We also meet in person for our Tuesday Coffee Momings and our children's Thursday Club. Our Tuesday evening Bible studies and our Saturday moming prayer meetings were held online throughout the year. We also have had to deal with a lot of serious illness amongst our members. In sprte of this ￿ have exporiencad a lot of oncouragwn•nt and enjoy good relab'onships among us. A Famity Servlce was held each Sunday in 2022. A joint Serv￿ with Acton Baplist Church, and the House of Transformation, was held in January. A further joint servi( With Acton Baptist Church took place in October. (These joinl services Iwk place at Acton Baptist Church's premises.) Outside speakers We￿ able to preach in person at our Family Services. Our children's Sunday Bible Club, held during the Family Service. was held only a few times during the year. During 2022, our commemoration of the Lord's Death In the Breaklng of Bread was held every Sunday at Berymead Hall. Sadly. On￿ again, there Vépre no baptisms during the year.
