## **Incumbent Report for Benefice Annual Meetings 2023 ( reporting on the year 2022)** 

Incumbent report for the year 2022 (2023 APCM) 2022 brought with it the usual mixture of celebration, challenge, activity and of course change. Some of this we have ridden and met in exemplary fashion. Some we have less so. We have learned and developed in many ways. Whilst in some instances we have seen that there is some work still to do. The year included, in no particular order, the following: • The longawaited pastoral measure around the deanery took effect with the benefice now officially and legally being known of as “The Benefice of Greenways” and the benefice also legally becoming an incumbency. • St Pauls church building was closed for the first 6 months of the year with worship taking place in the church hall whilst reordering works were completed, reopening in the early summer. • Online worship offerings (through St Paul’s Facebook and YouTube channels) became the weekly norm, where possible, and when vulnerable or younger generations are not up front and visible. • Work with the younger generations and families continued to be an important focus, displayed by the continuing financial support in fullness of the costs of a youth minister through the St Paul’s accounts despite other financial pressures. • Missional activities such as engagements with schools, seasonal services in person, Christmas fayres, light parties, messy church and other activities all resumed post covid restrictions. • Occasional offices increased. • The Rector remains a supporter and trustee of RISE. • During the early months of the year, we traversed from 3 clergy to 1 as our associate minister Dave Kilmister retired and our curate Tom Hunton moved into his first incumbency. • The Benefice supported 3 people as they stepped out in ministry for God by being licensed as lay ministers in the autumn. • The Rector assumed the role of Assistant Area Dean for Chippenham Deanery in the summer. • The continued emergence from covid provided challenges to be overcome. For example during this year we returned to the

common cup in communion, for those who felt safe in doing so. • Finance proved challenging for all three worship centres. Not just building projects and furtherance of missional activities. But also income affected by the covid years, personnel changes in the congregations, and other factors such as the cost of living crisis. I am committed to the provision of worship through all three worship centres, including the encouragement and equipping of others to facilitate this when licensed folk are unavailable. I am committed to promote and equip the communities of St Nicholas Hardenhuish, St Peters Langley Burrell and St Paul Chippenham to become all they can be. I am committed to encourage and equip shared leadership across the parishes at all levels possible. I am committed to work at succession planning in all areas of church life. I am committed to focus on the main event of proclaiming the name of Jesus Christ and the Good News of the Gospel to those around us. Shalom Si Rector Greenways Benefice 

## **Diocesan Synod Report 2022** 

The Diocesan Synod is a group of voices from across the Diocese that help shape the direction the Bishop will move the Diocese, providing advice and consent as a representative body of laity and clergy from across the 200+ churches in the Diocese. 

This year has seen some discussion on more technical and legal issues such as the Deanery Synod election formula and Church representation rules 

Budgets, but also on far more 'applicable issues' such as the impact of the cost-of-living crisis, and continuing discussions around Living in Love and Faith.

We debated and passed a motion from Bristol West Deanery regarding the impact of the declaration by the Diocese of a Climate Emergency - a reminder that suggestions that come from even a DCC can make changes at all levels in the Church structure as they are moved upwards from parish to Deanery to Diocese, and sometimes even on the General Synod level. Your voice really can count in the CofE! 

Much of the year has spent time in meetings discussing, debating and shaping the "Transforming Church. Together" new strategy for the Diocese. 

all papers are available on the Diocese website (https://www.bristol.anglican.org/news?tagid=7). please do ask me any questions you may have - I am _your_ representative, so I need to hear your voice to take with me!

## **Chippenham Deanery 2022** 

The Deanery Synod is a representative body of laity and clergy from across the Chippenham Deanery, covering 7 Benefices in the area: Marshfield, Lidbrook, ByBrook, Greenways, Greater Corsham, St Peters and St Andrews. 

This year I took up the role as Deanery Lay Chair, to support our Area Dean, Rev Sally Wheeler, vicar of Marshfield Benefice.

The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell Part 2 –Life at St Paul’s 

In our meetings across the year we heard talks from Bishop Lee about Living in Love and Faith, and from Dick Spencer around Ecochurch and the 'greening' of our parishes. 

We have had updates on our links with Uganda, spent time praying together for Ukraine, and celebrating those taking up lay roles in the Deanery. 

We spent a lot of time discussing the impact of the Diocesan strategy "Transforming Church. Together", and considering the way ahead for our Deanery - more will follow during 2023 as the impact and way ahead becomes clearer

## **Music Report 2022** 

When writing last year’s report I mentioned that the bible only speaks of making a ‘joyful noise to the Lord’. Well we have certainly done that over the last year. Although we have some very able musicians I think we would all agree that we are not the most ‘polished’ of worship groups. I do feel however, and have had much feedback to this, that we are all putting our utmost into leading the congregation in worship to the best of our abilities and this is releasing those worshiping with us. 

We have grown in confidence and ability over the last year and had others join the team. It is a joy to have one of the teenagers play drums with the main group on occasions. The youth have their own band who have led sung worship during All Age services and we continue to encourage them to join with us. 

11 



The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell Part 2 –Life at St Paul’s 

During the service in October that marked our 1 year anniversary as a team it was great to hear Testimonies from Mike Smith and Becky O’Brien about how joining the music group had had a positive impact in their walk with God. I am encouraged that we continue to be a supportive and loving group who appreciate what a privilege it is to lead people in worship. 

Thanks go to all the team, singers and musicians, for such faithful and supportive team work over the past year. We look forward to how God will lead us over the next year. If anyone else would like to join us, especially any guitarists or drummers, please speak to Andrew Rose or Jacqui Dymel. 

## **Prayer Ministry 2022** 

This year we have been able to resume prayer ministry after morning services. Now that the next stages of re-ordering have been completed, we are able to offer prayer in a dedicated quiet space. This is a space where you can light a candle, pray quietly at any time the church is open and to receive prayer ministry; during or after services. 

We have expanded our prayer team and hope to have some more new members as we move forward. All the team are DBS checked, have undergone Safeguarding training and are experienced in offering prayer. 

We have a Prayer Team who offer prayer on a regular basis; however please remember we can all pray and I would encourage you all to pray for and with each other as the need arises. 

The Prayer Chain remains a good source of support for more general open prayers. Be aware this is a more general list of people who pray.

## **St Paul’s Church Mission Support 2022** 

St Paul’s Church has traditionally supported Mission and the Church Mission Society (CMS) and Church Mission Partners with prayer and financial support. This has been historically through an element of the Church tithe, which has supported both the CMS General Fund and our Mission Partners. In 2022 this payment from the Church tithe was done electronically direct from the Church account and details will be found therein. 

Our Mission partners 

Garry Ion - CMS Partner After 25 years of mission and development work in East Africa and South Sudan, Garry has come full circle, returning in 2020 to his home county of Cumbria and city of birth, Carlisle, supporting his ageing parents who live in Penrith, working in the community with the local church. 

13 



The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell Part 2 –Life at St Paul’s 

He is working with the Diocese of Carlisle and their charity 'Restore Cumbria', part of their vision for innovative mission that is bearing fruit. He is excited to be involved in holistic mission using practical skills to come alongside people and share the gospel. 

## Katia Rocks: - CMS Partner 

Katia is our mission partner in Florianoplis, Brazil. In her recent link newsletter, she gave an insight into one area she has been involved with recently. Katia also visited the church in February 2023 

I’ve started to volunteer in a project that our church supports. It is called Familia de Cristo 

(Christ’s Family), and they have a recovery centre where the homeless and people with addictions can be supported to recover and find a new life. We go out every week to the streets of Florianópolis to distribute hot drinks and food, and also to talk and pray with the homeless. Since I’ve started volunteering there, I’ve heard so many beautiful testimonies of restoration and new life in Jesus from the people who are living at the recovery centre now, and also from those who have already left it and are now working, or are preparing to lead churches or even get married. So many amazing stories that left me in awe of what Jesus is doing. 

Gillian Rose: 

Gillian is a church Mission Partner in Bangladesh. Formerly a member of St Paul’s, she moved in 1995 to Bollobhpur Hospital, near the Indian border, as a qualified nurse and midwife. She is now the Nursing Director and is involved in the training of student nurses. 

During 2022, in addition to the Church Tithe, £590 was given to Gillian Rose and £320 to Garry Ion from donations from individuals. 

14 



The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell Part 2 –Life at St Paul’s 

We should hold our Mission Partners in our thoughts and prayers as they give evidence of God’s love for the communities in which they serve and we continue to pray for their safety 

Finally, we should acknowledge the work and dedication of John & Sue Hartley in recent years to act a focal point for the individual donations and for promoting our links with our mission partners. Thank you Sue & John for what you have achieved, it is appreciated.

## **- Créche (0 3 years) 202** 

There is currently no ‘staffed’ crèche running during the church service. The facility is open with toys available for people to use at any time during the services. 

## **- Sparks (0 5 years) 2022** 

Sparks is a church outreach baby and toddler group for children 0-5 years old and their careers. Our aim is to take opportunities to share the Christian message with everyone who comes to SPARKS through our actions and words. This is obviously done with gentleness and respect and includes encouraging people to come along to Messy Church and seasonal Church celebrations. It is a popular group, run on a weekly basis and is very well attended. Approximately 18 families come to SPARKS each week, (this equates to 24 children and 22 adults on average), and none of whom regularly attend St. Pauls church. Over the last year we have seen 94 different families. 

15 



The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell Part 2 –Life at St Paul’s 

Each week we have a craft activity, lots of toys for the children to play with, while carers can socialise with each other and we serve them each a hot drink. After an hour of this we have a snack time for the children followed by a bible story time and some songs. 

What makes us unique to other toddler groups around the town, we are free, and they do not have to sign up or have a limited amount of space. Anyone can turn up. Parents find Sparks to be a friendly and relaxed atmosphere where they can attend on a casual basis. Because there is no sign up or limit on spaces it means we do see a variation of numbers week to week and some people who can only come once or twice a month know they can come when it fits around there family life. 

We have seen lots of families from Sparks engage with messy church, Christmas fair and older siblings join Spy. 

Leaders involved in 2022; Becky Meilton Simon Dunn, Ness Cooper, Mel and Mike Smith, Ann Showering, Ron Pool and Diane Hopper, Jacqui Dymel and Eve Cale 

## **Active8 Report 2022** 

2022 found us meeting again in person which was great, the first part of the year we met fortnightly due to Sunday services being held in the hall whilst the Church had the pews taken out once the Church was open again we reverted back to our term time morning sessions. This year we welcomed a young boy from the Ukraine into Activ8 as his family are staying with one of our Church families. The situation in the Ukraine spurred the children into wanting to do something to help so they organised and a sale to be held after a Church service in June. They made crafts and cakes and were well supported by members of the congregation who generously gave over £360 which was sent to 

16 



The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell Part 2 –Life at St Paul’s 

help the situation in Ukraine. This activity showed how all the children worked really well together as a team. 

During the year we also  did a junior alpha course looking at various topics such as the Bible, who is Jesus and worship. We had great conversations with the children and when it came to the talk all about mission they had some good ideas about how they could be more involved in Church life such as being part of youth services and having special days where they can invite their friends such as a nerf war and hot dogs! This has led to a new group being formed which will be opening in 2023 for years 3 to 5. 

At present in the Church we do not have a large number of families so this means that our numbers in Active8 are quite low. But we are well supported and the children enjoy coming to the sessions and being together. 

The Active8 leaders are Ness Cooper, Gemma Durnell Mary Fitzmeilton and Faith Ward. We are also assisted by Meinda Biro, Sophie Oldacres, Julie Townsend and Tanya Withers and we extend our grateful thanks to them. 

## **Messy Church** 

We brought back after covid Messy church this year having not run many regularly during covid. 

We have worked closely alongside those at St Nicholas church. 

We ran an Easter trails with crafts and story at St Nicholas church. We had around 20 families attend. 

As an alternative to Halloween we throw a light party. It was meant to be a light trial around the wood at St Nicholas again but due to poor weather it got moved an hour before the even to St Pauls Church. We 

17 



The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell Part 2 –Life at St Paul’s 

had around 45 families attend. We had a lot of people come in who were trick or treating to shelter from the rain, and they ended up staying the whole time. 

At Christmas Messy church team provided some craft stalls for the Christmas fair.

## **Youth Team Report 2022** 

Throughout the year 109 different young people attended one or more of our regular term time church youth (11-18 year old) groups. (Immerse, Spy, Ignite and God Squad). 

This year’s focus was on continuing rebuilding up the groups and communities since the pandemic. We have seen our average numbers in groups reach similar levels to before pandemic in 2019. 

## **SPY** 

Spy is a group aimed at years 6 to 9 (age 10-14). This group is for young people to come and have some fun in an evening filled with games, activities, lots of mess and a place to make friends. We also have a 5- minute slot where we have a discussion about topics which are relevant to them and use that time for leaders to share a bit of their faith. 

We have had an average 26 to each session this year and 74 different young people, plus five 14-year-old young leaders. 

18 



The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell Part 2 –Life at St Paul’s 

A majority of the young people who attend were from outside the church. We have carried on seeing a lot of the young people who attend Sheldon and Hardenhuish coming to Christian Union Lunch Clubs I run after they have started coming to Spy. 

Leaders involved in 2022; Becky Meilton, Charlie Meilton, Jonny Cooper, Judith Eckersley, Lucy Dunn, Robyn Byatt, Ness Cooper, Naomi Elkerton, Sophie Oldacres 

## **Ignite** 

Ignite is a youth church which meets on a Sunday evening during term times for those in Secondary school years (age 11-18). The group is made up from young people from St Pauls Church and a few from other churches or non-churched young people. This group has links with Station Hill Baptist, with a number of the leaders coming from there who help. 

This year we looked at a range of topics. We ran a series based on if you could ask God any question what it would be. Each young person wrote a question which we tried to answer over a term. We also looked at different people from the bible and what we can learn from them, alongside a whole other range of topics. 

We have seen the young people really grow in confidence and have started leading worship. At least once a month we have a young person’s band, and by the end of the year some of the young people were doing the occasional one in small groups without any leader input. 

Ignite had 47 different young people attend over the year with an average attendance of 15 young people each week. 

19 



The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell Part 2 –Life at St Paul’s 

Leaders involved in 2022; Becky Meilton, Nick and Julia Childerhouse, Chantal Bryan, Charmaine and Naomi Elkerton, Jonny Cooper, Sophie Lambert, Josh Hallett and Sophie Lambert . 

## **God Squad** 

God Squad meets on Thursday evenings. They meet at the start of the year 3 out of 4 weeks, but this was reduced in September to every other week to make for a new group for children being created. The group is for those in school year 10-13 (14-18yrs). They have a chance to explore their faith and the Bible a bit deeper. This year we finished a Bible Society bible course, the young people took it in turns to choose a subject for a few weeks and the end of the year we started a series going through the book of Acts. We would also spend time socialising by doing things like go on walks, a meal out together, fire pits and a quiz night. God Squad meets in a different leaders house each week. 

14 Young people attend over the year, with an average of 5 to each session. 

Leaders involved in 2022; Becky Meilton, Elaine Jones, Sophie Lambert, and Chantal Bryan 

## **Immerse** 

Immerse is for those who are in school years 7-11 (ages 11-16), during the 10am Church service. 

We meet in the small hall except during the building on church when we met in the office. At the start of 2022 we went through the gospel of Mark for a term, then we used a video series NUA looking at the foundations of our faith, and then looked at the 5 marks of missions alongside the church. 

20 



The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell Part 2 –Life at St Paul’s 

Throughout the year we had 23 different young people attend with an average of 9. The average number does not fully reflect the number of 11-16 year olds in the church, as very often there will be 2 or 3 on the media desk, worship band, assisting the BSL interpreter or helping in Activ8, which we really encourage! 

The biggest challenge we faced in this group has been a struggle to have enough leaders to run it, but by the end of the year our team had grown from 3 to 6. 

Leaders involved in 2022; Becky Meilton, Hannah Holden, Jonny Copper, Phil Townsend, Hugh Webber and Becca Childerhouse for helping run it this year. 

We also had a few different quiz and games nights. 

Having a social once or twice a month we did see our numbers pick up slightly in the regular groups. 

Trips and One off events 

It was very hard to plan any trips or events as restrictions changed so regularly we had to cancel things. But we did get a few things online and in the summer in person. 

· Good Friday Event – We were online, so we had a number of sessions throughout the day on zoom for people to join in with. We started with a prayer breakfast, and then had a cupcake decorating session, which told the story of Easter. Then in the evening a games night. 

21 



The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell Part 2 –Life at St Paul’s 

## **Monthly Youth Band practice** 

We started a monthly group meeting on a Friday after school for a few hours for those who want to learn play worship together. They can come with any musical ability, and just have a go playing together. 

We originally set it up, as after covid we no longer had an Ignite worship band. And none of the young people felt comfortable to play together or in front of other people. 

The group has no pressure to play in Ignite or Church, but we have seen that almost all of them who come choose then to be a part of the band in some form. 

Leaders involved in 2022; Becky Meilton, Jonny Copper and Julia Childerhouse 

## **Youth Lead Services** 

The aim is to have 3 youth led 10am Sunday services a year. We didn’t run one while church met in the hall so we had services in July and December. 

The young people plan and run the whole service and have complete control of what they do. 

July – The young people lead the service looking at different food in the bible. 

December – Nativity service thinking about how different people around the world celebrate Christmas. 

22 



The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell Part 2 –Life at St Paul’s 

## **Trips and One off events** 

This year we saw fewer activities in the school holidays due to a smaller group involved with youth work. It was decided not to stretch leaders so thinly so nothing ran to give leaders a break or a chance to prepare for the term ahead. 

However we still did do trips and events thought the year; 

Movement worship night- A 10 young people from Ignite to Malmesbury Abbey to join in with a worship night designed for young people. 

Community day – We had 26 people help with a community action day, were we picked up litter and help clean and garden at the Rise Children Centre. 

The Beacon - A group of 30 went away for a weekend to the Beacon at Lee Abbey. The group was a wide mix of ages 10-18 and from across all for our church youth groups. It was a fantastic weekend filled with lots of activities like archery, climbing, exploring the beach, and a zip wire. And some time thought out the weekend to reflect and think about God and who he has made us to be. 

Laser Quest – We took 25 young people from mostly Spy to Laser Quest. 

Meal at prezzo – A Group of 7 from God Squad went out for a meal to celebrate the end of the school year 

BBQ Lydiard Park – Also to celebrate the end of the school year a group of 22 of us went to Lydiard Park and had a BBQ followed by some games and a walk.

## **Schools and college Work Report** 

In both Hardenhuish and Sheldon secondary schools we run a lunch time club Christian Union. 

In both schools some of those who attend are from St Paul’s church, or attend SPY. In both schools it is about 50/50 split to those with or without a faith. 

A normal session normally has a game or activity loosely linked to a topic, and then a 5-10 minute deeper activities or talk to get them thinking about a faith issue. Lots of time is given to building relationships within the group, and they need time to relax and eat lunch as it is there lunch break. 

The Christian unions have a team of us from a number of churches going into them; they have consisted of; Naomi Elkerton (NWMA) Sophie Lambert (Station Hill), Becky Meilton (St Pauls) Lisa Wakefield (St Pauls) and Dan Ovens (Corsham Baptist church) 

## **Sheldon School** 

We averaged about 17 each week. And have had about 25 different young people though out the school year. 

## **Hardenhuish School** 

We had a slow start of the year and then in March we started the month with 4 coming one week and 3 weeks later we had grown to 26 and our numbers then remained consistently high since then. 

We averaged 18 over the year with around 40 different young people having come over the year. 

24

## **Lesson;** 

· I was invited to go into Sheldon to do lessons as part of the relationship lesson they do in Year 10 once again this year. This consisted in 10 double lessons. 

· Simon and I we also invited to Carter school to do a lesson for year 4s, for them to ask us questions about church. 

## **School Church Visits** 

· At Christmas we had Hardenhuish School music department come and put on their carol service for parents. 

· Silverwood School was meant to be come to the church for their nativity but as it was snowing, myself and Simon went to the school to join in with them there. 

· Hardenhuish year 7s Christmas end of term celebration was held in the church. 

· St Pauls Primary school so did their Christmas carol service with the school and parents in the church.

## **HOPE Annual Report 2022** 

The last 12 months has been a busy period for HOPE seeing the successful completion of the Phase 1 reordering which, thanks be to God, came in £30k under budget. There was a huge effort from the team to get the updated church multimedia and sound system ready for services to restart in July. A £100k Diocesan loan, taken out in June, 

25 



The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell Part 2 –Life at St Paul’s 

covered cash flow issues and funded new chairs. Current congregational HOPE giving is committed to repaying the loan. 

A new name, The HOPE Centre, encompassing the Church and large/small church halls, was chosen to help communicate the vision for the wider use of the buildings. A new HOPE Centre Team has been launched to support the Benefice Office in making the HOPE Centre run smoothly. A new St Paul’s website, incorporating the HOPE Centre, was launched in the run up to Christmas. 

Two community events, the West End Has Faith concert and a Charity Thank You Lunch were held to test out procedures and to welcome new people into the building. Charity workers requested a follow-up networking event in Spring 2023. Much has been learnt from holding these events, in conjunction with the Wardens’ work and clear DCC policy decisions. 

The benefits of the flexible church space have already been seen through use by church youth groups, an impromptu Church Light Party, Messy Church, Christmas Fayre and a wedding Ceilidh (Kaylee J) 

The CoffeeClub moved into Church and is now open weekly as a Community Warm Space. It is supported by a growing number of church volunteers and is used by a mixed group of up to 30 church and non-church members. 

Future HOPE plans include opening the church more often, unmanned (with insurance cover) with information to assist personal reflection and prayer as well as information on church groups/activities and building history. There is also DAC approval for an additional toilet and revamped servery to support larger events in Church.

## **St Pauls Eco Church Report 2022** 

## **Eco-Church review 2022** 

This is the first time an Eco-Church report has appeared for the Annual Parish Council Meeting. 

## **Volunteer Team** 

A new team of volunteers gathered during 2022, Lorna and John Neale, Sue and John Hartley, Jane Humphries, Nicola Beale, Faith Ward, Jen Firth, Chris Jones, Peter Maidment, Stephen Cozens. The Council and Wardens and our Rector are kept informed of progress.  (There is space for you to join in too…) 

## **The Light of Christ in all this** 

We have worked together to begin to understand the challenges that the climate emergency brings to our personal doorsteps and church communities, and how shining the light of Jesus Christ into topics around “eco church” will change outlooks and outcomes. 

## **Diocese and ARocha** 

We welcomed the Diocese eco adviser to see the Hope space and reflect with us about our plans and support available. More information on this is available from the Diocese web pages https://www.bristol.anglican.org and at https://arocha.org.uk/what-we-do/eco-church/ 

ARocha is a charity that equips churches to care for creation through their eco church programme. We are working together towards a bronze award-and you have a significant part to play too.

## **Collaboration and teamwork** 

As a small group we are working with our Church Councils and Trustees to meet the various goals set by the Diocese, overtime. 

## **Small Steps** 

In the past year you will have seen changes around the churchyard - as create a welcoming space for our community that is propagator friendly, offering a place to visit, rest a while, contemplate and be still. 

Significant volunteer time has been invested renovating metal work around the estate, removing ivy and dead branches safely. Cutting hedges on the roadside and gathering up rubbish from around the estate. 

A formal report on the condition of the trees will be prepared for the Wardens in early 2023, to form part of our preparations for the five year - quinquennial inspection due soon. 

## **External Agencies working together with us.** 

Working with the Community Payback Team we changed the churchyard mowing programme, allowed areas of grass to grow throughout the summer. 

(We received a range of feedback from the community and have taken this onboard for the future.) 

Various areas were also cleared for seed planting and a planting timetable to include seven fruit trees to commemorate Her late 

Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s reign and the coronation of King Charles is ongoing. 

Plans are also afoot for the construction and introduction of bug hotels created by our young people for the church yard. 

## **Formal Ecology Policy** 

28 



The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell Part 2 –Life at St Paul’s 

A formal Ecology Policy for church guidance and action is being prepared to guide our journey in this area of mission and outreach. 

## **Sharing plans and information** 

We will continue to keep church informed and up to date with developments through the notice sheet and welcome new volunteers to join us and take some of the strain. Please ask any questions our team will be glad to field these and we will offer the best answers that we are able. 

_Thank you for being part of the EcoChurch change through St Pauls._

St Pauls continues to operate a Warden team to carry out the responsibilities of the role. Sadly, due to illness, Maria Rose had to step down in the later part of 2022 and we would like to thank her for her faithful service. John Dymel has continued as the legal warden helped by Jacqui dymel and Andrew Rose. On a Sunday we are helped by Steve Couzens, Lynn Evans, Tom Wakefield and Micheal Meilton. Duties on a Sunday are greatly eased by the continuation of a rota system run by Becky O'Brien and manned by the wider church fellowship to carry out the variety of functions which make up church life on a Sunday. Our thanks go to all involved. 

Work in the Church yard to improve the space to be used by the community was started in 2022 and is ongoing. Steve Couzens has a

team of volunteers helping with planting and maintenance and our thanks go to them. Our Eco church group has been instrumental in providing ideas. Last summer there were a number of complaints from local residents about the state of the grass so this coming year it will be more managed. It was unfortunate that the hot weather  meant that meadow flower seeds that were scattered failed to germinate. More planting is planned for this Spring. The Community Payback team continues to work with us and are engaged with maintenance and development of the church yard. A tree surgeon carried out a site survey in December of all the trees on site following a near miss accident when a branch fell down. We are currently in the process of carrying out his recommendations. 

The Hope Project went live in July of 2022, the culmination of several years of work by many members of the congregation. We now have a beautiful space in the main church building that can be used by St Paul's congregation and the community. Our thanks go to all those whose vision and hard work have achieved this. At the time of writing we have used the space for a concert by 'West End has Faith', a community lunch for local charities to network, and the Christmas Fayre. We have also been able to extend the Coffee Club to a weekly event to provide a warm space during this cost of living crisis. A number of organisations have hired the space for events and there are more bookings now in the diary. 

The wardens have overseen the logistics of renting out the new space and it has been decided that all our halls should be managed by 1 group and the whole site seen as The Hope Project. This group should include a warden, the administrator and at least 2 other church members. It currently includes Jane Bailey, Ness Cooper, Jacqui Dymel and Faith Ward. Julie Swales has been temporarily included as acting Administrator. Many thank go to Kerry who has updated the website to give St Paul’s a more contemporary presence on the Internet.

Due to the uncertain financial situation, identified by the PCC in the later part of 2022, there are a number of maintenance projects which have been put on hold. Now we have a clearer picture we have booked work to replace broken windows. It should be noted that significant work is required on the windows of the Church Hall and a leak in the front porch is being investigated. The Quinquennial survey is also due in 2023. A valuation for the Church Hall and Car Park as requested by our Auditors has been arranged for 1.3.23 

John and Andrew spent a significant amount of time, energy (and broken nights due to the alarm company ringing to inform us the alarm was going off) trying to fix the alarm for the church hall. Many thanks to both of them. It was eventually found to be a faulty connection which has now been fixed. 

Whilst, as with any organisation, there have been glitches to iron out for the smooth running of the Church we have been very blessed with all the positive things that have happened over the past year. We have been able to connect with our community, bringing God's love in a 

more effective way and we have seen the congregation taking on more roles and responsibilities to enable that to happen. As a team our thanks go to all who help make St Paul's function and share God's love and we look forward with faith to all God will do through us over the next year. 

## **Health and Safety** 

Thanks is extended to John Hartley who has now retired from his post as Health and Safety Officer and this now comes under the wardens remit. A special email has been set up that risk assessment scan now be sent to. Any accidents that have taken place on our premises are logged and kept on file on the Benefice Office.

## **Hall Report for 2022** 

At present there is a small group of people who over see the Church hall. Bookings have now picked up since covid 19 and we have a good number of regular users and one off events such as parties happening. Cariad Howe resigned the role of cleaner in July 2022 and we now have 2 cleaners Alaric Childerhouse and Emilie Ward who cover both cleaning the Church and Hall. New hiring rates were set for the hall over a rate review and had to be increased due to the high cost of energy etc. At present no major maintenance has taken place but there are things that need to be done. The group has now merged with the Church to form a general HOPE group which over sees the hiring out of both venues as well as building fabric etc. 

## **Safeguarding Report 2022** 

ST PAULS CHURCH, CHIPPENHAM 

The Parish Safeguarding Policy was updated, and this was duly verified by all PCCs in October/November 2022. A copy of the updated Policy was sent to the Bristol Diocesan Safeguarding Team for their records and the new version has been posted on the Benefice website. The Benefice website has also been recently updated and safeguarding is now in a more prominent position, easily accessible and sets out our intentions as a group of churches towards safeguarding. 

The PSO for St Pauls Church has regularly attended PSO forums on-line throughout the last year {another due January 2023) and has found that these are always supportive and a source of useful safeguarding information. The Safeguarding Team at Bristol Diocese continue to be a great source of current, up-to-date information and this is disseminated by the PSO for St Pauls Church to all interested parties. 

32 



The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell Part 2 –Life at St Paul’s 

Safeguarding posters and notices continue to be displayed in the church and signage has also been put up in the toilets in church. Safeguarding is also a regular item on PCC/DCC meeting agendas. 

The Parish Safeguarding Dashboard continues to be utilised. The Dashboard has had a 97% registration take-up and over 70% of parishes have started to use it regularly, St Pauls being one them. The PSO at St Pauls Church regularly updates the Dashboard and has found it to be a helpful tool in assisting our Church to meet the Safeguarding criteria as set out by Bristol Diocese. 

All current PCC members are DBS checked as required by the Charity Commissioners. The Parish Safeguarding Officer for St Pauls continues with the DBS administration. This procedure is currently being completed on-line, following guidelines from the Diocese. A list has also been collated of all volunteers within our group of churches as required for insurance purposes. 

In 2022 the PSO was notified by Bristol Diocese that it would be a requirement for DBS checks to be renewed every three years instead of the current five years. Accordingly these checks are being redone as per guidelines, with approximately ten being completed in December 2022. 

We continue to try and make our group of churches places where all people are welcomed into open and secure communities that make known Christ’s reconciling peace.

## **ST PETER’S CHURCH Langley Burrell** 


## **Official Information** 

A District Church within the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell PCC Charity Number: 1131637 

## **DISTRICT CHURCH COUNCIL ANNUAL REPORT** 

for the Year 1st January – 31st December 2022 

## DESCRIPTION OF CHURCH 

St Peter's, Langley Burrell, is an ancient Anglican Church building with origins dating from Saxon times, and, is one of two Parish Churches in the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul Chippenham with Langley Burrell. 

The Parish is divided into two Districts, each served by one of the two Parish Churches, St Pauls Chippenham and St Peter’s Langley Burrell. Together with the adjoining Parish of St Nicholas Hardenhuish, the three churches comprise the Greenways Benefice, Chippenham (formerly known as the “North Chippenham Group of Churches”), within the Chippenham Deanery, the Archdeaconry of Malmesbury and the Diocese of Bristol. 

St Peter’s Church aims to be an outward-looking and inclusive Church, in the evangelical tradition. The value of our inheritance is acknowledged, and we aim to retain the best from the past, whilst also being responsive to the changing world in which we live. Accordingly, the Church’s aspiration is to offer a blend of regular Sunday services 

Page 37 



The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell Part 4 – Official Information 

which contain elements of traditional liturgy in an accessible form, and also services which are more informal and engaging for young families with children. Visitors and enquirers are always welcomed by our friendly congregation and leadership team. 

The Priest-in-Charge of the Benefice is the Rev. Simon Dunn. 

CHURCH COUNCIL AND OFFICERS 

Members of the District Church Council are elected each year at the Annual General Meeting and for the year 2022 the membership was as follows: (* denotes also member of PCC). 

Churchwardens: 

Vacant (2) 

Clergy (Ex-officio members) : 

Rev. Simon Dunn – Rector (DCC Chair) 

Elected Members: 

Mr Jim Hall 

Mr Howard Morland* (Treasurer) 

Mrs Hazel Sheldon* (Secretary)

## OTHER ROLES 

Safeguarding (Children and Vulnerable Adults) Mrs Joy Morland (Nominated Person) 

Electoral Roll - Mrs Hazel Sheldon 

Flower Co-ordinator - Mrs Joy Morland 

Bell Ringers – Tower Captain Mr Chris Box 

## ADMINISTRATION AND GOVERNANCE 

There are not enough volunteers to fill all the vacancies on the Church Council, or for other essential tasks in church life. Although some have stepped forward, and this is appreciated, too few people continue to bear too heavy a load for it to be sustainable in the long term. We pray for new people of faith to join us and become actively involved at St Peter’s. 

## ATTENDANCE 

In 2022 regular services were held on the first and third Sundays of each month. The inability to hold weekly services was due mainly to a lack of clergy availability, or of licensed lay ministers - and there is no prospect of this changing in 2023. 

Average attendance at these services in 2022 was 18 (22 services). The decline in attendance by children and young people reached a new low, becoming a very rare event, other than at special occasions, such as the baptism that took place on Saturday 19 September, when 25 children were present along with 110 adults. This highlights the issue of the place of St Peter’s within the Parish: St Pauls is much better 

Page 39 



The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell Part 4 – Official Information 

equipped for children and young families, in terms of regular 

involvement, but St Peter’s will continue to serve and meet needs in its own way, with a more limited offering and different emphasis. 

## ELECTORAL ROLL 

The number of persons on the electoral roll at the 2022 AGM was 35 

## PASTORAL SERVICES 

During the year the Church hosted 5 baptismal services, 1 wedding and 3 funerals, compared with 1 baptism, 3 weddings and 2 funerals the previous year. 

## MISSIONARY AND CHARITABLE GIVING AND SUPPORT 

The following charities were supported financially during the year 2022: 

· Mercy Ships 

· Wiltshire Historic Churches Trust 

. Church Mission Society 

. Bellringers Association 

## COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS AND MISSION 

The suspension of the Snowdrop Lunch (February) and Harvest Supper (September) has had to be extended due to a lack of personnel and unless circumstances change this is likely to continue into the foreseeable future. Both these events have previously been supported 

Page 40 



The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell Part 4 – Official Information 

by a number of people from the village who were not churchgoers; however, St Peter’s was again well represented at the village fete, on 9 July, which also provided very useful additional income. Thanks are due to Katerina Johnstone for all her hard work on the fete and hall management. 

“Community Cuppa” sessions in the Village Hall continue to take place once a month, thanks to Alberta Hegley, and are appreciated by those who attend. 

In December a Carol Service was held, but with a decline in numbers attending and in 2022 there was no Christmas Eve crib service, which has previously (pre-pandemic) been well 

attended and one of the highlights of the church year. Once again, we suffered the consequence of a lack of clergy in the Group, or available licensed ministers. Christmas Morning communion was held but with only 15 attending (35 in 2021). 

The Church continues to be aware of the need for engaging more effectively with a growing community over the next few years. More effort is planned at making known our presence, through a display at the village fete and through promotion of St Peter’s as a heritage site on two of the new village trails, funded by the Parish Council. Any other ideas would be welcomed. 

## BUILDING FABRIC 

The project to provide an accessible toilet facility by reconstructing the existing outbuilding has finally got underway in earnest. This is due to the receipt of a grant from the Parish Council, following agreement about its use for heritage trail visitors. 

Page 41

Ongoing maintenance costs for our historic Church building continue to be a challenge. Help is always welcome from those with relevant skills, from cleaning to organising roof repairs. Churchyard grass cutting has been managed by Luke Raikes, groundsman from Langley House; we are grateful to Brenda Coleman for offering this and for the work done by Luke and his team. Occasional tidying of the churchyard is also needed: Joining a work party for a couple of hours twice a year can be fun! 

## GENERAL 

Named or not, we would like to thank all those who willingly help with services and the day-to-day running of our church, including our flower arrangers, bell-ringers and the volunteers who clean the church. Finally, our appreciation goes to our overstretched rector, Simon Dunn, for his prayerful and practical support in difficult circumstances. 

## **Official Information** 

## **Aim and Purposes** 

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell is responsible for controlling the management, finance and the administration of the charity and to cooperate with the minister, in the whole mission of the Church; pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The Council appoints and delegates to groups of people or individuals to help in carrying out its aims and objectives whilst keeping the whole PCC membership informed so that the trustees can accept, reject or amend proposals put to them. The PCC is responsible for St Paul, Chippenham and St Peter’s Langley Burrell.

## **Objects and Activities** 

Both Churches are committed to the Diocese of Bristol’s vision to create communities of wholeness with Christ at the centre. Details of St Peter’s ministry will be found in Part 3. 

St Paul’s vision is to be “the community’s church” which reflects not only, our desire for the church congregation to grow as a community and for all to be actively engaged in church life, but also our desire to be a church where local people can come and feel at home at St Paul’s and regard it as their church even if they do not normally attend church. 

The four strands of the community’s church vision to enable this to happen are for St Paul’s to be: 

- **A spiritual home** where all can find a safe place to explore their faith, encounter Jesus and have the opportunity to be fully involved in church life. 

- **A place of refuge** where all are welcomed and supported through the ups and down of life and can know the love and comfort of Jesus. 

- **A wellspring of generosity** , as we serve each other and the local community in response to Jesus’ love for us. 

- **A beacon of hope** as we reflect Jesus’ light in our local community 

The Trustees have read the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission and are keen to engage with work that provides public benefit alongside our charity’s primary purpose of the advancement of religion. 

Page 43 



The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell Part 4 – Official Information 

In particular St Paul’s tries to enable a wide cross section of ordinary people to have opportunities to learn about the gospel, to develop their knowledge and love of Jesus and to live out their faith as part of the parish community. We do this in particular through the following distinctive ministries at St Paul’ 

- good quality accessible worship 

- children’s and youth ministry 

- a network of safe groups for people to become part of our church family/community and 

- engaging with the community and the world (both in mission and outreach work locally and globally). 

To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the church of St Paul’s and its Church Halls; and have good quality facilities available for mission, outreach and community use. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell is part of the Ecclesiastical Benefice of St Paul, Chippenham with Hardenhuish and Langley Burrell; the long-awaited pastoral measure changes were ‘signed-off’ by the Queen in Council in early 2022, therefore we officially no longer work with the benefice of Kingston St Michael. The former ‘Team Ministry’ and ‘North Chippenham Group of Churches’, has ceased to exist. In practice this means there are just three church communities named “The Greenways Benefice” operating with one Minister (now an incumbent) in leadership, who becomes a Rector. Revd. Simon Dunn was licenced as the first Rector of the benefice on 5th October 2022. 

Since September 2015, when the agreed (at the APCM 2015) governance changes were implemented, the Church of St. Paul, 

Page 44 



The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell Part 4 – Official Information 

Chippenham and the Church of St. Peter, Langley Burrell operate under its own District Church Council (DCC). 

These DCC’s function under delegated powers from the trustees and in guidance from a Bristol Diocesan ’scheme for separate representation of congregations’. ‘St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell’, still share one Parochial Church Council, and this aims to meet, a minimum, of four times per year. 

The Diocese of Bristol is the Trustee for the charity and as such holds the title to the Churches. The charity is governed by the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure 1956 (as amended) and Church representation rules (re-issued 2020). “One of the effects of the new pastoral measure is that the benefice acquires new patrons. This responsibility now falls on the Bishop of Bristol together with the Church Pastoral Aid Society 

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. Our PCC membership, since the governance changes in September 2015, consists of the Rector, our Churchwardens, our elected Deanery and Diocesan Synod 

representatives and 10 elected members nominated by the two DCC’s (five from each DCC). To be elected to a DCC or the PCC, members need to be on the relevant church electoral roll. All PCC members are Trustees of the charity. 

The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the Parish, including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. The PCC met 4 times during the year, under the new Church Representation Rules (2020), business is now allowed to be conducted electronically. Any business conducted this way is carried out as stipulated in these rules. 

Page 45 



The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell Part 4 – Official Information 

The APCM and ADCM are now due to be held by the 31st May each year (2020 rules).

## **PCC Business** 

The PCC is legally expected to meet (a minimum of) 4 times a year and as Trustees maintains an oversight of the finances. The Standing Committee may progress delegated business from the PCC by email or occasionally by meetings as required, between PCC meetings. The Standing Committee currently consists of the Rector, and the St. Paul’s and St. Peter`s Church Wardens. 

## **PCC Accounts – Control Issues** 

It was agreed in October 2020 that All St Paul’s Accounts will have five authorised signatories; (increased from four) these would be the 

Page 48 



The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell Part 4 – Official Information 

Treasurer, the Churchwarden, PCC Lay Chair, an Ex-Treasurer and the PCC Secretary. Any two of these must sign all authorisations i.e. cheques, transfers, standing orders, direct debits etc. Cheques which are written for one of these signatories or their immediate family are not signed by them. 

The ‘Churchwardens 2’ account receipts are mainly church collections; most of these are paid either by regular standing order into the account or by the Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) which collects direct debits on the first of the month and then pays them in to the bank account by the 10th of the month. The PGS scheme also claims any Gift Aid due from HMRC and pays it direct into the bank account monthly. Cash collections after a service are counted by two unrelated people at church after the main Sunday Service, and then passed on to the person responsible for the banking. They are then banked with the paying in information being e-mailed to the Treasurer. 

Since October 2019 we have offered contactless payments as a way of donating. The system used is called ‘sum up’ and any payments made are paid into the bank account within 2-3 days with a small management fee (2.5%) being charged for the service. 

The Church Hall receipts are mainly from bookings, these are received and paid into the Churchwardens 2 account by bank transfer or by the Church Administrator acting in the role of Hall Bookings Secretary. Paying in information is e-mailed to the Treasurer. This portion of the Administrators work is paid for by St Paul’s only. Payments are made by the St. Paul’s Treasurer on receipt of signed invoices from the Administrator or budget sub-head named person. 

Langley Burrell’s activities are reported to the Charity’s Treasurer and monthly along with the bank statements. This is so that they can be 

Page 49 



The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Paul, Chippenham with Langley Burrell Part 4 – Official Information 

recorded and reconciled on the Treasurer’s computer; the Giving Secretaries act as the Gift Aid Secretary and therefore is able to reclaim the tax using this information. Langley Burrell has one current bank account with NatWest. In addition a CBF deposit account was opened in 2009 for their reserves. This account is operated by post for paying in and for withdrawals. Withdrawals are paid direct into the current bank account at NatWest. 

The Treasurer’s computerised accounts system is backed up monthly onto OneDrive for safe keeping. Similarly, the Gift Aid Secretaries’ computerised donations system is also backed up monthly. 

## **Benefice Accounts** 

Involved in the day to day running of the churches are payments relating to the three churches in the benefice, mainly to do with the clergy. These payments are made out of St Paul’s account and then are split by the previous year’s attendance ratios. Langley Burrell pay a monthly standing order and Hardenhuish pay an annual cheque after being invoiced with any further money owing (or excess) paid by cheque after the year-end Accounts have been prepared. 

## **Staff** 

There is one part time member of staff, one full time staff and 1 cleaner doing ad hoc hours 

The Administrator works 3.5 hours per week on St. Paul’s hall bookings, and 13.5 hours per week for the benefice. 

The Youth Minister role is full time.

## **TREASURER’S REPORT FOR YEAR ENDED 31[st] DECEMBER 2022** 

## **St Paul’s Chippenham** 

We will have verbal updates at our ADCM on April 30[th] and also the APCM on May 21[st] . 

## **St Peter’s Langley Burrell** 

**End of Year Report:** December 2022 The year began with uncertainty about the church’s financial survival in 2022, given the uncertain times we were facing. The attached spreadsheet sets out a summary of how the year actually evolved, financially. The positive message that comes from this is one of hope and faith confirmed. Recently we received further encouragement, with the granting of £50,000 from the LB Parish Council to rebuild the toilet block. This is made possible by the inclusion of St Peter’s in the Council’s Heritage Trail. Undoubtedly, that will bring greater awareness of our existence, both in the local community and more widely. This is something we can build upon. The church already holds funds for this purpose (‘restricted’ : £3214.63 @ 29.12.22; ‘designated’ : £10,565 @ 31.12.21). While it is to be hoped that the Council grant will cover all initial costs, this is not certain. New ways of supporting the church financially have been introduced, including the Parish Giving Scheme and (actually early 2023) SumUp - by which cash donations may be made to St Peter’s using a special QR code that is scanned with a smart ‘phone camera.
