Coleraine Church of Christ Trustee Report We are happy to report that satisfactory outcomes were reached in all our planned events for the year. Being a community focused church we are pleased to partner with a number of projects in the Borough. It has been our tradition over the years to host a Christmas party for the children of Asylum seekers and Refugees residing in the Borough. In addition to our churches donation toward this we were happy to receive contributions from a number of businesses, including, Tesco, Sainsbury and Asda. As our church was a founder member of Causeway Multi Cultural Forum they continue to use our church facilitates to conduct their meetings and where appropriate, events. There would be 8 management meetings within the 12 months. Our visitation to nursing homes continues when we have engaged in singing and pastoral ministry. These include Bohill Nursing facility, The Cottage care home, Rathene Nursing home and Bohill Bungalows for mentally challenged residents.

Our benevolence and overseas missions has been exceptionally well supported this year, both in assisting sister congregations or individuals in India, Philippines, Zimbabwe, Ukraine and Ghana. This program also addresses local benevolent needs with contributions made to Children's Services, transport to hospital appointments and single mothers by referral from Social Services. (Donations are given to Social Services for delivery to recipients. We have no contact with the families and request anonymity.)

They are given the experience of working with local churches, charities and youth activities for those who may be considering Ministry as a vocation or those wishing to experience service in a different culture.
