during the year
'Achievements and
erformance
2020- Au
2021
Our Sunday services for worship and praise and Wednesday evening Bible
Class continued throughout 2020121.
Our offici21 membership now stands at 57, a little higher than it has been for
a while, due to a baptism in June 2021 and the transfer of several members
from otber Chri5tadelphian chu rches.
The church website had about 16,000 vi51ts f rom 3,500 visitors, which 15
around a 14% increase in visitors since the previou5 year. Average time on
page at 3m55s is apparently high by the Standards of the World Wide Web,
and this is usually a good sign of engagement.
Youth activities continued th is year in some form or another, as Covid rules
allowed. One of the h ighlights was creating linocut designs for printing
Ch ri5tmas cards, with proceeds going to The Porch and Viva, two local Oxford
charities which we support. As usual, it is our policy to ensure that all th()%e
who work with chi Idren le.g. Sunday School, toddlers and youth group51
undergo Disclosure and Barring Service IDBSI checks.
Several church members have organised computers, cameras and mixing
desks at the Hall to make hybrid Sunday services a reality. Participants can
now choose to come to the Hall orjoin online.
A majority voted to end all gender-based restrictions regard ing the
conducting of services, and this was implemented.
In February 2021, Chris Stratta from the Leprosy Mission led a Bible Clas5
evening on the work of that charity. In response, we held a Special Collection
to support a Leprosy Mission 'Hub of Hope" in MozambiqL4e.
The Church continued its support of local organisations and charities, such as
The Porch, The Icolyn Smith Foundation Iwh ich supports the Oxford
Community Soup Kitchen) and the Oxford Community Food Bank. We al.£0
made a donation for the purchase of books for Iranian Bible Study groups in
Coventry.
