Church members and other members of the local community were kept in contact through weekly e-mails and printed notices. Fellowship and friendship for all ages was also maintained through Zoom meetings. Offerings were made by standing order and cheque rather than traditional weekly collections at church services. The Church is in partnership with St Mary’s Church, East Barnet in the East Barnet Anglican Methodist Partnership (EBAMP). Shared activities with St Mary’s and other churches and faith groups include Lent Groups, the annual Remembrance Sunday service and service to launch the annual Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.
