Catherine and Michael’s report on the first half of 2022
When we think about the first half of 2022 the word which springs to mind is ‘firefighting’. We were so short-staffed, and meeting so many challenges!
The first big challenge of 2022 was that Zoë left at the end of January 2022. There was a moving goodbye, and a lot of hard work trying to make sure that the Sunday Children’s Group and the Edge continued, given that we weren’t in a position to appoint a successor during the interregnum. Chris and Lucy revamped the Children’s Group as ‘Explorers’ and put together a programme, and huge thanks are due to them and the other leaders and helpers. Tali, our Youth for Christ volunteer, took over leadership of the Edge and stepped up wonderfully, and after a little while Bekki heroically stepped in to help her, providing much-needed continuity when Tali left just as Ruth arrived. Tali moved in with Chris and Eleanor in March, so Catherine succeeded Chris as her line manager, and Barbara became her mentor. We later explored the possibility of a YFC intern to replace Tali, but in the end this was not possible.
1
It became apparent that much of our safeguarding had become out of date during the pandemic, and also we needed to implement the new Safer Recruitment provisions. Catherine and Alan put a lot of hours into this, with a lot of help from the Diocese, and from many of you. We did get back up to date, and one of the more enjoyable aspects of this was an in-person Safeguarding course held in the Church Centre—yes, really!
Meanwhile the Café was going astonishingly well, at great cost to Barry who was rushed off his feet, and the Café Group spent a lot of time and energy exploring ways to support him. Alas, in the end he announced he was leaving in May to go to another post. Huge thanks were given to him for all he had done, and we wish him well in his new post and are glad that he is still a member of the congregation. However, his resignation left a big void for many people. It was impossible to reopen without him, and the café was hugely missed. We would like to take this opportunity to give a huge thank you to Jenny Eustace who for many years was café pastor, bringing her gentle sensitivity and experience to the service of many people.
Attempts were made to start a new group in the café space, but we were hampered by safeguarding requirements and lack of volunteers. A small group began on Fridays, building on the pre-existing Friday Friends, but it was only after Ruth came that this really flourished.
Caroline retired in June after fifteen and a half years as our administrator, and again many thanks are due to her. Again, we are delighted she is still around, and regularly attends the 8.30. This was easier to manage than the other transitions because she gave a lot more notice, but obviously her absence left even more to be done by those who were left!
Covid guidance was constantly under review during this period for the Sunday Service and the midweek activities, and huge thanks are due to many people for drafting and implementing this, especially Chris, Jane and Rosemary. Chris and Jane also had many other responsibilities as a result of being Churchwardens in an interregnum. We would also like to thank Alan, who in addition to all he does anyway, was line managing Rosemary during the interregnum.
Phil’s People continued through most of the half year, with a smaller but very committed clientele. David took over overall leadership of it, and initiated a monthly team meeting. Sue, a musician, joined our team, adding a new and important dimension.
Three home groups met during most of this period, either on Zoom or in person, plus the Saturday Morning Bible Discussion and the Wednesday prayer group on Zoom. An additional Saturday morning in-person prayer group met in church during the weeks before the interviews for Vicar. There was quiet care from many people towards fellow members of the congregation, both through Alongsiders and otherwise. David continued to visit Melbourne House regularly.
Which brings us to two very important features of the half year, which we have not yet mentioned. First, in February 2022 interviews were held for the post of Vicar, involving
2
a huge amount of work for the PCC and others, especially Bea and Chris our parish representatives, who organised the day and interviewed the candidates together with the Archdeacon and Graham Archer representing CPAS our Patron. After a surprisingly short time we received the very glad tidings that Ruth, whom many of us knew well, had been appointed. After that there was a much greater sense that the end was in sight and that Ruth was about to arrive on a white charger. In the weeks before she arrived, a lot of work was done planning her Institution Service, especially by Jane and Martin. And we can’t tell you how glad we were when that day came!
Michael was responsible for organising the services. As well as our home team, in 2022 we had memorable visits and support in celebrating Holy Communion and preaching from the following clergy: Bishop Dagmar, Bishop Graham Kings, and Rev’ds Ally Barrett, Sue Butler, Janet Glover, Peter Heslam, Richard Higginson, and Muthuraj Swamy, as well as Tim and Maggie Gaved from Wycliffe Bible Translators. Bekki did a brilliant job of coordinating the plans to Zoom the in-person Sunday Service, and making it happen—many thanks to her and those who helped in various ways. I know it has been greatly appreciated.
After six months of firefighting, thanks be to God for bringing us safely through the fire and into greener pastures. Now let’s remember that Ruth is doing much of what we were all doing and more, and try and take care of her!
Catherine Ievins and Michael Priestley
Ruth’s report on the second half of 2022
It was an absolute joy and delight to return ‘home’ to St Philip’s in July 2022 and what a lovely service of Installation was created to welcome me. A huge thank you to all of you who had a hand in creating the service and inviting all the guests as well as those who took part or served refreshments, your warm welcome was greatly appreciated. And as I begin a reflection on the second six months of 2022 it is in the recognition of the amazing work everyone did to hold St Philip’s through a turbulent interregnum. A huge thank you to Catherine Ievins and Michael Priestley who led ministerially but also Chris Illingworth and Jane Batten in their Church Warden capacity, every member of the PCC and all who stepped up to help keep things running and ensure St Philip’s stayed shining as a beacon of God’s light on Mill Road.
Edge Youth Group
It was very sad that my first Sunday was Tali’s last Sunday but a huge thank you to her for all the care she has taken of the young people at St Philip’s. I walked in to leading a group that felt like a small family, so supportive of each other and delighting in each other’s company. Edge is a credit to all her work. And a thank you to Bekki and Jane who have come on board to help keep Edge running. It is such an important space for
3
these young people and I am grateful that through Jane and Bekki’s help we have been able to keep that space open.
Cornerstone Café
It was also very sad that one of the first decisions we had to make as a PCC after my arrival was the closure of Cornerstone Café as a commercial café. This was due to the financial pressures and Barry (Café Manager) moving on. Cornerstone Café was a muchloved eatery, mainly for the welcome, hospitality and acceptance it gave. A huge credit to Barry and Jenny Eustace for creating this welcoming space. Thank you to both for your service and care for all those who came through the door. But this ending of a season enabled St Philip’s to reimagine the space as a community gathering space and (in God’s perfect timing!) enabled us to offer the café kitchen to Cambridge Sustainable Foods (CSF) as their kitchen base, from where they could cook Holiday Lunches and other meals for families who need help. This collaboration with CSF coincided with the national call for Warm Spaces to help people through the winter by providing warm environments for people who would be otherwise cold at home. These opportunities aligned perfectly with St Philip’s desire to be open and welcoming to the local community, particularly those in need. It was exciting to have the Mayor of Cambridge come to officially launch this collaboration and get us in the paper!
Warm Spaces
So began Warm Spaces on Wednesday and Friday mornings (also known as Wednesday and Friday Friends) for anyone and everyone in the community to drop in, have a cup of coffee, a piece of cake and enjoy some company. It has been great to see these times really take off and see friendships grow. Another blessing has been to see volunteers join us from the wider community, all passionate about caring for those suffering fuel poverty. Thank you to Rosie and Peter Wilson, Dodie Carter, Andrew, Bea Ridley, Claire Byrne and Alistair Barry for all their help hosting these spaces.
Phil’s People
Phil’s People has continued to provide a two-course meal for a reasonable price every month for anyone and everyone who wants to join us. Sadly, numbers dropped off since the pandemic, so we are down to a regular 16. But there is hope that our collaboration with CSF may expand the reach of Phil’s People once more. A huge thank you to Angela Collinson for expertly taking on the role of chef for those meals after the café closed and Barry was no longer able to cook for us and for the rest of the team for keeping the Phil’s People family together, David Brown, Catherine & Peter Ievins, Stella O’Keefe, Robin Nelson, Peter Andrews and Sue Greenhalgh.
A time of mourning
September marked a time of beginnings and endings for the country and our own small portion of it. The Queen’s death was a sad time of mourning but it was lovely to be able to open the church and offer a space for peace and quiet reflection, as indeed it was good to share our sadness, coming together to watch her funeral. These times of gathering as a community at significant moments underpin, for me, what it means to be a parish church and it is a privilege to be able to offer the resources we have for Romsey Town in this way.

St Philip’s School
But as one reign ended and another began in King Charles III, so we in Romsey were also preparing for the ending of one Headship at St Philip’s Primary School and the beginning of another. The contact we have with approximately 200 families through our local Primary School is a missional opportunity not to be ignored and so it was a privilege to be involved (and see God’s provision) in the appointment of Helen Coleman to follow on from Sally Allan as Headteacher there.
Since July I have been honoured to be invited into school on a twice weekly basis to lead Collective Worship and to get to know staff. The school also came to the church for Easter and Christmas services, as well as performing their School Nativity in the church. With God’s grace (and waiting on God’s perfect timing again!) there is hope that these links will grow to greater connection with families in Romsey Town and to see more families join our church family.
Eco Church and Explorers
A huge thank you to the faithful leaders of Explorers—Bea Ridley, Tatiana Santos, Lucy Sixsmith, Ros Legge, Eithne Brown, Celia Phipps and Daisy Rudge—who have such a heart for the children in our church, lovingly preparing sessions to excite and engage them in their faith. Sometimes there have been disappointments as we face weeks with no families but they are there ready again for the next session. And our Explorers have taken the lead in our drive to become an Eco Church by planting, tending and engaging with our neighbours to make a hedgehog highway so that our garden might become a sanctuary for wildlife. Massive thanks to Bea Ridley in particular for all the work to apply for Eco Church status. Thanks to her hard work and the vision of St Philip’s in the last decade we can proudly say we are a Bronze Eco Church—but we are not content—silver is our next goal.
Worship
In recognition of the hard, and difficult, work of the Explorers leaders I decided to explore an alternative provision for our families at St Philip’s and adapted the fortnightly All Age service so we gathered around tables and children stayed in throughout the service—the aim is for a truly all age service where everyone can engage and connect at the level, and in the style, which suits them.
We have also been able to have some very reflective style services, in particular the Advent Reflections were a wonderful way to begin the season, many thanks to Polly Macartney for writing those for us. The services we offer at St Philip’s and the homegroups and prayer groups are all the places which we are refreshed, inspired and transformed as followers of Jesus so that we are equipped to do the work that God calls us to do in order to spread the word and share the kingdom. So my huge thanks to all those who lead, preach, guide, sing, play, read and pray in whatever capacity. It is only when we are connected into the vine that we can flourish and bear fruit as God means for us to do, so for all those who enable our connections—thank you.

It was disappointing that we had to cope with the aftermath of having our door smashed in October, fortunately nothing was stolen but the empty till from the café, but we did have to live with a chipboard entrance to the church for several weeks but thanks to all who helped restore our more friendly glass frontage!
Mill Road Winter Fair
It was wonderful to be a part of the first Mill Road Winter fair for several years after Covid put a stop to the celebrations. We had hundreds of people through the door and were absolutely packed out when Sing! performed. What a joyful way to begin the Christmas celebrations. Thank you to everyone who emptied bins, served drinks, helped with craft, handed out gold coins and welcomed our community through our doors.
Mission Partners
I thank God that St Philip’s is so committed to partnering with other mission organisations to further the work of the Kingdom and it has been a joy to welcome one of our mission partners in each month to our Sunday service, to hear from them, encourage them and pray for them more specifically.
Melbourne House
In a very practical way we partner with Jimmy’s at Melbourne House. Here is a report from David Brown—a huge thank you to him for being such a constant support for the men we help there:
‘We currently have Vitalijs, Paul and Robert living in Melbourne House. We have known Vitalijs for the longest time and through him we are now making progress in our conversations with Paul and Robert.
Vitalijs is originally from Latvia and sometimes comes to Phil’s People where he is a great help in clearing up. We find best time to call is after church when a cup of tea/coffee round the table is mutually enjoyable. But sometimes a random call in is blessed. We are always looking for more visitors so if you would like to learn more tap me on the shoulder after church. Thanks to all for your prayers and encouragement.’
Looking ahead into 2023 there is great optimism to consolidate the collaborations which have been established in 2022. Working closely with CSF to provide more opportunities to gather the community together over a meal and invite them into God’s hospitality. Working with Romsey Music Project to create a culturally enriching as well as socially and spiritually enriching event every fortnight. Working with the school and creating opportunities for more of the congregation of St Philip’s to feel connected with the local families of Romsey Town. Creating more space for quiet, spiritual nourishment in an exhausting and busy world. May God guide us and inspire us to continue to shine the light of God’s love here on Mill Road.
Thank yous
Jane, Martin, Chris, Jim, Anke, Rosemary, everyone who has welcomed, wardened, registrar’d, zoomed, made tea and coffee, managed the sound or screens, read, prayed— we are the body of Christ because of all the individual contributions we make so thank you for being hands and feet, eyes and ears for St Philip’s!

Ruth Barry
Key decisions of the PCC in 2022
At the beginning of the year, still in interregnum, the PCC was preparing for interview days with potential new vicars. Ruth’s first meeting with the PCC took place in July.
The Cornerstone Café vision was under discussion throughout 2022. In the autumn, the PCC agreed to begin a partnership with Cambridge Sustainable Food and use the space for community gatherings and activities, rather than as a commercial café. The PCC decided to deregister for VAT.
During 2022, the PCC agreed one-off donations: in March, £500 to Ukraine via Tearfund; in May, a £500 grant from discretionary funds to a refugee family at St Philip’s School, via Sophie Young.
Catherine, Alan and Ruth worked on the PCC’s safeguarding documentation. The PCC resolved to adopt the Church of England's Safeguarding Policy for children, young people, and adults.
The PCC agreed to pursue Eco Church awards, and Ruth and Bea worked on this.
In November, the PCC agreed a budget for 2023 which incorporated a rough amount for a possible new staff member. The PCC also agreed to increase parish share contributions by 12%.
At the 2022 APCM, Chris stepped down as warden and Martin was elected. Elaine, David and Chris were re-elected as lay members of the PCC. Polly was also subsequently co-opted.

Proceedings of Cambridge South Deanery Synod
St Philip’s C of E church falls under the remit of the Cambridge South Deanery. Each Deanery has a Deanery Synod, consisting of both Clergy and Lay representatives and is jointly chaired by the Rural Dean and a Lay Chair. 3 meetings were held during 2022 and matters discussed included:
- Deanery Development Plan: every Diocese is going through local reviews and developing plans for the future. This is because there are varied levels of growth in parishes across the diocese, e.g. the housing growth in Cambridge. The church needs to react to this growth and to ask itself questions such as, ‘How do we meet the potential growth in spiritual needs?’, ‘How do we shape the clergy team to respond?’, ‘Could there be more joint working with other churches and/or other Deaneries?’ A steering group has been set up to take the plan forward.
8
-
Eco Church initiatives: there have been several Eco Church Awards made during 2022 to those churches who have found eco-friendly ways of managing their worship, church buildings, and their community engagement.
-
General Synod updates: information on the subjects coming up, or already discussed, at General Synod meetings, e.g. the strive towards Net Zero by 2030, Safeguarding, ‘Living in Love and Faith’ and the war in Ukraine.
-
Cambridge Churches Homeless Project (CCHP): ‘our’ Sophie (Young), Chaplain to the Homeless and Streetlife Community, sent a written report outlining the partnership with ‘It Takes a City’, and other organisations, in providing 24-hour safe emergency accommodation throughout the winter at ‘Crossways’, a pop-up hostel on Chesterton Road. CCHP seeks to show the love of Christ to the most marginalised and vulnerable people in our community. It relies on the prayerful, financial and active support of the churches across Cambridge. The Deanery has supported CCHP with a £6,000 donation over 3 years, and will continue to do so.
-
Finance: due to a few churches facing financial difficulty, the Deanery was unable to make full payment (to the Ely Diocese) of its Parish Share for 2021, but it is hoped to be able to make full payment in relation to 2022.
-
Resources for Ukraine: various churches across the city are providing support, either by assisting with accommodation, fund raising or by the provision of Food Hubs. In response, several Ukrainian families have started attending the churches concerned.
-
Warm hubs in churches: churches were reminded of the availability of the Winter Spaces Community Grant, available from Cambridge City Council, which offers £1,000 to be spent towards keeping a building open as a ‘warm space’ during the winter.
Overall, as usual, there has been a very interesting variety of topics covered across all three meetings.
