The Church in Lockdown
The Church in Lockdown outlines how the Church in the UK mobilised to meet the myriad of needs across our nation brought about by the pandemic. Whether it was providing meals to the hungry or befriending the lonely and isolated, the Church brought light into dark places.
The Church in lockdown also reflects on how YourNeighbour was able to build a network of over 1,100 churches and support, encourage and equip those on the ground. From providing online content that inspired and instructed to connecting churches to those in Government, YourNeighbour has helped even the smallest of churches to have a big impact.
