## **Chairman’s Report**
## **September 2020- August 2021**
As a church we want to share the good news of Jesus with our local community and help grow people in the faith. This year we have had to think of creative ways of how to do this due to the unique challenges we have all faced due to COVID, lockdowns (Nov 20 and Jan – March 21) and various restrictions. This year we have been particularly encouraged as we have looked at the life of Joseph and seen how God in his sovereignty uses bad things to accomplish his good plan. During the year we have enjoyed learning more from books of the bible specifically, Mark, Genesis, Acts and the Psalms
During the year our Sunday meetings have evolved and changed to comply with the government guidelines. In September 2020 we started regathering on a Sunday by running 2 all age services and then providing a sermon on the same passage for people to watch at home. We also started livestreaming our services to YouTube. During the 2[nd] Lockdown in November, we livestreamed services from the church centre into people’s homes and tried to make the most of this live technology. In the 3[rd] Lockdown when churches were allowed to, we ran a 10am Family service with crafts on tables, followed (after cleaning everything) by an adult 11:15am service. Earlier in the 3[rd] lockdown before we ran the family service, we produced weekly Trinity Kids@Home videos including puppets and a speaking chair.
At Easter we all enjoyed gathering in the car park for our first outdoor service. It was a great encouragement to see everyone laughing, listening and singing together, for the first time in a very long time. We are very grateful to God that the weather was always good enough for us to hold these monthly outdoor services.
COVID restrictions meant that we were unable to do many of our most popular community events, but as a church we have creatively tried to spread the good news of Jesus. At Christmas we produced “Christmas Hope in the Darkness” a booklet with 4 peoples stories of how Jesus brings them hope in the darkness. We distributed these to thousands of local residents and the accompanying videos were watched by hundreds of people.
We also ran various events where people could come along as ‘bubbles’ and find out more about Jesus and our church including our Christmas Walkabout Trail and our Easter egg hunt in the Park.
To try and respond to the significant pressures caused by the Lockdowns we ran groups online or in person where the restrictions allowed. Our Crossroads addiction ministry offered important support to people in our community. We also started a weekly mental health support group where we looked at a psalm each week. During the year we also started several mini groups which met weekly to discuss a book about how we can grow as a church in loving and supporting one another.
At the end of August 2021 our membership totalled 33.
