# **The Parish of Bracknell: Holy Trinity with Mosaic** _**Called together to make Christ known**_ 

## Annual Report for 2022 




May 2023 



## Notes from Revd Robin Sharples 

The months since my arrival in the Parish of Bracknell, have been full and enriching. I have been privileged to be able to work with the stimulating environment of Holy Trinity and Mosaic and alongside the enthusiastic members of the Town Centre Mission team. 

A number of areas of work have been the main focus during these months: 

Building links with the schools in the parish has been a particular success; regular contact is now established with Crown Wood, Harmans Water and Ranelagh and I have been appointed as a governor of Ranelagh. I lead regular assemblies at Crown Wood and Harmans Water and a strong working relationship is being built up with Ranelagh which includes services at Holy Trinity and work with the chaplaincy - most recently seen in the very well attended Ash Wednesday Service. 

The pattern of services has been adjusted to include the establishment of my regular preaching and presiding at Communion with Mosaic church. Regular traditional language services at the 8.00am have been introduced at Holy Trinity. I am grateful to everyone at both Mosaic and Holy Trinity for enabling this to happen, especially those who have made the Lay-Led service at Holy Trinity so successful. 

Home Communions have been celebrated with a number of parishioners regularly and a monthly communion takes place at Bickerton House. A monthly service has also been established at Clement House following a lively Christmas Service in December. 

A number of services have been specifically prepared with children and families in mind. The Crib service and the Christingle service were particularly well attended and all have been well received. 

Remembrance Sunday provided an opportunity to work alongside the Town Council, and renew my acquaintance with Rabbi Zvi Solomon. It was also a privilege to share the prayer on Remembrance day itself with Father Danny from St Joseph’s Roman Catholic church. 

At the end of January 2023 we bade a fond farewell to Janet Chalmers who so ably led the music at Holy Trinity as Music Director. We have been very fortunate to have been able to welcome Fabio Marques as Music Director at Holy Trinity. Some new music is being explored and we are looking forward to welcoming more singers and musicians at Holy Trinity. 

A very stimulating afternoon was spent discussing the blessing of same sex relationships, following the controversial proposals from the House of Bishops. The conversation was characterised by an overwhelming sense of compassion and concern to provide a place where all are welcome. 

A lot of work has been done since September and I am grateful for the support of so many people notably church wardens, leaders at Mosaic, PCC – and to members of the congregations who have been so welcoming and encouraging. 

Besides the specific Parish work I am also acting as mentor to Beth Quainton as part of her ordination training with Sarum College in Salisbury. This was following a specific request from the Area Director of Ordinands. 

I am looking forward to the future and the growth of the faith community of the parish some signs of which I believe we can see already in our parish such as the very well attended sequence of services in Holy Week and Easter. In all this we thank God for the blessings that are a part of all the work that we do.

## Parish Notes 

At the beginning of 2022 the process for appointing an incumbent moved to a new phase, advertisements were placed in the Church Times. Interviews took place at the beginning of April, followed by the appointment of Revd Robin Sharples as our new Incumbent. 

The parish said goodbye to Revd Malcolm Chalmers (who had been serving as an Associate Priest in our Parish since 2019) at a service of Choral Evensong on 26[th] June, and a group of people from the parish attended his induction to the benefice of Great Missenden on 19[th] July. 

On 1[st] September at a special service Robin was collated by the Bishop of Reading, Rt Rev Olivia Graham, and inducted by the Archdeacon of Berkshire, Ven. Stephen Pullin, as Incumbent of the parish. Robin was welcomed by people of the parish, clergy from the deanery and other churches in our town, and representatives of the local community. 

With the lifting of Coronavirus restrictions, it was possible to return to receiving Communion in both kinds in June.

## Fabric  Report 2022 

The  churchwardens have continued to carry out their responsibilities to maintain the inventory, terrier and log book of the parish. During this year no items were added to the inventory, and nothing removed. 

Details of the repairs carried out continue to be recorded in the log book. 

The vestments, frontals, altar cloths and communion linen continue to be maintained in  reasonably good condition.  Some of the chasubles and albs are showing signs of wear, the black chasuble is in need of repair. Some of the altar linen has worn out due to age. 

Thanks to our Sacristan, Shirley Taylor, for her diligent work in this area. 

Consistent work has gone into caring for the buildings at Holy Trinity and Langley Hall. The Maintenance Mornings continue, we are grateful to the people that attend to work in the grounds of the church and hall, we would appreciate more people coming along, so that more jobs can be done

## Summary of Building works for January 2022 to March 2023 

## Holy Trinity Church. 

- Following storm damage a new church notice board has been erected **.** 

- A new light outside the choir vestry has been fitted and the light above the lectern has been replaced. 

- All testing and servicing have been carried out; winch, PAT testing, boiler service, heating, lighting conductor, fire extinguishers and exit signs, Langley Hall security alarm, all have passed. New fire extinguishers and stands have been purchased. 

- Finchampstead Roofing carried out the annual clearing of the valleys, gutters, hoppers, rain water pipes and replaced some slates on the North Nave. 

- Pointing to the flintwork outside the South Transept and other places around the external church walls is deteriorating due to the incorrect material being used.  This is causing damp which damages the plaster internally and it crumbles inside the church. 

- The existing slates on the Chancel Roof and the North Nave continue to slip, the mortar between the ridge tiles on the Chancel Roof is missing. We have some water getting in through the roof. 

- Some pieces of York stone  have eroded from the copings on the porch roof. 

- Tiles have slipped and broken on the lychgate. 

- There are some floor tiles in church that require bedding back down. 

- Heavy rain causes the boiler room floor to get very wet due to water coming down the steps, one of the iron hinge brackets on the gate needs to be replaced, this will need to be specially made. 

- Some of the stained glass windows have bowed and the lead will need replacing. 

- One of the clocks on the tower and the one inside the church, both needs repair. 

- The next Quinquennial Inspection is due in 2024. 

## Langley Hall 

- New wall-mounted heaters have been fitted in all three toilets, which have thermostat, timer, and frost protection controls on them. 

- The heater casings in the main hall and the skirting boards have been decorated. The gents’ toilet has been decorated, the other toilets and areas need re-decorating. 

- A new ball valve has been fitted to the cistern in the gents’ toilet and the damaged door guard replaced. 

- The floor in the main hall and corridor has been stripped, sealed and re-polished, to help preserve the life of the floor tiles, we continue to stick down loose tiles. 

- The after-school club’s container has now been removed and the fencing been extended. The area where the container was is now ready to be paved, slabs have been donated to us, which is very much appreciated.

- The condition of the North Doors is deteriorating, as the bottom of the door is rotten. 

- The hall roof was swept, and hoppers cleaned out by Finchampstead roofing, when they did, their annual clean at the end of last year. 

## _Malcolm Taylor for the PCC_ 

## _From Mosaic_ 

Mosaic meets at The Parks Community Centre at 10.30am on Sundays. Our mission statement is: Build community, Grow disciples, Reach outwards 

## Build community 

Transitioning out of COVID we found that Sunday morning social events brought people together and renewed friendships. Over the quiet summer holiday we held summer breakfast picnics with our ‘in house’ ukulele band entertaining us. We continue to schedule walks and brunches to sustain and build community. We thank God that our numbers at services have grown in the last few months as we have welcomed newcomers. 

## Grow disciples 

After significant preparation, speaking and feedback, those who preach at Mosaic recently had their authorisations as preachers renewed by Bishop Olivia – our thanks to Robin for facilitating this. During the summer we ran The Prayer Course over several weeks in place of our usual services. During one of our Advent services, we were led through a sensory journey, smelling frankincense, feeling straw and reflecting on the experience of Mary and Joseph in Bethlehem. 

We have an inter-generational approach to children’s work so the children can be part of our familyfriendly, café-style services. We currently have 3 music bands who take turns lead our singing. We have one daytime and one evening small group who meet to study the Bible and experiment with videos and other materials that help us explore our faith together. 

## Reach outwards 

We held a Harvest service and invited all those who live on The Parks to a free lunch afterwards where we served soups, cheeses, chutneys and bread. Yummy. 

We have helped set up and run Bracknell SHARE stalls to reduce food waste and bring surplus food to Bracknell people. We run a weekly SHARE stall at Holly Spring School. And on Fridays we work with the Warfield Churches at their St Andrew’s stall. We are now planning with St Joseph’s to open SHARE at St Margaret Clitherow School in the next few months. 

## Robin’s arrival 

We have welcomed Robin’s arrival and support, enjoying his regular Communion services and preaching once a month. He is an active member of our leadership team.

## Parish of Bracknell’s Town Centre Mission (TCM) 

## TCM Objectives 

1. Be present in Bracknell town centre 

2. Reach the unreached 

3. Bring Bracknell churches together 

Our Brand is ‘One Step Closer’, which is a useful conversation starter. Our role is in helping people get one step closer to one another in building community and one step closer to God wherever they are in their in their faith journey. 

## Current TCM  team: 

Lynn Davidson and Beth Quainton are our two lay Pioneers, each working four days a month 

- Volunteer line manager on behalf of the PCC: Debbie Copping 

- Volunteer Chaplain – Sue McCartney (Easthampstead Baptist Church) 

- Steering group: Paul Copping, Debbie Copping, allan wilson, Revd Robin Sharples 

## Current TCM Activity: 

This is a ministry of presence, where we spend time being present in the town centre connecting with those who work there: retail staff, Lexicon staff, window cleaners, buskers, Big Issue seller, police, Activate College students, market stall holders etc. 

We pray and believe that as we go out, Jesus goes ahead of us and the Holy Spirit guides our encounters and the right words each time. This is a long-term ministry, building relationships and being there when we might be needed, such as when some of our shops have to close, or staff have medical needs. We are there to notice, to encourage, to affirm and to thank. When times are difficult, we are there to listen and simply present to care, to pray and to bless. We are able to signpost people to support (e.g. Foodbank, Clothes bank) when required and to church at Christmas, Easter or generally if requested. 

If you are interested in being involved in or supporting this ministry please get in touch. 

## TCM Events in Bracknell Town Centre 

This year we have hosted three events in the town centre, providing a Christian presence and pointing people to Church at Christmas and Easter: 

Christmas 2022 Carol Singing – We gathered a group of singers from different churches in Union Square. We produced leaflets with information about carol services at churches across the town and were able to hand them out to invite passers-by. 

Easter 2023 Walk of Witness – Approximately 70 people from churches across the town joined us to worship together, stopping at different stations to pray and be a physical presence in the town centre.

Outreach presence – We were delighted that the council invited us to provide a Christian presence in Union Square. We had a large cross as a conversation starter and a prayer station; passers-by were invited to write prayers and stick them on the cross and children to do Easter craft. We were able to hand out cards pointing people to www.findachurch.co.uk 

Monthly Town Centre Mission Prayers have continued on the second Saturday of the month at 10.00am on Zoom – we welcome everyone interested to join us. 

TCM has a webpage as part of the Parish website and a Facebook page www.facebook.com/groups/LOGOSbracknell

## Safeguarding Report 2022 

The Church is committed to safeguarding as an integral part of its ministry and mission, promoting a safer culture and the welfare of every child, young person and adult. 

Our parish safeguarding policies are based on those required by the Church of England, and the procedures we follow are based on the Parish Safeguarding Handbook, with additional requirements and recommendations from the Safeguarding Team at the Diocese of Oxford and the Church of England. Our Parish Safeguarding Policy was reviewed by the PCC in September 2022, and this is displayed on our parish website, in Holy Trinity, Langley Hall and at Mosaic. 

Volunteers - we are developing role descriptions for volunteers within our parish, which make clear lines of responsibility, training required and whether a DBS is necessary for the role. 

DBS checks are likely to be required for a range roles such as leadership positions, working with children, and working with adults considered vulnerable. We use an on-line system which makes the application relatively easy and generally quick. DBS checks must now be renewed every three years. 

Safeguarding training. It is important that those in positions of leadership, office holders and volunteers within the parish are aware of safeguarding principles and good practice, particularly in the context of the church. The Church of England has developed a safeguarding training programme, most of which is accessed on-line; leadership training is delivered through the Diocese. As with the DBS, all training must be renewed every three years. 

Risk assessments are required before new activities organised within the parish begin, annually for activities taking place regularly, and prior to one-off activities. 

Safeguarding concerns. Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility - if you have any safeguarding concerns, please raise them with the Parish Safeguarding Officer, or one of the contacts on the information displayed on the parish website, in Langley Hall, in Holy Trinity and at Mosaic. 

Thank you to everyone who has supported safeguarding in any way within the parish during 2022, with special thanks to Linda Edwards, our Safeguarding Administrator, and those assisting with applications for DBS checks. Thank you too to everyone who has completed DBS or safeguarding training within the past year.

## Electoral Roll 

At the last revision of the Electoral Roll, before the 2022 APCM, there were 245 names on the roll. Since then, five names have been removed (three deceased, two worshipping elsewhere). Twelve names have been added, giving a total of 252 names on the roll. 

_Angela Evans: Acting Electoral Roll Officer_ 

## Deanery Synod 

There were, as usual, 3 Synod meetings during the past year, 22 June 2022, 15 November 2022 and 7 February 2023 with the Deanery Gathering on 15 October 2022. 

In February, Synod made preparations for the visit of Bishop Steven in March 2022 and the Deanery gathering in the Autumn. 

The June meeting took place at Easthampstead Church with the theme of Digital Church. The speaker was Emma Thompson, Digital Church Communications Officer. 

The November meeting was about the Eco Church and the speaker was the Revd. Margaret Dixon, Area Dean of Witney (by Zoom). Small group discussions followed the talk.  This was also held at Easthampstead Church. 

The speakers for the third meeting of the year in February were Adrian Laws, Chaplain for Ranelagh and Sandhurst schools and Tim Griffith, Headmaster of Ranelagh School.  Adrian and Tim gave an overview of the Chaplaincy at Ranelagh.  The meeting once again took place at Easthampstead Church although at the last moment a Zoom option was also available. 

The Deanery Gathering was held on 15 October 2022 at Warfield Church. The speaker was James Lawrence of the Church Pastoral Aid Society talking about evangelism, with worship led by our very own Dave and Sally Roper. 

The Deanery representatives for the Parish are Sally Roper, Simon Sellick and myself.

## Financial Review 

This financial year the Parish of Bracknell had an income of £124,625 with £113,077 being of voluntary income, this being a decrease of £4,552 from 2021. We had expenditure of £124,754. 

The total funds of the church are now £415,607 which £245,074 is made up of unrestricted funds, £93,587 designated funds and £76,946 of restricted funds. 

Our Parish Share contribution was £49,163 which we met fully. 

Looking at Church income and expenditure from an unrestricted perspective in 2022 our Income was £111,529 and our Expenditure £100,206.  We continue to tightly manage our unrestricted expenditure. From a Restricted perspective where the funds are to be spent on activities that they are restricted against the Income was £12,314 and the expenditure was £24,282, the Restricted funds for areas such as Town Centre Mission are therefore being expended and at the point the funds are spent these activities may have to cease if further funding from external sources cannot be found. 

Parish Of Bracknell Annual Report May 2023                                                                                                                               Page 8 



Income generation will therefore continue to be a focus in the coming year to ensure we balance the fixed overheads of the church (some or rising steeply such as Utility Bills) and ensure the PCC is able to deliver its outreach and charitable works. 

The Finance & Administration Committee of the PCC continues to focus on close management of our expenditure and as lockdown eases maximising our income from the Langley Hall. The positive side of this is that the PCC has a clear view of all expenditure, much of which is non-discretionary (Utility Bills) and increasing every year, therefore to continue to be able to achieve our outreach goals we need to focus on increasing our income through giving. 

## Gift Aid and Stewardship 

We are able to reclaim the tax from the HMRC on regular donations and on cash donations (up to £8,000 limit). In 2022 we successfully reclaimed tax of £19,127 of which £16,852 was recovered from Unrestricted Giving. We are grateful to all who financially support the life and work of the church to the best of their ability. 

## Reserves Policy 

Our financial reserves policy, approved by Bracknell PCC at its meeting on 6th September 2012, is that "our reserves should not fall below the total of: two months expenditure over 3 year average”, plus £30,000 contingency, plus any amounts in restricted funds which we are forbidden to use for general revenue spending. As at 31[st] December 2022 our two-month average expenditure was £21,000 and the Restricted Funds were £76,946, giving a Reserve figure of £127,946 as at the end of 2022. At no stage during 2022 did our total funds fall below this Reserve figure. 

## _Neil Dove: PCC Treasurer_ 

## PCC 

Membership of the PCC consists of the Incumbent, Churchwardens, deanery synod representatives and members elected by members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All who regularly attend our services are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. The appointments are made as set out in the Church representation rules. The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish, including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. 

The PCC has a Standing Committee, which consists of the Incumbent, the two Parish Wardens, the Treasurer and the Secretary (and representatives from the Mosaic congregation if not otherwise represented). The Standing Committee is authorised to transact the business of the PCC between PCC meetings, reporting to the full PCC. 

The full PCC met regularly during 2022/23. 

Given its wide responsibilities the PCC has several committees, each of which deals with a particular aspect of parish life. These committees are detailed below, the full PCC discusses and ratifies any decisions as necessary. 

Examples of PCC actions in 2022/23 

- Agreed the appointment of Fabio Marques as Music Director at Holy Trinity

## And Finally 

Thank you to Linda Edwards, our Parish Administrator, and Sally Evans, our Finance Administrator for their hard work for the parish during the year.
