And it was all thanks to Zoom and both churches using giant screens to enjoy the activities going on.

A spokesperson for the Church on Ettiley Heath said: "We connected by Zoom and it worked well.

"It meant both churches could be connected and enjoy what we were doing, including craft activities."
