Year 2021 is a transitional year for the church from moving out from COVID restrictions to face to face church service, resuming weekly church activities. We conducted our services in a hybrid manner as some of the congregation, particularly those who were high risk preferred to join the service online rather than in person. We gave thanks to God for allowing us to resume activities such as family day out, day out with our youth to the Oyster Bay beach. We all had a wonderful time enjoying the sunshine in the Summer and connecting with each other. The Family Day out at the Cwmdonkin Park provided opportunities to unite people from the youngest to the eldest in the church. We sang worship songs and played games, and enjoyed the delicious food prepared by different families.

We celebrated the mooncake (mid-autumn) festival, making custard and lotus paste filled mooncakes. In October 2021, we celebrated the 6[th] Anniversary since moving into Capel Gomer as our church premises. It was a time to give thanks to God for his provision, guidance, and faithfulness.

In December 2021, we had our Christmas celebration and invited friends and family to join our Christmas Day service. Our youth presented a sketch on the day, and it was very moving and well received. It was also a time to visit different families especially those who have not been attending the church for a while. We had our yearly year-end prayer meeting (conducted online), to count the Lord’s blessings in the past year and seek his guidance and courage in year 2022.

In January 2022, the church celebrated Chinese New Year. Our adults and children dressed up in red or in Chinese costumes. We also invited some of the brothers and sisters in Christ to join the celebration from oversea. In February 2022, we had our first church co-workers’ retreat. It was a time to reflect on what God has done in the church and a time to seek guidance and direction from God. In March and April 2022, we celebrated Mother’s Day and Easter.

During the summer, the church had a strawberry picking outing. Children and families attended the outing, and it was like a big family gathering, full of laughter and joy. In July, we had our Chinese class year-end ceremony. It was time to give thanks to God and acknowledge what the teachers had done for the children over the past year.

In August 2022, we had our first youth camp for the church. We had a variety of activities and programs for the youth. They had a great time, not just having fun, but to get to know Jesus Christ and deepened their faith in Him. We also had our

church summer outing at Sketty Park, families enjoyed food, singing, games and interaction with each other from young to old.

We can’t stop thanking God and give praises to Him for his provision, protection and guidance in the last 12 months.
