benefits to society as a					promotion ofthe Christian faith through an
whole.					'act local &think global' approach which
					means we are very concerned about
					spreading the 'Good News' of Christianity	in
					practica! ways in our local community
					through our own ministry and by supporting
					the ministry of other local churches by
					supporting them in prayer and promoting
					unity by holding joint services and social and
					charitable activities. In terms ofthinking
					globally, we also support the wider mission
					ofthe global church in whatever ways seem
					fit.
					This year has seen us try to continue to
					recover from the Covid 19pandemic. We
					had to close the church again to the spike	in
					Covid cases in October 2020 and we did	not
					reopen until Easter Sunday 4m April 2021.
					During this closure our faithful members of
					the congregation continued to give their
					tithes and offerings to support the ongoing
					work ofthe church Obviously, our normal
					weekly church activities were suspended.
					The Pastor continued to be in contact with
					the members by phone and also resumed	a
					regular newsletter for people who did not
					have the technology to receive the
					messages that he was producing weekly	in
					the form of Facebook wdeos.
					These wdeos were greatly appreciated, not
					only by church members, but also the wider
					general public, most of which were none
					church goers, however, the Pastor and
					church were very pleased to have many
					encouraging responses every week from
					people who were being helped to cope with
					and get through the pandemic. One lady,
					(who was the Chair ofGovernors at the local
					rima school that the Pastor met in

passing said, "I'm not a particularly religious
person but Ijust wanted you to know that
your posts helped get me through lockdown',
this was a great encouragement both to the
Pastor and the church.
Once again planned visits by Kirkby Avenue
primary school for Harvest and Christmas
had to be cancelled due to the second
lockdown.
Itwas so good to reopen on Easter Sunday
4~April 2021,a kind ofresurrection day for
the church. In October we had our Harvest
Thanksgiwng Service, and we donated an
offering ofjust over E200to Samantan's
Purse's Livelihoods Project where they work
with families engaged in subsistence farming
who often live in chronic poverty and
malnutrition, and who lack the skills to get
the most out oftheir small patches of land.
Others have seen their livelihoods wiped out
by drought, disaster, or war. Through their
Animals, Agriculture, and Livelihoods
programmes, Samaritan's Purse have
helped to provide thousands of impoverished
farmers, herders, and fishermen around the
world with the resources and training they
need to feed their families and even obtain a
modest income that can be used for
education, medical care, or other needs.
The church collected items for (Shoe Box
Christmas Presents) and Bentley
Pentecostal Church kindly packed 30shoe
boxes for us to send to Samaritans Purse
'Operation Christmas Child' Kind donations
were passed on to Bentley Pentecostal
Church to cover the postage ofthe shoe box
presents.
The Pastor continues as Chaplain to
Doncaster Retro Rovers, a local community
walking football project offenng practical and
emotional support The Pastor has also
become the Chaplain of Doncaster 'Fit
Rovers' and offers friendship 8 counselling
to members of Doncaster Fit Rovers a
fitness, health and well-being local
community project. However, in April this
year our Pastor has had a hip replacement
that has left him with ongoing complications
which has limited time spent with the above
projects, however he has still maintained
contact through messaging and social
media.
The Pastor visited one of our Church
Members whose wife, also a member, was
deteriorating in hospital from Huntington' s
disease. Sadly, this lady died in September
and the funeral was held at church.
