ested Review of the Year for 2022
Recovery from lock down was ongoing throughout 2022. although by the end of the year most
members of the congregation had relumed to church. There was. however, a significant
reduction in the number of people prepared to take up voluntary roles.
The congregations at all three churches met for worship each Sunday moming during the
year. St Peter's now offers a Sunday evening service onca a monlh. The year began with a
joint Communion service and breakfast at St Martin's. and the Deanery Confimation servi
took place in St Peter's. Sadly the parish had to say farewell lo Rev Sarah Bennett as she
moved to Kettering to take up her first appointment. We celebrated the Queen's Jubilee and
also offered our local communities the opportunity lo remember the late Queen after her death.
Social events for the community. such as the Community Breakfast, Open Door, Strawberry
Cream Tea and Skittles Night at St George's. Place of Welcome at Sl Martin's and St Peter's,
Make Lunch at Sl Martin's and Aslan's Gang at St Peter's were all well-received. All churches
have continued lo enjoy good relationships with l¢xal schools- St Peter's held Messy Church
sessions for Oakhill School. School assemblies have been held in our local schools and St
Peter's and St Martin's ran Holiday Clubs dunng August. A highlighl for St George's was the
thirtieth anniversary celebration of the opening of the pre-school. The 'Sunbeams' toddler
group has had a fruifful year, with numbers flourishing.
Chrislrnas was celebrated in style in all the churches with a range of services and the placing
of nativity gate-post and post box toppers. Thefe were Christingle ServI￿S held in the
parish. Sl Peter's and St Martin's ran Alpha Courses during the year. and the Difference
course during Lent. St George's enjoyed a profitable Leaders Awayday in January and a
Pansh Weekend was held al St George's in November. All three church8s hold regular
meétings for prayer and urgent prayers are circulated through eamail chains.
Home Groups and small groups operate at Sl Peter's and St George's. St George's has also
begun to offer a 'Re-Wilding' service which is open to the Deanery. 'Believe', an occasional
gathering for young people in the Deanery. has also begun. All churches were also involved
in the Shaping for MiSs￿n initiative as the Deanery sought to find a way forward together.
As a parish we have been encouraged by the arrival of n8w worshippers in our churches.
Together we look fornvard lo continuing to go deeper with God and to serve our congregations
and commtjnities in his Name.
