Attendance returned to levels seen before the pandemic hit, youth and childrens activities also regained their former momentum The work of these aspects took on greater significance as numbers increased slightly The other work of the church including that among older folk be came increasingly helpful for both providing spiritual help and as a warm space for those in contact with the church who found the rising cost of living a burden. The full time employees in the church did not change The work of the charity in funding work abroad did not change The work continued to support ministries in Bosnia Niger and Spain Attendance on the Sunday services increased and new members were added to the church.
