## **OUR VISION STATEMENT** 

## **We are a welcoming community, loving and worshipping Jesus and expressing His message in ways that are attractive and accessible to all.** 


**Emerging from the Pandemic with a positive outlook, embracing a new future – Canon Andrew** 

2021 was another challenging year but our shared life began to open again as the vaccine programme was rolled out and the restrictions on our operation were gradually removed. The Pandemic provided an opportunity for all churches to do some soul searching, and to ask whether, when it was all over, we wanted to go back to doing things as we had before we had ever heard of Covid. These 4 questions helped us shape our thinking: 

In the pandemic: 

- What have we lost we value? 

- What have we lost that we don’t need? 

- What have we gained that is just for this season? 

- What have we gained that we want to keep? 

We were clear that the things we had lost that we valued were singing, hugging (because we have for long been a hugging church), prayer with the laying on of hands and we longed for the day when we no longer needed the masks, or to sit in socially distanced seats. 

We were not convinced that we needed to put all the monthly services back as before and we wanted to be open to different ways of thinking about our times of worship together that might help a whole raft of new people find God for themselves. 

The video services on YouTube seem to have been ‘just for the season’ but we have tried to put up other content on YouTube that of its nature is shorter and more easily shared by social media. 



Outdoor church was something we gained that we wanted to keep. Being outdoors suited not just younger families but all sorts of people. The style was relaxed, very relational, encouraging everybody’s contributions and God encounters - and always with an underlying eco ethos. Online we moved from pre-recorded YouTube services to the more interactive Zoom format with a pre-recorded sermon. The Zoomers liked to discuss the sermon and to pray into the matters it raised. The Zoom community bonded. After a long fight with BT we finally had Wi-Fi installed in St K in the autumn, and it became possible to connect the Zoomers to the live service indoors. Allowing the Zoomers to have opportunity to discuss the sermon seemed an important element to hold onto. 

Having three 10.30 services has been challenging at times and there were moments when we have felt that we were stretched rather thin! But God has been in it and the Outdoor, the Zoom and the Indoor have all grown numerically. With all our usual rotas abandoned in lockdown, it has proved hard to find folks to serve in readings, prayers, refreshments, sound desk, and welcomers. This has largely been due to the fact that two thirds of the congregation have been in the other two services, so there is a smaller pool to fish from. 

Going forward, we want to hold onto what is good, but to avoid becoming three separate congregations. Having Zoom connected to the indoor service by Wi-Fi has helped. Café church has proved very popular, and again is bringing new people in. We are moving towards combining Indoor and Outdoor on the 1[st] and 3[rd] Sundays and running Outdoor church only on the 2[nd] and 4[th] Sundays. 

The once-a-month evening Revival Service is proving popular and is maybe a replacement for what we used to do under the Gateway banner. Monthly Evensong has also returned at the earlier time of 16:00 followed by tea and cake. 

None of this is written in stone, and the idea is to continue to be guided by God as to what he wants as St K grows and develops. 

In all this it feels like we used the opportunity to take a step forward rather than a step backwards. 

## **Music and Worship report from Ben Jarvis** 

This year we have been free to sing in church again! There have been some seasons when worshippers have had to wear masks (challenging for singing), but now we seem to be free to make some proper noise again. ‘Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands’, long may it continue! 

From the summer of 2021 our group has gained some new and enthusiastic members, this has been a blessing. We continue to meet regularly for preparation, fellowship, and prayer. We find that reading scripture at our meetings helps to keep our focus right. 

We had some good Christmas opportunities, including the chance to get some singers together, lead a carol service, welcome a guest choir, and sing around the village. 

Along with leading singing inside and out, the music ministry continues to be responsible for running the audio-visual system. Pete Waterman moving away was a big loss, creating quite a vacuum to fill. And since the beginning of 2022, we have also been getting to grips with zoom capabilities. Special mention to Harvey Bennett, Beth Evans, Will Jones, Ian Firth, and Andy Bennetts – all of which have made delivering our current model(s) of church possible. Others are now in the pipeline for training as well. Thank you all. 

We are in a season of rebuilding. This involves looking at our underlying values and building a more carefully curated repertoire (from the ground up). We are looking to establish a body of confident songs, less random and less whimsical, from which we can move away from technical challenges and distractions. We hope this will strengthen our ability to lead songs, full of truth and joy, pleasing to God, and with which the congregation feels comfortable, happy, and free to worship. It is a new start. 



## **St. Katharine’s Youth (SKY) report from Harvey Bennett and Rob Jackson** 

In the summer of 2021 as we began to re-open from lockdown, we asked the parents and young people of St. Katharine’s church about the church Youth Ministry, particularly what they would like to see happening. In response to those discussions, St. Katharine’s Youth (SKY) which meets fortnightly on Friday evenings was re-started in September 2021 with a new team of leaders from within the church family. Over the last seven months the number of young people attending on a Friday night has steadily increased and in February 2022, with an aim of supporting our Y6 young people in the benefice in their journey into secondary school, we liaised with the local schools (Holt & Broughton Gifford Primary) to invite their Y6’s to Sky. To our absolute delight, we had seventeen young people attend on the 4[th] March session with eight being Y6’s from Holt Primary. The feedback from young people and parents was overwhelmingly positive with two Y6’s commenting “it’s been way better than we expected, we are definitely coming again”. 

Over the last seven months, SKY has provided a valuable and precious space in which the young people of St. Katharine’s, as well as the village and further afield, can gather together in a safe space to socialise. We transform the church into a ‘cafe-style space’ with the table tennis table and the Wii proving particularly popular. We have, in response to 4 of our young people suggesting ideas for how we could make Sky less like a church building, provided a ‘snug’ area with sofas, cushions, comfy chairs, lights and plants which is proving popular within the wider activities of the church (Parents who come to TinyTots have been amazed at the snug being a ‘youth led’ initiative) and have also enjoyed using the ‘snug’ for their weekly session. Recently, coinciding with our growing number of volunteer leaders, the young people have had the opportunity to take part in craft activities. 

As well as providing over an hour of entertainment for our young people, we also have a short segment as a group that aims to develop Godly perspectives by addressing issues such as love, friendship, guilt, forgiveness and perfectionism, and relating them to our faith. In this we hope that we can give the opportunity for every single young person to hear about how Jesus influences our perspectives on societal difficulties, and we hope, by sharing our own journey of faith, to encourage them to live their lives with Godly perspectives in mind. 

In the coming weeks we will be adding another segment to our Friday nights – an extra half an hour of optional teaching after SKY where we will look deeper into faith and the bible. At SKY we want to create a space in which young people can socialise in community and escape, but we are also desperate for our young people to hear the Good News. We understand that this can be difficult, especially as a lot of them do not attend church and do not live in households that have faith. We want to be open with our youth and not force them into anything they're uncomfortable with and therefore we think this extra half an hour, to go alongside the short segment during SKY, could provide deeper faith-based teaching to those who are really interested. 

Youth Ministry Vision: 

- To provide a safe space in which young people can be in fellowship and community with one another. 

- To encourage our young people in their daily lives with societal issues and struggles in mind. 

- To guide our young people in showing love (The way Jesus did) – encouraging one another and the people they meet. 

- To give every young person the opportunity to hear about, learn about, and know Jesus. 

- To provide an opportunity for young people to talk & share about their own life / faith journey. 



- To ensure that each young person knows that they are deeply loved by God and how they can access his love. 

- To equip our young people as they grow in age and faith so that they can live their lives in a relationship with God, to be guided by Him and spread the Good News to the people around them. 

SKY has been an answer to prayer for many of us who are passionate about providing for our young people in church. We know that there is more we can do to provide for _**all**_ of our young people, but we have been greatly encouraged by the work God has done over the last seven months. We have many ideas as to the type of activities and events SKY can be involved with in the future and we have also spoken about training & developmental needs. There are so many village, local and regionally opportunities for SKY but first and foremost, as we grow in relationship with one another, we will continue to look to God for his guidance. We look forward to seeing where God will take St. Katharine’s Youth in the future, and we’re excited by the endless possibilities. Please uphold SKY’s leaders and youth in your prayers (especially on alternate Friday evenings) as we continue to grow. 

## **Lay Pastoral Assistants report from Rachel Firth** 

This year has continued to be challenging for us all, and whilst continuing to give regular pastoral support to people in the Benefice, some of the LPA's have had considerable personal challenges health wise, combined with the impact of personal bereavements. We are down to five team members, so are looking for more recruits, including men, to swell the ranks! Despite all this, the core team continue to support those in need with visits, telephone support, prayer, meals, practical advice, and help. They are an integral part of the Remembering a Loved One service team, by providing a lovely tea and a pastoral presence, which really adds to the welcoming atmosphere of the service. They are looking to pick up more of an active role in nurturing the relationship with non-churched families that come to have their children baptised. 

## **St K Out and About in the village** 

It is difficult to sum up the interactions in village life by members of St K because there are so many of them, and most go unnoticed and unacknowledged. But it would be good to mention a few… 

The work of our LPAs as noted above give support to many. It was great to again play an active role in the Advent Windows and Holt Scarecrow Trail. 





Carol singing round the village brought some welcome Christmas cheer especially when the Omicron variant had made things difficult again. We were able to welcome some new village residents with a carol when we sung in the Tannery development. The Nativity on the Ham Green with donkey was back by popular demand, and by virtue of Covid restrictions. It seems likely that we will continue this instead of our indoor crib service, as the new idea seems to be a good connection, (and the shelter on the green does make a Christmas card perfect Bethlehem stable!) 

We provided a bank account for the Help in Holt appeal to provide Christmas cheer to those who needed a little extra help. 


Tim and Joy Mason started a lunch in the village hall and the Rector even volunteered to cook one of the lunches! 

We also opened the church on Thursday mornings for coffee for part of the year. 

## **Communications** 

Social media is now a vital part of the way we connect with our church members and with our villages. It is a platform for getting the message out, communicating points of interest.  It provides an opportunity to show the wider world that we are an active church, interested in our communities and concerned about topics that they value. 

During 2021 various social media posts have been uploaded by the team including fund raising events at the schools, advent and scarecrow trails taking place in the village, services taking place and a huge effort to communicate about the Christmas services last year, concerts, the churches being open for call in for coffee, Eco Church, the celebration of life events including weddings and baptisms, and so much more.  If you have not already done so and have a Facebook or Instagram account, please do follow us **@faithinourvillage** 

Publicity via posters and flyers still have their place and the displaying of these on notice boards, sent out via email to church members and via the schools and their parent mail has been significant during 2021 and on-going.  Credit to Beth Evans for her creative talent. 

Communication monthly via Church Life Matters has continued and we appreciate the time and effort put in my Therese Underwood in compiling such a professional looking magazine. 

## **Eco Church report from Jane Scheuber** 

From slow progress with Eco-Church at the beginning of the year we have now gathered a team to take on the task of improving our eco credentials to move towards a Silver Award. We are now reregistered with the scheme. 

The COP26 talks in the Autumn focused our thoughts on the environment and the Climate Crisis during Creationtide and we continue to have these issues covered regularly in Sunday prayers. 




We provide Fairtrade tea, coffee, and sugar for our refreshments alongside recyclable cups. Eco-friendly cleaning products, toilet rolls etc are used in St Katharine’s and the Coach House.  We are now registered as a Fairtrade Church. 

Understanding and promoting Fairtrade is a way of engaging with global issues of climate change and trade justice. Some home groups followed study courses from Christian Aid and Tearfund. 

Posters for church events are now printed on weatherproof paper which is recyclable saving on the use of laminating with plastic. 

The success of Outdoor Church has given the opportunity to encourage those attending to be immersed in our little patch of God’s creation as part of our worship. 

Understanding more about our wildlife and caring for it has come through gardening and observational and creative activities. We took part in Churches Count on Nature in June 2021, inviting members of the local community who walk through the churchyard to join in and comment too. Over fifty different plants were recorded. 


Further development of the churchyard mowing regime encouraged an increase in wildflowers and created winding pathways and seating areas. We were awarded our first Living Churchyard certificates for 2020 and 2021. 

The Church of England has set a target of achieving net zero by 2030. We have made small strides in the right direction. What more can we do to play our part in this? 

Please join the team if you have a heart for this. 

## **Outdoor Church report from Rev. Katie Jackson and Heather Marshall** 


Outdoor Church continues to be a very important part of our Sunday worship at St Katharine’s. We have recently taken the decision to have this service twice a month, reflecting the growing role of Cafe Church and the joy of being together as a church family. 

At the heart of outdoor church is a desire to have our children at the centre whilst providing a place for people of all ages to worship. We have continued to see new families join us and our children are blessed by the freedom to be who they are designed to be, in the wonder and joy of God’s creation. Our times of pondering around the fire have enabled the youngest to the oldest to feel safe to share their thoughts and prayers, enabling us to grow as disciples together. 



Outdoor church is led by collaboration, and we have recently been blessed with two new people joining the team; however, there is room for more so do think about whether God is calling you to be involved with this. We continue to listen for the voice of God to show us where he wants to take this next. It’s an exciting journey to be on! 


## **Café Church report from Rev. Katie Jackson and Heather Marshall** 


Café Church is a new style of service and is evolving all the time. It is wonderful to have the opportunity to share fellowship and worship together in a new way. It has proved so popular for all ages that we are now having café church twice a month. This service is a new way of ‘being church’; sitting around tables whilst we worship, reflecting together and eating wonderful breakfasts! It has been exciting to hear the words of encouraging feedback about the service, including from those who are visitors to the church and have been struck by the relaxed nature and wonderful welcome. 

The snug, which the young people from St Katharine’s Youth (SKY) asked for, has also proved to be very popular with the young people at cafe church! As with all things, we continue to seek God’s guidance as to the way forward and look forward to watching how it develops. 

## **Tiny Tots report from Rev. Ruth Mecredy** 


Tiny Tots was relocated and relaunched in September 2021, bringing our group into St. Katharine’s Church on a Tuesday morning. Thanks to our Churchwardens for facilitating space for storage, we set out on a new journey of faith. 

Everything we do in Tiny Tots in intentional, from the welcome, the café style refreshments, the interactive play and story, to our craft time. Alan Tyghe brings his unique musical accompaniment, and we have a lovely team to refresh and chat with parents, grandparents, and carers. 

We still need your help. It would be great to have a group of people who could check the diary on the toilet door and assist in putting out the café style tables and chairs after the Sunday morning service. Especially on a second Sunday after Communion! 

It would be wonderful to have a few more helpers in the café, so that others are released to spend time with our visitors. 




Come and see what we do by looking at our blue boards by the font in church. 


Please pray for us and consider how you may help. 

## **Bell Ringing report from Martin Moyes, Tower Captain** 

It has been a difficult year, struggling with COVID and vulnerable ringers, but more particularly with Murray Ager having to retire and the untimely death of Philip Lucas. Philip had rung the bells in Holt from his early teenage years and his father Jack was a ringer here for many years before that. 

Philip gave a substantial legacy to the Llewellyn Edwards Bell Restoration Fund (a Salisbury Diocesan charity) and the Trustees have enquired whether there is work that needs doing to Holt’s bells, which were installed nearly a century ago. There is, and during 2022 we will seek advice and maybe submit an application for a grant. The total cost may be in the region of £15,000+ and we would expect to be able to get grants covering perhaps 1/3 of this. 

We have been able to return to practices – practice night has now moved to Fridays, as it was for a very long time before being moved sometime in the 1960s, and we are now able to ring for Sunday services on a regular basis. 

We welcome Anne Wilks joining us – she moved into The Tannery last year and had already started to learn to ring. We are critically short of adult ringers and if anyone is interested in taking up this fascinating art in support of St Katharine’s, we are always ready to teach and train. 

## **Safeguarding report from Jacque Bennetts, Benefice/Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO)** 

## **Policies and Procedures** 

There have been no updates to current polices during this year. The Diocese have updated a policy on the use of their Microsite with regards to storing information, which I have signed but this does not affect us as a church. 

## **DBS renewals, checks and training** 

There are two outstanding DBS renewals- awaiting the Diocese to clear. My task currently, is to check that all our training is up to date. It is now mostly online, although if people prefer face to face, a few courses are being advertised on the Salisbury Diocese website. Please feel free to contact me if you wish to check your training needs. Please also let me know if your role within the church changes so that I can be confident that the appropriate DBS and training is all in place. From April 1st I will be planning on completing a short document for volunteers. Again-please keep me informed of changes to roles etc. 



Beth Evans produced a wonderful short clip to raise our awareness of the use of social media and its link to safeguarding. We will play this throughout the year, so that we can all be reminded as to the importance of taking responsibility for our use of photos. It is important that I am aware of those who do not wish any images of themselves being used. A consent form for children is required too. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this. 

We hope to run a first aid course this year too for those who require it. 

Thank you for your support and patience through my first year of taking on this role. 

## **Online Alpha report from Ian and Rachel Firth** 


The Alpha course has continued to be held online and we are just coming to the end of our 4[th] online Alpha. The course works well online, and many actually prefer it, particularly those with small children or with work schedules that make it difficult to come out to attend an evening course in person.  This time, we were however able to meet in person, Covid-free, for the Holy Spirit Day, which was wonderful, all the more so because everyone met with God in a meaningful and special way. 

As we begin to be able to hold face-to-face courses again, we will respond to the preferences of the guests as far as possible. So subject to there being sufficient numbers, those who prefer to do Alpha online can do it online, and those who prefer the face-to-face version can do it face-to-face. Both courses use the same excellent video material, and both come very highly recommended. Speak to anyone who has been on the current course if you are in any doubt! Everyone should do it and preferably bring along a non-Christian friend or two with them. Please all start thinking now who you could invite to do the next course; the more the merrier!! 

If anyone wants to know more about the course and what it entails, please ask any member of staff or one of us, or better still, find someone who has just done it. The next course will be starting soon, so keep an eye or an ear open for the dates. 

## **Financial Review 2021 report from Jeremy Bradshaw** 

Total receipts on the General Fund were £128,244 of which £112,482 were planned voluntary donations and a further £15,762 came from Gift Aid.  Receipts on the General Fund included donations to several specific appeals, including the Help in Holt Christmas Appeal.  Without these receipts, the total would have been £116,785. 

Receipts for the Dominica fund amounted to £275, for the Kadugli mission amounted to £140, for India (pastors and homes) £2060, and for the fund to cover a Youth Worker £11,865. 

The General Fund spent £103,617 to provide the Christian ministry from St Katharine’s, including the full payment of the contribution to the Diocesan Parish Share.  2021 saw an increase of 6 percent overall in the expenditure of the Church, reversing the 5 percent reduction from 2019 to 2020.  There were increases in the Parish share, salaries (including pension) and utilities.  During the year, the shortfalls in the Churchyard (£667) and Building (£4,500) Funds were covered by the General Fund income. 

Further assistance was given to Mission Aviation Fellowship (£1000), Deanery Kadugli Fund (£1000), Haven Homes/Kingdom Associates (£1000), Mathetes Trust (£1000), Disasters Emergency Committee (for their Ukraine Appeal, £1000), Open Doors (£600), Christians Against Poverty (£600), People Against Poverty (£600), Jungle Children (£600), and Dominica (for barrel transport, £600). 



Restricted donations of £13,414 were also received, the majority of which were for the Building Fund. 

During the year the total giving received into the Building Fund amounted to £12,863 including gift aid. The expenditure included clearing the balance of the architect/associated planning fees for the Coach House (£12,138).  The building fund also covers the repayment of the Diocesan loan (£52,000) started in 2019.  A further £6,000 plus interest was paid off in 2021 and the amount outstanding at the end of the year was £32,500. At the year end the cash balance was £446. 

The Fabric Fund balance at the year end was £25,728, there were some works undertaken electrical connections for the music group and the new kitchen.  The Fabric fund is retained towards meeting the upkeep of the Church and the Building fund was established for the Church re-ordering and the conversion of the Coach House. 

For the designated funds, the £1,000 paid as a deposit to Sidholme Hotel (Conference) had not been returned, this may not be returned until the Hotel is sold. 

Further details are shown in the Financial Statements. 

Anthony Matthew continued to maintain the churchyard throughout the year. 

## **Buildings and the churchyard report from Ian Firth** 

The re-ordered church interior has really come into its own and is serving us very well, allowing considerable flexibility in the way we can use it, both for various different types of church service and for the many activities that take place during the week. The addition of a snug at one end of the stage, suggested and implemented by St. Katharine’s Youth (SKY), is the latest development and one that is already very popular, not just with the younger members. 

The installation of Wi-Fi in the church, although fraught with frustrating difficulties at the time, has also been a great step forwards, and has allowed us to integrate into our services and events those members of our congregation who prefer to join us remotely on Zoom. This facility also opens all sorts of other opportunities for streaming music and video into our events and is a very helpful tool allowing us to download useful material of all sorts. 

We thank God for the church building and facilities that we now enjoy and pray that more people will join us so that we can put it all to even greater use in His service. 

Outside, the churchyard continues to be home for outdoor church and is a beautiful and peaceful environment enjoyed by all. The large cherry tree which had grown too big and was obscuring the east end window has been removed, and not far away there is now a beautiful new bench in memory of George Kent. We are grateful to the Eco Church Team for the love and care they regularly devote to looking after the churchyard and keeping it so beautiful. 

The plans for redevelopment of the Coach House were put on hold while we reconsider the use of the various internal spaces in the light of the developments in outdoor church, Sky and other aspects of the church life. That review will now take place in the coming months as we emerge from the Covid season (we hope!), so we can once again look forward to the exciting opportunities for further growth in our ministry to Holt afforded by the use of that building. 



## **Church Flowers report from by Sue Osman** 

With the St Katharine’s opening again after the forced closure due to the Covid Pandemic it has been such a pleasure to be doing flower arrangements again to welcome the Church families and visitors each Sunday as well as all the other meetings that are held in the church during the week  A weekly flower display is made by a member of the flower team and in addition church celebration such as posies for Mothering Sunday, Easter,  Pentecost, Red Carpet Sunday,  Harvest Festival, Remembrance Sunday and Christmas sees the church generously decorated by our conscientious team who are Sue Bolden, Fiona Drysdale, Wendy Ladd, Margaret Murray, Jenny Mizen, Sue Osman and we welcome a new member Joanna Smith who has recently moved to Holt. 


All these special events would not happen but for the hard work that goes into organising flowers, picking greenery, and finally preparing the arrangements - and keeping them watered!! 

There have been three weddings this year for local Holt families. Each family meet the team and discuss with their help what flowers, colours, and arrangements they would like to have for the occasion. The cost is met by the family and the small profit that is made is put into the Flower Fund. 

I would like to thank Fiona Gaunt and family who generously help every year to decorate the Christmas Tree.  It seemed extra special in 2021! 

I would like to take this opportunity to say a very big Thank You to Jilly Heath, Meg Slade and Julia Ingram who have decided to stand down, and express our appreciation for their many years of hard work, dedication, and skill in giving the Church many wonderful displays. 

In addition, an enormous thank you as well to our Church Flower team for their hard work, their willingness, and their floristry skills because without them we would not enjoy the beautiful displays that are created. 

## **St. Katharine’s Coffee Morning Team report from Arthur & Lynnette Baston** 

We have happily resumed our monthly coffee mornings on the 4th Saturday of the month {excepting December which is a week earlier}.  The first being in August which coincided with the annual scarecrow trail.  We meet in church instead of the Coach House which gives us more space to circulate, and we seem to have achieved a good system, although it has to be said we miss the cosy atmosphere of the Coach House. The welcome funds generated help towards our church, and we appreciate our regular helpers and supporters. 



The ongoing sales table set up in church during the covid pandemic continues to thrive for which we also give thanks.
