Review of the year
Our Parish Mission Statement is:- ‘Joined together in Christ to reach those who do not know Christ’
The full PCC has met quiet a few times this year, mainly to discuss The Parish Profile, which is a document to offer information about our three churches, with the aim of employing a new Team Rector, because Rev Gary Simmons retired in May 2024.
The meetings also met to review and encourage activities at the three district churches.
Review of the Year for 2024
The congregation of all three churches still meet in their respective buildings every Sunday morning, where everyone is offered a warm welcome, invigorating worship and refreshments afterwards enabling new and old friends to meet.
2024 started off with a combined service, starting with breakfast and closing with Communion. Easter Holy week also offered the chance to worship together with prayers each evening at one of the Churches.
Social events are a big thing amongst the Churches, inviting each other to partake in games and refreshments. St George’s arranged a Cream Tea, skittles night, Beetle Drive, and a Community Breakfast once a month, it also ran another Kintsugi Hope Course.
St Peter’s hosted another Alpha Course, ran a Holiday Club with a day trip to Skegness at the end, they still run a very successful Youth group (Aslan’s Gang), both St Peter’s and St Martin’s hold a Place of Welcome weekly coffee morning with a weekly afternoon Chat and Chatter session at St Martin’s. St Martin’s still runs Make Lunch sessions during school holidays for families on Universal Credit, ensuring they all receive warm freshly made meals, craft activities and friendly company. St Martin’s held a fund-raising Big Quiz for Tearfund which all three churches supported. Holistic small groups still run and give members encouragement and the chance to strengthen their faith. Connections with local Schools is still ongoing.
With Revd. Gary Simmons retiring it has been a busy time for Rev James Moring being the only paid Minister, although he has been supported by retired PTO Ministers, one at St Martin’s and St George’s respectively and two at St Peter’s.
2024, has had its trials for all three churches, but they continue to offer Gods Love and Understanding to its members and local communities.
