the pandemic many of our activities have
continued to be online.
However, we have been able to maintain
our major liturgical calendar events at
Easter, Pentecost and Christmas which
has always been open to the public, but
held at various venues around. During this
year, all have been held online using Zoom
and YouTube platform. This provided us
the opportunity to connect to a wider
audience locally, around the county and
internationally.
As a result, our events have had more
international participants with items from
various parts of the world as well as the
audiences, this has been extremely
positive.
Our Easter programme was in collaboration
with a church as a drama production on
line where they had the opportunity to
share the valuable work they were doing in
the community particularly for the
vulnerable
Dance rehearsals have continued via Zoom
and videos have been produced for these
online events with members from all over
the country ministering in dance on one
video continuing to share the message of
hope in this very difficult season.| |||In this season we have enhanced our
training programme providing on-line
seminars for new members as a
introduction and connecting to leaders and
members around the country.
