Kath Jump PCC Secretary ## **3. Report from Team Rector** Firstly I want to thank you all for your ongoing commitment to Christ and to the Church and to serving him in your daily lives; endeavouring to live as faithful disciples in sometimes very challenging occupations and situations. The worship of the church is to support you, pray for you, and set you free to be resourced and nurtured in your faith. I am all too aware that much of our life together as the Benefice of Saddleworth can become too preoccupied with pressures of finance and building issues. We recognise that a sense of ‘sacred space’ is valued by the wider community; that people have a sense of ‘belonging’ to a particular church, even though they may rarely come to worship. This adds to the burden of responsibility we feel to keep our church buildings open, warm and in good repair. It also means unfortunately that church communities often appear to be demanding more of everyone in terms of time and money, when many are already under severe pressures. This can lead to resentment and frustration and disappointment on many levels. It is vital, however for us to remember our deeper calling – to love, worship and serve God; to support one another to grow in discipleship; to work for reconciliation; to respect the beauty of our environment and to challenge the way we choose to live our lives. It has been good over the past year to try to redress the balance by encouraging participation in Bible studies and groups that nourish our Christian faith and life. I commend these St Anne’s Wednesday evening groups to you. Good, authentic worship matters. It is a window onto our faith in God, our need of his grace and an opportunity to encounter Christ through Scripture and the sacraments. Morning Prayer, led by our able ALMs and others, has proved to be an excellent opportunity to empower and encourage all our laity to find their voice and share their faith journey and experience. We have continued to offer opportunities across the Team for engagement in issues around mental health, eco church and inclusivity. Our work with children, young people and schools has continued and grown. Churches that have signed up to the Inclusive Church movement, have been exploring what being truly welcoming actually looks like. We have continued in our attempts to improve our pastoral care across the Benefice, for those who are are unwell, lonely or sad. Development of our eco credentials are particularly strong in Christ Church Friezland, Christ Church Denshaw and St Anne Lydgate. Others are not far behind. We sadly bade farewell to Reverend Duncan Rhodes, a much-loved and faithful priest. We miss him. Revd Angela Bryan also left Saddleworth to take up a new post in Lichfield Diocese, having worked alongside us in our work with children and young people, not least in equipping, resourcing and encouraging our amazing junior Church and Sunday school leaders in their vital work. 6 You are blessed with dedicated and hard working Clergy and Lay leadership teams. They’re actually pretty awesome. We owe much thanks to our retired clergy. Your Church Wardens often bear huge responsibilities on behalf of the parishes and deserve your support and encouragement. On a personal note, I would like to thank you all for your kindness and support during my seven months of ill health last year. It was a very difficult year for me. The love of you all breathed me back to life. I wish you all well in all that God has to reveal to us in 2020 as together we seek his will and his grace in being a worshipping and transforming presence within the Saddleworth community. Grace and peace Sharon ## **4. Report from Ordained Local Minister** The main areas that fall within the remit of an OLM are worship, services, pastoral care, support and outreach. But as I always say, despite feeling responsible for all that goes on at St Mary's, the responsibility and authority actually lie with our Team Rector and Team Vicar. Our services followed the established pattern throughout the year, with Early Church at 9am and the more traditional service at 10.30am. On special occasions, we continue to have just one service at 10.30am, when both our congregations worship together. These services are always a joy, whether they involve a particular class from the school, or when they mark significant festivals and occasions in the church. From April 2019, The Reverend Angela Bryan took on the leadership of Early Church when Tim and Charissa Cooke moved on to other things. This proved to be a great success, and Angela has particularly encouraged more lay involvement, which is now bearing fruit, as she left the Team in January 2020. As in recent years, attendances on a 'normal' Sunday are around 35-50 at 10.30am, and around 65 children and 65 adults regularly attend Early Church. On special occasions when we have only one service, there are often over 200 in the congregation. I am pleased to report that our Wednesday morning congregations have continued to grow, when we have a service of Holy Communion from the Book of Common Prayer. Very often, we now have at least ten or twelve people in attendance each week. We have continued to hold joint services with Greenfield Methodist Church, at both our churches, with each one concluding with a bring and share lunch. We also remained involved with Churches Together in Saddleworth, and in January 2019 took an active part in our joint village service at Christ Church Friezland, which marked the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. As always, in 2019 we also maintained the tradition of having a joint procession of witness with Greenfield Methodist Church on Whit Friday. Throughout the year, we were pleased to welcome into church the children, staff and families from St Mary's School to services on occasions such as Education Sunday, The School End of Year, Harvest and Christingle, when specific classes took turns to lead parts of the service and gave presentations. The School also held its weekday Easter and Christmas services in church at the end of each term. 7 In addition, it was a pleasure to welcome our Beavers, Cubs and Scouts, their leaders and their families, when they too have attended church for special services. During 2019, Alison O’Brien, our Authorised Lay Minister, continued to lead the services of Morning Prayer on the second Sundays of each month and occasionally she also continues to take some leadership responsibilities within Communion services. In 2018 Alison and I joint led ‘Teach us to Pray’, which evolved into a prayer group which I am very pleased to say still meets monthly to discuss and pray together for our church, community and the wider world. Alison has also taken the lead in organising people from our congregations to take part in Experience Pentecost and Experience Christmas, which on each occasion were set up for two classes from each of the Greenfield schools. They were very well received and those who led the events at each ‘station’ all agreed how beneficial they were for us, too. We will continue with Experience Easter in 2020. I baptised fifteen of the twenty one babies and children who were baptised at St Mary’s in 2019. I also officiated at the three weddings that took place in the church, and at five of the eight funerals that were held there, as well as at nine other funerals that took place elsewhere. It is always a privilege for me to take part in all these special services at the special times in people's lives. They also provide an opportunity for me, other church officers and for the church in general to reach out and provide a warm welcome and prayerful support to members of our congregation, and to people in the wider community who may not otherwise have any connection with the church. This was also achieved during 2019 when we held various other events in church such as the coffee morning to raise funds for Christian Aid and two very successful afternoon teas and handbag sales. On all these occasions we welcomed many people into our beautiful church who may not otherwise attend. Through our prayers, visits and the giving of flowers, we also try to stay in touch with members of our congregation who can no longer attend church or are temporarily absent due to illness or disability. Throughout 2019, I also continued to take Home Communion to all those who were ill at home, in hospital or in care homes, and who wished to receive it. As already mentioned in connection with the ‘Experience…...’ events, I remain closely involved with both our village schools, and in particular, St Mary’s, where I am a foundation governor and a proud former pupil. As a governor, I serve on several committees and I am also the link governor for the School Council. I also continue to lead assembly several times each term, and frequently go into the classroom to spend time with Class 4, which is my link class, or with others, particularly when they are studying religious or spiritual topics. I have also continued to build on our relationship with Greenfield Primary School. During the last six years, I have visited the school at least twice a term to lead assembly and occasionally to take part in other activities. In September 2019 the school moved into its long-awaited new building, and once again made very generous donations to our harvest collection of food for the Oldham Food Bank. This generosity is on-going and wide-spread throughout the year with several members of our congregations giving generously to our Food Bank collection week by week. We held our fourth joint Christmas Fair with St Mary’s School’s PTFA on 7th December, which was our most successful so far, and it’s pleasing to see church members supporting other PTFA events at school, most notably their Summer Festival. 8 As always, I want to thank everyone who supports me in my ministry, and all who support the life, witness and worship of St Mary's Church. There are too many people to name individually, but in particular I must mention and thank Brian our Church Warden, for his dedication, commitment and constant hard work during the year for St Mary’s Church as a building and for the people who actually make up our Church, and I am also very grateful for all the ways that he supports me. It's wonderful to be a part of St Mary's Church and of our Team in Saddleworth. It's my hope and prayer that as the Body of Christ in Greenfield, we will go from strength to strength in faith, fellowship and unity as together we proclaim the Gospel of Christ and work for the furtherance of his Kingdom in this place. With God's blessings. Barbara Christopher OLM and Associate Priest ## **5. Report from Deanory Synod** Representatives:- Brian Greenwood, Bernard King and Edith Booth. The Revd John Rosedale and Barbara Christopher also attend the meetings. The Revd John Rosedale and Richard Lait are also members of the Deanery Mission and Pastoral Committee. Geoffrey Dent also attends as Deanery Lay Chair. There have been fewer Stipendiary changes this year. However we had the sad loss of The Revd Canon Alan Butler, former Area Dean and Incumbent of St Mary High Crompton and St James Thornham, who died after a relatively short illness. The Revd Angela Bryan, House for Duty Priest in the Saddleworth Team, was appointed to a parish in the Lichfield Diocese in January. The Revd Graham Hollowood rejoined the Deanery being appointed as the Incumbent at St James with St Ambrose, Barry St. It is a shared position with his post at St Paul’s, Royton. We also had the closing of St Mark’s Church at Glodwick with a subsequent arson attack on the church hall and former vicarage. In January we had a change of Archdeacon when The Ven Cherry Vann was appointed as The Bishop of Monmouth. The Ven David Sharples, then Archdeacon of Salford and a former Vicar of St Anne’s Royton, was appointed as the new Archdeacon of Rochdale. As usual three Deanery Synods were held this year. The June meeting was held at Holy Trinity, Dobcross. The main business of the meeting was a presentation by The Revd Katy Cunliffe who gave an excellent talk on her role as the Deanery Children and Young Families Missioner. Her Monday evening services, at Holy Trinity Shaw, feature in the Diocesan Video. The November meeting, was held at St James, Barry St. There was a presentation by Bishop Mark (Middleton) and Helen Platts (Diocesan Secretary and Chief Operating Officer) on the proposal to reduce the number of Deaneries in the Diocese from 20 to 7 with the Area Dean position becoming a fulltime post. From January 2021 we would be in the combined Oldham and Ashton Deanery. The Deanery Mission and Pastoral Committee is a sub-committee of the Deanery Synod. The major topic of this year has continued to be Mission Action Planning (MAP). Every parish had to produce their own MAP which formed part of the Deanery and then the Diocesan MAP. To underline that the MAP’s are living changeable documents regular updates from selected parishes are presented at each meeting. 9 The March meeting was held at St John’s Hey. Jamie Mackenzie, the Diocesan Local Ministry Officer was the speaker. ## **6. Report from Church Warden** During the year we have carried out various maintenance work in the Church, the main one being the repairs to the organ bellows, puffer motors and valve blocks, also repairs to the roof have been done on two separate occasions. Flaking paint in the window arches, chancel and walls have been repaired and repainted. The Church carpets, the main body of which is in very poor condition, needs attention and serious thought should be given to replacing them. Unfortunately we have suffered from serious flooding in the two church cellars. I have installed a new pump in the vestry cellar and Graham provided another pump but it still took 3 days and nights to clear the water. In the organ cellar the blower picked up water and has caused some damage to the bellows and air safety valve. Steps are being taken to prevent this happening again. I would like to thank Graham for his help in water removal and drain clearing. Also thanks to my two deputies, Andrea and Sue, for their help and to Pat for working with me to many, many hours on the church accounts, counting, balancing and banking, thanks Pat. Any questions? Brian Greenwoood Warden ## **7. Gift Aid Report** Thank you to those who donate to St Mary’s by standing order, blue or pink envelopes. Thank you very much for those signed up for Gift Aid, which means we can claim an extra 25p in every £1 donated as a tax reclaim. In line with church accounts, a gift aid tax reclaim for 1/1/19-31/12/19 was submitted recently and should be approximately **£7,715** . There were a total of **223** donations for the recent tax claim including pink, blue, white envelopes, standing orders and baptism envelopes. There are **33** standing orders, **2** new ones, **38** have regular giving blue envelopes and 1 person has both a regular giving envelope and a standing order set up. Just a reminder, that not all donations can be gift aided. If an entrance fee is charged/tickets sold, then gift aid cannot be claimed. At events such as the Christmas fair, an approximate amount that attendees spend can be gift aided against, using the one off declaration forms provided. Money given to our flower secretary Pam Butler can be gift aided if placed in a pink envelope, details clearly marked as well as the word FLOWERS and this is proving worthwhile. Small donations like loose change, can also have their tax reclaimed and I will be meeting with Al Gillian our Treasurer to discuss this further. Elizabeth Pilkington Gift Aid Secretary 10 ## **8. Shop Report** The shop continues to do well, thanks to the generosity of our donors and customers. This year we have made donations of: Clothes and belts to the homeless Books and underwear to Beal Vale School Bras to Oxfam Books to Tesco in aid of Mountain Rescue Substantial amounts of clothes which are not suitable for resale are sold to 2 rag merchants, getting further income for our church. We have regular collections from a book dealer. This helps as we only have room to display circa 150, and again these sales provide income for our church. The shop also provided bags for the two handbag sales organized by Pat Bottom. These were a great success. We have helped two young people with the voluntary work aspect of the Duke of Edinburgh award. Whilst we get donations which are too big for the premises or unsuitable for further use, eg damaged children’s toys etc, we are seeking an environmentally sound way of disposing of these. Lastly: A massive thank you to all our volunteers who give their time to the shop and their friendship to our customers, and without whom the shop could not exist. Lynda McGowan Shop Manager ## **9. Child Protection and Safeguarding Children Report** There is only one safeguarding incident to report this year, but it didn't happen in the church grounds, which gives rise to 2 issues: - a. the church is seen as a focal part of the community, which is extremely positive, and the OLM is clearly regarded as "someone to turn to"; b. how far should the church be expected to respond when incidents happen in the community? This went no further than conversations, but the OLM and Safeguarding Officer are monitoring the situation on an ongoing basis. The Officer is known to the congregation because the photograph and the Safeguarding flow diagram are clearly displayed on the church notice boards. Information on the role of the Officer has also been published in the church magazine. A vulnerable adult is also being supported by the OLM and Safeguarding Officer - other agencies have been involved. 11 The Safeguarding Officer attended further training this year in her new role as Authorised Lay Minister. The Safeguarding Officer receives monthly Safeguarding Updates from CPAS - these are really interesting and helpful. Once concern currently has been whether PCC members should have to undertake DBS checks - see next paragraph, which came from the Diocese Safeguarding Officers. This information was disseminated at a PCC meeting. In line with the current safeguarding policy and procedure it is considered good practice to undertake DBS checks for PCC members given that every member of a PCC is also a charity trustee and have a duty of care to ensure the protection of the vulnerable in their church community. PCC members are eligible for a check when the church undertakes work with children/vulnerable adults and the decision about who to check on a PCC is left to local determination and will depend on the specific circumstances of the groups and activities provided by the parish. In cases where it is determined that DBS checks are required it will be the responsibility of the parish Safeguarding Co-ordinator/Lead Recruiter to complete this process which will include the completion of a self-disclosure prior to the DBS check being processed. If issues of a safeguarding nature are identified on the form please contact Lesley Riley as soon as possible. I am attaching a self declaration for your information. The Parish Safeguarding Officer works with the Minister (Reverend Barbara Christopher), Charissa Cooke (who leads Early Church and Pulse) and with the Reverend John Rosedale, ensuring that children and young people are safe in our church. All parishioners are called on, and expected, to take safeguarding seriously - they do not need to know all the details, but they should ensure that they know the correct procedures to follow, when necessary. To ensure this, the Diocesan Child Protection Adviser (Sue Foster), produced a flow diagram - How to act if there is a Safeguarding issue in your church. The flow diagram is now displayed in the church porch, and an article in the church magazine drew attention to it. Contact names and phone numbers are also displayed in the vestry, on the porch notice board, and also the Childline phone number - this is following advice given by the Diocese. CCPAS (the Churches' Child Protection Advisory Service) is an independent Christian charity providing professional advice, training, support and resources in all areas of safeguarding and vulnerable adults. This church is registered with CCPAS, and the Safeguarding Officer is registered with it; the Officer is classed as the Recruiter should there be any Disclosures. This church will need to consider appointing a 2nd Recruiter, as recommended by the charity. Times and events where a significant number of young people are present are mainly Early Church and the Pulse group - the Safeguarding Officer works with the Pulse group, and is on the rota for helpers. The Safeguarding Officer is waiting to hear the names of those helpers who need to undertake DBS checks. The Safeguarding Officer had a meeting at Church House in May with the Safeguarding Team, as there were a number of issues to clarify and discuss, including who exactly in church (among leaders, PCC and congregation) requires DBS checks. At present the situation isn't very clear, particularly with reference to leaders / helpers. All Safeguarding material on the diocesan website is under the red "Safe Church" button on the Front Page.
