APCM Report for 2021
Vicar’s Report
It felt tempting to begin this report by pointing out that 2021 was an unprecedented year, except that the term unprecedented is fast losing its meaning. It seems more accurate to say that “unprecedented” is now normal. That the world will not be the same again is, it seems, increasingly beyond doubt.
Yet, amidst the upheaval and frustration of pandemics and lockdowns and increasing cost of living, there have also been some real highlights in our common life at Christ the King. You will find many such highlights recorded in the sections below.
At the beginning of 2021, we set out our priorities for the new year, born out of the immediate context of lockdown, and looking ahead at a year that still would be deeply shaped by ongoing restrictions on social gatherings and social interactions. The priorities, broadly speaking were:
-
To reach out and minister to children, young people and their families
-
To reach out to those who are older, socially isolated or alone in the community
-
To support people in need both at home and abroad
-
The pastoral care and spiritual nurture of the community of Christ the King
It fills me with great pride to be able to report that due to the hard work and dedication of the community of Christ the King, we have made significant progress on all of these.
Our first priority was to reach out to children, young people and families. To that end, we launched an integrated strategy of services and events aimed at building a bridge between the wider community and our church community. Key to that has been the development of two new services, our twice-monthly Family @ 5 and once-monthly Family @ 10 service, in addition to our weekly Sunday morning children’s group, CtK Kids. The aim of these different services is to provide a series of stepping stones for families to follow, to make it easier for families with no connection to church at all to get to know our community, and to begin to participate in our common worship and common life. It has been a particular pleasure to see that bridge begin to bring families into our church.
You will find further details on our ministry with families below in Natasha Lee’s report. I will only mention two further highlights of the year here. The first highlight was that we were able to hold a first all-together service since the outbreak of COVID, the outdoor service marking the end of the school year on 11 July. That day will live vividly in my memory for providing the first real experience of Christ the King worshipping together since I and my family arrived in Mirfield. Of course, the day was also tinged with sadness as we said goodbye to Sheena Grills, who had served as Children’s Worker for 4 years.
2
The second highlight was that we were able to appoint a new Children and Families Worker, Natasha Lee. Natasha has brought to the role her extensive experience of ministering with and to families as a children’s worker at her previous church, Holy Trinity in Huddersfield, as well as her training as a teacher. Natasha worked with Sheena in August and then began her role properly in September. Natasha has proved herself an immense asset to our community, and we look forward to the growth and development of her ministry.
I would also like to record our thanks here to Ruth James, who has worked tirelessly as part of the Family @ 5 and Family @ 10 Team, as well as taking a lead on CtK Kids, our children’s provision on Sunday mornings. Her passion for discipling our children has been obvious, and she has kept on seeking ways for children to be part of our common worship.
A second priority has been to reach out to people who are lonely or isolated in the wider community. One part of that has been Tuesday Café. Again, you can read more below. Particular thanks go to Helen and Ian Grange, who have overseen the relaunch of Tuesday Café, and to the amazing team of volunteers who so generously and enthusiastically give their time to making the café work.
A second part of that ministry has been the re-launch of Thursday Drop-in, which offers a space for a regular group of people to bring along their crafts and have a natter, while enjoying some excellent cake. I want to record our thanks to Cath and Tony Moore for their dedication to running the Drop-in.
A third part of that ministry is the Monday Art Group, led expertly by Judith Rowbottom. The group held a very successful exhibition of their work at the end of the year.
Across the three events, we host over 30 people every week who find a warm welcome and good conversation with us.
Our third priority has been to support people in need. Tuesday Café provided a home for a small number of refugees housed in the Metro Hotel by the Home Office while they await a decision on their asylum applications. Further, the community of Christ the King has proved very generous in their support of a number of organisations both in Kirklees and in Tanzania. We continued to support the Salvation Army Food bank with donations of non-perishable food that have helped to feed families in Mirfield and in wider Kirklees. Your generosity enabled us to collect the full cost of the scholarships for Alex and Alex at Issenye School in Mara, and we collected vital funds in support of the work of Kirkwood Hospice. And we were still able to send a donation to the Children’s Society, even though we had to cancel our Christingle Service that ordinarily would have raised money for the Society. I am very grateful to be part of such a generous community, and thank you for your contribution towards this.
There has, finally, also been progress on our fourth priority, the pastoral care and spiritual nurture of our worshipping community. Sunday worship kept on changing
3
as we worked to adapt to continuously changing guidance and restrictions in relation to COVID. But over the year, we have journeyed further towards reestablishing our common worship in a more permanent form. A particular joy was to be able to sing again together, and to be able to share communion again, first in one kind and then in both kinds.
At the same time, we have been able to offer a wider range of different services. We launched a regular reflective style service, and re-launched the monthly spoken quiet 8am Communion in addition to launching our family and all-together services. Since the summer, we have been able to offer home communion again to people who are housebound. You can read more about our pastoral care in the report from Richard Bland below. The Pastoral Visiting Team has done invaluable work in keeping in touch with people who for a range of reasons were not able to come to church, and to support people in tough pastoral circumstances, and I want to express our thanks to them here.
We have also run the Rhythm of Life Lent course, as well as running the Living in Love and Faith course exploring issues of human identity and sexuality. The Living in Love and Faith course brought together two groups - one on Tuesday evenings, the other on Wednesday mornings - who discussed with great sensitivity and remarkable openness our thoughts and experiences around issues of human sexuality and identity. I was struck by both groups’ determination that CtK should be a welcoming community for all, irrespective of sexual orientation or gender identity. We also undertook safeguarding training with all those who serve on teams working with vulnerable people, adults as well as children, as you can see in our Safeguarding Report below.
On a final note, it is with sadness and gratitude that we say good-bye to Helen Grange, who is stepping down from her role of Church Warden, which she has held over the past 7 years. In that time, Helen has done a remarkable job, not least when being confronted with steering CtK through a vacancy and an international pandemic at the same time. She has been an invaluable support for me as I have come to know the community of CtK, and have begun to settle into my new role. I am very grateful to her, and I know that we as a community are thankful for her ministry amongst us. We wish her all the best in her “second retirement”!
Thank you also to you reading these reports for being part of our common life and our common worship. 2021 was a tough year, but it has been great to witness CtK take on the challenges as a community. I look forward to what 2022 will bring.

Safeguarding Report
‘ The care and protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults involved in church activities is the responsibility of everyone who participates in the life of the church. ’ The PCC has complied with the duty to have ‘due regard ’to the House of Bishops guidance on safeguarding.
All relevant and appropriate Church of England policies and procedures regarding safeguarding have been adopted and will be re-adopted / reviewed when necessary. These policies are:
-
The House of Bishops: ‘Promoting a Safer Church’ safeguarding policy
-
Responding to a concern or allegation procedure
-
Recruitment of Ex-offenders Policy
-
National Guidance regarding the use of social media
-
The church meets all the requirements regarding Safeguarding Policy Promotion. Information is displayed on noticeboards in church and in the church website along with up-to-date contact details.
-
Information was also included in a copy of the Weekly News in July 2021 to raise awareness of the importance of safeguarding.
-
Safeguarding is a standing agenda item at each PCC meeting.
-
DBS checks are in place for all roles which require them.
-
Safeguarding Training is ongoing; the Basic Safeguarding Awareness training session originally planned for spring 2020 eventually took place in February 2022 – it was well attended and successful. Further training sessions are planned for May and June 2022 for the Foundations in Safeguarding and Domestic Abuse Awareness training. In addition, several people have completed the training online.
-
The PCC is committed to the use of Safeguarding Dashboards which is used by many dioceses in the Church of England. The Diocese of Leeds took part in a trial at the beginning of 2021 and Christ the King began using it in March 2021. Its aims are to make life simpler for Parish Safeguarding Officers and to help the diocesan Safeguarding teams to work more effectively. The action plan generated from the dashboard is presented to the PCC for approval. Christ the King Church is presently at Level 2 of 3.
Many thanks to Revd Dr Erik Peeters, Helen Grange (Deputy Safeguarding Officer) and Barbara Hornby (Parish Administrator) for their help and support.

Children’s and Families Ministry
The Children, Youth and Families Ministry covers a wide range of activities and is across many different settings which makes it both an exciting and challenging ministry to be involved with.
Church
CTK Kids was relaunched in September 2021 (previously known as JAM) and offers children’s worship and activities as part of the 10am service on Sundays in the preCovid well-established format. The children spend the first part of the service in church and then move into the Community Hall ~~room~~ . The sessions follow the weekly liturgy and we have subscribed to ‘Roots’ online resources to provide a starting point for discussion and activities for the children who span a 3-11 age group. The children have recently begun sharing what they have done in church at the end of the service which has given a real sense of connection with the wider congregation.
CtK Youth is our group for 11–16-year-olds. It is currently a small group, but we do meet regularly for a time of Bible Study and exploring faith together. Most of our young people are also involved in serving in church in some way too and we are exploring ways of linking up with other churches who also have a similar number of young people.
Families @10 takes place once a month and is a chance for the whole family of Christ the King to worship together. CtK Kids and CtK Youth are involved in various aspects of the service including prayers, readings and the choir
Families @4 takes place on the 2[nd] and 4[th] Sundays of the month and provides another space for people to meet together and meet with God. It is a very informal service with refreshments served at the start of the service and includes musical worship, a Bible reading and a chance to explore the reading through prayer, drama, reflective activities, and the occasional parachute game!
Although it is still a small group that meet it is becoming a space where people feel comfortable to explore their faith and worship together.
School
As a church we currently have strong links with Battyeford Primary School, and it has been wonderful to be able to go back into school this year after not being able to since 2020.
I currently go in one day a week to teach on the Christian Value that half -term and therefore see Yr1-6 throughout a half term and Erik has also been in to lead
8
lessons with KS2 children. I also lead Collective Worship and run a lunch time club in KS1 and LKS2.
It is encouraging to see how this relationship with the school is growing and developing and the school are keen for us as a church to be involved with them.
We have also been able to welcome the school and parents to church at Harvest and Christmas which again hasn’t happened since before the Pandemic. We are looking at ways in which we can support the school with other lunch time clubs (including a Sewing Club) and transitional activities for the end of the year.
We are also in the process of re-establishing the link with Old Bank School as they have been through significant changes in the last two years and although we have only just started the conversations things are looking positive.
Community
The community is an important part of the Children and Families work we do. We currently run Caterpillars, a Toddler Group on a Friday Afternoon during term time. The vision for the group is to provide a safe space for parents/carers and their children under 5. As well as the play provision we also provided a snack and a craft and are currently looking at developing the outdoor area for use during the summer.
It is well attended, and we have an incredible team of volunteers who help make it happen each week.
For me there is great joy in seeing how the group has grown since it was able to reopen in the summer of 2021 and how friendships have developed between parents.
We have also run a Light Party which was attended by around 80 people, many of whom do not normally come to church. It was a joy to see families having fun, whilst also discovering more about Jesus and we plan to hold more family events in the coming year.
Natasha Lee, Children & Families Worker
Tuesday Café Report
The café is open for everyone. It’s open on Tuesday mornings from 11 am until 1:30 pm. It provides morning coffee and light lunches. Booking is not necessary and people come and go at whatever time suits.
Tuesday Café was established in July as some Covid-19 restrictions were lifted.
It was set up for people to come and socialise in a friendly welcoming setting. Very quickly, it became popular with many who had felt lonely and isolated during the previous months of lock-down restrictions. The café provides a welcoming space and a variety of quality refreshments which are really appreciated.
Each week round about 30 people come along and enjoy company and good food.
9
Currently we have some 20 volunteers who work each week in groups of 3 or 4 to set up, prepare food and socialise.
We make no charge as this is part of CtK’s mission and outreach to the
- community. However, customers make generous voluntary contributions.
Thanks to everyone who’s worked so hard to make Tuesday Café possible. We feel privileged to be part of this new venture.
Helen & Ian Grange
Pastoral Care Report
Pastoral care happens every day through the small acts of kindness we do for one another such as the telephone call we make, the trip to the shops or pharmacy we carry out for someone who is unable to get out. CtK pastoral care team are here to try to make sure we all get the pastoral care we need and no one is forgotten.
This past year have been challenging due to the various restrictions imposed by government and the team have continued to monitor those still away from church for whatever reason. Our aim is to reach out to all our church community so we know who needs prayers and who needs help.
With our approved policy in place, home communions have restarted to those who wish to receive it.
At Easter 2021 everyone on the electoral roll received a palm cross, a bar of chocolate and card. In Lent Lindisfarne booklets, crayons and cards were sent out and at Pentecost, Thy Kingdom Come booklets and cards were delivered to those who are on our home communion list and also to vulnerable people who were unable to attend our services.
Our aim is that pastoral care is available to everyone and if you think of anyone who may be in need, please get in touch with either Erik or myself.
My special thanks to the team of Val, Mo, Dorothy, Meriel, Birgit, Erik, Ian, Robert and Graham. Thanks also to George who stepped down this past year.

7[th] Mirfield Guides Annual Report
After Zooming each week for such a long time what a pleasure it was to actually see everyone when we returned in June 2021 outside of course but better than Zoom although we did the best we could with Zoom with Leaders home delivering ingredients to cook with and craft packs
We had lots of fun in the Church Yard and the guides participated in their chosen activity either archery, low ropes or rifle shooting at Bradley Woods and we enjoyed
10
our cook out there too but the most enjoyed activity was the Penny Hike in Hopton Woods (at each junction a coin was tossed to determine whether we went right or left and yes the Leaders did cheat a bit to ensure that we didn’t’ get lost and a Leader had familiarised herself with the area prior !!!!)
We started back indoors in September and went on one of our favourite outings in October Roller Blading at the YMCA in Halifax, our badge of the term was Mixology which involved designing their own mocktail menu doing a taste test and to conclude we held a mocktail party at Christmas
In November we held a fund Raising for the Guides chosen charity The Little Princesses Trust and of course we couldn’t invite anyone but we raised £105 and also sent 2 large Tesco bags full of food to the Salvation Army Food bank in Mirfield Usually, 7[th] Mirfield Guides Carol Sing Carols at Field Head Care Home and switch on their Christmas Tree lights but during the Pandemic this has not been possible so this year we recorded the Carols and sent it to them on a USB stick and we had a really superb letter from the Activities Coordinator quoting the names of some of the residents and their thanks that they sent to us
It feels so good to get back some normality and as usual we celebrated World Thinking Day (this is on February 22[nd] the birthdays of our founders Lord BadenPowell, founder of the Boy Scout Movement, and Olave Baden-Powell, his wife who was the first World Chief Guide) And it is when we think of Guides and Scouts around the world and learn something about their customs and try their food Each patrol selects a country this year it was Japan Canada Egypt and Greece the food was yummy and Egypt was particularly fun as we danced like an Egyptian!! At the end of this half term, we are going Roller Blading again!!
Val Dickinson (aka Dixie)
Battyeford Scout Group
The scout group has managed to survive the pandemic with good numbers in all sections.
We managed to keep the members interested through the Pandemic using Zoom to keep in touch each week, some of these sessions involved clowns, meeting reptiles and birds of prey, cake making, yoga, creative crafts, treasure hunt, drumming, Yorkshire Air Ambulance, Mirfield Fire Station, Lego Bricks. I think we all found this much harder work than meeting in person, and we were so pleased when The Scout Association allowed us to meet in person again.
With well managed risk assessments in place we started by meeting outside, it was a little chilly at first but it was so nice to see the young people in person, they were very quiet at first but once they relaxed a bit the decibels were raised. 2020 was supposed to be our 50[th] Birthday celebration year but we had to put on the back burner, and this will be 50+2 celebration.
Now we are virtually back to normal, enjoying activities outdoors at Bradley Woods, collecting litter, crafts, and lots of work towards badges.
11
Erik provided a very interesting night for Beavers and cubs the YP wore the Vicars robes and enjoyed learning information towards their My Faith badges. We would like to thank the Church for allowing us to use the Church for our weekly meetings. We have 20 Beavers 20 Cubs and 12 Scouts, leader wise by all meeting on the same night, we can cover other sections if required, but we are always on the lookout for volunteers, even an offer of help for an evening or sharing any skills or adventures the young people might find interesting would be welcome.
