Annual Report – Hope Church Shaw (April 2020-March 2021)
Due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, and in line with the lockdown guidelines introduced by the government in March 2020, all church activities were stopped.
The Sunday morning services were moved online and were streamed through YouTube and the Midweek Meetings also were moved online onto the Zoom platform.
Any other meetings, such as Deacons Meetings, Elders Meetings, Members Meetings and Trustees Meetings were also moved onto the Zoom platform, and were not held in person.
Our intention in 2021 is to move meetings back to the church building, and to start activities again in the church building, once it is safe to do so, and is in line with the government guidance.
