new initlatives and contscts.
Our prfmary mean5 of our charitable purpose Is through public worshlp serthces. We meet In
two venues: The Town Hall on a Sunday, and Foundry House on a Wednesday nlght. On
again in the year 2023 ￿￿ saw numbers InThse. We saw not only some people commtt to
the Christian reli9ion and find emotional and spirl￿al heallng. but y￿ also welcomed In other
ristians who were seeking a new spiritual home.

Our children's V￿rk continues to thrive in the new premise5 we secured back In 2022. A
number of children have also expressed commitment to the Christlan faith, and we have seen
them engage in thrislian foreign missions. We have had guest speakers from Chrisban
mltyons organisations in to tell them about the worK whith has created a k￿n interest. The
Youth that meet every other Friday night In Foundry House has also continued to do well, with
those transltioning into l* year in sthool settling in very quickly. We have sorne yOLrth who
