St Botolph's, Longthorpe

Report from The Parochial Church Council on the activities at St Botolph's in the year 2022

Introduction

St Botolph’s Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of coopera�ng with the incumbent, the Reverend Jackie Bullen, in promo�ng in the ecclesias�cal parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelis�c, social and ecumenical.

The PCC is commi�ed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at St Botolph’s and to become part of our parish community. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes sugges�ons on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into prac�ce through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. When planning our ac�vi�es for the year, we have considered the commitment we have made to being a church which is open and welcoming to all people.

We try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:

 Worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus.
 Provision of pastoral care for people in the community and parish.
 Missionary and outreach work.

To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Church of St Botolph's and monitor and review the finances over which we exercise stewardship.

Despite the difficul�es and challenges presented as Phase 2 of the re-ordering took place, we have looked forward together and formed new and frui�ul rela�onships across the whole of the church family.

Worship

The aim of the Worship Committee is to consider all aspects of our Worship at St Botolph’s and to innovate, plan, review and suggest improvements or changes through-out the year. Due to the closure of the main area of the church building in January 2022, alternative arrangements were made.

In Church services -- the normal pattern of worship (i.e., three Sunday services, Midweek Eucharist on Wednesday and Thursday morning and Morning Prayer each weekday) has continued in the church building

whenever possible during this period. From the first week of January until March 2022 services were either held in the Village Hall or the cloister area of the church building. The serving team dealt wonderfully well with the demands of this, and all services went ahead as planned. Many people found that worship in a new and different setting was an interesting experience and allowed us to grow as a church family.

Opening the church building The church building was fully re-opened after a thorough clean by a team of

volunteers. It was good to be back in church ready for our Easter celebrations. Bishop Donald came to preside and preach at our Patronal Festival and service of Confirmation on Sunday 19th June.

Evening Prayer on Sundays and Morning Prayer on Monday-Saturday have both been celebrated via Zoom, with a steady and increased number of participants. MU also worshipped via Zoom as part of their monthly meetings when the church building was closed and later resumed mee�ng in church.

Children and Families

Sunday Family Worship

At the start of the year we were free to a�end church in person again but with high cases of Omicron and the building work in church we con�nued our Sunday morning sessions on zoom. Worship con�nued to be lead and organised each week by one of the three Children’s Ministers supported by the addi�onal leaders and Rev Jackie where possible. This took place 10-10.30am each Sunday on zoom, with the addi�on of an 11am service in the church cloister on the 3[rd] Sunday.

This pa�ern con�nued un�l the end of March a�er which we were back into our newly reordered church building.

Once back in church we had family sessions in the cloister at the 9.30 services and con�nued with the Families Together services at 11am on the 3[rd] Sunday.

To plan the sessions, we con�nue to use a combina�on of the Roots worship material and other online resources, always referenced to the Gospel reading of the week as set out in the Common Worship Lec�onary.

Each week we use the same structure of opening prayer, confession and creed followed by an ac�vity and discussion based on the reading. We also had music on zoom where possible from YouTube.

A�endance on zoom had dropped off at the start of the year and since we have been back in church for the 9.30 services a�endance is s�ll quite erra�c with some weeks having up to 10 people and other weeks no families at all. This is reflected in the wider church a�endance.

At our 11am services it has been a similar story with an ini�ally good a�endance then a drop off and a gradual increase in numbers as the year progressed. It is helpful that these 11am services are usually supported with music from Jonathan and the Ukelele band, which adds to the atmosphere and enjoyment as well as the numbers.

Special Services & Events:

It was wonderful in late 2022 to bring back some of the special services we have held in previous years but it was difficult to judge how a�endance might go.

We held our Chris�ngle Service (which raises funds for The Children’s Society) in December and although numbers were s�ll rela�vely low when compared with pre covid �mes, it was good to see a mixture of families present, including many who do not normally come to the 9.30 service. This service was held in the evensong service �me slot.

Ben, Faye, Angel and Jewel, who received their First Communion in April, with Bincy Shilo

Our Crib services also went ahead this year and were well a�ended both at the 3pm and 4.30pm sessions. For these we kept to the ‘na�vity from scratch’ format with a slightly condensed narra�on.

We con�nue to look at ways to best serve our families and as we enter

into 2023 we have plans for family focussed events and will be considering our approach to all the special services throughout the year.

We really appreciate the dedica�on and commitment from the teams involved without whom these services and events would not be possible. Currently we have three leaders and four supports, and we are always looking to increase the number of leaders and supports within our family ministry team.

Baptisms, First Communion and Confirmation:

The Christening Team con�nued to be busy this year. Some �me was spent visi�ng families, helping them to understand more about the church’s teaching on bap�sm, suppor�ng families as they prepare for their child’s bap�sm and becoming a friend to the family. Some mee�ngs with bap�sm families and Godparents have been conducted on Zoom which has proved popular with families with young children. We have been able to offer dates to all who wish their child to be bap�sed.

Four young people were admi�ed First Communion in April 2022.

11 young people were bap�sed in 2022. It is a privilege to walk this journey with them and their families.

Two confirma�ons were received in 2022.

Botolph’s Buggy Buddies:

Buggy Buddies resumed mee�ng in September 2022 with a relaunch of the group. New leaders and addi�onal volunteers came forward and we now have a regular team for each Friday. Building on the experience of the past we have developed the pa�ern of play from

10.30am to 11.30am followed by the ‘song and story’ session from 11.30am to 12 noon. The ‘song and story’ now has a Bible based theme for each half term which �es in with the cra� ac�vi�es for the week. Numbers are increasing and we are excited about this opportunity to build rela�onships with families from

Longthorpe and the wider area.

Faith Development

The commi�ee con�nued to seek to offer opportuni�es for members of the congrega�on to grow in faith. However following the pandemic and lockdown, it took a while for people to become comfortable joining in ac�vi�es again. The curate, the Revd Mel Stanley joined the commi�ee in July and it was hoped she would take over the chair, but unfortunately she had to resign her curacy due to illness.

Lent: The course on The Four Gospels by Bishop Donald was offered. It was run on Tuesday mornings in the Cloister and Wednesday evenings on Zoom. It was an extremely good course and those who a�ended engaged well with each session. Lent Cloister Lunches took place each Wednesday consis�ng of soup,

bread and fruit, ending with a Thought for the Day. These were well a�ended and valued.

Advent : A course based on Jane Williams’ book ‘Art for Advent’ was run on Tuesday mornings and Wednesday evenings. It was found to be very enjoyable and helpful by those who a�ended.

The Library : It was possible to bring the Library in church back into use and some new books were bought.

Home Groups con�nued to meet, offering mutual support and encouragement in members’ spiritual journey.

Cursillo: During 2022 Peterborough Cursillo has con�nued

to hold monthly group reunion mee�ngs on zoom. These took place on the first Saturday of the month at 9am for an hour, enabling Cursillistas from all around the diocese to meet together and support each other.

At St Botolph’s a group reunion for members of Cursillo started during 2022, mee�ng in the church bimonthly with a bring and share lunch. This is open to all those who have a�ended a Cursillo weekend and people who would like to find out how Cursillo can help on our Chris�an journey.

In October 2022 Peterborough #14 took place at Launde Abbey where two members of St Botolph’s church a�ended this weekend.

Pastoral Care

Throughout 2022 we had ten members on the Pastoral Team. We have been working hard to ensure that we care for the sick and housebound in our community. Recently we have added further support to the lonely and bereaved and those with memory problems and their carers.

Home communion has been offered following the Wednesday morning communion service and taken to those unable to get to church with two people going together.

A service has been taken into the Thorpe Wood Care Home every month and has forged strong links with the staff and residents. In turn the residents enjoyed their Christmas Carol service in Church, followed by tea and cake.

A monthly Cloister Lunch has been enjoyed by a great number of people where the food has been prepared by members of the pastoral team and other supporters.

The Games A�ernoon started in 2022 fortnightly on a Tuesday

a�ernoon, many have enjoyed playing games of cards or board games with others.

The Coffee and Chat group con�nue to share news on zoom every Thursday morning.

The Talking and Walking group which was enjoyed through most of the year tailed off in September and those who had made friendships con�nued to meet as they were able.

The Parish Nursing service has been a source of support for those who are sick, those needing hospital visits and for signpos�ng to statutory services. Visits have been made by appointment and helpful advice and support given by a Registered Health Professional. This con�nues to be an important part of our ministry to our community, especially reaching out to those who find themselves receiving difficult news about their health.

The Demen�a Café at Thorpe Wood Care Home started in May and several the congrega�on have supported this on the 4[th] Thursday

of the month.

Two new ventures this year were Line Dancing sessions and a Guided Bike Ride.

The Book Box in the church porch has been much used by the community who are able to bring and swap books and jigsaws.

Bereavement Support Group:

The first contact with bereaved families is by the vicar. She passes on their contact details to the Bereavement Group for follow up when appropriate. This important ministry has continued with telephone

calls and emails being used to make contact. In person visits have been made where possible.

Marriage Preparation:

As most of our marriage couples do not live locally, marriage preparation is undertaken by the vicar on a one-to-one basis. Ongoing contact with couples is kept by the sending of anniversary cards by the Mothers’ Union, sending the Easter, Harvest and Christmas Cards to them and offering them the opportunity to receive the daily emails sent out by the church.

Safeguarding

‘‘St Botolph’s Church is commi�ed to safeguarding and promo�ng the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all volunteers to share this commitment.’

Safeguarding has remained as high a priority as ever.

DBS checks have con�nued to be updated where required. DBS

checks and safeguarding training both need renewing a�er three years.

The online safeguarding dashboard con�nues to be updated and automa�cally submi�ed to the Diocese. I now a�end a PCC mee�ng once every six months to report back to the PCC and the PCC con�nues to have safeguarding as a standing item on the agenda at

every mee�ng which helps to ensure its profile in St Botolph’s remains high. The PCC have adopted and renewed all policies required. A recent addi�on is for us to have a Social Media Statement.

All those who have been appointed to new posts within the Church have been recruited following safer recruitment procedures.

Ministry

The church’s regular pa�ern of worship changed considerably during 2022. In January, February and March some services were conducted in the cloister and a Sunday a�ernoon service of Holy Communion in the Village Hall. The serving team, wardens, musicians and congrega�on found the challenge of crea�ng a worship space in a different loca�on an interes�ng challenge. We gradually eased the provisions put in place due to Covid19 in line with recommenda�ons from the Bishop.

The Rev’d Canon Grant Brockhouse has provided cover for services which is greatly appreciated.

The Revd Mel Stanley was appointed Assistant Curate at St Botolph’s following her ordina�on as deacon in June. Unfortunately, due to ill health, she has had to transfer her curacy to Oxford Diocese.

Pat Hope-Jones and Pat Hemsley re�red from their Reader ministries in October. Their ministries have been greatly valued and they were

presented with gi�s from the church family to show their apprecia�on.

Eddie Miller con�nues to develop her ministry as Lay Pastoral Minister

and Parish Nurse aiming to serve the people of the church, the wider community and parish.

Corinne Craymer con�nued to offer reflec�ons on scripture and assist in leading worship. She completed a one-year part-�me course with Peterborough Diocese and is now a licensed Lay Worship Leader. Her ministry con�nues to develop.

Shilo Varughese con�nued his part�me training with us as an Ordinand in Training. He was able to increase his involvement with the life of the church and parish and was ordained Deacon in Peterborough Cathedral in June. He is now serving his �tle as Assistant Curate with the Castor

The Ministry Leadership Team meet and pray regularly and con�nue to be commi�ed to working together with the common aim of using our God-given gi�s for the benefit of the church and the wider community. We hope to do this by constantly and consistently monitoring and evalua�ng the Church’s ministry and making plans which will help to achieve the aims and objec�ves of the PCC. This, of course, has been different in 2022 from previous

years and has proved to be challenging and yet inspiring in many ways. Due to Phase 2 of the reordering work in the main church building we have had the opportunity to think more crea�vely about worship. The team have, however, made necessary adjustments to previous prac�ces and developed new and different ways of working to try to achieve our aims as a united group. Suppor�ng one another in prayer and prac�cal ways has been more important than ever.

The Ministry Leadership Team along with Jonathan Craymer, Ann Green and Liz Medlock con�nued to work with the ‘Leading your Church into Growth’ ini�a�ve as a steering group to share their learning and ideas with the whole church.

Outreach

Mission & Evangelism/Events (MEET)

Coffee and Chat on Zoom has con�nued onThursday mornings, as well as regular quizzes on Friday evenings, also on Zoom. Both are appreciated by regulars and serve a useful purpose.

We put on number of events during the year. These included the Just Desserts event and New Year’s Day Lunch, which proved to be popular. Two concerts were also put on and catered for- Ukuleles for Ukraine and

well a�ended and made good use of our new space. Trips to the Key Theatre to see ‘Jesus Christ Superstar‘ and the Pantomime were enjoyed by a cross sec�on of our community.

A key part of our ac�vity has been a deliberate shi� to styling our larger outdoor events ‘Longthorpe’ events rather than just St Botolph’s. We felt this was significant in our outreach to the wider community in the parish and included the Scarecrow Trail, the

Na�vity Trail and the par�cularly successful Queen’s Jubilee Picnic.

We also provided and served refreshments for a number of special services and other occasions, such as Shilo’s farewell, and the Bishop’s visit.

We are always open to new ideas, so if you have a proposal for a new venture – par�cularly those that reach out into the wider community, then please let us know.

The Queen’s Jubilee Picnic

Outreach continued

Communications

Daily Mailings and the magazine.

Daily Mailings have become a very popular method of communication, effectively replacing the church magazine, so efforts to find a new editor have been stopped. We are very grateful to Pat Hope-Jones for all her work on the magazine in the past and on the Daily Mailings now. Pat is always grateful for contributions on any topic you think might be of interest.

Signage and posters

John Davis continues to keep poster boards up to date, tidy and attractive. We now have an arrangement with

other local churches to support each other by displaying posters etc.

Social media

The website, Facebook and Twitter continue to offer useful, alternative methods of communication. We follow the Diocesan social media policy of only using photos with consent or with no faces visible.

Seasonal cards

We have streamlined the process for the creation and distribution of the seasonal cards. Post-pandemic we have returned to putting most cards for distribution in the vestry. We have added two new rounds to those who

live out of parish in Netherton and Bretton and we are still posting cards to the other non-parish church members. Feedback indicates that the cards are an effective way of communicating.

Heritage

The church history booklet and A4 guided walk round the church have been rewritten to reflect the reordered church. Copies are in the cloister. An Excel spreadsheet of all the graves has also been created to make it easier to locate an individual plot. Plans to sort and archive old church documents are ongoing.

Christian Aid Week 15th – 21st May 2022

Chris�an Aid Week marks the annual fund-raising effort for the charity. In 2022 the focus of the fund-raising was the people of rural Zimbabwe, par�cularly women. Seven out of ten women rely on farming for income and food for their families, and more frequent and prolonged droughts in recent �mes have made their lives increasingly difficult. Chris�an Aid through its local partners supports women by supplying droughtresistant crops such as tomatoes, beans and cucumbers, by se�ng up water taps on farms to provide irriga�on and by helping farmers to

make the best use of the water available. As a result, women who are be�er able to produce food become less reliant on outside help and are more confident about their children’s futures.

For a second year a ‘delivery only’ envelope collec�on was held during Chris�an Aid Week. Thirty-two volunteers delivered envelopes to around 1,300 households in the parish, and once again Mohammad Arif was very happy for Longthorpe Post Office to be used as the collec�on point for the envelopes. A total of £1,570.58 was raised from

the Post Office collec�on and in addi�on £682.00 was donated online, both amounts including Gi� Aid. For the first �me the amount donated online could be iden�fied this year through a named online dona�on page for the church. The grand total was £2,252.58 which will have made a significant contribu�on to improving the lives of many in rural Zimbabwe.

Many thanks are due to all those who helped with deliveries and made dona�ons, to Mohammad Arif, and to Tony Huggins who counted and banked the proceeds.

Support

Church Fabric, Ornaments and Churchyard

2022 was another busy year building on the works done in 2021. Covid-19 continued to impact all aspects of church life, but this year’s focus moved from lock down gradually back to the path of full worship.

The Phase 2 re-ordering works ‘Our Project’ was approved at the end of 2021 to be completed in several

phases. Phase 2 related to the work to the Nave/Side Aisles including the removal of the remaining pews, installation of the new sound system and painting of all walls and completion of the organ refurbishment. Norman Hall & Sons completed the refurbishment of the organ and re-commissioned it in its

new place in church. The new chairs were ordered and delivered to church, and they have provided to be a versatile means of seating.

The Fabric Committee continue to keep in touch and maintain oversight of the fabric of the church and the churchyard. The committee gained permission to complete the final

stonework tasks and roof repairs highlighted during the Quinquennial inspection. Weldon Stone (the company that carried out the work in ‘Our Project’) and John Lucas were invited to quote. John Lucas declined. The quote from Weldon was accepted £10,061 + VAT. Extra works were carried out amounting to £697.40. Total value £10,758.40 + VAT. The stonework task was completed in November 2022. Messenger and Claude Smith were invited to quote for the roof repair work. The quote from Claude Smith was accepted £11,840 +

VAT. Work was started on 26 October 2022 and completed by 11 November 2022.

The work combined that which the quinquennial inspection report recommended be carried out within two years of July 2020 and that which was scheduled for being completed in later years. It was considered that this was the most economical way to carry out the work.

Health and safety inspections within and outside the church have been ongoing and when we have been allowed to open the church for various services the requirements for complying with the Government and Church of England requirements for Covid-19 have been maintained.

As decreed by Canon Law of the Church of England, an inventory check of ornaments and silverware, vestments and furniture belonging to St Botolph’s, together with the Logbook was completed - all items were accounted for.

Our thanks go to the Fabric Committee and Chair, Geoff Sayers, also to the many volunteers for all the physical and practical work that has been done throughout a very difficult year. They keep the church and churchyard in such good order. Everyone ensures we have a safe and comfortable environment in which to hold our church services and other activities.

Phase 2 of Our Project

The versatility of the newly ordered church put to good use at the Ukuleles for Ukraine Concert and MU Strawberry Tea

Financial Review

Income

The total income in 2022 was £129,897 compared to £124,082 in 2021. This is an increase of £5,815. However, £67,427 was also received in 2022 for Our Project of which £25,000 was a grant and £23,745 VAT rebate. £2,225 came from the sale of assets and the balance from individuals.

In 2022 no legacies were received. The PCC have looked at the Church of England’s recommenda�ons regarding talking to people about making provision for the church in their will as a las�ng legacy and formulated a Legacies Policy. The policy states that any cash legacy would be welcomed and used in line with the wishes of the donor. It has been very encouraging that those who give regularly by Standing Order or the envelope scheme have con�nued to support the church during 2022. However, it is essen�al for our financial well-being, our ability to con�nue to grow as a church and to reach out to those in need that we challenge ourselves year by year. We must consider this ques�on - Is my giving at the right level today? Will it allow us to do what is needed here in Longthorpe and across the world to build the kingdom of God? Maybe considering 10% of our income or ‘�thing’ to the church and other chari�es is a good star�ng point. The beau�ful building we have is a blessing and the work undertaken will allow us to be able to use the

building in more and different ways in the future but there remains the requirement to be able to provide ongoing maintenance and improvement in order to make it fit for purpose in the years to come. We hope to develop and expand our outreach and extend our generosity to all those God has placed in our care.

church are encouraged to consider their level of giving. We received a machine from Peterborough Diocese which allows people to give electronically. Unfortunately, the machine is not always reliable and may have to be replaced if the issues cannot be resolved. It has however, at �mes, provided a facility for some people and we remain hopeful that it will provide a method for visitors to make dona�ons when visi�ng the church and those a�ending weddings, funerals and bap�sms. We must remain hopeful that our regular commi�ed giving will increase in 2023 to provide enough for the church to be a presence as the Church of England in Longthorpe and join with God’s mission to His world. In the past St Botolph’s has held an Annual Stewardship Campaign. We have not done this for 2 years but plans are in place for 2023.

As in previous years, Gi� Aid is a vital part of our income being £22,919 in 2022.

Expenditure

Expenditure rose to £157,177 in 2022 from £129,938 in 2021. This was mainly due to the major church repairs needed. This was required as a result of the Quinquennial report which stated that work was needed on the church roof. The cost was £27,118.
