**It’s been an another very difficult year for the church and still suffering the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The outreach work has not got back to the way it was before the Pandemic. We continued for most of the year, recording a weekly video in the church and put it on social media sites. The numbers watching has (as stated in our previous report) can reach from 100 to 200 views weekly. The Sunday School and Thursday Children’s Meeting numbers continue to be low with up to 10 children attending. However giving the circumstances  over  the  past  two  years,  we  are  pleased  with  that  number.  Many established  churches  in  the  area,  no  longer  have  a  Sunday  School  or  even  youth activities, so it is even more important that we carry on. The support of the parents has been an encouragement to us. The children who do attend, we believe benefit from the low numbers with most doing well understanding the lessons and the ability to answer questions.** 

**We don’t see any hope of resuming our Good News Club, in the local school as the school  reduced its after school activities including the Good News Club.** 

**Having a small building means that we do not have the same pressures on us as other churches with large building would have. Even with our difficulties, we still managed to have some income, mostly from gifts.** 

**We have decided that for the next financial year, Direct Debits for the two main Utility Companies (Gas & Electricity) will be paid through the co-operative bank.** 

**There would be an urgent need to have additional workers, should the numbers increase so that we comply with our child safety regulations. We shall consider what steps we should take to increase the numbers of workers.**
