Rector’s Report APCM 2023 for the year 2022

I write this report with a lot of thankfulness, especially given the last six weeks I have been through.

I am foremostly thankful to our faithful God who we continue to worship week by week, following in the footsteps of those who have gone before us. I am reminded of the words from Hebrews 13:8 – [8 ] Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

I am also thankful that being followers of Jesus we are not alone and we have our own gifts and talents we bring. I am so thankful for the people I serve along-side. As always, this is a danger to mention names in case I forget someone. (sorry if that is you!)

I would like to say a huge thank you to Carol Edwards who has, and continues to serve our parish and provided a real sense of continuity as I took up post.

I would like to thank Elize with her administrator role and children and families role. Always willing, always smiling and always supportive.

Eileen Oates has an amazing gift working pastorally amongst the parish and helps me know what is going on; alongside this she assists the finance team with David and Helen.

Sylvia continues to serve as a valued Reader in our parish.

The Church Wardens Meg, Sue (and from May), Peter, at All Saints and Chris at Failand continue to serve faithfully, supported by others as needed in their assistant role John and Bob.

In October it was a surprise and pleasure to welcome Sarah Sanderson to the team as our full time, pioneer Curate. The support and friendship has been amazing.

The Church yard working party in Wraxall under the guidance of Bob has continued to go well; and in Failand the maintenance of buildings and grounds has been ongoing.

Musical worship on Sundays, in Wraxall has been wonderfully lead by Tim on two Sunday’s and Paul on the other two. It was also sad during the year to mourn the loss of our organist Adrian, who was so faithful over many years. The on line technical ability enables our worship to continue on Thursdays, Midweek morning prayer and 1[st] Sunday services.

Sharon our verger continues to serve the church and we are thankful for the hours and ministry she gives.

Beck Cawsey our safe guarding officer continues to ensure we follow good practice.

Our pastoral services engage with many folks on the margins of church. During 2022:

There were 8 weddings in our parish, 5 Baptisms, the preparation for which were conducted by Rev Morey Andrews and Carol Edwards (Retired Priest). There were 4 cremation services, 12 interments, 7 burials and 1 memorial service held.

There are many others who serve in so many ways including the members of the PCC who serve the church and community, including those on the Deanery and Diocesan Synod.

The flower arrangers, cleaners, welcomers, bell ringers, refreshments team, all make the church we are right here and right now.

Some of the highlights of ministry and service during the year include: -

10

You may well have other occasions of note that I have not mentioned.

We do not work alone and are in partnership with Christians Together in Nailsea and District – working alongside Skatefest in Nailsea and of course providing our continued support to Neil Wylie and the Connect project. In addition to organising and supporting the children’s events and Holiday clubs. (Thank you Elize).

This year I also took on the responsibility for Trendlewood Conventional District and am endeavouring to forge greater links between all three churches as we move forward – keeping our distinctiveness but building on our unity.

As a priority looking forward we want to deepen our relationship with God; to build our discipleship as we follow Him and to seek to continue to make the Gospel known in our parish.

To help us in this we are part of the Deanery of Portishead (see report later on) and the Diocese of Bath of Wells where we were excited and pleased to welcome Michael Beasley as the next Bishop. Under his guidance the Diocese continues to follow the vision of: -

In response to God’s immense love for us we seek to be God’s people living and telling the story of Jesus.

As part of the Church of England we encourage the five Marks of mission:

As we strive to Build God’s Kingdom and grow His church, I commend these as a way of seeking to be faithful in our parish over this next year and in the years to come.

As I said at the beginning, I am thankful for God’s faithfulness as we remain faithful to Him and each other.

Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, as indeed you are doing. 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Treasurers Report for year to 31st December 2022

1 The accounts for the 12 months to 31[st] December last were completed in the present form by 15[th] of January. This was achieved as a result of considerable effort by both Helen Bailey and Eileen Oates using the software My Fund Accounting installed late 2021. Well done everybody.

2 Income and Expenditure

All Saints general/unrestricted: Income £89K included a contribution from St Bartholomew’s £9,381 Legacies of £31,131 were welcome are included as Designated. Total expenditure incurred was £102,789 Deficit of £13,679 after charging £42,755 Parish Share.

St Bartholomew’s:

Income total £19,824 and expenditure was £19,234. But before charging £24,340 repairs to roof and gutters, contribution from Vaughan Trust £2,000

3 The Funds supported by cash held by the two churches were:

All Saints

General £30,000 Designated £62,330 Restricted £32,992 Total £125.332

St Bartholomew’s General £15,515 Designated £3,617 Total £18,993

2023 Budget/Plan All Saints deficit £18,000 estimate St Bartholomew’s deficit £2000 estimate

The Benefice is seeking to reduce the £53,000 Parish Share levied by £11,000, which will be more in line with regular reduced numbers attending the two churches. The deficit will be reduced to around £7,000/£8,000 for the current year (subject to expenditure savings or increase in income). As such to be borne by reserves, these discussions are ongoing,

Warden’s Report from All Saints’ Wraxall

Regular routine maintenance tasks including testing of portable appliances, fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, security system and lightning conductors have been carried out as normal. The piano and organ have been tuned. In the tower the bells were serviced, some further work was done on 6 of the bells.

In the Cross Tree Centre, the kitchen has passed its inspection.

Internally, the church is cleaned by a dedicated and indefatigable team, to whom we are very grateful. A new brass plaque was installed within the chancel, bearing the names of the previous and present incumbents.

Our Quinquennial inspection was carried out this year by our architect, Mr. Malaiperuman. In his summary report, he states “The church is well maintained by an active congregation”. Nevertheless, there are some issues to be attended to, in particular some repointing is necessary at certain locations on the building, and most importantly at the east side of the tower close to the bell chamber. Many of the remaining issues have already been attended to, including some lead work on the south roof.

Work has started on the digitisation of our church records. We have paper records of all baptisms, marriages and burials since 1562 – the process of transferring them to a searchable computer medium was in progress for much of the year.

The church lodge remains a valuable asset, but its oil central heating boiler has been giving problems and will probably have to be replaced.

Some roof issues were also identified, to be addressed at a future date.

The wardens wish to thank all the volunteers who keep our church and churchyard clean and in good order. It would be great if a few more folk could join them to spread the load.

Meg Caton, Peter Heard, All Saints Wardens.

Warden’s Report from St Bartholomew’s Failand

This has been a special year working with and getting to know our new rector Morey Andrews and then in October we were blessed with the addition of Sarah Sanderson as a curate to join us.

Both of whom are hardworking and inspirational and we are very lucky to have them.

Due to their combined work load which now also includes Trendlewood it has not been possible to revive the pre covid Said Morning Service at St Bartholomew’s except on special occasions such as Remembrance Sunday.

Our current Service pattern is as follows:

January Normal Services Hedges trimmed on extra land adjacent to graveyard February Normal Services March Normal Services + Baptism Organ tuned and loose key replaced

April Evening Prayer, Good Friday Meditation and Easter Sunday HC

20

August Normal Services (Patronal Festival HC) +Wedding + Interment

5 yearly check of lightening conductor from base to top of steeple September Normal Services...HC Remembering HRH Queen Elizabeth II October Harvest Thanksgiving + HC (Perishable foods donated to Salvation Army Hostel and non-perishable food to Foodbank)

November Evening Prayer + Remembrance Sunday + Interment

Work completed on roof and scaffolding taken down. December Toy Service (Toys donated to Salvation Army) Carol Service ...£400 raised: £200 donated to Foodbank £200 to Caring at Christmas Christmas Eve … Holy Communion

In June we joined forces with the Churches Conservation Trust to promote our Champing initiative ie. to offer visitors overnight camping in our church. The season ended in October and despite having to restrict bookings during roof repairs we managed to raise £1,200.

Our other fund raising event was the annual concert by the Bristol Chamber Orchestra and this also raised £1,200.

General maintenance has continued throughout the year on the graveyard and we still employ a cleaner once a month.

Pastoral Care Report

The parish pastoral care team continues to send Birthday, Anniversary and Get well cards to members of both congregations. This enables people to remain in contact with church life and to hear news of the wider church community.

We aim to meet regularly during the year at these meetings we consider ways of serving the parish better. We also share any concerns we may have and pray together.

As part of our pastoral care for members of both our congregations ‘Home Communion’ is taken to those who are unable to attend church services. The aim is that everyone who wants to, can receive Communion at least once a month.

It is a huge privilege to visit people in this way and to share the Sacrament with them. They are always grateful and love to hear news of those they know in the congregation.

At present there is one person receiving ‘Home Communion’ but it is a fluid list.

Another aspect of our pastoral care is the availability of home cooked meals for those who may require one.

Members of the pastoral team are: Eileen Oates, Iris Croome, Meg Caton, Susan Sanderson, Megan Crook, Sylvia Phillips, Sue Johnson, Elize Jutsum and Anina Stenlake.

Thank you to everyone it is a real privileged to belong to such a caring community

Electoral Roll Officer Report 2022

The Roll is only a snapshot of people who have registered, and wish to register their commitment to the church, and are thus entitled to vote at the AGM. It is perfectly possible that more people are committed, and attend both churches but have chosen not to register. The Roll has been displayed as required by COE regulations. I have reviewed it and the reviewed Roll has been displayed on the Parish Website since May 12[th]

Safeguarding Report Wraxall with Failand

1. Safeguarding Incidents:

There have been no Safeguarding Incidents raised over the past reporting period that have required notification to the Diocesan Safeguarding Office.

2. Parish Dashboard:

The Parish Dashboard is a computer App that keeps account of individual parishes compliance with the Safeguarding standards set out by the Church of England. Access is limited to named individuals within a parish but can also be reviewed by the Archdeacon.

Progress through the Dashboard is staged and dependent on compliance with certain elements before movement to the next level which needs to be periodically reviewed by the

PCC. The Dashboard creates an automated Action Plan based on the information provided by the Safeguarding Officer. I have attached a copy of report so that it can be formally reviewed and noted in line with national policy. Actions are colour coded on the traffic light system.

You will notice there are a number of red, rest assured these are predominantly policy or practice documents that simply need to be subject of annual review rather than any issue involving risk. The two attached policies already have been subject of approval at PCC so simply need formally approving again.

With regards to the list of parish activities, is there anything significant that has been added in the past twelve months.

The one area where we remain in the red that needs some positive action is that of Safeguarding training by all members of the PCC. The national standard for PCC members, who do not have another role requiring any higher level of training, is completion of the Basic and Foundation e-learning modules and the separate Domestic Violence module. Both the Foundation course and the Domestic Violence module would need to be repeated on a three yearly basis. There would be no requirement to renew the Basic course.

3. DBS:

The renewal period for DBS checks will have reduced from five years to three years by the end of this year. I am currently contacting those that need an update in order to ensure the parish’s are compliant. The PCC remains compliant with regards to the proportion of members who require DBS clearance.

4. Safer Recruitment:

DBS is however only part of the Safer Recruitment process. There is a requirement recruiting personnel for specific roles , whether paid or voluntary roles, whether paid or voluntary, to have a minimum of two people who have completed the safer Recruitment e learning module, present on the interview panel. I am not aware as to who, if anyone has done so.

The ‘Dashboard’ makes reference to the requirement to complete a Safer Recruitment survey. I will endeavour to complete this before the next PCC; but would need to do so together with another, actively involved in the process.

Reference is made in the survey to Role Descriptions for specific voluntary roles, I am not

aware that these are in place for every role at this time, although some are . For those role profiles that I believe are not currently recorded sample role description are available from other dioceses. These will be reviewed and proposed at a future PCC meeting. It is important that there is appropriate consultation and agreement with

23

document such as these and they become a meaningful record rather than a tick box exercise.

5. Safeguarding Training:

Everyone performing a voluntary role within the Church of England is required to complete Basic Safeguarding Training. An e-learning module which can also be delivered in face

The training modules can be accessed via the following link: https://safeguardingtraining.cofeportal.org

Please can anyone completing and formal training provide me with details of that completed so that I can record it. Thank you for those who have done so.

Training needs to be renewed every three years, the highest level for your particular role is the module that needs to be completed. Anyone for whom the Domestic Violence module is

required, needs to also renew this one three yearly basis.

I am happy to facilitate group face to face group sessions of any of the e learning modules if people would prefer that option. I cannot however deliver the two-session leadership module. Details of course availability can be found on the diocesan safeguarding training page.

6. Social Media:

One of the standards highlighted in the Parish Dashboard, and seeking confirmation of compliance, is that all ‘Church Officers ‘must be aware of S12 of the Parish Safeguarding

Handbook. In essence to cover the use of Social Media such as the Parish WhatsApp group’.

The PCC must ensure there is a named person to whom all workers are accountable. The named person must be a church officer, and should be aware of the account name and password so that they can at any time log on to the account to monitor the communications. The named person should be proactive in fulfilling this role. Our WhatsApp group is very open and Church Officers have access and make regular use of it. They would be able to delete any offending message.

For your consideration,

Becky Cawsey Parish Safeguarding Officer Wraxall with Failand

Church Activities (Alphabetical order)

Children and Families Report 2022

At the beginning of the year, Schools were still being cautious and not having collective worship altogether in person as still quite a few children and staff were off with COVID.

In March, Wraxall School received a SIAMS inspection which went very well. Morey and Elize supported discussions that took place with the inspector.

Sunny Saplings was back on in the Cross Tree Centre and we welcomed some new families from the Reception Class.

Easter:

Morey, Elize and Sylvia took a Christingle/Easter Service with a difference in All Saints’ Church during the April. The church congregations were asked to donate Chocolate oranges and donations were also received from Tesco’s Nailsea for 80 Chocolate Oranges which were used to create Christingles for the service. Donations were made in school to The Children’s Society with around £60 being raised. The children presented some Easter Art installations in the church based on the key events from the Easter Story.

Crème Eggs were collected for Wraxall School, Nailsea School Staff and extended to Nailsea Town Centre shop keepers in 2022 through the Nailsea Chaplains team.

Easter Saturday afternoon, we held an Easter Fun Day with various Easter Story activities taking place across the All Saints’ site. It was well attended and enjoyed by many (great feedback from school families to Elize). Saturday afternoon seemed a good time for families to attend.

CTINAD Holiday club due to take place in February half term was cancelled due to EJ’s family and herself being ill along with Charlotte having illness herself. Holiday club did run successfully in the first week of the Easter Holidays. Morey came and supported some of the sessions. Lots of fun, stories and relationships were built across the community.

Wraxall School:

Morey supported Wraxall School’s Leaver’s Service on the final week of term (EJ unwell). Morey and Elize were welcomed into school during the wellbeing week, wb 11th July to do some team/values challenges with Year 5/6 before they transitioned into their new schools/groups.

Key to Life:

Key to Life workshops were due to take place in March in the Nailsea schools including Wraxall, these sadly had to be cancelled over concerns with COVID still in existence. However the sessions did take place in the September. Elize led sessions at both Golden Valley and Wraxall School telling the story of the life of Jesus along with other members of the CTINAD volunteers. The children really enjoyed it and hopefully shared a retelling of the experience to their families.

The ‘Summer of Fun’ (free family sessions) took place during the summer (board games, parish walk, cricket and Fun day with BBQ). The first two sessions were not very well attended with children being looked after by family members or away on holiday. Cricket on Millennium Green was popular along with the Fun Day at All Saints.

The new Reception intake (7 children) Bible giving/welcome service was attended by all the parents in the class and followed with a BBQ in the Cross Tree Centre which was really enjoyable. EJ had great feedback from the parents, particularly one parent who enjoyed the songs/singing and reading their child a story from their bible that evening.

28

Passing of Queen Elizabeth II:

The children at Wraxall School attended two Friday afternoon reflection services in All Saints’ Church in remembrance and reflection of the queen’s passing. The children also stood outside to listen to the muffled bells the Friday following the queen’s passing played by the Wraxall Bell ringers.

Harvest:

The Children’s Service team (Morey/Sarah, Sylvia, Sharon and Elize) held a successful Harvest Service in October attended by all the school children, staff and quite a few parents. The Harvest collection amounted to 135kg, there was a greater participation from families this year with help of the Tesco cans of Baked Beans (donated by Tesco) which were an advertisement and added to additional foods brought in.

Seasonal Services in Schools and the Parish

Morey and Elize supported the school with the Remembrance Service on 11th. All children and some parents gathered around the memorial. Year 6 read some prayers.

Open the Book began taking assemblies in Wraxall School on every other month on Mondays led by Bev and Dave Kelly (dramatised bible storytelling).

First Monday of the Month coffee morning began in the September, attended by both school parents and church members.

Talks were held in November between Morey, Elize, the head teacher of The Downs School (Mrs Isaachsen) and Deputy (Mrs Payne) about how we could work together supporting their curriculum and other faith services in the future.

The Children’s Service team (Morey/Sarah, Sylvia, Sharon and Elize) held a successful Christmas Crib Service in December along with a Christmas service for Wraxall and Christingle Service for The Downs School.

Thank you to everyone who has supported and volunteered over the year. Your help is much appreciated as we continue to bless and serve our local community and families in the name of Jesus!

All Saints’ Churchyard Working Party Report

We have had continued support from the regular gang and the grass has been kept under control for most of the time. There have been occasions when rain stopped play and the grass continued to grow. The bench in the Jubilee garden became unsafe and has now been removed. Vegetation growth on the boundary walls was safely removed where practical. Big thanks to Meg for the tea coffee and cakes that keep us going.

Now looking forward to another summer of Churchyard activity. We always have room for anyone who would like to come and share this lovely social event on the 2nd Saturday of each month.

Bob Caton

Wraxall Entertainments Report

We give thanks for the events that have taken place over the past months a wonderful opportunity to share fellowship together.

Church yard working party supper an opportunity to say thank you and show our appreciation for all

29

the hard work and dedication to those who maintain our beautiful church yard.

Bishops and Clergy lunch.

Service of remembering.

Carol service.

Christmas Fayre was busy, it was good to have so many families join us this year.

Harvest Tea a time of fellowship delicious cakes and an opportunity once again to test our knowledge over a fun quiz.

Committee members Sue Irwin – Chair Eileen Oates – Secretary Iris Croome – Treasurer Caroline Watts, Jane Knight, Yvette Dunn and Brenda Coxell.

Flower Teams’ Report

Not a busy year but a changing year. We now use vases instead of a pedestal at the pulpit, for various reasons; flowers have become very expensive and we no longer are allowed to use oasis as it is not biodegradable. the cost of the new product and also not as easy to use, has caused us to rethink. Sadly our team are another year older , so weddings are off the list. We may at some point do a festival but no plans as yet. Christmas Easter, Harvest will still continue to be florally celebrated.

You may have noticed our pedestals and candle stands have been kindly renovated and look very good..Iris, Sue, Caroline, Maureen, Eileen, Sharon.

Julian Group Report

“Be still and know that I am God”

Julian Meetings foster the practice of contemplative prayer in the Christian tradition and are named after Julian of Norwich, a fourteenth-century mystic. They are for people of all denominations or none.

What is contemplative prayer? Contemplative prayer has been described as listening for God; opening ourselves to God.

Prayerful silence is greatly helped when two or three people are together, and this can complement our daily personal prayer.

Belonging to a group can be a source of help and encouragement. An opportunity to just BE.

We are a group of on average 9 ladies from several local churches who meet on the first Monday of each month at 2pm in the Charlton Chapel at All Saints church. (Men you are most welcome to join us)

The meeting starts with a short piece of meditative music, a brief reading which then leads into about 20 minutes of silence.

If you are not sure if it's for you I would encourage you to come along and "Taste and See".

Mother’s Union Report

We have enjoyed a good selection of speaker's Morey spoke on his time in Africa. Elize gave an insight into her Children's and Families work within the Church.

Clare Wilkinson told the meeting a little of her life and how she became a Magistrate.

Carol lead us in a Lent reflection and Communion in September. Iris arranged the Advent service with us all participating John provided the music for the Carols he also arranges the hymns for the short service at the meetings.

We joined in Deanery events Cathedral prayers at Wells. Service hosted by Yatton branched led by Rev Fran.

Coffee Morning and Lunches:

We held two fund raising events both well supported by the Church and fellow members. Especially the cream tea held for the Queen's Jubilee. The proceeds were used to support M.U projects.

An enjoyable outing to Kingston Seymour and Kenn where Rev. Fran was able to show us around her new "Homes". We finished with tea in the newly refurbished Church rooms at Kenn.

Our small group achieve great things always with good humour. Guests are always made very welcome to any meeting, we look forward to welcoming you.

Sue Irwin Branch Coordinator All Saints Wraxall plus 9 members

Time for Tea

We have continued to meet for “Time for Tea” every second Tuesday at 2-45 for 3 o’clock at the Cross Tree centre except for two occasions, one in January when all was cancelled due to very heavy rain in the morning, which of course stopped by the afternoon and August when the heat wave was just too much!

During tea we have enjoyed talks on “My time at Sea”, the Nailsea Foodbank, Railway signaling and Nick Carter talking of his time in Afganistan. Also several quizzes and pupils of Wraxall School entertaining us enthusiastically with Carols in December.

Due to rising costs we now ask for a voluntary levy of £3 instead of £2 from those attending and numbers have obviously varied rising to 19 on one occasion.

Wraxall Tower Report

Following a previous inspection, some minor maintenance work was carried out on the bells this year – replacement of some of the clapper bushes, and also of the tenor roller box. The work was carried out by Matthew Higby & Co Ltd. The bells are in good order. A first aid kit and an emergency light were installed in the tower.

Practices and service ringing resumed following the pandemic, following the usual pattern of Monday evening practices and service ringing at 9.30-10am on second and fourth Sundays. The bells were rung at five weddings and one funeral this year.

The ringers were honoured to ring the bells fully muffled after the announcement of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. They were then rung open at the proclamation of King Charles, and fully muffled again at the funeral of the late Queen. The experience of ringing the bells fully muffled was new to all the members of our band, despite our considerable collective age and experience!

We were delighted to welcome two new learner members at our tower – Sarah and Zoe. They are making splendid progress.

Deanery Synod Report (John Stevens)

Tuesday 22nd March

Held at Holy Trinity, Nailsea. Opening Worship was led by Caroline Mason, in the absence of Rev James Packman with Covid. The Minutes of the last meeting and the 2021 Deanery Accounts were approved. There was a presentation to Neil Wylie, on leaving his Deanery role. There was then a presentation on Enabling Ministries by Charlie Peer, Diocesan Head of Mission Support & Ministry Development. There were 3 main sections to this, namely Imagine what church could be, Consider who God is calling and Find the shape of ministry that fits.

Some key points were:

The aim is to find the shape of ministry that fits and to build on what is already happening. It will be different for different communities. Find what will give life to the community. After the presentation there were discussions in small groups, followed by a plenary session. Some concerns expressed:

Tuesday 7th June

A Deanery-wide meeting, held at St Andrew’s, Backwell. Opening worship was led by Martin Canning, Reader.

Rob Norman, Lay Dean, introduced Helen Weld, Diocesan Vocations Adviser, the guest speaker. Helen spoke on the topic of Exploring Your Calling, emphasising the Calling was not confined to Priest, Reader or other high profile work, but also included even the most ordinary jobs needed to be done in the Church.

After the presentation there was a panel session, the panel comprising 6 people from the Deanery involved in a selection of roles (Chaplain of Readers, Rector, Lay Worship Assistant, Reader, Churchwarden, Lay Pastoral Assistant). Each spoke briefly about the job that they did and then answered questions put to them by Helen:

Thursday 15th SeptemberA normal Synod meeting, held at Walton St Mary, Clevedon. The opening worship was led by Rev Noel Hector, and included prayers for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, recently deceased.

The minutes of the previous meeting were approved and we were asked if anyone wished to raise any AOB items at the end.

There was then a presentation by Rev Suzy Kirkham, Christ Church Clevedon, on 2 related projects, the Bereavement Journey and their Memory Club, a North Somerset Dementia Meeting Centre.

32

We then split into discussion groups (we were encouraged to sit with people not from our parish) to discuss the new Deanery Mission Plan. The aim was to identify things which we thought were best done by the Deanery, rather than Parishes, then to pick 3 of these which should be priorities for the new Deanery Plan and to think about how these could be implemented over the next 5 years. There was then a plenary session where the groups fed back what their priorities were.

Finally Sharon Matthews was commissioned as a Lay Pioneer.

Thursday17th November

The advertised subject was ‘What has Bath and Wells Diocese ever done for us?’ and was held at Christ Church Clevedon.

After the initial welcome and opening worship, Julia Hill, Diocesan Head of Deanery and Parish Support, and Claire Horton, Bath Archdeaconry Deanery Parish Development Adviser, gave a presentation about the Diocese. The Diocese is made up of 467 parishes, 24 of which are in Portishead Deanery. The Diocese provides support in those areas which are best handled together.

We were then invited to list all the areas in which we had experience of this support, both personally and as a Parish. We were then given a set of cards which listed the areas where the Diocese provides support and invited to compare these with the ones we had noted. There were many areas in which either we had not received support or were unaware that support was available.

During the plenary session which followed, some areas were noted in which the Diocese provides support, but which weren’t listed on the cards (electoral roll, website, cathedral, bishop). It was pointed out that not all support staff are in Wells, many provide specialist knowledge in addition to their normal role. Also there is a mixture of fully paid, part time and voluntary staff.

There were questions from the floor which included some on finance and the Parish Share. Julia said that the recent series of online finance presentations was the place where these questions should be asked. Portishead Deanery has the second highest Parish Share in the Diocese and it is currently paid at a level of 82.82%.

It was noted that Assistant Diocesan Secretary Peter Evans is our Deanery Accompanier and can be a first point of contact to connect people with Diocesan services.

Reps: Sue Irwin and John Stevens

Portishead Deanery Report 2022

We met four times as a Deanery this year; as usual, two of the meetings (June & November) were deanery-wide meetings which anyone could attend while the March & September meetings were full Synods.

March – We met at Holy Trinity Nailsea and the main item was a presentation by Charlie Peer, the Diocesan Head of Mission Support & Ministry Development, on Enabling Ministries This was followed by a lively discussion in breakout groups and then a plenary. We also said goodbye to our Deanery Youth Worker, Neil Wylie, who had been in post since 2008.

June – The venue for this meeting was St Andrew, Backwell and the subject for our June Deanerywide meeting was Exploring your Calling when our main speaker was Helen Weld, the Diocesan Vocations Adviser, and we also heard from a local panel of people who spoke of their experience of God calling them.

Also in June, Astrid Tiesema-Samsom and Rob Eastwood Dewing were commissioned as Co-Area Deans and Rob Norman was commissioned as Lay Dean, forming the Deanery Leadership Team.

33

September – We held our September Synod meeting at Walton St Mary Church Hall where we divided up into groups to look at a new Deanery plan to replace the one agreed by Synod in 2017. We also heard a presentation from Suzy Kirkham on the Good Grief Project and the Memory Project, both of which had been part-funded from the Deanery Mission Fund. We also commissioned Sharon Matthews as a Lay Pioneer.

November – The November Deanery-wide meeting had the slightly provocative title of What has Bath & Wells Diocese ever done for us? “and the main presentation was given by Julia Hill (Diocesan Head of Deanery & Parish Support) & Claire Horton (Bath Archdeaconry Deanery & Parish Development Adviser). This full presentation was followed by many questions from the floor!

We have enjoyed having Assistant Diocesan Secretary Peter Evans as our Deanery Accompanier. He has been present at most Mission and Pastoral Group meetings and Synods. From September, Claire Horton, the Bath Archdeaconry Deanery & Parish Adviser was also a guest at Synods and deanerywide meetings

During 2022 we were told by the Diocese that our Deanery had to lose 3 Stipendiary clergy posts over the next 5 years and that has been a subject at every meeting of the DMPG since. In 2023 we shall hold a special consultation Synod in April.

We want to express our gratitude to the clergy and officials of all the deanery churches for their hard work and commitment during this difficult year.

Disclosure Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight material problems. Give here brief details of any items that the examiner wishes to disclose. A loss was made in the year and there is no reason to believe that this will no continue in the short to medium term given the rate of inflation. However, ther appear to be sufficient assets to cover these assuming the level of income stay constant and costs can be managed or even reduced
