For those cautious or unable to attend but able to access the online facility of Zoom, the weekly service was transmitted. A few other activities also re-commenced, including, in October, the Tuesday morning and, in September the Wednesday afternoon fellowship groups. The Twydall centre of Medway Foodbank did not reopen during the year but the Foodbank continued to be operate centrally, from its base in Strood. It was anticipated that the Twydall Centre and the others in Medway would reopen as from 5[th] April 2022. Communication with folk on the church emailing list was maintained, weekly, by an appropriate message usually with links to a recorded worship song or two and occasionally other appropriate items or news. In April 2022, due to the pandemic, the church was asked to conduct a graveside committal service for a member of the Wednesday Fellowship. In February 2022 the church hosted a thanksgiving service for a former member who had passed away after moving to Reading and to conduct a thanksgiving service and graveside committal for another member. One hundred and fifty copies of a gospel newspaper ‘Good News’ were given to residents or were delivered most months of the year to homes on the Twydall estate and conversations held with a few recipients. Some leaders and church members contacted bereaved, sick and other lonely people, offering pastoral and practical care and support as and when appropriate. Financial and/or practical support was given during the year to: Page 4 - A number of missionaries and missionary organisations seeking to spread the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ in the UK or overseas. - UK charities supplying aid to those in need as a result of disasters and other emergencies. - UK charities and indigenous non-governmental organisations established or conducted for the purposes of helping people affected by financial hardship, lack of educational opportunities and/or sickness or vulnerable to poor health.
