Team Parish of Gainsborough and Morton
Annual Report for 2021
Mission Statement: Seeking to be a faithful, welcoming and caring Christian presence celebrating all that is of good and God in our community.
Our values: In all our dealings we seek to be faithful, inclusive, compassionate, nuturing and joyful.
Governance: The work of the Anglican Church in the parish of Gainsborough and Morton is supervised by the Team Parochial Church Council (PCC) and three individual District Church Councils (DCC), one for each church in the parish – All Saints’ Church, St. George’s Church and St. Paul’s Church in Morton.
The PCC meets five times each year and reports from all three churches are given at these meetings. Each DCC also meets a minimum of five times a year.
Staffing. In 2021 the Team Parish was served by a Priest in Charge, plus a curate who joined us in July 2021. The Parish has a Lay Reader and a Lay Ministry Team.
Prayer and Worship. Quality prayer and worship, which offers up to God and celebrates life here in Gainsborough, is a top priority.
The church remained open for worship throughout 2021 with Covid protocols in place to maintain safety for all who came into the building – in line with government and diocese guidelines. The services were Zoomed out live for our members who were unable to attend.
Pastoral Care: With the gradual relaxation of the pandemic restrictions, pastoral care began to be possible with weddings and funerals being undertaken in church again.
Baptisms were still not able to be offered at that time.
Christian Education and Study: We encourage regular Bible Study throughout the year, with occasional additional study courses, for example, at Lent and Advent. Some of these courses were also offered via Zoom.
Community Links: We continue to work closely with schools and care homes in the parish and with Gainsborough Town Council and West Lindsey District Council. We maintain connections with many smaller voluntary and charitable organisations that, like us, seek to add value and improve the quality of life of people in our area. Our annual Community Carol Service is a highlight and generally involves people for many of these smaller organisations.
Feeding Gainsborough continue to use All Saints’ (Parish) Church on Saturday mornings to distribute excess food to those in need and to prevent it going to waste as landfill.
Buildings: The three churches are a much loved and valuable community resource and are kept well maintained. The church hall at St. George’s is utilised by all three churches and their members on occasion.
Looking to the future: Rev. Canon Steve continues to encourage close working and support between the three churches, and within the wider town faith groups. 2021 was a year of returning to physical presence within the church buildings and rebuilding the confidence of the members of our congregations. This year also saw the start of conversations regarding the future direction of the Diocese and how our Team Parish might commit resources and fit into the new structure as we struggle to regain membership and support post-Covid.
