VICE CHAIR'S REPORT- Peter Terry In my report last year, I cautioned that it would be unlikely that we would have a paid minister in place much before September 2021. Clearly hindsight showsthat was optimistic. Interviews did take place in June 2021 and as a result Janet O'Neill was appointed to the Bacup Benefice pending completion of the fomialitie5 relatingto the team proposals, after which she has now become a Team Vicar In the Rossendale Team. A service markingthe launch of the Rossendale Team was held at St Marfs in Februarythis year. Unfortunately, the second team minister covering our end of the valley has yet to be appointed notwithstanding two subsequent attempts to fill the post. The latest position is that the Bishop'5 Leadership team have now agreed that the post can be advertised nationwide and hopefully this will lead to the right candidate coming forward. I hesitate to say that. once again, September might be the best estimate of when a Team Vicar will be in place. Through much of 2021 we did have valuable support from Re¢d Lee Longden until his secondment came to an end at the start of the Autumn, and of course. Julie and our own lay team have ensured that we have been able to continue with our weekly Sunday services. With the formation of the Rossendale Team each church nomlnated a Focal Leader and we are 8rateful that Julie agreed to take on that role for St Marfs. In addition to the weekly services, in 2021 there were nine bapt15ms at St Martys. two weddlngs and two funerals all of which needed cler8y to officiate. We have received support in this regard from Revds Scott Richardson, Derek and Leila Allen and Rod Bevan as well as services conducted by Julie and Lee. We have set out in the Wardens report the manythanks that are due to the lay members of our congregation who have ensured that the church has continued to offer weekly services, including Sunday School activities. as well as posting prayers and talks online. or physically distributing them to house bound members. We are also grateful that the church once again has flowers and displays for weekly and special services and our thanks go to those who make that Possible. It has also been encouraging to see Make & Take once again and thanks are due to all those involved in those activities. And of course all of this work is supported by prayer, both individual and collertive. including the continuing work of the Prayer Chain. The pressurÈs on the limited resources of the 5tipenadary team in the valley do mean that we are still very much dependenat on Julie and our own lay team. Rod Bevan is begining the process of making the Team Ministry a reality but he himself is hampered by the current vacancy for the second Team Vicar. Consequntly. as I concluded last year. we need to remain faithful and continue to serve God and our community in the best way we can.

CHURCH WARDENS. REPORT- Jean Lang and Peter Terry COVID We continued to spend time and energythis year on keeping the church available for worship. as and when allowed, and makin8 surethat we have a Covid secure environment. Appropriate Risk Assessments have been prepared with updates as guidance from the Church of England has been issued. Church Fabric During 2021 it has not been possible to carry out much in the way of work relating to the Church Fabric. The Tower project has had to be postponed although we have started the process of revi51ting this. Sadly, the church architect. who was also our architect when the church was remodelled in 200516, had died suddenly. We now need to appoint a new architect. The projert that has been possible has been the continued work on the bells. This work was undertaken under the supervision of Dr George Lee. the Diocesan Bell Advisor. The bells are now in a position where they are safe to ring. The onlywork outstanding is a new set of bell ropes. Graveyard The process of closingthe graveyard was completed and Rossendale Borough Council took responsibility for maintaining the graveyard. The frequency of grass cutting in 2021 was not as often as when we employed our own groundsman and further discussions are needed with the Council about the service level. Worklng Parties From tlme to time volunteers from the congregation undertake extra cleaning and work in the churchyard. This has been restricted again this year, but we continue to be grateful for their help. Churth Finances The accounts forthe year ended 31 December 2021 show a surplus of £7,114 in the year after the revaluation upwards of our endowment funds by £4,540. This means that the total funds of the church amounted to £75,262 at the balance sheet date. Parish Share payments of £28,(￿) were made to the Diotese and we would like to thank everyone fortheir continued giving which allowed usto maintain this payment at the same level as last year. £36,262 of the church fund5 relate to the capltal value of legacy investments that provide an annual income to the church. £17.494 is the remaining balance of the legacy given to the church by the estate of Geoffrey Bradshaw and the new legacy gift received last year. The other main element of church funds is the gift aid due on the giving in 2021 amountingto £10,155. Members of the congregation have continued to give towardsthe cost of our Family and Children's Worker. that cost being shared with St Paul's and Goodshaw churches. Whilst the overall funds posttion is satisfactory. the church continues to face expenditure on the fabric of the buildlng in 2022 and beyond. The urgent repairs to the clock tower together with expenditure necessary followingthe Quinquennial inspection will more than absorb the

available cash funds unless other sources of funding for these repairs can be identified. Add to this the fund5 needed to meet the annual running costs and the increased parish share and it becomes clear that the level of giving from the congregation needs to be maintained if we are to meet all our obligations in full. Worship The churchwardens would liketo thank all those who helped in the day-to-day running of the church during the year, taking into account the restrictions placed on us by COVID-19 rules, at certain times. Thanks go to all those who have continued to provide input to our services, both face to face and online. by writing and leading prayers. talks and providing music. particularly once we were able to sing again in church.. Thanks also to Julie for leading communion services and being a willing participant in leading worship by vldeo when needed. We also thank aaire for adapting so willingly to the restrictions of Cov1￿19, and managingto maintain contact with families, children and schools in a difficult environment for such work. We are fortunatethat in a tlme of interregnum, made more difficult by COVID-19, we have such a good team of people who have stepped up to make sure that worship has continued. We would also like to thank all those members of our fellowshlp who have malntained contact, in various ways, with those less able to get out and about. Safeguarding We confirm that the PCC has complied with the duty under Section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016. SECRETARY'S REPORT - Maureen Heys During 2021 the PCC met six times, underthe chairmanship of Peter Terry (VI￿ Chair} during the interregnum. Due to the pandemic five meetings were conducted online, with members joinin8 by video and phone. and one meeting was held in the foyer. with two attendees by video. This method of meeting did not affect the PCCS abillty to discuss and make decisions on all matters affectingthe church, both mundane and practical, pastoral and sometimes spiritual. A great deal of the Pcc'stime was spent in consideration and discussion of the Diocese's proposals for the Rossendale Team Ministry to cover the Rossendale deanery, along with the re- structuring of Deaneries which resulted in the new Rossendale and Bury Deanery coming into existence June to July 2021 with a new Area Dean. The new Team Ministry is due to commence early in 2022 although as at the end of 2021 only two of the threeTeam Vicar roles had been filled. The objectives of the Mission Attion Plan agreed in 2018, although curtailed by the pandemic and interregnum, have continued to be considered throughoLrt the PCC'S deliberations, and full support has been given to the new pastoral support group, ￿e3M St Marfs". A copy of the Plan is available at the back of church for perusal and to then prayerfully get involved. The future of the church family at St Marfs isthe responsibility of each and every one of us, even more so as. as we move out of interregnum and into the new Team Ministry, our Focal Leader and Team Vic3r (when appointed) will need our full support.

At the Annual Parochial Church meeting in 2021 one member of the PCC was re-elerted and one member co-opted for 12 months. During 2021 the members of the PCC, as requested by the Diocese, have been updating their Saf&8uarding training. Slnce the last APCM ST Marfs has continued to open for social-distanced Sunday worship with talks provided mainly by church members. but with a regular monthly Holy Communion lin one- part only) conducted by Rerfd Julie Barratt. The church's online presence has continued, with talks, prayers and reflections published online and on social media. Many of the non-worship meetings continued online until restrittions on meeting inside were relaxed in the last quarter of the year. with one in-person church social event taking place at Ha￿est with appropriate social distancing /pandemic measures in place. Our Family and Community Worker, Claire Wood continued her work across the three churches of Goodshaw, Constable Lee and Rawtenstall. maintaining contact with the schools, despite the difficulties thrown up by pandemic restrictions. Claire has also maintained contact with baptism families resulting in nine taking place during 2021 although sadly, due to lack of clergy available during the morning Services plus pandemic restrictions. most baptisms took place outside of regular services. Due to the pandemic restrirtions the church building has not been ableto be used as a venue by outside organisations until December when the Hospice held a socially distanced Light up a Lrfe event successfully, albeit with limited numbers. There has been limfced use by the CAP Job club which will hopefully increase as we move into 2022, and lookingto the new year. we already have some bookings In place from regular outside organisations. Despite another challenging year. the church family at St Marfs has continued to worship and fellowship together, and a heartfelt thanks must be given to those many people who have worked. and continue to work so hard, in all aspetts of life at 5t Marys, especially the Wardens, Peter and Jean during the interregnum, and to all who have contributed in any way, 8reat or small to the spreading of the good new5 of the Gospel of Christ. The PCC look forward with anticipation to the start of theTeam Ministry early in 2022, and to all it will mean to the work of spreading the message of Christ Jesus, by the church family at St Mar(s.

REPORT- Vicky Rhodes Our Parish of St Marfs Church Rawten5tall is still very much followlng and Implementing the Manchester Diocese and the Church of England Child Protection & Vulnerable Adult Policies. The Manchester Diocese online safe church training course is still a requirement for all new members who wish to work with our children young adults and vulnerable adults. Here at St Mar¢s we renew DBS checks every 3 years and due to Data Protection laws all our completed documentation of applicants that have applied and has been processed through the Thirtyone:eight systems are kept securely on church p￿mises. In January 2017 Manchester Diocese revised their Safeguarding Policyfor children & vulnerable adults and St Marfs parish is following this new revised policy. The revised policy and the new hand book is available for viewing on the diocese website at http://Mnvw.manchester.anglican.orgJsafeguardin8 Following new practice guidante all Pcctrustee members must undertake a DBS check where parishes undertake regulated activities with children or adults at risk. Furthermore other church

posts that require a DBS check must not be worked by the applicant until the DBS check has come back and been approved. 2021 has been 3 little easier this year with less church dosures due to the Covid 19 Pandemic. At the moment there are 19 Active members with DBS certificates. Online Diocese Training is an important part of keeping church members up to date with the latest safeguarding knowledge and Training should be completed by each DBS certificate member. Many Blessings Vicky Rhodes St Marfs Rawtenstall CPO FAMILY AND COMMUNITY WORKER-aaire Wood Ba tisms We have welcomed several new families into St Marfs Church via baptisms over the last 12 months, with more planned forthe summer months. Some families have visited the church services and, prior to Christmas, I delivered cards. and invitations to the various events being held across the 3 churches to each of the familie5. Gifts were dellvered on Mothering Sunday 2021. The Mothering Sunday and Easter events are another ideal opportunity for me to deliver some fliers and invites too. Schools Although the start of this year meant continued restrictions, I have been able to maintain regular contact with the local schools. which has been wonderful. I have been able to go into St Marfs Primary School to deliver weekly worship, and this has been shared between myself, Revd. David Burrow and the Open the Book Team who also took gifts into the children Just before Christmas. St Marfs School have been able to enjoy retumin8 to church for their Harvest. Christingle, and Christmas Carol Services. Balladen Primary School have not yet returned to having full school assembliÈs, but I have been able to start going into school to offer some of mytime to support some of the children. whlch I know the school appreciate. Once school recommence assemblies, David Burrow and I will liaise with the headteacher to facilitate this. I have been in regular contact with their RE lead. and she has welcomed input from myself and David, although this is still in the early planning stages. Each school has said they would like Bibles for their year 2 and year 6 children again, and l am hoping to approach Crawshawbooth Primary to gauge their interest in providin8 all children with a new Bible. Unfortunately. the year 6 day at St Marfs Church could not go ahead again, but each child at the 3 schools was issued with a goodie pack includingthe Scripture Union -IYs Your Move" handbook. l include a wooden cross and Bible verse bookmark in each pack. alongwith stickers, pens, and a notebook. Hopefully some fomi of year 6 event will now be possible at St Marfs Church duringthe summer temi. riddlers Tiddlers began in September 2021 and whilst the initial weeks were very quietthere is now a regular group of children attending with their parents and grandparents. We are blessed to now

have Sara joining us to play the piano at the end of each session 50 the children can enjoy a singsong and dance, which they all love. Trainin I completed the Ecology & Creation trainingwith Manchester Diocese as well as children's ministry training via Blackburn Diocese. I have also recently attended their °Step By Step" conference, which was fantastic. These have given me lots of ideas for ways totry and reach more families overthe coming months. Claire Wood- Family & Community Worker DEANERY SYNOD-Terry Bird During 2021 until it ended in the sprin& the Rossendale Deanery Synod concentrated almost entirely on the formation of the new Team Ministry for the nine Rossendale parishes and the formation of the new Bury and Rossendale Deanery. The new Deanery lone of just seven in the Manchester Diocese) is led by a full time stipendiary Area Dean, as opposed to the former situation, where the Area Dean was effectively part-time with their duties being in addition to the normal parish role. The last meeting of the Rossendale Deanery Synod was held in March and was in effect a celebration of the Deanery in years past, and a somewhat uncertain lookto the future. The first meeting of the Bury and Rossendale Deanery Synod was chaired bythe new Area Dean, Rerfd Rachel Mann, and was largely a welcome meetingwith some explanation of what would be happening in the future. The first business meeting was on 14th September when necessary appointments were voted on. and elected. Also the new ten year Diocesan Vision IGrowing Nurturing and Serving) was outlined. Since that, there have been two further meetings {all on Zoom} in 2022. This report is concerned with 2021 but, to keep the congregation in the picture, more detailed plans as to the Diocesan Vision, the Diocesan Mission Action Plan and the new proposed Mission Communities are being prepared. It is intended that these plans will be bought to the next Deanery Synod which i5to take place towards the end of March. This will bethe first In-person meetlng of the new Deanery Synod. I have to say that it is largely a question of -watch this space" concerning both the Team Ministry and the new Deanery. However we should not just watch, but Watch and pray. AcfiviTIES FOR WOMEN RENEW (and related activities)- Suzanne Moriarty There is a core team of about ten ladies who pray before each Renew and are there to help on the night. Under normal circumstances we hold three evenings a year. IVS great to see ladies from a variety of churches working together. A tithe of the offering goes to a different charity each time.

We aim to give a word in season to 'strengthen and refresh the weary ones, through the Name and Spirit of Jesus. (Isaiah 50.41 Renew couldn't hold any meetingsthisyear due tothe pandemic. Whall Abbe Retreat was not held in December 2021 due to the pandemic. ST MARY'S MOTHERS UNION-Jean Lan& Anne Johnstone. Maureen Heys The Mothers, Union's aim is to support Family Life. We meet on the third Monday of the month at 7:30pm in the foyer and during 2021 we had fifteen members. During lockdown we had started to meet online and enjoyed a quiz run by Judrth. a discussion around 'Grave Talk, and, making use of being online, we were able to have a gtjest speaker at two meetings. Christine Sharpe, CEO Manchester Diocese Mothers, Union gave us an insight into the work of MU in the dI0￿Se. and in Julywe enjoyed a presentation by Kathryn Dungworth, daughter of Jacqueline and Graeme, just priorto her return to working on Mercv Ships. a Christian charityworking overseas. We finished off meeting online with another quiz and a home-grown actlvity where. by dI￿us$1ng a hobby or something special to us. we learnt something new about our fellow members. We were pleased to be able to resume 'face-to face, meetings in the foyer, {albeit still with masks) in November, with a splendid Christmas meal Inon-maskedl}, prepared by Bobbi Buthanan (thank you Bobbil and this wasfollowed up in December by our usual Carols and Mince Pies meetin& which was open to the general congregation. As a group we look forward in 2022 to being able to resume workingtowards the support of family life, in the church. the Rossendale Team Ministry and the local community. LADIES, FELLOWSHIP-Judith Barlass Pre-covid we met monthly with our friends from Longholme, however the Fellowship has been unable to meet during 2021. Our Members have been self-isolating and are Cur￿ ntly safe and well. We have kept in touch by phone and there have been doorstep visits. AcfiviTIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE SUNDAY SCHOOL- Suzanne Moriarty Sunday School h35 around twelve children on ts register, many of whom are brought by Grandparents, although on average four children attend each week, which allows us to build good relationships with each child. We try to keep Sunday School fresh and interesting by varyingthe session each week to include treasure hunts, obstacle courses, bible stories. games. craft and baking. We aim to provide fun, qualitytimÈ forthe children whilst teachingthem about Jesus and how He can impact their day to day Ilves at school and home in a real and prartical wav. io

Ruth, Rosemary and Jean PASTORAL AcfiviTIES PRAYER CHAIN- Ann Laytham The 25 members of the Prayer Chain have the privilege of being able to respond to requests for prayer not just for St Marfs members but for anyone in need of prayer. The number of requests was similarto last yearfs and again covered mainly health issues, including Covid, for individuals or families. Other requests were for community 8roups . for countries in need, and for people in situations where social support was needed. The prayer requests are completely confidential and those bein8 prayed for must give their permission. The requests are passed to the coordinator by those who identifythe need for prayer. and she emails them to the group who can then pray at home. Updates and many expressions of thanks are alsosent to the Prayer Chain members. FLOWERS FOR THE HOLY TABLE - Susan Halliwell Durlng 2021, as a result of the covid restrirtions. flowers were only provided for Easter, Harvest and Chrlstmas and were not dlstrlbuted.

Thanks are extended to all those involved in this ministry. li

AUTUMN CLUB- Susan Halliwell During 2021 covid lock-downs and social distancing restriction meant that we were unable to hold the usual Autumn aub event5 in church. Instead we delivered a cream tea in summer and Christmas tea in December, both of which were most appreciated by around 26 of the older members of the congregation. We are hopeful that lcov1d-perm￿Ing) we will be back to nonnal in 2022 and ableto hold the events in church. TEAM sr MARY'S (Pastoral Support Group)- Maureen Heys The Team. has now been runningfor just over 12 months and has evolved and grown over that time with 22 members in the What5App group and one member not online. During 2021 the work of the group has evolved- lifts have been given when needed, contact has been maintained via telephone with members of the congregation unable to resume attending church, the talk5 and prayers 3re distributed weekly to half a dozen non-attendees and much more, as support within the group itself has grown. Team St Marfs, assisted in the distribution of around forty'goodrf bags to those needing encouragement. at Easter. and around twenty at Christmas, along with the distribution of around 100 cards and invites for Easter. Christmas. Harvest and lesser numbers in-between. Flowers were distributed on Mothering Sunday and for Fatherfs Day we attempted to reach all the men in the congregation with the gwft of a pen, inscribed with an inspiring verse. All of these initiatives have been with the aim of maintaining contact with people and fellowship, wrth deliverers encouraged, where and when possible land allowed), to have a word with the recipient. Members of the Team helped with the preparation and delivery of the Autumn Club'food deliveries, and in Ottober we held a socially-distanced Harvest Event, with tea and cakes. whlch included exhibits from groups within church and also superb arts & crafts from the congregation. With lifts provided, this event allowed several members of the congregation, who hadn't at that time made it back to worship in church, to meet up with friends and several members of the wider community dropped in too. The Team also helped provide tea and coffee at a Civic Pride event and the Hospice event. and members have resumed provision of refreshments after the Sunday service, as lockdown has eased. As pandemic restrictions begin to ease further, we are looking forward to continuing the work into 2022, and several new initiatwes are underway. to increase fellowship for members of the congregation via social events. A massive thank you to all the Team,. who have helped supportthis important work, especially through prayer, but also through deliveries, telephone calls. ideas and encouragement. 12

SMALL (House) GROUPS TUESDAY AFTERNOON-Jean Lang We meet in the foyer every otherweekon a Tuesday. from Ipm until 2pm, with around 7 to 8 people present now that we are back 'live'. after meeting online during lockdown. This year we have studied the Gospel of Mark and the book of Hebrews, which have provoked much discussion, besides learning about ourfaith. During Lent'22. when we will meet weekly¢ we will study the Passion of Christ based on 2 Corinthian5. WEDNESDAY GROUP- Nigel Bond Our house group was established over five years ago, we have continued to meet throughout the period either weekly, fortnightly or monthly. this flexibility has helped the group to strengthen and grow. Our meetings are founded on fellowship and studyingthe Bible. When lockdown eased in the summerof 2021, we started meeting fortnightly and continued all year. We had been studying the Book of James using the Journey Through Books, a 30-day study. using one day for each evenin& we completed the Book of James in May 2021. In June we started a study of the Book of Ruth using the JourneyThrough Books, we spent four evenings discussing the questions presented in the book. In September we held a meeting of thefull group to review the way forward. In doing thi5 we asked each person what do we bring? How often should we meet? What should we do next? We decided to continue with the JourneyThrough Books and a study of the Philippians. Thi5 study will see us through into 2022. In December we held an afternoon tea. The friendship and fellowship of the Group continues to blossom. this belng an important part of each meeting. We met during Advent, when we sang carols and read nine Christmas readings. Over winter we moved the meetings from evening to lunch time and reduced the frequency to monthly. In addition to our group meetings, we have held several Prayer Meetlngs on zoom with a forty- minute duration. The times of open prayer have been very rewarding and uplifting. We await to see how the Team Ministrywill develop the employment of House Groups throughout the Churches. In December 2021 an Advent Course was run as a part of the pendingTeam Ministry, this course was m05t refreshing and rewarding as we discussed the scriptures with a range of people from different churches across the valley. Currently a number of us have joined the course, Living in Love and Faith, being run nationally, but hosted locally by the Bury and Rossendale Deanery. The course is held weekly over five 13

evenings, the outcome may impact the future teaching of the church, ivs importantthat we hold this in prayer and remain faithful to the Word. Many Blessings Nigel & Sue. CAP RAwfENSTALL JOB CLUB The artivities of thejob Club were curtailed through Covid, but discussions have taken place and the Job Club is now active again with Jim Barrie as manager, supported by Catherine Pedley.
