The Revd Canon Dr Jennifer Strawbridge continued as an assO￿ate priest at st Andrew's In a Non-
Stipendlary Ministry {NSMI capacity. Mthr Ginny Thomas and Fr Gordon Jeanes, our retired clergy, are
licensed.to officiate and have taken on addilional services during the interregnum. We have been
supported by Hollie Goodwin, Parish Intem, who has contributed to Young Church and been an
invaluable support at services.
For the first 9 months of the year the Parish was in interregnum. The PCC records its thanks to
Mthr Jenn who.throughout this period ensured that for nearly all services clergy were available to
sustain the nomial pattern of worship at St Andrews. In addition, the PCC records its especial
thanks to Mthr Ginny and Fr Gordon for their willingness to cover much of this workload and to the
Wardens, upon whom fell the lask of covering so much during this period.
We had a stipendiary assislanl curale. Fr Luk8 Norman, who was formally licensed to the parish
until 15 September 2025, though offered ministry on placement elsewhere in the deanery during
the spring and surnmer months. We thank Fr Luke and his f8mily for all they brought to the parish In
ministy and mission during his time as curate, and wish him well as he begins a new ministry as a
chaplain in the Royal Navy.
The PCC was very pleased to welcome Mthr Emma Hopegood Jones as our new vicar from 17th
Seplember 2025 in a gervice full of music and rejoicing. Mthr Emma has brought a wealth of energy
and experience back into the parish. We also were pleased to welcome in September our new
Parish Intem for 2025-2026 Academic year, Adrian Burble, and glve Ihanks for the minlstry he has
offered afflong us.
The PCC and clergy work to offer a range of seNices during the week and over the course of the
year that our community find both beneficlal and splritually fulfllling. For example, morning and
evening prayer provide a quiet, intimate and reflective environmenl for daily worship. while school
seNlces at Harvest Festival. Christmas, Easter and end of school year maintain links with St
Andrew's Church of England Sch(K)I pupils and parents.
In addtlion to the Sunday Eucharists {8 a.rri. BCP, 10 a.m. Common Worship), there are normally
Eucharists on Monday and Wednesday momings, although not all of these were possible during th8
interregnum. Th8re is an additional Sung Eucharist on weekday FestThials. The offices of Morning
and Evening Prayer are said daily except on Saturdays and Sundays.
The service of remembrance and refiection (introduced in 20151. on the Sunday afternoon closest
to All Souls. Day, strengthens the pastoral and Itturgical relationship with funeral families. Publicity
for these services includes targeted mailings using the Contacts database which is GDPR
compllant.
Following the electoral roll revtsion Ihere are 93 parishioners on the Church. Electoral Roll. The
average Sunday attendance (counted during October 20251 was 63 adults and 10 children110
adults for w88kday masses).
As well as our regular services. we enable ourcommunity to celebrate and to thank God atth6
mllestones of the joumey through life. During 2025 we celebrated 8 baptisms, 4 weddings, and 6
funerals. 6 sets of cremated remains were interred in the churchyard.

Young Church come to encounter God and learn more of the SCTiPtures, and follow a. pattern which
reflects the liturgy of the word, with scripture and prayer as in grown-up church. Godly Play was
introduced in Autumn 2025 to support this. The Young Church Garden is used lo help young people
understand God's creation through the planting, germination, growth and haNesling of plants and
the role that insects and other animals have in assisting that growth. This activty also shows how
the growth and religious cycle and calendar synchronise.
Sl Andrew's church is very fortunate to enjoy the seTvices of a dedicated and energetlc Director of Music
under whom the Choir continues to thrive. The Dom is an experienced liturgist arbd has, for 8 number of
years. produced monthly music lists which not only show the Mass Setting to be used at the weekly
Parish Eucharist but also the hymns, the weekly choir anthem and Ihe voluntaries to be played before and
after the service, all of which tie to the lectionary readings.
We are veryfortunate to enjoy Ihe piano being played during comrnunion each week. and thank our
pianists for this ministry of music.
In addition to his role as the organist, the Dom has organlsed 6 concerts during the year whlch have been
gtven by final year students of the Royal Academy of Music., Brookes university has given a further 2
concerts. the organ has been used for the Oxford Music Festival organ class. two local district organists,
associations have visited the church- a masterclass on the Orgelbuchlein by JS Bach was given by James
Lancelot, fomerly organist of Durham Cathedral for over 30 years-, and an evening of Italian opera has
been perfomied.
