## **3.  Minutes of the meeting held on 10[th] May 2022** 

## **ANNUAL MEETING OF PARISHIONERS, 10[th] May 2022** 

1. The meeVng opened with a song and a prayer, led by Steve Riddick. 

2. **ElecIon of Churchwardens:** Andrew Smith and Nigel Roe were both happy to conVnue in their roles as churchwarden and, as no-one else wished to stand, they were both re-elected unopposed without the need for a vote.  Steve thanked Andrew and Nigel and said we are very blessed and grateful for all their work, especially during the interregnum. 

## **ANNUAL PAROCHIAL CHURCH MEETING, 10[th] May 2022** 

1. Apologies were received from Julie Ingram, Peter Ingram, Moira Perrin, Jane Pringle, Helen Wilson and Lucy Worsley 

2. The **Minutes of the Annual Parochial Church MeeIng of 2021** were accepted and signed by Gareth Davies, Deputy Chairman of the PCC.  This was proposed by Dave Fisher and seconded by Clare Corley. 

3. **MaLers arising:** There were no ma]ers arising. 

4. **Postal voIng for the elecIon of lay representaIves to the PCC:** Postal voVng has been discussed at recent PCC meeVngs and it is now proposed that postal voVng be allowed at the APCM from 2023 onwards.  Electronic voVng is not allowed under Church of England rules.  The voVng will take place a^er the meeVng because people are eligible to be nominated for the PCC up unVl the start of the APCM.  Therefore, the results will not be known for approximately 2 weeks following the meeVng. People will have to request a postal voVng in advance of the meeVng and must be on the electoral roll.  It was proposed by Andrew Smith and seconded by Rhi Reeves that postal voVng for the elecVon of lay representaVves to the PCC be available from 2023 APCM and onwards.  The majority of people present voted for the moVon, with 5 abstenVons and one person voVng against. 

5. **Treasurer’s Report/ Acceptance of the Accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2021:** Andrew Smith introduced Rachel Limbrick, our Treasurer and said that she had suffered a serious injury 7 weeks ago but had managed to put together the accounts and gave a big vote of thanks to Rachel. 

Rachel reported that in 2021 our total income was £379,388, down on the income of 2020 of £468,587.  However, the 2020 income included £134,000 donaVon for the courtyard project.  Most of our income comes from planned/regular giving.  Planned giving was £274,000 in 2021, slightly down from £278,000 in 2020.  Rachel said it is very humbling to see how generous people are. In 2010 planned giving was £143,000 and this has nearly doubled in 11 years.  125 people give through the regular giving scheme.   Expenditure was £397,449, giving a small deficit of £18,000.  However, the budget forecast was a deficit of £50,000 so this is much be]er than expected. 

The Parish Share is one of the largest expenditure lines and currently stands at £83,000 in 2021. This has stayed the same for 2 years but will increase next year to £87,000. This payment is outside our control. We have long term investments of £61,168, an increase of £7,655 from 2020.  These have not suffered during Covid. Rachel gave huge thanks to the assistant treasurers, Alice Oakes and Di Rowe for all their help managing the day-to-day finances.  She thanked Andrew and Nigel for their support

and also thanked all the volunteers we have in the church, who are amazing.  The accounts are unexamined at present but have been scruVnised by the Finance Commi]ee.  Steve Riddick said he doesn’t expect them to change.  Gareth reiterated Andrew’s thanks to Rachel for all her help. 

6. **ElecIon of Independent Examiner for 2022:** The accounts are due to be examined by Louise Newman & Co. It was proposed by Andrew Smith and seconded by Rachel Limbrick that the company be asked to examine them again for 2022.  All were in favour. 

## 7. **ElecIons/Appointments:** 

One Parochial Lay member was elected to the Parochial Church Council for 3 years: Rachael Champness. 

**Sidesmen/Welcomers:** Andrew reported that welcomers have restarted at St Bart’s, the same people as before.  Celia Anderson has put together 5 welcome teams for St Andrew’s of approximately 40 people.  We now have welcomers and people serving coffee at the 9.00 am and 10.30 am services. Celia thanked all the people who have volunteered to help and team leaders and recorded a vote of thanks.   The list of names was proposed by Steve Riddick, seconded by Nigel Roe and agreed by all. 

8. **Churchwardens’ report:** An overhead presentaVon was made by Andrew and Nigel.  The full report will be made available. 

Two issues dominated the year; the conVnued and varying impact of Covid and the church family saying goodbye to Jonathan and Susie and entering into an interregnum in June. 

It was great that we were able to have a sizeable leaving service for Jonathan and Susie.  A^er 16 years theirs is a great loss but praise God we have come through the interregnum and Reverend John Monaghan our new vicar is starVng in less than a month. 

Throughout the year church life was impacted by Covid. However, the extent it impacted was greatly reduced through the live streaming project, the Connect Groups and the Pastoral Team. The acVvity of many going beyond that which could reasonably be expected has ensured that people within the congregaVon have felt involved, connected and pastorally cared for.   As live streaming conVnued to be crucial for many in the congregaVon to connect with the church and its worship equipment was enhanced and the technical teams were relocated to a new plaiormed area within St Andrew’s.  The reformed computer team completed an update of the website.  A]enVon then moved on to developing ‘ChurchSuite’ as the main channel for church communicaVon.  We aim to improve our communicaVon through electronic means.   Nigel thanked Ben Witchard and Colin Stephenson who provide a lot of technical advice and livestreaming and without whom we couldn’t do it.  Nigel said that he and Andrew have been so blessed by the support of so many people in keeping the congregaVon acVve, looking forward and working together for the Kingdom of God.  He thanked people for their support.  Connect groups had flourished through the use of Zoom and relocaVng into the church building while pastoral support has included the provision of over 200 meals, shopping for others and care for neighbours.  Thanks went to ChrisVna Castrofilippo for organising this.  Daily thoughts were shared on You Tube throughout the Lent period. 

The children’s and youth work were able to start meeVng in person, but Covid had an impact on those able and wishing to volunteer.  The introducVon of intergeneraVonal services once a month sought to ease this pressure and in the autumn we saw the numbers in our children’s and youth groups increase.  Harry started Youth Alpha two weeks ago and the average number of people in the first three weeks was 50, which is amazing, with 10-15 of those not connected with church before.

this helped to encourage a strong shortlist of applicants.  A special menVon is needed of our reVred clergy; Reverends John Risdon, Pat Springford, Simon Marshall, Paul Kenchington and also Dan Bu]on who have been central to helping us funcVon.  It is also a great blessing that Ian White has joined our church.  We thank you for ‘coming out of reVrement’ to help us provide marriages, funerals, bapVsms and regular Sunday and mid-week services.  In 2021 there were 6 bapVsms, 9 marriages and 31 funerals.  Nigel thanked Gareth Davies, our organist and his new recruit Jenni Philpo].  We are very grateful to Gareth and to Jenni for giving support to Gareth.   Andrew thanked Marilyn Baldwin for her help with the children’s groups.  He also thanked Julie Smith for all her work in the kitchen and said how important this is.  Nigel thanked the many people who help in various ways at St Andrew’s and St Bart’s. 

throughout the year. Mission giving is overseen by the Mission Team, a subcommi]ee of the PCC. The Mission Team allocates money from the Vthing (approximately 10% of general voluntary income given to the Church that is not given specifically for other purposes) and special gi^s encouraged by holding a special Mission orientated Sunday. A specific legacy and some individual gi^s in 2021 also increased the total given to £29,202. The giving was approved by the PCC.  In making its decisions the Mission Team primarily supports chariVes that are ether overtly ChrisVan or known to be run by ChrisVans, with the excepVon of some local organisaVons.  It divides the giving between local, naVonal and overseas.  It ensures that a variety of needs are met – relief aid, promoVng the ChrisVan faith and working with those in need.  It gives parVcular emphasis to those charitable acVviVes linked to members.  We also give non financial support to Listening Post who have the use of the whole building on Thursday evenings.   In the coming year we aim to restore more elements of church life, welcome our new vicar and his family, support Ukrainian refugees with church families and agree an improved policy for our financial reserves.  Nigel said that we can be opVmisVc for 2022 and see the Kingdom of God growing in Churchdown. 

## 9. **QuesIon Time:** 

- a. June with the When is the new vicar John starVng?  Andrew said that his first service is Wednesday 8[th] Bishop and Archdeacon.  John has been listening to our services on line and has been impressed by the preaching of our reVred clergy.  He has said that he doesn’t want to preach every week and is happy for people to carry on helping if they so wish. Andrew doesn’t think that the character of our church services will change very much. 

- b. What qualiVes did we see in John at his interview?  Celia who covered for Nigel, who had Covid at the Vme, said that John seemed to be a very honest and open person and has a strong desire to take the Gospel out to the community.  Andrew said that all five people on the interview panel were very impressed by John.  He gave a very good short sermon, talking about real life and real situaVons. 

Gareth said that it has been a privilege for him to chair the PCC meeVngs since Jonathan le^.  When John arrives and a]ends his first PCC meeVng on 13[th] June he has asked Gareth to chair the meeVng. Gareth echoed the point about our indebtedness to our reVred clergy throughout the vacancy.  He also said that the work Andrew and Nigel have done is hardly known and he thanked them for all their hard work.  The meeVng ended with a song, prayers and the saying of the Grace.

## **4. Burial Policy Motion** 

The following policy was approved by the PCC in January but it has been recommended that the policy should also be approved by the wider church through a motion to our APCM. We therefore ask the church to approve this policy: 

_This policy covers requests for new burial plots in our churchyard. The policy recognises that there is now limited space left for such plots. Reservations of plots before death should not be allowed whether from those with an entitlement or those requesting discretionary permission. In accordance with the law, plots are available to anyone resident in the parish at the time of death and all on the parish electoral roll. Requests for burial plots for those not meeting these criteria are at the discretion of our incumbent but as a matter of fairness, the PCC wishes these to be granted only where there is a very strong connection to the church, the parish or the churchyard._ Andrew Smith, Churchwarden. 

## **7.  Electoral Roll report** 

Currently, there are 400 on the electoral roll: 20 addiVons and 5 deleVons.

St Andrew's and St Bartholomew's joint PCC has the responsibility of working with the Vicar in promoVng the mission of the Church. The PCC is responsible for sharing the leadership, management and administraVon of a parish with the Vicar. Members of the PCC are elected by the Annual Parochial Church MeeVng (APCM) and serve for three years.  Its funcVon can be summarised as follows: 

- It exists to enable the church to play its part in God’s mission to his world 

- It exists to cooperate with the minister in sharing leadership 

- It exists to ensure legal compliance with charity law and ecclesiasVcal law, in parVcular in the areas of finance, employment and appointments 

- It exists to care for the buildings and churchyard so that they may be best suited for the purpose of the church’s ministry and mission 

- It exists to be a channel of consultaVon within the wider Church through its synodical structures on ma]ers that affect the Church locally and naVonally 

The PCC met 6 Vmes during the year. Since Revd John has arrived, we have met every second month on a Monday night and John has set up a Standing Commi]ee which meets in the interim months to prepare the next meeVng and chase up any outstanding acVons needed. This Commi]ee usually consists of the Vicar, Wardens, and a couple of others such as the Secretary and/or Treasurer.  This year we had a vision/values evening in October 2023 where we reflected on our values and funcVon (see above) as a PCC; we formed a HR sub-commi]ee to help us with our employment governance; and we are so thrilled to have made three full-Vme staff appointments. We also have a series of 'spotlights' throughout the year which help us to reflect on areas such as young people, safeguarding, mission and seasonal events.  Any member of the church who has an issue they wish to be raised in the PCC is invited to bring this to the a]enVon of the PCC secretary (or Revd John). If you think you have gi^s to offer our churches by standing on our PCC, do have a chat with our Vicar John at any stage in the year. There are opVons to co-opt you onto the PCC during the year if necessary. _Sue Francis, PCC Secretary._ 

## **9. Churchwarden Report** 

This year has been one of many changes, the biggest one being the arrival of John in June a^er a yearlong interregnum! John has been a tremendous blessing to the church, and we are incredibly thankful for his leadership, guidance and dedicaVon. 

In addiVon, we also want to express our graVtude to Nigel Roe, who stepped down as Churchwarden in December, for his hard work, wisdom, and kindness during his Vme in this role.  We have experienced a few staff changes during the year as people have moved on to pastures new and are grateful for God's abundant goodness and provision, sending us the right people at the right Vme to join our staff team. 

We want to express thanks to those in the church family who are serving in the church in whatever capacity – they are o^en hidden but their faithful dedicaVon and commitment enable us all to flourish. Do please prayerfully consider how you could serve and express an interest through the “Join In” link on the website or by contacVng the church office. 

Sunday worship and teachings have been inspiring, and it is a joy to see so many people coming together to worship God as one, parVcularly as the threat from Covid recedes. We look forward to seeing how and where God will lead us in the coming year.

## **10. Vicar’s Report** 

It’s been a joy and an honour, to pick up the ‘Vicar’ baton back in June 2022.  Over the past 11 months, I’ve been inspired and touched by stories of Jesus making a difference in your lives, and appreciaVng what a special community this is, under Jesus’ Lordship.  For ‘such a Vme as this’, the Lord has called us all together as we conVnue to bring ‘hope for all ages’ in Jesus’ name.  We received such a warm welcome when we moved from Bristol to Churchdown and are looking forward to planVng roots here with our new church family.  There has been so much life and change, so much to give thanks to God for over the past year.  There have been many people to say thank you to for their faithfulness and service as they have moved on into new roles, here or elsewhere, and many new faces that the Lord has provided. 

In just a few weeks, back in August, we said goodbye to our outgoing Youth pastor Harry Benne], and our Children’s pastor Laine Lewis – who have gone to Trinity Theological College, Bristol, to put on their own ‘Vicar L-plates’.  We are so thrilled that our new Children’s pastor Kate Smith started in January, and our new Youth Pastor Jamie Flores is hoping to start in July.  Later in August, we said goodbye to Dave Keeper, who was heading up Discipleship, and who has gone on to pastures new.  In November, Rhiannon Reeves, our Worship Pastor went on Maternity leave.  In December, our Warden Nigel Roe stood down during his third year of faithful service.  Andrew Smith, our current warden has been supported hugely by our deputy warden Celia Anderson.  In January, we said goodbye to Loraine Yates and Kevin Sadler in their long-held part-Vme roles as Church Administrator and FaciliVes Manager, and this May, Ma] Waterfield has been able to absorb both previous roles in a newly created full-Vme role as OperaVons Manager.  Earlier in 2023, our PCC secretary Leslie Dennish handed over the reins to Sue Francis, our Parish Safeguarding Officer, Lesley Ward handed over to Corinne Phillimore, and Tim Door, who took a lead in our Men’s ministry, handed over to Andy Champness. 

I am sure there have been many more volunteer changes than those menVoned above, and we are so grateful to the Lord for all of your conVnued service to him, in this, your local church.  Below is a snippet of some of the other leadership areas that I have been involved in this past year: 

**Governance and leadership –** management and appraisal process; set up a PCC HR sub-commi]ee; adopted a new staff handbook and values; reconfigured PCC yearly pa]ern, agenda for meeVngs and adopted values; set up a Standing Commi]ee; established yearly process for away days and training.  I have worked with our administrator and staff team to standardise the processes for offices such as Weddings, Funerals and BapVsms and we have moved our work calendars, diaries and events onto an online system. I have also been meeVng with leaders of various ministry roles such as Mission, Pastoral and Connect leaders as we discern the best way of supporVng their leadership.  I have immensely enjoyed visiVng roughly 20 Connect groups in the first part of 2023 and gezng to know more individuals in this way. It has been so rewarding being a part of releasing others to lead ministries such as our January 24/7 prayer week, and our Alpha course. 

**Sunday services –** updated 9am service liturgy.  We are also delighted that Jenni Philpo] has come alongside Gareth Davies as one of our organists.  At the 10.30am, we integrated the rotas fully onto ChurchSuite as well as the service plans; reconfigured the monthly pa]ern, reinstated a once-a-month Communion, offered more opportunity for tesVmonies, expanded the leading and preaching team considerably and started termly welcome teas for newcomers to find out more.  Our once-a-month 6pm service has been wonderfully led by Mark and Jen Golledge and has been a Vme of informal sung 

8 



worship, space, informal prayer and encounter with the Holy Spirit.  We conVnue to hold two services each month at St Bartholomew’s and I have been enjoying gezng to know folk there. 

I have enjoyed engaging with the Deanery, the Diocese, with Churches together in Churchdown, and gezng to know fellow clergy in the area. 

**Some thoughts for this next year –** I am looking forward to conVnuing to idenVfy, empower and release leaders in various ministries so we can conVnue to be the ‘one-body, many parts’ church that God has called us to be, rather than a ‘few parts’ serving the ‘large-body’! 

There may be formal or informal leadership training available where volunteers can have Vme to reflect, learn and grow in their ministries. I want to conVnue to work well with our newly created staff team and PCC/leadership as we discern the way forward together.  I will be grateful for a li]le bit more stability from the staff appointments process and HR/governance this year(!) so that there is more Vme available to provide leadership, and vision, building relaVonships and starVng to engage a bit more evangelisVcally with our community. 

In September, we will be launching a mini-Stewardship series as we encourage each other to give faithfully and generously of our Vme, resources and money so that we have the opportuniVes to conVnue to be a church that brings ‘hope for all ages’ and increasingly looks outwards into our communiVes with the hope of Jesus.  Also in the Autumn term, as well as our Church weekend at home, I hope we can work with our new Youth and Children’s Pastors to think strategically about developing relaVonships and outreach opportuniVes with our local schools.  Finally, I’m excited about learning how we can all conVnue to go deeper in discipleship as apprenVces under Jesus.  I love the phrase ‘Holy habits that keep God at the centre of everything’.  Habits such as Scripture, prayer, service, community and witness need to become increasingly a way of life for us all.  I’d love to find out more informaVon on what actually works in our day-to-day lives – what pa]erns and pracVces have actually taken root in our lives (and in the lives of our children/teenagers if we have them) and is there a disconnect between where we’d like to be and where we are currently; and how do we bridge that gap?  Let’s conVnue to pray for the Lord’s rich provision, wisdom and blessing as we keep in step with his Holy Spirit in this year ahead, love in Christ, Revd John Monaghan 

## **11. Fabric/FaciliNes report** 

Last year the church faciliVes were used more extensively as the threat from Covid reduced. No major works were carried out but lots of maintenance acVvity was undertaken. The regular 5-yearly survey of both churches was carried out in the summer and autumn. Unfortunately, we won’t receive the wri]en report unVl later this year due to the surveyor’s maternity leave, but we have had strong verbal assurances that no urgent work on the buildings is required. 

At the beginning of this year, Kevin Sadler le^ his role looking a^er our faciliVes, and another longserving stalwart of ensuring the buildings are fit for purpose - Gordon Goodman - is also starVng to step back. Julian Myrans conVnues to support in many ways as do many volunteers. With our new OperaVons Manager, we are developing new regimes to keep the faciliVes in a safe and suitable condiVon and idenVfy plans for project acVvity in future years.

## **12. Other Ministry reports** 

This is not an exhausVve list of the many and various ways we serve the local church and wider community and world.  We hope that this offers a flavour of some of the ministries that you have been involved in and offers us all opportuniVes for expressing thankfulness to God, to each other, and prayer for the future.

## **6pm Services & 24/7 Prayer** 

We are excited about the momentum that is gathering for our Sunday 6pm encounter evenings. St Andrew’s has grown in this area over many years through a previously held meeVng called Fuel. Our heart for our Sunday evenings is to be a place where people can encounter the Holy Spirit and share what He is talking to us about. These Vmes (currently on the first Sunday of every month at 6pm) allow for extended sung worship, provide an opportunity for people to bring propheVc words that bring encouragement as well as a Vme of discussion/reflecVon/prayer/supporVng each other, depending on the theme for the evening.  We are looking forward to seeing these evening Vmes together grow in 2023. In parVcular, we are looking to make the space open to our young people as well as gathering a small team who will build into these evenings.  If you are interested in being part of the team then get in touch with us. mark@markgolledge.com

**24-7 prayer** was a dedicated week held at St Andrew’s in early January 2023. We received many contribuVons of God communicaVng during that week. We grouped these into 10 themes which we are taking into our Sunday evening meeVngs. We are looking forward to arranging another 24-7 prayer week in due course. In the meanVme, we are encouraging people to link into the Thursday evening prayer meeVngs. You can find out more about 24/7 prayer at h]ps://www.24-7prayer.com/ or contact us at: prayer@stastb.church 

## **Alpha** 

Alpha is a course from Holy Trinity Brompton, designed to encourage people to discuss life and the ChrisVan faith through videos and small group discussions in an informal sezng.  There are 15 talks, each looking at a different aspect, although not all of these need to be included in every course.  The sessions usually take place once a week and there is an away day or weekend with the talks on the Holy Spirit and Vme to pray with people who would like this.  The last Alpha course at St Andrew’s ran from January to March 2023.  We had a team of 8 leaders and 25 guests, including a small Ukrainian group using material in Ukrainian available through HTB. Most guests came through a personal invitaVon from friends.  It made a huge difference to be able to provide a meal at the start of each session thanks to a wonderful kitchen team.  We had at least one person commit to faith and a number of others move forward in their understanding and thinking about Jesus. Some have joined Connect Groups.  Please pray for those who are just starVng out in their faith that it would take root and grow strong! 

## **CAMEO** 

people over the age of 65 who live in Churchdown, or who go to St Andrew’s or St. Bartholomew’s. The lunch consists of a served, two-course meal followed by a short period of entertainment: a quiz, a speaker, a musical group or a conversaVon. We have seen the number of guests dip following Covid. We now have a list of 57 guests, compared to 82 prior to the epidemic. We are very thankful for the three new volunteers who have joined the team over the last year and also for Debbie Cratchley, who has taken on the role of commi]ee leader, a^er Chris Eade reVred last month. We are grateful to Chris, who led the team for 15 years and are glad she will conVnue to come to CAMEO, this Vme as a guest.  We would welcome your prayers for a few more volunteers and specifically, someone to join the commi]ee. 

## **Children’s Assemblies and ‘Open the Book’** 

Our small team of Open the Book volunteers go into Churchdown Infants and Juniors School every Wednesday to give an assembly. We follow a series of Bible Stories, telling a different one each week by acVng out the stories in costume. We also bring costumes for children and invite a few each week to come and help us tell the story by joining us at the front. A^er each story, we give a short explanaVon about what we can learn from this and invite the children to join us in a prayer to finish if they would like to. This has given the church a great chance to connect with the school and keep on building relaVonships with them. Recently, the junior school have spoken to us about inviVng someone from St Andrews to come into a few classes and chat with some of the children about what being a ChrisVan looks like, which is a wonderful opportunity. As this ministry conVnues, prayer would be valued for conVnued opportuniVes to build closer relaVonships with the school and for more volunteers to join the team so that we can keep this ministry going.

## **Children’s Work & BLT** 

the month when we all have the opportunity to join together for an intergeneraVonal service. We have five groups running on a Sunday morning for children aged 0-11 and an amazing team of volunteers who keep this running. During our groups, the children have the chance to dig into God’s word and learn more about him together through cra^, discussions, games and prayer. It's been really exciVng to be a part of discussions with the children and to hear their thoughts and insights into God’s word. We’ve also been using different methods of prayer in our older groups, and it’s been wonderful to see some of the children really engaging with this. Our biggest prayer need in the Children’s Work at the moment is for more people to help. Ideally, we would have 4-5 more helpers; each helping once a month in our Children’s Groups. Alongside those helpers, several of our children have addiVonal needs and would really benefit from having 1-1 support to engage in the sessions. 

BLT  - Babies, Lunch and Toddlers runs every Wednesday in term Vme from 11:30am-1:00pm. We welcome parents and carers with children under the age of 4 to come, chat and play. The session starts with free play, followed by a story Vme and a chance to say grace together before a simple lunch of soup and cake. A^er a Diocese Under 5s Training Day gave the team some new ideas, we’ve decided to start introducing a singing Vme to the session which will include some simple worship songs. This will alternate with our Bible story Vme and we feel that both of these give us a great opportunity to share a simple message of God’s love for everyone with the children and their families. BLT is a wonderful ministry giving us a chance to welcome and connect with families from the local community. The team are o^en encouraged when we meet before each session to hear that someone has had the opportunity to lend a book or offer prayer to a parent or carer and we thank God for these openings. Please pray for wisdom as we look for events going on at St Andrew’s that we can invite our Wednesday families along to. 

## **Choir and St Bartholomew’s** 

FesVval CelebraVons at St Bartholomew’s a]racted more worshippers than in recent years this autumn, with Choral Evensong adding to the regular pa]ern of Sunday worship. The Church Choir has welcomed the addiVon of Organist, Jenni Philpo] to the team leading worship which includes valued worship volunteers. FesVval occasions have a]racted occasional worshippers who rarely come to regular services at either St Andrew’s or St Bartholomew’s. Looking ahead, addiVonal fesVval celebraVons are planned, including St Bartholomew’s weekend, Harvest Thanksgiving, All Saints and Advent, with the return of the tradiVonal village Carol Service, with local Rotary Groups. 

At St Andrew’s, the Church Choir also shares in the Communion Worship at the 9 o’clock Service. In leading the sung worship, the Choir looks to encourage those present with the use of hymns and songs that reflect the Biblical themes explored in the sermon series.  We are encouraged that regular a]endance has increased to pre-Covid numbers, and the Vicar’s new Orders of Service Booklets have been appreciated. These offer a creaVve approach to seasonal variaVons, including Easter and other major fesVvals.

## **Churches Together in Churchdown** 

Churches Together in Churchdown was formed 25 years ago formally but it is likely that it has been in existence for much longer.  It is a group of people/reps from all four churches in the village (St John’s, Methodist church, Our Lady’s RC church and St Andrew’s).  We meet four Vmes a year to share what we have been doing and how we can support each other. We plan joint acVviVes to serve the Churchdown area in which we can show God’s love and be a blessing to others... 

In past years, we have supported Christmas Day lunches at St John’s and St Andrew’s.  All congregaVons have helped at the summer holiday clubs at Innsworth.  We have worked together to hold very successful summer parVes with each church organising one aspect of it.  There have been many special churches together services, some outdoors in the summer. The charity shop Ripples was an amazing community project. The Good Friday Walk of Witness, which is a great way people can meet and talk with each other, is planned by the CCT team as is Remembrance Sunday and World Day of Prayer.   If anyone has a heart for seeing ChrisVans working together to further our joint witness in Churchdown, we would welcome more representaVves from St Andrew’s and St Bartholomew’s. Please talk to Catherine Rowland or Rachael Champness. 

## **Comms & Church Suite** 

CommunicaVon conVnues to be vital, especially a^er coming out of lockdown.  We aim to conVnue and push forward with our digital communicaVons with social media becoming a big part of this - we’re currently on Facebook, Instagram, Twi]er and YouTube and will be looking to increase content across all these plaiorms. Be sure to check if you are following us - all links are available on the website. ChurchSuite has conVnued to grow over the last year with now over 350 people signed up which is about 90% of the congregaVon. We are conVnuing with another big rollout this year to get all who can sign up signed up. We have started to use “Newcomers cards” to help to get up-to-date informaVon. Each newcomer will be presented with a newcomer’s card, either during a Sunday service or newcomers tea. These have been of great use in transferring data onto ChurchSuite; on average we are able to sign up 10 people at each newcomer's tea.  This coming year, we aim to have a ChurchSuite signup/help desk area once a month, in church, so we can help sign new people up and also help with any issues that people might have. If you have any quesVons about comms or ChurchSuite, feel free to email me on comms@stastb.church 

## **Connect Groups** 

Connect Groups are where small gatherings of church members meet in homes at various Vmes during the week. They provide the opportunity for building strong supporVve relaVonships that are difficult to form in a church where there are many members as in St Andrew’s. They aim to be places of welcome where there is worship, bible study, prayer and encouragement to share faith with those who have yet to know God’s love in Christ. There is no ‘one size fits all’ such that each group has its own ‘flavour’.  As the Bible has much to say about caring for one another, Connect Groups are an ideal sezng for this to take place. The past year has been one of restructuring, with the aim of improving communicaVon and making it easier for people to access groups and sharing of resources. We have seen new group leaders emerge, some groups ‘reVred’ and other groups form. At present, we have 22 groups meeVng and a huge debt of thanks goes to the numerous group leaders who give sacrificially of their Vme to serve St Andrew’s in this vital ministry of discipleship.

## **Deanery Synod** 

In order to facilitate upwards and downwards communicaVon, the Diocese of Gloucester is divided (on a largely geographical basis) into nine deaneries, headed by an Area Dean. Each parish is enVtled to elect representaVves to their Deanery for three meeVngs each year (known as Synods). We are in the Severn Vale Deanery. Synods in 2022 were held in Westbury, Sandhurst and Hartpury. The first two meeVngs dealt largely with a Strategic Planning Process which the Diocese has asked each Deanery to undertake, and covered topics including: (i) how our plans are being developed, (ii) how we can all work together more closely, and (iii) the future of our church buildings (especially relevant for more rural parishes). Meanwhile, the third Synod was largely given over to Bishop Rachel, visiVng the Deanery, who spoke of the changes she has seen in her seven years in Gloucester; the LIFE Together Vision which knits together everything the Diocese is trying to do; and various issues facing the church as a whole. We currently have vacancies for Deanery representaVves, and I would encourage anyone who is interested in wider Church ma]ers to consider puzng themselves forward. 

## **Friday’s Kitchen** 

term Vme. We provide a light lunch of soup, salads and sweets, tea & coffee. We ask for a donaVon - this enables anyone to a]end. We are staffed by two teams of volunteers made up of both women and men. We offer a warm welcome. The average a]endance is 40; made up of all ages - church members from both St Andrew's and St Bart's, along with members of the wider community.  We are always looking for new members of the team to lighten the load. No experience is necessary, just a desire to learn and serve. 

## **Hospitality** 

situaVons. Although we run the kitchen enVrely with volunteers, we are covered by the requirements of Food Hygiene InspecVons by Tewkesbury Borough Council - because we serve such a wide range of people, young, elderly, including the vulnerable. We currently hold a five-star raVng. This requires us to run the facility as a food outlet, not a domesVc kitchen. All church events are led by at least one member who holds a Level 2 Food Hygiene CerVficate. This year we have provided; refreshments for services and church-based groups, lunch at BLT, CAMEO and Friday’s Kitchen, an evening meal for ALPHA (ably supported by volunteer servers from Connect Groups), Women's and Men's breakfasts, refreshments for those a]ending Warm Spaces, refreshments and meals during interview processes, a meal for visiVng clergy groups, and a celebraVon tea at John's licensing service. Those booking the church for lezngs also have the opportunity to use the kitchen.  If you'd like to become more involved, or just know more, please do ask. 

## **Meals Ministry** 

The meals ministry is a group of men and women from within the St Andrew’s church family who has volunteered to provide a meal when needed. Meals are provided to families and individuals to help in situaVons like short-term illness/injury, the birth of a new baby, bereavement, and significant lifechanging events/situaVons. Meals are organised by using an online scheduling website. Team members can sign up quickly and easily by using a link which is sent to them in a WhatsApp group. It is a joy to be able to provide homemade meals to people in their Vme of need. RelaVonships and community are built through the conversaVons that take place on the doorsteps of people’s homes. 

14 



Thank you to all the people on the meals team, who so willingly and reliably make wonderful meals for people.  Prayer point – please pray that the Lord would call two or three more people to join the meals team in the next few months. 

If you enjoy cooking and are interested in gezng involved with this ministry, please contact ChrisVna Castrofilippo    Email: chrisVnagingerich@hotmail.com 

## **Men’s Ministry** 

Over the last year we have maintained the acVviVes held previously and begun to develop new ways of supporVng and encouraging the men in St Andrew’s and St Bartholomew’s in their discipleship. We have held a men’s breakfast every 2 months, with over 40 men a]ending each occasion. The men’s connect group conVnues to thrive under Andrew Smith’s leadership. A small group, coordinated by Ma] Mortlock, have started meeVng twice a month on Friday evenings at the Old Elm for those on the fringes of the church. Tim Door stood down from leading the men’s ministries a^er several years. The men of the churches would like to thank him for his energy and service. As we pick up the reins, we are in the process of reviewing the purpose, vision, strategy and approach, and are looking to involve more men in making men’s ministries happen and coordinaVng acVviVes. 

## **Mission Team** 

to its mission partners throughout the year. The Mission Team enables this, but many aspects of church life are missional. Some highlights from 2022: 

Ukrainian families seeking refuge in the UK were welcomed, hosted, and enabled to make the most of their unfamiliar environment. £8k was given and disbursed to help the families with necessiVes such as school uniforms. In support of OperaVon Christmas Child, 19,500 shoeboxes of Christmas goodies for children were checked, sorted, and packed into container lorries desVned for Eastern Europe. Many of the recipients were children displaced by the Russian invasion. We held a Mission Sunday including displays from some of our mission partners covering outreach and pastoral support to the motorcycle community, bible and language translaVon including non-verbal language and the use of art to communicate the gospel. 

10% of the church’s unrestricted voluntary giving plus individuals’ gi^s is given to mission partners. In 2022 this amounted to £35k in total, disbursed to enable 22 mission partners - some serving close to home such as Foodbank and Teens In Crisis, some thousands of miles away such as Africa Inland Church (Daniel & Susan Lemadada) leading church plants in Kenya and via a church member’s mission trip, essenVal food to help alleviate the famine in Malawi. 

## **Pastoral Care & Home HC Visits** 

This year has been one of transiVon from the restricVons placed on pastoral care through Covid 19 to a return to ‘normal’. Throughout Covid 19 there has been a wonderful informal network established to keep in touch with those who are in our church family. Thank you everyone for making this possible. We are now seeking to provide a li]le more structure to the pastoral care provided within our churches over the coming year. More details will be forthcoming in due course. However, we will conVnue to rely on all church members to be commi]ed to love one another because we ourselves are first loved by God and therefore help others in their Vme of need. Included in pastoral care provision will be: Bereavement Support; Home Communion; Meal Provision; Pastoral concerns; Prayer 

15 



and visits. Once again, thank you to all those who have made it possible to provide pastoral care within our churches. It could not be achieved without you. For more details do contact Nigel Roe. 

## **Prayer Chain and Friday Healing Prayer** 

There has been a prayer group meeVng on Fridays, for many years, in person at St Andrew’s and on Zoom, throughout Covid Vmes, to offer intercessory prayer (or in-person prayer) for those in need of healing. In parVcular, we have been persistent in prayer for several children and young people who are members of our church family, with significant long-term medical condiVons, as well as at one stage having three group members undergoing acVve chemotherapy.  The pastoral prayer chain has also been running for many years – this is a small group of commi]ed members who don’t meet together, but are willing to pray, in confidence, for all significant needs communicated to them – o^en this may be where someone has requested that ‘the church’ should pray for their situaVon. This group of faithful prayer warriors diligently undertakes this on our behalf. The Friday Healing Prayer group has recently decided to stop meeVng for the Vme being (many thanks to Gordon Goodman for his leadership), but the Prayer Chain (coordinated by Julie Ingram) is sVll acVve. 

## **Prayer Ministry** 

Luke 4:40 ‘At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of illness, and laying his hands on each one, he healed them.’ John 14:12 ‘Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.’ 

We have teams (currently 6-8 people) on a rota for a parVcular Sunday of the month, and we pair up to pray. The team meets from 10-10.20am in the church lounge, to pray for each other, and wait on the Lord, in case He gives a word/picture to share. Then we make ourselves available at the front, at the end of each 10.30am service, to offer prayer ministry to whoever comes forward, in the name of Jesus and in the power of the Holy Spirit. We’re grateful to God for the way in which He ministers to people during these Vmes. It’s also encouraging to see church members chazng and spontaneously praying for those around them a^er the service. 

## **Prayer on Thursdays** 

Prayer is so important. We all know that, right? 

It is like the engine in a car. It gives power to our lives and the life of the church. And the more we pray, the more we will see answered prayer and God’s will and way being revealed, not to menVon miracles happening.  And it’s relaVonal. Not only does prayer change things, it also helps us get to know God be]er. With it, we see more of God’s fingerprints on the things that ma]er. Without it, well it comes down to our own human strength and perseverance. Isn’t it be]er to involve the One who knows everything?! So we meet to pray every Thursday evening at 7.30pm for about 40 minutes over Zoom; the online group video app that no-one had heard of before Covid. The password is detailed in the weekly noVce sheet. It’s incredibly convenient; we all join from the comfort of our own homes. 

We pray for others. Be it in church ministries, in leadership, in outreach, for upcoming events and fesVvals. Also for current issues that need God’s intervenVon in this broken world we live in, and for our mission partners who are serving in various places locally and abroad.  Whilst we don’t always get to see the answers to our prayers, we strongly believe that God hears everyone and is constantly 

16 



working behind the scene to answer them His way in His Vming. It’s all about Him at the end of the day! Over the past year, we definitely know prayer has influenced many key decisions and outcomes in our church. And we wait expectantly for more.  There is no wrong prayer, just too few of them. If you are free and want to join in seeking more of His Kingdom coming, more of His Will being done on earth as in heaven, do log in on Thursday nights at 7.30pm. It will be great to see you! 

## **Safeguarding Report** 

Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults within our church community. 

Whilst everyone in our community is responsible for safeguarding the children and vulnerable adults within our community, there is a core team of us that meet regularly to ensure that the formal systems and documents required to support this are robust, up to date and user-friendly. The work of our church core team is supported by the local Diocesan Safeguarding team who have lots of useful informaVon, training and guidance to help us navigate any issues that arise.  We are here to implement strategies to support any individuals subject to formal safeguarding processes to conVnue to a]end church acVviVes with confidence. We are currently working on developing a user-friendly pathway for each team to use for their safer recruitment process which will mean that anyone volunteering in any capacity in the church will have a clear descripVon of the role responsibiliVes and the church will be able to demonstrate due diligence for the safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults within our community in our recruitment of volunteers. 

Anyone who volunteers in any capacity in the church needs to complete a self-declaraVon or a Data and Barring Service check every three years depending on the role they fulfil.  This will be led by the people who head up each parVcular acVvity or group. 

We are so grateful to God for bringing together the core team and the provision of sound leadership and support from the Diocesan team.  Please pray that we are quietly guided to every safeguarding situaVon and that there are always capable people ready to support those who are in need.  Our Safeguarding policy is on our website h]ps://www.stastb.church/safeguarding and more contact informaVon is available outside the parish office. 

## **The KniLers** 

The St Andrews Knizng group meets every Thursday from 10am to 12 noon in the Church Centre. We are a mix of both Church and non-Church members and numbers are regularly twenty or more each week. The morning provides an opportunity for ladies in our local community to meet up together to knit and chat. Some of our group first a]end the 10am Communion Service and then join the group. We provide coffee and biscuits for refreshments. In 2022 we raised £1,200 for Gloucester Foodbank, run by the Trussell Trust, and £425 for Samaras Aid, a Syrian charity. All the money raised was from the sale of our knitwear plus donaVons. We have also donated blankets to Gloucester City Mission, hats and scarves to the Cathedral Breakfast Club and baby items to Li]le Bundles and the Elim Charity shop in Gloucester. For more informaVon, please contact Anne Ewart ewartanne@gmail.com or 07751784083 

## **The Producers** 

chronic pain. It is open to the wider community and comes under the heading of social prescribing. Repairs, refurbishment and construcVon of new items including benches, raised veg beds and garden 

17 



planters are worked on every Tuesday in the Church Centre. Through listening and talking to each other (including tea and cake) strong bonds have been made and a new inner confidence has occurred within the group. 

I believe that the right people have been involved from the start nearly 7 years ago to oversee God's work in giving hope to men who someVmes have no hope. If you need any more informaVon or need anything, please contact Julian 07778039216. 

## **Welcome and Info Teams Report** 

The Welcome Team is responsible for making our church family and visitors feel welcome and comfortable in church - the welcome received sets the tone for the experience of being in church. When people feel welcomed, they are more likely to return, become acVve members, and invite others. During the past year, the Welcome Ministry has aimed to: 

- create an atmosphere which makes everyone feel valued and appreciated, fostering a sense of community and belonging. 

- answer quesVons, parVcularly for newcomers, and provide informaVon. 

- provide assistance with seaVng and help visitors and members navigate the building. 

- provide refreshments a^er the Sunday services to encourage people to stay longer and connect with one another, sharing stories and building relaVonships. 

We are thankful for all the people who serve in this area and for the number of new church members whom we have been able to interact with. However, there are Vmes when we are short of people – please pray for more to offer to serve in this area. Please also pray for the team to have an increased awareness of people who are not feeling “at home” in the church – it is very easy in a large church for people to feel alone. 

Being part of the Welcome Team provides a great opportunity to serve others and to meet other people in the church. We are organised into 5 teams, each team taking its turn throughout the year. Do use the “JOIN IN” link on the website if you would like to offer to serve in this area. 

## **Women’s Breakfast & Women’s Day** 

The women's church breakfast is held every two months as an opportunity for fellowship over breakfast, where 40-50 women listen to a talk from a church member or a guest speaker, followed by discussion and prayer on the topic. The aim is to encourage each other's growth in faith through tesVmony.  The Women’s Day is a larger annual event where invitaVons are sent out to smaller churches in the area. Women come together for a day to listen to talks, pray, worship, grow in faith and support each other in ChrisVan friendships.  For some, it is a Vme to be held in the spirit and for others a Vme to build faith and courage to live according to God's purposes. Please pray that the Lord will conVnue to use the group to encourage and build faith. 

## **Worship & Tech Teams** 

The Worship Team provides musicians and singers for the 1030 and 1800 services at St Andrew’s.  These services have a contemporary style of sung worship led by a worship leader and band.  The worship at these services uVlises a rich mixture of musical sources from the last two centuries - tradiVonal hymns that suit a band arrangement, more recent hymns from composers such as Stuart Townend and Phil Wickham, and modern worship songs from ministries such as Hillsong, 

18 



Bethel, Vineyard, ElevaVon and Passion that have inspired worship over the church worldwide. The Worship Team is led by Rhiannon Reeves, Worship & CreaVve Pastor, but otherwise comprises of volunteers, and altogether there are currently 20 people involved in the ministry.   This year we’ve had to manage through some parallel absences – Rhiannon’s maternity leave, and Isy and Flo taking up their posVng in California – but as He has always done over the years, God has provided new and capable musicians at just the right moment to see us through.  The ministry aims to maintain a high standard of musicianship – we interview and audiVon new members to assess their musical ability and their alignment with the values and qualiVes we strive for.  We want the band to serve and support our worship and not to be ‘noVced’.  To God be the glory! 

The Tech Team is involved in supporVng all morning and evening services at St Andrew’s.  At every service we have personnel running the sound desk and data projecVon, and we add a further three people at the 1030 service to coordinate the livestream broadcast and video cameras.  Tech Team members also coordinate the installaVon and maintenance of the necessary hardware and so^ware that supports our worship.  In all, 16 volunteers are involved in the ministry. 

Over the last year we have had sound engineer training – helping especially in correctly sezng EQ for each individual singer, speaker and instrument to improve sound quality in the church and on the livestream, we have made improvements to the visual mix of video and words projecVon on the livestream, and have dealt with the quirks and gremlins that linking mulVple PCs running mulVple so^ware packages through hundreds of metres of cable throw our way from Vme to Vme!  Always fun when these occur live in the services!  It’s also been really pleasing to get some of our youth parVcipaVng in the Tech Team.  We pray that this ministry conVnues to make our services accessible, audible, atmospheric and enjoyable and that God never ceases to sustain it with able volunteers! 

## **Youth Report** 

St Andrew’s youth ministry serves children in the church who are secondary school age. Since Harry’s departure last year, the ministry has been covered by Adam Greenland from the staff team, supported by a team of volunteers. We anVcipate that our new youth worker, Jamie Flores, will join us over the summer. Youth currently have two sessions each week, one on Sunday mornings during the 10.30am service and another on Monday evenings. Sunday sessions have been following a termly teaching programme devised by Chris Folle]. Last term we looked at different ways to encounter Jesus and were pleased that other members of the congregaVon were able to input into this. The Monday evenings have had a more informal, social focus, and are delivered by a team led by Adam. 

Both sessions are well a]ended, and we are blessed with a group of young people who are keen to grow in their relaVonships with each other and Jesus. Our main prayer points are really for the current team, as they seek to encourage and support the young people in their faith journey. We have been looking to expand the team and also develop Monday evenings further, in order to recapture some aspects of the youth small groups that ran previously. Please also pray for Jamie and his family, as they make the transiVon from living and working in the US to joining us here in Churchdown.
