This is when we look back on the past year, and it is also an official requirement to approve the accounts and reports on our activities.

We are entirely self-funded and we have cut back our expenses as much as possible; but we still need a regular income.
We're grateful to everyone who continues to support the church and its work, which goes beyond weekly services.
