Section D Achievements and performance As we look back over 2024, w8 can reflect on how much has been achieved through our departments, events and Sunday gatherings. God has blessed us and enabled us to reach our communities with His love and are so thankful to everyone who gave their finance, time, energy, prayer and resources to make 2024 a significant year in the lrfe on Now Church. Summary of the maln achievements of the charity during the year Our Langold building was very busy throughout the week with the many activities and seN1$ we run for the local community. Many peop58 have discoverèd Now Church for the first time and a full children and youth programme also ran throughoLrt the week. During the August summer holidays VR ran a Stay and Play holiday club for primary school aged children and their families which proved very popular again. Now Gold is our rnonthly senior citizens lunch whilst weekly events such as Now Tots and Bible Studies meant the Church was open most days of the week. In response to th8 cost of living crisis that became a major concem for many in our locality during recent years, vrfe continued to run community grocery called the Food Hub and also the Lounge wher8 people could use the Church building and café during the week to keep warm when the ¢ost of heating their homes became too 8xpensiv8 in the autumn and winter. The year ended with a packed Christmas programme in December as usual vrfith the Carols by Candlelight service in the Church. TAR
