Haxby & Wigginton Methodist Church seeks to be a beacon in the local community for faith in Jesus Christ and love and service to all.
Introduction
The people of Haxby & Wigginton Methodist Church are gathered by God into a community of love and service as they share the good news of Jesus Christ.

The Minister Church Council Church Stewards Pastoral Committee Finance & Property Committee Safeguarding
The Church Council CPD SO 603
Purpose
The Church Council has the authority and oversight over the whole area of the ministry and mission of the Church. Aims and methods, the determination and pursuit of policy, and the deployment of available resources are its proper responsibility.
The Church Council should meet not less than twice per year, at such dates as are most appropriate to the ongoing life of the Church, and its relationship with its committees and the Circuit. The Church Council acts as Managing Trustees of the local property and are registered with the Charity Commission. If any legal matter arises, then only those members of the Council who are of the age 18 are eligible to be
Trustees and are allowed to vote.
The Church Council will appoint annually all Church Officers as determined from time to time by the Council whether on the nomination of a committee or otherwise; all such appointments being for the year commencing 1 May, apart from the Church Treasurer, whose appointment will commence on 1 September. The Council will also appoint the committees of the Church, again as from 1 May each year.
Work of God in the past year
The Church Council met on four occasions during this period (face to face) which has facilitated engaging conversations on the life and direction of our church. The building is fully open and is being used for both church groups and private use. Activity is steadily increasing, and we have welcomed a number of new groups who now meet on a regular basis.
The Church Council thanks our minister Rory Dalgliesh for his pastoral care and thought-provoking leadership as we continue to move forward under his guidance. We spent time working on the future of our church and community, spending our meetings talking, thinking and praying.
The role of Church Treasurer continues successfully and together with the Finance Working Group, they undertake the financial duties, responsibilities and accountabilities of the church. This is working very well so far in terms of process. Our financial situation remains challenging, and work has been done to rationalize the number of accounts that we have and to make sure that the full congregation is aware of the current financial status.
The Church Council is grateful to the Property and Finance Committee’s for the work that they undertake to keep our building safe and open.The Church Council recognises the need for a Property Steward(s) and steps are being taken to achieve this. The Church Council also acknowledged that there are a small number of volunteers that contribute to the various groups and activities that make up our Church Life and that it would be good to have more people involved across the provision.
Our AGM was held on the 14[th ] July in conjunction with the monthly Church Breakfast and was well attended. The format worked well, as it did last year.
As the Managing Trustees, we have legal responsibilities which have been carried out and we have supported the work of the committees where necessary. The members of the Church Council wish to thank everyone who has contributed in any way to the Life, Mission and Worship of the church.
Katie Roberts - Church Administrator
The Minister’s Report
The year is the eighth full year of my ministry here, and I remain deeply grateful to be working here, and for us to be so very much at home here as a family. During the year I have also taken charge of Holgate Methodist Church, and reduced my hours to 80% FTE while studying for a part-time MA.
Our church activities remain reduced, and many people’s individual capacities are also reduced. We continued to use the internet as one of the ways in which our community remains connected.
Lorraine Jones continued her employment by the York Circuit until September 2024 at least, working in Haxby as a Local Pastor. Her role continues to primarily be family and children’s work, often exercised outside of our building, though she has led much of the work towards our response to the climate crisis as well.
Sarah Tiffany continued as our church administrator for 10 hours per week during the year being reported, but has since been replaced after she gave notice.
Our worshiping patterns remain one service at 10am on a Sunday, with our “traditional” worship on Wednesdays at 10am. We continue to think carefully about how best to provide practical support and musical accompaniment for the services that we have.
This has been a difficult year with deaths, and with serious illness and diagnoses. These have taken their toll on the community as we work out who we are and what we’re about now. We are revisiting our sense of vision for our life in the wider community, and continue to be grateful for our modern and flexible building, though the vision for the last renovation and our creative use of it remain works in progress. I am grateful to all who pitch in to help our life be as good as it is, even if it still does and perhaps always will feel like the various loads could be shared out more.
Rev. Rory Dalgliesh – Minister
Church Stewards Report
Purpose CPD SO 634
The Church Stewards are corporately responsible, together with the Minister, for giving leadership and help over the whole range of the life and activity of the Church.
The role of the Church Stewards is to serve the mission and ministries of the Church with prayer, creativity and vision.
By their service and example, they guide, encourage and support individuals and other groups within the Church.
The Church Stewards will implement decisions made by the Church Council, and act between meetings of the Church Council in respect of all matters that are not under the purview of any of the Church committees.
In all instances, however, the Church Stewards will remain accountable to the Church Council. The Church Stewards will, by mutual consent, ensure that at least one of its members is a representative on every Church Committee.
Church Stewards will be elected by the General Church Meeting to serve a rotating 4-year term. Insofar as is possible, Church Stewards should accurately reflect the diversity of the congregation with respect to age, gender and race. However, as the appointment of Church Steward gives a seat on the Pastoral Committee Church Stewards must be at least 18 years of age.
Work of God in the past year
The Sunday and Wednesday services continue to have a regular attendance often including new visitors and a small number of regular young people attending on a Sunday. The stewards appreciate the support of those who assist in helping facilitate worship.
We feel that we are a very welcoming church and we hope that, as we learn more about what it means to be inclusive, that we are seen as welcoming to all. Coffee and chat after our services continues to be really important, as it is an opportunity for us to talk and get to know each other better, another chance to tell "our stories" if we want to.
Working alongside Rory and Lorraine we facilitated a "Staycation" day in June 2024 with space to reflect on the future of our Church and what God is putting on the hearts of the congregation. This included a number of activities including hearing from Leslie Newton, praying, reflecting and talking about the life of our church as we look ahead, thinking about our mission both within our church building and in the wider community.
The Stewarding team has increased to four and are working well together, including meeting regularly with Rory and Lorraine. Any important issues are taken to the Church Council, so we always like to hear thoughts, ideas and concerns from the church family, so please do talk to us any time.
We pray that we move forward as a church family with God as our guide and we pray for new initiatives and new beginnings.
Jacqui Tankard
A Vision for Families
Having a church where families are welcomed, embraced and nurtured by the whole church family. Where they are given opportunities to worship and encounter God in a way that is meaningful and relevant to them, and which will promote a lifelong relationship with Jesus Christ.
To support families as they seek to build strong relationships and a positive home life. To help them navigate their way through life’s seasons and encourage faith in the family. To have solid relationships with the wider community in order to promote family life.
Report of the Local Pastor and Family Ministry Coordinator
An inflatable pink flamingo. I think that has been one of the highlights of this past year. Well, that and a few other things that surprised people. I love it when the church surprises people. This June, the leadership team hosted a Church ‘Staycation’ day, allowing us to take time out of our busy lives to focus on the future of the church. What might it look like in 2030…? It was inspiring and helpful to have Leslie Newton, Rory and others lead us through that day and to guide us in thinking about what hopes and dreams we have for our church and our community. To help people think about that, a couple of us decorated the shelves in the Sanctuary, picking out various themes. There were items that represented equality and diversity, ecology, hospitality, community, peace, creativity (hence the flamingo!), and a learning church. The eighth shelf was deliberately left blank with the idea being that this was the future – ‘what next?’ or ‘what else..?’ A wide variety of people have come into the church since we decided to keep up the shelves and it has surprised people; they have taken photos and been pleased when they realise that all of these values are important to us.
How can we build on this? How can we help our community to understand that we wrestle with the same big questions? And realise that the values they have are the same as our own? How can we offer a warm invitation to explore these things together..? How can we continue to surprise people?
The minister, stewards, church council and myself have started to think about this deeply. How can we build on the work of ‘opening new doors’, which really only got started just before lockdown hit. How can we open the building up and offer to our community ‘Life in all its fullness’. What would that mean in terms of what we offer, how we decorate the building, how we use our space…?
I look forward to exploring that with you all.
For now, please find a summary below of ‘what I have been up to’ in the last year.
Young Church
This continues to be a joy and a challenge. Numbers are low, usually below 6, but it is always a privilege to spend time with the young people of our church. I never fail to be amazed by their insights, their humour and their capacity for eating biscuits. This year we have developed the work of the ‘Storyteller Chronicles’ church magazine, as a way of encouraging the young people to get to know what else happens in the church and the other members of the church. It’s also a way for groups or church members to tell their story. We have a resident storyteller and joke teller and interviewing journalists! It seems to be well received by the church and also goes into Aroma.
Along with the other leaders, I continue to worry about the future of Young Church; in many ways it feels like we are limping on. But I know those who are there value the time together enormously. We keep praying and thinking and trying to discern the future of Young Church as part of the future of the church as a whole. Young people in the community are no less curious or spiritual or passionate about justice than they ever were, but they engage differently. What does this mean for us going forward?
Uniform Event and other social action
This ecumenical partnership and partnership with the community has been a real success. This is the 4[th] time it has run and now seems to be part of the parent’s school year. There were people queuing around the corner and down the street waiting for it to open. For 2024, we partnered with RAY (refugee action York) to provide uniform for children new to the area. I am also in contact with some other schools in the York area to work together and share resources.
For the coming year we plan to build on this and to work on a ‘toy bank’. When collecting for the Haxby Foodshare and Salvation Army in November, we always end up with lots of good quality second hand items which the SA can’t take. It may be worth simply offering these toys to the community as a way of saving a penny or two and reducing waste.
Open the Book
Our ecumenical team have been back into schools – we now cover 4 schools including the Forest of Galtres Anglican/Methodist School in Shipton by Beningborough. The team is very committed and continues to be a blessing to the schools (and has enormous fun into the bargain). We have enough members to alternate weeks in school, so we easily cover holidays and absences. Of all of the things in the life of the Church that we scratch our head over, this is one of the few ‘no brainers’. It just makes sense on so many levels. We build relationships with the schools, it is easy to do, we bring the love of God to the children and teachers every other week, the team love it and the schools love it. Win win win! Part of my head scratching now is about how we can build on this success to offer ‘stepping stones to faith’ for the children and their families.
Again, partnering with other churches, we have introduced ‘Oasis’ reflection spaces into Wigginton school. Just once every term (3 times a year) we give them outside ‘stations’ to access, exploring things like emotions or the senses in a way that gives the children a chance to breathe and reflect in their busy day. It has been very much appreciated.
Worship
One of the key areas of focus that came out the ‘Staycation’ day was about the longing for meaningful worship. Worship, of course, means different things to different people and ensuring that worship offers a way to connect with God in a variety of ways is worthwhile, but takes a lot of creativity and time. There is a small group of people who are willing to invest a bit of time on a 6-weekly or quarterly basis, to explore creative ways to worship. It requires careful balance; honouring the traditions while respecting the fact that many others find meaning in a different way.
Last December, one of the members of the church approached me with a proposal about offering a ‘Take Time Meditation’ for Advent. We agreed to give it a try and it was so well received that we decided to offer it once a month. Very quickly, I came to appreciate that this was ‘Church’. 10 or so people attend regularly and appreciate the connection to Jesus they experience, as well as the fellowship.
Part of my role has been to help coordinate special times in the church's life to happen – eg Advent and Lent. I have also organised the Community Nativity, which is always a joy to host and a lot of fun for everyone involved. My role also continues to work with Baptism families and, with Rory, to make them and their family feel welcome on their child’s special day.
I also coordinate Breakfast Church, which continues to be appreciated by many. The young people enjoy it as a way to get to know people and talk about important things in life, as do the rest of us!
It has also been a privilege to see and encourage young people taking an active role in the services too, whether reading, communion, creating puppet videos or singing!
Pastoral Support
While it is the privilege and joy of the whole church to support each other pastorally, sometimes extra support or co-ordinating is required. This involves working with the pastoral secretary, Rory and others in
occasional visits, cards, flowers, calls, texts and chats. We continue to scratch our heads about the best way forward for the Church to support each other pastorally, given that the former system of pastoral visitors is no longer viable for all, though still happens in pockets and is very much valued. I also assist in organising house groups and supporting house group leaders. This continues to be a valued source of support and faith development in our church.
Administration
I also work with the Safeguarding Lead and with Katie, our Office Admin in co-ordinating and organising our important records.
Eco Church
This group is doing well and has been working hard to run an ‘Eco Fair’ in September 24 as part of York Environment Weeks. People often feel helpless in face of Climate Change, so this Fair is designed to give them information, tools and ideas. As part of this, the Church will host a ‘repair café’ as a possible trial to run as an ongoing response to the climate emergency and modeling a more sustainable way of life.
The Eco Church team has also led worship, to encourage people to think differently about our relationship with God’s world.
As a key partner in the Whole Life Community Garden, it has been exciting to see the plans for this start to come to fruition. 4 out of 5 of the trustees are members of this church and see the garden as part of our response to caring for God’s world as well as caring for the community. It has been a hugely successful way of engaging with the community; the charity has many partners who provide support or practical items or finance. In supporting the Garden, through hosting events such as the seed/plant swap, the church is able to connect with our community and show our commitment to sustainability.
A group covering all areas of Eco church now meets monthly on zoom or in person to meet people from across York who are also working towards Eco Church. It is a thriving group. In so many ways we are all really quite tired and weary – this seems to be one of the few areas where the energy is. In terms of Local Pastor work – wherever the work involved building relationships, partnering with the community and bringing people together, that fits nicely within my role. The hours of reading, podcast listening, attending workshops and planting – that’s just because I love it and comes under my volunteering time.
Building Community
Partnering with people in the community has also been encouraging and comes with the realisation that we do not have to do everything ourselves; let’s support others where they are doing great work. For example, we have been able to support the Haxby Foodshare through Christmas and Harvest collections. There is also excellent work with our community going on elsewhere in the church; this will be covered by other voices in this report. This has been developed further with the community garden and the Eco fair.
Working with others
Much of my role is about relationship building – it is an enriching part of it too. I network with other lay staff and attend circuit meetings and churches together meetings. I have attended a ‘community organising’ conference and other webinars and conferences. I always find that ‘golden nugget’ each time – the helpful piece of information or a valued new contact or conversation that I can bring back to my role.
It has been a privilege and a joy to work with the other staff and stewards and church council as we try to navigate our way through the fog of uncertainty which is the future of the church we love. As always, I am blessed by the support and encouragement of the Church congregation.

Lunch Club
We have around 40 members who attend each week on a Thursday in term time and we do have some spaces waiting to welcome new friends.
We offer a light lunch of a choice of 3 soups with a selection of bread rolls to choose from and a choice of hot puddings and a cold one. Tea and coffee are always available, from £4.00 per person per week.
Our members arrive any time after 11am for coffee and a chat before lunch is served at 12 noon and are encouraged to stay and chat after the meal is finished.
If you or someone you know might be interested in giving us a try then please contact either Mary Metcalf, Sue Raybould, Helena Rigby or Marianna Watson. Email: lunchclub@hwmc.org.uk or drop a note to lunch club via the church letter box.
Volunteers are always welcome.

Monday Monkeys
Monday Monkeys continues to happen every Monday during term time, from 10 -11.30AM. We run totally on volunteers, 5 leaders who are there every week and a team of 8 refreshment servers who work in pairs on a rota. We are all connected to the Church and try to show God's love to everyone who comes, through our serving and actions. Our aim is to give children, aged 3 and under, a safe place to play alongside their peers while their parents or grandparents build relationships and support from local people. To enable this to happen we limit numbers to 30 families each week, unless it's Christmas or Easter when we use the Sanctuary space for singing and play so we have additional space.

Sunday @ 8
Sunday @ 8 are a group of young at heart middle agers who meet on the second Sunday of the month either in people's homes or in the Mountain Room depending on the activity. We enjoy a mixed programme including speakers, activities, walks and social events. This year we have enjoyed hearing from Sister Margaret Ann about her experiences as a Nun, David Morgan on the contrast of managing a hotel in New York with working for the National Trust in Old York and Sarah-Jane Uttley on her Guiding Adventures in Norway. Unfortunately our planned BBQ had to be cancelled due to a flooded garden, but we did manage a hot sunny day for our annual trip to Castle Howard. We enjoyed a table games evening and Safari Supper in October. A very varied and enjoyable programme. If you think you'd enjoy this group, keep your eye on the notices and come and join us, we'd love to see you.

– Safeguarding report year to 31/08/24
The Church Safeguarding Policy, and guidelines for those working with Children, and/or Vulnerable Adults were approved by the Church Council in April 2024. This is updated, checked and approved by the church council on a yearly basis. Safeguarding is on the agenda for every church council.
Safeguarding foundation and advanced training courses were held in person and online by the circuit and district, with a number of attendees from Haxby and Wigginton. I also attended a circuit safeguarding evening training/workshop.
Childline posters are on display throughout the building.
I have been working with the church Families worker and the church administrator on safeguarding issues, including new/renewal DBS checks. A shared database for all 3 people to access relevant information on DBS checks has been set up, with access to be arranged for the new church administrator.
