and mission:
Night shelter ministry
during the
winter months took a different shape
due to the impact ofthe pandemic.
The aim of providing
hospitality
remained
the same. However,
this year
it was achieved through
Project Hotel.|| |||||||In this way this partnership
ministry| |||||||with local churches,
mosque
and| |||||||synagogues,
overseen
by Together
in| |||||||Barnet, was yet again successful.
Food,| |||||||a warm room and friendship
was| |||||||provided for guests.
As usual many
in| |||||||the church welcomed
and appreciated| |||||||the opportunity
to express Jesus' love| |||||||in a practical way.| |||||||Samaritan

that we were| |---|---|---|---|---| ||||talking about.
Actually,
it is noteworthy
that|| ||||the level ofvolunteering
for the various|| ||||ministries
had dropped.
There was a sense of|| ||||folks just feeling physically
and emotionally|| ||||tired and weary, recoiling from the oppressive|| ||||nature ofthe lockdowns
and the many deaths|| ||||of loved ones being reported
nationally.
There|| ||||was an urgent need for a ministry of|| ||||encouragement.
Naturally
the hope was that|| ||||sooner rather than late, with prayer and other|| ||||ministry,
the number ofvolunteers
would|| ||||increase again and worshippers
will experience|| ||||a 'lightness
in their spirit'.|| ||||The start ofthe year saw our pastor Rupert|| ||||recovering
from a long period ofcovid illness.|| ||||During the period of his illness, the Leadership|| ||||Team brilliantly
took on his various|| ||||responsibilities
as well as the oversight of|| ||||church
life and ministry.
Talking about our|| ||||pastor, as Chairman
of FIN he was heavily|| ||||involved
in the consultation
process and|| ||||resulting
redundancies
as FIN sought to|| ||||restructure
itself that it might at least break-|| ||||even as a charity.
That was a particularly|| ||||difficult time for him.|| ||||The last year has been demanding
in many|| ||||ways.
Understandably
the atmosphere
of|| ||||church
life and worship
had changed
and with|| ||||low attendance
numbers
in-person,
it was|| ||||necessary to nurture
and encourage
a more|| ||||vibrant
and enthusiastic
community.
It was|| ||||quite an uphill struggle to encourage|| ||||worshippers
to move form online to physically|| ||||meeting
in the building for worship.
In the|| ||||midst of all ofthis, it was heart-warming
to see|| ||||God at work as his Spirit moved among
us|| ||||touching
our hearts and stirring
us up to go|| ||||deeper
in our love for God and each other,|| ||||irrespective
ofthe number
present.
And God|| ||||in his kindness
continued to bless the|| ||||community
by bringing
in new worshippers|of| ||||different
nationalities.|| |Additional|information|(optional)||| |You ma|choose to include further statements||where relevant about:|| ## |Financial
