Su
estad Rèview of the Year for 2023
The congregations at all three churches mel for worship each Sunday moming during th8
year. The year began with a joint Communion service and breakfast at st Martin's. The All
Age seNices al Sl George's and St Martin's are led by All Age teams. Sadly, the Glascale
Melhodisl Church has closed, bul St George's ha5 been delighted lo welcome members from
there into its congregation, and to provide a space for the Fellowship group to continue to
meet. Al Sl Georg8's, we ensured that provision was in place for the continuation of Sunbeams
meetings, which are extremely well attended. This Initiative was begun by Revd Sarah
Bennett. St George's Preschool is thriving and financially stable.
Social ev8nts for the community. such as the Community Breakfast, Open Ooor, Strawberry
Cream Tea, Beetle Drive and Skittles Nighl at St George's, Plac8 ofwarmlh and Welcome at
St Martin's and Sl Peter's, Make Lunch al St Martin's and Aslan's Gang at Sl Peter's all
continued lo thrive. All churches have continued to 8nioy good relationships with lo¢al schools,.
Sl Peter's and Sl George's held popular Messy Church sessions for all their local schools.
School assemblies have been held in our local schools and St Peter's and Sl Martin's ran
Holiday Clubs during August. St George's held a small number of re-wilding servic8s, and
continued lo provide a monthly Servi￿ lor a local Care Home.
Christmas was ¢elebraled in style in all the churches wth a range of services and the placing
of nativity gat8-posI and post box loppers. There were Christingle services held in the
parish. St George's hosted a Kinlsugi Hopa Explored Cours8. and St Peter's and Sl Martin's
started the Grow Course, run by the Centre for Church multiplication. All three churches hold
regular meetings for prayer and urgent prayers are circulated through e-mail chains. St Peter's
Centre continues lo thrive and is financially stable. The Parish ran a Lent course for all three
churches, with meetings each evening moving around the Ghurches. Bishop Clive made one
final visit lo Sl Peler's before his r8b'rement, and the parish remain grateful for his significant
support.
Home Groups and small groups operate al St Martin's and Sl George's. All churches continue
lo be involved in the Shaping for fvlission initiative as the Oeanery seeks 10 fi'nd a way forward
logether. Revd Gary Simrnons had 6 weeks study leave, followed immediately by 2 weeks
holiday., this was a fruitful tim8 for him.
As a parish we have be8n encouraged by the arrival of new worshippers in our churches.
Together we look foNard to continuing to go deeper with God and to serving our
congregations and communities in his Name.
