All Saints current Rectoi",
place for the ￿1] year 201
We have 78 members on our congregational roll and 70 on the Communicants Roll as defined
by Canon 41.2. It has been good to welcome new member8 during the year.
Highlights of the past year have included a Flower Festival ending with Songs of Praise based
on favourile hymns in June,. a number of e¢umenical events, with services held iogether with
New Kilpatrick (both at All Slints and at NKP church) at Advent, Christmos, and Hnly Week,
a unity lunch in January> plus welcoming a new Baptist minister in August.
The Rector has led a number of services al Abbotsford House care home during the year and
these seasonal visits have now beLome monthly. He has also made visits to other care homes
by request. He is also developing links with tile local Boys Brigade and continues to allempt to
access local schools.

We held a successful Prayer and Giving Day in May. This led to the production of a prayer
diary for the church, with suggestions for prayer for each day of the week. It also launched &
weekly prdyer group meeting before the weekly Wednesday Communion services.
It remains our hope to rclaunch our Visitors Oroup properly. It continued during the vacancy
and congregation members still st&y in touch where possible with those with whom they were
put in contael. The Re¢tor is always willing to visit peopl¢ in home, hospitdl, hospice or care
homes if made aware of a need and will happily take home Communion if requested. Such
pastoral work is understandably ittcreasingly regulated by safeguarding demands.
In addition lo the regular house sthdy groups we held study groups in the hall for Advent and
Lent in conneetion with St AT)drew's, Milngavi¢.
We h*ve maintained our pattern of regular Sunday services based around the 10.30am choral
Eucharist which is now livestrcamed on Facebook each week, though this has bcen cballenglng

because of poor connectivity to Wi Filmobile signal. However, we are looking at ways of
providing a better service, especially as we regularly have 50-60 people watching live or later.
We also have a 9am said Communion on tlie first and third Sundays of ¢￿h month with an
evening service from time to time for special occasions.
We have been pleased lo develop good links with Te8rfund this year, and have welcoined their
Church & Suppurter Engagement Te¢un Leadcr to speak in church and to tlie Wednesday lunch
grollp. We inade donations of loy8 at Chrsslmas io Glasgow Children's Holiday Scheme and
Aberlour.
We have becn trying for somc lime to social events for and fundraising, a team will
be set up to organise these in the coming year. We were glad to organise a Big Quiz Night
earlier in November, raising ￿ndS for Tearfund and other charities we support irL mission.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of All Saints Episcopal
Church
I report on the a¢counls of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2024, which are set out.
Im pages 4 10 6.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees arc responsibl¢ for the pr¢paration of the accounts in accordanc¢ wilh the
tenns of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts
(Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of
Regulation l O{l){d) of the Aecounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to
examine the accounts as required under section 44 {1) {c) of the Act and to slate whether
particular mattcrs have come lo my attention.
Ba818 of independent exaDJlner's report
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation I l of the Charities Accounts
(Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept
by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes
consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeks explanations from
the trnstces eoncerning any such rnatters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the
evidence that would be required in an audiL and consequently I do not express an audit opinion
on the view given by the accowils.
Independent examlner's statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has Come to my attention..
l. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirem¢nts:
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44{1)l (a) of the 2005 Act and
Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Rcgulations, and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with
Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
have not been meL or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order lo enable a properunderstanding
,.licd.
