8) Junior Church : We are grateful to Sophie for her work, and to Louis for organising rotas. Junior Church and Identity need more volunteers – and our numbers of children have meant most Sundays now we have had no Junior Church meeting. Playtots has kept going on Fridays.
9)Y oung People Many thanks to everyone for leading Identity on Sunday mornings -Lee & Marie Whitford, and all who support them. Thanks also to the team who have run Ignite on Friday evening - it has seen a growth in children attending
10 Adult fellowship/learning: Bible Study and prayer on zoom, have been a great strength for people during the year. Three evening groups meet and one afternoon group.

13 Foundation School –The Trustees (a charitable trust to support the
Christian education of children in St Budeaux) continue to be keen to develop the link between Church and School: thanks to Louis Tregonning our link worker. The Trust has become a CIO with a new name The St Budeaux Christian Education Trust. The school has joined First Federation Multi Academy Trust. Mrs Drage resigned as head after prolonged illness. Mrs Brooks is the new head.
14 Links with other churches : Churches in St Budeaux "Feast of Fun" has continued - great local initiative with local churches. Delivery of Christmas hampers to over 50 families is an amazing service. A Household Support Grant of £5000 was given to support families in need and fuel poverty and then a further £9000 and TPT also sponsored membership of fareshare food for Feat of fun. CTiP continues, as does the City Deanery.
15 The Churchyard : many thanks to John and Jackie Knapman for
coordination with the Probation Service who have done a great job. This is an enormous ongoing task.

- Treasurer Report see separate sheet Review 2022
2022 still bears the scars of Coronavirus lockdown
Changes to last year’s key points:
-
Sunday Worship numbers are difficult to analyse – we know why some are not returning, but many seem to have disengaged?
-
Livestreaming has enabled many to join in and proved a blessing to many
-
West Park plans to meet, greet, pray and share testimonies had to be postponed for another year.
-
We were granted a faculty for our plans to turn the vestry into an accessible toilet; make a servery (kitchenette) in the north aisle; remove the two back pews and one pew on the left at the front and two on the right to make flexible space and wheelchair access. We now need to find the money to make it all happen.
-
PCC agreed formally to follow up Bishop Nick’s proposal that we should explore forming a team ministry with St Philip and St Boniface.
-
Work with families through CAP and a Foodlarder and drop in on a Thursday morning and the ongoing delivery of food to some has been a significant development and is one of the most important things to foster.
-
Warm space started on a Wednesday afternoon
-
There is a regular search for people to fulfil some of the roles that keep everything going - but we also Celebrate the commitment, hard work and faithfulness of some of our amazing “volunteers” or “saints called to serve”
-
Common share was paid in full – against the run of ordinary expectation paying the common share in good time was a great joy to celebrate and the hall broke even too which is just wonderful. And 10% was given to charities/missions. Alleluia
Phill and Morag left during the year – well he was being ordained – and it was both a joy (congratulations and prayers for new ministry) and a sadness (much missed) to say farewell.
Points for urgent prayer at the beginning of 2023? children, youth and making new disciples ways of praying together
thanks and God’s blessing on Thursday Mornings, CAP
