SLEC holds church services; prayer meetings and social events throughout the year, such as coffee mornings. ## **Achievements and Performance** SLEC offer a range of services during the week over the course of the year for the community, which we hope they will find it beneficial and spiritually rewarding. Unfortunately, in March 2020 with the Covid 19 National Lock-down due to Coronavirus, all the meetings held in the building had to be cancelled with immediate effect. Such as. - Regular Church meetings - Sunday Worship Service 11am to 1pm inc Sunday school. - Coffee Mornings - Prayer and Bible Studies - English classes (for Brazilian members) - Any scheduled or at lib meetings for Everton Free School The church leader promptly moved most of the above to ‘Zoom Meetings’, offering relief to most. Some struggled with the technology. A lot of effort was carried out to try and accommodate as many members and none members as possible, to be able to be present for the meetings. Meetings that went on ‘Zoom’ were: - Sunday Morning services - Prayer and bible study Thursdays - English classes and - Virtual coffee mornings - Encouragement of a phone a friend day to call those isolated and lonely During the course the church leader began to use Face Book Live and YouTube live in addition to Zoom. SLEC is now in the process of opening the church building from May 2021 on Sunday 23[st] with a cautious approach ## **Financial Review** SLEC had stable year with an increase of funds of £10.461. This is a result of receipts totalling £22,685 and payments of £12,224.
