This is done through the dissemination of God's Word, giving Biblical guidance as how to obtain a relationship with God and to continue to live in a manner that is pleasing to God. This is summed up in our mission statement which is, 'To Know Jesus and Make Him Known" Calvary Braid Valley has been fortunate in the fact that those who have benefited from our activities include not only the regular members of the church, but also many members of the wider community of Ballymena as well as the surrounding borough. This fiscal year report covers a time when we had changed the meeting location for Sunday morning and midweek meetings. Moving from the village of Broughshane to the town of Ballymena, we have gained a presence in the town centre of Ballymena and have provided fellowship, support and encouragement to many people from this location. Our online presence has continued during this time. As a church we were able to host as well as be in attendance to group meetings for prayers, daily devotions and women's Bible study that were open to the public. We were able to continue to bring comfort, encouragement and hope too many people both within our church and in the community at large. This presence also allowed us to help mitigate some of the tremendous mental health strains that arise from the stresses of life as well as bringing connection for people who feel alone and disheartened. 65 Lnowehead Road, Broughshane- North Irel..d bT*) 7JL ern Tel: 078 755 +07+1 Lmail: fL)Q8trial . hi-3idvalley.L)ri artA. ] ./ J_.N,(.-Io_'/b CBV,. y braid V.Iley var ¢> The church's 'Thrive" ministry, which benefits the public by giving the opportunity for those facing loneliness and isolation to get together with others, grew and expanded.
