There have been times of closure enforced by the Government restrictions, and times of closure when the God is able Ministries considered it was necessary for the health and safety of our fellowship. Each week there has been a recorded service available on the church website and online services, and a DVD recording has been made available to those who do not have access to the internet. Any services that have been held in church have been subject to all the latest guidance on the necessary health and safety precautions. The church remained open for one session each week for private prayer, help for elderly and vulnerable people in the community to get hot meal and collect their medication from the Pharmacist. During the year we reviewed our services and held a consultation day, the outcome was a change in service format that came into place in October – the new format will be reviewed in March 2022. Youth and Children The usual weekly activities for youth and children moved to an online provision using creative solutions to maintain contact, whilst meeting all safeguarding requirements whilst the church was closed and returned to in person meetings as soon as was possible. It was not possible to hold any residential trips, but an in person, reduced size, holiday club was run in the building during August. Schools work has been restricted for the whole of this year due to the Pandemic, however we have provided some pre-recorded Collective Worship sessions. A review of the youth and children’s work was completed during the year and the new provisions put into place at the start of the autumn term including a new Youth Café on Tuesdays and new Sunday morning groups. ## Pastoral Care Our pastoral care team have continued to take care of those members of the fellowship who are unwell or in need. This work has been especially important whilst many of our fellowship are experiencing such isolation. The work continues to be led by the Pastoral care co-ordinators and supported by our volunteers. ## Mission and Outreach The mission committee have led the support for many organisations throughout the year both financially and prayerfully and by raising awareness. We have also run an online Alpha course during the period when the building was closed. Volunteers We would like to thank all the many volunteers who work so hard to make our church the lively community it is, and without whom the work would not take place.
