VICAR’S REPORT

In looking back at the year of 2021, it was once again a challenging year, as we negotiated the changed landscape of our lives with the pandemic. However, what we saw during this last year was the shoots of recovery and growth as the vaccine effort took effect and we began to experience a degree of a return to a sense of normality, or rather (to use the well-worn phase) the ‘new normal’. As ever our focus during 2021 was how we live out our vision of Loving God Loving West Moors, and I hope within the pages of this report that comes out with an abundance, despite the difficult times we have lived through. Where to start in 2021? Well, there is no other place to start this report but with the retirement of our Diocesan Bishop, Nicholas Holtam in July 2021. Bishop Nick retired after a decade of service and will continue to be very much missed within the Diocese and West Moors. However, we have been blessed during the Vacancy in See with the care and support of Bishop Karen as acting Bishop. Our very own Gill Clarke took a central role in the Diocesan Vacancy in See Committee and then was elected on to the Crown Nomination Commission which met toward the end of the year. We here in West Moors were so proud of Gill representing the Diocese in this important role. The news for 2022 is of course that the Dean of Gloucester, Stephen Lake will become the 79th Bishop of Salisbury, being consecrated at Easter 2022, before being received into the Diocese during the summer. We are all especially proud that the new Bishop will visit West Moors in August to celebrate our Patronal Festival and 125 years of this church!

Our services over 2021, adapted and changed alongside the national and local situation and I am grateful to the Standing Committee for their support in sharing the burden of the various decisions that had to be taken, and will continue to have to be taken. This next phase as we move towards ‘living with Covid’ will be as complicated as everything that has preceded it, so much prayer and grace is needed! There have been significant steps forward along this journey, the end of the booking system, no more socially distanced seating, the return of singing and a choir, the return of the chalice (for those who wish to receive the wine) and of course not forgetting the wonderful sound and aroma of coffee being prepared after the service. During Advent it was so good to once again gather for mulled wine and mince pies after the services. Happy days and small steps forward! Some things have quite rightly not changed as we have moved forward in the last year – for instance the streaming of services has continued and provided an important source of comfort for those not able to attend church, and also a significant number of people who do not live in the immediate area. West Moors stretches far and wide! The months of restricted numbers at services would not have worked without the selfless dedication of Liz Bowler who kept the church open by co-ordinating a fair and efficient booking system and removing a huge burden from my shoulders. We all owe Liz a great debt of thanks. As the pandemic changed in nature, the need for the support of the Community Support Team dwindled, but their work during the early days of the pandemic is something I think we should be justly proud of, and I am profoundly grateful for the leadership of John Reid and Alan Butler and the work of the whole team. Within the restrictions of Covid, it has been a joy to return to visiting Brook View and lead a monthly hymn service. It was also good to gather once again at the Greenhouse Christian Centre for an Advent Quiet Day led by Lynne.

As ever I have been grateful for the ministerial support provided by Revd Lynne Morris and Revd Canon Alan Butler and our wonderful team of Lay Pastoral Assistants and Home Group leaders. In 2021 two our long-serving LPA team retired - Pam Prendergast and Dawn Beek - and we all have been so thankful for their love and care for many years. On All Saints Sunday I was able to announce that both myself and Deborah Matthews (Verwood) had been asked to jointly train a curate beginning at Petertide 2022, and we are looking forward to welcoming Michael Eaton to both benefices. Michael’s wife Kate is also taking a curacy in the Diocese, and she will serve her title post at Lilliput. Once again in this challenging year the support of the whole ministry team has been vital in keeping pastoral contact with our community and I thank them all for adapting with such dedication to the changing situation.

Our wonderful church community could not function without the love and dedication of so many people and especially in what has been such a challenging year. My thanks to our wonderful churchwardens Karen Clark and Louise Collins and their assistants Stuart Stebbing and Debbie Brown. At the APCM in May Paul Middleton stepped down as Churchwarden and we gave heartfelt thanks for his ministry amongst us. Also, I am so grateful for the support of Gill Clarke (Lay Chair of the PCC), Julie Hardman (Secretary), William Munn (Treasurer) and the whole PCC as we have navigated the last twelve months with honest, open and spirit-filled discussions. This last year has brought huge financial challenges to the parochial system, and we at St Mary’s are no different. In September we launched a Stewardship Campaign ‘Sustaining the Present, Supporting the Future’ alongside the Diocesan Generous Giving Campaign, to try and raise awareness of our own financial position and also the possibilities for engaging in planned giving. The response was extremely generous, and we are thankful to everyone who prayerful considered their giving in terms of time, talent and treasures. However, despite the campaign and the due diligence and care with which the Finance committee manages our budgets, there is no doubt that the coming years will continue to be challenging as we seek to make our contribution to the Diocesan share in full and maintain not only our ministry and mission in West Moors, but also our charitable giving to the wider community.

The PCC has maintained its statutory functions in terms of Safeguarding, through the hard work of Alex Clarke, our Parish Safeguarding Officer, who has responded promptly to an ever-changing landscape of advice.

All Saint’s Sunday was certainly a busy day, not only the announcement of Michael’s curacy with us, but also celebrating in the evening Valerie’s 35 years as organist here at St Mary’s. It was good to gather and give thanks for Valerie’s love and devotion to us all. Not only was it lovely to recognise Valerie’s long service to the church but in September Geraldine Cole was rewarded for all her many years of work with the Children’s Society by being given the ‘Volunteer of the Year Award.’ What a great recognition and so well deserved. As I have mentioned previously it has been a year of moving forward, the return of some much-loved occasions like gathering at the Petwyn for Remembrance Sunday and Carols, a Harvest Fayre, the Christmas Bazaar, and Messy Church. At the same time there have been new initiatives, particularly here I think of (h)ALL@4 the new monthly informal service which is already attracting new families to St Mary’s – thanks be to God! It was such a good feeling as well to return to a more familiar pattern of services for Holy Week and Advent, albeit with some adaptions needed to comply with Covid security and restrictions. Alongside these great seasons in the liturgical year, we have enjoyed some other special services like our Patronal Festival, St Benedict’s Day, Education Sunday, Safeguarding Sunday and Harvest (where respectively Roy Sewell, Alex Clarke and Tim Woodward were guest preachers). During Lent we as a church undertook as a study course, the Living in Love and Faith material produced by the Church of England to help churches engage with issues of sexuality, identity and gender. It was not easy material and I think that was reflected in the fact that we were one of the few churches in the Diocese that undertook the course. I was so proud of the way in which we as a church engaged prayerfully, lovingly, and respectfully with the material, and our commitment was recognised on a national level. Our Lent Charity in 2021 was Christians Against Poverty and the generous support of people raised a terrific amount.

We have been blessed to welcome a large number of new people to the St Mary’s family, some on the basis of watching services online and getting to know you has been a great joy. We also had a ‘baby’ boom in baptisms in 2021, with many children coming for baptism having had to delay due to Covid. Alongside this growth and new life, our Home Groups have flourished and started meeting again in person and I am so grateful for our Home Group leaders and their commitment to enhancing our spiritual and social life together. Inevitably there are always farewells over the course of the year, either through moving away or changed circumstances, or those dearly loved and remembered who have passed to glory. This year saw an unprecedented number of funerals taking place in the parish, which whilst of course was intensely sad, remained a huge privilege that we were able to walk alongside and hold the hands of those who were grieving and share the love of God with them. There is more later in this Annual Report about school ministry, and the relationship between church and school as one family remains a great joy. The initiative of the West Moors Food Group and the Sharing Shed are two aspects of our shared ministry to the community that I feel we should celebrate and give thanks to God for, and we pray that they continue to flourish. In the community St Mary’s has remained active and we have supported the Town Council in their sterling efforts to protect our beautiful village and indeed the planet. As part of our ‘Harvest Close to Home’ many of us took on the challenge of making one sustainable change to our lifestyles and those suggestions were used by the Town Council on one of their monthly Climate Change Tip bulletins. Some of us also have committed to the bi-monthly litter picks in the village. On an ecological note, I cannot forget to mention Hannah, Lola and Poppy our next-door neighbours who have encouraged us to recycle our crisp packets…the box fills up very quickly, so we obviously as a parish eat a lot of crisps! As a church we were nominated during 2021 for the Town Council’s Good Citizen Award. Around Pentecost

sweets were delivered to every business in the village to thanks them for their strength and courage over such difficult times.

On the fabric side, it has been a quieter year as we have spent time digesting the Quinquennial Inspection report. I would like to pay tribute to Paul Middleton for his wise stewardship of the Premises committee over many years. Paul has now stepped down from this role and we will miss his wisdom and guidance greatly. A small team at the end of the year did a great job in clearing out the loft and also relocating the flower team boxes for ease of use. During the year, the issue of rapidly diminishing space for the burial of cremated remains was considered by a sub-committee of the PCC. A proposed plan going forward was put to an extraordinary meeting of the PCC in November and approved unanimously by ballot. The background to this work and the plan going forward was conveyed to the wider congregation through the Parish Magazine. The Magazine, as ever wonderfully put together by Gill Clarke, is now being printed ‘in house’ which has produced significant financial savings whilst increasing the flexibility of distribution by both paper and electronic copies.

Our ministry to West Moors is a shared ministry and so with much love, I give thanks for the dedication of so many people, our organists, choir, servers, Sacristan, flower arrangers, hospitality teams, those who look after our beautiful church, fundraisers, those who manage our finances, those who keep us safe, Mother’s Union, Home Group leaders, youth and children leaders and helpers, and so many more. You are such faithful servants of the Gospel and are much appreciated.

My thanks to all those that support our ministry in this wonderful town, Adrian and Alison, and of course Becky and Isla who uncomplainingly support me. My ministry here could not flourish without all you wonderful people, and I am so grateful for your support, your prayers and your energy as we participate in God’s mission and as we Love God and Love West Moors. With love and prayers

God Bless

CHURCHWARDEN’S REPORT

The new Freedom!

This past year has seen our services being streamed live again from Church directly to our homes, now able to reach all our community and those further afield. With other acts of worship and prayer, and some meetings being on-line as well, and with the national lockdown now eased and our newfound freedom and the message we need to live with coronavirus like we do with flu.

Your Standing Committee have been busy monitoring safe procedures and always keeping in line with the government rules and as well as the Church of England guidelines we made the decision to move forward with the service earlier in the year, we have re-introduced singing in our services and welcomed back the choir but for people’s safety the choir have reserved pews at the front of the church. Your safety being paramount. We have also re introduced processing in and out of church with the cross which has been nice to see, we also have one or two servers situated back up at the altar, one to serve the chalice and the other the crucifer.

Thank to Gill Clarke our Lay Vice Chair for all her support and experience she brings, for the production of the magazine and for William Munn our treasurer and Noel Moss-Holland our Chair of Finance and who both have continued to manage the Church finances in these challenging times – we are very grateful for the time they both give keeping our finances in good order. Thanks also to our two assistant Churchwardens Debbie and Stuart for all they do to help with running of St Mary’s Church. Julie Hardman our PCC secretary for her hard work in recording the PCC meetings, dealing with correspondence and matters for the PCC. Mike Bowler for his work in running the covenanted giving and all the administration that goes with the Covenant Secretary’s role. Alex Clarke for all his work as the PCC Safeguarding officer who continues to attend meetings, write, and update our policies in line with legal requirements to keep us all informed. Liz Bowler for co-ordinating the coffee rota. Louise Collins for looking after our Church Hall bookings, the administration for our website and Facebook profile. Our Flower Team led by Elsie Harvey. We want to thank Valerie, Paul Barber and Cliff for their music and the challenges this presents with the current restrictions. Karen Mansfield our Electoral role officer and manager of the Rota. Thank you to Stuart Stebbing our PCC Health and Safety officer, Chris Wilson, and the fundraising committee for their efforts in producing fundraising ideas and events and the enjoyment they provided. Thank you, Nick Osborn, for your continued dedication to the cleaning, maintenance, and Churchyard gardening duties. The support of our PCC, our LPA’s, and all who volunteer and continue to serve on the rotas.

Our Home Groups have continued to stay connected and share in their discipleship. Our thanks to all the home group leaders and their guidance If you want to join one of our home groups, then please speak to one of the leaders or the co-ordinators s Gill Clarke and Chris Wilson or your churchwardens.

Charitable giving is central to our faith in trying to help others and although this year is proving to be tough financially, charitable giving continues with the people and causes these organisations support being very much in our prayers today and throughout the year.

We are grateful for Reverend Andy’s spiritual leadership and guidance and the resilience he shows during these times. For staying connected and spreading Christ’s love whether it be via live streamed services and prayer, acts of worship and support to St Marys First School, supporting the West Moors community through the sharing shed, COSMICS Plus, the weekly pew sheets, virtual or face to face meetings, calls, email, text and by bike. Thank you also Becky and Isla, for support for Andy and your kindness and friendliness to us all. Our thanks also to Reverend Lynne and Reverend Cannon Alan Butler for their support of Reverend Andy and their devotion.

The Parish Magazine continues to being produced in an electronic format. Printed copies are available, and some are delivered to those without email or internet access. If you have an article or something you wish to share, then please contact Gill Clarke.

Your churchwardens continue to take very seriously our responsibilities in looking after the fabric of our Church and ensuring that the administration and legal procedures are organised and effective. We could not do it without all your help and support so thank you everyone, it is much appreciated. With the restrictions eased we have now been able to conduct some work from the quinquennial report with the premises committee prioritising and categorising the works so we can get the urgent things completed.

This year the events committee have been able to bring back some fundraising, the Harvest Fayre which raised over £700, the Christmas bazaar which raised over £900 and hopefully going forward the concerts will go ahead.

We have also managed to open our Kitchen again but have had to adapt the kitchen rules to ensure we are keeping you safe by incorporating extra measures for COVID and Natasha’s Law. We have also had a clear out of the sheds and Loft, thank you to all those that helped and Nick for the use of his Van, again this could not be done without the generosity of you all.

We want to thank Paul Middleton for all he has contributed to our church life and Sarah and the girls for the support they gave him while he served on the PCC and for being the chair of the Premises committee, we wish Paul, Sarah, and the girls some well-deserved family time together. Thank you Peter Short for stepping up and agreeing to join the Premises Committee and chair future meetings and to Michael Yates for agreeing to type up the Premises minutes.

Let us look to the future hopefully being able to meet without restriction. In the meantime, stay safe everyone, help others, love God and Love West Moors.

CARBON NEUTRAL COMMITTEE

A meeting was held in the autumn where the data that had been obtained was viewed. This information was then submitted using the online tool.

The latest data was obtained in January, but as the online tool is not available at the moment, that information has not yet been submitted.

CHILDREN’S SOCIETY

Last year 2021 was again quite a challenging year for the Children’s Society but thankfully through general easing of restrictions we were able to proceed with nearly all of our usual type of fundraising. Happily, we are able to report we have added a new member from St Mary’s to our committee team. We held our AGM and first Committee meeting of 2021 on Zoom and thereafter we met in the Church Hall for our meetings after the 10.00 Eucharist on Wednesdays. We have met 4 times last year in person for those meetings. We are very pleased, as a committee, to have been able to do so and we wish to thank Revd Andy for allowing us to do so.

We were able to fundraise in our usual way, to a certain degree, post covid, with a stall in the Allendale Centre, Wimborne in May. The house boxes were collected in June, plus another stall held that same month in the Allendale Centre, Wimborne, followed by 2 more “Christmas” stalls in December.

In September we successfully held a mini tombola for The Children’s Society on the Minster Green during a fundraising event that Wimborne Minster were holding. The Wimborne in Bloom event took place in November where we also had 2 tables. Gill Ford our relationship manager for the Diocese visited us here at St Mary’s Church in October to give us an update on the work done by the Children’s Society during the pandemic and how they had given hope to many children and worked with them during this difficult time.

Christingles were held again during December in a covid-safe way in conjunction with St Mary’s School and our congregation here.

We are, as a committee, very grateful to St May’s Church for all their support they give us in our fundraising we carry out with a small but yet very committed committee.

Geraldine Cole

CHOIR

Unfortunately, due to Covid, I have very little to report regarding choir activities for the past year. For several months no singing was allowed, but now the choir are able to lead the congregation with Hymns once again and we will hope for better things to come in the months ahead.

Sadly, we have had to say goodbye to Joy Wye, as she has moved away. Joy has not only been a choir member for many years, but kept our music in order as well, so will be much missed by us all. The good news is that we have been able to welcome two new choir members, Liz Green and Peter Short, both who will be a valuable addition to our Choir. Valerie.

Valerie Robertson

CHURCH FLOWERS

Our numbers were down to just two flower arrangers during the year - a very busy time for Rosemary and myself. Very pleased to report we now have four new members who have joined us:Allison, Julie, John and a returning member Diana Bennett. We also have Helpers at Festivals, Veronica, Dawn and Doreen and I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for all their hard work. You may have noticed that we are using vases in Church, part of our effort to “Save the Planet”. Oasis is not biodegradable and Flower arrangers have been asked to reduce their use of this but, until a substitute is found we will continue to use it at Festivals. Our next task is the Easter Flowers.

Looking forward to another floral year,

Elsie Harvey

CHURCHES TOGETHER IN WEST MOORS

The pandemic has had a profound effect on Churches Together in West Moors, as it has had on many aspects of shared life. Sadly, CT did not meet during the pandemic and after the retirement of the previous chairs Angela and Bob Almond (which was marked by a Zoom call I organised), I decided to try and reform CT. As church leaders we have been meeting again since May 2021 and I agreed

to chair CT for a period of two years to get it off the ground again. We have agreed a common vision for CT which is:

‘Churches Together in West Moors’ is committed to our partnership in the Gospel as church leaders and representatives.

We seek to be a place of compassion where the well-being of church leaders and representatives is encouraged through mutual support.

We seek to be a place of mission where we work together as colleagues to further the good news of Jesus Christ in West Moors.

We seek to be a place of joy where we look for opportunities to reach out and witness together, through the sharing of Christ’s love with our community.

CT was represented at Remembrance and with the shared leading of Carols on the Petwyn. I was also able to organise a service to mark the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity at St Mary’s, which in my absence Gill Clarke brilliantly led. It is still early days for this new phase in our shared partnership in the Gospel and there is much to reflect on as we consider the role and mission of CT in our town.

Revd Andy

COMMUNITY & OUTREACH

Formerly known as the Charitable Giving group, it was agreed that the name be changed to Community and Outreach Group given the wider remit and its work.

THE SHARING SHED continues as ‘God’s own little miracle’ – regularly emptied of supplies then quietly restocked by persons unknown. The strapline – ‘No need to ask, no questions asked’, providing a safe place to go for help is a key principle. Year 4 pupils continue to help monitor stocks. We have also had generous contribution from the Bus Stop Club and regular donations from customers at Spar. - examples of growing partnership and collaboration in our community. We are very grateful to Paul Brealey for overseeing this work.

Collaboration with Sturts Farm and St Mary’s School has continued, with a successful Rogationtide event as part of a ‘growing food’ initiative. This involved a specially prepared liturgy with the children visiting four stations marking the points of the compass – an interpretation of the traditional ‘Beating the Bounds’. The four stations focused on the key areas of Creation Caring Compassion and Celebration. The event culminated with each child receiving an individual box of food, prepared by the catering staff at Sturts Farm, using their own home produce.

‘Harvest Close to Home’ was our Harvest theme this year with some of the contributions going to the Sharing Shed. As a way of extending the focus on food to cover the environmental impact there was a ‘Week’s Challenge’ with material provided to encourage people to consider where their food and other household supplies come from and encouraging people to ‘make a difference’ in reducing our carbon footprint.

It was unanimously agreed that the Multiple Sclerosis Centre at West Parley should be our chosen charity for Lent 2022. Deborah Trickett, accompanied by her sister Delia, came to speak at a Sunday 10am service, giving us an informative and inspirational insight into the work of the centre which depends entirely on charitable donations.

Further discussion about ways of reaching families and young people involved some consideration of a proposed new service on the first Sunday of each month – (h)ALL@4 – to be an informal gathering with coffee and cake and this is going well. Also, with a view to helping people with children feel comfortable in church, it was agreed that a space might be created around the pew adjacent to the font with appropriate toys and books.

Gill Clarke

COSMICS PLUS

Cosmics PLUS has continued throughout the last year, although sadly we have had to cancel some meetings because of the number of Covid cases in the schools and revert to meeting online. Whilst becoming very adept at cooking donuts, pizza and brownies in the microwave, we were able to have a lovely walk which of course ended up with the obligatory fish and chips, and also had a very enjoyable film night at Christmas with…of course pizza. For the Christmas Bazaar we were able to make some sweets to sell…fuelled of course by…pizza. The highlight of the year had to be in July when we met at the vicarage for some outside games, that ended with a monumental water fight. My thanks to Louise & Jason Collins and Becky for their support and enthusiasm…and forbearance of getting very wet!

DEANERY SYNOD REPORT

Deanery Synod meetings have continued on Zoom and have been very well attended. Topics have included environment and climate change, the diocesan Mission and Pastoral Plan and how we can engage with this in our local and deanery planning.

We were pleased to welcome Liz Ashmead, Diocesan Director of Finance and Jonathan Triffitt, Deputy Diocesan Secretary to the June meeting as we discussed finance and Generous Giving.

Lay Chair, Gillian Clarke also hosted a Zoom meeting with Lay representatives engaging in the consultation process about the needs of the diocese to be considered in the appointment of a new bishop. A summary of their views was submitted to the Vacancy in See committee.

Gill Clarke

DIOCESAN SYNOD REPORT

Diocesan Synod has met four times on Zoom during the past year with newly elected members meeting in person, whilst socially distanced, in Salisbury at the start of the new triennium with Rev’d Andy Muckle a re-elected member and Gillian Clarke re-elected Chair of the Diocesan House of Laity.

Items addressed at meetings during the year have included: Church life in the context of Covid; Net Zero; Living in Love and Faith; Lament to Action; Mixed Ecology and Fresh Expressions. An important focus has been the Mission and Pastoral Plan which sets out the aims of the Diocese to run in conjunction with the Financial Plan. The Plan sets out four priorities:

• New Paths to Mission and Ministry

Diocesan Synod has also focused on the challenging financial situation with a Generous Giving campaign. Detailed and informative documents were produced about the Diocesan Budget. These were widely circulated and provided the basis for open and direct discussion leading to a choice of options presented to synod which aimed to reduce some of the shortfall in the budget. The budget for 2022 includes a 5% increase in Parish Share. The diocese is currently reviewing the Fairer Share process; 72% of parishes, including St Mary’s engaged with this and Focus Groups are planned to further this review.

At the beginning of July, we said farewell to Bishop Nicholas as he and Helen retired after ten years’ dedicated service as Bishop of Salisbury.

The Vacancy in See committee was convened in February to begin the process of finding a new bishop and in May Gillian Clarke was one of six members from Salisbury elected to the Crown Nomination Commission. In January 2022 the diocese was delighted to announce that The Very Rev’d Stephen Lake, currently Dean of Gloucester Cathedral was to be the next Bishop of Salisbury. It is hoped that he will take up this role in early summer, following his consecration in Southwark cathedral after Easter…

Gill Clarke

FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT

The Finance committee met four times in the financial year 21-2022, two on Zoom meetings due to Covid regulations two in spaced Face to Face meetings. The Finance Committee Chair Noel and Treasurer William had conversations during this year in monitoring the financial position of St Mary’s PCC in what has been a difficult financial period for the second year running. The last 12 months has not allowed for hardly any fundraising events, the Church has been closed on another lockdown and restricted numbers visiting Church with Covid regulations which had a seriously affecting on financial position. We did last year manage some fundraising in the last quarter including a Christmas Bazaar

The church accounts for the financial year to 31.12.2021 showed an Operating shortfall of £12404, the second year we have been unable to cover our costs, which we were able to cover from reserves again, not a practice we can continue. In the Spring of 2021, a number of the Finance committee planned and ran a Stewardship campaign launched in September, the outcome from pledges made by the congregation is very positive. The ability to run fundraising again in 2022 we are confident we can return to a more stable financial position. The committee have set an almost balanced budget for this year, as covid restrictions have started to ease. We do have to be mindful that Parish share will rise at a rate of 4-6% per Ann for the next 5 years and with inflation at almost 6% on our costs will rise. Heating & Lighting costs remain a particular concern as they are to us all, with the Global price of Energy rising at extraordinary levels. Our current contract is due for renewal in the Autumn of this year. We have some Capital costs to fund as we work through the 2020 Quinquennial report repairs. We are blessed that none are particularly expensive and money put aside in previous years will allow these repairs to take place.

I would like to close by thanking all the members of the finance committee for the time and contribution to the management of St Mary’s church finances, especially William Munn our Treasurer and Mike Bowler our planned giving secretary.

Noel Moss-Holland

FUND RAISING REPORT

Fund Raising has been difficult over the year due to Covid restrictions. It was not possible to have social gatherings or concerts but, we were able to hold an Autumn Fayre and a Christmas Bazaar later in the year which helped raise valuable funds for our church. We were also able to enjoy some events on Zoom with a Gala Bingo evening, a Murder Mystery Evening and a Valentines Quiz, our other successful fund raising work, generated by Rev’d Andy was a Christmas Card and an Easter Cross photo video, both of which raised valuable funds for charity and our church. Lockdown provided us with the opportunity of planning new ways of fund raising. One was providing Memorial Plaques for the chairs in church. A faculty has been granted for this project and is now going ahead. Another proposal is to have a Lottery Club which is being planned

So, it’s been an eventful year with time to plan concerts and events for the coming year

Chris Wilson

(h)ALL@4

In November our new monthly informal service launched in the hall on the first Sunday of the month in the afternoon, and it has already proved popular, fun and spirit filled. The service is Café Church style and we have seen a number of new families (and some familiar faces) come along. The afternoon is designed to give the opportunity for worship for all ages and on all levels, prayerful, intellectual and kinaesthetic. I am very grateful to our fabulous music group of Paul Barber and Chris Wilson, who have taken the new service to heart with aplomb, learning new songs every month; and also to Isla (the IT (tech) girl), Becky (tea and coffee monitor) and Jan Cribben who has provided us with cake! If you haven’t been along so far…why not come along soon!

Revd Andy

HOME GROUPS

The past year has been difficult for meeting in our homes because of Covid. However, we were able to keep connected through meetings and social events on Zoom and some of us had social gatherings and coffee outdoors. This all helped to fulfil the purpose of Home Groups which is keeping in touch with one another on a regular basis. During the times we have been meeting we have been studying “Parables The Greatest Stories Ever Told” and also “Great Prayers of the Bible” At the Moment the groups are all able to meet face to face again.

The Groups are led by Chris Wilson. Monday evenings, Alyson Scott Monday evenings, Lynne Morris Tuesday evenings, Liz Bowler Tuesday evenings and Gill Clarke Wednesday evenings. These take place approximately once every two weeks. New Members are always welcome and after Easter we shall be starting a new course so now would be a good time to join. Please contact Revd Andy

LAY PASTORAL ASSISTANT MINISTRY

During 2021 we said farewell to two of our lovely team of LPAs after so many years’ service, namely Pam Prendergast and Dawn Beek. They were both thanked and presented with flowers at the APCM in May. The LPAs have adapted to the ever-changing demands of ministry during a pandemic, and it has been good to resume visiting and the distribution of Home Communion. The pandemic has reinforced the power of the simple phone call, and I am very grateful to the LPA team for the watchful

eye they keep on the more vulnerable amongst our church family and the community. They are such a dedicated and loving group of people. In 2022 we are hosting an LPA training course for the whole Deanery, and I am pleased to say we will have three candidates undertaking that course with a view to commissioning in September at the Minister. The LPA training course starts every session with the prayer of St Theresa of Avila, and it really does sum up the LPA role – Christ’s hands feet and eyes on earth.

Lord Jesus, teach us that you have no body now on earth but ours;

No hands but ours;

No feet but ours;

Ours are the eyes through which your compassion must look out upon the world; Ours are the feet with which you must go about doing good;

Ours are the hands with which you must bless men and women now; For your name’s sake. Amen.

MEDITATION

It has been good in the last year to return to Meditation in person (together with those joining on Zoom). We have been meeting in church and those on Zoom are part of the ‘circle’ using a strategically placed laptop! It has been great to find that time of rest and peace held in God’s love on a Saturday morning, and people appreciate the mixture of thought, prayer, poetry and silence. We stay behind for a cuppa and a chance to catch up and reflect. All are welcome to Meditation which takes place at 10am on the second Saturday of the month.

MESSY CHURCH

Messy Church restarted at Christmas 2021 after a long break with the pandemic. We decided to make some adaptions to the format, and these seemed to go really well, especially as it felt a little like starting afresh again. We deliberately changed the crafts to be self-directed and this meant that parents were much more involved in helping their children engage with the crafts, and also freed us as a team to sit and have conversations with the parents. We also decided with Covid-security in mind to change the food to cake and squash…and that was very well received. The numbers attending were good and it was a very enjoyable session. As we find our way forward into the future, we have decided to hold Messy Church on a quarterly basis, December, March, June and September. My grateful thanks to the Messy Church team of Isobel Dale, Chris Long, Becky and Isla.

MOTHERS’ UNION REPORT

The MU theme for 2021 was ‘Rebuilding Hope and Confidence’

The membership of our Mothers’ Union Group remains steady at twenty-four members, having welcomed Becky Muckle who was enrolled at our Zoomed Lent Communion Service in March. It has been another year when it has been difficult to plan anything in advance as so much has depended on the changing restrictions that have been in place due to the ongoing Covid pandemic. Thus, Zoom featured a lot in the year’s programme until restrictions eased and finally, we were able to meet in person again in September. By embracing Zoom we were able to hold our AGM and Communion in January, host the Deanery MU Wave of Prayer in February, hear about the Bishops’ Council from Gill Clarke in April and the theme of Pentecost from our then MU Diocesan President, Rosie Stiven. When restrictions allowed us to meet outdoors it was the weather that put paid to our planned walk and summer activities. In September, back in the Hall, we finally enjoyed the postponed talk from Revd. Andy ‘Vet to Vicar’ and heard about the wonderful work Paula Hunt and her team do at the local branch of Riding for the Disabled. The year ended with a discussion/planning evening in November and a very enjoyable shared Christmas Supper in December.

We have joined the Zoomed meetings of Spring and Autumn Councils and AGM, as well as various MU Diocesan services throughout the year. Members generously donated bags-full of Christmas gifts for the Women’s Refuge and these were taken to Salisbury prior to the 16 Days Activism Service Against Gender Based Violence in December. Our branch also took a ‘Welcome Pack’ for a family at the MU holiday home when it reopened for the summer holidays, with excess money donated being sent into the Holiday Fund.

I thank Revd Andy for all his support throughout the year, and all members for continuing to work quietly in the background to ‘rebuild hope and confidence’.

We go forward into 2022 with the theme ‘Transformation Now!’ as we continue to love and support one another and those in need.

PARISH MAGAZINE

The magazine continues in both digital and printed format. It is a source of information and interest and continues to be a method of outreach in the community. Thanks to Julie Hardman for delivering copies to shops in West Moors. Advertising has brought in over £1,000 income this year which means that the magazine now raises more money than it costs to produce, with profits contributing to further communications such as the church Advent card. Thanks to Revd Andy for his work on printing hard copies of the magazine.

PREMISES DEVELOPMENT

Since the last APCM the premises committee have been busy working on the quinquennial and the upkeep of the church and church yard. The committee was chaired by Paul Middleton and as you are all aware in January of this year Paul Middleton resigned. Going forward Peter Short has agreed to take on this roll. Thank you, Peter, also our thanks go to Michael Yates who has agreed to take on the role of Secretary for this committee.

Heating system in Church

The flaking of the paint on the covers in the sanctuary. This is an ongoing problem which Paul was working on and looking into with the original provider, however as this requires attention the

premises committee therefore decided that we would ask Richard Holmes to remove them so we can see if we can strip the paint off. Hopefully, you will see progress on this by next year APCM.

Kitchen

With Covid restrictions eased and now finished the Kitchen was re-opened, the water boiler was assessed but before the Kitchen could be used it needed a good clean. Thank you to Jan Cribben and Peter Short for your help in getting the Kitchen back functional.

Tree Planting

Due to Covid restrictions this was delayed and has been rescheduled for this Spring.

Lighting

A couple of units in the church hall have been replaced but more are to be done.

Church Security

There were concerns over the security of the main door, so an extra bar has been fitted so the door has been strengthened.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The church and church yard are being cleaned and maintained. The cleaning and general maintenance is done by Nick Osborn, thank you Nick for everything you do.

Fire Alarms and Extinguishers

Our emergency lighting and fire extinguishers are checked and serviced in line with statutory requirements and records are kept and maintained by the health and safety officer Stuart Stebbing. Thank you, Stuart, for keeping us all safe.

PAT Testing

There is a statutory requirement to have all our personal equipment in church tested. This includes kettles, toasters, extension leads, chargers etc. This was conducted on the 15th of November 2021 and the certification issued.

My thanks go to all the premisses committee: Reverend Andy, Noel Moss-Holland and Nick Osborn, Michael Yates, Peter Short for their dedication and hard work.

SAFEGUARDING REPORT

Safeguarding Policies

In September, the PCC reviewed and re-affirmed its adoption of the Diocesan recommended Safeguarding Policy. In November, we reviewed the Domestic Abuse Policy. In 2018, the PCC had adopted the then Salisbury Diocese Policy. This detailed document had been replaced on the Salisbury website by a much more succinct policy, similar to the national one for Safeguarding, mentioned above. The PCC agreed to replace the previous document with the new version. These policies are on display in the Hall and in the porch.

DBS Criminal Record Checks.

All our church members who require a check are up to date.

Safeguarding Sunday

On 10 October, Rev’d Andy invited me to give a talk in place of the sermon at the 8 and 10 o’clock services on the topic of Safeguarding. This covered a range of issues including the central place of safeguarding for all of us in ‘Loving God, Loving West Moors’, current issues, information available, including the open access to the Basic Safeguarding Training online via the Church of England website. Once again, I would like to thank Revd Andy and the PCC for their support in all matters relating to Safeguarding.

SCHOOL’S MINISTRY

The partnership of church and school has continued and flourished despite the effects and challenges of the pandemic. We share a common vision of reaching out to the community and that shared vision continues to inspire us as we seek to transform the lives of young people and families in our wonderful town. In 2020 we were blessed with numerous donations to support those in the community and so during this year, the funds and the process of helping those in need was formalised by the creation of a restricted Community Support Fund, held in the church accounts. The Fund is administered by the Community and Outreach Group (formerly known as Charitable Giving Committee), and we have set up a process for allocating those funds as needed.

The Sharing Shed (see the report elsewhere) has proved a great initiative between church and school, as has the formation of the West Moors Food Group (see separate report). Debbie Heritage (Diocesan advisor) visited the school twice this year and was extremely complementary of the church and school partnership. This was echoed by one of the Communications Team from the Diocese who responded to an article about the Sharing Shed by saying… “this is honestly one of the best parish-school stories I’ve worked on in nearly 13 years. I’m deeply moved by the vision, compassion, and richness of what you’re all doing.”

Once again, the Harvest collection was a joint effort between church and school and the giving was shared between the Salvation Army and the Sharing Shed. Whole school worship has proved difficult during the year, due to the effects of the pandemic. It cannot be underestimated what impact Covid has had on our young people’s experience of education in the last two years, and I am in awe of their resilience and the unfailing dedication of the school staff in making sure that their experience is as holistic and inspirational as is possible. The Leaver’s service was held in school and although only one

age group was able to join the leavers, it was a wonderfully uplifting celebration of their time at St Mary’s. We were able to gather together in church for a Harvest thanksgiving service, where to much amusement, Roy and I tried to feed ourselves with two-foot spoons! The Christingle service had to be changed because of the restrictions of working within school bubbles, but the Year 4’s admirably led a lovely act of worship in church. For the Christmas service, in order to have the whole school worshipping we went into the school playground to celebrate the Christmas story in word and song. Weekly collective worship has continued sometimes in person, at other times because of restrictions due to maintain bubbles by myself making a YouTube video which is shown to each class. For Remembrance we were able to gather again at the Petwyn and all three schools in West Moors were represented. The Christmas Carols on the Petwyn returned after the hiatus of 2020, and I asked each school to provide a group of singers and readers. Their superb reading and beautiful singing of ‘Away in a Manger’ I think really made the evening for the large crowd that assembled. I hope the sharing of the school newsletter by email keeps the sense of one family of school and church.

During the year I was pleased that Alex Clarke and Rosie Wand were appointed to the Local Governing Committee of the school and strengthen the Foundation Governor presence on the Committee. Hilary Jones stepped down as Governor, and we are grateful for her contribution to the school. I remain as vice-chair of Governors and Safeguarding Governor. As well as my role locally, I sit as a Trustee for the Heath Academy Trust (which includes St Mary’s and Oakhurst), alongside Isobel Dale. The role of a Trustee is a managemental role but is so important in ensuring an education for our young people that is inspirational and transformational. Our role on the Trust board also provides an important conduit between Trust, school and church.

Roy spoke on Education Sunday in church and once again his inspirational talk was extremely well received by everyone. Alongside all the above, pastoral support of both staff and pupils is an important part of school’s ministry and is a privilege that I take very seriously.

Revd Andy

SHARING SHED

One of the most important missional activities that was started in 2021 was The Sharing Shed. This is a joint project between school and church and is in essence a place where the community can donate and receive food. The Shed which is situated at the entrance to St Mary’s School has come from the respective visions of church and school - ‘Loving God Loving West Moors’ and ‘Believe in Better, for anything is possible with God’ in an effort to tackle food poverty in West Moors. The idea of the Shed came to myself and Roy during a brain-storming session in how we could tackle the embarrassment associated with food poverty. The idea of the Sharing Shed, is that it is a safe place where people can come and gift excess (non-perishable) food, but also more importantly take some away, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Shed is intended to be a true place of sharing where Christ’s love is shared with others, and hopefully the idea of sharing (giving when we have plenty, receiving when we don’t) has already overcome some of the difficulties people face in going to a recognised foodbank. This ethos of the Shed is encapsulated in its motto ‘No need to ask and no questions asked.’ The initiative has been a great success, with an enormous (and at times heartrending) turn-over of food. We have been very blessed by the angels who fill up the Shed when it is low (something I describe as God’s own miracle) and also the partnership with the Spar who placed a donation bin in the shop coming up to Christmas. The steady flow of donated food has kept the Shed flourishing, particularly during the festive season, when there was an extremely high turn-over. Alongside the Year 4s from school who are given a leadership role in checking the stock of the Shed, Paul Brealey has taken on the role of liaison with Spar and bringing the donations down and restocking the Shed. The Harvest giving was also shared between the Shed and the Salvation Army. The Shed developed its own Facebook page over the year and was featured in the Diocesan Grapevine newsletter and in the Stour and Avon Magazine. It is so pleasing that the Shed is having an impact on the community in its own quiet way.

TEA @ 3

It’s exactly 2 years since we all last got together, and we really miss all our friends. The good news is that, hopefully, we will resume Tea @ 3 in the summer. Watch the magazine for more information!! Blessings and see you all soon (hopefully!)

Mary Keegan, Jan Cribben and the Tea @ 3 team

STEWARDSHIP AND PLANNED GIVING

The Stewardship Campaign in September was a great success with over 50% of the forms returned,

a far higher percentage than expected; the figure for the Diocese is something in the region of 35%. The church finances benefitted by an increase in Planned Giving of 20% and this amounted to nearly £10k a year increase. Well done West Moors.

A word of caution though. We must not become complacent as the rise in prices that we are experiencing in our homes is reflected in the parish costs, so an annual review by each of us to see if we can increase our giving is most important.

Mike Bowler

TREASURER’S REPORT

2021 was another challenging year for our finances as we ended £12,000 down on the previous year. However, it should be noted that this was offset by a capital gain of about £9,000 on our investment fund. It should be noted that in the current year 2022 that the Issue with Ukraine has adversely affecting the markets and is causing inflation. During the year, our income again did not exceed the £100,000 a year, as has been the case in 2017, 2018, which included appeals, weddings and funerals. Our parish share has been increased by the diocese to almost £70,000 for the year. The budget for 2022 currently shows that our funds will drop by a further £2,000. This APCM report now includes the accounts information and I will not be issuing a separate document. Some of the items below refer to activities which are reported separately by those who have taken responsibility for them. If any of you require more accounts information please contact myself. (William Munn, Church treasurer 01202 897528) and I can supply you with the Auditor’s account sheets and the full December account sheets. (about 25 pages).

I continue to give thanks to our Lord that our financial position was not as dire as initially predicted and I give thanks and praise to our Lord and to you all for your support.

WEST MOORS FOOD GROUP

West Moors Food Group is the fledgling partnership between church, school, and Sturts Farm. We formed this initiative during 2021 to look at food poverty and education in West Moors. The first event of the group was to hold a Rogationtide festival at school where we prayed and reflected on the four C’s of Creation, Caring, Compassion and Celebration as each class travelled around the four compass points of the school grounds. This was followed by each child receiving food grown and prepared at Sturts Farm so they could see the whole process of creation through to celebration. It was a fantastic event and very well received by the children (and the adults!). Sadly, our next planned event had to be curtailed because of Covid. We see the West Moors Food Group as a mutually collaborative partnership which expands beyond food education to how we interact in the community on a wider level, for instance during the year Roy and I both supported Sturts in looking to improve their access to the Farm Shop. As a group we have many ideas that are floating around, both practical and spiritual, and we look forward to seeing where this partnership leads.

Revd Andy

And…THANK YOU!

Thank you to all that have submitted reports of the activities of our church family in 2021. There are also many other areas of our church life which are unrecorded here, some of which have continued unabated, some of which have had to adapt and change due to the pandemic. I think of the serving team, chalice administrators, cleaners, those on the coffee rota, those who bakes cakes for so many occasions, the work of our Sacristan, those who read and lead intercessions, the music group, and many others, and I am sorry if I have missed anyone out. As ever your contribution to our shared ministry is much valued, so thank you to you all for your ministry and love as we seek to be St Mary’s Parish Church, Loving God, Loving West Moors.

Chair of PCC's Report

In looking back at the year of 2021, it was once again a challenging year, as we negotiated the changed landscape of our lives with the pandemic. However, what we saw during this last year was the shoots of recovery and growth as the vaccine effort took effect and we began to experience a degree of a return to a sense of normality, or rather (to use the well-worn phase) the ‘new normal’. As ever our focus during 2021 was how we live out our vision of Loving God Loving West Moors, and I hope within the pages of this report that comes out with an abundance, despite the difficult times we have lived through.

Where to start in 2021? Well, there is no other place to start this report but with the retirement of our Diocesan Bishop, Nicholas Holtam in July 2021. Bishop Nick retired after a decade of service and will continue to be very much missed within the Diocese and West Moors. However, we have been blessed during the Vacancy in See with the care and support of Bishop Karen as acting Bishop. Our very own Gill Clarke took a central role in the Diocesan Vacancy in See Committee and then was elected on to the Crown Nomination Commission which met toward the end of the year. We here in West Moors were so proud of Gill representing the Diocese in this important role. The news for 2022 is of course that the Dean of Gloucester, Stephen Lake will become the 79th Bishop of Salisbury, being consecrated at Easter 2022, before being received into the Diocese during the summer. We are all especially proud that the new Bishop will visit West Moors in August to celebrate our Patronal Festival and 125 years of this church!

Chair of PCC's report (continued}

Our services over 2021, adapted and changed alongside the national and local situation and I am grateful to the Standing Committee for their support in sharing the burden of the various decisions that had to be taken, and will continue to have to be taken. This next phase as we move towards ‘living with Covid’ will be as complicated as everything that has preceded it, so much prayer and grace is needed! There have been significant steps forward along this journey, the end of the booking system, no more socially distanced seating, the return of singing and a choir, the return of the chalice (for those who wish to receive the wine) and of course not forgetting the wonderful sound and aroma of coffee being prepared after the service. During Advent it was so good to once again gather for mulled wine and mince pies after the services. Happy days and small steps forward! Some things have quite rightly not changed as we have moved forward in the last year – for instance the streaming of services has continued and provided an important source of comfort for those not able to attend church, and also a significant number of people who do not live in the immediate area. West Moors stretches far and wide! The months of restricted numbers at services would not have worked without the selfless dedication of Liz Bowler who kept the church open by co-ordinating a fair and efficient booking system and removing a huge burden from my shoulders. We all owe Liz a great debt of thanks. As the pandemic changed in nature, the need for the support of the Community Support Team dwindled, but their work during the early days of the pandemic is something I think we should be justly proud of, and I am profoundly grateful for the leadership of John Reid and Alan Butler and the work of the whole team. Within the restrictions of Covid, it has been a joy to return to visiting Brook View and lead a monthly hymn service. It was also good to gather once again at the Greenhouse Christian Centre for an Advent Quiet Day led by Lynne.

As ever I have been grateful for the ministerial support provided by Revd Lynne Morris and Revd Canon Alan Butler and our wonderful team of Lay Pastoral Assistants and Home Group leaders. In 2021 two our long-serving LPA team retired - Pam Prendergast and Dawn Beek - and we all have been so thankful for their love and care for many years. On All Saints Sunday I was able to announce that both myself and Deborah Matthews (Verwood) had been asked to jointly train a curate beginning at Petertide 2022, and we are looking forward to welcoming Michael Eaton to both benefices. Michael’s wife Kate is also taking a curacy in the Diocese, and she will serve her title post at Lilliput. Once again in this challenging year the support of the whole ministry team has been vital in keeping pastoral contact with our community and I thank them all for adapting with such dedication to the changing situation.

Our wonderful church community could not function without the love and dedication of so many people and especially in what has been such a challenging year. My thanks to our wonderful churchwardens Karen Clark and Louise Collins and their assistants Stuart Stebbing and Debbie Brown. At the APCM in May Paul Middleton stepped down as Churchwarden and we gave heartfelt thanks for his ministry amongst us. Also, I am so grateful for the support of Gill Clarke (Lay Chair of the PCC), Julie Hardman (Secretary), William Munn (Treasurer) and the whole PCC as we have navigated the last twelve months with honest, open and spirit-filled discussions. This last year has brought huge financial challenges to the parochial system, and we at St Mary’s are no different. In September we launched a Stewardship Campaign ‘Sustaining the Present, Supporting the Future’ alongside the Diocesan Generous Giving Campaign, to try and raise awareness of our own financial position and also the possibilities for engaging in planned giving. The response was extremely generous, and we are thankful to everyone who prayerful considered their giving in terms of time, talent and treasures. However, despite the campaign and the due diligence and care with which the Finance committee manages our budgets, there is no doubt that the coming years will continue to be challenging as we seek to make our contribution to the Diocesan share in full and maintain not only our ministry and mission in West Moors, but also our charitable giving to the wider community. The PCC has maintained its statutory functions in terms of Safeguarding, through the hard work of Alex Clarke, our Parish Safeguarding Officer, who has responded promptly to an everchanging landscape of advice.

All Saint’s Sunday was certainly a busy day, not only the announcement of Michael’s curacy with us, but also celebrating in the evening Valerie’s 35 years as organist here at St Mary’s. It was good to gather and give thanks for Valerie’s love and devotion to us all. As I have mentioned previously it has been a year of moving forward, the return of some much-loved occasions like gathering at the Petwyn for Remembrance Sunday and Carols, a Harvest Fayre, the Christmas Bazaar, and Messy Church. At the same time there have been new initiatives, particularly here I think of (h)ALL@4 the new monthly informal service which is already attracting new families to St Mary’s – thanks be to God! It was such a good feeling as well to return to a more familiar pattern of services for Holy Week and Advent, albeit with some adaptions needed to comply with Covid security and restrictions.

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST MARY THE VIRGIN, WEST MOORS

Chair of PCC's report (continued}

Alongside these great seasons in the liturgical year, we have enjoyed some other special services like our Patronal Festival, St Benedict’s Day, Education Sunday, Safeguarding Sunday and Harvest (where respectively Roy Sewell, Alex Clarke and Tim Woodward were guest preachers). During Lent we as a church undertook as a study course, the Living in Love and Faith material produced by the Church of England to help churches engage with issues of sexuality, identity and gender. It was not easy material and I think that was reflected in the fact that we were one of the few churches in the Diocese that undertook the course. I was so proud of the way in which we as a church engaged prayerfully, lovingly, and respectfully with the material, and our commitment was recognised on a national level. Our Lent Charity in 2021 was Christians Against Poverty and the generous support of people raised a terrific amount.

We have been blessed to welcome a large number of new people to the St Mary’s family, some on the basis of watching services online and getting to know you has been a great joy. We also had a ‘baby’ boom in baptisms in 2021, with many children coming for baptism having had to delay due to Covid. Alongside this growth and new life, our Home Groups have flourished and started meeting again in person and I am so grateful for our Home Group leaders and their commitment to enhancing our spiritual and social life together. Inevitably there are always farewells over the course of the year, either through moving away or changed circumstances, or those dearly loved and remembered who have passed to glory. This year saw an unprecedented number of funerals taking place in the parish, which whilst of course was intensely sad, remained a huge privilege that we were able to walk alongside and hold the hands of those who were grieving and share the love of God with them.

There is more later in this Annual Report about school ministry, and the relationship between church and school as one family remains a great joy. The initiative of the West Moors Food Group and the Sharing Shed are two aspects of our shared ministry to the community that I feel we should celebrate and give thanks to God for, and we pray that they continue to flourish. In the community St Mary’s has remained active and we have supported the Town Council in their sterling efforts to protect our beautiful village and indeed the planet. As part of our ‘Harvest Close to Home’ many of us took on the challenge of making one sustainable change to our lifestyles and those suggestions were used by the Town Council on one of their monthly Climate Change Tip bulletins. Some of us also have committed to the bi-monthly litter picks in the village. On an ecological note, I cannot forget to mention Hannah, Lola and Poppy our next-door neighbours who have encouraged us to recycle our crisp packets…the box fills up very quickly, so we obviously as a parish eat a lot of crisps! As a church we were nominated during 2021 for the Town Council’s Good Citizen Award. Around Pentecost sweets were delivered to every business in the village to thanks them for their strength and courage over such difficult times.

On the fabric side, it has been a quieter year as we have spent time digesting the Quinquennial Inspection report. I would like to pay tribute to Paul Middleton for his wise stewardship of the Premises committee over many years. Paul has now stepped down from this role and we will miss his wisdom and guidance greatly. A small team at the end of the year did a great job in clearing out the loft and also relocating the flower team boxes for ease of use. During the year, the issue of rapidly diminishing space for the burial of cremated remains was considered by a sub-committee of the PCC. A proposed plan going forward was put to an extraordinary meeting of the PCC in November and approved unanimously by ballot. The background to this work and the plan going forward was conveyed to the wider congregation through the Parish Magazine. The Magazine, as ever wonderfully put together by Gill Clarke, is now being printed ‘in house’ which has produced significant financial savings whilst increasing the flexibility of distribution by both paper and electronic copies. Our ministry to West Moors is a shared ministry and so with much love, I give thanks for the dedication of so many people, our organists, choir, servers, Sacristan, flower arrangers, hospitality teams, those who look after our beautiful church, fundraisers, those who manage our finances, those who keep us safe, Mother’s Union, Home Group leaders, youth and children leaders and helpers, and so many more. You are such faithful servants of the Gospel and are much appreciated.

My thanks to all those that support our ministry in this wonderful town, Adrian and Alison, and of course Becky and Isla who uncomplainingly support me. My ministry here could not flourish without all you wonderful people, and I am so grateful for your support, your prayers and your energy as we participate in God’s mission and as we Love God and Love West Moors.

6 RESERVES POLICY

The PCC's policy is to maintain sufficient reserves to enable the council's continued operation in the event of the temporary loss of use of the Church for any reason. With particular reference to potential costs of maintaining the fabric of the Church, the Council considers that the reserves held are adequate but not excessive.
