Vicar's report 'A new command Igweyou.. Love one onother, As I have lovedyou, soyou must love one onother. By this everyone will know thatyou ore my disciples, ifyou Jove one another.", Uohn 13.34-35} My favourlte day in the church calendar is Maundy Thursday. I love the rich variety of stories that emanate from that day, which have had such a ripple-effect in the way we act as the church of God. I love the way we creatively explore these stories during Holy Week at St Marls and St Luke's. gathering with food around a table and sharing our Slories of sufferin& our stories of loving, our stories of living. Jesus's 'new commandment. to love one another, isjust one of the powerful stories of that day, whlch glves shape to what li means to be a people seeklng to be more Ilkejesus. 2023 is now another artefart in the history of this parish, this people and this place. We have sought to love one another, and to share the love of God we encounter in Christ with those around us. In this brief pOrt you'll find some of the stories of how we're doing this. It is not difficult to be the vicar of St MaS Spring Grove. There is an abundance of love, which I get to share in. l am grateful to so many people who do so much in rhe life of this parish. Your contribution is so valuable and we need you - thank you. In March we welcomed Bishop Emma as the new Bishop of Kensington. and she visited twice in that first month, as part of a prayer pilgrimage across the Transforming Southall and Hounslow Mission Zone (of which we are members) and on a whistlestop tour of the deanery (where I got to be chauffeurl) During Lent we were already using Bishop Emma's Lent reflections, Dust + Glory in our online morning prayer, and she was able tojoin us live for one of these. We were also blessed by the visit of the Bishops of London and Willesden Iplus their considerable entourages) to our Eco Event at St Luke's, as part of the Archbishop of Canterburys vislt to the Mission Area. Although Justin Welby couldn't make it to us that day (his mother sadly died that morning) he did make it to Hounslow later, and I was pictured worshiping in the seNice at which he spoke, before performing a spoken word poem I'd written that day (see below). Being able to gather the wider community is always a joy, whether through the fun of a quiz night, to showcase eco attivities in the garden at St Luke's or for the Kin¥5 Coronation. The culmination of our community activities has to be the Christmas Fair in early December, which was enhanced by a Christmas Tree Festival of over 25 trees donated by community groups, and got us in the Christmas spirit, with the knock-on effect of larger attendance at all our services. The Community Hub at St Luke's on Tuesdays has continued to reach out to those experiencing hardship in our community. Hounslow has the second highest population of asylum seekers in the country, and we see many on Tuesdays, where we are able to offer clothin& English language learning and the opportunity to sit, eat, or volunteer.
Grant money from the Hounslow Community Energy FLtnd has meantwe were able to make improvements to the building, making it a warmer and friendlier environment for all. Good relationship with New Creation Christian Fellowship and Hope for Hounslow, who rent our church space, has enabled us to work generously with others who seek to proclaim that Jesus Saves,. In May, we remembered our sister Marion Wartnan with a musical tribute, and a mass choir singing sections of Handel's Messiah. Music continues to be an important aspect of our worshiping life, in a variety of ways. We now worship on fourth Sundays In the Millennium Hall, and these informal services have grown during the year. Of course, I couldn't reflect on 2023 without remembering the devastating loss of our churchwarden and dearfriend, Sharrion Llewellyn. after a cancer diagnosis that turned OUE ro be inoperable. Before she died, she gathered friends and family to St Luke's, where her son Isaac and his band played the most amazing rnusic in her presence. li was moving and unforgettable, as was her funeral service in November. We miss you, Sharrion. We also lost two other giants in the larger story of St Marls within a week of each other. and many came to celebrate the lives ofjoan Hazell an(5JohnJames. Part of our response tojesus, commandment to love one another is to accompany people in theirgrief. We once again ran The 8ereavementJourney in the autumn, and ran contemplative services for All Souls and Remembrance Sunday. We are growing this work in 2024 with a new drop-in café to support bereavement and loss. and to help us talk about death and dying. Ministry at 5t Maws is very much a team effort, which I'm proud to head up. Fi was ordained priest injune, and, at the cathedral in November, our lay ministers were licensed for another five years. The ministry team does so much at St Marls and St Luke's on Sundays, of course, but have a wider influence which you may not know of. Fi, as well a5 being our curate, serves a5 the estates ministry advocate for the Kensington Area. Nick provided cover and led many services at All Saints Isleworth, during their vacancy. John took the funeral of Edith Abraham. a long time member of the congregation at St Luke's. Linda ha5 overseen our vvelcome and hospitality ministry, as we work to put this at the heart of everything we do. Over the nexr year, we need to grow our ministry team, as we prepare to say goodbye to Nick and Fi. so if God is calling you to a new vocation in our church, please speak to me. Revd Elis Matthews
Churchwarden's report "For where rtrvo or three cJregathered in my ngme, there l am among them." (Matthew 18.201 The past year has been challenging for the parish. Much work goe5 into looking after the buildings. running services, outreach, and all the other roles and activities that just happen,. They are a testament to the faith, generosity and hard work of many people. I would like to thank Jessica Sobryan for herskill and hard work in the church office, all those retiring from their positions, and everyone who ha5 contributed to the life of our parish In the last year. Injune we were delighted that Fi was formally ordained Priest at St Paul's, Hammersmith. She can now preside at communion services. We live-streamed the service in church for anyone to watch. In early 5ummer- we held a Pcc'away da In Church - the purpose was to allow a deep-dive into initiatives that would help our mission. We looked at our current structure and how we could reorganise it to better support our initiatives. We came up with a number of subgroups, and would like more members of the congregation to sign up and get involved. The subgroups are: Buildings & Maintenance Worship & Discipleship Community & Compassion Finarice & Fundraising Plannlng & Proce55 Welcome & Hospitality. The PCC also had our annual discu$5ion about the Common Fund (the amountwe provide to the Kensington Area for the work of Church mi55ion & ministry). We are provided with a Suggested amount, and then it is up to us to decide whether we can offer what is requested, pay more, or pay less. At St MaW5 we have traditionally offered more than requested. offsetting lower offers from poorer churche5. After much debate we reduced the extra percentage we would offer for the following year because we felt that we needed to use some money for our own ministry needs. We appointed a new Quinquennial Inspector and we had our S-yearly inspection carried out on the church buildings to ensure they are maintained adequately. This report provides a maintenance programme for rhe'Buildlngs & Maintenance. subgroup. Sally Martin-Brown has diligently organised the music. choir and organists, and we must thank her and all those involved in suppor(ing our musical offering at setvices. However, another Churchwarden responsibility is to ensure that organ is looked after. Towards the end of the year a section of the organ ceased working, so a fundraising appeal was launched. The aim is to get this fixed by Easter 2024, and to have raised
sufficient funds to carry out a full condition survey of the organ. This will provide us with a good maintenance guide for the years to come, At St Luke's the clothing bank and the Roots &Shoots projects have become important weekly features, led by Denise Toye and Fi Budden. Refurbishment work has continued, and the building is being used more. The following reports give a short summary of life at St Maws and St Luke's during 2023. Andy Bellis (Churchwarden) Curate's report "Behold, l am doing u new thing,. now it springsforth, dowu notperceive ity Ilsaiah 43.191 Behold, l am doing a new thingi now It springs forth, do you not percelve In some ways. the curate's ministry could be summed up in this phrase from Isaiahl That said, l am starting to realise that God is always doing a'new thing. This is the exciting aspect of being involved in leading 3 church,. looking to see where God is nudging. keeping us awake in the Gospel. Of course, my main new thing during 2023 was being ordained a Priest and my memories of presidlng at my first Holy Communions- both at St Marfs and St Luke's- will be treasured. It has been ajoy to continue in service at St Maws and St Luke's and to feel increasingly assured in my ministry. Elis has provided me with a broad range of opportunities to 'learn my trade,, for which I'll always be grateful. In terms of highlights, the BMO mission vi51t injuly, when the bishop of London, the bishop of Willesden and their entourage descended on a community day at St Luke's was wonderful. Mostly because it was great forthe community of St Luke's, whether connected to the Tuesday Community Hub or Sunday worship, to be so visible and celebrated - and the Sun shonel I've loved my involvement In every aspect of church life at St Marys and St Luke's over the last year. from the privilege of accompanylng people on the sad journey of105ing loved-ones to the wonderful opportunity of my first bapt15m. Thank you for all your support and gentle encouragement over the year. I very much look forward to continuing my journey with the people of St Maryls and St Luke's and the surroundir)g parish, as we seek to be children of God; speaking and living the word of Chris( in all areas of our lives. Revd Fi Budden
Secretary's report on the proceedings of the PCC The PCC introduced changes to the way it worked during 2023. It reduced the number of full PCC meetings throughout the year from nine to six. It 31so creating a number of sub-groups which would lead on particular areas of work. These areas are: Worship and discipleship Buildings and maintenance Finance and fundraisirsg Welcome and hospitality Community and compassior) Planning and process. Some of the groups are already more established than others. 'Buildings and maintenance, for example comprlses the old'Fabric group'_ whereas'community and compassion, is a new group which focuses not only on pastoral care to members of our own congregation- but also looks at how we engage vvith our local community and respond to the needs we encounter. Introducing the groups has also led to changes in PCC reporting and to more conver5ation5 about areas that we have not focused on in the recent past. The PCC reviews all our policies and procedures regularly and is responsible for the effective implementation of safeguarding practices. The PCC ha5 also begun an overhaul of how we decide on which charitable causes to support, There will be more on that later in 2024. The PCC decided to continue our generous SUPPOrt for the Common Fund and which in turn helps those Churches who may be struggling financially. We are one of the few Churches in the area that pays above our quota. The PCC appointed a new Quinquennial Architect in 2023 and received his first report in the Autumn. The report is already gulding our programme of planned maintenance and repalrs. The PCC met six times overthe course of the last year and the average attendance was fourteen people. Steve Joyce (PCC Secretary) Please note.. the Treosurers report is included in the separote docun7ent along with the annuol accounts and independent examinerfs report.
Safeguarding report At the May PCC meering. St Marls PCC agreed and adopted the House of Bishops. 'Promoting a Safer Church: Safeguarding Policy Statement,, which is based on five foundations and offers six overarching policy commitments: Promoting a safer envlronment and cukure Safely recruiting and supporting all those wlth any responsibility related to children. young people and vulnerable adults within the Church Responding promptly to every safeguarding concern or allegation Caring pastorally forvictims/survivors of abuse and other affected persons Caring pastorally for those who are the subjectof concerns or allegations of abuse and other affected persons Responding to those that may pose a present risk to others. The PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016, in relation ¢0 having due regard to House of Bishops, guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. The PCC has continued using the Parish Dashboards resource, which monitors safeguarding procedures and produces an ac¢ion plan. Towards the end of 2023. Zosia Thackray stood down as Safeguarding Officer, and responsibilities for the role reverted to me. In early 2024 the PCC appointed Lesley Taberner as Parish Safeguarding Officer and Lavinia Pashley-wilkins as Deputy Safeguarding Officer. Revd Elis Matthev¥s (Vicar) Buildings and maintenance report Replacement LED lighting. funded by the Hounslow Community Energy Fund, has been installed throughout both halls and includes additional security lighting for the Centenary Hall pathway. Our new PV roof inverter fitted in late 2022, again courtesy of the HCEF, began to show, in late May, faults in or on the roof, and was not generatin8 at all in the second half of the year. On the upside. HCEF lighting changes are experted to give St Marls annual savings of over4000kWh, oraround £900. Good for us, good forthe planet and good for Eco Church! Final work on the project at St Marys remained for completion early in 2024. (Spoiler alert ~ it was1)
We part-glazed and repaired the Centenary Hall front doors 10 improve daylight and warmth in the lobby and their overall elCOme, In August. our steeplejack installed ladders to assess and repalr weather damaged stonework right to the top of the spire. IVS a longjob and sti15 underwayl In December, work also began fixing potential sources of leak in the Millennium Hall crush area rooflights. However. being December, the roof proved too slipperyto continue workingsafelyand so only one rooflight{out of 3) received the full treatmentwithin 2023. At St Luke's. triple glazing has been installed where appropriate, followed by external secondary glazing to the large chapel windows, and cavity wall insulation to the newer part5 of the building. All this work was again funded by a grant from HCEF, making St Luke's quieter and warmer on the inslde, and of course, saving energy at the same tlme. Throughout the year, there were also the more frequent routine visits making checks on our gas and elettrical equipment, fire alarms. gutters and lightning conductor. 2023 was the year of our Quinquennial Inspettions, carried out on all buildings. The resulting reports will guide us on repair and maintenance prlorities forthe next five years. But not the only ones! Regular maintenance of St Maws organ has shown that a number of components are either very worn, failing or failed. Replacing these components is underway and going to be expensive into 2024. A dedicated organ fund appeal was launched before the end of 2023. Outside the Millennium Hall, the large Yew tree was reduced in size at Easter, alongwith removing two other trees and work to several others on the north side of church, all this after being cleared through the Planning process. Regular working parties throughout the year. mainly outdoors (come and join us!), and three whlch havespecific tasks. To put up and putaway Christmas decorations. Thethird working party (usually February) concentrates on the 'Terrierf' the church's annual inventory of its Possessions and a good chance for anyone to really get to know the church. Otherworking parties are outslde if weather permits, keeping the large grounds u nder control. We purchased a new strimmer during the year, whlch makes some of that control easier, cutting our gra55 banks (twice a year only) between the long'no mow, periods we allow to encourage rewilding, and keeping vegetation at the base of the church walls down. We also found a new more discreet home for what we lovingly know as "the pile" Thls in preparation of hopefully greenerthings to come. Richard Green {Buildings and Maintenance subgroup)
Deanery Synod report 2023 was the start of a new triennium for the Deanery Synod and Linda Joyce, Sally Martin Brown and Margaret Cave were elected at our APCM in April. Thanks to Barbara Green who represented u5 previoLJsly. The clergy are also members of Synod, with Elis also on the Deanery Standing Committee as Assistant Area Dean. Sheila Matthews, having been elected to the Diocesan Synod 15 also ex officio on the Deanery Synod, so St Maws is very well represented! Subjects of meetings in 2023 included: ministry to asylum seekers and refugees, disability and the church, and a Q&A with the Bishop of Kensington. All have given useful food for thought, and fed into PCC discussions around hospitality and welcome, as we seek to put this at the heart of everything we do. Revd Elis Matthews Mission Giving The PCC commits to give a percentage of income received through congregational givingto good causes that align ro ourvision and values. In 2023, as in previous years, donations were Split between a mixture of local and national causes, who each received a few hundred pounds, and the Church Mission Society, which received a larger amount to support the work of our Mission Partner Alison Giblett in Ukraine. Smaller donations were made throughout the year in response to requests, and we also raised funds for Christian Aid through bake sales and a special service. In 2023, the PCC agreed to adopt a new method of selecting the causes we support and how they are championed and promoted through the life of the church. We will continue to SUPPOrt CMS. but from 2024, members of the congregation will be able to nominate 34 causes for support, to be decided by a newly appointed Mission Giving Committee. Diana Nortey, Jane Marriott and George Manu applied to form this committee and were appointed. In the second half of the year, as we transition to this new way of giving, we hope to be able to make more of our supporc through worship and fundraising activities.
