We continued to provide a video link in our secondary hall and have had an increased uptake of our online live services provided for those shielding at home and for those seeking fellowship for other reasons. ## **BIBLE STUDY/HOUSE GROUPS** We continued to use a mixture of zoom and in-person house groups to meet in the week allowing us the flexibility to respond to localised Covid-19 outbreaks and any renewed restrictions of Covid-19. This has provided a degree of normality and stability and much needed close fellowship. 1 of 3 ## **INCOME** A copy of the Independent Financial Statement for the charity is supplied with this report Provided by: K.B.
