Worship in the church building ceased, except for a short period of time in between lockdowns 2 & 3 - autumn 2020, as did all group activities and the use of the building by outside hirers. The church re-opened to recommence the 10am ‘Reflections’ Sunday services from Sunday 2nd May 2021. Use was made of various social media sites, the internet and platforms like Zoom to present virtual Acts of Worship, Sunday Youth Activities (Participate & Trailblazers), TLC – a new monthly presentation for younger children, Mens’ Breakfast meeting, activities for Boys Brigade The church’s extensive pastoral system was particularly of benefit during the pandemic to keep in touch with people associated with the church but unfortunately the church’s coffee shop (a means of outreach) had to close during the pandemic. Knitted Christmas angels were distributed to a number of residential homes during December in the 2020 Christmas period. Members of the church through Churches Together in Lichfield continue to be involved in helping at a foodbank in the city The Church Council on 8th February 2021 agreed to publicly recognise a Climate and Environmental Emergency and to commit the whole church to seek change. Members of the church community were asked to consider what they can do as individuals to make changes for the benefit of the environment. The full statement can be seen on the church website. An online Circuit Service was held on Sunday 9[th] May 2021, focussing on Climate Change. It was led by the LMC Church Eco Team and involved the younger people in the church and circuit. . **TAR** March **2012** 5 Section E Financial review Funds are retained to meet the annual assessment costs and premises costs along with employrnent costs.

I have not obtained independent verification of all investments with the Trustees for Methodist Church Purposes or held in other trusts, bank balances and funds at the Central Finance Board of the Methodist Church which are individually in excess of £10,000 (ten thousand pounds) at the balance sheet date.
