Review of the Yèar
The ministry and mission of the church continues to be in accordance with our vision statement..
reaching out in love. growin9 in faith, welcoming all. We have held the Confirmation Service for the
deanery, have relaunched our wellbeing group. created a new website for the church and increased
our online activity, widened our social events and re-created our social committee, renewed many of
our service booklets, and held weekly Bible studies throughout Advent and Lent, to name a few
activities we have been engaged with during the last twelve months. We continue to be part of the
Welland Local Mission Partnership and as such are involved with the life of other local churches, which
have been working together more the past twelve mnths.
One of the more significant activities we have been engaged with. is hiring a Children's and Youth
Worker {part-time} from September 2023. Since then we have revised our all age5 services and started
a Messy Church in April 2024.
We continue to focus on environmental issues and spent several Services focusing on caring for our
world last year. We are pleased to now have a page on the Inclusive Church website, marked Racial
Justice Sunday in February 2024, and at the PCC meeting in January 2024 the PCC voted unanimously
to support the use of prayers of blessing for same sex couples within existing worship. In Ortober
2023 our worship focused on generosity {having looked at stewardship earlier that year) and we
produced a generosity booklet in paper format and online. Also in October 2023, we re-introduced
the 8am Sunday service being a Holy Communion service.
We are currently working on planning a new series of monthly themed services, considering
introducing new children's groups, and prayerfully thinking about the best use of the church and
Green School buildings lincluding heating the spaces), among other activities we are currently
engaged in. This, of course, continues alongside the usual life of our church and parish.
Sadly, during the last twelve rnonths, a number of people from our church community have passed
away and others are significantly unwell. An important part of our ministry is pastoral, particularly
towards those who are unwell or dying. We keep all of those unwell or who are grieving in our prayers
and give thanks for the lives of those who have brought so much to our community.
Thank you to the Ministry Team, PCC Standing Committee, everyone involved with the life of the
church in different ways from assisting with working groups to helping in other ways, and to all the
congregalion and those in our community who have participated with supporting the church's
mission and ministry and/or in maintaining our buildings during the past twelve months. Thank
you for your support. It is all incredibly appreciated, and I look fO￿ard to what the next twelve
months will bring. With the help of God, we will continue to bring forward our loving. fatthfLAI and
welcoming wsion acros5 Market Deeping and Iwond.
With all best wishes and prayers.
