Review of the Year
The PCC met 6 times in 2025. {plus the meeting directly after the APCM). The average level of attendance at the meetings was 810A which is higher than the last year. The PCC has received regular reports from the Parish Treasurer, the three church Sub-committees, Safeguarding, Youth and Children's work in the parish, the Mission Committee and the Business Forum, keeping up to date with what is happening across the parish. The appointment of officers for each Sub-committee were approved. The Standing Committee did not meet in 2025. Statement of Parochial Church Council's Responsibilities Charity law requires the Council to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its financial aciivities for that period and adequately distinguish any material special trust or other restricted fund of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to: a) select Suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; bl make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; c) state whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the appropriate SORP on Accounting by Charities and the Accounting Regulations and with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and dl prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue. The Council is responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the charity, and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities. Public benefit, objectives and activities The PCC have given due regard to public benefit when planning the church's activities, in accordance with section G2 and G3 of the Charity Commission's General guidance on Public Benefit (January 2008). The paragraphs above and below set out the PCCS attivities, achievements and performance during the year, which are directly related to the objects and purposes for which the church exists. The church achieves its principal objects and purposes through: high quality public worship, both traditional and contemporary
pastoral care and support of those in need promotion of Christian aid, mission agencies and other charitable causes. These benefits are directly related to the aims of the church and are fully compliant with Principles l and 2 of the Charity Commission Principles on Public Benefit. The PCC participates in the Pension Builder Scheme section of CWPF for lay staff. CWPF is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, which holds the CWPF assets separately from those of the Employer and other participating employers. CWPF has two sections: l. the Detined Benefits Scheme 2. the Pension Builder Scheme, which has two subsections; a. a deferred annuity section known as Pension Builder Classic, and, a cash balance section known as Pension Builder 2014. Reserves Policy: It is PCC policy to maintain a balance of readily available unrestricted funds which equates to approximately three months unrestricted payments to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time. The balance of £976,362 of unrestricted current assets at the year ended 31 December 2025 more than covers this target. Pension Builder Scheme Both sections of the Pension Builder Scheme are classed as defined benefit schemes. Pension Builder Classic provides a pension, accumulated from contributions paid and converted into a deferred annuity during employment based on terms set and reviewed by the Church of England Pensions Board from time to time. Discretionary increases may also be added, depending on investment returns and other factors. Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump sum which members use to provide benefTts at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. Discretionary bonuses may be added before retirement, depending on investment returns and other factors. The account, plus any bonuses declared is payable, unreduced, from age 65. There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme.
The scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. This is because it is not possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme's assets and liabilities to specific employers and means that contributions are accounted for as if the Scheme were a defi'ned contribution scheme. The pensions costs charged to the SOFA in the year are the contributions payable (2025: £13,649, 2024: £11,731). A valuation of the Pension Builder Scheme is carried out once every three years. The most recent valuation was carried out as at 31 December 2022. For the Pension Builder Classic section, the valuation revealed a surplus of £34.8m on the ongoing assumptions used. At the most recent annual review effective I January 2026, the Board chose to grant a discretionary bonus of IO% to both pensions not yet in payment and pensions in payment in respect of service prior to April 1997,. and a bonus on pensions in payment in respect of post April 1997 service so that the pension increase was also IOOA (where usually it would be calculated based on inflation up to an annual cap of 5% for pensions in payment in respect of service prior to April 2006 and 2.5% for pensions in payment in respect of service post April 20061. This followed improvements in the funding position over 2025. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time. For the Pension Builder 2014 section, the valuation revealed a surplus of £8.5m on the ongoing assumptions used. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the currenttime. The Church of England Pensions Board has agreed that some employers could use assets in the DBS of the CWPF in lieu of contributions to Pension Builder Classlc and/or Pension Builder 2014. You will see this information on your DBS statement which will be sent separately. The next valuation is being carried out as at 31 December 2025. The legal structure of the scheme is such that if another employer fails, the PCC could become responsible for paying a share of the failed employer's pension liabilitie5.
SAFEGUARDING REPORT Our parish safeguarding strategy continues to be aligned to the five Safeguarding Standards set by the National Safeguarding Team and adhered to by the diocese of Salisbury. For 2026 the diocese will be focusing on Standards l & 4 to explore in greater depth. i. rul°Lure and Lecidership Pi'eweiitioii 3. Responding to Risk 4. Victims and Survivors 5. Learning, Supervision and Support. Once again, in November the parish took part in National Safeguarding Sunday which we believe helps to develop the culture that Safeguarding is Kingdom business & everyone's responsibility. Alongside our pastoral safeguarding work directly with church family members, we continue to work on the necessary administrative tasks. We work closely with church officers and team leaders in support of safer recruitment & people management, offering face to face training and help with completion of DBS check requirements as needed. The Safeguarding Dashboard continues to inform our compliance and action planning, and we are pleased to be able to report our piloting of the Safeguarding Hub and Dashboard has enabled us to trial and recommend some amendments to the system. However, since the minimum requirements for volunteer training and criminal record checking have been revised, there have been additional administrative demands on the PSOS time, hopefully in the short term. We are pleased to be able to report that the PCC has authorised some additional hours of administrative support to assist with this. We are extremely thankful to the diocesan safeguarding team and everyone in the parish for their ongoing support in our endeavours to create environments that are both welcoming and safe. Their contributions play a vital role in ensuring that our parish stays a place where everyone feels secure and supported. We remain committed to developing a culture where any concerns can be raised and are responded to openly, promptly and consistently. We are pleased to be able to report that the PCC has complied with the duty to have "due regard" to the House of Bishops, Safeguarding Policy and Good Practice Guidance. Judi Hatchard. Jane Hazell & Barbara Jaggs Parish Safeguarding Officers
BUSINESS FORUM REPORT th The Business Forum (BF) is the 4 Sub Committee {in addition to the three Church Sub Committees} that meets within the framework of the PCC. It meets to discuss non-ministerial governance of the PCC, to bring informed proposals and recommendations to the PCC for discussion and approval. It comprises a Pcc-approved chair and secretary, the individual church treasurers, along with Safeguarding and H&S representation, and a warden from each church. The parish clergy attend plus additional representation, as required. The BF met throughout 202515 meetings in totall, generally a few weeks in advance of PCC meetings. The meetings continue to be conducted using TEAMS {except for the first Meeting following the APCM} and have reviewed the ongoing and emerging business activities of the church. During 2025, consideration has been given to the role of Team Treasurer and whether that should continue in its traditional form. Following initial exploration of several options, the model that is being developed is based on the three church treasurers comprising the Treasurers Team, within which many of the Team Treasurer activitie5 are implemented. The Team Treasurer role outline has been deconstructed, and each activity has been systematically tested by shared load within Treasurers Team. New role outlines for the church treasurers and the chair of the Treasurers Team {selected from one of the church treasurers) will be completed, following the 2026 APCM (after a full year cycle). Parish finances are presented to the BF and reviewed in advance of being reported to the PCC. The treasurers, along with the sub-committees, met the deadlines set out in a schedule to deliver the 2026 budget to the PCC for approval before 2025 year-end. In an increasingly volatile financial environment, great care and much prayer was invested in 2026 budget preparation. Health and Safety is a regular agenda item for the BF and has provided a platForm for parish-wide and individual church issues to be raised. Lessons from experience can be reviewed and the outcomes cascaded appropriately to the individual church H&S reps. Safeguarding is also a regular agenda item, with the safeguarding input to PCC being presented, in advance, to the BF. Safeguarding is reported in greater detail elsewhere in this report. David Wells Business Forum Chair
PARISH CHURCH REPORT I'd like to begin by introducing our new 'Welcome Statement, This statement has arose out of a sense of 'Who we are, and 'Where God is leading us,, where we are seeing God at work within us and within this community. I'll use some of the main points a5 our headings for this year's report Welcome to Canford Magna Parish Church Whether you're here for the first time or returning home, we're so glad you've found your way to ourcommunity. Our church is more than just stone and stained glass- it's a living space of worship, renewal and friendship. Here, ancient rhythms of prayer meet the vibrant pulse of today. We gather to worship, to serve and to grow in the way of Jesus through Bible-centred teaching and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. From quiet contemplation to joyful 50ng, from deep tradition to fresh expressions of faith, there's room here for your story, as together we explore and join in with God's story. So 'come as you are,. Bring your dreams, your doubts, your voice. Let's journey together in grace, love, justice and hope. You are welcome. You are wanted. You belong. Radical Welcome and Belonging So this past year has been a busy one but a wonderfully enjoyable one, welcoming all sorts of folk into the church, whether that be for a fleeting visit at a baptism, a funeral or a wedding or to a fun filled summer garden party, or a packed out Carol Service, whatever we have done, whoever has arrived at our threshold, we have welcomed all with the sense thatthis beautiful old building is here for all and has been for many centuries. Some have returned and begun to sense the warmth of our welcome more regularly and are building that sense of belonging. We have seen some older couples joining us who find the Parish Church service fits them well at this stage in their lives and we've helped to make them feel loved and valued. Friends from the Canford Wine Circle have joined us on Sundays and have benefited from the Alpha Course. Funerals ministry has helped many folk this year say goodbye to their loved ones in a warm and sensitive way that has brought with it a great sense of the Christian hope through the resurrection of Christ. 23 funeral services in the past 12mnths at the Parish church. We are of course not confined tojust the church building, the CMC has also welcomed in many, Breakfast@9 has had a great year of being a church that is open to all who might find regular church a step too much and feedback has suggested
that we provide a space that is great for families with children who have SEND. More leaders stepping up this year from our families including our youngsters, many of whom attend the wonderful Refuge Youth Group on a Wednesday evening. A huge thanks to the team who have helped hold all this together over these past 18 months. Growth in Faith through Worship and Shared Journey We looked at whole life worship over Lent last year and it was a great time of togetherne55 as we all met on Tuesday Evenings and Thursday Mornings to do our study. We studied Journey/Pilgrimage over the summer with some fantastic film evenings enjoyed by many, looking together at life as a journey on Sundays, recognising that we all face the hills and the valleys, the joys and the suffering and that together we can help carry one another. We've made space for quiet contemplation, understanding 'worship' in its broadest sense, embracing a variety of ways to seek, encounter and serve God together. It's been such a joy to see so many new folk, young and old, getknng involved in leading our sung worship. We continue to journey with our many mission partners and this year we were made aware that the Dufatanye mission in Rwanda were in need of a larger school building. Andrew Corke pulled on his Skis and raised over £11,000 pounds by skiing the height of Everest and the length of a marathon in one day. Wonderful! Thankyou Lord for those generous gifts! Living Out Love, Grace, Justice and Hope Everything we do is rooted in the teachings and incarnational ministry of Jesus. We seek to embody love, grace, justice, and hope in our actions and relationships, allowing these values to guide us as we serve one another, our communities and the wider world. Our visits to Magna Care have produced so much fruit this year, some wonderful relationships being built among a wonderful group of people who are living out their later years together. Our Holy communion services have bought so much comfort to their lives, with faith renewed in many of them. Stories of hope shared to help lift them above their present circumstances, encouragements given to help them to pray for each other regularly. We said our farewells to dear 'Raffle Roy, recently, hi5 last few years bought alive by finding the hope of Jesus. My report last year spoke of us becoming c105er and being able to discuss some of the things that could easily divide us. This year, that was put to the test. I felt strongly about not remaining a silent voice around what was happening in Israel and Gaza and the concerns that l and others shared about the displacement of Palestinians in the occupied territories. We were blessed to be able to welcome 10
Nick Papadopoulos the Dean of Salisbury Cathedral to come along and to share what he himself had witnessed whilst working with the UN during his sabbatical. Nick spoke well and avoided anything controversial or theologically divisive and on the whole many people were very thankful for his Vlsit, although some did find the evening very difficult and made theirfeelings known. I had a couple of very hard conversations with some in the following weeks, but we have managed to chat things through in a civil manner. Embracing Tradition and Fresh Expression This site has been a place of prayer for over 1000 years. We honour the rich history and enduring traditions of the Church while also exploring new expressions of faith. By blending ancient practices with contemporary relevance, we aspire to make our worship and community life speak meaningfully to people wherever they are on their faith journey and into the culture of today. At Lent and at Advent we held one off quiet contemplative services with some contemporary music, these services helped to create a space for folk to listen carefully to God, to allow the spirit to speak to us, a valuable and precious time was enjoyed, with a wonderful time of fellowship in the Rectory following the Advent service. Wild church created a wonderful space for creativity at Christmas, with a beautiful reflective moment together around the fire as we heard a story about an angel that gave the good news to the shepherds. Beautiful woodland angels were created from, logs their wings woven from reed. Pastor Carbonara, has paid a few visits this year, bringing his unique sense of Italian love and flair to both our congregations, helping our younger folk to understand some of our well-known bible stories.

St BARNABAS CHURCH REPORT 'Not to us Lord, not to us, but to your name be the Glory, Psalm 115 Overview During the last year St Barnabas has continued to 'build bridges, into the community developing relationships and trust, which is bearing fruit in the favour and visibility St Barnabas is gaining within Bearwood. There have been a number of staff changes, including the stepping down of the Team Vicar, for personal reasons, resulting in the church entering an Interregnum {further details below). In everything, St Barnabas trusts the Lord, and we have seen his hand in the ministry and mission of St Barnabas this year, bringing much encouragement, and so we declare the verse above from Psalm 115. Teaching Our teaching series over the year have included: St John's Gospel, 'From Fisherman to Fisher of Men, (Following the discipleship of the Apostle Peter). A study of the Letter of James and during the autumn we followed the Lectionary readings. St Barnabas hosted an advent course 'Reviving Advent, Reclaiming Christmas, during which we reflected on, and compared, the Nativity and our hope in Jesus, Second Coming. St Barnabas is forever grateful to the retired clergy within the parish who regularly visit to teach and support our Sunday worship. 'Thank you, to them. Mission and Ministry Over the last few years St Barnabas has focused ministry and mission locally on engaging with Bearwood, building friendship and trust with our community. Outreach has included a monthly Craft Group, Ladies Lunch, Golden Classics Film Club, a Hope Explored Course, Youth Club, Community Christmas Lunch and the Children and Families ministry. In addition, Café Church a monthly Sunday service provides an informal, accessible and crafty creative approach to worship. Several new families who attended Café Church now attend church on a 'regular' Sunday. Encounter is a monthly evening service which began 18 months ago. A quiet open space with no agenda or formal liturgy but a moment within which to dwell with God. This has become a precious time for a small number of church members, and it is hoped this will continue through the interregnum. Bearwood Village Fete is going from strength to strength each year. The fete is hosted by St Barnabas in partnership with the Bearwood Community Centre and aims to bring the community together giving it a sense of identity and belonging as well as enabling St Barnabas to build relationships and share the good news of Jesus. This year, amongst craft stalls, Bake Off Competitions, music, raffles, a visit by the Local Fire Brigade, Splat the Rat and 12
Sumo Wrestling there was a wonderful sense of joy, fun and increased attendance. The vision is to continue to grow the event, aiming to stage it on Lionheart Fields, and develop a community group who will organize and fund it in the future. Christmas Events Of particular note is the encouraging engagement by local families with our Community Carol Service, supported be the growing Primary School Choir, and the Christingle Service hosted on Christmas Eve for the first time which was attended by ninety adults and children; churched and unchurched families double the number of people the previous year. New Housing Development The new houses in Canford Vale, on the other side of the Magna Road, are being built at a rapid pace. To date St Barnabas has not proactively engaged with this opportunity for good reasons such as the lack of available hands and feet. However, there is a wonderful Kingdom opportunity to pick up in the future. Mission Partners This year has witnessed a significant shift in our engagement with our Mission Partners, increasing theirvisibility within the church. A new Church Mission Team ha5 been established to nurture our relationships and to promote the work of mission partners within the church. We hosted our first 'Mission Sunday, attended by several of our partners who were able to share testimonies. We also welcomed a new partner 'LunchBowl' {The Lunchbowl Network - Donate) which supports young children in the Kibera Slums of Nairobi in Kenya. We also now set aside one Sunday a month to specifically pray for our mission partners. Children and Families Seedlings Baby & Toddler group is thriving and welcomes over forty children each week. Due to high demand, Seedlings now runs two sessions each week (during term-timel. Many parents and carer5 who have met via Seedlings have fed back that they have made lasting relationships and that the group has made a positive impact on their early experiences of parenthood and beyond. Roots & Shoots baby group launched in February for parents and carers with St non-walking babies. This group was created to support parents who found Seedlings overwhelming and needed a smaller group for gentle play, and to meet other new mothers. Maternity leave and life with a newborn or young baby can be lonely and isolating, and we have witnessed the positive impact of Roots & Shoots over the past year. Bearwood Primary & Nursery School: Our work in school continues, with Open the Book Assembly and supporting assemblies led by PACE. The Children's Worker also spends time in school each week to hear children read. Bearwood School 13
enjoyed coming to church for two days before Easter for 'Experience Easter,, where they explored the Easter Story through different 'Experience Stations,. They also visited for Harvest Festival Assembly. Drop Ins / Seasonal Festivals: We host morning 'drop-ins' during the school holidays and festival times (Hot Chocolate Drop In, Craft Drop In, and Easter Gardens). Over seasonal festivals we have provided other events to engage families including 'Where's Jesus,, a play on 'Where's Wally, for which small figures of Jesus were hidden around Bearwood. Children and families searched for Jesus and could bring their 'treasure' to the church to claim an Easter egg. Wonderful to have children coming into church to claim an easter egg declaring'l've found Jesusl, Other events this year have included a Light Party and film afternoons. All these events are building new relationship with local families, but it takes time. St. Barnabas Church Youth Project In 2025 the project has continued to host the Friday Night Youth Club 'Xtreme', at the Community Youth Centre. We have 2 sessions running: Juniors, for school years 7 & 8 and Seniors, for yr 9+. Withll leaders and helpers for the first session and 5 for the senior session - all have DBS training where appropriate. In the past year new things have been tried like sushi making and henna tattoos for our 'lndian night,. We are looking forward to inviting school year 6 to join the junior session from February 2026. U2N2 meet alternate Sundays in the church for discussion, games and activities with a Christian theme/message. This term we will be looking at 'Vox' the youth version of 'Christianity Explored,. In August 2025, 13 leaders and young people went to the 'Satellites' youth camp, a fabulous time had by all. Staffing We had a change in administration stsff at the end of 2025, as Rachael Jouan stepped down and Abbie Shoosmith joined us in January 2026. Finances Once again, we thank God for his provision in all its many ways, but particularly with regards to finance. Thanks must go to the generosity of members of the church who once again have displayed great faith in this area. This year the church had a year- end deficit, though smaller than expected, and a deficit is budgeted again for 2026. General operating costs for the church have remained generally level over recent years, but the increase in Fairer Share is particularly putting pressure on church finances. St Barnabas recognises that this needs to change over the next year or so with the available reserves being reduced to around £34,000 at the year end of 2025. What is more vulnerable is the funding of the Children and Families Staff role for which known grant funding ends at the end of 2026. The Joseph Rank Trust and the Aldhelms Mission Fund have generously given a combination of £17,500 a year 14
for 3 years towards this role, with the remainder raised by St Barnabas. For this role to continue, St Barnabas will need to raise over £30,000 a year as of 2027. This ministry role is seen as vital to the ongoing fruitful mission and ministry in St Bearwood. The subcommittee have allocated the work to apply for grants to a team. Interregnum Due to personal reasons Revd. Peter Myres reluctantly made the decision to step away from Parish Ministry. With support from Revd. Mike Tufnell and Bishop of Sherbourne it was agreed that Peter would finish at the end of January 2026. Resultantly as the reporting year ends, St Barnabas has entered an Interregnum and is in the process of preparing a Parish Profile before recruiting a new team vicar. The Subcommittee and the Core Leadership Team are leading the weekly ministry during this time supported by the parish more widely. At Peter's final Sunday, where he expressed his sincere gratitude and thanks to St Barnabas and the parish more widely for their love, support and encouragement during his time in post, he reminded St Barnabas to continue to pursue a 'Caleb Spirit, Being confident in God, Confident in who we are in Christ, and to have a sense of adventure. He also challenged the church to maintain the momentum St Barnabas has gathered over recent years in being outward looking and community focussed and to maintain their core value of offering an 'unconditional welcome, to all who come seeking Jesus, a golden thread within the DNA of St Barnabas. Revd Peter Myres St Barnabas Church 15
THE LANTERN CHURCH Vision.. A family of God sharing his heart to reach the10st, grow thefound and transform our communities. Teach me your way, Lord, thut I moy rely on yourfoithfulne55,' give me an undivided heart, that I mayfeor your nome." Psalm 86.'11, NIV What a year to give thanks for12025 has been one of the most encouraging and faith-filled years I can remember in ministry here at the Lantern. As we reflect on all God's goodness, we should be overwhelmed with gratitude - and equally aware that the best is yet to come. The momentum of new people arriving at church and coming to faith has not let up. We now have two midweek groups from the last couple of years, full of Alpha course 'graduates', and followers of Jesus. We are encouraged by frequent signs of people far from faith wanting to explore Jesus and the Bible as they search for hope and purpose in our world. Testimonies are being shared regularly in our Sunday services, friends are inviting friends, teenagers bringing their parents along, with other members of the family following. It would only be honest to also reflect that some have had a tough time personally in the last year, and so reflecting on gospel hope has been a theme, and I'm always moved by examples of the love and care shown to one another in the church community, and the support of our Pastoral Care Team. So, we have seen battles and blessings- we worship Jesus in all circumstances and must remain spiritually hungry, prayerful and put on the full armour of Christ. Midweek groups and prayer: 'Engines Out, Sails Up, Listening to feedback on the last three years, we reset our midweek groups with a model to incorporate Growth Groups, Community Groups and Equip Groups. We hope these will encourage all of us to connect more deeply, grow in our apprenticeship of Jesus and reach out to our community. Throughout the year we have felt a deepening sense of calling to prayer and dependence on the Holy Spirit. The phrase 'engines out, sails up, has become something of a watchword for us. Rather than relying on our own programmes and energy to direct us, we are seeking to be more fully led and empowered by God. This has shaped our Sunday morning times of gathered prayer, our midweek rhythms of prayer, worship and fasting. At the start of 2026 we will be exploring our church values and how they form the culture for our vision to become reality- including that emphasis on being increasingly a people of prayer, dependent on the Holy Spirit. 16
Raising Generations: Kids, Youth and Families Our kids and youth ministries continue to be a fruitful area of church life. Paula and her incredible youth team now strengthened by Jack Shannon, who joined as Assistant Youth Pastor in August are doing a remarkable job. Jack brings energy, a passion for teaching the Bible and a wonderful heart for young people, and we are so grateful for his appointment after a competitive process. Our Tuesday night youth group and monthly Friday youth clubs continue to provide safe, welcoming spaces for community young people to belong, to have fun, and to find faith in Jesus, and deepen their Christian walk. Ruth, our beloved Kids and Families Pastor, stepped down from her role in July 2025 after fifteen wonderful years of faithful, fruitful service. We celebrated her at a special Sunday service and are deeply grateful for everything she has poured into the children and families of this church and wider community- she leaves an immeasurable and eternal legacy. Alex Morris, Ruth's trusted Ip/t} assistant has provided invaluable continuity, and after an extended period of reflection and prayer- supported by amazing volunteers again we are delighted she has agreed to step up to a (nearly) full time role as our new Kids and Families Pastor. Seniing All Ages: Seniors and Community Outreach It is one of the great joys of this church that we seek to serve people at every stage of life. Mixed Blessings continues to bring friendship, warmth and the love of Jesus to many of the seniors in our parish week by week. Midweek communion also. And the Shine Network - led so faithfully by Tony and Roz Hanson - has continued its innovative Famous Lives outreach, drawing many non-churchgoers into conversations about faith through the stories of Christians like William Wilberforce, Gladys Aylward and Eric Liddell. And we've seen people in those latter years come to new faith in Jesus through that and our latest Alpha course. Schools Ministry We continue to be so grateful for Skittles, our detached schools chaplain, whose work in five local schools goes from strength to strength. Through chaplaincy, assemblies, Christian Unions, youth clubs, skateboarding and Bible Studies, he gets alongside young people who are often struggling and offers the presence and love of Jesus in a very practical way- and gives away a Bible to them whenever he can too! He is also a huge support to local teachers. What a gift he is to this community. New Wine and other mission partners We continue to be blessed, and a blessing to others in the New Wine network, supporting local church leaders through Hub gatherings and Team days, as well as partnering with other local churches for New Wine Celebration evenings, seeking to 17
keep the spiritual temperature up and connect local believers. The summer NW Festival at Shepton Mallet was a joy for those able to attend and the Leadership Network, including annual conference continues to enrich our church family and staff team. We support mission partners across the world - from Japan and India to Kenya, Serbia and Romania. It is a joy to see how the generosity of this church family is helping to share the gospel: reaching people in Japan, marginalised communities in India, Roma communities in Eastern Europe, couples through Marriage Week International, the Maasai in Kenya, and those experiencing homelessness in Poole. Because we partner in this work, each of these lives has encountered something of the gospel of Christ over the past year New Associate Minister for The Lantern Church After many months of hopes, prayers and planning the Lantern Sub Committee decided, with the encouragement of the Diocese, to pursue the emp5oyment of an ordained Associate Minister to support the growing work here at The Lantern. We were overwhelmed by the support of the church family and the Lord's generosity, shown through a significant rise in regular giving that will fund the role and, with further generosity, help us purchase a long-term ministry house for the Associate. Following a successful application process, Rev'd Will Burditt has been appointed to the role and has now joined the staff team las of Feb 20261 following his curacy at nearby Blandford Parish Church. We are excited to see what God has in store for Will and his family here and hope to be a blessing to them as they undoubtedly will be to us and our community. Looking Ahead: 50 Years of the Lantern 2026 marks a truly significant milestone the 50th anniversary of the Lantern opening its doors. We plan to celebrate in style: a special birthday service on Sunday 17th May, followed by a community outreach weekend from 23rd-25th May, where we plan to bless the neighbourhood with a community lunch, car washing and more, in collaboration with our local community. We are also planning a church weekend away at Castle Court from 17th-19th July, with John McGinley as our guest speaker, helping us to envision the next fifty years together. What an opportunity to give thanks, celebrate stories and seek God for what lies ahead. With Gratitude I rejoice in being part of this church family and our exceptional staff team. Special thanks to my wardens Bex Huntingford and Peter Owen, and perhaps a shout out for our treasurer Steve Dean as well, who has had a LOT (extra) to do this year and done it all so cheerfully and faithfully. l am so grateful for the whole church, 18
everyone is a beloved part of this family of God, playingtheir part in our shared life together. To God be the glory. As we look to the year ahead - 50 years of the Lantern, a new Associate Minister, a weekend away to look forward to and much more besides - let us do so with faith, perseverance, joy, and above all, deep love for Jesus and for one another. Rev Mike Tufnell The Lantern Church MISSION REPORT Our three churches continue to tithe their income and give additional offerings to support mission work locally, nationally, and internationally. In the past year, a total of £108,412 was distributed to mission organisation5 and individuals an increase of £22,000 compared to 2024. In July, the main Mission Account was closed, and the remaining funds were divided among the three churches to share amongst mission partners. Each church is now responsible for transferring its own tithes to the relevant partners. We have added a couple of new charities to our Category A giving: New Wine and Skittles Shanks, a detached youth worker based at the Lantern Church; while sadly losing Poole Missionary Communities, which has now closed. 19
Although working a5 three separate churches has presented some challenges, the arrangement is now running smoothly and effectively with three individual mission groups, but who meet termly. Sharon Ramond Mission Treasurer TEAM REcfoR'S REPORT Once again, I find myself deeply encouraged by what God is doing across Canford Magna parish. No words can do justice to the faithful, often unseen service of so many - but I've tried to highlight some of the significant moments here, with the individual church reports filling in further detail. St Barnabas It would be impossible to begin anywhere other than with a heartfelt tribute to Peter Myres, who has now stepped down from his role as vicar at St Barnabas after nearly four years of faithful ministry. Peter has been a great friend and a faithful colleague. He is great fun, has brought enormous gifts of pastoral warmth, missional creativity and theological depth. He and his ministry there will not be forgotten, and he leave5 the church healthy and hopeful for the future. He has forged deeper relationship with Bearwood primary and other community connections through creative outreach - who'll forget the hundreds of mini-jesus figures they distributed around the community at Easter- bringing new people to St Barnabas as they returned them for a prize!? And of course, through the pioneering and courageous appointment of Hannah as their Children & Families Worker, St Barnabas is growing younger and more diverse. We pray for the Myres family with deep gratitude and real affection as they move into their next chapter, and we hold St Barnabas in prayer as we navigate this season of interregnum together. l also want to particularly encourage Hannah Tarring and Lol Scott-Farnell, whose work to grow the seeds of the gospel in the children, young people and families of Bearwood is inspiring. Every time I visit, I rejoice at the growth I see amongst the younger generations within the life of the church. Canford Magna Parish Church At the Parish Church, Matt and Lisa continue to lead with extraordinary creativity, pastoral care and evangelistic energy. The church has seen quite a number of their members 'promoted to glory, in the last year, but they also continue to See new members amongst all ages and in their service5 offer something unique and complimentary to what is offered in the wider parish. I want to pay tribute to all those who have stepped up to ensure that Breakfast@9, the toddler group and new youth are flourishing, desplte the absence of the loved and greatly missed Sharon 20
Cooksley. We pray forthem as they seek a part-time Children and Families Missioner in the year ahead. There is great gospel opportunity ahead for the Parish Church, with new housing on the Parish Church's doorstep and I know Matt and Lisa have been encouraged in their early efforts to reach out to that developing community. The church have recently applied for some CIL funding to develop their facilities to enable them to be even more effective in their hospitality and mission. Last but not least, we should all be hugely grateful for Carrie, faithful, diligent and so capable as their administrator and helping with wider parish Diocesan reporting. The Lantern l encourage you to read The Lantern's own annual report for the full picture of all God has been doing there, but I want to highlight a few things here with relation to the staff team. The licensing of Will Burditt as Associate Minister in February 2026 is an answer to years of prayer and planning, and his appointment at the end of 2025 marks an exciting new chapterfor the church. In our Kids and Families ministry, we gave thanks in 2025 for Ruth Grist's fifteen years of wonderful, fruitful service in leading that ministry. And give thanks for Alex Morris, Ruth's assistant for a couple of years, stepping up in responsibility and providing continuity, but bringing her own personality to the role. And we are delighted that Jack Shannon has joined Paula's team as Assistant Youth Pastor - his appointment feels timely and Spirit-led, and we look forward to seeing the youth ministry go from strength to strength under theirjoint leadership. In closing... Financially, 2025 has been a year of encouragement and faith rewarded, but we must remain prayerful as we look forward. The parish {as a whole) closed the year with a surplus of around £68,000, but faith is required with resources to be stretched even further in 2026. We pray we can sustainably resource what God is calling us to within the parish and continuing to pay our growing Diocesan share request. The forthcoming year also marks a very special milestone: the 50th anniversary of the Lantern opening its doors in 1976. As a parish family, we will celebrate this - giving thanks for fifty years of God's faithfulness and asking God to envision us afresh for the next fifty. Whether you serve coffee or children, lead a discipleship group or stack chairs, preach occasionally or pray quietly at home, give financially or simply show up faithfully week by week - you are indispensable. You are the Church. Thank you, Rev Mike Tufnell 21
