volunteers|Para 1.38|**The development of the church's ministry**
**relies heavily on the assistance of**
**volunteers, especially in the Cantonese**
**worship part. Due to the large number of**| **immigrants from Hong Kong, 95% of the church's Cantonese worship services have participated in the church in the past two years. They have provided musical support for our worship, so that the music of the worship can be richer. In addition, it also triggered the rapid expansion of the Sunday school. The efforts of the volunteers have made this ministry effectively managed, which is really indispensable. Now the three Sunday school classes have good results, allowing the children to get good Bible learning.** Other ## **Achievements and Performance** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the main

**have moved to the UK, our church, after**
**starting separate Cantonese and**

**70 to between 150–200 people now**

**Hongkongers settling in the UK.**
**In terms of Bible study groups, we**
**currently have three different groups: two**

**come from various UK cities, including**
**Liverpool, Southampton, Kent, and**
