and makes suggesfions
on how senrices can involve the many groups that live within our mission area. Our services and worship put faith into practice through		 prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. When planning o
acfivfiies forthe year we have conadersd
the Commission's

To facilitate this work
itis important
that we maintain
ths fabric ofour churches and related
buildings.
WORSHIP AND PRAYER
Religious services take place in our churches
and other buildings

regular worship open to		 afi. Our church
buildings,
many ofwhich		 are accessible forsome pert ofeach day, provide a
sacred space for personal
prayer end contemplation
and are a place for baptisms,
marriages
end funerals.
Our clergy are supported
in providing

Lay Readers and commissioned
Worship Leaders.
As a result ofCOVID 19our regular
patterns ofopen buildings,
public worship,
baptisms,
weddings
and funerals,
and combined
services were suspended
across the Mission Area
with the opportunity
to trial new forms ofprayer and worship
online,
highlighfing
new approaches
which we have continued to develop
in 2021.		 until August 2020, but this provided us
PASTORAL CARE
The clergy ofthe MA are tasked
with provkfing
pastoral care to their congregations
and to the wider local community.
They		 are supported
in this by commissioned
Pastoral Assistants
rooted in		 local churches.
Across Borderlands,
congregations
are nurtured
and their needs and those ofthe local community
identified
end Ikriened to.Those in need (the sick, aged, those with dementia		 etc.)are prayed for and supported.
Communion
istaken to the housebound
and to those in care homes. Families are supported
and prepared
for baptism
and		 couples for marriage. The dying and bereaved sre visited and shown support.
In such a 'large' mission cree we are proud ofour continued
concern and care for each other as we grow end move forward		 together
in faith.
LINKS WITH THE WIDER COMMUNITY

and		 Agendas were circulated
online across our churches.
Our responsibiliTies
as trustees,

by the need to maintain
developments
in finance and an emerging
properly strategy st this		 critical time.
LAY CHAIR REPORT
Fofiowlng the hard
uphill struggles
ofthe previous
twelve months, 2021 was a year for us to 'take stock", to look end see who we sre, where we were, whatwe
hed and		 how wfil we be as the future unfolds. Through ag
our nineteen
churches we have afi had to find ways to deal with our rsacfions to and ways ofcoping with the pandemic,
lockdown
and our return.
Rather like late-winter/early-spring
flowers we began tc emerge slowly, cerefufiy and with some trepidetlon
wondering
what		 the future or 'new normal" would bring. We ventured beck to our church buildings to worship,
snd we welcomed the opportunity
tosee one another face to face, close up, but not too close. We shared the peace, albeit		 by nodding,
waving or by sign, end we partook
in communion,		 but in one kind, administered
from behind a mask.
Unfortunately,
due to number
limits, fiers and svafiable specs, we could not eil return
to our full range		 offace-tc-face pre-pandemic
services, acbvBes and		 meetings, but we continued with services
bath in person and an-line snd when able snatched a few occasions to meet up. We not only looked across pew to psw to see who had returned,
how		 old friends had changed and what new friends had arrived, but we
looked at our buildings,
church
halls and grounds as pert ofthe Diocese's Mission Ares Review.
Since we could not have our full range ofservices and necessary
fund
raising acfivBes itgoes without saying that church finances remained
somewhat		 depleted
in 2021.However,		 due to the dedicsfion of members
coming together as e Mission Area, and with assistance
fram the CIW Registered
Body and StAssph Diocese we sil paid our way. We remain
grateful
opportunity		 and indebted to the Diocese for their assistance with the works at St
Barlholomev/s
Sealsnd.
Towards the latter pert ofths year, two ofour clergy moved on to pastures
new. We said farewell to Rev Adam Pawley and		 also to our Mission Area Leader Canon Mar5n Bachelor.
Their		 departure leaves us with two
dergy vacancies that wfil need to be sdverbsed
snd filled during 2022. The post ofMission Area Leader, a Bishop's appointment,
was taken up by Rsv		 Andrea Jones. We continue to wish her well and hold her in our
prayers.
At the snd ofthe year, we received the much-awaited
and anticipated
report and recommendations
from the Diocese ofthe		 Mission Ares Review.
From inBel readings		 we know that this will prowde
us		 with an exdfing
project during the coming year.
Yes2021 was a year ofchsfienges
and an
fo us to take stock but itwas good to be back end filled with hope forwhat was to come and so,		 when allowed, we sang Tls good, Lord, to be herel". Slowly but
surely,
building
upon our adaptations
snd prayers through
lockdown,
looking to our future and the road before us, we experience
growth; some in number
and much		 In our understanding ofGod and much more in fa'rih.
As Borderlands
we have continued
to serve community,
inspre people and transform
church.
"lisgoad, Lord, to be here I
Yetwe may not remain;
But since thou bidet us leave the mount
Come with us to the plain. " Jgoseph Armitage

MISSION
Afi ofwhat
it means tc be a Mission area is acted out and defivered
by our churches. Borderlands
continues
to promote the		 whole mission
ofthe Church		 by seeking to serve the whole community, by developing links locally and
mors widely, and provision
for those outside our regular congregations,
and by providing
support, actMfies and spaces for spectlic groups such es older		 people, parent and toddler groups, the lonely and the homeless etc. Our
donations to other charfiies such as Christia
A/d, USPG, Water Aid, provide benefit
in the relief of poverty and need, whether
within or outside the Mission Area.
We have a Mission/Pioneer
Priest who supports
our work.
Pioneer Priest Report
2021 has proved to be another
frustrating
year in many ways. Some planned
projects were able to go ahead,
but others hed to be postponed
or cancelled due to rises		 in Covid cases. Despite this, outreach has con5nued tc bear
fruit and new inBafives have begun.
