Sandra Hilton wanted a record of her Thanks and appreciation to Nick Jackson and team for the online streaming services and meetings this last year. She knows that a lot of non-worshipers are watching our services and becoming interested again.

James Black reiterated Sandra’s comments and added that we have been seeing consistent numbers accessing our online services to near enough the same figures we would have seen in church, pre pandemic days.

Canon Matthew Peat Thanked everyone for attending and closed the meeting with The Grace.
