## Cleckheaton Methodist Church ## - Annual Report: September 2020 August 2021 This Church year continued to be affected by the covid pandemic and periods of lockdown. As we were able, the Church reopened for Sunday morning services in line with government and Methodist Church guidelines. Worship services were streamed (and also available after online after streaming) so that people isolating at home or unable to attend for other reasons were still able to partake. This has resulted in some additional people being able to be involved in worship and therefore enabled us to offer a wider service to the community both locally and overseas, we have regular attenders online from South Africa. Printed services and notice sheets were also delivered for those who could not attend and sent by email where possible. Members of the local congregation became more involved in leading worship and worked together well to provide this support. The Church is blessed with some good singers who sang as individuals to provide music for the service in a covid secure way. Towards the end of the year and during warmer weather, the church car park was used to provide a space to serve coffee/tea after the morning service, this allowed for the sharing of fellowship and support in a safe way. Pastoral support continued through the year with phone calls and socially distanced visiting where appropriate. Baptisms and funerals continued to take place. Work with Acts 435 and Foodbank continued with an increasing demand on their services. The families from Junior Church met together in the manse garden to enable that connection to be maintained. During the year some services of worship (e.g. Good Friday) and meetings were held online so that people continued to stay connected and could be involved in developing the vision of the Church. With a changeover of minister at the end of the year and good, covid safe measures were put in place to say farewell to the previous minister and his family and to ensure the new minister and her husband were warmly welcomed.
