Sunday worship forms an important part of meeting our objectives as a Christian Charity. Services are designed to meet all age requirements. Since the relaxation of Covid restrictions, mid-week and Sunday meetings in the church building have been reinstated. Live streaming of Sunday services will continue as we have gain quite a significant following and are reluctant to stop this. Our mid-week “Powerhouse Prayer” meeting is attracting many people to attend and we are seeing some wonderful answers to prayer, thanks to our Gracious Saviour. Although we are a small village church, we have gained a number of new **Summary of the main** partners in 2021. **activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to** With the reintroduction of meeting in the church building, our “Little **these objects (include within** Tiddler” group is going well with a number of young Mun’s showing an **this section the statutory** interest in exploring the Christian faith. **declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance** Our partnership with St. Mary’s Church in Appledore with the “Open the **issued by the Charity** Book” programme is also flourishing.

During the Covid restrictions in place in 2021, we held a number of Sunday services in the open air, which proved popular and provided a safe environment to meet. We did the same at Christmas with an open air Carol service which attracted a considerable crowd, flowed by mince pies and mulled wine. A new initiative this year was the introduction of a quarterly Songs of Praise gathering on Sunday afternoons, followed by tea and cake. This is proving enormously popular and will be continued into 2022. Our walking group, “The Trusty Trudgers” meet up fortnightly and now number more than 20 for a 5-10 mile walk and social time, a great way to include non-Christians into easy conversation. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** **TAR** March **2012** 3 You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers.
