The ream is a re&1 benefit to all worship services throughout the past year. In additiOlI. the shar¢d worship with Erskine and St
Serf s has added unity* variety of approach and enhancement to our Christian servs¢e.
The Yariely of services now on offer, we hope, go a long way to meeting the needs of all Ages and styles of worship, via
United Services, BEK Setvices, Chilled Church and evening worship in the form of T8i2¢, Café Church, Ignile and Sunday1a17
along with a midweek morning service.
In our meetings we review, discuss and share the congregation's comments and feedback in order to progress and plan for
future services.
We have a variety of inusical combinations ai every service with organ only. praise band. praise band and organ along Wlth
accordion and guitar accompaniments. Thanks, must be awarded to ihe organisation, time effort and enihusia$in afforded by
the musicgl ieam members. As a result, some of the congregational singing and praise has been iruly upliftin8.
There is a more extensive variety of sUPPOrt available for the ministers through team members. participation in parts or all of
the various services. Cover for holidays, illness, etc., by the ministry assistani and M¢rnbe￿ of the Worship Together Team
ensures a service of worship every Sunday.
The topics chosen for serytces encourage study> in depth, of the message in one book of th¢ Bible, uniting us again in another
aspect of our worship and service.
Fin8n¢l81 Review
The principal sources of income are weekly offerings. Gift Aid tax refunds, funthaising, church organisation aclivities and hall
lets. The Statement of Financial Acliyities and Balance Shttt for the church provide full d¢t8il$ of the financial position in the

The Statement of Financial Activities shows a def1Clt for the year of £5,127 (2024-. SUTplus of £123.888) as reIx)rted on page 8.
The signifieant surplus last year is primarily due to the transfer of union balance of £126.597. Total funds at the year end were

place to discharg¢ our obligations. This has b¢¢n wid¢rtaken with external support where necessary. Plans are being developed
