We streamed our services on YouTube, Facebook and on Zoom. We conducted our main Sunday worship services every week, on both YouTube and Facebook. We conducted our prayer meetings weekly on YouTube. We held our Word Empowerment (Bible Study) program weekly on Thursdays on Zoorn. We also held regular family (the church) socials online after Sunday online worship service on Zoom. This was wonderful as it gave an opportunity for those who were being impacted by the isolation of lockdown. to see faces, have conversation and feel supported. It was also a great opportunity for the Pastors to encourage the congregation and also pray for any needs. We gained new members during this period and were able to navigate our in-person processes to online, we taught classes on how to stand as a new believer, taught on who jesus is and how to read the bible and to offer support. Men's Ministry- WMBM (Where the male becomes a man) Our men's ministry also met within the guidelines, for regular meals out and activities such as bowling. This was a great way to maintain the unity ofGod and the love of people through our vision. Women's Ministry- Rubies When lockdown restrictions eased, we began prayer in the park" hosted by our women's ministry department, Rubies. This was held monthly and was a great opportunity for us to pray in the parL meet one another and have fellowship. On 29th October 2022, Rubies organised an afternoon tea afternoon social for all to attend, this was a huge success as it allowed us to reconnert with our members and the family and friends. The Descendants- Youth Ministry We hosted fortnightly online zoom socials, which were very popular, this included games. bringyour meal online, encouragement and prayer. Worship Team Our worship team continued to meet regularly online via Zoom, to pray and encourage one another. Family Day Out In August 2022 a Faith Tabernacle family day trip was organised to Margate. This was hugely successful and gave us the opportunity to meet families and friends of our congregation. We travelled by coach and spent the whole day together, with food, fellowship, and games. This was a great opportunity for unbelievers to see the love of God at work. Praise Night On 28th October 2022, we held a community praise night in-person, this was an opportunityto reconnectwith the communityand our congregation. It was a great success as people began to emerge from the restrictions of the lockdown. Word Empowerment (Bible Study) Held weekly online on Zoom, this was not restricted to Faith Tabernacle and gave a great opportunity for questions to be answered and faith in God restored. Ministry Team We had a leadership weekend, we took our ministers and senior leaders for a training weekend, where we trained and revisited the vision of Faith Tabernacle, instilling the importance of carrying out our vision. The weekend was our second one and was hugely successful, it allowed for our Senior Pastor and Leaders to get to know our Ministers, the purpose of holding the position as a minister was clearly understood and this, we Found raised moral, drive and passion for the vision and God's people. This was held Ilth -13th August 2022 We also presented 3 new Ministers for training two to be appointed Minister and one to be appointed as an Elder. They will undergo a series of training before being put forniard to be ordained as Minister and Elder. This training commenced August 2022. We believe in advancing the faith of lesus Christ and this also will see the vision of Faith Tabernacle reach the community with the support and servitude ofour Ministers. In-Person Worship service We held an in-person Sundayworship service, on Sunday 15th May 2022. following having worship online since March 2020. This was a great opportunity to connect and meet new members who have joined Faith Tabernacle whilst we were online. Baptism We conducted two baptisn]s during this period, which was awesome as we could see despite the pandemic and despite us being online with our worship services, the work ofministrywas very much alive in Faith Tabernacle and the community. This was initially difficult to navigate as we needed to know the restriction rules, but we are grateful this was able to happen and we witnessed people making the decision in the moment who hadn't planned on getting baptised, make the decision to get baptised. ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## |**Notes**
