Some of the activlues undertaken durlng the year are detailed below under revlew of the year. Revlew of 2iYIO We cannot unde$tImate the lrnpart of Covd-19 on us all. thrDu8hout 2020 and its contlnuln8 Impact in months and years to come. The world has truly been brou8ht to its knees as a Ult of the pandemlc: milllons of Ilves lost worldwide, sufferln& pain, 8rief, i501atSon have all been marks of this last year: a year like no other, a wholly unprecedented experience for all of us. Wlthin our own parish, we have seen the lrnpact not only on our own Ilves. but upon familles, the elderly, the youn& the frail. In March 2020'Harwkh Helps, was set up: a town -wlde inltlatfve sprln8in8 up out of conversatlons we had as a parish wlth our frlends In other churches In the town. whlle other key community leaders were also thlnklng along the same lines. So we all came tO8ether. as a result of whkh many people In our t(Mn We helped through all kinds of ways: shopplng, food deliveries for struggling familles, lunches provided for the elderty, pastoral phone Calls and doorstep visits made. It has proved to be a Sat example of what can be achieved when we come together. pooling our resources and expertise with the purpose of helplng those in need. For our own thurch congregations. we quickly set up a pastoral phone call system. partlcularly for the most ¥ulnerdble and those Ilvlng alone. People were also glven practlcal help when needed. Wlth the closure of Our churche5, worshlp and prayer resour were provided for us all to pray and worship at home. followed by the provi55on of online worshlp. once we had mastered the baslc skiiis to enable thls to happen. Not everyone has been able to attess onllne worship but many other5 who were prevlously not connected to any of our churches have Joined in and so provldlng Ilve and recorded broadcasts online is here tQ Stsv. As well as the provlsion of worshlp and prayer resources. the weekly'At Home, Newsletter has meant that we could keep in touch with each other and as more of us be8an to master , have been able to hold some meetings and maintain some of our midweek worshlp. All of the 8uldelines and procedures issued bv the Govemment and the Churth of England on church openln& risk assessments, deanin& 50cial dlstanonL etc have been strirtly adhered to
and we have de our utrnost to ensure that anyone coming into our churches for Prfvate prayer or for Sunday wotship have been kept safe. We could never have prevtously contemplated that churches w(yJld be closed at such key times as Easter and Christmas and yet In these unprecedented times the safety and well being of all was paramount. The Mlnlstry Team contlnued to offer mlnistry and pastoral support during these times. Our funeral mlnistry and to the bereaved sadly grew in the first few months of the year and many families whose loNtd ones had died of the virus were supported. In add5tion. our minlstry to Don Thomson House was able to continue. (r the course of the year we contlnued to pray for Rev Sam Wlnney who vfts on long-term sickness from February and there were slgnificant changes In parish management followlng Rev Margaret Shav/s canor dia051$ in August and her slck leave from the beglnnlng of October. A hu8e thank you to our Curate, Rev Lfjsselle aarke4doisley. who with help from the churchwardens, John Wallace and John Shaw and deanery colleagues wa5 able to sustaln worshlp and ministry throu8h the last few months of the year.
