Rectors Report for The Parish of Burbage with Aston Flamville January 2020 - December 2021
This past year has once again brought about massive challenges for us, dealing with the Covid 19 Pandemic which has affected all our world, the way we live, work and meet together. We were in and out of lockdown, constantly changing our Risk Assessment and Safety procedures in order to provide a safe place for us to hold Church services.
I must thank all those involved in keeping the life and worship of the Church going and their efforts towards the Mission and Ministry to all of us and indeed the wider community.
My report for the year end of 2021, is different from previous years. I have asked the ministry team from our Churches to tell you what happened in the differing areas of our life together this past year, this gives you a flavour of what we are doing on a regular basis, week in and week out.
I however want to focus our attention towards the future and the forth coming changes that will occur in the new Diocesan structure called “Shaped by God Together” and the new mission communities.
We have over this past year had several PCC meetings where we talked about this structure and the Diocese of Leicestershire too has held various seminars and zoom meetings to convey what this may look like.
In this report I would like for us to give some thought to our current Mission and Ministry, which are part of our charitable objectives and set alongside them some thoughts of how we may embrace the change and see how we can adapt to this new scenario whilst maintaining what is great and good about the Parish of Burbage & Aston Flamville.
With regard to our current Mission Statement is;
To provide access to our Church facilities for public worship, in the form of daily offices, the sacraments and other forms of Common Prayer and for private worship on a regular basis
To encourage the widest involvement worshippers in the work of the Church through recognition and acceptance of the wealth of human gifts within the community.
To address actively the physical needs of the local community through involvement in organisations committed to the welfare of all
To promote and engage in environmental issues and represent the same in the life of the Church.
To promote the awareness of involvement of the Church in international issues of current ethical, social, and political concerns, in the spirit of love and acceptance
To seek to recognise Christ in the diversity of our neighbours regardless of race, colour, creed, gender, disability, sexuality, or other individual quality.
To encourage greater involvement to those seeking baptism, marriage, and funerals in other areas of the Church and its life and worship.
Looking forward then, let us prayerfully look together at our future:
The Parish of Burbage with Aston Flamville Ministry and Mission for the future
For some years now at Burbage Infant school has had the following mission statement.
Loving; Living; Learning
These words emerged as a result of our consultation and continued engagement with parents, grandparents, carer’s teachers and children of the. They have become our Mission Statement, which embraces who we are and what we believe and where our aim is focused.
Loving
We all belong to the Parish of Burbage with Aston Flamville, we also have an extended family (school, church, community). We all care for everyone within it.
We believe everyone can be a good friend.
'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ Matthew 22:37
Living
We work hard at learning to live together and to be the best we can. We celebrate everybody’s strengths, and embrace each other’s differences, respecting all, and living honest lives together.
‘Love your neighbour as you love yourself.’ Luke 10:27
Learning
Learning is amazing, and we all strive to discover the next exciting adventure. We all believe that we can, and if we can’t now, we will soon.
‘Everyone who hears these words and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.’ Matthew 7:24
The most fundamental command – or invitation – in the Bible is to love the Lord our God with all our heart and mind and strength, and to love our neighbour as ourself.
This pertains primarily to our life together and our worship; how we in turn then reflect the nature of the God we worship in such a way that orders our lives and our society. We love God, our neighbour and the world that is God’s creation.
Christianity is an incarnational faith and as such we are committed to the world as it is, getting stuck in and not exempting ourselves from all that the world throws at us. Christian discipleship is not an insurance policy against trouble; if anything, it might invite trouble. Jesus was not crucified for getting his vocation or his message wrong.
Loving our neighbour means loving our neighbourhood and striving for the flourishing of individuals and our community or society. If God loved the world so much, then so must we. And this implies that our living in the world is done with the sort of faith and joy that is rooted in resurrection with hope in a God who is not defeated by violence or death.
A God that surprises earth with heaven and offers an alternative to the anger and fatalism that too easily pervades our public discourse.
How then, should we behave, how should we prioritise its resources, demonstrate its commitment to all people so that we look something like the Jesus we read about in the Gospels and whose ‘body’ we are?
Our Mission is for us all to become a loving, living, and learning community of people who are adventurous in their faith and willing to help shape our community with confident humility into a better place for all.
Loving; Living; Learning isn’t just our latest catchphrase - it is our hope that like our school community it becomes our life shape. Throughout the year we will as a leadership team invite you to join us in shaping our community for the good of all. We intend to host several events throughout the year to talk about these three words and what they mean to us and how they can shape outlives in the years to come.

CHURCH WARDENS REPORT ST CATHERINE’S
2021
At the close of 2021 there were 121 parishioners on the Electoral Roll.
During 2021 the P.C.C. met six times and the Finance and General Purposes Committee seven times, with all meetings taking place in both live and Zoom formats due to Covid 19 restrictions.
Lockdown returned on the 5[th] of January and services went once again solely online.
One of the continuing challenges of the Pandemic was to maintain our ‘Rhythm of Life’ mission for the church family. Father Andrew’s Rota for daily services: Morning Prayer, mid-week Eucharist via Zoom, and Compline via Facebook Live continued throughout 2021
Sunday Eucharist services have been held every week, initially entirely by Zoom celebrated by Father Andrew from the Rectory, and later as ‘hybrid’ services from church and the Rectory. All services in church and via Zoom have been well attended up to the limits allowed under Covid 19 restrictions.
Eucharistic services have been recorded and are available to watch on YOUTUBE. Both the church and the choir have built up a significant number of subscribers.
Throughout the year a 10 a.m. Morning Prayer service has been held via Zoom. This has been both popular and a beneficial source of contact for all participants.
St Catherine’s Church has continued to be opened for Quiet Prayer and foodbank donations on Monday mornings, Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings.
Nightly Compline has also been available and is led on different nights by Clergy and Lay members of our church.
Throughout the Lockdown period Father Andrew and other members of the Clergy have made regular phone contact with parishioners and cards of prayer and encouragement have been sent on a regular basis to all. We are grateful to Father Andrew, our Honorary Priests and Laity who have provided the community with these much-needed services.
Although the THRIVE BLOSSOM PROJECT continues to be suspended due to Covid restrictions Louise Brown organised a group of students from Hastings High School who are participating in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme to work in the Church grounds. They have helped to clear weeds and prepare the grounds for the planting of the proposed Rose Garden in the Spring of 2022.
2021 saw the continued cancellation of all our major fund-raising activities. However, we did manage to hold some events in a virtual format with a Burns Night, a St Patrick’s Night and a St Georges Afternoon Tea taking place that were enjoyed by all
who took part. Income from weddings, baptisms and funerals has been severely curtailed. Tim, in his Treasurers Report, will give more detail of this.
During the year there have been 8 weddings, 24 baptisms and 43 Funeral/Committal services held.
Ros Harper was ordained Priest in October when the Bishop and Arch Deacon were able to attend, taking up her role as Curate of our parish. Philip her husband became a Licensed Lay Reader in January, and we welcome their contribution to our parish life and mission.
The choir continues to provide sterling support to our services, enhancing our worship via recorded and live hymns and videos put together by Alice, Martin and Shaun.
The Brass Plaque scheme was reintroduced with many new people taking up new ones and the old ones being refurbished. Thanks are due to John and Shirley Bevington who have undertaken this initiative.
The Church Terrier has been totally reproduced and updated by Vicki and Jerry Dolphin and a brilliant job was made of it.
The year 2021 was a most unusual year for everyone. The continuous sad news of Covid 19 deaths throughout the country has impacted us all, and it appears difficult to see anything positive. Yet there are many positives for us to reflect on and thank God for:
-
the recognition in the wider community that everyone is created equal and that our world functions best when we recognise and appreciate this.
-
the spiritual and supportive leadership of Father Andrew and the Parish team.
-
the opportunities for daily prayer and mutual support.
-
the continuing generosity of our support for the Foodbank.
-
the opening of Church for Sunday services and quiet prayer.
-
the knowledge that as a Christian Community we care and pray for each other and the World our Creator has given to us.

St.Peter’s Church ,Aston Flamville. 2021 Summary Report
2021 was, once again a challenging time for everyone, with periodic lockdowns and restrictions on historic “normal life”. The whole Church and Community have pulled together to make the best of what we could influence, and this support is greatly appreciated.
Services : 27 Services were held made up of 2 Funerals, 2 Marriages, 7 Baptisms,10 Holy Communions,5 Family Services & 1 Evensong.
Finance: The increase in services improved the fee income from marriages and funerals, and collection income from baptisms. Costs were kept to a minimum, albeit we decided to ensure that the churchyard was fully maintained in order to maintain the attractiveness of the Church. The annual grant from Blaby DC towards churchyard maintenance costs for 2021 did not land into our account until Jan 22, so as we report on a cash basis we cannot include it our 2021 accounts.(£537 was received on 4/1/22).
The Christmas Raffle raised £872 ,thanks to those who donated the prizes.
St Peter’s accounts also include an income of £7500 received from LDBF reference the lease of Aston Flamville Glebe Land to Elgin Solar Farms.
Bank balances at 31/12/21 were £12010.93. St Catherine loan is £8000 hence St Peter’s year-end balance is £20,,010.93.
Queen Elizabeth Platinum Jubilee: It is proposed that a portion of the churchyard is dedicated to the Queen’s Jubilee and children of the village design and plant this area.

Treasurers Report Year Ended 31 December 2021
This is a report regarding 2021 which will concentrate on how we have managed our finances coming out of a very difficult time re-opening following lockdown due to Covid, which was a very difficult time for us all.
During the two lockdowns in 2020 and into 2021 we looked at ways of how to manage our income and expenditure and, as my 2020 report says, the approach taken was one of looking at the ‘worst case scenario’ which I feel was vindicated looking at the results achieved in 2020 and 2021 which you will see in the statement of financial accounts. The light at the end of the tunnel I mentioned, certainly grew bigger but we’re still not completely out of the but can at least smell the fresh air.
The first thing you see is the effect of re-opening the church in terms of income, we held weddings and funerals, leading to an increase of income in that department of £6,390, and £602 for the collections. Contactless receipts shot up by £1,500, the take up for plaques for pews increased by £1,260. We had a Christmas fayre which took £2,322 and a parish lunch which took £1,502.
That’s £13,567 of income that came as a result of the church being re-opened, and we need to remember that this happened part way through the year.
This indicates the sort of effect the lockdown had and in my mind justifies the approach we took to managing the finances during that period.
Other things to note though were that we were down in income in terms of grants , especially the JRS Furlough money which ceased that year, however that was more than made up by the grant received of £11,550 specifically for re-opening of the church.
Looking now at the giving one interesting point to note is that ‘other planned giving – weekly envelopes’ which represents the donations made on line rather than in church, is down by £4,247. This is not, as expected, been countered by an increase in weekly envelope giving, but an increase of £5,040n in donations by standing orders. I shall therefore this year be looking at the weekly envelopes as it seems to me that a number of regular givers are now giving their weekly donation by standing order.
On giving, the total for 2021 is £37,442 compared to £35,466 in 2022, a £2,000 increase. The eagle eyed amongst you will see though that the gift aid is down and wonder why, the answer is that if you have a look at the donations received. There was a large gift aided donation in 2020 which accounts for the difference.
Total income for the year is down £14,220 but this can be accounted for by looking at the grant income. The grant income for 2020 was £30,342, and for 2021 was £18,959 a reduction of £11,383. This means that the non-grant income was up £9,383, which is a great result.
Expense wise, it is expected that when we re-opened expenditure would increase and this is borne out in the accounts showing an increase of £12,600, but if you look at other resources used we spent £12,469 of the grant income, balancing out the grant receipts.
In addition, there was no spending in 2021 (compared to 2020) for the kitchen refurbishment, and repairs and renewals but the effort in keeping the income rolling in enabled us to pay for the mission pavilion in the Rectory Garden.
We also paid our Parish Contribution of £25,000 along with the share for Aston Flamville of £1,000 which has reduced the loan from them as shown in the balance sheet.
All in all we had an operating profit of £6,611 compared to 2020 which was £33,431.
Once again, when asked to dig deep you did, when asked to give extra you did, when invited to events you did. This effort is greatly appreciated by myself, Father Andrew, the Church Wardens, and the rest of the finance team.
Finally, please keep it up, we will always welcome more your continued support is vital. Just remember, the more you give, the more gift aid we can claim!
With eternal thanks
Tim Neal Treasurer

Deanery Synod report for APCM 2022
There were 3 Deanery Synod meetings of the Sparkenhoe West Deanery Synod held in 2021. There was a meeting on 2[nd] March held by Zoom, a meeting was held on 15[th] July in the Rector’s Garden here in Burbage and a meeting held at Sheepy Church, on Saturday 25[th] September.
Deanery Synod on 2[nd] March was held by Zoom and was the first meeting of the new triennium, a new Standing Committee was appointed, and members introduced themselves; Father Andrew is a member. The Diocesan Report covered Shaped by God and Everyday Calling, and a contribution of £500k to the Cathedral Development Fund by the Diocese.
The second meeting was held on 15[th] July in the Rector’s Garden here in Burbage. The Area Dean (Mark Poskitt) welcomed new members and we then had a service of Holy Communion.
Mark gave details of clergy changes in the Deanery, then spoke about the recent Extended Bishop’s Council to discuss ‘Shaped by God Together’. Diocesan Synod elections have been held, Rev Andrew was one of the appointed.
The meeting concluded with refreshments provided by the church which were very well received.
A meeting held at Sheepy Church, on 25[th] September was open to all parishioners. The day opened with refreshments, a welcome by the Area Dean, and then a time of worship led by Mike Kelly representing The Youth Council of the Diocese of Leicester. This was followed by talks by Jane Woolmer from 'A Rocha UK' followed by Anne Scott of Holy Trinity Leicester.
Revd Andrew Hall and Louise Brown of St. Catherine's, Burbage spoke about 'The Blossom Project'. They talked about their becoming an 'Eco Church', and for which they have received a Gold Award from A Rocha. The latest project is centred around the theme of 'reclaiming waste and barren parts of the church yards and community spaces, replanting and recreating our heritage'. He encouraged other churches to pursue these ideas, and how to involve the community to take part also.
The final speaker was Martin Cartwright from the HBBC.
At the business meeting it was reported that three local priests have retired and are not likely to be replaced for a while.
Elections were held for the General Synod. The Diocese is looking to the future, following 'Shaped by God Together'. The proposed new areas are being referred to as Minster Area Communities. The scheme has been accepted by Bishop's Council and was put to Diocesan Synod at their meeting in October, it is expected that the plans will be fully implemented by 2026.

SCHOOL & COMMUNITY WORKER, ENVIRONMENTAL CHAMPION
ANNUAL REPORT 2022
For the first couple of months, I was on furlough, but returned part-time in March.
Over the past 12 months I have been active within Burbage Infant School, delivering collective worship each week. During lockdown we only had a little contact, but from April I was providing a weekly on-line collective worship, filmed, and sent in. We have also filmed Open the Book in the church for the children to watch in school.
Harvest was celebrated in school but for Remembrance we gathered in Pughe’s Paddock with the Junior School to commemorate. Usually, we hold a service for the Reception Year children in the church, again this was done online, recorded in the church so the children could see what the church is like inside.
From September I went into the school on a weekly basis, to catch up with the teachers and make sure they have got everything they need and deliver faceto-face collective worship.
I was also invited to join in their Year 1 ‘Creation’ Day where we spent the morning outside, planting seeds, making grass angels, collecting leaves, rolling down the hill and looking at what we could see in the playground.
Unfortunately, the decision was made not to allow the Infant or Junior schools into church for their Christmas performances, but Sketchley Hill Junior School did attend for their performance.
Fr Andrew and I attended the Year 2 Leavers Collective Worship outside, and the children received their bibles.
I have also attended the PTFA meetings for both schools.
I have also attended many webinars and training for children’s workers and for the digital side of the church.
Fresh Ground has not been successful this year, so the decision was made to cease these services and reflect on what else we could offer, possibly Messy Church.
Christmas saw a mixture of online and face t0 face services with a Christingle service taking place outside in our new bell tent and Christmas Eve crib services streamed on our Facebook and YouTube channels.
Baptisms have continued to gain momentum and we are experiencing many enquiries for this year and for next.
Brownies returned to face-to-face meetings in September and were joined by a Rainbow Unit which meets from 5pm-6pm, before Brownies.
I have returned to college to complete my degree in Mission and Ministry, which I will finish in 2022.
Sparklers Toddler Group also returned in September, and we have seen new faces within our group, as well as some of the regular attendees.
Climate Sunday was celebrated this year and I have continued to attend webinars and trainings regarding climate change and Eco Church and was asked to participate in an on-line training.
Hastings High School Duke of Edinburgh students have started to help with the Wildlife Garden as part of their volunteering section.
We have added another bin to collect crisp packets to our collection in church and this is proving popular.
I also attended the Deanery Day in September to share our thoughts on climate change, and we participated again in this year’s Scarecrow Festival.
I also attended the Welcome back to Burbage day in August to introduce what we are doing in the community.

Curate’s Report
The year began with another lockdown and a return to hybrid services. The church remained open for private prayer and this was a regular and important support for many, including members of the wider community. As restrictions eased it was a joy to welcome people back to church and to meet many people in person for the first time. I have been able to be out and about a lot more, going into Burbage Infant School to lead assemblies and taking services in Moat House. I have appreciated being able to meet more people in person and to begin home communions and pastoral visits. It was also a pleasure to finally be able to welcome people to our home for the Curate’s Tea party in August.
Although I have been in Burbage for a while now there were still a lot of ‘firsts’. I have been able to engage with the local community and participate in some of the key local events such as the Remembrance Parade, the Arts Festival and Carols round the Tree.
In October I was ordained priest, and it was wonderful to have the service at St Catherine’s and to be able to have more people present. It has been a joy and a privilege to celebrate the Eucharist and I very much appreciate everyone’s support and encouragement. I have gained much experience of the occasional offices having taken seventeen funerals, five baptisms and two weddings this past year. As part of my ongoing curate training, I have also attended training about bereavement, unconscious bias and leading good meetings.
As the year progressed and restrictions eased, I have been provided a wealth of opportunities and a good foundation from which to discern my next steps after curacy.
