Achievements and Performance (Note 2024 figures in Brackets) Electoral Roll and Church Attendance

There were 124 (120) on the Church Electoral Roll on 31 Dec 2024

The average weekly Sunday attendance at St Michael’s morning service was 63 (65) adults plus 14 (13) children. The average attendance at the midweek service was 28 (29). The average attendance at “The 4 O’clock “ service was 20 (23).

128 (136) people attended the Easter Sunday service (97 Communicants.) The total number of people attending worship (including communicants) at services on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day was 292. Carols by Candlelight was a great success again this year with extra chairs needed to be put out.

The Statistics For Mission return for 2024 recorded a “Worshiping Community” of 144 (119). This is the number of people (adults and children) who attended worship in church at least once a month during the year.

There were 10 (20) baptisms during 2024 . 1 (3) marriage was held in St Michale’s and there were 7 (4) funerals held in church plus 1 conducted at crematoria by members of the ministry team. There were 6 (5) burials of ashes in the church yard.

St Gabriel’s: an Agape meal was held on Maundy Thursday and an Advent Sunday service was held there. Regular prayer takes place there every fortnight.

We have held monthly services at Dorset House and at Upton Bay Care home.

Review of the Year

The PCC met 6 times during the year with an average attendance of 86% (77%). Committees have met between meetings and have reported to the full PCC.

Matters discussed have included:

The re-ordering faculty was approved and a plan for the work was set to remove the pews and replace them with chairs and how to celebrate the completion of this long process. The successful Ofsted inspection of St Gabriel’s Pre-school with thanks being sent to the staff involved.

Safeguarding within the Churches has been a priority for the PCC with the Safeguarding Action Plan completed and a review of the policies. Tracey Lee our Safeguarding Officer has worked hard to ensure we are where we should be.

A fire drill was conducted at a PCC and then a discussion of the procedures followed. The Church of England’s approval of the “Living in Love and Faith “ prayers for same sex couples were also discussed.

Regular work parties have helped keep the churchyards tidy and we are thankful to Brian Masters and Robert Stickland who have cared so well for the New Churchyard.

We supported the wider work of the church including The Children’s Society, The Bible Society, WAU, MAF, Open Doors and locally Routes to Roots. The Missions giving budget for 2024 was £7,400 (10% of giving received in 2023).

Two Alpha courses were run during the early part of the year, a Youth Alpha which combined two of our youth groups and a separate adult Alpha course. Very positive encouragement from both groups.

Ruth Peers joined us in July 2024 as a curate in training and has been a great addition to our team. Ruth has got involved in Moor Community Food, has built great links with St Gabriel’s Pre-school and been involved in “ The Wednesday Thing”.

The toddler group on a Monday “ Little Acorns” has grown significantly this last year with numbers increasing from 5 a week to regularly 15-20. Ashely has done a great job here encouraging new leaders as well as introducing a new picnic and prayer session.

The Green Team, a group of regular volunteers, seek to improve our “ green” credentials and to continue to improve and maintain Bluebell Community Wood.

Thanks to Jo Maybury for her organisation and overseeing of the re-ordering work in church: this was a huge task . Thanks also to her team for all their hard work in completing the reordering within a small timescale once it was all agreed.

Finally, a huge thanks to Tess for all her hard work in driving the church forward, in challenging us to be the best followers of Jesus and God that we can, in helping to nurture our individual gifts and for keeping God at the forefront of our minds in all that we do.
