Trustees, Annual Report for the year ended 31st December 2024 The Trustees present the Annual Report and statements of Receipts and Payments and Assets and Liabilities for Derryvullen North Parish Church for the year ended 31st December 2024 Objectives and Activities Derryvullen North Parish Church operates with the charitable purpose of advancing religion. The core mission of Derryvullen North Parish Church focuses on supporting the advancement of the Christian faith by fosterin& through our parish ministry, the complete mission of the Church-pastoral care, evangelistic witnes5, social action, and ecumenical partnership. Maintaining openness to and active engagement with the wider community, while providing assistance to those requiring support, represents the cornerstone of our practical Christian ministry. Our Parish aims to promote the mission of Christ's Church through worship, senlCe. and fellowship. These goals are accomplished through our mission and pastoral work. Public worship and the spiritual nurture of our members constitute the fundamental activities of our Church. The achievement of our mission depends significantly on the generous contributions-both personal and material of many volunteer parishioners. Their involvement includes worship preparation and participation, Select Vestry serrfice and group activities, premises and fabric upkeep, plus numerous pastoral and social initiatives. These contributions are deeply valued, and we encourage all congregation members to participate, with many actively involved. Through our commitment to advancing the Christian faith, Derrywullen North Parish Church maintains custody of property, records, materials and artefacts of considerable cultural and religious heritage importance, the stewardship of which is managed by the select vestry of Derryvullen North Parish Church. Achievements, Performance & Public Benefit The Parish has thoroughly considered the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland's public benefit guidance to ensure our annual activities advance our Parish objective5 while delivering meaningful public benefit. Derryvullen North Parish Church accomplishes its mission through regular Sunday worship encompassing Holy Communion, Morning Prayer (both traditional and contemporary styles), and Services of the Word. The Incumbent leads these services with assistance from a Parish Reader and a team of pari5hioner5 who 5UPPOrt with scripture
readings and occasional intercessions. A committed and talented group enhances our worship space through weekly sanctuary decoration, enriching our time of corporate worship. The Parish provides comprehensive pastoral care and support to all associated with the Parish who seek such ministry. This encompasses continuous pastoral care plus speciali5ed crisis support and emergency pastoral intervention. The Incumbent 15 SUPPOrted in this work by a Diocesan Pastoral Assistant. Pastoral Care is delivered through home visits, hospital and care facility visits, and the provision of Holy Communion to those who are ill. elderly, or housebound. The Parish deliver5 liturgical and pastoral ministry through the Occasional Offices-baptism, confirmation. marriage, ministry to the sick, and burial sep4ices. Our flourishing Sunday School currently maintains 45 children on the roll. Beyond Sunday School participation, young people make distinctive contributions to services throughout the year. We also celebrate an annual Children's Day Service and observe both Mothering Sunday and Fathers, Day. Sunday School members serve monthly as Junior Ministers, assisting in worship leadership. This develops their confidence and emphasises their integral role within the church community. A vital aspect of Sunday School ministry involves or8anising gift collections for our local Food Bank. The Parish celebrates the principal festivals of the Church Year including: Harrfest, Christmas, Easter and Remembrance Day. Special highlights include our Harvest Thanksgiving with its magnificent decorations and Sunday evening Harvest Supper. The Christm35 Midnight Holy Communion Service remains exceptionally popular and cherished. The Parish supports various attive groups: Boys, Brigade, Craft Group, Bowling Club, Choir, Walking Group, Catering Group and, in partnership with Castle Archdale parish, the Mothers. Union and Women's Group. These provide diverse social opportunities and avenues for ministry and ser4ice throughout the year. One Mothers, Union office holder has a particular ministry supporting housebound members. Our monthly Shoppers, Service continues at the parish centre, creating opportunities for fellowship and community conversation. The Parish engages with the broader community through our Rector's membership on the Board of Governors of the local Irvinestown Primary School, where he also regularly conducts school assemblies. Going Concern

Accordingly, the financial statements for year-end 2024 may be approved on a going concern basis.
