Hall each Sunday moming.
Children are encouraged to attend the seNices with their parents after Sunday School which
has ￿Surned again after the pandemic
A children's talk takes place every Sunday morning during the service.
The youth take part in services during the year ie. Youth Sunday, Junior Carol Service and
Harvest Services. Organisations have special services during the year also, ie enrolment
services.
All services are online, and for those Parishioners who do not have intemet access CD'S are
recorded. The Rector holds a Bible Study during the week and also has an online Bible study.
Baptisms and funerals took place in the Church Hall.
During the Christmas season, vulnerable and elderly housebound Parishioners were given
boxes of shortbread and Christmas cards. At the HaNest Service we had a donation for the
Food Bank and at the Christmas Carol seNice we had a toy collection for the Salvation Amy.

financially and through Prayer and in person when permitted.
We support 3 main projects. Through CMSI we support the Dominican Republic of Congo
where we are in partnership with North Kivu Diocese and have jointly with a neighbouring Parish
built an Orphanage there.
We have built a second house at the Orphanage and continue to support the ongoing building
the￿.
We also support Mission Aviation Fellowship and through Crosslinks support a student project
in Italy.
Speakers from each of the above projects attend our Church Services annually to update the
Parishioners on how the projects are progressing.
We support an annual Salvation Anny appeal for toys, food bank provisions and donations.
