Christian faith in accordance with the
bible in such ways and in such parts of
the United Kingdom or the world as the
Trustees from time to time may think fit.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to

for
emotional/psychosocial development of
members of the ministry and the local
Communities in which we worship.
Over the period of the pandemic, we
adjusted our services which were moved
to zoom to maintain social distancing and
comply with the restrictions in place. Face
to face services have been re-started on
Sundays.
However, we have continued to retain
the online services during the week.| |Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit|~~Para 1.18~~|We are aware of the guidance on public
benefit and have taken this into account
when making
on
church
decisions programs. Special
community- oriented programs such as
Our International Day, the Ladies
Retreat which attracted women from a
variety of backgrounds, the night of
prayer and reflection which
happens once a month have been well
received by families needing a reflective
prayer time from their busy schedules
over the month, were all done online from
the time restrictions were introduced as
we continued to provide avenues to
engage the public to provide support as
needed.| Many in our community have continued to engage with our Sunday services which start later in the afternoon in London as it affords them time to rest in the morning after their busy schedules during the week and to still be part of the evening church service. We are pleased to report on the growing women’s fellowship activities, Men’s fellowship in Manchester, the teenage choir and youth retreat which is developing further. Our December 2021 Levites Gospel Conference which featured songs, gospel messages and seminars on spiritual empowerment was well received by the public as a way engaging the community in the things of God and supporting people in their spiritual journey. ## **Additional information (optional)** |**ditional information (optional)**|**ditional information (optional)**|**ditional information (optional)**| |---|---|---| |Youmay choose toincludefurtherstatementswhererelevant about:

achievements of the
charity, identifying the
difference the charity’s
work has made to the
circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any
wider benefits to society
as a whole.|Para 1.20|This year has been a year of great
achievements but also challenging
due to the pandemic and personal
loss in our church community.
We lost our
senior
pastor
(Pastor
Friday Adejo on 02/09/2021) after a brief
period
of illness.
Despite
this,
God has remained
faithful to his course in our hands.
We have had several new
visits,
with
the
online
services
continuing to prove very popular
as people from various countries
can join.
As a charity, our international service that
celebrates
the
diversity
of
our
community
and
the
membership
has
continued
to
attract
new
visitors;
the
event
was
hugely
successful.
Activities involved prayers, Worship/
praise through songs, recitations and
poetry from a very diverse milieu of social
geographyiscal|| |---|---|---|---|---| |songs, recitations, and poetry|from| |---|---| |a v e r y d i v e r s e milieu|of social,| |Geographical and ethnic|| |backgrounds. The event created a|| |rich
atmosphere
for|spiritual,| |cultural and social exchange|which| |all that attended enjoyed.|| As the pandemic eased and we became accustomed to the new normal, our key focus has been to provide emotional, spiritual, psychological and practical support to our members and the wider public as we continued to grapple with the challenges brought about by the pandemic. Our online services have been a huge success attracting people from all works of life from various parts of the world who reported that they felt spiritually, emotionally and psychologically empowered through the ministration of the word as well the practical support given in some cases. Our services and outreaches incorporate bible teaching sessions, songs/ worship sessions and corporate prayer sessions. Participants have continued to be both socially, emotionally empowered and spiritually energized. Like in previous years (pre- pandemic), the church held a community barbecue in first week of August 2021. We continued to create an opportunity for dialogue, refreshment and understanding with people from the local community through our online services and our face-to-face Sunday services. We continue to be financially, spiritually supportive of members in need including where there has been bereavement or unemployement. ## **Additional information (optional)** ## You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements
