Ob"ective¥ and Activitios 'The PCC (Powers) measure 1956 states the PCC "is to co-operate with the minister in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social, and ecumenical" St Thomas, Church.. proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ by witness and example to the whole community of Lydiate and Downholland. Worshi Regular Pattern of Worship Sunday 8.00am Holy Communion Book of Common Prayer Sunday 11.00am First and Third Sundays Common Worship Eucharist Sunday 11,00 Fourth Sunday All Age Worship Wednesday 11.00am weekly said mid-week Eucharist The Electoral Roll Ststement There was a total of 104 on the electoral roll of which 55 % (were Resident ) and 45 % (Non-resident ectives achieved for 2024 Organ restored and now fully playable in services Screens erected to enhance worship especially for all age worship and Church Parades Warm Space I warm welcome initiative to provide a simple meal and fellowship on Wednesday established under the guidance and direction of Rev Glenys Gardner with a group of volunteers who have been safer recruited. Parent and Toddler group established and flourishing under the guidance of Val Blakemore and Joan Rainford with a group of volunteers who have been safer recruited Engagement in the as if process of fit for mission under the guidance of the Change lead Rev Canon David Banbury and the navigation team Rectors Re ort Much has been achieved but there is much to be done if St Thomas is to flourish and help grow a bigger church that makes a bigger difference. Thank you to everyone who has helped to bring us to this point, from enabling the organ to be fixed and the screens installed to the mid-week communion, luncheon club and parent and toddler group. Worship Numbers at Sunday services are steady. The mid week communion under the lead of Rev Glen Gardner is going well with an average attendance of 12 adults. Glen has been relicensed rith Permission to Officiate (PTO)
The organ is playing well and we have been able to secure the services of Glenn Howard and Chris Lennie to play on a fairly regular basis. The choir makes a significant contribution to worship and have enjoyed supporting a number of joint services over the year including joining forces with Rainford choir. Church parades are going well, and the Scouts and Guides seem to appreciate the changes which have kept them engaged. Christian Chatter is still small but appreciated by those who come. We have developed prayer leaflets for people to use so we can pray around the village. In addition we have leaflets about ways to explore faith outside Sundays through apps etc. The church building is being left open more often but this is still reliant on the Rector and churchwardens to open and close the building. A shut and locked church is a barrier to mission. Graveyard Thank you for the amazing amount of work that has been done to tidy the graveyard. It has drawn in people from the community. There is still much to be done. Flooding remains a risk. A significant drain that runs towards Southport Road is blocked - possibly by a grave. Water is not draining as it should. Water was pumped out of the drains over the summer, but it is clear that the water is unable to drain freely. Conversations have been had with Sefton Council and the Leverhulme estate but no solution has been implemented After issues with the style of headstones in the newer section of the graveyard a consultation was undertaken at the request of the Archdeacon and the restriction in place around the use of York stone was lifted at the end of December 2024. The easing has been applied retrospectively and a number of families have already replad York stones with granite ones. Occasional Offices I pastoral care We have a steady flow of baptisms. There have been fewer funerals but a steady number of internment of ashes We have had three weddings this summer which have been well received by the couples and their families. Links with St Thomas, School and Haskayne Downholland St Thomas, school has received an outstanding rating in all areas from Otsted Haskayne Downholland has retained its good rating for now but needs to strengthen a number of areas of governance and its curriculum. Regular assemblies on a Wednesday morning at 9am at St Thomas and Monday afternoon at 2.45pm at Haskayne Messy church was tried at St Thomas school in the hall but has been suspended for now I continue to be concerned how little the schools connect to the church and how few pupils come to church and how few members of the congregation visit either school or volunteer in them
Children and Young people Confirmation was on Sunday 24 November by Bishop John. It was smaller than previous years with 15 pupils from St Thomas, and 1 from Downholland Haskayne school. We still need to develop something for children post confirmation to keep them engaged with church. Safeguarding There are no concerns but we still have a lot to do around paperwork and ensuring we have evidence that everyone is being kept safe. Safer recruitment is ongoing. We need job descriptions for all roles Noticeboards in church are up to date. l am incredibly grateful to Joan Rainford for all her work enabling safeguarding to progress in the parish. Fit for mission Has been challenging. The name of the larger single parish will be the parish of South West Lancashire. We will need to formally commit to moving forward with this by the end of May 2025. Finance, administration and safeguard leads are regularly meeting to share best practice and identify how to work together. The joint songs of praise and open invitation to attend services at St John's Burscough reflect an increase in collaboration. The next steps will be challenging but exciting. .Mlllenium Centre It is good to see this used more. We now have a fully plumbed in dishwasher in the kitchen. However it is tired and damp, with paint peeling in some places and some of the window frames are not in a good condition. Sadly it was flooded right at the end of 2024 and is currently out of action. Parish Administrator Stephannie Albertini resigned from her post at the end of November. There will be a review of the post and tasks before a new post is advertised. Finances Remain fragile - we need to seriously engage in generosity week, and fundraising. We can make ends meet but only by dipping into reserves and using fundraising to pay routine bills If we were able to meet our running costs from the congregation fundraising would mean we could reach out into the community more. For example we could provide a coach to bus school children to church for visits etc. More people need to give realistically via the PGS scheme ideally around £10 a week or £40 a month We need to simplify our bank accounts and move to a simpler income and expenditure way of producing the accounts from 2025
Legacy campaign around leaving money in a will (but only rf we can show it will be used for mission or fabric repairs and not paying the bills) It has been a busy year for St Thomas, and a lot has been achieved with the hard work of so many. l am incredibly grateful to Jean Cropper and Joan Cook for their support over the year. Also sincere thanks must go to Vera Ainsworth, who despite considerable personal pressure has maintained our accounts. l also need to thank everyone who enables us to worship week by week from Glen and David and until recently Alex leading to all the sidespeople, readers and intercessors who bring depth and meaning to all we do. Together we are the body of Christ and when we work together we are greater than the sum of the parts. Thank you. Church Buildin s and Pro During this year the church had its fi've year Quinquennial Inspection. The report again outlined once again that there is still the need of remedial work particularly in the tower where the plaster is crumbling on the walls the south aspect this is because the stained-glass windows continue to leak during heavy rain. The North wall is not as bad. All these problems will need to be addressed as soon as funds are available. The gutters had been cleared but they need to be addressed again together with a down spout that is leaking. The path around the Church is in need of repair. Although the report is not good things are better than first thought Changes have been made in the church and we now have an organ refurbished and played at services. All this was made possible by generous donations and fundraising. Screens have been fitted for use at seNices and are proving popular especially with children at All Age serViS. A Hand rail has been fitted on the steps leading from the Vestry Door in line with Health & Safety Instructions. Millennium Centre The boiler is in need of replacement but at present all is going well. Refurbishment of the main hall will be carried out when funds allow. There have been a few enquires to hire out the hall and this will be very helpful towards the funds Churchyard and Graveyard Volunteers continue to keep the areas clean and tidy; they remove dead and old floral tributes and weed where necessary also keeping hedges tidy, removing, and disposing of the rubbish all in their own time making the churchyard and graveyard a pastoral place of comfort and reflection for those whose loved ones are laid to rest. The PCC wish to record their very grateful thanks to all those who work so hard to maintain such a high stsndard...
Car Park The car park has had some attention and the holes filled in by the contractors working on the house next to the Vicarage arsd we are very grateful. Ob"ectives for 2025 Appoint a new part time parish administrative assistant Continue the process around fit for mission and the establishment of a larger single parish Move accounts to income and expenditure using my fund accounting software Complete the safeguarding dashboard and ensure we are working with the DI0Se around policies and procedures Have one open weekend around the theme of family to promote the work of the church To have a stronger presence on social media and the web To grow the number of regular worshippers at the main Sunday service to 55 adults each week. th Approved by the Parochial Church Council on the 27 April 2025 and signed onits behalf by: Chair to the PCC PCC Member
