PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF RADIPOLE AND MELCOMBE REGIS ANNUAL REPORT ACHIEVEMENTSAND PERFORMANCE 2023 has been a year of consolidation and developing the ministry in the communities we Serve across Weymouth in our family of six churches known as Radipole and Melcombe Regis with Chickerell. We have been able to fund all our commitments for the year. This is a great achievement considering the difficult financial climate. Therefore thanks be to God that we were able to serve, support and share the hope and the good news that only we can do as followers of Jesus through are charity objectives. Team Rectorfs Comments- Rev Nick Clarke I want to begin with a word of appretiation and gratitude for our Churchwardens. Alongside the clergy, their qualities of dedication, pastoral care and vigilance have been hugely appreciated. The past year of 2023 has seen the Parish come through an exciting period of growth but as ever, great challenges and opporttjnities that have as their root the need for finance. However. as ever we come to the end of the vear full of gratitude for the provision that has materialised. This can be seen in the financial provision for Parish ministries to the town centre and youth and children's work. We have welcomed Rev Dan Harland a5 our new curate, working with Jo Haine ITeam Vicarl across the two churches of Emmanuel and St Mary's Chickerell. Since 2018. the Parish has worked with three distinct priorities, following a Parish vision day.. town centre ministry. youth and children's ministry and discipleship. In 2023. we have seen the fruit of much hard work as we have witnessed the work grow, develop and advance. That is not to underplay the terrific work that is being done at District level. Each District, in its own context, appears to be 8rowin8 in that outward looking focus, developing new way5 to show hospitality and drawing nev4 people into the life of its community, 3 community underpinned by worship and prayer. Towri Centre ministry - Under the initiatives of Neil Biles. the Town Centre Chaplain, we have seen St MaS Church become a hub for various activities taking place in the Simeon room. drawing people in for Global Café,'You can Cook, courses, hospitality in different forms based around food and drink, facilitating outreach meetings for Christians Against Poverty. Furthermore, this worship space at St Mary's has also been used for 24-hour prayer meetings and on Sundays the addition of a Breakfast service which is attratting a new congregation of worshippers. Year by year, we pray for finance to sustain the work and ministry of the chaplain. and year by year we receive the support of the Diotese through the Benefact trust. Youth and Chlldren's Ministry Once again we have seen the ministry of our youth work, under the leadership of Joe Hobday, grow. Weekly number5, particularly for the open youth work on Thursday evenings. reveal the great need of youth provision in Society generally, a space that we as a Parish have 'stepped into,. Tuesday evenings give space for a more discipleship-based programme for young people, usually those who are connected to those in our District churches. The Summer programme of 'fun' activities alongside the experience of social action (helping at Foodbank or the Nest, for example) have proved a great success. These numbers have been well supported by the programmes of our Children and Families Coordinators, Laura Lark IR3dipolel and Susie Coopey (St John's). Working on the strength of relationships with Primary Schools, weekly clubs have been well supported, Holiday Clubs have proved a resounding succe55, and new families have been drawn into the worshipping life of the Parish, through Breakfast services or the 10.45 service at Emmanuel Church. Hope House. bought by the Parish at the end of 2018, has always remained at the heart of this vision to grow children and youth ministry but a5 ever. the financial challenge to sustain
PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF RADIPOLE AND MELCOMBE REGIS ANNUAL REPORT the building and to make it fit for purpose exercised the thoughts of the PCC. l am delighted to report that the Lantern Trust, supported by NHS grant funding is now making good use of the building for its daytime services, supplying much-needed income for Hope House to sustain its vision as a hub for young people. Furthermore, we rejoice that the Diocese have decided to support 50% of the salary of our Youth Pioneer Minister for the next 3 years. We celebrated the work of Hope House when on 10 June the Archbishop of Canterbury visited Weymouth on an evangelistic mission and led a special commissioning service for its future work. Disclpleshlp - There isn't a precise measurement by which to evaluate this priority although across the District churches the Parish continues to offer courses in which people are invited to explore the Christian faith. The Alph3 Course, both nationally and internationally. enables a non-threatening environment where people of faith or no faith can ask any question they like. Across our Districts there is a vibrant feel to our Life groups. groups where people can discuss, explore the Bible and pray for one another. These are very much the appropriate environment5 for finding support and growing in faith with others. In a broader scope there have been courses that have connected church with a particular social need. The Kintsugi Hope course ha5 proved successful in allowing people to explore mental health well being in an atmosphere of healthy sharing and 'safety' These courses always open up the possibilitie5 of invitation into the life of a vibrant worshipping community. Across the Parish we have seen evidence of growing faith, sometimes in quite surprising ways. We are seeing people at all stages of life come to faith and being included in the life of our churches. In August 2023 1 announced that I would be retiring as Team rector and Vicar as of the middle of February 2024. 1 have been in post since September 2016 and as I reflett on all the report5 submitted since then, I am grateful for all the hèrd work of my clergy colleagues, lay ministers and churchwardens, for the sense of Parish unity that ha5 deepened over the last 7 years and the exciting leadership that has emerged to carry the Parish vision foNiard. I wish every blessingto my successor who would take up the reins of leading vibrant and supportive Parish ministry. Rev Canon Nick Clarke IFebruary 20241 Radipole- St Ann's and St Aldhelm's Churches- Andy White DCC Chair, Richard Sloan and Liz Bartlett, Church Wardens Andy write.... The DCC continues to meet regularlyi approximately every two months, primarily to help with the running of the Church and make plan5 for the future. We have a broad representation from across the congregations in St. Aldhelm's, 5t Ann's and Breakfast@9. At the ADCM in 2023 John Thain stepped down as Chair after many years of service. We certainlv need to thank him for this. Nick then took over as Chair until the autumn when I IAndy White) took over. During the past year we have considered many topics in the running of the Church, some of which are summarized here.. Much time was given to looking at the redevelopment of the Lounge in St Aldhelm's, with drawings and proposals prepared by an architect for our consideration. These were quite impressive and certainly raised in us an expectation of great things being possible. However, after much discussion, it was finally agreed to shelve these plans until we have a new incumbent. There were many other reasons too, not the least being finance. but we intend to revisit this in the not too distant fL+ture. The relationship between the Eco Church team and the DCC has been formalized, with a DCC representative now part of this team la role previously undertaken by Nickl. At our last meeting we
PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF RADIPOLE AND MELCOMBE REGIS ANNUAL REPORT agreed, as a Church, to adopt the Church of England goal to work towards attaining net zero by 2030. This will now be a joint initiative between the DCC and Eco Church team and will shape the way we make decisions in the future. Work on both Church buildings (roofs, repairs following burglaries etcl was a regular topic and we need to thank both Church Wardens for the extraordinary work they do to keep our buildings in good order. Safeguarding is always discussed as we continue to be guided by our Safeguarding Officers on the appropriate operation of Church life. A continuing thread of discussion, and eagerly anticipated by all, is that of the Church finances. We endeavour to support our treasurer as he puts in so much hard work on our behalf irb often difficult circumstances, thank you Peter.. Rlchard writes..... Looking back over a year's reports to the DCC it is a reminder of the journey we have been travelling. Wherea5 you might be tempted to think that things stand still and nothing changes it has been quite the reverse. It is clear that on some occasions God has called us to move forward with some initiatives and to hold back on others. As a fellowship we have been tested and challenged, encouraged and regularly reminded of His constancy and wonderful patience and goodness towards us. I would like to thank all those who have, during this last year, been prepared to seek ways to serve God through our fellowship. We are so blessed with people who will roll up their sleeves and get on with the work of bringing in God's Kingdom. Thank you to Nick and Cherry in pastoring us, leading by example, showing wisdom and humble hearts and a deep love for our Lord and Saviour. We are all the stronger for knowing them. Time has moved on and we are in a Vacancy as retirement called them away. To all those who made their leaving so memorable. a massive thank you,. it was something they'll never forget. To all those who have stood up to the challenges of Vacancy. who have taken on extra responsibilities and to all those who have prayed and continue to pray for us, for our fellowship and have been encouragers at this time, thank you. My reports to the DCC covered building Security and maintenance, including plans for developing the Lounge area to meet today's needs and for big projects such a5 repairs to our cast-iron windows which are deteriorating badly and now our main Church roof which needs replacing at great cost. Our current financial situation precludes everything to be done that we would like to do. Please pray for wisdom in how we manage to balance the books, maintain a building fit for future generations and to reach out in our community with the love and joy that it means to be a follower of Je5U5. Sadly. I had to report on break-ins which resulted in distress let alone damage to our Churches and the sanctity of these special places. As I write I have recently been told that the Police have arrested, charged and held in custody someone believed to have been responsible for a15 this. However, it is a reminder that we all should be conscious of needing to keep not only ourselves safe but our buildings and property as well. Other reports detailed different Church groups operating in and for our tommunity.. thank you so much to all the volunteers who make things happenl We have lost some very special people over
PAROCHIALCHURCH COUNCIL OF RADIPOLE AND MELCOMBE REGIS ANNUAL REPORT the last year and continue to thank God for them. We also rejoice at the number of baptisms we have had and other signs of continued growth in our fellowship. Finally, a special thank-you to my fellow Churchwarden, Liz, and my two deputies, David and Andv, Vivien- without whom I fear the wheels really might fall off - as well as to all those others who are so supportive, loving and patient and help out at the drop of a hat. Lil Wrltes...... Average numbers at our Sunday services continue to rise slightly130- 451. We have held monthly Warm Space lunches and the Coffee mornings and Side by Side bereavement café meetings have been well supported. The St Ann's Stitchers continue to make cheerful decorations for inside and outside the Church building. Frequent use is being made of the Schoolroom, with a good number of bookings for parties, etc. The 2nd Radipole Guides continue to join us once a month, when they contribute to the service and take on the setving of refreshments afterwards. Following the success of last year's open weekend, we are planning another St Ann's Celebration over 27 and 28 July 2024. Visitors were able to enjoy churchyard walk5, a concert, historic information about the Church and a be3Utiful Evensong. Similar attivities are planned this year, with the addition of a flower festival. We continue to be blessed by Pat Kirby and her team for their flower ministry enhancing our Church building. We thank Peter Kirby who has made a beautiful, new communion table (re-using wood from previous pewsl and for all his various repairs over the year. We are also grateful to have received a generous donation from the Holt family of a splendid memorial bench for the churchyard. The memorial garden nearby continues to be used many times for the ashes of loved ones It was decided to keep the church open during daylight hoLJrs ès there is nothing to steal and this has been appreciated by many visitors who come to us to look around and for personal prayer. We have had to have temporary repairs to our heating system. The report is, that we will need to replace all the night storage heaters. Although not desperately urgent (the weather has been relatively mild and we have blanketsll this will need to be done by the end of the summer. We have a quote for like for like and research is ongoing for the most eco-friendly/affordatJle system. There are a few small leaks in the Schoolroom roof (buckets in operation at the moment). Companies are being asked to give a quote for repairs. We are making enquiries to the Dorset Historic Churches Trust regarding possible grants for both of the above. A new mower was purchased. This is mainly for our churchyard but 5 also available for Cox trust properties and elsewhere. lan Griffiths, our gardener, is delightedl We are grateful to him and five faithful volunteers who work tirelessly in all weathers in the buildings and churchyards every week. With the help of the diocese, we are researching the possibility of VAT retrospertive repayment for various works. As I come to the end of my first year as Church Warden, I would like to thank Margaret Horton for her continued sUPPOrt and hard work and to thank the congregations of both Churches for their support and encouragement, particularly during the Vacancv. St John's Church- Rev Tom Coopev Over the past year St John's has sought to consolidate some of the growing and recently changed areas of church life as well as expand and develop some new initiatives. In terms of Sundays- the io

The 9am is more liturgical with hymns and familiar choruses. The 10.30am is a more informal and ontemporary. Across the two services we see a wide range of people. Our previously occasional evening worship Services have now become monthly- and these services are well attended and appreciated by a range of people from St John's and a number of other churches. Our Sunday and Home Group teaching programmes thi5 year have focussed on.. Bible Overview, Philippians, Psalms, Romans and a series called 'Amazed by Jesus., We have also spent some time looking at Issues around sexuality and relationships prompted by the Church of England's Living in Love and Faith programme.

A highlight of the year was the visit of the Archbishop of Canterbury on 10th June 2023. He came to formally open and bless Hope House and St John's hosted a big Community Fun Day which was really well attended. This year we have appointed a part time church and Hope House administrator- based at Hope House.

The walk from Durdle Door to Whitchurch, Canonacorum, in july 2023 was a truly enriching experience. Sleeping in churches, halls, and Church gardens along the way provided a unique opportunity for young people to connect with their spirituality and surroLJndings in a meaningful way. The beautiful weather certainly enhanced the experience, allowing for even deeper immersion in nature and reflection on God's wonders. It's wonderful to know that the young people thoroughly enjoyed the journey and that it facilitated plenty of prayer and reflection. Such experiences can leave a lasting impact on one's spiritual growth and appreciation for the world around them. There will be another All Saints Pilgrimage walk this July too. The hope is to engage with Wey Valley School over this next year. Summer of Fun..

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF RADIPOLE AND MELCOMBE REGIS ANNUAL REPORT remainder of 2023 was a time of working through what this meant for St Mary's and adjusting to this change. At the beginning of 2023, 1 was on a Wellbeing Sabbatical, taking a few months off for health reasons. Therefore, during this time our curate Matt, who was in his final year of training helped, along with the church wardens, to oversee the ministry and mission of the church. On my return, Archdeacon Penny Sayers preached and presided at a special Celebration of New Ministry service to mark the change of Vicar and Parish structure. In June we said goodbye to our curate, Revd Matt who whilst was not at St MarW5 for very long, he had provided ministry and pastoral support for the community especially during my time off. july brought celebration5 as we welcomed our new curate, Revd Dan Harland into the Parish and community of Chickerell where he and hi5 wife reside at the Rettory. Remembrance Day saw many from across the District, gathering together in a shared act of worship, that began at the Methodist Church, continued at the War Memorial, and finished with a Eucharist at St Mary's. Revd Dan has been rebuilding links with Chickerell Academy school and was invited to lead KSI & KS2 assemblies at Christmas. We hope that the relationship with the school will grow stronger into 2024. Revd Dan has a150, Wlth the sUPPOrt of the Lay Pastoral Assistants, started monthly services at Queen Charlotte Care Home. In November, Bishop Karen of Sherborne led a Confirmation service at St Mary's and we were able to celebrate as one of the congregation was confirmed into our church family. Christmas brought many celebrations and services intluding, a well-attended Christingle service which involved the school choir. Throughout the year there were many fundraising events whith not only brought in much needed income but also provided a place of welcome, hospitality and links wth the wider community. With coffee mornings, quizzes, soup and roll events, Stalls at the village café, cream teas and a Bazaar, to name just a fewl This ministry provides a fantastic link with the local community as well as raising money for the church. The Food bank continues to serve the most vulnerable across the District and we are hugely grateful for the team who keep this ministry going. Looking forward to 2024, we know there are challenges ahead. However, St Marls Chickerell now also has the support of a wider Parish, who are already generously supporting us in a variety of ways. We know that both our financial situation and the small number of volunteer5 due to an ageing congregation, will bring challenges Eoing forward. We are grateful for both the financial support that the wider parish have provided and also the sUPPOrt of our new treasurer Brian Piper. We know that God is faithful and looking ahead we know that we need to look at the vision and seek God's wisdom for the future. Emrnanuel Church- Re¥ Jo Haine 2023 was a year of celebration l Throughout the year there were numerou5 events that involved great celebrations,. including our 50th celebration, the Kings Coronation, seeing our curate Matt move on and welcoming Dan, our new curate. At the beginning of the year. I was on a Wellbeing Sabbatical, taking a few month5 off for health reasons. During this time our curate Matt, who was in his final year of trainir)g helped, along with the church wardens, to oversee the ministry and mission of the church. 2023 was not only a significant 14
PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF RADIPOLE AND MELCOMBE REGIS ANNUAL REPORT year for Emmanuel church but also the whole community of Southill. 50 years ago, the houses, hurch and school were built and so throughout the year there were 3 variety of different celebrations. This time really brought the church and community together and many of the events were organised in partnership with church, school, the community centre, SPARK & Weymouth Manor Care home. A5 3 church we marked our 50th Anniversary with special service & party on 23rd April. The service was led by Bishop Stephen of Salisbury and Bishop Karen of Sherborne preached. We invited many people from the community and also were really pleased that many of our previous vicar's also came back to celebrate with us. Including, the Right Rev'd Peter Hancock. the recently retired 8i5hop of Bath & Wells,. it isn't every day that you have three 8ishop'5 celebrating with youl The beginning of May was the Coronation Weekend and we joined with people across the whole country and commonwealth to celebrate the Coronation of His Majesty the King and Her majesty the Queen. Over the weekend we took part in the Big Help Out with members of the church and the community coming together to sort and tidy the land opposite church. That same afternoon we had a big Coronation Celebration and we were joined by the Mayor of Weymouth for an event which included music, entertainment for families and a Coronation Bake Off. In June Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury visited the Deanery as part of a Mission Weekend in which he visited various parts of the Diocese of Salisbury. During his time in Weymouth a special service w35 held in the Parish at St John's Church and some members of the TEN45 band lead the sung worship. During June we also said goodbye to our curate Revd Matt, Nikki, Molly & Jessica Renyard as they moved onto his first incumbency. We are thankful to them as a family and pray that they will thrive in their new home in Hemel Hempstead. JLtly brought with it more celebrations as we welcomed our new curate Revd Dan Harland to Emmanuel and celebrated with him at his ordination 35 a Deacon in Salisbury Cathedral. Alongside all these celebrations the regular ministry and mission of the church has continued. Tuesday Coffee shop is thrivin& Toddler Time continues to welcome babies and toddlers along with their parents, carers and grandparents and Luncheon Club has fed and welcomed many. Our film afternoons have brought in people of all ages to share in watching a film on the Big Screen and for the first time in many years we did a fantastic Light Party a5 a Halloween alternative. Fantastic links have been made with the newly opened Weymouth Manor Care Home and there are regular services happening there. Our team of Lay Pastoral Assistants continue to provide pastoral care and the team grew this year with two new people trained and commissioned.. another great celebrationl The link with Southill Primary School remains strong and regular assemblies take place in school. We were a150 able to welcome KS2 children and their families for a Harvest service at church. Christmas activates and services during 2023 were well attended and carol singing took place in the John Gregory Pub. Worship continues on a Sunday with both the 9.30 service and TEN45 offering different expressions of church and midweek Holy Communion on a Tuesday providing a quiet, short said service. This vear our Sunday teaching has been focused on the lectionary reading and midweek teaching has been offered for those wanting to explore issues of Human Sexuality with the Living in Love and Faith Course run for the whole Parish and later in the year the Romans Course run at Emmanuel. An 15
PAROCHIAL CHURCPI COUNCIL OF RADIPOLE AND MELCOMBE REGIS ANNUAL REPORT Advent Quiet Day at the beginning of December also provided a space for those wanting to explore the theme of Waiting on God. The ongoing maintenance of the building has been well attended to. The church roof continues to leak occasionally in a variety of places and this is monitored. We were gifted with a new baptism font and renovation work on the new prayer room was completed both of which were blessed by Bishop Stephen of Salisbury at the 50th Celebration in April. Sadly, in December 2023 we were broken into and repairs needed to take place on the vestry and fire door following this incident. Looking forward to 2024, we are finding it increasingly challenging to ensure we have enough volunteers for the ministry and mission of the church. Many of our amazing team of volunteers are getting older and work commitment5 from our younger congregation means that there are fewer people to get irtrvolved. Luncheon Club which has for 28 year5 provided a monthly hot meal, welcome and companionship for many across the community, sadly paused at the end of 2023. We celebrated the ministry of the Luncheon Club and thanked the volunteers at a special lunch in December. Whilst we know how important this ministry is, without the volunteer base it cannot continue. Going forward we need to explore how we can continue to show the love of God across the community and a priority will be to look for funding options for a children's and family worker. We are aware that there are many opportunities but we are limited by our people power. We long to make Jesus known across the community, to keep growing younger, growing deeper and growing wider and we are seeking wisdom as to how we can do this creatively. St Marfs Church, Weymouth- Rev Tom Coopey. lona McLetxI (Church Warden) Jean Smith (Church Warden). It has been another good and busy year at St Mary's Church. Before Easter 2023 we had the Preciou5 Moments Service, a very poignant service for those who have suffered loss, where those who attend find comfort in their shared sadness. The annual Mico Service on the Friday before Palm Sunday was well attended. The service, organised by The Mico Trust, celebrates the work amongst young people that the Trust supports and welcomes several young people and representatives of local schools, charities arbd businesses. Our Easter services began with a Parish wide Maundy Thursday service. Our Good Friday setvice was led by Rev. Paul Selley. The service was followed by the Witness March, the outdoor service and then about 100 people poured into St Mary's in need of coffee or tea and hot cross bunsl It's 50 good to see people from all the Weymouth churches meeting and enjoying fellowship together. After the Easter holidays Neil Biles, Town Centre Chaplain started the Simeon Room activities again Monday Brunch and Global Cafe for international friendship. Tuesday Coffee and cake and Warm Welcome Lunch. Wednesday Coffee and crafts and Warm Welcome Lunch. A new Life Skills course started on Thursdays. This is a six week course run by jackie Dukes, Melcombe larmin and Neil Biles under the banner of Refresh and CAP I Christians Against Poverty) This was followed in October by a Cooking Skills Course. These courses aim to assist people who really struggle to cope in their daily lives and we are privileged to be able to provide the space for these 5e55ions which help people to 16
PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF RADIPOLE AND MELCOMBE REGIS ANNUAL REPORT better their lives and escape the poverty trap. St Mar5 are proud to continue to provide a b35e for the Street Pastors and Prayer Pastors and, at times, Safe Space who serve Weymouth every Fridav and Saturday night. In May we had a Baptlsm Service, the first for several years, and we had another in August. Both services, led by Tom, were warm and welcoming and we hope to see the families in the future. During the year we enjoyed three church family lunches after the service. These occasions are much enjoyed as we have more time to chat with friends, share a meal and get to know new members better. In June we had our Quinquennial Inspection which was carried out by Daniel Cantrell our church architectural advisor. When the report came it wasn't as bad as we feared but there are still a lot of maintenance recommendations, some of which are urgent, which need doing. Another inspection took place in September when Archdeacon Penny Sayer came to check all our administration- insurance, CCLI, Service records, secure storage of valuables, maintenance records etc. Fortunately we passed this test with no bad marksl Yet another extremely important inspection was the Fire Risk Assessment. Some of our fire safety was fine, other sections need updating or installing. This work is being carried out by PD-Jurassic Fire Protection. We also had a fire drill, the first for several years. after a morning service and we cleared the building in 42 seconds. As we moved into Autumn we celebrated Harvest Festival. Street Pastors celebrated 15 years of ministry in Weymouth with a special and well attended service in October. Before we knew it, we were lighting the Advent candles and preparing for Christmas. In early December St Mary's was once again part of the town Nativity Trail and this year our scene was the visit of the Magi. The Carol Service took place on Sunday 17th December. As last year. it conslsted of all the Nativity readings from the gospels interspersed with Reflections by modern Christian writers, describing the thoughts and feelings of those who were present at the birth of lesu5- Mary, Joseph, shepherds arbd Magi- which add a thoughtful freshness to the Biblical readings. We joyfu11y sang all the favourite carols with wonderful accompaniments from Paul on the organ. Like so many churches we have maintenance and finance problems. Our roof needs repairing la new roof would be even better) guttering and downpipes need replacing, damp and moisture in the walls needs sorting, to name but a few urgent needs. The Bell Tower and Clock have been found to be in fairly urgent need of repair and for this reason we have had to disable the bell. The repairs are likely to Cost about £30,000 and Jeremy Parkinson has undertaken the task of contacting the bell hanging company, finding grants to cover the cost and acquiring the faculty.The funding for the Accessibility Entrance is unfortunately only moving slowly and now stands at £41,725. We need further grants, up to £IOO,000 and new tenders before we tan start this much needed work. The backbone of all our activities- OCC meetings, outreach, fund raising administration etc- is of tourse our worship, study of the Bible, our desire to grow in OLbr faith and share that faith with others- Breakfast Church at 09-00 on Sunday 15 now run by David and Judy Parson. This service of lively music, teaching and informal discussion has grown in numbers. It is very encouraging to see this service opening the faith and showing Jesus to people who might not otherwise attend a churth service. 17
PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF RADIPOLE AND MELCOMBE REGIS ANNUAL REPORT Morning Worship at 11-00 has also grown in numbers. We are so blessed to have leader5 and preachers like Tom, Paul, Carl and D?vid. There is a depth of teaching in these Services plus warmth, fellowship and support of each other and a welcome to newcomers. Tuesday Worship followed by Turn-up Tuesday is another lively worship and informal opening of the faith which meets the needs of those who are searching for faith or who want to find out what Christianity is all ak>out. We have had two 24 hour prayer sessions this year. These are organised by Neil who divides the church and Simeon Room into sections focusing on different needs for prayer in Weymouth and Portland and the Parish. Our weekly Wednesday Life Group run by Rachel and Andrew Knowles is a time of sharing and delving deeper into the themes and sermons we have heard on Sunday. All the above are the mainspring of our church life. We are blessed by all who work for and serve St Mar¥5. Our main thanks must a5 always, go to our Lord who through another year has guided, sustained, proterted and answered our prayers. Parish Treasurer- Neil BiSe5 I'm pleased to report that for 2023 we were able to cover all the costs of being church in our communities. The largest proportion of cost is for Parish Share that covers the three clergy. The share covers salaries, homes, maintenance, training of future ministry and pensions. The share also covers core costs such admin15tration and safeguarding and a contribution tOW3rds the work of the Archbishops Council. The graph below shows the contributions by each Church in pourbds and percentages. The total Share paid for 2023 was £222.328. Parish Share for 2023 • St Mary's £17,055 • Stjohn's £43,799 . Radipole £112,819 Emmanuel £30,246 8%8% 13% 20% 51Y¢ We will have a new system of Share for 2024. The next large proportion of our cost5 goes on staff who play an important part in the life of the Parish and Churches. The Parish Administrator is covered by contributions from all churches. Other staff are covered by congregational members giving, applying to trusts or grants given. Without these staff we would not have been able to achieve the impact in 2023. All buildings are in a reasonable state of repair and continue to be invested in and all associated tost such as facilities were covered. 18
