Summary	of	the main	As with most organizations the onset ofthe Covid pandemic
achievements ofthe charity during the year			meant that DVCC had to re align and work out how to function in lockdown and manage meetings in aface to face situation
			under social distancing guidelines.
			With the technical innovation ofonline meetings with Zoom
			we rapidly re shaped doing Church: Tuesday on line Bible
			study looking at the books of Romans and
			Ephesians, Wednesday on line evening prayer meeting,
			Thursday Social zoom and then our normal Sunday morning
			service .We preferred the concept ofa Zoom meeting
			allowing all to participate as opposed to a live streamed event.
			From Easter Sunday 4'" April when government guidelines
			allowed we resumed face to face Sunday morning meetings.
			This all seemed a bit strange as we adhered to social
			distancing guidelines and had no corporate singing. We
			adopted a model ofwhat is being referred to as "Hybrid
			Church" using Zoom as well, allowing those from home tojoin,
			be seen and participate. The "Open Mic"time proved
			interesting and encouraging. We are continuing this model
			into the future as it allows the house bound and those on
			holiday to join. Quite amazingly we even had our friend Abdul,
			who is part ofthe Ugandan Army peace keeping force in
			Somalia, join us from Mogadishu.
			Forthe second year running, and due to popular demand, we
			moved our services into the open air during July and August
			taking advantage ofthe beautiful setting of Eynsford Castle.
			Our theme was "living a fruitful life" based on Galatians ChS v
			23, looking at a different fruit each week. We wanted this to
			be truly community based so invited and were joined by many
			local organisations: History Society, Dementia Cafe, Bread of
			Life, EVS, Eynsford in Bloom, Eynsfara and Sevenoaks
			Welcomes Refugees. These services culminated in a
			community barbecue on the final Sunday.
			We gradually re-started our other activities: our popular
			monthly Sunday Afternoon "Cafe Service "resumed on Sunday
			22"'October. Our monthly Community Prayer Breakfast
			restarted on Saturday 2" October. We moved our Monday bi
			weekly Lunch Club from West Kingsdown to the Riverside
			Cafe in
			Eynsford, this has been popular with many folk from the
			village joining for a time offriendship, fellowship and food.
