Introduction I began work in the Circuit on 1st September 2022 and have spent the time Sin then leaming about the circuit and its peoe. It has bn to see churches butlding Confiden again and retuming to life followtng the COV pandemic, although it is clear that there are sorlle areas of lrfe and wotk which will not retum to pre-pandemtc revels. All churches kn consKJerabFe challenges spectfic to their thal context but more generally conmIng levels of income and peOe able and wrlling to C8Try Out essential functnS. Nevertheless there is much go(Kl work tsking thrc>ughout the circurt as churches respond to the missional needs within their MmUnrttes. This includes new work in resronse to n"onal and intemational challenges such as the cost of living crisis. where churches have set up Wami Spaces and similar initiatives," and where churches are SUPWfknng the cause of vicljms of the in Ukraine. I do believe that the ctturch is in a liminal season and that this brings its own ChaIgeS and anxieties. But I believe that as we seek the WFII of G(xl for our work and our churches. and as we continue to worship Him, we will continue to meet those detnands as we are led in new directy.ons and ays of working. Rev Andrew P Biggs Superintendent Mintster Circuit Mission Statement The Circurt Mission Ststemenl is presentjy as fr)Ilows". To encourage. enable and equip local congregations to live out their discipleship of worship. service and mission in response to the gospel of God's love in Christ Following the creation of the West Oxfordshire Circuit. this statement is urTder review. Review of the year Activities: Pandemic- Church life and the work of the circurt has started to retum to prwndemic levels, aithough church-related activittes have become fewer in number and in many pe5, attendance at worship is k)wer than in 2019. Some churthes. whilst hotding live worship. ak50 make their servKes available using Zt))m. live streaming or sound recording. Most required meeb.ngs ha¥e held live- sometimes making use of ZcK)m as well tor more distsncal memiET5- or duriThJ winter ts"mes. Many churches have conkn.nued to find their income substsntially reduced- esraty where they have been used to rl¥Ing fees for foom hire, etc., although most assessments were able to be met during the year. However, assIStan was prowded from circust funds lo one church with a grant equNalent to one quarterfs assessment Change of ministets- 2021-22 sees the end of Rev Rose WestrKKJd'5 time in this circuit as she has been slationed as Superintendent of the Cambridge Circuit and we her well in her new appointrnent. Rose's departure means that a new Superintendent Minister has been statne0 in the West Oxfordshire Circuit, and we look forward to welcoming and working wrth Rev Andrew Biggs as he comes from Gbucesler to live among us and to work and wotship and Fdan with us for the future of this Cirojrt arKI rts churches and communities.
