| Achievements against objectives set |
Para 1.41 | It is no doubt that the year 2020 impacted us all. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, our activities were greatly impacted. From March to the end of the year, we could not hold in person service. We however resorted to online services to hold worship and midweek service. We are grateful to the lord for keeping all of our members and families in such difficult times. However, it will forever be remembered as a year, we helped and supported many families and organisations in our community. For instance, the church during the Christmas season offered pack of meals to some selected NHS workers (DDH) such as Nurses and Cleaners, The Yorkshire Ambulance Team and the Leeds Prisons where we gave out over 100 Socks and Handkerchiefs to prison inmates. We thank the Lord for keeping all of our lives and families and causing His church to shine in the midst of unseeingly difficulties in the world. |
