As we head towards the new Missional Partnerships we were asked to prepare our church profile.
This is a document we created towards the end of last year and it assesses our strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities.
We hope you find it realistic.

You may or may not be aware that the United Reformed Church makes available daily devotional reflections, written by all kinds of contributors.
You can now find them on our website here as they live at the right-hand end of our menu or…
I heard about this on Thought for the Day this morning…
Thy Kingdom Come is a global prayer movement, which invites Christians around the world to pray between Ascension and Pentecost for more people to come to know Jesus Christ. What started out as an invitation from the Archbishops’ of Canterbury and York in 2016 to the Church of England has grown into an international and ecumenical call to prayer.
The hope is that:
“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses …to the ends of the earth. When he had said this…he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight…Then they returned to Jerusalem … and were constantly devoting themselves to prayer…
When the day of Pentecost had come they were all together in one place… All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit… and that day about three thousand persons were added.” Acts 1,2
“In praying ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ we all commit to playing our part in the renewal of the nations and the transformation of communities.”
Archbishop Justin Welby
There are a wealth of resources here
This article is a follow-up from the financial breakdown that Val Singleton explained to us during our recent service.
First let me thank each and every one of you for the continued support that is given to Bank Top throughout the year.
It is heart warming to be among so many caring individuals that form the Bank Top family.
They say that time and tide waits for no man, and where the finances of Bank Top are concerned that is very true. The recent changes to the contribution Bank Top has to make to the synod together with the usual inflationary pressures that occur means we are running the Church at a loss. The offerings we receive from regular attenders is a wonderful gift however we would like to ask that you consider giving even when you are unable to attend meetings.
There are a number of ways in which this can be done;
Bank Top has long been a communal focal point for many groups and organisation, so anything you are able to give to help Bank Top raise the funding needed would be gratefully received.
Thanks and God Bless you All
