The Trustees for Methodist Church Purposes delegate responsibility to the Circuit Meeting for the effective deployment of the resources of ministry, which include people, property and finance as they relate to the Methodist Churches in the Circuit.

Structure and decision-making

The Circuit Ministers work as a team sharing responsibilities across the Circuit except that each presbyter has pastoral charge for one or more churches. The Circuit Leadership Team takes day-to-day management decisions.

The Circuit Meeting is the principle decision-making body responsible for the affairs of the Circuit and the development of circuit policy.

MISSION STATEMENT OF THE WINCHESTER, EASTLEIGH & ROMSEY CIRCUIT

Religious Activities

Acts of worship and pastoral care. The Circuit produces a quarterly preaching plan to ensure regular acts of worship take place at each of the Methodist churches under its remit. These are open to all people, without charge. The Ministers have pastoral care for these churches. Two lay Pastoral Visitors assist the minister at Chandlers Ford Methodist church & a further lay Pastoral Visitor assists the minister who has pastoral responsibility for Romsey and other churches in and around the edge of the New Forest by visiting the elderly, housebound, people in hospital etc. In 2021/22 this staff team was extended by the appointment of three Lay Pastors, who serve the churches at Cadnam, Landlord (and former members of Canada Common and Wellow) and Alresford.

Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals. The Ministers offer baptisms, weddings and funerals at each of the local Methodist churches in the Circuit. These services are available at the discretion of the Minister.

.

Work with Children, Youth, and Families in the local Community

By funding a lay worker to focus on working with young people in the local Community the Circuit supports

the work done in the local churches to

~ create and strengthen relationships and help people along their life's journey

~ ensure people feel welcome and get a positive experience of Church life

~ encourage people to start and continue a journey into faith.

The year 2021/22

The Circuit strategy of introducing a new role of “Lay Pastor” was given a boost during the year as the three roles designated were all filled and the Circuit welcomed Peter Castle (Wellow, Canada Common and Landford); Susan Parsons (Cadnam) both at the start of the year (September 2021) and then Jon Hughes (Alresford) joined the Circuit staff from the beginning of April 2022.

In Ministerial news, we were pleased to match with the Rev Peter Rayson, who will join the Circuit as Superintendent Minister serving at Wesley Weeke, Kings Somborne and Alresford churches from 1[st] September 2022. In addition, towards the end of the year, in July, we were delighted to learn that Rev Kate Cambridge would be stationed in the Circuit with effect from 01/09/2022 as she extended her hours to meet the ongoing needs of the Circuit.

The Circuit Strategy was reviewed regularly throughout the year and in addition a specific strategy for Children’s work to under pin the work of the Circuit Youth worker was agreed in June 2022.

Winchester, Eastleigh & Romsey Methodist Circuit; Report to the Charity Commissioners for the year ended 31st August 2022

Sadly during the year there were some churches who needed to change how they would be designated or meet.

The Kings Somborne congregation through their Church Council sought to merge with the congregation at Wesley Weeke and that was agreed at the March 2022 Circuit Meeting. They would continue to worship in Kings Somborne and the ongoing use of the building would support the Messy Church in the village.

The Wellow congregation also voted to stop using the building and would explore options at being a class of the Romsey church and use community buildings in the village.

Finally, sadly Canada Common church voted to cease to meet and held their final service at the end of May 2022. The church building is blest with a graveyard and as such the Circuit will explore options to use the building in a different way.

The Circuit continues to drive a strong Eco agenda and all churches in the Circuit were challenged to hold a “Climate Sunday” during the year, which many did and this brought changes to thinking in churches as to how to conduct themselves. Members of the congregations were also prompted to think about how they could make changes in their lives to meet the climate emergency.

Property challenges remain high on our agenda, and it was with sorrow that we accepted the resignation of Stephanie Roux as our Property Steward. She was thanked for the time and hard work she had given the Circuit. On the back of this, a decision was taken to look at outsourcing the majority of the work to one of the professional firms accredited by the Methodist Connexion and a subgroup of Circuit Stewards was set up to progress this. They would also support churches and ministers with property issues as required.

Finally at the end of then year we said fond farewells to Rev Sue Keegan von Allmen, Rev Bob Kitching and Rev Howard Mellor as they relinquished their ministerial roles within the Circuit. We are grateful to all three for the faithful way they have carried out their roles and responsibilities.
