Aims and purpose

The aims and purpose of the church remains undiminished where the mission, outreach, thanksgiving, and celebration are at the heart of the ethos in our parish. We are an open and inclusive Church and warmly welcome everyone at St. Mary and St. Margaret, whatever their background or previous experience of Christian worship. We are looking to grow every individual as a Child of God through close ties with the Church school and in our wider Church community.

Our Mission is to be relevant in this community and beyond, through loving Christian service.

Our Aim is to be a living, vibrant, witnessing Church at the centre of our Community.

Vision for the Future

In 2019 we started our Transforming Church journey to grow our Church and meet the needs of an everchanging society. We embarked on a journey of reflection to consider who we are, who our community thinks we are and where God is calling us. This report will follow the aims from the Church Action Plan 2021

1. To be a prayerful and Christ led Church: centered on the needs of the

congregation, and wider Community. Caring and compassionate to all that live . and work in Castle Bromwich, regardless of age, culture, needs, or background During the continuing interregnum our Church Warden Lisa has done a great job ensuring that every service has been covered by priests who have brought their own talents to the regular services. Lisa has been supported by an army of workers who have helped with the running of the church to ensure its position in the wider community.

2. To Support our Church School family, fostering a mutual spiritual and pastoral partnership with Children, Teachers, and parents .

We have continued to welcome our church school to Wednesday morning services to foster the children’s spiritual growth. The Mothers Union and the Cafe Worship group have put on events that have welcomed classes to the church grounds and community hall working in partnership with their teachers.

3. To be Open, welcoming, and hospitable – sharing the Love of Jesus with everyone, regardless of who they are or why they join us. Whether new, of long standing or visiting, make everyone feel at home and included as we seek to broaden the diversity of our outreach and grow new disciples The pastoral group have provided an updated welcome leaflet for all new comers and

3

visitors, these are given out by the people who welcome all in the congregation as they arrive for services. People on duty now wear name labels to identify themselves. A table at the back of church holds welcome leaflets, prayer cards and cards for newcomers. All other tables have been removed from the area around the font so that we now have a comfortable area to welcome people.

4. To provide worship that satisfies the needs of all ages, abilities, and lifestyles, meeting people where they are in their Christian Journey.

We try to provide different forms of service. Once a month we have a baptism service to welcome those to be baptized, their families and friends. We have two sung services and an all age service each month. One Sunday per month the Cafe Worship team provide an alternative form of worship in the Community Hall aimed at providing for families with children and is available for anyone who wishes to experience this style of worship.

5 . To be mission led – taking the word of Jesus out into the Community. Linking up with people, other communities and Churches on joint ventures that . strengthen connection and unity between our different congregations

We hold a number of events aimed at the local community over the year. The scarecrow trial linked with Harvest Festival, Carols under the Stars for Christmas. These events are aimed at the local community using our facilities and showing that church is at the heart of these events.

At the moment we are weak at working with other communities and on joint ventures, a position we must try to work at.

6. Provide a regular programme of activities to support Christian journeys.

Creating a Discipleship Pathway particularly for new Christians, Children, Youth, . and families to grow their faith

We have had a group of adults and children who have successfully grown their faith and been confirmed into the church. We are setting up a youth group to further the young peoples’ journey and hopefully introduce faith to other young people.

7. To be an Environmentally responsible Church – committed to being stewards of God’s Creation

The PCC is looking at ways in which we can become carbon neutral.

8 . To provide a thriving Christian Ministry for Children, Young People and Families (CYPF) – in the belief that children and young people can follow Jesus and be full members of the Church and are integral to church growth.

As already stated the Cafe Worship Team provide an alternative form of service being more suitable for families and children. The Wednesday morning service is aimed at school children families and adults. And the forming of a youth group for older children will enable them to grow their faith.

We have a Baby and Me group who meet twice a month in the community Hall.

4

Other actions that happen in the name of our church are the events organised by the pastoral group who arrange meals, a drop in for coffee twice a month and an annual outing for the elderly and lonely of the parish and wider community. The bereavement group who provide a service for those who have been bereaved and attract people from the parish and the wider community. The people who visit the elderly and housebound taking communion to those who are no longer able to join our services. Soup and a roll is prepared fresh by Alison and served every second Wednesday of the month.

Objects and Activities

We have a thriving and inclusive all-age congregation from many walks of life. While many people come from the local community – the village setting of Castle Bromwich with its Hall and Gardens – many others are drawn from further afield and from different Christian traditions. By providing a variety of services and worship styles we hope that most needs are catered for while creating the conditions for discipleship and spiritual growth, development and wellbeing. We also have an excellent relationship with our local church school, St. Mary and St. Margaret CE Aided Primary School, where children participate in weekly clergy led worship, both in the school and in the church setting. Our family church team are working hard to improve these links.

Our Community Hall provides for our own needs while broadening our community outreach by offering a broad range of services and activities that have both deepened and strengthened our local ties while fostering and developing community cohesion.

Worship and Services

Throughout 2022 we have been in vacancy and relied on visiting clergy to lead our worship. We are very grateful to everyone who helped to ensure we continued to have Sunday Worship. We continued to have a 10am service each Sunday with only the bread element of Communion administered until Easter when we reintroduced the wine element too. We are extremely grateful to all the visiting clergy who have led us in our worship. We were able to re-introduce our Wednesday morning services, twice monthly, in March. When we have no clergy cover, these services are led by Mary Jones and Lisa Wakeman with a spiritual communion. A class from our church school join us at the Wednesday service.

We are extremely grateful to all our visiting clergy, Mary and Lisa for leading us in worship.

The annual Remembrance Parade was officiated by Rev Gavin Douglas.

This busy parish church is currently in vacancy, visiting clergy are ably helped by our small band of loyal servers and administrants who turn up every week to support them, their help has been an invaluable resource and they continue to support our visiting clergy.

In 2022, the parish undertook

Our current service patterns are as follows:

Pastoral Care and Counselling

There are 10 members of the Pastoral Group and 1 helper. The group met 7 times during 2022. We held 4 Luncheon Clubs in the Community Hall which were all well attended.

The Summer outing was on the 16[th] June, a visit to the National Memorial Arboretum followed with a carvery meal at The George Hotel, Lichfield. We had 44 people on the outing who all enjoyed the day out. The Christmas meal at Castle Bromwich Hall Hotel on the 8[th] December was attended

by 63 people.

We have restarted Coffee Mornings every 2[nd] and 4[th] Wednesday in the community hall where we serve tea, coffee and toast .Numbers are slowly picking up again. The Bereavement Group is held every 2[nd] Monday of the month between1.30 – 3pm , and is well attended.

We held an All Saints Service on the 30[th] October, invitations were sent out to those Bereaved from our Church and in the community, the pastoral group provided refreshments after the service and spent time talking to those who attended the

We have produced a new Welcome Leaflet, which is now in Church and have been provided with Pastoral Badges and Lanyards so that people can easily identify us. We continue to send out thinking of you cards to those in need of our prayers. House visits are made to the sick and house bound, and Holy Communion taken to those who request it.

Baptism Team

St. Mary and St. Margaret as an historic church building continues to attract applications for Baptisms from both within and outside the Parish. Baptisms are currently only carried out as part of the main Sunday 10am Parish Holy Communion service on the first Sunday, our afternoon services at 2pm where the service is Baptism

6

only have been suspended due to having no incumbent. Baptism Team are Lisa Wakeman , Shirley Middlemass and Tricia Richards.

Out of Parish families must seek permission from their home parish priest for the Baptism to be done at St. Mary and St. Margaret. Families with no qualifying connection to the Parish are required to attend a 10am Sunday service for six months prior to the Baptism and a register of attendance is kept. We welcomed 28 children & adults through Baptism in 2022 The Baptism team undertakes the following:

The preparation of records and certificates is done by the Parish Administrator.

Our challenges for 2023 will be:

To increase members of the Baptism Team and encourage volunteers, particularly with regard to assisting at the Thanksgiving & Preparation Services and afternoon Baptism Services if they resume .

Building on and maintaining a relationship with Baptism families.

Café Worship Team

Café Worship continued to be a vibrant addition to our more traditional Sunday Worship. With an informal and relaxed Messy Church style, simple worship, crafts and Bible stories, it remained popular with families and children. On average we welcomed approx. 20 adults and 18 children each month. There remains a higher proportion of pre-school children than school aged children/youth attending, which reflected the general trend in Church. With only 2 leaders and one helper to set up the hall, prepare the service and crafts, lead the worship and cover all jobs on the day, 2022 was a challenge, especially during holiday periods and more helpers are needed if we are to continue.

With support from the wider Family Church group and Wayfarers – in addition to our monthly service, below are other activities that took place: Light Party – a fun Christian alternative to Halloween Palm Praise - a relaxed All Age exploration of Holy Week

Harvest Service in main Church – followed by a Community Pumpkin event and school visit.

Outdoor Community Carols and Nativity Trail.

7

The Mothers’ Union

We continue to meet on a Wednesday for our monthly friendship afternoons, where we chat, play games, or discuss interesting topics. It is popular with members and nonmembers alike. Those less active continue to support us especially with prayer, which is a very important part of our ministry.

Highlighted meetings, in March for Mothering Sunday we made up daffodil posies to distribute to all the ladies in church or at home. In June we were delighted to introduce back our messy church invite to year 3 from our church school and also to the young families from church. We had a fun afternoon in our Community hall, old and young alike sharing in prayer and fellowship, working together on a craft to take home, this year we explored the trinity. Finally in December we held our annual afternoon Carol service which was well attended and we once again collected an amazing amount of goods for women’s aid.

Our members continue to be very active within church life and have been delighted to serve our congregation and community during the past year and we are eagerly looking forward to what 2023 brings.

The Family Church Team

Family Church is a team of volunteers from various areas of Church, who join forces in their passion for Family Mission. The aim is to build a nurturing environment that helps families and newer Christians explore their faith in creative ways with fun and fellowship. During 2022 we shared ideas and resources to support one another both practically and spiritually, working as a team and separately to organise the following activities:

The community events proved extremely popular and drew large crowds from the local community and further afield and we aim to expand this mission area going forward.

8

Wayfarers

Wayfarers is the Sunday School for primary aged children ( 4-11 years) and we meet in the Community Hall, after the Gospel during the 10.00a.m. service, on the first and third Sundays (term time only).The children on our roll enjoy the group, learning about the Bible and the Christian faith in a fun and interactive way, often including messy church elements.

Our two main activities during the year are enacting the events of Holy week at the Good Friday Children’s service and the presentation of the Nativity at the Children’s Christmas Eve service.

We started 2022 with an Epiphany Party with a specially created game telling the story of The Wise Men’s journey which the children enjoyed.

Our Good Friday Service was interactive with the congregation moving around church and the hall collecting 5 puzzle pieces to fit into a small puzzle depicting 5 elements of the Easter story (a palm leaf, chalice, praying hands, cross, sunrise). Special thanks go to the Crafty Cow for creating the brilliant puzzle board to our exact specification. A retiring collection was taken for The Leprosy Mission.

Wayfarers were fortunate to enjoy the end of term Summer party outside thanks to brilliant weather and we contributed to the Pumpkin trail at Harvest which was good fun.

Not having enough children to play all the parts required, our Christmas Eve Service was interactive with children and some parents from the congregation dressing up and acting the parts as our two narrators read the story. Although the service wasn’t as well attended as usual it went down well and was enjoyed by all. A retiring collection was taken for The Children’s Society.

Due to fewer volunteer helpers generally and low numbers of children at Wayfarers a discussion was started between Café Worship team and Wayfarers regarding a possible way forward together. Discussions are ongoing.

Baby & Me Friendship Café

We had a small hiatus in the spring of 2022 and returned in May, without restrictions, two Thursdays a month. Numbers continued to be lower than pre-pandemic before we broke up for summer. We hosted a small teddy bears picnic during the summer holidays on the lawn which was enjoyed by some of the moms who usually attended

the group. Following our relaunch on two Wednesdays a month in September of 2022, attendance has continued to improve and we now average about 15-20 parents per session. Feedback for the group continues to be encouraging and supportive of the safe environment we are trying to create for new parents. Visiting businesses have included child first aid trainers and hand/foot prints on ceramic keep sakes. Last year some of the funds were used to buy a toddler toilet seat and new nappy bin to make the facilities more user friendly for those with young children. We also hosted our

9

first Wave of Light Service in aid of Baby Loss Awareness Week in October, the feedback was incredibly moving from those who attended and we aim to repeat the service again this year.

The grass roots function of the group has also been proven by the attendance of parents and their families at other church community events such as the summer fete, harvest festival and Christmas festivities.

Due to very limited volunteer numbers, hosting sessions is still heavily affected by holidays and illness of the two main hosts and we hope to encourage more volunteers to ensure the future viability of the group.

Bell Ringers

This has been a difficult year for us Castle Bromwich Bell Ringers. First attention must go to the loss of our dear friend, former tower captain, and role model, Bill Dargue. At Bills funeral it was wonderful to see so many ringers paying their respects. It is suffice to say that Bill has left an indelible mark upon our tower, just look at the amount photographs there are of Bill on our walls! Bill was sorely missed during his ill health and is missed even more greatly following his passing

Therein, much like Bill taught many of us to ring, we continue Bill's legacy and teaching methods as we welcome two new learners - Steve and Anthony. Both have great enthusiasm for ringing and have shown excellent promise in their early stages of ringing. They are both great new additions to our team and we look forward to being part of their journey into Bell Ringing!

Phil Ramsbottom, our ringing master for the guild, made a visit to the tower this year and commented on the great ringing we have been undertaking. We have had a great focus on 'Minimus Methods' (complex compositions written for four bells) which are a favourite of Phil's and instrument, in his opinion, in the mastering of ringing! Highlights include, Bob Minimus, Single Court, Double Court, and our most recent challenge St Nicholas - something we may ring at Christmas this year?

This year we have also rang for major events such as the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II - this all beautifully recorded in our visitors/ringing book!

We have also been lucky enough to have former Castle Bromwich ringers visit and return to ringing at the tower, it's wonderful to see old friends and to have them with us as often as they can ring, whether that be on a Wednesday or a Sunday Morning.

We look forward to continuing our ringing and welcoming new ringers into the Castle Bromwich family.

Choir and Organ

In early 2022, our much loved organist and musical director, Martin Bates, passed away. He was our musical director for 13 years during which time he not only enhanced our services with his amazing talent but was instrumental in the refurbishment of our organ. Without Martin’s incredibly hard work the refurbishment may not have been so successful.

10

We owe enormous gratitude to Margaret Croucher, who throughout 2022 played the organ, led our choir and arranged replacement organists when she was unavailable. We thank Margaret Herdman, John Ward and Rachel Taylor for coming to play for us. We hope to recruit a musical director when we have a new incumbent.

The choir have continued to lead the singing in our services during what has been a difficult time. The choir consists of 5 sopranos, 2 altos, 1 tenor and 1 bass. Thank you to them all.

We look forward to continue enjoying music from our choir and organists in 2023.

The Flower Arrangers bring both beauty and colour into our worship. We are thankful that we have this small and yet willing band who work hard to produce their excellent and stunning floral arrangements. We had beautiful floral displays for Easter, Patronal, Harvest and Christmas services. Thanks must go to those who contributed to the cost of the flowers

Church Cleaners another small but willing band of loyal volunteers who have the thankless task of cleaning our beautiful old church, their efforts are very much appreciated. However, more volunteers would be welcome.

Gardening Group we are pleased with the success of the church and hall garden, it provides a tranquil and relaxing area to refresh the Spirit, however as it becomes more mature it is harder to keep tidy but thanks to the tireless work of our small group of gardening volunteers it remains a lovely place to sit and reflect. It was well visited during lockdowns by members of the congregation and visitors alike who appreciated it's tranquillity.

Charity Fund Raising

Due to smaller congregation numbers than pre-Covid, we have not yet resumed our monthly Charity collections. However, we have resumed the lent Malawi collection boxes, Children’s Society collection at Christingle Service and St Basil’s collection boxes during Advent.

Hall Management Team

The Community Hall is run by the Hall Management Team who report to the PCC. Policies and Procedures are kept up to date.

The Community Hall office is staffed by a part time Parish Administrator who deals with all hall enquires and bookings as well as supporting the worship team with administration.

The Hall is licensed for music and drink and has a kitchen available for hire. The are several regular paid bookings for the hall, with Yoga classes and courses, Pilates classes, Baby Massage/Sensory Courses, Mother & Baby exercise class and Martial Arts groups.

11

Wayfarers and Café-Worship use the hall for their worship. Use by community groups, such as Baby and Me, along with Wednesday coffee mornings, Bereavement Support Group, Mothers Union meetings, Luncheon Club and Soup and Rolls Lunches are popular with church members and community alike . These events provide important opportunities for outreach, as they are attended by many people from the wider community, as well as Church regulars.

Safeguarding

We work to provide a safe and caring community, through respectful pastoral ministry, for all our parishioners and congregation. Our clergy, Reader and all volunteers, who work with children, young people and vulnerable adults, are DBS checked and attend the relevant diocesan run safeguarding training courses. The majority of members of the PCC have also renewed their safeguarding training using the new sessions available online from Birmingham Diocese and, in compliance with the directive from the Church of England, are also DBS checked. Our safeguarding policies and procedures are discussed and approved annually at PCC meetings. The PCC has also appointed a children’s advocate and an adult’s advocate, who sit on the PCC to represent the interests of these vulnerable groups.

The PCC has complied with its duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 to have due regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. St. Mary & St. Margaret is using the Parish Dashboard which gives us visibility of all policies, procedures and training for our church, related to keeping our church community safe. Our Parish Safeguarding CoOrdinator reports at each PCC meeting and presents a Parish Dashboard action plan at regular intervals for PPC approval.

Church/Hall Fabric

The trees in the church grounds were in need of some maintenance, and because the church grounds are in a conservation area, permission was sought from Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council. Once the council had granted permission, the trees were cut back in October by Beechwood Tree Care as allowed by SMBC and are now safe. A grant from Dame Mary Bridgeman paid for the works and we are very grateful for their generous support. The Community Hall was looking worn and dated and so it was decided to paint the hall and a dado rail was added to prevent damage from the chairs against the walls. This has breathed new life into the Hall and consequently bookings have increased.

Building & Heritage Committee

The PCC agreed to form a building and Heritage Committee to develop ideas for funding various projects over the coming years.

12

It is hoped that we would fund the majority of the work by grants mainly from the Heritage Lottery fund.

Coleshill & Polesworth Deanery Synod

There were 3 Deanery synod meetings held in 2022

February 9[th] Zoom Meeting

Area Dean Louise Shaw, gave a People & Places update. The |Deanery Project Team had agreed the Final Draft of the proposed oversight areas. Louise was visiting every PCC to show them the oversight area they will be in. Once she has visited all PCC’s, Louise will take the map to Deanery Synod

Will Stevenette talked about the Diocese learning platform ‘Pathways’ which is available to all clergy and laity. To access go to https://www.cofebirmingham.com/pathways/learning

Diocesan Synod Update – Mr Dan Myers gave an Environmental update and there was an update from the Racial Injustice Group, talking about the ‘From Lament to Action’ report. The synod approved a motion to ask the Archbishops Council to revisit the decision not to appoint a funded Racial Justice Officer to each Diocese.

General Synod Update – The Archbishop of York spoke about the need to address racial inequality in the church and in society. There was a presentation about ‘Living in Love & Faith’, a report which emphasised the need for inclusion. Diversity & engagement.

June 8[th] St. Thomas’ Church, Garretts Green

Area Dean Louise reported that she had now visited most PCCs to discuss the oversight areas and explained the process for becoming an oversight area. She gave some examples of how churches in some areas had already to started to work together. Deanery representatives were given the opportunity to discuss in groups their thoughts and concerns which were fed back to Louise.

Diocesan Synod update – Bishop Anne has recorded videos on the 5 marks of mission which are available on YouTube channel.

13

October 19[th] St. Leonard’s Church, Dordon

The focus of this meeting was Racial Justice and Lament to Action. Louise shared with the Synod some information that Revd Dele at Quinton Church; chair of the diocese’s Racial Justice Group had shared with other Deaneries.

The Diocese so far has done the following:

A video was then shown – the link to this video is:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8M5aBzgQljM

Deanery Synod members discussed in groups the contents of the video, experiences in their parishes and what as a Deanery can do. We will continue to think about this as a Deanery, something that we will return to.

Volunteers

We must thank all our volunteers, many of whom work tirelessly in the background but without whom the church and hall would not run so smoothly. Each year we do lose one or two of our older volunteers and we particularly give thanks to these people for their many years of service.

The above report has been compiled by the PCC Secretary with input from the PCC Vice Chair, Church Wardens and Church Groups on behalf of the PCC/Trustees.

Approved by the PCC on 17th May 2023 and signed on their behalf by the PCC Vice Chair

Mr David Greaves (PCC Vice Chairman)
