through
weekly Sunday worship,| |||||weekday
Small Groups for Bible study, worship,
prayer| |||||and fellowship.
We have had new members
join the| |||||church and some new Christians.
The services and other| |||||groups have been online this year, as have prayer| |||||meetings.| |||||We have tried to make sure that the services always| |||||welcome children
and have a children's
slot in the main| |||||services.| |||||Our Christmas
Day service was online this year, and we| |||||sadly were unable to welcome diners for Christmas
lunch| |||||after the service because ofthe pandemic.
We did,| |||||however,
have a very well attended
outdoor carol service| |||||in the car park next to the church.| |||||Outreach| |||||Although
church members
have been involved
in| |||||outreach
individually,
the only organised
outreach
has| |||||been the online Alpha which we began
in February
and| |||||which has continued
since.
It has been well attended| |||||and enjoyed
by all participants.| |||||Children
and Youth Work| |||||We have been unable to continue
our outreach
youth| |||||work during the pandemic
and without a specified worker,| |||||we are aware ofa big gap in this area.
It is an aspect of| |||||church work which we are hoping to reinstate
very soon.| |||||Assisting

Those in Need| |||||As previously
mentioned,
the main way in which we| |||||provide for those
in need is through
Caring Hands.
The| |||||work ofCaring Hands (the food-bank,
diner (twice| |||||weekly), clothes bank, baby bank, homeless resources| |||||bank), is separated
formally
from the church as a| |||||separate
CIO. Caring Hands remains
very much part of| |||||our work, and we support
Caring Hands through| |||||provision
ofthe building

This is subject to review. This| ||||||year the income has exceeded expenditure
and we have| ||||||the legacy money which is no longer needed to buy the| ||||||extra building
for Caring Hands
in the Vale. This is in| ||||||deposit accounts as we decide how to use it in the longer| ||||||term.
We are now looking to employ a Pastor full-time| ||||||and the reserves give us confidence
