## **GRANGETOWN BAPTIST CHURCH** ## Annual Report for the Charity Commission – 01/04/2020 - 31/03/2021 Throughout this year (April 2020 to March 2021) we have continued to pursue our charitable objectives. Despite the lockdowns, as soon as we were able to meet, we have done so. Our regular Sunday Services have continued and attendance has grown significantly. The English Classes have met as they have been able. They too have known considerable growth. There are now four classes on a Thursday and three on a Friday. The Night Shelter ran on Monday nights over the winter months in a limited and COVID safe way. The Foodbank has continued to run on Fridays throughout the year. People have come to our Sunday services through all of these ministries. Our weekly prayer meeting continues and is growing. Sunday School and Town Kids continue to be well attended and our membership has continued to grow. Over the year we have initiated and completed a large number of maintenance and refurbishment projects on the building. This work continues. Our online presence continues also. We stream our Sunday Services and our daily livestream at 8.45am each weekday morning continues also. We have run a number of introductory courses online through the year over zoom. Our financial situation is improving in a very encouraging way. We have also invested in training with the aim of raising up new leaders in the church It has been a busy and, with COVID, a very challenging year. We to look to God to continue to build his church in the year to come.
