He thanked everyone for taking the time to attend and hoped it would all go smoothly! He read John 10: 11-16 and led the meeting in prayer. In this season when we are prone to worry and anxiety, we need to always keep in mind Jesus the Good Shepherd who never abandons His sheep.

Despite £14,000 of new income coming in, they had been unable to pay all the Parish Share for which they had received an £8000 loan from the Deanery. Richard Burton said that although Cranbourne had managed to pay the 2019 Parish Share in full it was always difficult to find the money each month. 2020 will still be a challenging and tough year, but some good news in that there had recently been an anonymous donation of £5,000 made. Looking ahead, anything we can do to contribute to the Parish Share is a priority. ## **6. Appointment of Independent Examiner** Julie Nixon had agreed to stand again and her appointment was proposed by Colin Yates, seconded by Michael Dickenson. It was suggested that a small gift should be given as a thanks for her work: Colin to organise. ## **7. Churchwardens’ Reports** Full reports from all three Churchwardens can be found in the printed booklet or on the parish website, but the Wardens gave brief overviews as follows: **Anne Crewe for St Peters** : In the last week, she had decided to remain as Warden for another 6 months to help see the parish through these difficult times. Working hard to arrange the maintenance and stone masonery work that is needed. She had been very pleased with the savings made using the parish buying scheme for utilities. The weekly Chat & Craft meetings had been very popular prior to Covid-19, and everyone was missing that, along of course with the fellowship of holding church services. **Robert Graham for St Martins** : A lot of work on the fabric of the church had been accomplished by Michael Dickenson, Adrian Hoare and members of the congregation. A good body of people are filling various duties previously covered by Mary Knight, and the hall is up and running again after closure due to the pandemic. Everyone is missing the personal contact and although he is standing down as Warden, he is happy to help whenever he can. **Lesley Philpott for St Marys** : Thanked Jonathan Hemsley, Sharon Cakebread and John Kimball for all their help during this time, and everyone very pleased to re-open the church for worship. Margaret Smith said that she along with many others were sorry that Robert was standing down as Churchwarden at St Martins, but thanked him for all his hard work for the last three years. Patrick thanked all wardens for their hard work and particularly over the last months dealing with everything arising from the pandemic. Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2020 6 ## **8. Deanery Synod Report** Available in the APCM Booklet and on the website. ## **9. Annual Reports** Available in the APCM Booklet and on the website. ## **10. Assistant Area Dean’s Report** Available in the APCM Booklet and on the website. Everyone had appreciated the hard work that Tracey Williams had done in the Parish during the first half of the year. Patrick added he felt the spirit of harambee – the Kenyan word for the community pulling together – was taking place here with everyone helping one another. He was really grateful for everything that people were doing, and had delivered cards to various members of the PCC in appreciation. Stuart Ager thanked Roy Burgess who had helped us out during Huw’s sick leave. ## **11. Any Other Business** Patricia Powell thanked the editors of Winkfield magazine, along with the Telephone Support Group set by Anthony & Mary-Ann Hodson, and Lesley Philpott. Much appreciated by all. Huw Mordecai said he was enormously thankful to all officials and many others who had kept the Parish open both during his sick leave and during the pandemic. A very peculiar time for all, but we would get through it with loyal support and quiet, patient love. ## **12. Date of next APCM** The next APCM meeting would probably be in March 2021 with exact date, location and time of meeting to be confirmed. The Diocese have advised it needs to be held before the end of June 2021. ## **13. Date of next PCC Meeting:** Wednesday 18 November at 8pm, via Zoom ## **14. Closing Prayer** Meeting closed at 8.50pm ## -oOo- Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2020 ## **2021 ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE PARISH OF WINKFIELD, CRANBOURNE & CHAVEY DOWN** ## **BACKGROUND:** The Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down PCC has the prime responsibility of promoting the whole mission of the church(es); pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical requirements. Any PCC is an unusual committee in that it is, within the church, supposed to be concerned with the practical, day by day and routine ‘housekeeping’ that is required to keep a large organisation going. It is however also supposed to be an outward looking organisation, always seeking the lost, the lonely and those outside of the church. We endeavour to try to do both, it is a challenge and at times hard and painful work but it is always worth doing. The PCC also has maintenance responsibilities for the church, hall and grounds of St Martin’s, Church Road, Chavey Down; the church and churchyard of St Mary’s, Church Road, Winkfield; and the church, churchyard, hall and grounds of St Peter’s, Hatchet Lane, Cranbourne. Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down PCC is a charity excepted from registration with the Charity Commission. **Membership:** Members of the PCC are ex-officio, co-opted, or elected by the Annual Parochial Church meeting (APCM). ## **Ex Officio Membership of Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down PCC:** Incumbent - vacancy and the Treasurers: St Martin’s Mr Colin Yates St Mary’s - Mr Colin Yates St Peter’s - vacant **Deanery Synod Representatives:** Terry Allen and Lesley Philpot both appointed. **Deanery Standing and Pastoral Committee:** (vacant position) **PCC representing St Mary’s:** Sharon C, Jonathan Hemsley and Marian Stevens. **PCC representing St Martin’s:** Margaret Smith, Maggie Taylor, Michael Dickinson. **PCC representing St Peter’s:** Andrea Stephens, Alison Burt and Terry Allen **Churchwardens:** Anne Crewe (St Peter’s), Lesley Philpot (St Mary’s) **Licensed Lay Ministers:** Stuart Ager (St Peter’s). **Hon Secretary:** Penny Stringer **Hon Treasurer:** Colin Yates (St Martin’s & St Mary’s) **Lay Chair:** vacant **Committees:** The PCC operates through a number of committees: The **Standing Committee** is the only committee required by law. It consists of the Interim Minister, Wardens and Deputy Wardens, Treasurer, Church Administrator and Secretary. It usually meets before each PCC meeting. The **Ministry Team** which meets to organise Sunday and weekday services, the ministers’ rota and other ministry events. The **Cranbourne Magazine Committee headed** by Anne Crewe consists of the Interim Minister, Treasurer and all those concerned with the editing, advertising, printing and distribution of the magazine. Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2020 Annual Reports: page 1 The **Winkfield Magazine Committee headed** by Anthony Hodson consists of the Interim Minister, Treasurer and all those concerned with the editing, advertising, printing and distribution of the magazine. The **Fabric Committees** for **St Martin’s, St Mary’s & St Peter’s** individually co-ordinate the Quinquennial works and other issues relating to the fabric of each church. The **‘Friends of St Mary’s Winkfield’** is a registered Charity (1162342), and all fundraising is for the maintenance and preservation of St Mary’s church and its resources. The **Friends Committee** for **St Martin’s.** All adult members of St Martin’s are regarded as “Friends” and the Committee meet on their behalf regularly. The furnishings of St Mary’s are looked after by the **St Mary’s Women’s Guild** which undertakes many social and fund-raising activities throughout the year. ## **CHURCH ATTENDANCE 2020** From March 2020 to the present time, St Martins and St Peters have been holding online services via Zoom, and usually 25-30 have logged in regularly including some couples and a few families. When St Mary’s was able to hold their services in church, weekly church attendances were as follows. ||**Under 16**|**Over 16**| |---|---|---| |St Martin’s 9:30am|n/a|n/a| |St Mary’s 8am Prayer Book||5| |St Mary’s 10am Family Communion|18|33| |St Mary’s 10am Family Matins|29|20| |St Mary’s 9:30am Family Praise|17|24| |St Mary’s 9:30am Crafty Church|20|24| |St Mary’s 11am Holy Communion (BCP)||23| |St Mary’s 11am Morning Prayer|2|18| |St Peter’s 8am||7| |St Peter’s 11am|n/a|n/a| ## **ELECTORAL ROLL OFFICER’S REPORT** The total on our Electoral Roll is now 207 compared to last year’s figure of 206. Of these 207, 124 are resident in the parish and 83 are non-resident, 68 are male and 139 female. The split between our three churches is as follows:- 35 are members of St. Martin’s, 144 St. Mary’s and 28 St. Peter’s. Further applications may be expected during the coming year, but we aim to encourage those who apply to go on the Roll to take an active part in our three churches, both practically and financially. **Marian Stevens, Electoral Roll Officer.** ## **REVIEW OF THE PCC YEAR** The PCC met online four times during the year working alongside the Standing Committee, the Fabric Team, the Finance sub-committee, and the Ministry Team. A wide range of subjects were discussed including: Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2020 Annual Reports: page 2 - Continuance of our Parish life whilst complying with Covid restrictions - Fabric repairs at all churches - Parish Share - Fundraising including introduction of Parish Giving Scheme, Easyfundraising, and digital and website giving - Data Protection - Safeguarding - Health & Safety Many thanks go to all who have attended the PCC meetings and for their commitment to the work of the churches. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEWS: WINKFIELD FINANCIAL REPORT** This year (2020) was an exceptional year for everyone. The Coronavirus pandemic forced us to close our churches and halls and at the time of writing we have only just tentatively started to get back to normal, in line with government guidance. Despite all the challenges we continued our Stewardship campaign during the year: the church’s finances have been very tough but the level of donations has been steady and we must continue to raise additional income to sustain us in the future. Our generous church members continue to give valuable financial support in the running of our churches; the main financial priority for the year was to **pay as much of our Parish Share as possible** . In line with prior years, the giving from standing orders is our biggest source of income, and we have encouraged all regular givers to increase their monthly donations at least in line with inflation. In the coming year we will **launch the Parish Giving Scheme** , enabling monthly donations by direct debit. Sundry income from the magazine and hall rentals was significantly lower and seasonal events and other valuable sources of income were curtailed due to the pandemic, and we must now look ahead to 2021 to invest in our buildings and facilities. In the coming year we will focus on maximising the income from these valuable sources. In 2019, the refurbishment of the organ at St Mary’s was completed and now the next project will be the renewal of the sound system at St Marys, both initiatives being supported by the Friends of Mary Winkfield who have actively organised new events and concerts. The parish share continues to be our biggest cost currently, being over £1,500 a week that we pay to the Diocese for our contribution. Insurance costs have increased in line with inflation and energy costs remain high so we are always looking at ways to reduce usage and recover costs of rental of our buildings. During the year parishioners’ and our friends have raised over **£13,000 for our stewardship campaign (including the Christmas Appeal) – but I know we can exceed this in 2021!** We continue to receive generous donations for the restoration of our buildings and other on-going funds, however, the General fund has come under pressure in the last year and we should not just focus on specific projects but fundraise for the ongoing weekly service costs of the church, which increased significantly in the year. Overall, the Parish has finished the year, by paying 80% of the parish share due and looking ahead we must build our cash reserves, as we will face the same financial challenges for this coming year. In addition in 2021, we aim to make a full remittance to the Deanery. I would like to remind everyone that we receive no funding from the Diocese or Government and whilst we have so many members giving regularly and generously, we must continue to find new sources of income and grow our existing donations. Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2020 Annual Reports: page 3 **We must act decisively this year by continuing the Stewardship Campaign** with the aim of building our financial reserves and we look forward to the positive actions that will deliver the rewards we can all share in the future. ## **Colin Yates** **Hon. Treasurer** ## **CRANBOURNE FINANCIAL REPORT** Accounts for 2020 show a net cash inflow of just over £10,000 for the year. This is a very surprising result given the obvious effects of the Covid pandemic for most of 2020. The main points worth noting are: - A very generous response to the appeal from Patrick in December. Total donations of over £12,000 were received. - Other income from fees and services are reduced as you would expect with the church closed. - Some costs were lower as expected given the restrictions – power, staff, etc. - Parish share was paid in full. We still face financial challenges as follows: - Early in 2021 we paid for essential repairs and maintenance to the Church of over £25,000. This was funded by reserves, but the reserves continue to be depleted by such costs. - Parish share which remains our largest regular cost. **Richard Burton - Cranbourne Treasurer** ## **INTERIM MINISTER’S REPORT** ## **Happy Easter.** Easter is a promise of refreshing times ahead and I begin with praying and wishing you all a blessed Easter and times ahead full of the joy of the Lord despite the circumstances surrounding us. ## **Thank you for your welcome.** My family and I have come into this parish during a very difficult time indeed. July 2020 was just after the first lockdown during this Coronavirus Pandemic. I came on pastoral grounds as our Vicar, the Revd. Huw Mordecai was ill and unable to carry on with the duties of the job he loved. We are grateful to God and still humbled by his open arms welcome, that of the Wardens and the PCC and the Parish as a whole. Thank you very much. As we settled in Huw slipped away and left an already grieving Parish. Like so many bereaved in these times we could not say goodbye properly. I am gratified that you all were able to find comfort in some of the vigil services. We are grateful to Bishop Andrew for taking Huw’s funeral at St. Mary’s. We hope to do a proper memorial on Saturday 25[th] September 2021. It is a very humbling experience to be able to minister in a place such as this. I feel very privileged to be here at Winkfield Cranbourne & Chavey Down and remain expectant about all that God still has to do both with our Parish and in our community. ## **Thank you for Sacrificial Service** I am indebted to our Wardens – Anne, Lesley and Robert - for the considerable work that they have each undertaken. Together with Alison as Administrator, they and I meet regularly to plan the work of the Parish. John Kimble, Anne Crewe, Stuart Ager, Alison and I meet also as a Ministry team, to pray and think through ministry and worship. I am incredibly grateful for the wisdom and encouragement we all share and for the sense of t _ogetherness_ this provides during the planning of various services, and not forgetting Michael Dickinson, Maggie Taylor and Margaret Smith for their contribution in leadership in the PCC and at St. Martins. With other members of the PCC they have sacrificially given of their time and energy to keep this legislative arm of the church going. Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2020 Annual Reports: page 4 It is a great advantage to have lots of people who avail themselves and understand the roles and responsibilities of the PCC. Please join me in thanking these stalwarts who have kept our churches going through the thick and thin of the lockdowns. ## **Thank you for Dwelling in the Word.** As we introduce Dwelling in the Word, thank you for taking God’s call seriously. Thank you for taking on Dwelling in the Word at every meeting. Please do persevere in this exercise, continuing to notice where our attention continues to linger. Keep asking the question, what might God be saying to us as individuals and/or as a Parish. Let us know where you think the focus is. We shall continue with this as we develop our **Parish Discipleship Plan** . Philippians 1:27-2:13 has helped us think and pray with the mind of Christ. What a privilege to know that we are God’s eye, God’s ears, God’s hands, God’s legs and even God’s voice in this Parish. I am confident that in this way, we will see **God at work** in our Parish enabling us both to will and to work for his good pleasure in the Parish. We have listened to God and to each other and continue towards the one mind of our **one** parish. ## **Thank you for Prayer.** Corporate and private Prayer are the God given means to steer through this life. From the first Easter and Pentecost, Prayer has always been the engine of the church. The only Person who didn’t need to pray teaches us by parable to be persistent in prayer. We read that, **“Jesus** offered up **prayers** and **supplications** , with loud **cries** and **tears”.** **As we pray, we attach ourselves to God’s Kingdom agenda.** For that reason, I am very happy to report that apart from Tuesday morning prayers and Thursday evening compline we have convened a monthly Parish Intercessors group not just to lead the intercessions in the churches, but to continue in prayer for issues and the people of this Parish. This group is for anyone who wants to develop their heart of prayer. We need to fervently pray about the future of the Parish and act on God’s leading. ## **Worship Services** Services have successfully continued on Zoom for St Martins and St Peters while St. Mary’s with a _**weekly Risk assessment**_ has remained open for private prayer and the 9.30, 10.00 and 11.00 am services. Meanwhile Cranbourne Choir meet every Thursday at 7.00 pm on Zoom. There is also Coffee time fellowship after Tuesday Morning Prayer at 9.45 am. Two **Lent courses** and/or services one led by Cynthia Lane and the other by me were quite successful _though numbers attending were disappointing_ . ## **The Generous Giving Scheme** Over the last year we have had to confront the deficits in our accounts that made it difficult to meet our obligations. It is very commendable the way we are coming together to overcome this Goliath. We have discussed the stumbling blocks honestly and agreed on a way forward including the last Christmas appeal that helped ameliorate our deficit. From mid-March we have embarked on continuing to inform the congregations Biblical understanding of giving and the efficacy of the Parish Giving Scheme. The onset of the Pandemic stopped these efforts last year. We are grateful for the sign up right across the Parish. ## **Schools** **St. Marys CoE School** like the other schools is now open and I will continue through assemblies and as a Foundation Governor to visit whenever I can. Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2020 Annual Reports: page 5 ## **GDPR, Safeguarding Policy** and **Health & Safety Policy** . These have all been reviewed and passed by the PCC. We are working hard to make sure everyone feels and is safe in every way around our parish and around our buildings. ## **Looking Ahead.** As we search for the way ahead, it is important we have a common vision of where we believe the Lord is leading us. Let’s keep asking the questions, so we can start to see the best way ahead. Share with your wardens. ## **What have we as a congregation learnt from the Pandemic and Lockdown? What is it about online church you don’t want to continue?** ## **What is it about church before lockdown you miss?** **What is it about church before lockdown you don’t want to return to?** ## Blessings ## **Patrick Mukholi, Interim Minister. Eastertide 2021.** ## **WARDEN’S REPORTS:** ## **ST MARY’S CHURCH** Looking back I am not sure why we abandoned the APCM set for 19 March 2020. I suppose there was a rule issued from somewhere but I do believe it was 3 days before the official shutdown and could have saved the trauma of re-scheduling in October with various add ons etc. However, it was not to be. In spite of the reports of the seriousness of the virus the actual lockdown was a great shock and it was quite devastating to see the churches closed and padlocked. Very quickly the Church Office and Tracey Williams (who was looking after the Parish then) investigated Zoom and within a couple of weeks services were available for all to watch. The choir, bell ringers, Guild and other church groups were cancelled. Private prayer was permissible late June and St Mary’s opened for public worship in August. There were 4 glorious months, bells ringing, a small number of choir members allowed to sing and then another lockdown in November. St Martin’s was able to hold its Patronal service in St Martin’s Hall on 1 November, which was excellent, before everything closed again. Fortunately churches were allowed to re-open in December and St Mary’s did so and we have remained open. I would like to thank all those who have continued to work within the church to ensure the services take place. The sidesmen, Margaret-Anne Hodson, Jonathan Hemsley, Sharon Cakebread and Richard Loveys. I would also like to thank John Ellis, who decided after many years of loyal service to step down from first Sunday duties. This is a great loss to St Mary’s. Another loss is Ian Cadell who for many years set up the altar for the 0800 communion services. Ian, sadly, has also decided to step down. Many, many thanks to both John and Ian. Thanks must also be given to the Tower Bell Ringers, choir members and organists. A tidy up day was arranged in December and another will take place after Easter. The lightning conductor test was carried out in January. Unfortunately the removal of the Vodafone equipment has not yet happened due to delays from the Diocese and the other companies involved. The light at the tunnel end looks promising and because of that, dates for special events, fund raising etc. are once again appearing in the diary. Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2020 Annual Reports: page 6 Losing Huw during the year was a great loss to everyone but the arrival of Patrick has helped enormously. ## **SERVICES** All services at St Mary’s, apart from 0800, have been taking place since churches were allowed to re-open. **Family Matins** is a cut down BCP Morning Prayer service with children taking the bible readings and also telling the story of the theme of the day. The last one – The Good Samaritan – 12 children took part. In addition, while congregations are not allowed to sing, those who can play the piano or another instrument play a short piece during the hymn slots. In addition to those who play the piano, we have had someone play the guitar and another who played the clarinet and also the Bell plates. **Family Praise** is a shorter service and the prayers and story are shown on the screen. The children still read the bible readings and play the piano. **Crafty Church** came about as we could not organise Messy Church as we used to. Too many people standing too near to one another so Crafty Church was created. This is “Activity in the Pew”. All families collect a bag on entering the church, the bag contains all paper needed, set of instructions (although they also appear on the screen) and crayons. The prayers and story appear on the screen and then there is absolute silence as “riveted” they open the bags and work on the activity. I thank the ladies who came up with this idea and think, maybe, that this will continue rather than return to Messy Church. ## **CHOIR** After five and half months in lockdown, St Mary’s opened for public worship in August 2020. Initially, unfortunately no singing was allowed for either choir or congregation but once singing was permitted for choirs, a small number of singers performed at some of the services. Several members kindly performed at the Carols & Candlelight services which helped enormously. A carol service with no carols would not have been popular. We continue to work with Jonathan Holl, George Nicholls and Anthony Hodson who have helped us enormously during this last year. ## **Lesley Philpot** **Church Warden – St Mary’s Church** ## **ST PETERS CHURCH** I am pleased to confirm that I continue as Warden for the foreseeable future. Fundraising continued in 2020 with record breaking sales of jams/marmalades, spring and summer planters, plus our annual plant sale. The CP Team were only able to work out of lockdown periods with a small Covid compliant team. Thankfully, they were able to keep the grass under control. Our Parish Administrator Alison has worked fewer paid hours but more unpaid I am sure, keeping the Parish up to date during the pandemic. We thank her for her devotion to keep our parish thriving. Sadly Huw our Vicar passed away in December. However, since last July we have been blessed with our Interim Minister Patrick Mukholi, who has brought his great wisdom to our Parish. A big thank you from us all. **Effects of Covid19** _**-**_ St Peter’s has remained closed since the first lockdown in March 2020, apart from three 8am services and one wedding. Since this time we have held Zoom services online on Sundays at 11am, Tuesdays at 9.30am and Thursdays at 8.15pm. Bible study and choir practice have also continued on Zoom. The zoom services have been very well received and our Ministry team has supported the whole Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2020 Annual Reports: page 7 Parish superbly, for which we are most grateful. Sadly we were unable to hold Chat & Craft on Thursday afternoons but look forward to the summer when we hope to re-open - government and diocese guidance permitting. Also Arts Week was not possible last October though plans are being made, also dependent on future guidance. “Keeping the Balance “events were also unable to take place. ## **FABRIC TEAM** All risk assessments will be renewed prior to the re-opening of St Peter’s Church. **Building Maintenance -** External stonemasonry work has been completed as per the quinquennial report. **Side Chapel Roof Leak -** Since scaffolding was needed for the stonemasonry work, we took the opportunity to have the side chapel roof checked out. New tiles and lead flashing have cured the leak at last. **North Wall Water Damage -** The interior of the north wall was repainted in September and parts of the south wall were also repainted at this time. **Annual Tests for Lightning and Fire Extinguishers -** The fire extinguisher test took place in July. However, the pandemic has caused booking problems for the Lightning test. A PAT testing electrician has now been located. ## **Anne Crewe** **Church Warden – St Peter’s Church** ## **DEANERY SYNOD REPORT** There were three Synod meetings during the past year in June 2020, December 2020 and February 2021 with the Deanery Gathering on 17 October. All three meetings and the Gathering were Zoom events. Bishop Olivia agreed to lead the Gathering entitled Deanery Quiet Morning. It was a successful event. The Revd Canon Stephen Pullin, Archdeacon of Berkshire, attended the December meeting. He thanked everyone for their support during the pandemic and suggested members should think about the challenges facing everyone post pandemic. Members moved into breakout rooms to discuss. All Parishes in the Deanery had been asked to provide videos of not more than three minutes of activities/services they had promoted during lockdown. A very interesting video was shown. I may be biased but I think ours was the best!! A power point presentation was given at the February meeting explaining the work of the Synod, why we have one, what members do and how it works. Adrian Laws was appointed Chaplaincy Team Leader for Sandhurst and Ranelagh Schools in December. **Lesley Philpot** ## **SAFEGUARDING REPORT** Key to initials used: PM - Patrick Mukholi - Interim Minister AS - Andrea Stephens - PCC Safeguarding Representative (PCCSR) CJ - Camille Jeffs - Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO) ## **SAFEGUARDING CONCERNS = 2** One verbal concern was raised in January 2021 with one additional verbal concern raised in March 2021. Both are being regularly monitored. Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2020 Annual Reports: page 8 **SAFEGUARDING VISIBILITY** - The pandemic situation continues to force isolation and further impact those already vulnerable. Therefore, current support and extra vigilance to those who we deem vulnerable remains essential. Greater awareness and understanding of Domestic Abuse serves to further support vulnerable people in this area of Safeguarding. 1. **Safeguarding** is a fixed agenda item at each PCC and APCM meeting and every meeting needs to incorporate Safeguarding as a standard agenda item, even when there is ‘nothing new to report’. The PSO may not be in attendance and when the PSO is not scheduled to attend a meeting, a report will be submitted and the PCCSR can report as necessary. An annual Safeguarding report will include numbers to date on reporting and training status. 2. The **Safe Spaces** link is included on the parish website and is also included in the parish magazine: https://www.churchofengland.org/news-and-media/news-and-statements/safe-spaces-launches-offersupport-survivors It is a place where vulnerable people can reach out to, especially if feeling isolated. 3. The **Safeguarding Action Plan** has been reviewed and updated. This is a working document that has now been shared with the PCC and should be reviewed at least on an annual basis moving forwards. 4. **Safeguarding reporting** methods continue to develop to raise visibility. These include regular ongoing Safeguarding discussion and communication between PM, CJ and AS (and Church Wardens); regular updates are shared with the PCC on a minimal of a quarterly to a six-monthly basis. 5. **Safeguarding Sunday** has been scheduled for **4[th] July 2021** . This is a new initiative and its main objective is to raise awareness of what Safeguarding is and to increase visibility and understanding of Safeguarding from different perspectives and what this means for individuals within the parish. **Action:** Discussion and planning required. 6. Parish aims for 2021 - to be in a position to hold **Safeguarding Forums** , where all Church Officers and Group Leaders can exchange Safeguarding ideas, concerns and best practices. 7. To further remove barriers, a consideration of including photographs to accompany the Who’s Who in Safeguarding was agreed at the PCC meeting on 17th March 2021. ## **Recruitment Process** All parish volunteers who have any contact with vulnerable people, Group Leaders, Church Officers and PCC members require a current **DBS** to be in place within the WCCD church parish/Oxford Diocese*. The recruitment process includes the three steps below: 1. Carrying out a **current DBS check** for the parish role (renewable every 5 years); 2. Completion of the **Confidential Declaration Form** and; 3. Completion of the **Basic Awareness Training Course** (formerly C0) - this can be carried out online (also available offline for anyone who has trouble accessing the internet by contacting the PSO or emailing rebecca.norris-bulpitt@oxford.anglican.org ). Beyond the Basic Awareness Course, other training courses are optional. **DBS applications completed** - 23 DBS checks completed to date; all PCC members have now completed the DBS process with the exception of one member who requires a paper application. **Confidential Declaration Forms completed** - 23 Declaration Forms completed. 4 outstanding forms to be returned. Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2020 Annual Reports: page 9 ## **TRAINING** To continue with compliancy, WC&CD continues to respond to Safeguarding requirements on training. The Diocese have requested that all Church Officers and Group Leaders carry out training to Leadership level, and all officers are encouraged to carry out as many courses as they are willing to complete. Training numbers below are conservative and are based on actual known attendees of stated courses. A first draft training file has been compiled in March 2021. _**Next step:** confirmation of any additional training carried out beyond the known numbers stated below._ **Basic Awareness** - 21 volunteers have completed the Basic Awareness training. This number is partially derived from numbers completing the Foundation course, as the Basic Awareness is a pre-requisite. This is an online course, but is now available in hard copy for those in need - please request via PSO. **Foundation Course** - 19 volunteers have completed this course. This number includes the 14 volunteers who completed the Foundation Safeguarding Training Course on 7[th] March 2020, held at St Peter’s Church **Leadership** - 6 confirmed to have completed the Safeguarding Leadership course. Email resent 18/01/2021 for uptake of Church Officers; no further booking confirmations received to date. **Raising Awareness of Domestic Abuse** - 3 volunteers have recently trained in Domestic Abuse and a fourth is planned to complete by April 2021. **Safer Recruitment** - the lockdown has meant a temporary suspension to this course being delivered. As such, and at this time there are no known volunteers recorded to have completed this course. PSO to take up as soon as the course becomes available again. ## **Record Keeping and Organisation** The organisation of Safeguarding record keeping continues to enable greater transparency to follow safeguarding guidelines. These actions include: - i) Declaration forms - continue to be completed and paperwork brought up to date. Focus is now on any volunteers involved in Friendly Faces; - ii) Confidential Safeguarding training log has been created for the parish. Verification is required to confirm accuracy of numbers; - iii) Job Descriptions to be put into place for Church Office roles. Discussions initiated with PM. Friendly Faces and other key roles prioritised - ongoing. ## **POLICY** Discussed and reviewed, the Safeguarding Policy was subsequently approved by the PCC at their online meeting on 17th March 2021. Having been signed shortly after, it was scheduled to be completed and made public within 5 working days. Incorporated amendments include reference to Domestic Abuse to further support the vulnerable in this time of the pandemic. **Camille Jeffs Parish Safeguarding Officer** ## **INDIVIDUAL CHURCH REPORTS:** ## **ST MARTIN’S CHURCH** ## **GENERAL** St Martin’s Church and the hall closed in March 2020 when the covid restrictions were introduced and since that time we have continually reviewed the guideline as they were release by the Government and issued by the Diocese. To date we have not felt that it would be safe to open the Church for private prayer Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2020 Annual Reports: page 10 due to the lack of adequate ventilation (we can’t open any of the windows) and the need for additional cleaning (which we don’t have the resources for and would put volunteers at additional risk). Our risk assessment of the use of the church for regular worship is also restricted by the available ventilation and the additional social distancing rules that would restrict capacity to 24 individuals. We were able to use the church hall for our patronal service on 1 November, a thank you to everyone who helped set up the hall to ensure that we had a safe covid secure venue while also streaming the service to those that could not be present. I expect services will return to the Hall before we are able to get back into the Church. Our continued review of the covid guidelines has also extended to the use of the hall, and although the social clubs and activities have not been able to return, we have been able to open it when restrictions allowed for fitness classes thanks to some very dedicated members of the community. We look forward to welcoming them back when the current restrictions are raised, and to the return of our other users as and when the restrictions and guidelines allow for it. Over the year we have kept up to date with more urgent maintenance tasks for the church and the hall, this has included treatment of damp in the hall and the office, replacement of faulty heaters, gutter cleaning, fence trimming, leaf clearing, replacing faulty light bulbs and painting the church windows – thank you to everyone who has helped out. For the prosperity of St Martin’s Church in Chavey Down, finance and volunteers still remain the biggest issues, help and support with either is greatly appreciated. During the summer the PCC were advised by the Diocese that a parish of our size should only have 2 Church Wardens and we are very grateful to Leslie and Anne who cover this role for the Parish Although not specific to St Martin’s we do need to call out a thanks to all those who have had to turn their hand to the challenges of online streaming our church services. With limited funds, resources and experience they have had to become producers, directors, technicians, presenters and so much more. We know that we don’t always get it right and through practice and perseverance we hope to improve: however if there are others within the parish who have these skills/ equipment and can help us then please contact the office. ## **Michael Dickenson, PCC member – St Martin’s Church** ## **EXTEND EXERCISE** Along with many other organisations, EXTEND Exercise classes held at St. Martin’s Church Hall have suffered owing to the Covid 19 Pandemic. During August, The Hall committee worked tirelessly to put extensive Covid secure measures in place so socially distanced exercise groups were able to use the premises. EXTEND members enthusiastically supported the classes held in September, October and 1 in December and we would like to thank the team most sincerely for making this possible. We are all much looking forward to returning when current restrictions are lifted. **Elizabeth Wright (** lizziewright25@hotmail.com **)** ## **ST MARY’S CHURCH** ## **FRIENDS OF ST MARY’S WINKFIELD (FOSMW)** FOSMW has continued to work during lockdown. It was agreed at the FOSMW AGM in February 2020 that the next project would be an improved sound system for St Mary’s Church. Several contractors were contacted, visited the church and provided quotations. A local church with a sound system installed by the company preferred by the Trustees was visited. The church concerned was extremely pleased with the installation and ongoing assistance from the company. Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2020 Annual Reports: page 11 The Trustees accepted the quotation and details were passed to the Diocesan Advisory Council for approval. Approval was received on 2 March 2021. The contractors have been advised and installation will take place before the end of March. We are most grateful to the Mercers company who allowed the PCC to retain the grant allocated for the organ restoration. Our next project will be an overhaul of the Electrical system. Fund raising for that will begin as soon as possible. All other fundraising events scheduled for 2020 were cancelled. New dates for the Autumn Fayre and Music & Merriment concert 2021 are now once again in the diary. FOSMW is a successful fundraising organisation for the benefit of the Parish and we urge all with an interest in the welfare of St Mary’s Church to join its membership. The membership is now 39 (not including additional family members). We have, sadly, lost six of our members during the year. Marian Hopkins, Joyce Underwood, Monica Cooley, Sybil Smythe, Huw Mordecai and Raymond Grace, all very loyal members of FOSMW. Our thoughts are with their families. The ‘Friends of St Mary’s Winkfield’ is a registered Charity (1162342), and all fundraising is for the maintenance and preservation of St Mary’s church and its resources, thereby financially contributing to the Parish by carrying some of its costs. The management and administration of the Friends is wholly carried out by voluntary effort, with minimum expenditure on external services. All FOSMW activities are publicised on the website, https://www.fosmw.com/ There is a link to the parish website and vice versa. ## **Lesley Philpot - Chairman** ## **WINKFIELD ST MARY’S WOMEN’S GUILD** Unfortunately several of our meetings and events during 2020 were cancelled. The “At Home” organised for our July meeting did not take place but we provided the usual two hampers for raffle prizes and Patrick drew the winning tickets in the church grounds at the end of a Communion service in August. Two meetings were held in the church grounds and we returned to church for the Christmas meeting. The March meeting began with a short service led by Patrick. The discussion that followed suggested ideas and dates for talks and fundraising to begin hopefully from July onwards. Sadly we lost another of our members during 2020: Doreen Potter the leader of the flower team died shortly after her husband in December. Her floral arrangements were exquisite and she very generously helped others with their arrangements. Her death is a great loss. Two wreaths, replicas of her bridal bouquet, were transferred from the funeral service and placed on the Memorial table in St Mary’s. The flower team has continued with floral arrangements since the church re-opened and two new members have joined the team with two others indicating interest. **Lesley Philpot - President** . ## **TOWER CAPTAIN’S REPORT** Well, what an unexpected year we have just experienced! And I must give a huge vote of thanks to Jill for keeping us all in touch with a Monday evening catch up. It was been good to see everyone, except Trevor, throughout the year, part in person and part on Zoom. As the year began, we all went into lock down and all ringing ceased, skittles and weddings were cancelled. We were, however, still able to get together for a Zoom Bells and curry night or rather just a curry night! The tower has not had a clean although it looks in pretty good shape barring a few cobwebs. As the year progressed and we were allowed out a little it was good to be able to get together to ring with 3 or 4 bells, with distance rules applied. So, thank you to everyone who helped out: our minimus was progressing, and three blind mice was doing pretty well too. Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2020 Annual Reports: page 12 It was lovely to get together for a picnic at Debby and Chris’s house and, despite the showers, we had an enjoyable afternoon together. We managed to have an Open Day in September as well as a Bell Sunday, family matins where Jill and I presented a short talk. Thank you to Jane who organised our non-ringing outing in September due to Covid rules. It was lovely to see Jane and Bob and we enjoyed an exhilarating and windy walk along the coastal cliffs before enjoying a tasty lunch in the local pub (remember those?). Afterwards we went back to Jane’s house for same tasty treats sitting in her garden in the sunshine and looking at the enormous cruise ships in the harbour. Later some of us went into Weymouth to enjoy an ice-cream along the sea front. Then came the autumn and we were all locked down again with the Harvest Supper and Firework celebrations cancelled, as was the EBSB Christmas Social and our Ringers Dinner. We are still wondering whether we will be able to run some sort of quiz and are seeing how we get on with the EBSB Zoom one. Either that, or some kind of local treasure hunt for families. Any interest Trevor? If IT defeats us, we will, Covid depending, hopefully run a live quiz in the autumn. Once, again, many thanks to all of you who have turned out through the wet and cold weather to solo ring the bells on Wednesdays and Sundays to keep the sound of the Winkfield Bells going, signalling the church’s continued presence in the community. This sometimes involved non ringing partners and children who are part of family bubble groups, chiming several bells in a joyous sound. We will soon be back to our Bob Doubles, Grandsire and Cambridge! ## **Tony Bish - Tower Captain** ## **ST MARY’S HAND BELL RINGERS REPORT** What a strange year we have all had!! We started 2020 well when we hosted the Birthday Rally in January – the theme was Angels – angel music and wonderful angel costumes for many ringers. The regional hand bells AGM and rally was held in Ash which had a “Swiss” theme – we rang a lovely “Shepherd” piece that involved cowbells which was fun. After that practically everything was cancelled! We did have a virtual curry night which started our regular Monday evening zoom sessions which have kept us all in touch and been fun. A risk assessment was carried out as required and in readiness for some sort of return to our bell ringing. During the summer we met up outside church for a coffee morning each Sunday before returning home for the zoom service– bringing our own refreshments and remaining socially distanced, of course. When services resumed we rang our hand bells outside church before the service – it was lovely just to ring again! I purchased new music stands so that we could all have our own music, rather than sharing. We are lucky to have the luxury of space in St Mary’s so I was able to stagger the stands to ensure that we were all a safe distance apart. Harvest Supper was, necessarily, cancelled but the evensong service was very special and the hand bells contributed by ringing “Harvest Praise” which is an arrangement of “We Plough the Fields and Scatter” and “Come Ye Thankful People Come”. The Remembrance Day Service was just lovely with many parts of the service recorded in advance (in beautiful sunshine) and then magically put together with John’s zoom service on the day. A superhuman effort by all involved and it was very special, as it always is, but in a different way. We recorded “The Day Thou Gavest” during the week before lockdown which was used at the start of the Remembrance Day Service. We were all looking forward to 2[nd] December when we could start ringing our lovely bells again – the ringers well spaced out and without the tables. However this did not last long as we soon entered into another lockdown! We were permitted one brief practice in church before the 5[th] Sunday in January, in preparation, and thoroughly enjoyed ringing “Il est Ne, Le Divin Enfant” – it is a really lovely piece. Hard to believe that we accomplished that on one short practice – we have undoubtedly improved! Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2020 Annual Reports: page 13 Looking ahead – everyone in the bell ringing world is hoping for some sort of return to bell ringing and tentative arrangements are being made. However the Guildford service has already been cancelled this year with a date in the diary for 2022. Sadly there have been no fundraising opportunities at all this last year as everything had to be cancelled. Hopefully this coming year… Undeterred by the challenging times, we have enjoyed some social activities which have been a challenge in order to comply with regulations, but well worth the effort. Our annual quiz night had to be cancelled in February; however we are hoping to hold it on 13[th] November – check the magazine for more details. When we were able to ring our bells we have enjoyed them, despite the restrictions - my thanks as always to all the ringers for their commitment, time, effort and support. **Jill Glennerster - Hand Bell Director** ## **ST PETER’S CHURCH** ## **CRANBOURNE PARISH MAGAZINE** We last printed and distributed the magazine for March/April 2020. A few later editions were uploaded to the Parish website. Moving forward we shall be discussing the amalgamation of both our parish magazines into one. ## **Anne Crewe** ## **1ST CRANBOURNE SCOUT GROUP** Having been unable to meet during the last 12 months, the Group is busy making plans to commence meetings again as soon as we can. In addition to the Cubs (aged 8 – 10 ½) and Scouts (aged 10 ½ - 14), we are looking to start a Beaver Colony (aged 6-8) - details still to be confirmed. Meetings will hopefully continue to take place on Thursdays at St Peter's Church Hall, Hatchet Lane, Cranbourne between 6.30 - 7.45pm for Cubs, and 8 - 9.15pm for Scouts. If you would like more information, then please contact Nick Chapman (Group Scout Leader) at 1stCranbourneScouts@mail.com. ## **GENERAL PARISH REPORTS:** ## **ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT – CHURCH OFFICE** Alison Burt, the parish administrator - has been in her current role for over seven years now and is happy to report that despite the current COVID-19 lockdowns she has continued in co-operation with the Interim Minister, the church wardens and other parish officers, to further her experience and knowledge in the management of matters relating specifically to the Parish’s three churches; their buildings, their congregation members, the two churchyards, general events and the Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down community at large. Whilst in office and as part of the general day-to-day activities she has been responsible for administering: - The 2020 APCM Booklet – preparation - Baptisms, Baptism preparation, funerals, publication of wedding banns, marriage preparation and the wedding service – booking structures - Church office – enquiries including email, post, site visits and telephone - Church supplies - ordering - Duty rotas - Electoral Roll officer - assistance - Marketing material implementation – for events festivals and general publicity - Monuments and churchyards – bookings, communications and approval - Notice sheet – weekly implementation and when applicable distribution - Parish diaries – management Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2020 Annual Reports: page 14 - Parochial fees - logging system - Quarterly returns to the Oxford Diocese for the parishes’ parochial fees - Quarterly returns to the Bracknell Forest Registrars for the registration of the parishes’ weddings - School signing surgeries - Special service - management - Sunday service rotas – weekly implementation and distribution - Visiting clergy arrangements - Website – maintenance While the physical church office based in St Martin’s Church has remained closed since March 2020, the remote church office has been open five mornings a week from 9.30am to 12.00 noon Monday to Friday. **Alison Burt – Church Administrator** ## **EARLY CHURCH (BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER 1662) - ST MARY’S & ST PETER’S** In normal times, Early Church is held every Sunday at 8.00am either in the Choir at St. Mary’s or in the Alexander Chapel at St. Peter’s. The traditional 1662 Holy Communion service from the Book of Common Prayer is celebrated; in St. Peter’s on the first and third Sundays of the month and in St. Mary’s on the second and fourth Sundays. If there is a fifth Sunday the service is at St Peter’s. The gathering may be small but there can surely be no finer way to start the week. You will be very welcome. ## **Ian Cadell** ## **FRIDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY GROUP** - _“Let us not give up meeting together. . . . but let us encourage one another_ _– and all the more as the Day approaches_ ” HEBREWS 10 v 25 This last year has particularly highlighted how much we have needed (and even yearned for) Christian fellowship, for our own encouragement and strengthening in the Lord. As a small group we have been used to meeting regularly for many years, enjoying the fellowship of Bible study and prayer. This year, we have tried not to let the difficulties of national lockdowns deter us from encouraging one another in our faith, thanks to Zoom time, telephone conversations and opportunities we took to meet up physically when we could (following rules of 6 when lockdown rules were relaxed). We have managed two short study sessions this year:- - Last autumn, we followed a publication by the Diocese of Oxford entitled “Alive in Christ”, written by Steven Croft, - a study based on the book of Colossians. - In our current study during Lent, we are looking at “The Prayers of Jesus” (from the Cover to Cover series) – a focus on six prayers that Jesus prayed leading up to the cross. Our mutual love for God and His Word keeps us committed to meeting in His name and spurs us on to be channels of God’s love in our praying for others and in our giving of time and resources, where and when we can. **Contact Cynthia Lane 01344 621816** ## **STILL WATERS FELLOWSHIP GROUP** ## _“Lead us gently, living Spirit, To the Holy Three in One._ These words, taken from our Still Waters hymn, sum up how we as a small group have sought over a period of years, to grow in faith and improve our knowledge and understanding of God through prayer, Bible study, reflection and discussion. Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2020 Annual Reports: page 15 Until March 2020 we met on the first Wednesday morning of each month between 11am and 12.30pm at the home of Pat and Roger Fletcher, but obviously with the onset of the pandemic and the subsequent series of lockdowns, it became impossible to continue to meet up. However, since the arrival of Patrick as Interim Minister we have been encouraged to resume our meetings online and we launched our first monthly meeting on Zoom in November 2020. Patrick’s knowledge of the Bible has enabled us to start to explore the Scriptures in new and exciting ways. We have also welcomed a few new members into the group and would be pleased if others joined us – all login details can be found on the Parish website. During Lent, Patrick led a weekly service and Bible study on Wednesday mornings. By close examination of key passages in Genesis, we learnt how the Old Testament is linked with the New Testament, thus enhancing our understanding of the Gospels. Our Still Waters monthly meetings will begin again after Easter. Christian fellowship, friendship and learning together is very special and if you would like to know more about future meetings please look at the Parish Website. **Pam Brown and Pat Fletcher** ## **WINKFIELD PARISH NEWS** ## **GENERAL SITUATION** The production of the Winkfield Parish News (the Parish Mag) was severely impacted by the pandemic. Of course, the last issue of 2019 covered (as usual) the months of Dec 2019 and Jan 2020. After that, there was a ‘normal’ paper and web issue for February that started with the lines: _Huw is on sick-leave, and we pray for him in his illness and medical treatment. Rev John Tyler reminds us here that Lent starts at the end of February, and needs attention from each of us!_ Little did we know what the Lenten season would bring, as well as leading to our sad loss of Huw in December. The February magazine also records the PCC decision to make the Parish Mag ‘bimonthly with immediate effect’. So the next parish mag was published for the months of April and May. But bimonthly did not happen to plan after that. The February/March issue was the last issue to have physical distribution. The April Issue was published on the Web only, in two parts: the editorial as one document and the advertisements plus cover as another. Since we were all closed down, we abandoned the May/June edition completely. We published a Web edition for July and August, this time in two forms: one with all the ads as well as the editorial, and also a slim-line form that contained just the editorial, which was certainly a quicker download. By that time we had created a part of the parish mag webpages that supported the advertiser better by a quick-reference page for them, and we produced a similar version in two forms for the September/October edition. In both these cases, we had abandoned printing using the parish printing facilities, and printed (using KallKwik, which have been very supportive) a small number of paper copies for those who were unable easily to access the web. It became clear that the essentially static advertisements were a financial burden on printing (the cost of which was carried by donations), so subsequent editions were without advertisements; the advertisers were supported by ads in old magazines and by the new and convenient advertising pages on the web. At the end of the year, it was clear that the bimonthly issues relied on the assumption that plans could be made for two months ahead, and this was manifestly impossible. So the Editorial Team produced separate issues for November, December, and January (and in 2021 for February and March, with preparation for Winkfield, Cranbourne & Chavey Down Parish APCM report 2020 Annual Reports: page 16 April about to start as we write). The precise way in which we carry the Parish Mag forward is still not very clear, with dual issues of editorial-preparation, production/distribution, as well as an uncertain commercial future. The editors, Anthony and Margaret-Anne Hodson, raised a year ago the issue of handing on their responsibilities to others, but nothing has come of this. ## **ON THE WEB** The Winkfield Parish News is hosted without charge by the Friends of St Mary’s Winkfield on a page of their website www.fosmw.com - this page is www.fosmw.com/parishmag - note that ‘parishmag’ MUST be in lower case, as web-pages and their contents have case-sensitive names (although WWW.FOSMW.COM will work). The website carries the editorial sections of the parish mags since January 2014. Each year has its own web-page. ## **ADVERTISING** Advertising in the magazine is managed by Jonathan Hemsley. However, advertising is now supported only by web-advertising and by advertisements on past paper editions. ## **PRODUCTION COLLATION AND DISTRIBUTION** Once the rules regarding association have been lifted sufficiently to allow non-related people to meet, Adrian Hoare writes that he ‘would be happy to continue printing but would need at least one or two other team members to be prepared to join him. The collation and distribution aspects may be more constrained since the team works together in the same place (the Hall) for a number of hours. ## **EDITORIAL** The editorial section of the Parish Mag continues at 20 × A5 pages, except for the April edition in which there were only 16 pages (and there was no June/July edition at all). Over the lockdown period, it has been difficult to fill pages with local news – however, using where necessary the resources of the Parish Pump website, which provides graphics, humour, prayers, poems and religious reflections, we have filled up the 20 pages without difficulty in recent months. Clearly a primary objective has been to report on parish news, comment on the difficult situations faced by people in the parish, and indicate the plans that we have for continuing church life. The parish news has recorded sadness of parish people that we have lost, particularly the death of our much-loved vicar Revd Huw Mordecai on 1/12/20. We have also recorded more cheerful happenings, particularly the arrival of Revd Patrick Mukholi, who came to help out while Huw was on his sickbed. Patrick has been contributing actively to the parish – and has greatly contributed to the articles in the parish mag ever since. The fewer local articles have permitted us to include a more light-hearted entertainment section, while Page 20 – Children’s Corner- a feature since 2014 – continues to entertain children young and old with a bible story or parable in an engaging graphic form. ## **NEWS EDITORS** **Margaret-Anne and Anthony Hodson** : email wparishmag@winkfieldandcranbourne.org.
