get stuck in, Lighthouse would not happen! It was wonderful to see the range of ages of our volunteers, from 12 to 86! They are all stars! A massive ‘thank you’! Teaching, Activities, Main Stage: Our teaching theme this year had an Olympic flavour with many fun activities and games based on the Olympics. Each day we thought about Bible stories about Peter (the rock) who was willing to ‘Change’, ‘listen’, ‘trust’, ‘forgive’ and ‘believe’. Our Age Group Teachers, Age Group Leaders and Main Stage crew used the resources provided with creativity and flare; the children learned a lot across the week. Our Craft team was superb, creating some wonderful craft activities for the children. The Sport team was also outstanding, creating fun activities for the children from a ‘blank canvas’.
Finances: The accounts are available and show a reasonable balance at the end of the year. We are very grateful for the support of organisations like the Haddenham Beer Festival and Aylesbury Deanery and all the churches in Haddenham that have given generous grants. Similarly, we received many donations during the week from the parents of the children attending and generous one-off donations from individuals, for which we are very thankful and without which we would not be able to run such a good event.
Fruits and Next Year: One of the fruits of Lighthouse this year has been two new Churches Together in Haddenham initiatives: a fortnightly club for KS2 (7 -11 yrs) children and a Youth Club called ‘Ignite’ (11-18 yrs), which is running three times a half term.
Given the success of this year, Lighthouse Haddenham will run again in 2025 from Monday 18[th] of August to Friday 22[nd] August.
