ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
REVIEW OFACTIVITIES
Extraordinary Events
l. At the beginning of 2024 the Bishop of Horsham visited and led a service of thanksgiving for the new
church floor which wa5 much enjoyed by the congregation. As part of the celebration a time capsule was
laid, via a trap door, and it is hoped that this will be opened in 2124. In addition, during the service
3 members of the church congregation were presented for confirmation.
2. In June 2024 Reverend Beverley Miles retired and the church congregation and local and wider community
enjoyed a number of events and services to celebrate hertime at StAugustine's. There were many written
and spoken expressions of thankfulnessforher hard work and dedicated ministry overthe previous 3 years
and these expre55ions were accompanied byseveral gifts. The whole communityjoined together in prayer
to wish Beverley and Michael a long and very happy retirement
3. An interre8num can prove a challenging time, but the PCC wa5 thankful forthe continuing involvement of
a large number of committed and active members of the congregation both lay and ordained. The church
has been greatly blessed by Reverend Stephen Caple, Canon David Tickner and Reverend Jean Sedgley
who have given up much of their time to take regular and special church services. The PCC was also very
appreciative of the advice, support and guidance that Reverend Stephen has provided at their meetings.
The whole church has been extremely grateful to them both for their help and ministry whilst in vacancy.
A parish profile was prepared and submitted to the diocese in August 2024 and the vacancy has been
advertised with a closing date of January 2025.
Live Streoming of Sunday Morning Services
The Sunday morning services continue to be live-streamed via 'YouTube' with the recording of the live
stream remaining available on that plafft)rm for later viewing. We greatly value our online congregation
who feel connected to the worship life of the church and. where known, we include them in our parish
communications.
Church Attendonce
There were 124 parishioners on the church electoral roll as atthe Annual Parish Meeting held on 21st April
2024. The average weekly attendance, counted during Ortober, was an average of 54 adults present on
each Sunday. The number of people viewing the on-line streamed Services was estimated to be
approximately 9 each week based on information from YouTube'. Significantly more tune in for special
services such as Remembrance and the Carol Service.
Review of the Year
l. The full PCC met in person 9 times during theyear. In addition, subgroups met and gave reports atfull PCC
meetings.
2. The Annual Parish Meeting on 21" April 2024 was held immediately after the Sunday morning service.
3. The teams e5tabli5hed previously under the five strands of sUPPOrt, worship, well-being, witness and
worship and discipleship are: community outreach, communications, eco, fabric. families and children
(FACT), finance, ministry, music, pastoral. safeguarding, tech and well-being. They have continued to meet
and to further the ministryand mission of the church. They also work on the mission action plan aims and
objectives as directed by the PCC and report backto each PCC meeting. In addition to PCC members, they

4. Our CO￿ worship every Sunday is a 10.00 am service of Holy Communion with the I" Sunday of the month
being a Worship for All Communion. In addition, we also offer a much-valued Thursday mornin8
communion service. On Harvest Festival and Remembrance Sundays, our communion service was held in
the evening to enable us to provide a more accessible service to the community as a whole and the church
was full on both occasions.
5. During the year. additional services continued to be offered on most Sunday evenings and these were
reviewed and developed as the year progressed. On the I" Sunday of the month a special prayer Space is
offered and, on the 2. and 4th Sundays, we have Gateway sessions which facilitate discussion and prayer.
Attendance at these services has been encouraging and has increased during the year.
6. Throughout 2024 the eco team has kept this agenda a prominent part of church life. They work closely
with Scaynes Hill Sustainability Group to ensure that St Augustine's is part of the villase's eco ethos. In
September 2024 the team organised a very successful Living Lightly Day in the church and annexe which
was very well-attended and thoroughly enjoyed by members of the local and wider community. It a150
attracted interest from local businesses. In addition, the eco team has continued to work towards
achieving the A Rocha gold standard. There was also a prayer focus throughout COP29 by the team and
church congregation.
7. Our monthly Funday Monday afternoon for families of pre-school and primary-aged children is a
partnership initiative with St Augustine's School. These afternoons have proved popular not just with
families from the school but also generallywith families in the village. There are usuallyaround 30 children
at each session together with their parents or carers. It includes crafts, activities, bible-based stories and
culminates in a freshly cooked hot meal. Funday Monday also includes an activity morning in both the
Easter and Summer holidays. The Christingle which was celebrated as part of a Funday Monday session
attracted 39 chlldren and 24 adults.
8. There are currently very few children who attend on a Sunday morning but there are activities available
should any attend with their parents or grandparents. On Tuesday mornings our coffee Shop has attracted
several grandparents with theiryoung grandchildren which has developed a strongfellowship between all
the children and grandparents.
9. Our relationship with St Augustine's Church of England Primaryschool has continued to develop positively
through our "Growing Partnership" covenant which is signed annually by one of the school pupils and a
churchwarden. Pupils at St Augustine's greatly enjoy the Open the Book" assemblies which are delivered
in school approximatelytwice per month. Ourtwo foundation governors are also a great source of support
to the school.
10. From the beginning of the Autumn term 2024 -Drop Off and Drop In" sessions have been offered to
St Augustine s School parents to provide them with the opportunity to get together and chat over coffee
and cake on a Thursday morning after school drop off at 8.45 am. These have been well-received by a
number of parents and there is a core group who attend each week.
11. Much care and attention has been given to the safeguarding of young people and vulnerdble adults within
our community and this is embedded into our procedures with regular reports to PCC from the
Safeguarding Officer. The PCC has fully complied with its duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and
Clergy Discipline Measure 2016, fully recognising the duty to have due regard to House of Bishops,
guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adult5.
12. Care for everyone in our community has remained a priority in 2024 with much support from members of
the congregation and particularly from the well-being and community outreach teams. When we have
been made aware of specrfic needs during the year the welcoming and inclusive nature of our fellowship
has enabled us to respond with generosity and compassion e.g. financial and practical support to families
during crisis, support durin8 acute illness, on-going support during declining health, taking people to
appointments and supporting our young people at university.

13. Many in the congregation, and otherswithin the local community, generously give their time to be artively
involved in all our work by volunteerin8 and helping out at many of the different events and activities
undertaken during 2024 including the Anchor Coffee Shop, the Living Lightly Day and the Book and Plant
sale.
14. In 2024, three members of the congregation were licensed in Chichester Cathedral as ALM'S {Authorised
Lay Ministers) having taken the pastoral. rural mission and ministry and the leading small groups elective5.
15. At St Augustine's we believe it is an important part of who we are as a worshipping communityto promote
and support the work of organisations whose aims are to make a difference in the world. We do this
because we believe in a God who is generous to us and who wants us to be generous in return. We help
our organisations by giving them: attention, action, time, practical support, resources, money and
commitment- according to what is appropriate to their needs. In 2024, we chose to support the following
organisations, according to the 5 marks of mission criteria, so that we can meet a wide range of priorities:
St Augustine's School, Chichester Diocesan Association for Family Support Work, St Peter and St James's
Hospice, Practical Action, Open Doors, Wheelsfortheworld, Off the Fence, Haven Trust, Careforveterans,
Safe in Sussex, Raystede Animal Shelter, The Children's Society and The Royal British Legion. In a tight
financial climate the monetary contributions made were following a mission focussed programme during
Lent and via the eco table in the church annexe and half the Anchor Coffee Shop proceeds.
16. Our churchwardens and fabric team maintain the physical assets in the care of the PCC; the PCC is
confident that all resources used contribute to the common good.
17. Where maintenance work to church assets is required, which is beyond the safe ability of volunteers to
undertake, the PCC uses monies from grants, the fabric fund and special appeals to employ appropriate
contractors under the professional control of the retained architect to carry out the required works.
18. During 2024 there were 5 baptisms of children, 4 confirmations. 5 funerals and 4 interments of ashes in
the Memorial Garden.
19. St Augustine's Church is registered with the Anglican Society for the Welfare of Animals as an animal
friendly church. We aim to promote a compassionate attitude towards all God's creation and are very
proud to be part of this important initiative. Working alongside the eco team we believe we are helping
God's creation. The pet memorial in the front garden of the church, where bereaved owners can write
their pet's name on a pebble and place it in the garden. continues to be well-used by the local community.
In addition, our Animal Chaplain has met and prayed with owners and sUPPOrted them in the loss of their
pet.
