given permission to preach. Mrs Janice Beattie completed a Parish reader course and we also had a placement
student from Belfast bible college assisting our Community Pastor with youth work.
As a result of these activities and appointments we have had another year of growth In numbers and finance.
The growth in finance can be attributed to increased attendance and to a bequest at the start of the year. The
church also continued to support the local foodbank and other local Charities.
The churth 'complex' has contlnued to grow as a community hub wlth Increased activities for all ag8 groups. Our
youth clubs continue to be popular with the local families. A 'warm room, Tuesday morning Drop-ln for the elderly

encourage people to talk about their mental health. This was attended by adults and children.
Our investment in and updating of the church. hall and graveyard has again continued this year. An extension to
