| Weekly worship services - We have been |
| meeting in person atArnett Hills School for |
| the past year. Having transitioned out of the |
| ockdown restrictions our aims where to |
| provide a point ofconnection for those in |
| the church and the community. We have |
| been pleased to see the numbers of |
| attendance grow over the year as we have |
| made connections in the community. |
| Foodbank care packages - We partnered |
| with the school where we meet for services, |
| and donated large food packages for all the |
| families at the school who are known to be |
| in financial need. |
| Children’s church - Children’s church has |
| been one ofthe highlights ofour first year. |
| We have had so many children regularly |
| attending that we have employed children’s |
| workers to run sessions on Sunday |
| mornings. We believe this has enabled us |
| to advance the children’s knowledge and |
| understanding ofthe Christian religion as |
| well as provide them with a safe place to |
| have fun within their community. |
| Midweek support groups - Our mid week |
| support groups have been another point of |
| connection available to anyone within the |
| church. This has helped us to ensure we |
| are fighting loneliness in our community. It |
| has also been one ofthe main ways we |
| have provided pastoral support to |
| attendees as is one of our stated Charitable |
| Purposes. |
