Summary
ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year
In January 2021, the government
imposed
another Covid-19 general
lockdown
and places ofworship
were among the list of business
and
venues that were allowed to remain open with the restrictions
and
enhanced
health
and safety measures
that were introduced
in 2020 still
in place.
The church continued
to host its main Sunday worship
service as a
'hybrid'
event whereby
the service from the church venue was streamed
live online on the various social media platforms.
Vulnerable
members
and those feeling
unwell were encouraged
to continue to engage with the
church
online programs.
The church's
other core ministries
such as the
mid-week
Bible studies,
Family Forum and various Prayer programs
continued
solely as online events.
The Government
Coronavirus
restrictions
were relaxed from 19'" July
2021 onwards.
However,
the church continued
to act with caution and
encouraged
its members
to observe the government
guidelines
of
'hands, face, space and fresh air'. On Sunday, 1"August the church was
delighted
to have its first post-lockdown
'Praise and Holy Communion
Service', followed
by a three-day
special prayer meeting
from
Wednesday
4'"to Friday 6'"August. These occasions were well attended
and a source ofjoy and comfort to the church members.
Bythe grace of God, the church
in 2021 saw an increase
in its
membership.
Many ofthe new members
are newly enrolled
post-
graduate
students
from the local university.
The church also had a
privilege of dedicating
a number
of babies that were born during the year
and conducted
a marriage
ceremony.
In response to a number
of request from our members
and visitors, a
new vernacular
monthly
worship
service was launched
in January 2021.
This has proved
popular
and often attended
by people who do not
normally
attend the church
regular Sunday service.
This year, the Church was unable to have its annual
week-end
retreat
and other social outing events due to the restrictions
wrought
by Covid-
19and other logistical problems. We hope and pray to have these events
in a more relaxed environment
in 2022.
FRANTS 2021 (Friends Relatives, Associates 8 Neighbours)
Annual
Thanksgiving
Service held
in the month of November.
This year' s
celebration
was extra special for two reasons:
Firstly,
it was the return to
a full Thanksgiving
celebration
after two years ofCovid-19 restrictions
and secondly, the church celebrated
her 10'" anniversary
to the glory of
God. The occasion was marked as a Three-day
event that started
with a
'Revival'
meeting
on Friday 12'" November,
followed
by a day of 'Lecture,
Workshop
and Evangelism'
on Saturday
13'"and concluded
with the
grand finale celebration
service
on Sunday
14'"November.
The theme
for the anniversary
weekend
celebration
was "Knowing God and Loving
Him Better". The occasion was well supported
and attended
by our
members,
as well as the many guests who were either with us physically
or remotely
logged online.
In summary,
the Year 2021 continues
to be a challenging
one. Most of
our
ro rams are still virtual. Sowe are still missin

We look forward with hope, by the grace ofGod, to a brighter 2022 where
all our activities will fully resume and our impact felt more in the
community.
We return
all the glory to the Lord.
