7. ACHIEVEMENT & PERFORMANCE & TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT

Sadly the PCC Secretary, Ros Stephen passed away during the year and we send our condolences to her husband. She was replaced by Michele Peet.

As noted at the end of the APCM report last year a significant opportunity arose in February 2022 when the trustees of 18 Exeter street proposed to transfer the property to trustees appointed by St. Luke’s Prestonville following the relocation of St. Luke’s Advice Service to central Brighton premises. Consequently five members of the PCC became trustees of this property and in November/December the house was fully refurbished and turned into a residential home using money accrued by the former trustees for this purpose.

DANIEL & TAMARA JACKSON

In December 2022 it was agreed by the PCC that Daniel and Tamara Jackson and their daughter Cai should move into this property to work for the church on a ‘house for duty’ basis. They took residence in January 2023 and are currently working for in the church as community engagement and family workers.

Their presence has been a significant factor in the life of St. Luke’s as they bring much needed capacity and energy to the church in a variety of ways.

Daniel has pioneered the introduction of an After School Cooking Club for 7-11 year olds on Wednesday afternoons from 5pm-6.30pm. Up to ten children attend to learn about cooking in a fun atmosphere and they are joined by their families at 6pm for the resulting meal with anything up to 35 people attending. This has been a wonderful community initiative and has resulted in some important pastoral connections, some baptisms and wider engagement with Sunday worship.

A trial was conducted for 16-18 year olds through BHASVIC to teach students how to cook five basic meals in preparation for going away to college. The attendance was very low and we need to rethink the scheduling and publicity for this if we intend to do it again. Daniel has also taken on managing catering for Carpenter’s Arms and any other St. Luke’s catering and established a good link with the Real Junk Food project.

Tamara has focussed on resourcing our work with families and has become principal assistant at the Oasis parent/toddler group, setting up each week and providing a craft activity as well as leading singing. She also prepares theme related craft during Sunday services so that there is always something to engage children during the worship. Tamara also brings her artistic talents and has been involved in creative projects such as the Common Rooms, a new Beyond programme and other artistic events. She introduced St. Luke’s to the Epiphany music collective who contributed a weekend of music an art in March 2024 and has been assisting the vicar with school assemblies at both Stanford Infants and Juniors.

The family have become welcome and active participants in the local community and are forming great relationships with families in the area. A volunteer agreement and tenancy for service contract has been agreed and signed which began 1[st] January 2024 and runs for five years.

REVD. BUFF STONE

Another significant event in the life of St. Luke’s has been the involvement of Revd. Buff Stone. Buff retired from active ministry in Coventry and relocated to Brighton and after a period of research decided to join the team at St. Luke’s. She approached the vicar in January 2023 and after some discussion and negotiation with the diocese the Bishop agreed to appoint her as Associate Minister at St. Luke’s. She was sworn in as PTO in the diocese on 26[th] April and licensed to St. Luke’s by the Archdeacon of Brighton & Lewes on Sunday 29[th] October.

Buff has been an energetic and enthusiastic addition to the team and has become involved in all aspects of church life here. In addition she has been appointed as the Diocesan Environment Officer in a voluntary capacity and has brought a welcome focus on the environment to St. Luke’s.

Revd. Tim Edge continues to be a welcome part of the team.

February saw the launch of the Dementia Arts Support Hub (DASH) project on Wednesday mornings when individuals with dementia can take part in craft and art activities while their carers have a break and some social time over coffee and cake with each other.

St. Luke’s Advice Service encountered some financial stress in March and the trustees launched a fundraising campaign including a crowdfunder to ensure the service could continue. This continues to be an ongoing challenge as the charity funding landscape is very difficult due to the cost of living and competition for funding.

June saw the launch of ‘Church Beyond Walls’ written by Revd. Martin Poole about the arts projects produced by Beyond since 2008. This has generated a lot of interest in the wider church and Martin has been invited to a number of other dioceses as guest speaker or to lead workshops as a result.

In August Mark and Richard Jago retired from running the 9[th] Brighton Boys’ Brigade after more than 40 years of service running activities and teaching about Christianity for boys between the ages of 7 and 18. A reformed company entitled the 9[th] & 14[th] Brighton Boys’ Brigade has replaced this under the leadership of Perry Sullivan.

Sunday worship continued steadily during 2023 with numbers remaining relatively stable at a low level and the continued challenge of no regular musicians. Services are still streamed live on Facebook and Youtube for a small online audience. Collaboration with some musicians through the Common Rooms project resulted in a wonderful carol service with increased numbers in comparison with past years.

Weekday activities at St. Luke’s still include a significant Alcoholics Anonymous group, the Newnote Orchestra and Strummers, Real Junk Food lunches twice a week, the Oasis parent/toddler group, the Brightsoul and GLOW choirs, Band of Brothers male mentoring project and various occasional hires of the building for childrens parties and concerts. In the middle of the year we introduced a weekly Morning Prayer service on Wednesdays at 10.30am for staff to pray together.

St. Luke’s staff and church members are actively involved with the Brighton & Hove chapter of Citizens UK and Revd. Martin Poole is active at General Synod, a member of the Diocesan Council for the Promotion of the Common Good and remains as Chair of St. Luke’s Advice Service and Together in Sussex.

The overall vision for the next few years is to continue a focus on connecting the many vibrant and active social welfare projects based at the church with the worshipping life of the community of faith.

8. VISION FOR MISSION 2023

At the morning service and APCM on Sunday 14[th] May the whole congregation revisited the vision discussion from May 2022 to review progress and revisit our priorities for the coming year. Most objectives had not been developed as much as hoped for due to the need to spend time preparing for and managing the vicars sabbatical from July-October 2022.

There has been a significant development in community engagement and work with children and young people due to Daniel and Tamara Jackson joining the team in early 2023 and latterly the addition of Revd. Buff Stone to the team alongside Revd. Tim Edge who joined St. Luke’s early in 2020.

Our vision for mission re-visits the objectives from 2022 and prioritises them in line with the discussions at the 2023 APCM.

It is still true that St. Luke’s has changed from a church focussed on proclamation and worship in the early 2000’s to a focus on the community and a place where the gospel is demonstrated in action. This could be characterised as a shift from focus on Sundays as the primary driver of the ‘church’ to a recognition that the building and its congregation can be agents of mission through ‘preaching the gospel at all times and when necessary using words’ (attributed to St. Francis of Assisi). The plan of action discussed in 2022 was to connect these vibrant and active social welfare projects with the worshipping life of the community of faith and this remains the case with the addition that we wish to be more explicit in connecting the social action of the church with faith in Jesus Christ.

Overall Initiative

Relationship to Diocesan Strategy – More Open

There was discussion around the need to be more explicit about our faith being the driver for all the work at St. Luke’s and for our language around this to be authentic and relevant. This should include use of social media, the website and other forms of digital communication as well as interpersonal relationship. Despite becoming a fully inclusive church we are aware that this may not be common knowledge. We would like to be more explicit in our communication about this aspect of St. Luke’s. Action: Revamp the website and explore better use of social media Actively develop communications about the values of St. Luke’s Prestonville including a welcome pack for families and visitors and possibly a leaflet drop to the whole parish.

64 Old Shoreham Road, Brighton, BN1 5DD 01273 557772 info@stlukesonline.co.uk

Priority 1 - Work with children and young people

In 2022 we considered joining forces with other local churches or organisations to develop this work but the addition of Daniel, Tamara and Buff has changed this situation considerably and has already resulted in the development of a 7-11 year old After School Cooking Club, an Easter Holiday Club and provision for children on Sunday mornings with other initiatives in the pipeline. This work still requires additional volunteer help so this objective is still needed. Action: Develop a team of volunteers who can work with children and families.

Priority 2 – Discipleship Course(s)

Relationship to Diocesan Strategy – More Converted

In the past we have trialled a number of different ‘introduction to Christianity’ courses. These have included Alpha (prior to 2010), the Emmaus course, Christianity Explored and Life Explored, various modules of the Pilgrim course, and most recently piloting the Growing Good course. We continue to search for courses which are appropriate for our culture and outlook and are considering developing our own. Revd. Buff Stone has experience of other courses and will take on the task of introducing something to St. Luke’s. There is recognition that this will need to be differentiated so that there is appropriate material for newcomers separate to material for experienced Christians. Theological discussion could also be a part of this initiative. There have been some indications from nonchurch members that one-off events exploring semi-theological themes might be of interest, for example a multi-faith panel discussion or an examination of the problem of evil.

Action: Revd. Buff Stone to research and offer appropriate discipleship courses. Revd. Martin Poole to develop quarterly theological discussion events

Priority 3 – Testimonies and Walks

There has been a realisation that personal stories are engaging and powerful ways of helping to build community and can assist people in understanding what Christianity might mean for them. Sharing of these stories can be done corporately in public worship or housegroups and also on a more personal basis during activities which encourage conversation.

Action: Build opportunities for testimony into our Sunday worship and other events where appropriate.

Action: Develop a pilgrimage initiative to encourage people to walk together either one-to-one or in small groups and to arrange quarterly walking events to places/churches of interest.

64 Old Shoreham Road, Brighton, BN1 5DD 01273 557772 info@stlukesonline.co.uk

Priority 4 – Sunday engagement with midweek groups

Relationship to Diocesan Strategy – More Engaged

Weekday activities at St. Luke’s now include the Oasis parent/toddler group, a Dementia Arts Support Hub (DASH), St. Luke’s Advice Service, Citizens UK, the Real Junk Café, The Community Garden, The Newnote Orchestra and Strummers, Alcoholics Anonymous, the Brightsoul and GLOW choirs, Band of Brothers male mentoring.

Action: Re-introduce a programme of engaging each of these groups with

the Sunday worship of the church.

Priority 5 – Citywide collaboration

Relationship to Diocesan Strategy – More Generous

The church building is already accessed for free or at a highly discounted rate by many of the midweek groups as we see this as partnership work and part of our mission. This will continue for the foreseeable future.

The ministry of St. Luke’s contributes to the wider life of the city and the diocese through our involvement in Brighton & Hove Citizens and the active involvement of the vicar in Together in Sussex, Diocesan Synod and General Synod. Action: Foster wider involvement in these initiatives from the congregation.

Priority 6 – Art and Faith Initiative

It was confirmed that this was an important part of the life of St. Luke’s and the ministry of Beyond and that this should be re-launched, especially as Revd. Martin Poole has passion and experience for this work (as evidenced by his book, Church Beyond Walls) and Tamara has skills in this area. Action: Develop a programme of art and spirituality events.

9. FINANCIAL REVIEW

We continue to give thanks to God for the generosity and hard work of all staff, volunteers and parishioners and for this encouraging financial position in these difficult days.

Reserves Policy

The PCC is expected to establish and disclose its policy on reserves. Reserves are defined as that part of the PCC’s income that is freely available. This, therefore, excludes permanent or expendable endowment funds, restricted income funds and any part of unrestricted funds which are not currently available for spending. St Luke’s aims to hold reserves sufficient to maintain cashflows needed to meet all day-to-day operating costs and expenses.

The PCC reviews the cashflow and financial situation of the church at each of its regular meetings.
