TRUSTEES REPORT
OF
FAITH FELLOWSHIP CHURCH
Today we praise God for His continual support and kindness towards us and take delight in having helped and encouraged so many people over the years.
Details of all income and expenditure are found in the attached financial report. After such a difficult time for us all, we are pleased to see an increase in tithes and offerings from last years, and that people continue to choose to Gift Aid their donations. We thank everyone for their faithful and sacrifical giving.
Our regular Church services have been a source of blessing to myself and others as we recognise the need to teaching the scriptures to both members and the community and know that it is appreciated as a recent comment was "I just love this wee church, Pastor!"
Faith Fellowship Church is one that believes in the power of prayer. Throughout our service's we find ourselves praying for others, bringing their troubles to Father God. Our prayerline ministry is open to callers from all over the United Kingdom, and we are thankful to God that this ministry continues to help others.
The need for hospital and home visits is strong. So much so, that my wife and I, who used to visit together, are now having to divide the visits between us.
"Handful's of Purpose" is an outreach ministry. Through it we give away hundreds of pieces of inspirational, uplifting and encouraging literature.
We thank the people of Bangor, Northern Ireland for their continued support - it is much appreciated.
Faith Gospel Church in Brampton, Ontario, Canada are also thanked for their giving to the church. What they send to the church is spent, at their request, 100% towards car expenses.
