Trustees, Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2022
The trustees present the annual report and statements of Receipts and Payments and Assets
and Liabilities for the Knocknamuckley Parish Church for the year ended 31 December 2022.
The purpose of the charity
The charitable purpose of the Church of Ireland is the advancement of religion.
The principal function of the Knocknamuckley Parish Church is to support the advancement
of the Christian religion by promoting, through the work of the Parish, the whole mission of
the Church, pastoral, evangelistic and social. The spiritual life of the Church is defined by the
Holy Bible and a classical Anglican ethos as set out in the 39 Articles of religion. The Bible is
central to the work at all levels in the Parish. Being open to and engaging with society as a
whole and offering support for those needing help are fundamental to the practical delivery
of the benefits of Christianity.
As a result of activity in the pursuit of the advancement of the Christian religion, the Parish
has custody of property and of records, materials, and artefacts of significance to the cultural
and religious heritage and maintenance, of which is undertaken by the select vestry of the
Parish as a secondary charitable purpose.
The activities of the charity
Worship and proyer
At the heart of Knocknamuckley Parish Church is a passionate desire to glorify God and
demonstrate His love. Our varied services such as Morning Prayer, Informal Praise Service,
Family Service, Praise and Testimony Service and Holy Communion services provide
opportunities for everyone to engage in worship and prayer and also enable our community
to participate in quiet reflective moments. In addition, varied activities such as Ladies
Together, Mid-week Bible study, Craft Class and Friendship Hour provide opportunities to
engage with each other and be built up in a practical Christian way.
Postoral care
We recognize that there are issues in our Parish that stem from sickness, bereavement,
elderly, house bound, and those receiving medical treatment, care in hospital and local
Nursing homes, and we are committed to helping these people in need with empathy, love
and compassion. We also actively seek to reach out into our community through a range of
caring and educational programs for young people. These projects include Sunday School,
Young Peoples Bible class, Boys and Girls Brigade with over 100 members each, and Craigavon
Christian Youth.

The activities of the charity (continued)
Missions and evangelism
Helping those in need is a demonstration of our faith. Another part of the vision for
Knocknamuckley Parish Church reaches out into the local community with events like inviting
Bleary Primary School to lead our worship, and support for societies such as Earl Haig Fund,
Protestant Orphans Society, Christian Institute and Sight Savers. Mission also extends beyond
N Ireland and established relationships and donations from Knocknamuckley Parish Church
help to support different missionary societies abroad such as The Bible Society, Crosslinks,
The Leprosy Mission and also Irish Church Missions. Our support includes that of our link
missionarie5 working for Crosslinks in Sweden.
The achievements of the charity
Central to work at all levels in the Parish is teaching God's word to bring Parishioners into a
deeper knowledge and understanding of Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour so that they are
thoroughly equipped and discipled to reach out into the community beyond the Parish.
Knocknamuckley Parish Church continues to offer a range of services over the course of the
year that our community finds both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. It continues to reach
out to all Parish members, seeking to transform the local community and build a Christ
centered congregation, which will be a witness for Jesus Christ and work for the advancement
of His kingdom.
The direct benefit of participation in Church life includes the enjoyment of public worship and
giving and receiving of pastoral ministry, improved understanding of the Bible and improved
values relating to civic engagement. Also, community cohesion and providing a bridge
between diverse groups as well as improved educational outcomes through the Churches
ministry of teaching.

Trustees, Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2022
(continued)
The achievements of the charity {continued)
The renovation of Bleary Hall is now completed, and we are looking forward to continuing
and increasing our outreach activities in this community. This hall now hosts a pre-school
group.
The expression of the precepts of the Christian religion through engagement with the general
public, and in particularwith the disadvantaged, the sick, the elderly and the young is a public
benefit. This can be measured and evidenced through regular visitation, increased social
integration and pastoral care delivered at the point of need.
Overall, the beneficiaries of Knocknamuckley Parish Church are the general public and the
public valuation of the benefits can be evidenced through attendance at public worship,
participation in Church governance and willingness to support the continuing witness of the
Church through contributions. The wider benefit to the public is the availability of a place for
worshiping in the course of Christian outreach and the facilitation of weddings, funerals and
baptisms. Any private benefit arising out of the fulfillment of our Christian ministry or to lay
staff 15 essential to the fulfillment for the purpose of religion.
No Trustee receives
remuneration, reward or other private benefit for carrying out their Trustee responsibility.
Also, the direct benefits flowing from the purpose of the Church include the provision of
archive records, public enjoyment of historic buildings and artifacts such as Church plate,
furnishings and materials as an overall improved appreciation of a longstanding Christian
heritage. This is demonstrated through on-going provision of access to records and the use
made of these records in, for example, research and genealogy, through conservation efforts
in respect of records, property and artifacts and the subsequent and requests for access and
use of our materials by wider society. Some requests for information during the year came
from abroad.
To mitigate against harm, the Trustees ensure adequate health and safety measures are in
place at Knocknamuckley Parish Church. Also, child protection checks and retraining are in
place for those involved in children and youth work. No private benefit is received from
Trustees fulfilling their responsibilities in respect of buildings, artifacts or records. In the
course of conservation and to make records accessible to the public, no professional staff are
engaged for the fulfillment of the purpose. The beneficiaries are solely the general public.
Our rectory grounds are used to host various church/community events: GB/BB camp,
Christmas and Easter Parish events. This is a great asset to the Parish.
We have also been joined with The Yellow Ribbon Charity to reach out to those who are
suffering from mental illness.
