St George with St Anne and St Mark Kemp Town, Brighton Annual Report for 2021 Presented on May 1[st] 2022
This time last year we were just coming back from Covid lockdowns, and I asked for help - I left you with a list of jobs which needed to be taken on if we were to run our church as we once had done: Church Warden, flowers, treasurer, PCC members, setting out the church on Sundays, setting out the tech on Sundays, composing the pew sheets, putting the readers’ rotas together, and looking after the people who are involved, putting the prayer rotas together, and looking after the people who are involved, volunteering to help with readings at services, volunteering to help with prayers at services, some cleaning duties.
Of the twelve things asked for I am very pleased to say that at different points in the year we managed to cover eleven – what a magnificent response, and one which speaks volumes
of how people love their church and are willing to take action as well as speaking words.
Well done to all those who help, in whatever way, to keep St George’s as an active and living church!
On the other hand, there has been plenty about to make us feel anxious: the beginning of 2021 was full of uncertainties. We felt as though we might be coming through Covid - then we had the delta variant. The press filled us with doubts as to weather we had chosen the correct path as we approached December and the end of the year.
People were not just confused - some were downright depressed
Nevertheless, most of us were busy making uncertain steps back into the world
People were also beginning to rethink life, and what was important to them.
For years we have been taught that jobs, money, social position are important. The idea of community responsibility had been diminished and people had been taught to say things like “There is no such thing as society,” let alone thinking that they had any responsibility towards the people who lived around them.
Covid and lockdown left many faced with important new questions – is selfdevelopment, is society, and is social responsibility just as important, if not more so, than what had gone before?
The “church” also had to face very difficult questions. There was no longer a national call to prayer in the old sense, but we were asked as congregations to say our prayers.
Much was done by the churches and their congregations, but little was picked up or reported.
There has been a radical change in the way in which faith is both passed on and received. I was told of a Sikh talking about going into university. He said that in the 1960’s if you had asked a group of students “are you concerned with heaven”? then, 80% of the class might have said “yes”. Today if you asked the same question most people in a class would laugh!
We have a lot of work to do if we believe that the Christian faith has something which will allow people to enhance their life view and their way of life let alone point them towards the heavenly kingdom.
We can no longer be a small club; rely on past residual teachings - we have to be an evangelistic, charismatic, faith-driven community!
Yes, there are elephants in the room, and important questions to be answered:
Issues of sex, sexuality, abuse, and social acceptability – for instance:
We live in a liberal city, and yet we have some of reactionary bishops: one does not like the ordination of women, another does not like gay (LGBTQTI) people.
It is a difficult situation but also an opportunity – can we, despite our differences, learn to live together and enter into meaningful relationship with our leaders in a shared household of faith?
How are we doing?

Our electoral roll stood at 52 last year, and this year’s stands at 42 having removed 8 in preparation for this meeting
Several of our members passed on to the heavenly kingdom among them:
Rachel, Margaret, Mary, Alan, Joy, and Audrey
One of the first things which we did, after lockdown, was to arrange a memorial service for the people who had lost someone close to them over lockdown – very often a confused time in which people had not been able to grieve.
46 people attended, and a further 3 on zoom, most form outside of our worshipping community.
Other organisations, often with more money and resources, did much the same.
What did we have that they did not?
A sense of God and continuation of life – not a limpid maybe something comes next, but a full strength “yes” God exists, and we will see our loved ones again in Paradise.
We must continue to support people in need, who live in Kemp Town, whether or not they attend church on a regular basis.
We also introduced some of our traditional services – Christingle and St John’s Christmas service
Lake’s baptism was another example of the worshipping community continuing to be itself: inviting someone into the family of the church and believing that
this would give help and encouragement in times of need, and a place to share their joy. A sense that God is with them and that He loves them, and that there is a purpose and meaning for their life.
We also went outside of our traditional building, love it though we may, and began to share what we have. The Harvest Festival went into the gardens. It was the talk of the area in terms of bringing something welcome into Kemp Town.
The service was not only for us, and our neighbours, but we also continued to support people through Water Aid and Christian Aid. Even in times of despair and poverty we are called to help those who are in more need than ourselves.
That is all a part of what faith does to us – it changes our perspective; it motivates us to do things which this world might see as foolish. To give when we ourselves are not rich.
The internet and online communication and services.
As we see the numbers attending on zoom are less, but for those who do attend it is an important part of their lives. In the past people may have had the vicar or a pastoral assistant visit, but now they can still meet and chat with old friends.
We are still working with Facebook and the web pages. The recorded service will often reach around 4000 people – albeit they may not see the service through. We have a small number of people who check in regularly and thank us for the service.
It is also about fun and sharing:
Our mulled wine afternoon; biscuit bonanza; shared meal – all were popular this year.
Building up our worshipping community by getting to know one another and sharing with the people around us. Sharing joys, and also sharing concerns, even when all we can do is that most important of things praying with one another.
Our faith also has to be “lived out” in the way that we interact with the communities which, and individuals who, surround us. Showing that we are a church which wishes to serve, even if people don’t always respond, or do not respond with kindness.
Showing that the teaching of the Gospel which asks us to love one another unconditionally – not just those we know and understand – has an impact on how we live our lives and react to other people, but also on how we respond to our local communities.
Showing that we have something which far surpasses the ordinary human versions of society in the Christian faith, what that means, and how we best enter into it.
What has come to my attention is the need which people have to share and enter into community. Some 75% of the community centre rooms are full. The café is making headway. The church is used by different groups. I believe
that it is in this expression of community that we as Christians will find both a home, and an effective springboard for our faith
How to be church – to deliver or to share?
The gardens continue to be a success story. We have a team of people who look after the main garden, and another who look after the community bee friendly garden.
There is a cross over – William said to me a few months ago, “I didn’t realize, but I have become part of the family. You have taken me into the church community”. It does happen!
But how many of us know Maria, Irene and the others?
A rather thoughtful parishioners keeps asking, “what are we doing to say, “Thank you”?” well, we have written and made a small gift. And Sue our Church Warden keeps in touch
But the communications officer from the Diocese asked, “Why not invite them into a service of thanksgiving, and then a party afterwards – get to know each other?” We still have to acknowledge our belief in God, and we have to do the things
which demonstrate that. We also have to spread that message.
(Sometimes we have to defend our faith against ignorant and nasty people – that is sometimes, but rarely true -but we can do that with kindness and by our Christian words and example).
We are already doing so much of this, and we should be content to support it – we should have a feeling that we are a part of what is happening in our community:
Laura in our Community centre is reaching out to people and has a real connection with the people she works with: “Hi I’m Laura, I look after the Community Centre here at St George’s. We are so happy to be fully open again now, after the pandemic lots and lots of groups are back and enjoying our spaces, support groups, dance, yoga, meetings, U3A. We are just as busy as we could have hoped to be at this stage and it’s wonderful to see all our lovely groups returning and meeting in our spaces again. We are also planning plenty for the future – hoping to develop some areas of the community centre that haven’t been able to be used for a while due to damage so we are hoping to get those all done up nicely to have some more community spaces that people can enjoy share and meet as well as another office for a local group to be able to use as well. So as much as we are enjoying having other people back again and we are really looking forward to the future”
Sandro who meets people talks with them, and is able to promote both the church and what it is doing:
“Hello, I’m Sandro, St George’s Café manager, I’m very happy to be back, and to welcome back our old customers and new customers, people from the hospital, and the community, welcome back all of you. New ones, old ones and welcome back to St George’s Church mainly. Thank you,”
Anna who is reaching out to another generation:
“It’s good to be back after a long pause. The last concert that we staged here was in March 2020 and since September 2021 till the end of April we’ve had five concerts. Those have been previous hires, several times kicked into the future, and they eventually happened, and they were all very well attended. People were really happy to be back in the building. We have one new booking for June which is good news. Things are surely but slowly coming together. I know we are in the same position as other churches, but we are better off than other churches because I know other churches don’t have so many commercial bookings if any. But we have enquiries and I’m hoping that by the Spring and Autumn of 2023 we will have hires which will bring money into the church. Over lockdown we celebrated the church through lighting it up with lots of colours, the outside of it, and that was with a whole lot of other venues, and that what’s great during lockdown the venues have come together to support each other and that lead to a crescendo at Brighton Dome where we got our name up during a series of concerts because it was the only place we could have social distancing during lockdown”
But we have our part to play, not just in prayer – which is of paramount importance.
Not just in patting people on the back – which I suspect is always welcome.
We have to be a part of it – first of all we have to support the faith community, in our worship, in our study groups, in our social gatherings. We are not just a single Christians, but part of a Christian community. We also have to support our neighbours, and come to the community centre, attend meetings and talk about our faith, support people, come to the cafe, be alongside of them. We must demonstrate the love of Christ in our community. It does not matter whether people are immediately on board – the seed is sown and, one day, they may respond.
One person attending the Film Club asked, “why aren’t there more of the congregation – I would like to meet them?”
Does it all work?
How do we measure success? It is true that sometimes people just use our buildings and think of us as fools. But we are called to be fools for God - the opportunities which we have from the way we have chosen to exercise our faith are boundless.
One of our neighbours commented:
I've wanted to contact you for some time to thank you for the role St Georges played during (our) lockdown. Though I have no religious belief, it has always struck me that St Georges is exactly what a church should be: inclusive, welcoming, connected to many strands of the local community. I'm impressed by the way the church building is used to the full. During lockdown - both of them - the highlight of my week was meeting friends with a takeaway coffee sitting on the seats in your attractive side-garden. When even takeaway coffees weren't on offer it was a flask. For some time this was pretty much the only way to talk to a friend in the flesh. Also, there was comfort in other people nearby, doing the same. It was such a simple thing, but effectively kept optimism alive. It was the most normal part of those weeks, which were otherwise disorienting.
So, very many thanks,
We joined with the Hospital chaplaincy this year, and the Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus joined us – this was a first. Jo, the hospital chaplain wrote:
I did not get a chance to thank the choir in person after the service as they understandably wanted to get away promptly. However please will you pass on our appreciation and thanks to all the singers last night as it was beautiful, moving and very special. We also particularly appreciated how the pianist carried on playing as the stars took a while to hang on the tree and it was definitely an extra bonus to hear such lovely piano music. I personally would very much like to hear the GMC again at some time in the future. At the moment we do not know how much the event raised for the Friends of Brighton and Hove Hospitals, but we shall let you know when we do.
We wish you all a very happy Christmas despite the circumstances we find ourselves in again this year and you have our thanks again for helping to bring some Christmas light and joy into our lives last night and your generous support of the work of the NHS in Brighton
One of our regular groups, The Rainbow Chorus, wrote:
A big thanks to you and Fr Andrew for a fabulous venue for Saturday's concert, our week in week out rehearsal space, and your own consistent super co-operative stance towards us. All very much appreciated.
We're proud to be part of the wider George’s community. You have a fantastic community hub there.
All the best to you Laura and St George's for some great Christmas celebrations there later this month, and a safe peaceful 2022.
Kemp Town Christmas and traders worked with us in St George’s:
I hope all is well with you.
The evening seemed to go well – it was very busy along our little stretch and seemed to spread the festive cheer!
Thank you so much for lending us the nativity figures - I brought them back last week, all except the donkey who is self-isolating in one of the shops where the owners have Covid…I am hoping to release him later today!
The traders are even making amendments to what they will do in the future so that we can join the,
Who knows such comments may lead to faith – I know some already have a faith – at any rate, we are a lot closer that if we close ourselves away and only look after ourselves.
The future:
We are at a crossroads:
And it is confusing:

----- End of picture text -----
But we need to rise to the challenge – lay people not just clergy
You have done that – just look at the jobs we talked about last year!
But how do we make connections and encourage people to join our faith community?
The communications team which we hope to form may help – by inviting people without being pushy.
Planning – trying to put some of this into words and make it happen.
Our parish MAPs will help with this if we try and follow them through:
Older Persons worker – working with the community to bring companionship and help to older isolated people within our community, but because we are involved being able to ask if they want faith connection
Screen – accessible for more people who would otherwise not have such a facility for instance working with St John’s school and providing showings with an autism friendly environment.
Working with Church House officers and calling on their expertise – we have already started talking with Katherine the fund-raising officer and Lisa the communications officer.
Connection with other parishes – working together and sharing good and difficult situations – we are starting this with Rev Helen Rose and the people from the Holy Cross.
What does forward look like?
Some ideas which we hope to put into actions:
Wednesday morning Eucharist followed by coffee morning
Would people come to a Eucharistic service in church at 9:00 am? Would people be willing to read the lessons? Set up for the service? Lead in prayers? I could not guarantee to find someone to take my place during holidays, but with advance warning people would know when these days would be. The service would last for about half an hour.
Following the service we could have a coffee morning – time to chat and catch up with the news. We could set out a table with a jug of coffee, and a jug of hot water for tea. We could probably find some biscuits. People can always buy other refreshments from the café when it opens. We would need to tidy up when we finished.
Discussion Group
People enjoyed the Lent course and the opportunity which it provided for people to talk about their faith and about the wider understanding of society and faith.
Would it be useful to meet, say for an hour on Mondays?
Should we ask people to suggest what they would like to talk about?
Maybe we should meet for six- or ten-week stretches?
Could we ask members of the congregation to prepare for and lead sessions?
Communications and communications group
Despite some glitches in marrying up tech – Lisa gave us a lot to think about in terms of the way in which we communicate to the world outside of the church walls – and sometimes even within them.
We already have some volunteers, but would you like to join a small team to help with this?
No experience needed – we can help with that – but experience is always welcome.
Lisa has agreed to join us and help us along the way.
Visiting/pastoral group
We have been waiting for a response about our application to provide a worker to help us provide visiting group – it has still not arrived… We cannot wait forever, and so would you like to join a visiting group?
Training would be provided.
There are not a lot of people at the moment, but I suspect the number of people wanting to be visited will grow if they know we have the group.
It could be a group which takes communion out to people at home
It could be a group where members go to talk with someone for half an hour
It could be a group where members help out.
(We would need to make sure that everyone is safe so DBS checks would need to be made)
We have so much to look forward to if we continue on the road of faith and put time and energy into action.
Plenty to think about.
Can I end this section of the meeting by saying a big “Tank You” to all of you who work for the parish and support it.
For all those who carry the message into you communities by talking about us and saying good things, and by telling people about the good news of the Gospel.
And a special “Thank You” to the members of the PCC
The PCC have been meeting by zoom over the last year. We met six times. Without their devotion and work we would not be able to provide those facilities which are described above.
My thanks to the PCC:
