Rachel in Bath writes: we have set up several expressions of church over the last couple of months within the covid restrictions at the time, which have reached out to people who don’t want either a traditional service or a zoom/facebook service to which every church seems to have defaulted.
Picnic Church: people bring a picnic blanket and food and are provided with a craft kit.  We began it mid-august and did it every two weeks until second lockdown.
Muddy Church: joint expression with the local Methodist Church – it’s rained heavily both times. ‘Wandering and Wondering’ in socially-distanced family bubbles.
Walking Church: exploring inspiring biblical passages while finding God in nature on or just off the estate.
Breathe: a relaxing and meditative gathering with home-grown liturgy and meditations to gentle music. A calm Oasis in the business of life.
Now Lockdown v2 has hit, we will need to suspend those expressions temporarily, but we hope to keep something of them going online without a youtube or facebook live service in sight

Ian in writes: Here at Hull yfc we were very happy to see regulars once again attending the daily breakfast club. In late September we had found a way of making the everything Covid-safe as far as we could. Over lockdown there had been home visits and activity bags but there is nothing like being together with families every day and experiencing the ups and downs together.
It has been difficult adjusting to families being confined to their own table, which has affected the dynamics quite a bit, but everyone has made the best of it and slowly we have started to adjust to the new ways.
Over the weeks, we have shared together the challenges of the situation we all now find ourselves in. This has centred quite a lot on children who have had to isolate and the implications and difficulties for parents juggling school runs. There has also been a sense of loss that the annual Hull Fair would not be happening (a huge regular social event for families and the city). 
But, on the whole, it has been a journey we have shared together. We also ran a session where we could share about experiences of lockdown and how we coped.
With another lockdown happening, we have sadly had to close at Breakfast Club again but this time we see this as a positive opportunity to explore new ways and not be stuck in a state of limbo.
Through it all, prayer has been for us an absolute rock. Through all the uncertainties and challenges, just being able to lift it all up to God is a huge relief, whether that be prayer for protection over the school and community or just finding peace in the midst of it all.
