## **`Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2024`** 

## **`Achievements and performance`** 

```
2024 was a challenging year for St Peter and St Paul as our rector was granted compassionate leave
from 1 st January prior to retiring after Easter, leaving us in effect in an interregnum for the whole of
the year. A new appointment was not made in 2024. This impacted our ability to develop our
mission during the year, but progress was made. We are hugely grateful to our Assistant Curate,
Hugh Reid, who has led our ministry team during this period and enabled us to maintain our pattern
of worship and other activities.
```

```
We revised our pattern of worship to include formal and informal eucharists, and non eucharistic
services on Sunday mornings, with Sunday evening services including Praise, Taize, Celtic, Compline
and Evening Prayer services. This enabled us to offer services at 10:00am and 6:00pm on every
Sunday, together with our Wednesday morning eucharist. A well attended Bible Study Group was
also held on Monday afternoons Due to declining numbers we took the difficult decision to
temporarily suspend our regular robed choir, although a ‘festival choir’ still sang at major festival
services.
```

```
Our Church Mice group for pre-school children and their carers meets weekly and continues to
thrive. We hosted services for our local schools at Harvest and Christmas, and held a hugely
successful Christmas Tree Festival coinciding with the town ‘Dickens of a Christmas’ event. We
joined with other churches to provide a Holiday Bible Club for a week during the summer holidays,
bringing more young families in contact with our church members.
```

```
Our church is open to all during daylight hours and we conducted 3 Baptisms, 7 Weddings and 18
Funerals in the church in 2024. The ratio of Baptisms to Funerals reflects the age profile of the
church and town.
```

```
The table of church attendance below shows how engagement with the church has grown post
Covid closures. Although average attendance was slightly down on 2023, our worshipping
community remains stable, and Christmas attendance was the highest since 2019.

carers. We collect food for Olney is Kind, the local food bank, and made a substantial contribution to
this from our harvest service. The Knitty Stitchers group provides further opportunities for
fellowship in the church. We are revising our tithing formula for 2024, enabling the annual meeting
to vote on four charities to support for the next two years. The aim is to develop firmer
relationships with the chosen charities.
```

```
We play a significant part in town events, running the annual Pancake Race and Cherry Fair as well as
supporting other town events such a Riverfest and Dickens Day, providing refreshments. As well as
enhancing the profile of the church in the town, these events raise significant funds for the PCC.
Fundraising activities raised a net amount of £17,752 compared to £15,962 in the previous year.
Many thanks to organisers Susan and Andrew Heron, David Phillipson, Mary Prosser and all
volunteers who worked tirelessly at our fundraising events.
```

```
We are part of the deanery of Newport and engage with the deanery through our three lay
representatives as well as clergy, and are represented on Deanery Pastoral Standing Committee by
one of our churchwardens. The planned shape of the Pastoral Reorganisation has been agreed, with
Olney joining a combined benefice of Lavendon with Cold Brayfield, Newton Blossomville, Clifton
Reynes, Emberton and Tyringham with Filgrave. This new benefice of Ouse Valley North will have
two stipendiary clergy. In line with the needs of pastoral reorganisation, the parish of Olney was
suspended in 2024, leading to the proposed appointment of a Priest in Charge until reorganisation is
completed.
```

```
The church, a 14 th century grade 1 listed building, is the responsibility of the churchwardens with the
fabric committee under the guidance of David Phillipson. A major project in 2024 was the
refurbishment of the church clock dial and replacement of the clock motor. Another major expense
was the replacement of fire safety system in the Church Hall. Our thanks to David Phillipson for
managing both these projects.
