5. Achievements and Performance Worshi
andP
The PCC 15 Still keen to offer a range of services duringthe week which our community may find both beneficial, ages
appropriate, spir¢tually fulfilling and meets the needs of our growing congregation. In ideal contexts the church
attempts to cater to all age groups and their prefer￿d worshtp styles. However. the Book of Common Prayer IBCPI
evenin8 prayer has seen reduced numbers slnce the pandemic Therefore. a decision was made to cease this
provision but ￿maInS under continual ￿VIeW. Worship has remained flexible to accommodate the changing nature
of the needs of thè congregation. Our usual pattern of worship during 2022 is:
er
Monthly Worship Pattem
Sunday 10am Holy Communion
4pm Baptisms monthly
Service Special as appropriate on Sunday evening5 Isee later explanation)
The SLtnday Holy Communlon service has become the prvot315ervice in the cycle of worship. A steady growth in
attendance of both young and old has been maintained and embedded. People still receive Holy Communion in the
one kind following a review by the PCC or¢ the use of the'common Cup and the role of Cha14ce administrators,.
Servers continue to perform sp￿¥fiC dLrties. Prayers of intercessions and readings are led by both clergy and laity-
Music performed by a dedicated organist and pianist has been maintained. At times CD5 have been used to offer a
wide raE)ge of muslc provisioft. Sirtging by the congregation was resumed during spring 2022. At specific times the
slngmng group have sung during some Holy Communion and other special services SLtch as The Service of Nine Lessons
and Carols. the 150 AnnNersary of the Pelsall Coal Mining Disaster. Har¥e5t Songs of Praise an(1 Candlemas.
Worship has been enhanced by their direction and musical Inp￿ on such special seThi¢e*
Special servi￿$ have been very successful in tems of otrtreath, mission and attendance. Throughout the year when
and where possible, these addition31 se￿¢CeS have b&n held, induding the following.. The Nine Lessofts and Carols,
Harvest Festival, Candles of Remembran¢e and Lament. Christingle, St. Michael's Patronal Festival, The 150th

Annivers3ry of Pelsall Coal Mining Disaster. Toy se￿ICe. St. Francis Pet Senrice. Teddy Be8rs' Picnic, Blessings of the
Back Pack and Christmas Crib se￿ICe. Remembrance Sunday and 40 Anniversary of the Falklands War.
Midweek services IHoly Communion) have continued on altemate Wednesdays at 10am. NLEmbers have
increased. Morning Prayer on aEternateTuesdays at 9am has a devoted small number attendin&
Pre-recorded Hoty Communion services began to lose their popuiartty On￿ restrictions were lifted. These changes
made worshTrp easier. Therefi)re. a deci5itsn was made to concentrate upon building up fao to face services with a
determined effort to encourage people to retum and to con501idate thurth attendance. This has been very
successful.
One specific area of growth is the inueased attendan￿ by famllles and thUdrerL Marry are exploring faith for the
first time whilst others have been received into the Church of £npJand from the Roman Catholic Church. This has
imparted upon the vision and ministry of the chLtrch. Et now purposefvlly seeks to cater for the needs of f3milies with
young children. The Ark is now open for children. the Diddy Boxes have been updated and a small table and chairs
are at the back of the church for use with smaller children. Regularly published information on children's Servi￿ and
events is shared to encourage families and children to engage with the church community. Chkldren's ministry has its
own magazine page dedicated to the Diddy Disciples. These attions had led to hlgher attendance. Our alm is to
provide a range of services and events throughoutthe churth calendar year, such as Easter Extr vaganza Workshops,
Teddy Bears, Picnic Service, Blessings of the Ba{* Pack5, St. Frdnas Pet Ser¥ice. Toy Service, Bo
Ire Party, DIY
Nativity Setvice and the Crib Servi￿. This is an exating development whith needs embedding and consolidating
throughout 2023.
Prayer Ilfe remains an integral part of our worshipping communtty. There have been some exciting and creatlve
Initiatlves.
In February the church took part In the call to Prayer for Ukralne following the invasion by Russia. Throughout Lent
on every each Thursday lunthtlme prayers We￿ dedlcated to Ukralne at the Serv1￿ of'Holding the Sllence. .
The Sunday prayer Intsrcesslon group continued with their waver cyde. Group members continue to pray the
prayer requests at home throughout the week. Thls cornplied with GDPR regulations. This has continued to be
recelved well. The Years Mlnd Anni¥ersary provldes opportunlty for the congregatlon to remember the anniversary
of thelr loved one. A review of the names was conducted by the Pastoral Care Team Leader to ensure that it is still
appropriate and up to date for purpose.
The Week of Prayer for Chrfstlan Unlty 19th- 2Q January 2022 took place as usual. Using the theme- "We Saw the
Stor in the Eost. ond We Come to W0￿h1P Him. both congregations gathered at Pelsall Methodist Church. The
Women's World Day of Prayertook place at St. Marys Churth Shelfield with the theme -1 know the pluns I havefor

On 23 March 2022 the church participated in the second anniversary of the first lock down with National Day of
Reflectlon. Qrganised by Marie Curie on behalf of the government it aimed to have several purposes. Firstly, to
reflert Ltpon collective loss, support those bereaved and hope for a brighter future. Bells at St. Michael's church rang
at 12 noon following a minute silence in conjunction with the nationwide peal of bells. In addition. a cherry blossom
tree was planted in the church yard. The tree was promded by a family in memory of their mother who had died
during the pandemic
In May between Ascension Day and Pentecost the church followed Thy Ktngdom Come In Prayey which was to Light
up the World in Prayer. The churth was encouraged to join in a global wave of prayer and to'Light up Pelsall in
Prayerf so more people come to know Jesus thrist. Free resou￿ based on Novena- Refiections on I Peter and
Prayer Journal written by the Archbishop of Canterbury were prO￿ded forthe congregatton. Face book, dkgital
resources and a series of refiections were used to promote this to both young and old. Use of Cheeky Pandas was to
encourage youngsters to learn aboLTrt the bible. These were very well re￿]Ved.

The Platinum Jubilee of Her Malesty Queen Elizabeth 11 was a poIgna￿t and unique event spread overthe
weekend of 3,
5 June. St. Michael's inwted people to celebrate and join w5th others across the world to pay
fitting tribute to the Queen, giving thank5 for her loyalty and commitment, and as Defender of the Falth. Young and
old attended 'CelebratoryTea Party, to commemorate the Platinum Jubilee whith wa5 a tremendous success for
church and community. On Sunday 5 there was the Royal Jubilee Thank5gNing Holy Communion Service where the
congregation gave thanks together as community for the Queen's reign. Fellowship followed with light refreshments.
Our church bell ringers rang out the celebrations brireing to an end the special weekend as people gathered in
church to hear the bells and to share refreshments. ThmughoLrt the weekend people attending were given a
selertion of memorabilia including 3 free copy of a special issue of John's gospel (with photo of the Queen) provided
by The Pocket Testament League. This was a historic and memorable weekend in the life of St. Michael's.
On the sudden death of Queen Elizabeth 11 on 8 September. St. Michael's had a measured response as it aimed to
offer comfort and solace during the 10 days of official mournln& Clergy put into place the protocol which had been
issued in preparation and in antldpation of the death of the Qyeen. Sunday services were ame
ed to suit the
liturgy as recommended by the Archbishop's Council. Church opening wa5 timetabled to allow
eople to V151t for
prayer, reflection and to sign a Book of Condolence. Pelsall community saw the church as the spiritual space to
gather for prayer and lamenL This was exceptionally re￿[ve￿. A dedicated ecumenical service was held forthe
parish two days before the fLbneral. This provided spèce and a focal point to remember wlth thanksgiving her
dedication as Queen to thls COLsntry and the Commonwealth. Mayor. local MP and clvic dignitarie5 were in
attendan￿. Thls was exceptionally well attended and appreciated by those who were present. Church bells were
rvng several times througlwut the period of mourning. Clergy led the candlelit vigil in the vlllage where flowers were
placed on the eve of the funeral. Very large crowds g*hered solemnly to pay their respects.
In September a Prayer Dayfor Vlslon was held for the PCC members. This was an opportunity to pray for the vision
and to develop prayer. A Diocesan Spsritual Advisor led the session with PCC member5. spa￿ for refiecvon and
meditatlon was provided. Momin8 and evening prayer was also available for all to attend.
Community gathered in November forthe Commemoratlon Servlce for the 150 Annlversary of
Pelsall Coal Minlre Dlsaster of 1872. St. Michael's and Pelsall Methodist produced an ecumenical service to
commemorate this historical tragedy in Pelsall. In 1872 on 14 November twenty tsvo men from the locality lost their
Ilves in this coal mining disaster. The seNlce on the eve of the Is￿ anniversary was an opportunity for the Pelsall
community to gather and to remember those who lost their INes. It also provided their ancestors 3 space to reflect.
The service was based on the theme of darkness and light -..7he light shines in the dorkness, und the dorkness hos
not overcome rt.'Johft I v 5. Using a mix of word, prayer and refiection rt promded a space within the servlce for the
names of the 22 miners who died to be remembered by name and for candles to be lit in their memory. Community
engagement continued on the day of the anniversary. Cwic signatories, local councillors. representatives from the
three schools and othervillage organizations took part in the wreath lawng ce￿mOny. The BBCwas present to
record the ceremony which was televised on the BBC channel later that day. This commemoration was poignant,
reflective and left a legacy behind for the hisiory of the village and St. Michael's Parish.
In December a family everrt called DIY Nativity took place wccessfulty. Children were encouraged to dress up and be
part of the nativtty. Uslng a collection of carols and songs the real heart and meaning of thristmas was explored. .
Substantial progress has been made with the relationships. communication and mutual support within our Church
Cluster for both clergy and laity- Meetings with Parish Wardens have taken place. In January St. Michael's church
held the cluster Candlemas service where the Rural Dean preached. Ir¢ May St. John's Church held the As￿nSIon Day

As well as our ￿gUlar services we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the
journey through life. The church has enhanced t￿lf engagement with the many people who bring children to
baptism through improved hospitality and administration, baptism preparation, goody bags, annNersary ￿r￿s.
Through baptism we thank God for the gift of life and in marriage public vows are exchanged with God's blessings.
The reviewed baptism policy and pack with a more user friendly baptism preparation was very effective in preparing
families for the baptism. A database of baptisms with contatt infomiation has been productive to enable easier
contact with families for promotion and publldty of ser¥lces and events. FtEures Indlote a posltlve Increase In
children and famllles attendance at churth.
Baptism service has continued to take place on Sunday at 4pm. Feedback from baptism familles has been posttive.
Generally. families felt valued and welcomed within a quieter, personal and more dignSfied serv1￿. Relationshlps
between the church and bapttsm families have improved thereby creating a much better understanding of the
meaning and purpose of baptism as Holy Sacrament.
There have been 20 baptisms13 adults and 17 babies or young Child￿n). There was one servlc*r Thanksgivlng
after Adoption for 2 children. Enquiries for baptisms increased In number and this trend continued into 2023.
Baptism preparation and practical rehearsal with fa￿ t￿ face contsrt was reinstated following easlng of
restrictions. This approach has been very well welcomed back into churth prartkce and has been accepted well by
participants. There is a team of laity that assists with the baptism on a Sunday aftemoon.
Weddln8 ministry has developed steadily. Use of hrgh44ualrty materials called JustAsk' has been used to
communicate with wedding couples. Thi5 has resulted in an increased interest in weddings and ultimately growth of
deflnite booklngs. There have been 4 weddings across the year. In February a service for the blessing of wedding
rlngs took place while in October the renewal of vows at a Golden Anniversary took place in a Sunday Holy
Communion Service. Wedding preparation has used a hybrid approach indudin8 face to face when possible and
zoom where appropriate. Both formats have provided opportunity to meet the wedding COLtple and to establish a
good relationship with their local church and dergy. Once again there has been an increased number of divorcees
wlshlng to be married at SL Michael's. Uslng the documeny Marriage in church after (livorce, specific protocols have
been followed. The clergy has applled to the Blshop for pemilssSon ol dIvor￿S to marry. Flgures already suggest a
good number of proposed weddings for 2023. A datsbase of wedding couples wlth contact infom)ation has been
produced according to GDPR regulations. its sole purpose is to maintain contsct ènd to publiase events. ¢hurch
actiwties and Servi￿S.
Funeral ministy contTrnues to be a strength within thurch ministry. Figures remain high. During autumn and early
winter there was a sudden Spike of deaths in the ￿rish resulted in many funera15 being held at thuith or
crematori(tm.
From I" January until 31 December 2022
28 funerals in church
18 burials of ashes
23 fvnerals in the crematorium
Face to face meetings rn thurch have now resumed with zoom and email where appropriate. This hybrid approach
h85 proved succe55ful in ￿achIng funeral familie5. After the funeral SeTV1￿ has taken place pastoral care contiriued.
Contatt to families is maintained. they are contacted by phone before and after the Service. and 6 weeks, six months
and ￿e1ve months thereafter. These contacts are carried out by dergy and the Pastoral Group. On the first
anniversary of the death, the family receive a prayer card from the thurch. servi￿ of Candles of Remembrance and

congregation member allowed books from the Bible Sodetyto be purchased for the church children.
M15slon and dlsdpleshlp has been a wlorltywithin the congregatlon. In order to develop, it was deoded to Use the
Church D¢velopmentTool pioneered by the Churth of En8iand. Using a short anonymous survey wlth the
congregation it prowdea a clear piLture of demograyhics, disapleshlp and evangelism. it also iielped to ItsoK at

brin¥ together the inform3tlGn and define wh* our mlsslon should be for the future. Intentions ale to Use Lhe
re5uIt5 to refresh the Mission Action Plan which will be consldered by the PCC and formally ratified. Fundamental
and vital to the future of St. Michael's is the need for a new and fresh vision relative to the mis5ional' context and
t4e vlsion of Llthflcld DI0￿Se.
A placement student sent from Uchfield Dioose raised the theme of vocatlon withln the parfsh. It was an
Interesting venture over 10 weeks as the student explored their vocation withln the tradition of our churchmanshlp.
The presence of the student provoked discussion and raised the Lbnderstanding of Voc￿50￿. As such, It provided the
