Burpham Church provKled a 10am streamed Sunday service that was accessed digitally via YouTube and a 10am communion service on Thursday momings using Zoom. We ran 10am prayer meetings via Zoom, kids, clubs, 'among us" and Blaze. PCC meets.ngs and house groups all on Zoom. We ran the February half tenn holiday dub on Zoc*m.

Onsite Messy Church ran all year with carefully str￿lured activities and advance booking to maintain social distancing" 819 families attended each seryice. Midweek Communion was reopened onsite on the 16th June. Once restrictions were lifted on children's work, we were ready to reopen all our services. but rather than restart all our kye-covid servI￿s. we reflected hard on what was the right provision for this time. After a few experimental trials V￿ decided to hold 2 services weekly in the Church of the Holy Sw"rit'. 9.15am Communion and 10.45arn Conternporary Worship. However, we recognised that simplifying things was importanl and moved our monthty Messy Church service to Sunday aftemoon, not ruming the 10.45am Servi￿ on this day. We decided not to reopen our 8am Communion service at St Luke's Church. In May the PCC decided to invest in equipment to enable live-streaming of church services from Church of the Holy Spirit. It took some time to buikl the ne￿$sary equipment due to supply difficulties but on 12th December we live-streamed our Carol Service. It h&J over 130 views online and was an encouragement that thi5 online worship is valuable.
