Il• All Saints Liverpool GrowingGod'i Kirydom This report is made on behalf of the PCC of All Saints Liverpool for the APCM 2023. Reports from the other ministries are given in addition to this document. 2023 was another busy year for A11 Saints, and we acknowledge with gratitude the time and commitment given by 50 many, in so rnany different area5, some seen and many unseenl Working together in this way enables us to grow and to continue to become the place of sanctuary, justice, community and discipleship we seek to be. It was also On￿ again a year that brought yet again more change as we sought to appoint a new vicar at All Saints. This process began in earnest in January and in April interviews took place and Rev, Helen Purcell was appointed to the role. Helen's licensing took place at the end of April and was a day of celebration for all involved. At the beginning of May Mike began a well-earned sabbatical. and with our prayers and blessing stepped away from the everyday pressures and busyness of life at All Saints. A5though since Covid we recoBni5ed that our ministry had changed and developed in a different way. We also recognised that we conts'nued to struggle in some areas. Thi5 was particularly true in our work with children and young people. The combination of irregular numbers of children attending and the struggle to recruit volunteers for thi5 important ministry, meant that with great sadness we took the decision to close Sunday School. But we give our thanks to Ann Moore, Snezana Skovina, Lynda Langerhaizen who worked tirele551y to enable our children to learn what following Jesus was all about. As the year drew to a tlose. we secured funding to employ a part time Chikjren's worker and we are excited to see where this will take us. As a church family we continue to welcome many who seek asylum from countrles across the world. The experiences, diversity and energy they bring alongside the opportunity to learn from each other about God and Itfe is transforniational. Alongside this sharing God's love in our wider community wa5 once again evident throughout 2023. In addttion tothe regular ministry of New Horizons. Pardis and the CharFty Shop, the Hub also continued to be a place that was key providing a sanrtuary of help and care. We thdnk Greggs for their continued supply of food, enabling us to regularly give food to those who need wt. And thanks go to those who are inVo￿ed in o)Ilethng the food from Greggs or distributing it at the door, with a smile and a kinij word. We also thank Irene for giving her time every Friday to help those seeking support from the Foodbank. ln the summerwefurther expanded ournetwork of support, when aweekty Café began each Friday at the Parish Church. We pray that this ministry wll Erow and develop. In September we were blessed to be joined by Tery Burke, who will be with us for three years as part of his Ordination training. Terry has settled realty well into the ItFe of All Saints and we look forward to seelng hls minlstry devebp in the future. David Adah aEo continued his trdining With us, this year on a fuS1-time bas￿. Thi5 means he is able to devote time during the v4eÈk to getsng more involved in the day to day life of the chur£h. Christmas was a busy time. In addition to gNing food hampers out through New Horizon5. We also, connerted wfch local sthools to identify families that would go without this year. Over 20 families from both Phoenix and New Park schools We￿ pThided wlth gifts for the children and all the items needed to cook a famity Christmas Dinner. The schools were overwhelmed by the generostly of the All Saints family in providing this. Christmas also saw our first Christmas Community Celebration, an outdoor event held at the Worship Centre. This invohted. carol singin& Chrlstmas crafts, the opportunity to take 'selfie' at the Nativity. We were a150 joined by Santa, who provided over 75 Small gtft5 to the children. Thank you to all those who give their time tothis. we hope we can develop this event in the future. Providing opportunities for us to prdy together continued to be essential. Zoom prayers took place throughout the week and in person prayer5 in the Hub on a Thursday. We also met together on some Sunday evenings to pray into spectfic situations both worldwide and local. Our prayer lrfe whether corporate or individual is essential in underpinning all we do. In terrns of fillance, along with everyone else we are struggling to make ends meet. The rising cost of energy and everyday seryices has impacted our choices. However, we will continue to work through this together seeking wtys to ensure we are able to Sustain ihe ministry of the church as best we can. We continue to seek a Treasurer and would welcome conversation with anyone who may feel ￿lled to thi5 import role. As the cost-of-living crisis continues, we gNe thank5 forthe prackncal resour￿5 God has provided to enable us to be a support to those that need it. Gladly. loving people need5 no resources other than open hearts. and a willingness to see each other as Jesus does. We are blessed at All Saints to be rich in this resource and pray it will continue to be 50. We cannot end this report wtthout refiecling on the sad loss of Chrls Coates in Ortober 2023.

We've also completed badges such as "The World on Your Doorstep" The Trefoil Challenge" and "Woolly Sheep Challenge" They have provided us all with new learning experiences and given us lots of fun along the way. In May, some of our girls attended a PGL holiday with other members from across Merseyside. They all had a memorable time completing an assortment of outdoor challenges and having fun with new friends.

During 2023 we were delighted to welcome Racheal. We have managed to be more disciplined about regular practice and have tried to institute one per month which has enabled us to learn many more new worship songs. The invitation to come and see has also attracted members of the congregation to witness what Is involved in working on new music and we continue to encourage this. The use of a dedicated WhatsApp group has been enormously helpful in communication between ourselves and the leadership of the church not only in planning services but with the addition of some members dry humourll Also we would like to thank the computer operators who support US sometimes having to alter or re-type lyrics prior to the commencement of the service! The Music Group is always ready to receive new members who can commit to playing and singing regularly. Of course, they would need to talk with our church leadership prior to coming along to a Worship Group practice. The range of musical talent in the worship group is broad in scope but all members sing and play from their hearts and seek to lead and inspire our church family. Our aim is to strive to be more effective in leading worship. The church family acknowledges the willingness of all the members of the group who consistently give of their time and considerable talents each week. God bless you and thank you all. Ben, David, Tya, Sarah, Betty, Ann, Celine, Racheal and Pauline Diocese of Liverpool Liverpool North & Walton Deanery Synod Report 2023 The New Enlarged Deanery Synod and Deanery Leadership Team After voting for the merging of Walton deanery with our own we met together for the first time under our new title and various appointments were made: Bill Addy continues as our Area Dean Iwho is an S5M at St Nicolas) assisted by Rev Adam Maynard,. Mark Hedley and Barbara Moore (originally from Walton Deanery) were confirmed as Lay co-chair team. As a Deanery Synod we now represent many more churches and it was refreshing to hear some of the interesting initiatives and ideas adopted by the new members within this larger Deanery to further the gospel in the north of our city during the time of Parish reports. This time gave us an opportunity to understand the breadth and depth of our new friends from the Walton Deanery. Payment of Parish Share debate Plans to unify the running of the new deanery with regard to our Parish Share involve streamlining this payment. Both deaneries have previously done things slightly differently when it comes to the process of paying parish share so the new Deanery Leadership Team will put together a process to bring to Synod. DMGF forms have already been updated. Parishes are encouraged to apply to the fund. We would like to emphasise that all churches in the Liverpool North Deanery have met their parish share in full up to date. Aim for future development The aim for now is to get the new deanery working together. The new resource church remains our main project with the aim to reach the missing generations111-291. It is a really exciting opportunity that well benefits the whole deanery. Deanery Synod Representatives Jim Huthwaite and Pauline Tregilgas January-Dec 2023 Report on Cafe Parish Church Parish Church Cafe opens from 1-4pm every Friday. We serve Tea, Coffee, Hot Chocolate, Juice, a selection of savoury snacks, biscuits + soup. All 20p. We play taped music and on occasion a very gifted student plays classical piano for us. We had a day of Eco friendly fun with children collecting cones, a cricket and flowers and plants and making an insect den by the church entrance. th We held a Macmillan cake sale day 29 September 2023, and it attracted quite a lot of folk and funds for the cancer charity. We have a warm space and free wifi and are hoping to attract students too, We have a Prayer Tree on display with plenty of little notes to hang on it for prayer. We have singalongs together. We do crosswords from the Metro Papers which one of our customers regularly brings in for us. We do a bit of art work like doodling or drawing. History tours are often asked for.

The friendliness in the cafe has brought people to church services, 3 or more so far have stayed. We laugh a lot. And our regulars keep coming. Betty Stoddart, Veronica & Rod Evans, Marg & Joe Lunt ASK Shop Report from Ch- IDP 2023 Between January and December 2023 the foli shop: ing activities took place in the Easter colouring sheets (Easterl- For all children coming into the shop Easter Bunny Hunt IEaster)- For all children coming into the shop Warm Space (November and December)- offering free soup to anyone who wanted it on a Tuesday Coffee Drop-in {From November) - offering cups of tea/coffee to anyone who wanted a space to chat and feel less lonely, whenever we are open The shop is a safe, welcoming space in the community for all who come in and regardless of actual activities Iwhich rely heavily on volunteers something we have been struggling with), we always make time for our customers and know many of them quite well now. We have also had many displays aimed at popular themes throughout the year, especially Christian celebrations, and these have been well received by our customers and their children. Lisa Andradez New Horizons 2023 Chill Out A safe drop-in environment which welcomes everyone from different backgrounds and cultures within our community. The drop in is open every Monday from 10-12.30. we distribute food which is donated to us from Greggs and provide a warm and friendly space for people to share a cuppa and have a natter. During this time, we provide prayer, emotional support and will signpost to other agencies when necessary. we take the opportunity to share ministry and to introduce people to Jesus who may not necessarily attend our Sunday church services. it also provides a social aspect for people who are isolated, and they can come and socialise. New Horizons Is a God focused group and is held every Friday and is supported by myself and a group of volunteers. It provides a ministry focused teaching session and often personal testimonies from individuals about how Jesus has impacted their life and how following him has changed their own lives. We start with a teaching or testimony and then proceed to have a family style, homemade dinner where we get to break bread together and share in fellowship. Most of our members are suffering from addiction issues, mental health, homelessness, language barriers and other social deprivation issues. they are regularly accessing food bank help. This group enables them to explore their faith in a non-pressured environment whether they have given their life to Jesus or not. We also offer prayer ministry and support, and we welcome anyone who comes through the door. Helen Gallagher PANTRY helping you lave money on your food blll• ASK Pantry The Food Pantry has been doing well considering we haven't been receiving a lot of food to distribute as the cost of living has affected donations and the amount of surplus food available from Fareshare. The people that take advantage of the pantry have also been able to access help and advice from Law students who come on placements from Liverpool University plus advice from other organisations that com regularly on a drop-in basis. The volunteers are wonderful and very helpful. If you would like to volunteer please speak to one of us. Thank you, Celine Hay, on behalf of ASK Food Pantry. foodba Foodbank Report for AGM 2024 This past year has continued to be most challenging. Conditions at Harmonize Academy forced us to close down in August 2023 due to being overrun with mice despite our attempts at blocking holes in cupboards, keeping food in sealed boxes and constantly cleaning cupboards. Eventually, in mid-october, we resumed operations in our Church Building. This took a while to set up as adjustments to our building had to be made and Jim Huthwaite was most helpful in fitting a new light and lock on our storeroom door. Having obtained some new cupboards, Gerry Finnegan has put new locks and blocked holes in them to stop any further infestations. Demand continues to increase but unfortunately people are feeling the pinch and donations are not as plentiful as they used to be. We frequently find that we do not receive the full amount of stock ordered, due to shortages in the warehouse. It is thanks to the hard work of our volunteers, that we are able to continue this vital work. If anyone would like to volunteer, please contact me at All Saints. We operate every Saturday mornings, arriving at 9.15am to set up and unpack the deliveries. Our Foodbank is open to the public from 10am until 12 noon providing we have enough stock. Liz Mooney Foodbank Co-ordinator Suldes. Guides 2023 Report The Guides have had a busy year with a county fun day and a residential weekend away where we had a chance to try lots of adventurous and team building activities.
