Minister’s Report

“Rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thess. 5:16-18.

In the outset of 2023, we made a heartfelt decision to embrace a theme of 'thrive' for the year ahead. Having spent the past few years in survival mode, merely keeping the metaphorical ship of WWC afloat, we sensed a shift in the winds. Armed with a renewed vision, mission, and a steadily growing congregation, it was time to unfurl our sails and chart a course wherever the Spirit might lead us. And what an exhilarating journey it turned out to be!

Throughout the year, we were privileged to witness extraordinary movements of the Spirit, as God worked in, through, and around us. Undoubtedly, the voyage was challenging, but in hindsight, we can appreciate just how far we've come. Here are a few highlights:

Growth

Community Service

Page 1 of 23

Whaddon Way Church

Annual Report 2023

While these achievements may not make headlines, they lay the groundwork for effective mission and ministry in the years ahead.

Yet, like any sea voyage, we encountered storms and choppy waters. But it's in facing these challenges together that our bonds are strengthened, our capacities tested, and our unity forged.

Development Grant Bid

We received disappointing news at the end of 2023 regarding our bid for a full-time youth and children's worker. Yet, in this setback lies an opportunity for unified prayer and recalibration as we strive to better serve the young hearts in our community.

Capacity

While Christmas at WWC was a resounding success, it revealed our overreliance on key volunteers. Moving forward, we must ensure responsibilities are distributed more evenly among our membership, preventing exhaustion and fostering a sense of shared ownership.

As we navigate the seas ahead, let us remember that it's not just about reaching our destination, but about the journey itself – united in purpose, strengthened by faith, and anchored in love.

As we reflect on the Spirit-filled year we've experienced at WWC, let's rejoice in all that God has accomplished within us, through us, and around us. Let's cultivate a spirit of continual prayer, whether we're navigating through challenging storms or enjoying peaceful seas. And in every circumstance, past, present, and future, let's give thanks to God, for this is His will for us in Christ Jesus. Thank you all for being part of this incredible journey. Here's to embracing the joy of the Lord, maintaining a spirit of prayerfulness, and offering thanks in all things.

Rev. Peter Landry

Trustees’ Report

The past year has seen big changes within the team of trustees – people have stepped down from Trustees and others have been appointed. We would like to thank Kathy Scarborough for all that she did as Chair of Trustees up until April 2023 when she stepped down from her Trustee role. This role went to Georgy Holden who agreed to take up duties as Chair of Trustees.

We also thank David Miller for being a trustee and, for many years, our treasurer. He stepped down from Trustees at the April 2023 A.G.M. and from being treasurer at the end of December 2023. He kindly agreed to continue working on the financial books along with Rita James who took the treasurer role from January 2024. The finance team also welcomed John Heycock and Mercy Addai-Dufie, who bring additional skills and experience to the team.

Thanks also go to Philip Bates, who was a trustee up until the April 2023 A.G.M. He was a real asset to the trustee team and could always be relied on to ask the challenging questions to keep us on the right path.

In the place of those standing down we were delighted to welcome Adey DanielOgunnaike and Paul Ormrod to the trustee team. Each brings different skills and experience and their talents are much needed in the team. We are very pleased to have them working and serving with us.

In August we held a trustees’ away day to focus on a proposed new management structure and the Trustees’ individual areas of responsibility within this. The day was also attended by Chris Hayter, a member of the St Mary’s Bletchley PCC, who was invited for her spiritual wisdom and prophetic gifting. The new structure has now been implemented and is working well. The areas of responsibility are as follows:

Rev. Peter Landry Mission and ministry
Sheraya Fourie Communications
Georgy Holden Organisation and administration
Rita James Finance
Paul Ormrod Building and Maintenance
Adeyinka Daniel-Ogunnaike Hospitality
Sue North Children’s work

At the Ordinary Church Meeting in October 2023, it was agreed that Chris Hayter would join the trustees as a non-voting representative from St Mary’s in a reciprocal arrangement with St Mary’s.

Following agreement from the OCM a small card-reader was purchased and installed, in addition to the giving box, to enable church members and visitors to make donations by contactless card or mobile phone, if they wish. It has been slow to gain traction but it offers an alternative way of giving for a relatively small outlay.

Over several months in 2023, a team of church members worked on an application to the Diocese for a development grant. The funds applied for were to support the role of Pioneer Minister, and to employ a Children’s and Youth Worker. Members of the

3 of 24

Whaddon Way Church

Annual Report 2023

large team were chosen for their diverse and high skill levels. The team worked on the application to ensure every question was comprehensively addressed. The work started towards the end of July and continued until submission in the middle of October. A prayer group met regularly, devoted to praying for the work throughout the process.

Rev. Peter Landry, worked hard on the document and liaised with mentors at the Diocese to ensure that the document being produced was correct and missed nothing. Despite reassurances throughout the process that the application would succeed, ultimately it was unsuccessful which was a great disappointment to the trustees and the wider church.

Outreach Ministries

Noah’s Ark

Numbers at Noah’s Ark are slightly down this year with an average of 10 pre-school children each week during term time. 4 are toddlers/babies. There is no charge. The parents/carers stay with the children all the way through the session. Provided each week in the main hall are a range of activities that are suitable for the age range. Before the youngsters have their snack time they all wash their hands. Their snacks are always healthy and very much enjoyed. During this time a short story and nursery rhymes are led by a leader. Although we have a rota, more helpers would ease the workload as if one or two people are absent the team left are very stretched.

Leaders at the present time are Keith Gibbs, Sue Gibbs, Linda Winstanley, Joy Arnold, Ann Ormrod, Angela Miller.

Café on the Way

This is a free after school drop-in held every Friday afternoon from 3pm – 5pm during term time. It is attended mainly by up to 35 students from the nearby secondary school who can play board and other games, table tennis; table football, wi-i ; Nintendo and puzzles . The qualified Youth Leader, Marco Loxley, is paid by the Church and is very popular with the teens. Two church members who have been youth leaders for many years help. Marco and two ex-students help set up and also help clear away at the end of the session. It would be good to have two volunteers come to church at 5pm to help lay out chairs for the Sunday Worship or set up from 2pm. There are some vulnerable young people that come; some have autism or ADHD. At times these young people can be difficult but we lovingly welcome them. Café on the Way is a safe place to be. The kitchen is a busy place overseen by the female leader with a rotation of three students serving hot chocolate drinks, toast squash and biscuits.

Pebblestones

Pebblestones has been running for over 20 years, seeing children from age 6 plus to 12, emerging from hating school, with poor self-esteem, to a position, for many of them arising out of the ashes and becoming upset when they are informed by parents that tomorrow is a ‘baker’ day.

Before lockdown, we had 12 children, with a waiting list of a further 12. Since then, numbers have been down with 5 children attending regularly; however, it is

6 of 24

Whaddon Way Church

Annual Report 2023

anticipated that an additional 4 children will join the group after the Easter break. In addition, three children are supported online, due to reluctance to attend the class or too far away to attend in person.

Teaching is carried out with a structured programme, which includes English and some maths. We endeavour to ensure interaction between the child’s school so that input can be adjusted to suit the learning needs of the child.

We are blessed with the support of Jenny, who spends time with each child developing their reading skills, and when she is unable to attend, to say the children are not happy is an understatement.

We would like to publicise the work more widely to help more children and welcome suggestions about how to achieve this. Unfortunately, West Bletchley Council have refused permission for us to advertise in Open Doors due to it taking place in a church.

Livingstones has been operational since 1996; however, it is now run on a 1-2-1 format, with three adults from the church attending.

We thank the Lord for His mercy in providing the patience and wisdom to support the children and for the continued prayers from the church.

Time for You

At the present time we have 50 people on the register but usually we have an average attendance of 40 adults averaging 75 years each week .There is a charge of £2.00 to enter. This money helps with gifts when everyone throughout the year has a birthday. The money also goes towards activities. There is also £1.00 towards refreshments. Many of our members attend Whaddon Way Church, some from other churches and more and more from the local community. The overall leader enjoys leading Christmas & Easter services. They enjoy the varied programme which includes speakers, outings, keep fit sessions, board games, trip to the seaside and going to the local garden centres. We have a very good team of leaders whose names follow – Sue Gibbs, Pat Morgan, Monica Loveland, Kathy Senior, Derek Bignell, Richard Dayton, Tony & Thelma Warner.

Winter Night Shelter

Last winter (2022-23) the Church joined some 12 other church venues by providing overnight accommodation, hot evening meals and breakfasts for up to 7 homeless adults every Sunday evening / Monday morning. The other nights were covered by other venues, on a rota basis. Numbers were restricted because of the Covid 19 risk.

7 of 24

Whaddon Way Church

Annual Report 2023

Similarly, we are due to accommodate up to 15 homeless adults between the beginning of December 2023 and Easter 2024 but only every other week. We have had maximum numbers most weeks this season despite a good number being moved into housing and/or employment. We were blessed to have valuable help from volunteers from other churches and none but organising is quite demanding despite the main role being played by paid staff at UnityMK.

Environmental Group

The Environment Group has 11 members and volunteers with Kathy Scarborough as Chair.

We have been looking at gaining EcoChurch status and also plan to encourage people to check their Carbon Footprints with a view to improving our green use as a church and as individuals. This is a new group and is in the planning stage but new ideas are flowing in and much can be accomplished in the future. Meanwhile, members are attending meetings of interchurch environment groups and we are learning of new initiatives.

Other Outreach Activities

Tearfund Quiz – very popular for drawing in people who do not come to Church. It is also a fundraiser.

Pancake event – a team of church folks made pancakes to hand out to students coming out of school and local folks walking by the church. Handouts were also given inviting passersby to church events.

Hot cross buns. Last Easter buns with information about church activities were handed out at two local shopping areas.

Local Carnival – Every year in July we hire a pitch to set up a gazebo promoting Church activities.

Church Picnic- Last summer Church members were joined by a number of families (mainly from Noah's Ark) in a picnic on the green outside the church.

Children’s and Young People’s Church

We have had a good year with an addition of three more children this makes our number on the register up to ten.

They do not all come every week, but we average four/five most weeks.

The children have taken part in reading and praying in church which they enjoy doing along with joining in the children’s song

every Sunday. They also enjoyed taking part in the Nativity.

I would like to thank all those adults who help on a rota system. If any more of you would like to help please come and see me

I am in church most weeks. Please do remember the children and the helpers in your prayers.

Maintenance and Infrastructure Group

Team Members for 2023:

Paul & Ann Ormrod, Wyndham Daniels, Keith Gibbs, David Arnold, Ken Pitkethly, Brian Fox, and Peter Landry.

After a somewhat slow start, the MIG team of 2023 became a hive of activity, marked by significant transformations. Following the previous AGM, Paul and Ann Ormrod assumed the roles of co-chairs, injecting fresh energy into our operations. In their initial six months, they spearheaded the revival of regular team gatherings, streamlined building maintenance processes, delegated tasks to enable MIG members to tackle diverse projects, and facilitated crucial building endeavours. However, with the adoption of a portfolio-based oversight structure by the Trustees, and Paul Ormrod's assignment to oversee the building portfolio encompassing lettings, MIG, and church-related ministries, a potential conflict of interest arose, prompting the nomination of Peter Landry as the temporary chair of the MIG team.

Throughout the remainder of 2023, our MIG team maintained its momentum, diligently convening and focusing on identifying pivotal building development projects, crafting timelines and budgets, and strategizing ways to deepen our connection with God, each other, and the broader community.

Some achievements of the MIG team in 2023 include:

As our church building remains integral to our vision and mission, we aim to diversify the MIG team in 2024. We are seeking individuals with expertise in administration, design, IT, electrical work, plumbing, construction, and availability for opening and closing the church premises after lettings. If you're interested in contributing to this dynamic team, please reach out to Peter Landry at peter.landry@whaddonway.church.

Pastoral Ministry Group

Team members for 2023:

Rebekah Taylor, Joy Arnold, Paul Ormrod, Beryl Lodge, Sue Gibbs, Kathy Scarborough, Rita James & Peter Landry.

Amidst an ageing congregation and a blossoming online church community, nurturing pastoral care remains a cornerstone of our faith journey at WWC. In a socioeconomically disadvantaged area, it's not just a service; it's a vital expression of our commitment to embodying the Gospel message of Jesus in our daily lives. Yet, despite its significance, pastoral care remains one of the most underserved ministries within our church.

Though our team welcomed two new members in 2023 and extended our pastoral care offerings, we're acutely aware that the demand far exceeds our capacity. We've made strides, but there's still so much ground to cover within our congregation and the wider community.

In 2023, our pastoral care efforts manifested in various forms:

Despite our best efforts, securing a volunteer leader for this group proved challenging in 2023. However, as we chart our course for 2024, we're exploring new avenues to strengthen our pastoral care initiatives. We're considering dividing responsibilities into three distinct roles:

Rest assured, training will be provided for all roles. If you feel called to join us in this vital endeavour, please don't hesitate to reach out to Peter Landry at peter.landry@whaddonway.church . Your involvement could make a world of difference to those in need of care and compassion.

Healing Prayer Ministry Group

The team consists of six people: Edith Adebiyi, Joy Arnold, Sue Gibbs, Rita James, Kathy Scarborough and Sheila Wilson (from Servant King church).

The team meets every Monday evening for healing prayers. Zoom is available for those who cannot be present in person. We invite people who need prayer to come for focused prayer when two team members pray with the person who requests prayer whilst the others pray for a list of other people, some of whom are referred to us by email from the Christian Healing Mission.

Over the past twelve months we praise God for His blessings and answered prayers for many who have received healing. Lately we have had the honour of being asked to pray for some very serious matters for individuals who have come forward for prayer by recommendation from other sources. The Lord has been good to us throughout and given us faith to continue.

A few people for whom we have prayed will report back to praise God for healing. One exceptional individual has given talks to Whaddon Way Church about her own experiences, having made TV broadcasts and written books about it. We thank our God for doing what He does.

We pray that the Lord would bless us with continuing and strengthened faith so that we shall move mountains, in Jesus’ name.

Home Groups

Buckingham Road

We have generally met at the two most senior members’ house, every Tuesday evening between 7.00pm and 8.30pm during term time. We discuss issues raised by the week's sermon, pray and share our life situations. Numbers have varied between 3 and 9. We have an age range from 90s to two under 9's year olds. The children have contributed considerably with insights and Bible readings. Parental work and illness issues have often prevented us from meeting but we are hoping to arrange some social activities.

Melrose Home Group

Tuesday evenings: 7.30-9.00pm at Whaddon Way Church Centre.

The Melrose Home Group is run jointly by Kathy Scarborough and Ken Pitkethly. There are currently 8 members and we study the previous week's sermon and learn more about Jesus through discussion and prayer. We find support and love for each other within the group. We would welcome new members into this Group.

Wednesday Afternoon (previously Newton Longville)

Meeting every Wednesday afternoon at 2pm at Whaddon Way Church Centre.

Led by David, Joy, John or Sue. This group used to meet at Newton Longville but have decided that the church was conveniently located for everyone to travel to on a Wednesday afternoon.

Furzton Home Group

Meeting every Tuesday evening between 7.30-9.00pm.

This group meets in Furzton and is led by Sue and Les Smith.

Furzton house-group has had a very enjoyable year. We regularly have up to 10 attendees, and have enjoyed discussing the subject matter from Sunday sermons aided by questions provided by preachers.

Our meetings also involve some singing, and it has been good to spend some time in prayer for issues including whole church related subjects, and personal matters. We have also had the occasional social evening.

Les & Sue.

Financial Review

Unrestricted funds

Regular donations have increased by 14% over the year of 2022. Total income reached £83,657 at the end of the year 2023 compared to 2022 which was £70,657. Whaddon Way Church received a donation of £4,250 as our share of the distribution of monies following the closure of Drayton Parslow Baptist Church.

Expenditure in 2023 was £62,236, slightly above the budget of £60,794. The surplus at the end of 2023 is £21,421 (compared to 2022 which was £22,148).

Throughout the year of 2023 there have been significant sums set aside for the Anglican Pioneer minister. The fund grew from a starting figure of £10k to around £46k at the end of December 2023. This is a designated fund set aside for contribution towards the stipend of the Pioneer Minister (Priest in Charge) which we are expecting to have to pay for from mid-2024.

The Mursley Fund which supports Café-on-the-Way activities (another fund) started 2023 at a level of just over £58k and ended the year at approximately £53k.

Restricted Funds

Winter Night Shelter (WNS) activities started again in early December 2022 and continued up to the end of March 2023. This is a small fund with food and laundry costs this season. The intervals between WNS nights is fortnightly rather than weekly this year. The fund value stood at just over £1,000 at the end of December 2023.

We used part of a grant received from St Mary’s Bletchley in 2022 to pay for development of a new website.

Other restricted fund receipts and payments consisted mostly of club subscriptions and running expenses.

Fixed Assets

Money has been spent on new carpets, lighting and technical equipment in the main hall. In the office, the administrator has had minor adjustments to windows and a new laptop to replace an old pc.

Risk Management

17 of 24

Whaddon Way Church

Annual Report 2023

· The Fire Safety inspections took place during the summer of 2023. We had a fire drill and a procedure is now in place to ensure safety of everyone in the building.

Quality and accuracy of financial information

The accounts are updated as transactions occur. Every month the accounting records are reconciled with the bank accounts, and total fund values are reconciled with these. A summary report is provided to Trustees prior to each Trustees’ meeting and a more detailed report at the end of each quarter.

Adequacy of reserves

We have sufficient reserves to fund a Pioneer Minister for about three years by which time we hope to have grown in membership and income.

We had been led to believe that our contribution would be on a tapered basis. This turned out to have been dependent upon our success in securing funds via the grant application. Since this was not successful, we shall have to reconsider a new longer term budget.

Adequacy of insurance cover

It is likely that the building is due another review by our insurers as the last assessment was in 2018. Insurance cover has been increased in line with inflation each year since that assessment.

Dependency on sources of income

Our latest members have integrated well as members of Whaddon Way Church and we are blessed to have an increased amount of giving from a larger number of donors than previously.

Financial controls

The financial controls were fully reviewed by Trustees in their meeting of 22[nd] March 2023.

Charity Structure, Governance and Management

Structure

Whaddon Way Church is a single congregational Anglican/Baptist LEP. Its area of ministry is primarily within the parish of St Mary’s, Bletchley.

Governance and Management

A constitution was adopted in October 2011 and entered in the Register of Charities with the Charity Commission on 2[nd] November 2011. Subsequently, small revisions were made to provide for additional trustees and methods of appointment of a Minister and Trustees. The constitution provides for two Trustees to be appointed from St Mary’s Church, to reflect the fact that Whaddon Way Church is an LEP.

The constitution articulates how the church will ensure that the Trustees carry the ultimate legal responsibilities for decision-making whilst the church meeting continues to provide a vehicle for all members to vote on matters that require decision making by the membership.

Whaddon Way Church

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Whaddon Way Church

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
