Summary
ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
The church activities
in the Year 2020 can effectively be divided
into two
phrases:
(i) Pre Covid-19 Pandemic era (ii) Covid-19 Pandemic era
during the year Pre Covid-19 Pandemic era
Between January
and March 2020, the church was functioning
as normal,
operating as a Pentecostal
and Missionary
Church
within the Luton
community,
as in the previous year. By March 2020, the Coronavirus
pandemic
had begun to rage across the country.
In the week commencing
22"' March, the church
building
was closed as per the Government
Covid-
19regulations
for all places ofworship.
All of the Church meetings
were
transferred
to online meetings.
Covid-19 Pandemic era
The church started to subscribe to the 'Go To Meet' platform to host its
various meetings.
There were initial challenges
in the recording
quality of
the program
being transmitted
and the online interaction
among members.
This was vastly improved
when the church sourced a different
internet
provider
and other ITequipment.
Bythe grace ofGod, the church was able to continue
with its core
ministries
online such as the Sunday service, mid-week
Bible studies,
Youth meetings,
family Forum and various Prayer programs.
Most ofthe existing members
were able to engage
with the church online
programs
and the church also had the privilege
ofpeople outside the
Luton area and beyond
logging on to its program.
The lockdown
and other restrictions
that came with Covid-19 impacted
many of our members
socially and economically.
During this period, the
church organised
welfare relief payments
to vulnerable
members
and
ensured
that all were regularly
contacted
and assistance
given where
needed.
Following
the Government
announcement
on 23" June, regarding
places
ofworship; the church
building
was re-opened
on 5~ July for Sunday
worship,
with restricted
numbers,
after a comprehensive
Risk Assessment
was conducted.
Systems and Health and Safety rules were implemented
in accordance
with the Government
Covid-19 regulations.
Hygiene
rules
were implemented
and appropriate
signage were installed
to ensure the
safe return ofthe public to the church
building
for Sunday worship.
Thereafter
till the end ofyear, the church conducted
the Sunday worship
service as a 'hybrid'
meeting
i.e. both physically
in the church
building
and
online. The majority of members
to continue to engage with the activities of
the church via the online platform.
All other services and meetings
continued
to be held only via the online platform.
During the course ofthe year —with the acquisition
ofdigitalisation
enabling
equipment,
the church has strengthened
its Social Media ministry
on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. The Sunday worship service is now
life-streamed
onto these platforms.
Other weekly and quarterly
programmes
continued
throughout
the year.
The weekly Conference
Prayer Line continues
to provide
spiritual
support
for members
who are free to call in. It is encouraging
that members
both
within
Luton and outside are benefittin
from this
ro ram.
