Trustees Annual Report 2022
The Church has moved forward, and all C0-Vid restrictions have been lifted.
We continue to hold one Sunday service a week on alternate morning and evenings. Our activities outside during the week are Rainbow Tots, Sisterhood, Christian Endeavour, Coffee afternoon, Kids club and Youth Club, which are all carefully managed.
Our finances are in good shape considering the current financial climate.
We have been working towards amalgamating to a local Church which has closed, but this has so far taken many years due to the pandemic and the paperwork restraints with the Baptist Union. We are hoping this will be finalised by the end of this year.
