On Sunday mornings we have preached through the following series.. 2 Corinthians. Philemon, Habakkuk, James, Haggai and 1 Peter. We continued monthly afternoon studies looking at"A survey of church history. which due to restnctions have had to be a mix of in person and online. For the first half of the year we relied on pre-recorded songs and sang in the car park. Since then we have enjoyed live music in the chapel. In May, we relaunched our Sunday children's ministry in the chapel. Teaching has been based around the "Go teach" books looking at the gospels, Noah, Abraham and Moses. At the start of the year, mid-week Bible studies continued either meeting together or separately at home. From April to June we held the studies in the form of a 'Mid-week service, and increased the frequency from fortnightly to weekly. From June we have continued to meet weekly for Bible study (Wednesday evening and repeated now on Thursday morning). In 2021, we have studied Matthew's gospel, John's letters, Jude and Hebrews. In addition to our regular events, we watched the"American Gospel- Christ crucified" teaching documentary in March, tuned in to watch Paul Mallard preaching from Philippians at the Keswick Convention in July, and held an evening with Igal Vender (IMJP missionary in Tel Aviv) in October. Until July, we continued the monthly Gospel Services in the form of a short evangelistic video which has been aired on YouTube and Facebook. Since then we've held Sunday afternoon Gospel services at the village school and we have also branched out to Charlesworth Park, Café Jericho (Gamesley) and Norfolk Square {Glossop). This year we have continued delivery of our own leaflets advertising the gospel service and with a summary of a previous gospel service message. We deliver beeen 500 and 1250 leaflets Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity's work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits lo society as a whole.

Apart from a handful of weeks when we have been allowed in the school, we have continued to send Lunchtime Bible Club material to all the children at Charlesworth School via e-mail each week. We have also been able to give a copy of"The mystery of the empty tomb" and 'The King and the Shepherd Boy. books to all the children at the school at Easter and Christmas respectively. In July, we started monthly outreach in Norfolk Square (Glossop}. We hand out tracts and New Testaments and try to engage people in Christ-focussed conversation. The number of famiing shows this year was greatly depleted but praise God, some from the fellowship were able to reach out with Farming Christian Link at the Royal Lancs, Penistone and Honley shows. We have had to adapt our church prayer life this year due to restrictions. This has involved praying at home or outside the chapel. From June, our weekly Tuesday morning meetings were back to normal, although these have now been moved to Thursday. To increase Bible study and prayer, we have replad the fortnightly Wednesday evening prayer meetings with Bible studies and in June we launched weekly Sunday prayer and praise evenings. We held 3 weeks of prayer this year in January, May and September.
