J 4• Alyn Mission Area Annual Report 2023 - 2024 Misslon Area Leadevs Report If you have a very good memory, you may have noticed that we have the same Gospel reading for our Mission Area Songs of Praise as we had last year. As I said last year, the account of the disciples travelling on the way to Emmaus is, I would say, my favourite of all the resurrection appearances Luke 24.14-35 . 1 make no apology for using it again this year, especially since in Year B of the &year cycle of the Lectionary it does not appear on any Sundays during Easter! This isn't the only reason I have chosen it once again, because travelli the resence of Jesus is essentially what the Christian life is all about. As we come to this Annual Mission Area Vestry meeting it is a stopping pla for us as fellow disciples travelling together along the journey of faith. It provides an opportunity to reflect upon those times when we have recognised Jesus in our midst and to remember, of course, that Jesus is always travelling alongside us even during those times when we fail to recognise Him, especially in the changes and challenges that we inevitablelv face alonq the wav. t ether in As we reflect upon 2023, we acknowledge that it was, once again, a year of significant change - mixture of joys and celebrations tempered with disappointments and unforeseen developments. At this point in time last year, we looked forward to welcoming 2 new curates to be ordained as deacons at the end of June. It was certainly a joy to welcome Emma and Ana to share in mission and ministy with us. We give thanks for their flourishing in ministy, and we now look fOard to their ordination as priests at the end of June this year. Our regular worship Sunday by Sunday and travelling together through the festivals of the church calendar has continued around the churches. Strong links are maintained
with our 5 church schools (Brymbo, Minera, Gresford, Rossett and Isycoed) armd many of our state schools as well - sChIS mission and ministy being a key mark of our common life together. Study and prayer groups and the be3innings of new initiatives for families and young people (such as "Wild Church") are very encouraging signs. In addition, many social and fundraising events are organised throughout the year within the various church communities. A huge amount of work is undertaken in temis of caring for our buildings and grounds, and the daily routine tasks to ensure our churches are available for the communities around us and to welcome those who visit. I would like to particularly thank the members of the Mission Area Executive, my derical colleagues Tudor, Will, Ana and Emma, our 3 Readers (Sian Hatton Jones, Jenny Creed and Kath Evans) and visiting and retired clergy (especially Steve Green, James Harris and Hugh Jones) who have been greatly assisting us. Our MA Wardens Sian Hatton Jones and Steve Tilston and acting MA Treasurer Sylvia Partington, also all those tho have served as MAC Members, local church wardens, treasurers and secretsries, and our team of 9 Worship Leaders across the various church communities who offer a dedicated and faithful ministry. (rhis is an invaluable ministry and if you feel that you may like to consider training to be a worship leader, please speak with one of the dergy- there is a simple training course to follow over a few weeks and you can then be commissioned as a worship leader within your church community). There are simply too many people to thank because so much wonderful work is being done by all of you, bome out in the annual report which will be published in the coming weeks. I take so much encouragement from you all in offering your worship, gifts, talents, time, energy, generosity, understanding and support in so many ways. All of this together is such a powerful sign and witness of faith, hope and love in actionl Thank you all so much. Diolch o galonl In the midst of the joys, we must also acknowledge that we have encountered, and are continuing to face, some significant challenges. The process of dosure for St. Mary's Brymbo has taken much longer than envisaged. However, it is now very close to completion. Once passed over to the Friends of St. Mary's Communty Group we will see how as a MA we can build a partnership together. The churchyard remains the responsibility of the MA- this will also need to be c(x)rdinated in terms of management and volunteers. Following an enthusiastic new beginning at Coedpoeth with Will and Emma pioneering to revitalise the church community during last summer, sadly we encountered some very serious unforseen health & safety issues meaning that there was no option other than to close the building until these issues could be addressed. The challenges are significant and at his point in time the future of St. Tudfil's remains uncertain. Archdeacon Hayley is in consultation with the Friends community group (including the community café members) and other partners to look into possibilities and the future direction for the church as a special project in revitalising the building and worshipping community at Coedpoeth. We were disappointed not to be able to appoint a new priest for the Minera group of churches after the post was advertised on two separate occasions during 2023. l also had to take a period of absen during October and November last year meaning that Ana and the rest of the ministry team had to step up in order to maintain ministry
during this time. I would like to thank Ana who was confronted with quite a learning experience just 3 months after being ordained, together wlth all my colleagues for their care and concern during my time of absence. We encountered another major unforseen development at the very end of 2023 with Revd Will Marshall making the very difficult decision to resign his post in order to move to Leeds to care for his elderly parents. These issues added together have had a significant Impact Upoil Emma in terms of her curacy and ministry. From this year Emrna has been focusing her energies upon Minera, Bwlchgwyn, Southsea and Pentr8 Broughton to a much greater extent that would have been envisaged. I feel I must commend her for doing such a sterling job under very challenging circumstancesl Given these developments over the past year, we now find ourselves havlng to completely reimagine our vision for Alyn MA due to Will's departure and we need to be partlcularly mindful of our financial Sustainability as we move into the future. This means that we will probably now be looking to formulate a new pattern of mission and ministry based around 3 stipendiary clergy rather than 4. Canon Tudor Hughes will retire at the end of June. I would like to take the opportunity at his last annual vestry meetlng to thank him for his lengthy and distinguished ministry at Gresford and Holt extending over 20 years serving as Area Dean of the old Gresford Deanery amongst many other things durlng this time. The decision has been taken to appoint a new priest to the church communities at Gresford and Holt which is a key appointment for us. It will be advertised at the end of May wlth interviews taking place on 16th July. This position will also include taking on the responsibility of Mission Area Leader. I will continue as MAL for the rest of this year until an appointment has been made. Gwersyllt will remain under my oversight within the Llay, Rossett and Isycoed group with Ana concentrating much of her ministry there, building stronger links with the schools and care homes. We continue to hope and pray for faithful and dedicated new priests to be appointed to Gresford & Holt, and of course, also to Minera, Bwlchgwyn, Pentre Broughton and Southsea, The actual pattern for ministry and oversight in this western part of the MA is complex and, following the recent Vision Meeting with Archdeacon Hayley, Is still to be fully discerned in order for us to pursue a more stable environment for mission and ministry which l appreciate has been very challenging over the past year and, I'm afraid, will continue to be so throughout this coming year. I do thank you for your understanding and continued faithfulness as we travel this difficult stretch of our journey as Alyn Mission Area Family together. Ironically, l end this report in a similar way to last year which tumed out to be eerily prophetic. The disciples travelling along never reached their planned destination of Emmaus as they were expecting to do. Instead, because of their experience of encountering the risen Christ they rnade a different decision, and in their case returned to Jerusalem instead. As disciples, followers, of Jesus we need to travel together, seek to recognise His presence with us and prompted by the Holy Spirit, not be afraid to sometimes change our direction and our decision making, The meaning, and in fact
the whole point of being a disciple is to be found in the travelling together with Jesus in our midst. May this continue to be the pattern of our common life together in Alyn Mission Area, as we move into the coming year.

Safeguarding Officer's Report The Kin dom is not for the stron but for the weak. The Kin dom is not for the rich but for the The Kin dom is not for the werful it is for the owerless. The Kin dom is not for the roud it is for the meek. Increasingly, we find that we must balance our responsibilities within church with the secular world; we hold this in tension, aware that those who attend church on regular basis are in a tiny minority of the population. It can be hard when we as church communities who know and trust each other, and feel so safe within the familiarity of our home church, with people we have worshipped with for many years. However, our stewardship of our buildings and each other should look exactly like it does in the rest of the world. One of these requirements is the DBS check- Disclosure and barring - the old CRB check. Checking for criminal convictions (not speeding!) Every Diocese and Mission Area of the Church in Wales sets its own guidelines for those who want to be involved in an official role, anyone who holds a Bishop's Licence including myselfand Jenny as Readers and all the clergy, have a DBS check carried out through the Diocese, and, those who hold roles that are commissioned through the MA e.g. pastoral assistants, and worship leaders have a DBS check carried out through the MA because they are commissioned through the MA. We appoint people to these roles where we (the MA) have taken responsibility to carry out the references or checks that the rest of the world would expect us to. We carry out risk assessments because that's what the insurance company requires of us, to outline how we make sure that we look after each other at events and in our buildings. We apply for faculties, because for one thing, we are probably not insured to have work carried out without one, and in doing so we show we have planned to look after the building properly using appropriate materials and methods. And for the church not to do these things through poor professionalism, or lack of the appropriate response, is not only wrong in social terms, it is also wrong, in spiritual terms. We are asked to embody, to wear, to inhabit those duties and those approaches, because not doing so can have disastrous, hurtful and damaging consequences for us all. What will help us to grow? The thought that new people might walk through the door and we actually want to be ready and equipped to respondl It's easy to dismiss all this and think it doesn't apply to me, or that it's one more thing to get done that we don't need to do. Well, from July 1st we will have one member of stipendiary clergy, and we are going to struggle to staff services, we will have ministers for the later services who will be among the last to arrive and if they are the only person DBS checked, then we will have a problem. Hence. as churchwardens we have the responsibility for opening up. and potentially are the only official people on site, the MA has taken the decision that anyone holding this role will be required to have a DBS check carried out. The downside is that the rules require this to be in addition to any DBS that you might have in a role outside of
the church, but the upside is that we may have the flexibility to hold more services more often. All new Worship Leaders, Pastoral Assistant and church wardens will be added to the main MCP database over the next few weeks when the retum is submitted. I will then make contact by phone or email with anyone who doesn't have a DBS check and we will start the process. Most people will be able to complete their application online, and once that is done, you meet a verifier with the documents you have used in your application and the triangulation is completed. This is going to be a lot of work meeting people... hence this will take place at the coffee moming at Southsea Church on Saturday 15th June where they have WiFi, which means I can box off lots of you in moming and we can enjoy a brew togetherl DBS is part of the Safeguarding agenda. Honor will send out a link to complete Module A which is online. If there is demand to hold this again in person at Southsea we will arrange that, along with Module B training. Finally- the Diocesan Offering - Thank you especially to Rossett Motherfs Union who helped to support the Mission Area Coffee Morning for Wrexham Foodbank as part of the 2023 Diocesan Offering with so much help, donations of raffle prizes, cake stall, craft stsll, raising a total of £713. We now turn to Southsea to host the Coffee Morning for the 2024 Diocesan Offering for Blood Bikes on Saturday 15th June and look forward to seeing you there, posters will be out soon. Sian Hatton Jones MA Warden & Safeguarding Officer Chrlstchurch Bwlchgwyn The lack of spiritual leadership and guidance, in the fomi of a Vicar for Christchurch Bwlchgwyn, continues to hinder attempts to encourage new followers of Christ, thus inhibiting any desire to 'grow the church" However, unphased by the retirement and relocation of Clergy from Christchurch over recent years, the regular church goers optimistically continue to maintain the church building and support church services. The continuing success of our Remembrance and Christmas services are serving to showcase Christchurch. Since coming out of lockdown, changes in the makeup of the County Borough, and Brymbo Community Councils (BCC) had challenged our long-established political connections, fortunately these have been maintained. Bwlchgwyn Primary School, the Scouts, W.1., the Residents Association, and others, now share the organisation, and the work during these Church I Community services. A period of consultation and engagement preceded the reduction of Sunday Services at Christchurch, this social dialogue helped prepare regular attenders to adjust to new pattern of Worship. For those able, andlor willing to travel, shared services with St. Mary's Minera have resulted in the delivery of Holy Communion twice monthly. The reliance on volunteer Worship Leaders to cover for Ordained Ministry has been eased by the much welcomed, albeit temporary inclusion of two Deacons in our Mission Area. Warden Steve Tilston
All Saints. Gresford We have held several fundraising events to raise money for church funds that were well attended by the church and local community. These included coffee mornings where handmade craft items were also on sale: a sing-along aftemoon tea organised by our choir members and a brass band and choir concert. The Sirenian singers held a concert in our church and were joined by Gresford handbell ringers. A Festival of Light was held in church to raise funds and the proceeds were donated to both Hope House and Nightingale House Hospices. A number of repairs have become necessary to the church, including replacing much of the church lighting. The Bell Chamber has suffered severe water damage due to the heavy rainfall over the winter and poor condition of the roof. and we are in the process of ensuring that the bell housing is safe and making application to cary out the repairs to the tower and north aisle roof. Warden Sue Roden Holy Trlnlty Church Gwersyllt Over the last year there have been new changes for the church and the congregation of Holy Trinity. We have had several events, with a focus on fund raising, such as bingo, quiz nights and a beatle drive. Unfortunately, as can be the case, some events proved to be more popular than others. As a result, our focus for the coming year will be to concentrate more on successful events. The issues that had arisen with our churchyard have been addressed and we have now a new contractor to maintain our church grounds. We have been able to undertake our usual checks within the church such as electrics. heating, fire equipment. and organ maintenance. We would like to thank all our clergy and our worship leaders, and congregation for all their hard work and continued support, in every aspect of our church life here at Holy Trinity. The last thing I would like to say is a big thank you to Johanne who has been helping and supporting me the last 12 months in doing all the admininstrative duties plus other things that go on in church, l am very grateful and appreciate it. With gratefvl thanks Sharon Griffiths Church Warden
St. Chad, Holt St.Chad's is blessed with a small but very faithful congregation who recognise the need to engage with the wider community. During the year the monthly lunches for the housebound and monthly community coffee mornings have continued and receive good support from people outside the worshipping community. A small number of people have joined us for regular worship. We have joined the St. Chad network, a fellowship of churches throughout the country dedicated to St. Chad. The secretary of the network visited us recently to chat to parishioners and explain the purpose of the organisation. We hope to arrange a pilgrimage to Lichfield Cathedral where relics of St. Chad are held. Engagement with the village school has been a priority this year with seeking visits for collective worship from the parish priest and groups of children visiting the church for project work. We continue to care for our beautiful church building, major repairs to the East window, installation of a new electronic organ and possibility of new light fitting for the church are some of the projects undertaken. During the year we lost a number of faithful parishioners, among them, the Rev'd Clive Tucker. We give thanks for them all and for the privilege of sharing our earthly pilgrimage with them. Canon Tudor Hughes St. Paul's, Isycoed In April, St. Paul's Church hosted an aftemoon tea in the village hall, with a selection of freshly made sandwiches and homemade cakes. The tables were set out with fine tK)ne china tea services brought out from the back of cupboards, and the afternoon was very successful both socially and financially. On Rogation Sunday in May we walked from church to the river Clywedog and back. Then our Rushbearing services in July gave both church and school a chance to welcome our new curate, Ana. The school processed to church carrying rushes, which the vicar cut out from the ditch, by the side of the road. In September the fun dog show took place, which was better supported than last year, maybe because the sun was shining. The tombola stall was set up outside so that those manning it could watch the show. We had to move it under an oak tree for some shade, as it was too hot for the stall holders and the chocolate prizes were melting. The Harvest Festival was held in October followed by refreshments in church. In November we held our annual Cheese and Wine with Quiz evening, which is always very popular. Also. in November we had our evening Remembrance Sunday service, in which a wreath was laid at the war Memorial in the churchyard. We celebrated Christmas with a joyous Crib Service and the sunday after Christmas we hosted the joint communion service for our group of churches. Wardens R8chel Bellis & Lynda Ellis-Brereton
St. Martln of Tours, Llay Another year begins with some retum to normality to pre-pandemic times. We had services for Stations of the Cross, followed by hot cross buns and tea & coffee. At Easter we were able to have read and wine (by Chalice) at our Eucharist. In May we celebrated the Coronation of King Charles111 by having a Coronation Lunch in the Church Hall. We had successful Spring and Autumn Fayres which were held in Church. A lunch was held in the hall during the Autumn Fayre, a new venture, this was also very successful. In June we held a welcome Service for Rev'd Ana Evans for all three churches, a lovely introduction for Ana's curacy. St. Martin's hosted a concert in June in aid of 'Your Space,, when we heard the magnificent voices of two choirs- The London Welsh Rugby Male Choir and the Rhos Orpheus Male Choir. The Church lighting system has been greatly improved by the installation of LED'S. Father Huw was made a Canon in July. and a lovely service was held at the Cathedral which was attended by many of our parishioners. Our strong links with Llay Park School have continued. The children came into church for services for King Charles Ill's Coronation, the Remembrance Service, Harvest Festival, Christingle and Crib Service. St Martin's has a reputation for hospitality and 'get togethers,, we have certainly lived up to this by holding a strawbery tea, a fabulous intemational cheese & wine evening, a harvest supper, and coffee mornings. Finally, we would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the smooth running of St. Martin's during the last Iwelve months. Please continue with your help, it is very much appreciated. Pat Edwards - Vicar s Warden Sheila Woolrich - People's Warden St. Mary, Minera We are very grateful to everyone for working so hard during the last year as we still did not have a Vicar. Thank you to worship leaders Carol and Alan for help in maintaining regular Sunday services. Revd. Emma is now working with making connections with Minera School and also the Welsh School in Coedpoeth. All-age activities have been well supported and we will build on these. Open Prayer is to continue on from the Lent Prayer, which has more recently been held at Southsea. Further actions taken this year in relation to the last quinquennial inspection have been that the heating update has been completed and feedback has been good. Currently
our attention is on problems with the increase in damp to interiorwalls, affecting interior decoration. Fundraising I grant applications are ongoing for the replacement of the roof, which we hope will commence in the near future. Wardens Sylvia Partington & Carol Douglas Jones St. Paul. Pentre Broughton The church is in a period of transition following the unexpected departure of Will Marshall. Currently there is one seNice a week on a Sunday morning as the aftemoon service stopped in December. There have been some challenges with regards to the building, however the congregation has worked well together to ensure that all works have been carried out in an expedient manner. The church is looking forward to the imminent toilet connection. which will allow them to offer other opportunities for worship and discipleship to the wider community. They are seeking to capitalise on their position next to the busy cemetery, as well as make connections with the large numbers of houses which are being built. The Christmas services involving a local school and Male Voice Choir had an excellent attendance. There is a weekly assembly in St. Mary's, Brymbo and the church are exploring ways to offer something to the other 3 primary schools. St. Pauls remains popular choice in the local community for both baptisms and funerals. Revd. Emma Dale Chrlst Church Rossett We were blessed right at the beginning of 2023 when a friend of Christ Church made a video of the grounds and interior of the church building; it's a beautiful record of bright winterfs day in and around Christ Church Rossett at Christmas. At the end of January, we had a Christingle for Candlemas Service, one of the latest dates that a Christingle can be held while still being in the Christmas season. In April Rossett church joined WINGS Wrecsam. This means that anyone can pop in to church to pick up period products - supplies are replenished regularly and are easy to find just inside the church door. Since the summer Christ Church has had a regular page in Essentials Ma including short articles about interesting things going on in and around church. On Coronation Day a group of children, staff and parents of St. Peters School came to church to #RingForTheKing, a truly memorable event where everyone had the opportunity to ring the bells. The day after, the community were invited to church for a light tea followed by Songs of Praise, and a retiring collection for the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme Resilience Fund was made. In June, Foundation Governors Richard and Sian accompanied the Year 6 class of St. Peter's School on a trip to the Senedd where pupils presented their Project Seagrass campaign. This supports the protection and restoration of seagrass around the Welsh
coastline. The children met the then Minister for Climate Change, Julie James, among with lots of other Senedd workers and members. It was a joy to welcome Rev'd Ana who was ordained as a Deacon in June, and she settled quickly into church life. A Yoga class started up in July and has grown into a twice weekly booking which has made a huge contribution to running costs of the Church Room. At the end of July, we hosted a Coffee Moming on behalf of Alyn Mission Area to raise money for Wrexham Foodbank which was the Diocesan Offering for 2023. On the moming itself, we raised £681.10. Some who attended also brought donations of food, filling four crates which we were also able to deliver to the Foodbank Warehouse. In September we started a new event, namely the Makers and Bakers Coffee Moming, which replaced another long-standing fundraising event. People were baking, planting, and making home-made items to sell in church, including a raffle, and this looks and this looks like becoming regular church event. Fundraising is a vital way of reaching out to the community and strengthening relationships between church people. It takes a lot of hard work and commitment to keep annually running these events and we are very grateful to Lesley and Mary who run events regularly as the years go by, raising thousands of pounds for church funds. In September, Rossett Mothers Union hosted St. Asaph Mother's Union at Christ Church with everyone coming together to sing and celebrate St. Asaph 1450. MU Members from all over St Asaph diocese attended on a very rainy Saturday aftemoon and enjoyed a lovely tea afteNards. In December we held our first Children's Craft Morning which was very successful and is a model we will definitely build on. Sian Hatton Jones Rossett Church warden All Salnts, Southsea All Saints church has a good-sized congregation of varied ages, and is in a period of transition after the unexpected departure of Will Marshall. There are now two midweek services, and on a Tuesday evening there is a group exploring prayer. Thursday morning sees a small group meet for breakfast church and Bible study. There has been some support for the all-Age events such as Wild Lent. The carol concert and crib service were very well attended at Christmas which could present future opportunity for growth. Weekly assemblies are taken in Ysgol Tanyfron and St. Mary's Brymbo. In the coming year the church faces substantial financial challenges and will need to seek creative solutions to achieve a sustainable financial position. Revd. Emm8 Dale

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO ALYN MISSION AREA PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 st December 2023. Respectlve respon8ibllltles of trustees and examlner The Misslon Area Conference (MAC) are responslble for the pr8paration of the accounts. The MAC considers that an audit is not required for thls year under sectlon 144{2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an Independent examinatlon Is n88ded. It is my responsiblllty to: examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act> to follow the procedures lald down in the General Directlons given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b> of the 2011 Act); and to state whether partlcular matlers have come to my attention. Bas18 of Independent oxamlner'8 report My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examinatlon Includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charlty and a comparlson of the accounts presented with th058 records.
