Para 1.17 and 1.19	Meetings Bible Studies Worshiping House groups Youth groups Personal development Groups Community action Providing community facilities The church is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at the church and become part of the community in Hadfield. Our services and worship try to

put our faith into practice through music, prayer, scripture reading and communion. The core of our programme is our Sunday morning services where we worship pray and have teaching from scripture. The number of attendees continues to increase and during the year averaged around 65-70 people, and includes babies, young children, teenagers, young adults, and middle aged and elderly people. People are welcome to stay after the services for refreshment and fellowship and free snacks are often provided. A Sunday School / youth training programme operates during the main Sunday services in order to provide ageappropriate content to the younger members of the church. A coffee morning is held every Tuesday morning where people are welcome to meet, chat, pray and generally support and encourage each other. Again all age ranges are represented. We offer a midweek meeting on Tuesday evenings where people can meet in small informal groups to discuss scripture and its implications for daily living. About 15 people attend these meetings. Breakfast café – On alternate Saturday mornings a café operates to provide a place for individuals and families to meet and enjoy a social time over a range of breakfast times. This is open to all members of the community. There is no charge made for this meal. Community meals – On a number of occasions throughout the year we hold a community meal event, open to all to come and partake in a hot, multi-course evening meal at no cost to the attendees, and enjoy a social time together. Hadfield Coming Together (Previously “Bellies not Bins”) is hosted at the church, staffed by volunteers with the aim of ensuring that the surplus food from local businesses is distributed to anybody within our community that would like to receive it. There is no charge for the food, although a donation of just £1 is encouraged. A monthly Over 60’s meal is prepared and served to those that want to meet together

		and share each others company and receive a multi-course hot meal. During school holidays packed lunches were prepared and distributed to local children. We regularly work together with other churches in the area offering children’s holiday clubs, Christmas parties etc. DUE TO THE COVID RESTRICTIONS IN PLACE DURING THIS YEAR MANY OF THE USUAL ACTIVITIES WERE RUN IN A DIFFERENT WAY TO USUAL. THE SUNDAY SERVICES WERE STREAMED ONLINE BY A LIMITED NUMBER OR WERE MADE UP OF PRE-RECORDED MATERIAL. THE MEALS WERE MADE TAKEAWAY RATHER THAN EAT AT THE CHURCH CENTRE.
