Section D Achievements and erformance p

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Because of COVID-19 we have to changed our worship meeting from church to online meetings, also bible study group was going to online. We did more pastoral care for our elderly members during the pandemic. We established 3 online classes for learning Chinese in August with 32 pupils. On July, about 130 people came to our church from Hong Kong and we helped them to settle down.

Our worship meeting was back in church after August with more than 130 people attending, which was more than double when compared to last year.

We used to have 2 groups of Sunday School which was taught with English and Mandarin Chinese. But after August we opened 2 more groups taught with Cantonese due to lots of children coming from Hong Kong.
