Please read before the meeting .** _**see back page**_ 1 **Rector’s Report** It is always good to stop and reflect on the previous year and 2021 is no exception. As a parish we returned to services in all the churches shortly before Easter. This was welcomed by many, though some have understandably continued to shield and therefore we continue to record our weekly Holy Communion service and upload them to YouTube. The link for this is sent round to everyone on the Electoral Roll and uploaded to the parish website so that anyone can view these services if they wish to. Growth in areas of Mission and Discipleship: **Partnership For Missional Church PMC:** PMC came to a formal conclusion in the Autumn of 2021. We were able to have one final in-person meeting with CMS presenters who have journeyed with us over the past three years, at Bagley Baptist church. As a parish we recognise that we have benefitted greatly from the PMC Spiritual Disciplines of Dwelling in the Word, Dwelling in the World, Announcing the Kingdom, Hospitality, Discerning God’s Way and finding a Focus for Missional Action. The Steering Team has undertaken to continue to see these disciplines are imbedded and used in the ongoing life of the parish and Susie Filkins has agreed to continue to lead this group. The Steering Team for this is; Susie Filkins, Barbara Day, Andrew Morrison, Chris Todd and David Lockley **Homegroups:** have continued to meet and are now back in person. Numbers of people in groups has stayed at an encouraging level and the welcome to Christians in our villages who worship in other places helps build a united sense of commitment to praying for our communities and supporting one another. **Curate:** Jo Robinson was priested in June and plays a full part in services and other activities across the whole parish. With the departure of Alex Holmes in August, Jo moved to live in the Diocese house in Rode and quickly settled into the Rode community. Jo has created a team and set up a Cafe in St Philip and St James church Norton St Philip that meets monthly and is specifically to support people and carers with memory loss. This is called the Forget Me Not cafe. **Prayer:** Prayer continues to be a central bedrock to all we do in parish life. Some prayer meetings have returned with attendees meeting in person and the rest continue on Zoom - this enables the places where people are more dispersed to meet without travelling in the dark and cold. **Children and Family Worker:** Sue Rodford returned to working with Tots and Toys and some school work for a short while. The Tots group is flourishing and enjoying the larger flexible space in St Philip and St James Norton St Philip. Several families in this group have requested and had baptisms - so this is proving a good bridge builder with our younger families. Mini Breakfast church has continued on Zoom and that is also very popular. **Using our buildings for Mission:** Over the Lockdown period a faculty was received to remove the central pews in St Philip and St James Norton St Philip. A Gift Day was held the Saturday after Easter. The whole village was invited to come along and see footage of the re-enactment of the Monmouth Rebellion and to hear about the proposed changes. (Covid precautions in place) Over £24,000 was raised on the day. This, together with a Cultural Heritage Recovery Fund Grant, has enabled the work to go ahead swiftly so that it was almost all in place when normal services resumed. We give God the glory for this and look forward to enabling the building to be a widely used resource for groups across the village and indeed whole parish. **Teamwork:** There is a growing team for the Leadership of the whole parish and for the leading of services. We are blessed to have Barbara Day and Michael Harrison as Lay Readers, Fergus Stewart completing his first year of Readers training, and Revd Stephen Kivett helping with preaching and leading Eucharist services all ably supported by Ros Clarke with all the parish admin. More recently, we have been able to meet as a Ministry 2 team and the planning and delivering of Christmas services was an enjoyable team effort for which I am very grateful to all involved. We came to the end of the year able to offer a full range of services and they were well attended across the parish. Some places were able to offer creative alternatives outside, notably Tellisford with their own acted-out Nativity Poem in the churchyard. One event that gave us cause for great joy and celebration as a church family was the baptism of five adults in the River Frome at the end of August and then six people being confirmed in St Philip and St James, Norton St Philip. Another challenging year but _‘The word of God has continued to spread; and the number of the disciples increased…’ Acts 6 v 7_ Praise the Lord… _Caroline,_ Rector ## **Electoral Roll Report** From the 162 names on the electoral roll as reported in 2021 there have been 8 deletions: Ann Cridland, Ronald Holder, Vivienne Holman, Michael Moores, Jo and Simon Walker, Philip Whitaker, and John Wheeler. Additions during the year include: Francis and Judith Green, Peter and Ruth Cook and Jean Milne. There are currently 159 names on the electoral roll. _Ros Clarke_ , Electoral Roll Officer ## **PCC Report** ## **Covid 19** Following the disruption caused by Covid, the parish will now return to its normal year end of March. This report relates to the April 21 to March 22 year. The first two PCC meetings were held by Zoom but for the latter two returned to meeting in person.

At each meeting, the PCC received written reports from the Rector and from the Children’s and Family worker. The PCC received an update at each of their meetings of progress with Partners in Mission Church (PMC). Their content is not reported here but summarised in their annual reports. The meeting on April **26** was held by Zoom with 19 out of a possible 23 attending. The Rector led the PCC in “Dwelling in the Word” using Acts 6 1-7. The PCC agreed to these appointments. Andrew Morrison Vice-Chair Tony Day Secretary Nick Brown Treasurer Geoff Banwell Chair the Finance Committee Rachel Stewart Safeguarding Officer Vacant Health & Safety Officer Ros Clarke Electoral Roll Officer The PCC discussed and agreed revisions to the service pattern during lock down and Christmas.

Chris Todd gave a verbal report and update on PMC progress. Alex Holmes gave a reflection on her time in Rode. She will be licensed to the Priddy Parish on Sept 16. Following his kind offer, the meeting elected Andrew Morrison to fill the role of Health & Safety Officer. The Rector reported on a return to church and the meeting agreed to Protocol for attending services. Rachel Stewart submitted a written Health & Safety Report raising a number of issues. The meeting received a Report on the Culture Recovery Fund – David Lockley was thanked gratefully for spearheading this initiative. A proposal to install 24 infra-red heaters in NSP church was approved. At its meeting on **18 October, now in person** 17 of a possible 24 attended. Barbara Day reported the original PMC programme is now complete although Covid has frustrated plans to look further into hospitality and links with the pubs. Good things have however come from the process. Dwelling in the Word, Hospitality and Noticing God - The practise of these is making a difference. A new local charity _Focus Frome_ was approved unanimously. The Rector gave a report on her activity as area Dean - in particular that the current seven stipendiary posts will be reduced to six. Four posts will become vacant over the next five years. The plans for Christmas and the period up to and including Easter were discussed. After discussion It was agreed unanimously we return to using the small single communion cups until the Covid situation is safer. Rachel Stewart received approval of the Hardington Vale Safeguarding Action Level 1 Plan, dated 19/7/21. Hemington: Ongoing discussion is taking place with an individual, trying to resolve historic issues in particular how insurance was handled. The Rector gave a summary of the background. The Archdeacon and Diocesan head of finance Matthew Pinnock, have been informed and consulted. At its meeting on **7 March,** in person, 16 out of a possible 23 attended. Rector presented the updated vision document dated 4 January 2022 drafted by Chris Todd Four key issues were highlighted: - Appointing a successor to the Children & Families worker - Developing a vision for the use of the House for duty in Rode - Affirming the laity - Embedding the spiritual practices learnt from PMC The meeting agreed to continue using the individual communion cups. Rachel Stewart gave a Health & Safety report to the meeting. She thanked those who had recently undertaken training. She introduced a draft policy on lone working. The draft accounts for the year to 31 December 2021 were presented to the meeting by Geoff Banwell. The PCC noted the areas of improved finance and approved the account unanimously. 5 David Lockley reported the 24 infra-red heaters were now installed and running. The required £6000 to complete the project has been raised. The meeting thanked David and Michael Walker for leading this project. St Marys Laverton heating system is showing signs of scorching. St Marys would like to take the opportunity to replace these existing heaters with 28 electric convection heaters sited under the seats of the pews. The meeting approved proceeding to a faculty application. ## _**Tony Day**_ **Secretary Hardington Vale PCC** ## **Church Wardens’ Reports** ## **St. Leonard’s Church, Farleigh Hungerford** The pattern of one Sunday service each month has continued throughout the year alternating between a Communion Service and a lay led Matins. A special service was held in August to celebrate the re-opening of the Chancel following the expert restoration of the Houlton monuments funded by two grants and the Friends of St. Leonard’s. The condition of the Church remains good and steady progress in working through the matters raised in the Quinquennial Report has been made throughout the year, including a new gate on the boiler house steps, a new door and repairs to the boiler house roof and reinstatement of the storehouse door. Owing to the generosity of Dr Mike Smith, a lengthy section of the north churchyard wall was rebuilt. The terrier and log book are correct. Save that 30 small glasses were purchased for Holy Communion, no assets were acquired or disposed of during the year. Once again the improvements and maintenance of the Church and the churchyard was carried out and funded by the Friends of St. Leonard’s to whom sincere thanks are due. I would like to express gratitude to Mike Smith, Sallie Neill, John Davidson, Rex Eastment, Sue Bevan, Claire Covill and Deborah and Robin Allen for their enthusiastic support of St. Leonard’s and for the great contribution they have made over the year to the wellbeing of this lovely church and its continuing life. All of us are grateful for the brightening of the Church services by the flowers provided by Deborah Allen, Dilys Mackechnie and Vicky Bunn. ## _**Guy Hungerford,**_ **Chapel Warden** ## **St Mary’s, Laverton** ## **Terrier, Inventory & logbook** The documents have been reviewed. All is present and correct. The logbook is up to date ## **Church Services** The church having been shut during lockdown, the former pattern of services resumed, with Holy Communion on the first Sunday of the month and lay led morning service on the next 3 Sundays. These last just half an hour with no sermon because that would be presumptuous. 6 ## **Building Repairs** The 2019 Quinquennial Inspection Report (2019 QIR) required the carpet non-breathing underlay to be replaced. In the event, the underlay and carpet were removed without replacement. This revealed two areas of floorboard instability caused by wood-boring weevil and woodworm in the joists and floorboards down the north side of the nave either side of the entrance. All were renewed, some boards coming from Norton St Philip. This work was all done by joiner Peter Stratford, of Rode. Woodworm in wall planks behind the altar, and in the tower, was also treated. The 2019 QIR identified many cracks and joints in the external walls needing to be raked out and repointed with lime mortar. By the time the chosen builder, John Reynolds of Stratton–on-the-Fosse, was able to start the work another winter had passed, and the number and size of cracks had markedly increased. It took Tim Pratten and his son Sam, working methodically round the building, several weeks to affect the repairs. ## **Appeal for financial contributions** The coincidence of extensive internal and external building repairs and COVID lockdowns, which seriously impacted income from collections and fundraising events, threatened to wipe out the financial reserves. An appeal for donations towards building repairs was launched and thanks to many generous contributions the repair costs were covered, and the reserves were restored. _**Sir Robert Hill,**_ **Chapel Warden** ## **St Philip & St James, Norton St Philip** This has been quite a year in the life of the Church in Norton St Philip! Like our other church buildings, the church began the year in ‘lock-down’ and was closed for nearly five months. On the 30 March 2021, we received notification that our application to the Culture Recovery Fund for Heritage, for a grant to help our church buildings reopen following closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic, had been successful. While much of this grant was allocated to Hardington Vale Parish as a whole - to cover the cleaning of our historic church buildings, three month’s salary for our children and family worker and our parish administrator, upgrading our website and some churchyard maintenance, a significant proportion was designated to St Philip & St James church to cover the cost of completing the removal of the fixed benches and the wooden platform on which they stood to provide a flexible community space. The grant also enabled the redecoration of the South Porch and the conversion of the south west corner of the nave into a ‘History Corner’. The award also went towards modifying our heating system which was necessary due to the removal of some of the radiators. However, the grant did not cover the purchase of replacement chairs, and so a Gift Day was held on 10 April to raise money to purchase 60 upholstered wooden chairs, 100 matching steel-framed chairs and also to help with the cost of new electrical infra-red heaters, which would help us reach our target of being ‘carbon zero’ by 2030. The response of parishioners was fantastic and almost £30,000 was pledged. In April we received permission to proceed with work associated with the grant and immediately a team of volunteers went to work to remove the benches and the platform, much of which was found to be affected by woodworm and dry rot. New joists were fitted and a new floor of engineered oak was laid flush with the adjacent aisles. 7 The South Porch was redecorated by Michael Walker and in May, work began to construct our ‘History Corner’. The wood from the old shelves along with some of the wood from the benches was reworked by Peter Stratford and transformed into stunning illuminated display cabinets. These are now used to display various historical artefacts and information about the history of the village. We hope the Norton St Philip History Group will now maintain these exhibits. Because of the ‘lock-down’ no services took place inside the church until the end of May although we did hold several outside in the churchyard. Since then, the usual service pattern has resumed with Breakfast Church on the first Sunday of the month, Informal Worship on the third, and Holy Communion on the second and fourth Sundays. We have also had several baptisms, weddings and funerals, with one wedding using the church for its reception afterwards. In August, we were also delighted to host a confirmation service for many of our friends from Rode who had been recently baptised in the River Frome. A free ‘Thank You’ event was organised to thank villagers for their support and to showcase our new community space. Originally planned for July, it was delayed until October following a resurgence of COVID-19 cases. About a hundred people gathered and enjoyed an evening of music and refreshments. Our churchyard continues to be well maintained. The mowing of the grass has been funded by the Parish Council. We have attempted to increase the biodiversity of the area with the introduction of a ‘Bug Hotel’ and the planting of various flowering shrubs and herbaceous plants funded from the Culture Recovery Fund grant. Work parties were again organised by Duncan Barley in the spring and autumn to tidy up the churchyard. An initiative by our curate, Jo, has instigated a ‘Forget-me-not Café’ which is held in the church once a month with the objective of providing support to people living with dementia and their carers. Our ‘Tots and Toys’ pre-school support group led by Sue Rodford and Muriel Duckett continues to attract a good number of families, often leading to baptisms. We have applied for a number of faculties to facilitate the changes in the church, among them a faculty to install a contactless giving facility, permission to bring a three phase electricity supply to the church to enable our new heating system to operate and of course, permission to install the new heaters. These have all been granted. The contactless giving unit is now located by the main door in the south aisle and this enables parishioners and visitors to easily give a donation for the upkeep of the church building using their credit or debit card. 8 We were very happy to be able to celebrate Christmas in the church normally (except for mask wearing). A Christmas bazaar, which was well attended, was held on 4 December raising over £800 for the fabric fund. Christmas carols and music played by the saxophone quartet S4Xophony were much appreciated. A candle-lit carol service included musical offerings from our ad hoc choir and a world premiere of a new version of ‘In the Bleak Mid-Winter’ written and accompanied on the saxophone by Nick Sorensen. The Terrier has been checked and all items, with one exception, are present and correct. The missing item is the 14[th] -century alms box which was removed from the South Porch when it was decorated and is yet to be replaced. We would like to record our grateful thanks for all the people who have worked throughout the year in difficult circumstances to provide our services and care for the church and churchyard, including the flower ladies, the clock winders, the bell ringers and especially those who worked tirelessly to complete the reordering in time for the church to re-open in May, notably Chris Cloke, Tony Day, Michael Harrison, David Lockley, Peter Stratford and Michael Walker. ## **Church wardens,** _**Muriel Duckett and Glenys Brown**_ ## **St Lawrence, Rode** ## **The Church Building** We are pleased to report that we have returned to our normal rota of weekly services after two years of disruption due to the Covid 19 pandemic. It is good to be back meeting with our friends again. During the year we replaced the hanging lights in the main body of the church. Virtually all of the cost was covered by some very kind sponsors to whom go our grateful thanks. We would also like to thank Keith Sharman who did the fitting. St Lawrence Church is Grade 1 listed. The last quinquennial inspection was in July 2017. Most of the recommended actions have been carried out, and others are being dealt with as we write. In 2022 another quinquennial inspection by the architect is due and the complete electrical system is due for an inspection by an appropriately qualified electrician. We hope that these will not reveal problems that we do not already know about. That brings us to the roof. In his 2017 quinquennial report the architect drew attention to the need to renovate at least the worst affected parts of the roof and anticipated that action would be required within five years. Five years has now elapsed, and we need to try to raise the money to deal with this situation. Together with the Heart of Rode fundraising committee, we will be doing our best in that respect. ## **The Churchyard** The Churchyard has been regularly mown and kept in good order. We are grateful to Rode Parish Council for the annual grant they provide towards the cost of maintenance. ## **Terrier and Log Book** The Terrier and Log Book are up to date. A defective convector heater has recently been scrapped and replaced by a new fan heater which has been donated. 9 ## **Fund Raising** Apart from regular and other donations, funds to pay for maintenance and insurance of St Lawrence are raised by the Heart of Rode committee. Since we last reported, the only events not prevented by Covid, were the tombola stall at Rode Village Day in 2021 and a recent ‘Murder Mystery’ evening at Rode Memorial Hall. The latter, in particular, was great fun and both events exceeded expectations in financial terms. Rode Roxy film show is about to restart. ## **Occasional Ofces** During the year there were two baptisms in church. There were also five full immersion baptisms conducted by the Rector in the River Frome just downstream from Rode Bridge. There were no marriages but three funerals, one memorial service and one interment of ashes. ## _**Geoff Banwell and Sally Pickett,**_ **Churchwardens** ## **All Saints Tellisford** Our village’s Church of All Saints is a Chapel of Ease (since June 2017) and each year the congregation and the Fabric Committee elect a Chapel Warden (currently Rachel Feilden), and the Deputy Warden is Helen Curwen. The regular pattern of services was again disrupted by government-initiated lockdowns due to fresh waves of the continuing pandemic caused by variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. However, vaccinations against Covid-19 were under way by the new year, and the first service of 2021 was Easter (4 April) at Farleigh Hungerford; the requirement for well-spaced seating meant that only eight places could be allocated to the Tellisford congregation. Everyone wore masks, and only the officiating priest used the chalice. On 11 May Evening Prayer with masks restarted followed by Sunday services on 13 June. Our church was open to visitors, with hand sanitizer in the porch. The team of eight flower arrangers kept the church feeling fresh and welcoming, and the Visitors’ Book records 81 comments from the many visitors who appreciate the peace and beauty of the place. In December the British Pilgrimage Trust organized a group to visit on their walk between Bath and Frome. The churchyard plan is up to date. The Fabric Committee established an improved mowing pattern (fortnightly mow including paths connecting to the footpath; late summer mow of longer growth) that allows the flora to flower and make seeds, providing sustenance for birds and insects. The electrical appliances were PAT-tested on 11 May 2020 on a schedule in accordance with Health and Safety Regulations. Fire extinguishers were inspected on schedule in June. We have inspected the Terrier, and all church goods and chattels therein are in place. The Log Book and Register of Services are up to date. ## **Regular services** The schedule for regular services is lay-led Matins at 9am on the second Sunday of the month, Holy Communion at 9am on the fourth Sunday, and Evening Prayer every Tuesday fortnight at 6pm. ## **Occasional Offices** Baptism of Rollo Watkins, 25 May 2021. All Saints and All Souls, 1 November 2021. Nativity Poems, 23 December 2021. _**Rachel Feilden and Helen Curwen,**_ **Churchwardens** 10 **Health & Safety Report** The year 2021 has seen changes and incidents in all areas of HV, but thanks to the existing Health and Safety Policy Policies and Procedures established previously, and the resourcefulness of the Churchwardens across the parish, HV has been able to continue to operate and be compliant with H&S Regulations. Example of situations the parishes faced in the year include: 1. Dangerous monument at Hemington 2. Accident in the car park at Rode 3. Excess storage of goods in the tower at NSP 4. Removal of nave flooring and nave heating in NSP The bulk of H&S work is carried out by the churchwardens for each church within HV, and these responsibilities include: 1. Ensuring that their churches are clean and tidy 2. Ensuring that the churchyards are properly maintained and safe 3. Ensuring that all equipment is properly maintained and in good condition , and that equipment users are properly trained to use the equipment safely 4. Ensuring a safe access to each church building is maintained 5. Ensuring that fire equipment is adequate and properly maintained on a regular basis 6. Ensuring that food hygiene regulations are maintained Our thanks go to Bob Hill, who again this year, has carried out PAT testing to all electrical appliances across the churches within HV parish, thus ensuring the safety of appliances used within HV. Chris Cloke, who took on the role of churchwarden responsible for “buildings” this year, has been assisting wardens in all the churches in carrying out “wobble “tests, as well as advising on any aspect of building maintenance as required. It has been a busy year for him, and we appreciate his positive contribution. Each church within HV will have carried out a Fire Training and Fire Drill before the start of a Sunday morning service in the run up to Easter 2022, in order to educate church members of what to do in the event of the need to evacuate a church building. The Annual Certificates of Declaration have been prepared for each church within HV, and these will have been signed by each Church/Chapel Warden and the Rector. ## **Andrew Morrison, Health and Safety Representative** ## **Safeguarding Report** ## **Safeguarding Action Plan** The latest safeguarding action plan is available to view. Outstanding actions are: 1. To publicise and promote the CofE ‘Promoting a safer church’ statement and incorporate a statement about this in the existing safeguarding policy which should also probably be reviewed this year 2. To ensure that all the PCC members have completed outstanding training. ## **Safeguarding incident** No further safeguarding incidents. ## **Lone working policy** A draft lone working policy has been drawn up and if agreed we will need to make sure a sign is available to put up on the church door. 11 ## **DBS & Training Update** _The following DBS certificates are in the process of being renewed:-_ Barbara Day, Ros Lockley and Sharman Flindall _All worship leaders and wardens required to complete C2 training have now done so - Well done everyone!_ _C1 Basic awareness training_ is outstanding for three volunteers. ## **Rachel Stewart, Safeguarding Officer** ## **Children and Families Worker Report** This has been a difficult time due to covid lockdowns and restrictions and has impacted on my face-to-face work with children and families in the parish. I have also been on furlough for part of this time when the schools had to close to our families except for key worker and vulnerable families. With support from Caroline and Jo I have still been able to offer outreach to families through the use of IT and meeting outdoors. Our Tots and Toys families have a very active ‘what’s app’ group and all families have allowed me their contact details whether by land line, mobile phone or email. So, our valuable work has carried on regardless! ## **TOTS and TOYS** When covid restriction’s dictated that we could not hold Tots and Toys in NSP church I moved the group outside and we held an outdoors version of Tots and Toys on the Mead in the play area. We gained several new families, and twenty-five families are now registered. When we were allowed back into church, I visited a toddler group in Peasedown St. John for covid hygiene advice and how to run a toddler group with social spacing (as toddlers don’t understand social spacing!) I also worked with the Go Team (Children and Youth Worker advisers from the Diocese) so that everyone involved with Tots and Toys was assured that I had made everything as covid safe as possible. Working with Muriel Duckett who has been a brilliant support with Tots and Toys, we audited all the toys and now only had wipeable toys. We also used money to buy new equipment from the weekly fee parents/carers pay for Tots and Toys. As the pews had been removed, we now have a circle of chairs interspersed with small tables and parent/carers can sit in their own ‘bubble’. Muriel takes individual orders for tea/coffee and delicious chocolate cake which she brings to each family so that they could take off their masks as we followed restaurant/café guidelines. The parents/carers now bring their own refreshments for their children. The cost is £2.00 per adult for the session and our parents/carers are very happy with this arrangement. We have had much positive feedback from families and carers (including two Norland nannies who work for two of our families (Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte have a Norland Nanny) so this was most appreciated!). ## **NORTON ST PHILIP FIRST SCHOOL, RODE FIRST SCHOOL and HEMINGTON SCHOOL** All schools were told to stop allowing outside visitors on site due to covid restrictions. I had prepared the assembly themes with Caroline and Jo, and they videoed the assemblies which were sent to the schools. Caroline and Jo also took over my lunch time weekly BIFF CLUB (Bible is Fun) and offered this as a zoom session which was accessible to the children being taught at home. 12 ## **NORTON ST PHILIP PRESCHOOL** I was able to visit the pre-school for my weekly song and story session until covid restrictions meant that the pre-school was unable to allow outside visitors on site. I was able to keep in contact with staff through emails and short chats outside over the preschool fence. ## **MINI BREAKFAST CHURCH** This is new and has come about due to Breakfast Church being suspended during the church closure due to covid. Caroline had the very good idea of offering a ‘mini breakfast church’ once a month on zoom on a Sunday morning. This family orientated service lasts for 30 minutes, and parents remain with their children whilst I or Caroline or Jo lead the service. I issue families with an activity pack beforehand either by delivering by hand or having a covered box on Caroline’s doorstep with named activity packs inside. These activity packs have items for the children to make during the family service. We have thirteen families who regularly join via zoom for mini breakfast church, and it is a very enjoyable half an hour working with the families to share God’s word. It is wonderful to see the children so engaged and laughing and having fun (and the parents as well!) ## **THE POSADA** I have had to make up two new Posada boxes for NSP and Rode that are covid safe. This meant that we could not use the knitted figures as they cannot be washed. So, I have put in two sets of painted wooden figures that are wipeable. Also, I have cut up the Nativity story books and put them in laminated folders which are again wipeable. I have also put in antiseptic wipes so the families can use these to wipe the Nativity figures and the Nativity Story book once they receive the Posada box and once when they pack it up to pass onto the next family. ## **DIOCESE TRAINING** This has continued through the use of zoom and is free training to all Children and Youth Workers. I have also taken advantage of free training from One Way UK Gospel Puppets Ministry. They have regular zoom training on working within covid guidelines, outdoors ministry, making and using videos to reach families, resources and useful web sites. I hope this gives you a feel of how we have tried to keep in close contact with our families and what has been offered during the covid lockdowns. I feel very positive that we have supported our families and gained new families as we made our way through all the restrictions that were put upon us. ## _**Sue Rodford,**_ **Children & Families Worker** ## **Music** With the resumption of worshipping in our church buildings, music making also returned with an organist for the Holy Communion services in Rode and Norton St Philip and a mixture of recorded and live playing for the informal services.
