The Kirk Session has b￿n activety reviewng worship and has gradually introduced new worship muslc to its services, uslng a small, but enthusiastic, praiso band. Prayer is paramount in our worshlp, and a time is set aside before and after Sunday services to allow for group or individual prayer.

While there are undoubted challen9es for the Churth of s￿nd at all levels. local and natlonal, we feel that we are w811 placed to further our work from our Str(￿g splrltual and financial base. Flnanclal Revlew Total receipts were around £4,700 higher than 2023, predominantty du8 to an Increase in both interest eamlngs and rental income. congr8gats.onal donations have been maintalned at a similar level to 2023. The Church continues to benefrt from members giving regularly by way of Gift ￿d, with a total tax recovery of around £12,500 in 2024. More imp)rtantly. the Chur¢h Gontinues to benefit from members who donate by way of stsnding order. thereby providing a steady stream of in￿rne. It is to be hoped that more members sign up to this, as w811 as existing members revwling the amount of their standing orders. Totsl payments increased by around £6,700. primarity due to hlgher malnt8nanc8 u)sts. The main item of expenditure was the toilet refurbishment programme which vrds carried out at a ￿$¢ of £8,750. Othe￿180, expenditure was broadly in line with 2023. Y￿th reduced GNing to Grow costs being balanced by Increased donaUons and gas & electricity (*arges. Th8 overall result saw reserves increase by around £11,(￿) in 2024, 18aving a y8ar end figur8 of around £112,000.
