Achievements and Performante
Seion's Sunday worship services continued throughout 2025 with a faithful number attending. 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.
