MONITORING RETURN, ACCOUNTS AND REPORTS
6 th April 2024 - 5 th April 2025
Yet another very difficult year for the church. The Sunday School and Thursday Children’s Meeting numbers continue to be low, as in the last reporting years, with up to 10 children attending. However giving the circumstances over the past four years, we are pleased with that number. As we said in our last reports, many established churches in the area, no longer have a Sunday School or even youth activities, so it is even more important that we carry on. The continued support of some of the parents has been an encouragement to us. As we said in our last report, the children who do attend, benefit from the low numbers with most doing well understanding the lessons and the ability to answer questions.
Having a small building means that we do not have the same pressures on us as other churches with a large building would have. Even with our difficulties, we still managed as in other years, to have some income, mostly from gifts.
Our income depends on gifts from supporters. There are no adult meetings and therefore no collections.
Direct Debits for the two main Utility Companies (Gas & Electricity) are now paid through the co-operative bank.
There is still an urgent need to have additional workers because, should our numbers increase, we can comply with our child safety regulations.
