Some special services and meeting5 aimed at bringing new people in to Seion were a150 held. We ran a weekly children's meeting on a Monday throughout 2025. The children also played a part in our annual carol service which was held the Sunday before Christmas with approximately 100 people in attendance. We also ran a Holiday Bible Club for children during the school summer holidays. Shortly before Christmas three schools sent around 85 children in total to Seion for 'Christmas Wrapped Up, la half day of educational activities put on by Seion's members teaching the children about why Christmas is special for Christiansl. In September one of those schools also sent a cla55 UP to Seion for us to run activities familiarising them with the chapel building and Seion's pastor taught them a Bible story that fitted in with the theme they were studying that term. We have run a number of mea15lservices for over 60s which have been attended by between 25 and 35 people. Seion's pastor has taken, and the chapel hosted, a number of funeral services. both for members of our congregation but also for other people from the local community. Our Bible Study is held on Monday's through telephone conferencing. This has made it possible for people who live quite a distance away from the chapel and those who (due to illness or infirmity) aren't able to attend evening meetings to study the Bible with Us. As a result the vast majority ()f Seion's congregation phone in for the Bible studies. Sei()n's prayer meeting is held on a Thursday in the building.
