Church Wardens, Report I have been Se￿Ing as Churd) Warden for just over 3 years now since 2019 - and been a part of PCC for muth longer. Ho￿Ver. I still feel like I've not really leamt how to 'vRrden a church. fully. As such I want io start by thanking all the many [￿pIe who have been involved in running the church over this past year - especially as il often feels as though Covid isn'l that far in the past arKI ￿￿ are new lo "in person church-. Between Des, Dave and myself vft have held the roles of Warden, PCC-Chair, PcC￿e￿elary and PCC-Treasurer- and I do think they have done the majority of the 'hard ￿￿rk. so l ￿￿nI io record a thank you to them for the various ways they ve helped. Aso thanks go io the deputy wardens. who are often proaclive in making sure that someone is arOUr￿ to lock up {even vthen l once forgot my key3...) which has been a great help knowing there is one less thing to worry abouL Maintenance of the buildings is a topic touthed upon in PCC meetings - earlier in the year Des and l inspected the cracks in the church hall - and I have gone back lo record them on several or￿S1OnS lo (x)nfirm they are not growing. Needless to say. while not in imminent darwJer, the church hall could benefit from a lot of upgrade work. Perhaps most notable improvements to Ihe main building have been {intemally) the removal of the old lTrghl-corona. and (extemally) the new swn. The design was deliberated over a few times - and hopefully Vill last now rnany years lookirwJ smart. professional. and importantly welcoming. Finally, I vrant to thank again all those ￿0 give their time to the lrfe of St James - both those t￿0 have helped in the organisationmunciional roles of church lrfe behind the scenes, as ￿?11 as those have helped with other vitsl roles (such as church ywth). Tim Pollard

Children, Youth & Families Youth Group Youth Group began at the end of 2021. It runs fortnightiy on a Sunday aftemoon as an informal space for youThJ people aged 10 and above to chill with their friends and play games. The team of adulis, myself. Dave, Arthur and Jess are available to ￿1n in or organise games and to listen to Ihe yourrfJ people. We began by sharirvJ a meal each b.me but in early 2022 the Covid advice for churches was not lo share food so 4ve rnoved to snacks and that worked better for all. In the Spring we ran a Youth Alpha course in the hour before Youth Group. Numbers have steadily grown over the year with a core of about 15 children coming regularly and others coming occasionally. We start 2023 wilh a successful granl application for updating equipment. Season family activities The first seasonal event of 2022 was Love your Mums %thich was cancelled after I contracted Covid. We went on to have a successful -Tombraiders' on Good Friday and a very well attended Scripture UnK)n Summer Holiday Club. Wonderzone allowed the children to explore Science and Nature ￿lIst noisily and messily leaming at)out God's wonderful c¥eation. We made ratnbovrfs, explosions and even slepped inside a bubble. For the L￿ht Party this year I changed the Pumpkin Heroes fomat and ran a worship disco with flashing lights and glow sts'cks. In Advent. instead of having a Christingle service I put on a Christrnas Cfaft aftemcon. One of the uafts vtss to make a Chrislingle so vknen I saw that everyone had made one, we had a lillle impromptu Christingle servic8. We finished the year with children's carols and hwj a lot of fun dressing up arKI using the Bible Society pop up Nativity script to act oul the Christmas story. I'm immensely grateful lo everyone has stepped in to help and SUPFQrt the actiwty days and holiday dub. io

Schools After a loTrJ period of not being all0￿ed into schools I was happy to be Invited to do some regular v￿eklY assemblies at Letgh School. Rosie and I have also joined the Academy Goveming Committee there which we find very interesting. Steve remains a govemor at Mount Nod School. For Harvest I was invited to take a special assembly al Leuh and also ran a Harvest after sthool dub using their Forest School and Prayer Gar- den. Steve arKJ I spoke at a Harvest assembly al Mount N￿￿ School. which had lo be repealed in order to accommodate the many parents that attended. At Christrnas. Mount Nod school walked to St James for Iheir Christmas servtce. It was W￿nderfUl to have the church filled again w5lh hundreds of children and their staff and parents. l Joined Youth for Christ al Finham 2 for a session on Mental Wellbeing and hop8 lo develop links there in the future. Kids Church We had a gentle start to ihe Sunday morning children's group in 2022. Steve began the year with more all aJe services. induding an all age Holy commUn￿n. As families became more confident to retum to churth, our numbers of thildren began to grow and so did the team. We had one group of children aged from 3 to 11 and tried to follow the same themes that Steve vtss teathing on. We vftre delighted to see some of our older thildren begin leading worship on a regular basis. They are ex- tremely gifted! of thildren y￿￿ Baptised by full immersion. By the end of the year the group has grown to the point Ythere are now ready to have 2 age differents'aled groups and so we are lookirKJ to grow the team even further. Sue cla￿en li

Life groups Lrfe Groups are a valuable support netbwrk for our Joumey through life as a Chrislian. They are safe places where members can ask questions, pray for each other. siudy the WLYd. have fun logelher. challenge each other and leam from each other. They generally meet in people's homes and consisl of about ￿ people, meets'ng v￿eklY or fortnJhtly. We encourage everyone in church to belorvJ to a Lrfe Group. speak lo Steve if you are not yet a member of a group. Community Shop 2022 VRS a very strange year fcx the Community Shop. due to Covid and lack of volunteers. DurirvJ lockdovm we lost several of our staff, 2 long tern ladies who left Coventry to be near family and sadly 2 olhers who caught Covid and were to afraid to relum lo the shop. We urgenlly need m￿e volun- teers to help for a few hours each pek as at the moment vffj can only o￿n Tuesday to Saturday 1 Oam b'll 1 pm. The aim of our shop is rN)t only to sell items at a redU￿d price but raise mon- ey for olher charities and offer help and support to anyone who needs it. this could be just a smile, kind word. or even a hug. During the last year we have noticed that scffie peop￿ come in regularly each week not necessarily to buy bul io have someone to talk lo. there has abo been an increase of new people moving into the area from other coun- tries who can not speak English and need our help. The volunleets are wo derful arKI aTrways do their best lo help. A lol of hard ￿r)(k goes into Ihe shop and over the last few years our profrts have increased so much that at Ihe end of 2022 we were able lo share £10.000 amo￿JSt several charities. give money lor a fun day trip for local children during the summer holiday and arrange a free trip to the Belgrade Theatre. If you ￿￿Uld like to donate items ￿ help us in the shop for a few hours week you wll be very welcome. Jackie Cashmore (Shop manag8rw3s) 12

Pastoral Care/ Bereavement Ministry The Past￿al Care Team has continued to funcb'on Ihroughoul the year. We have had one meeting since the end of I0(￿dOwn and we dis- cussed those members we care for and their needs who are not in lrfe groups. We have had people we care f(￿ have moved house and also people who have passed alvay so our numbers have changed quite significantly. We ￿ntinUe to have 7 members on the Pastoral Care Team who malnta*) friendships with those who are not in Lrfe Groups and slay in touch with them rf they are not in Church or unwell. We are constantly assessing numbers of new members within the Church and eno)uraging thern to become Lrfe Group members so that Life Groups can stay in touch and for those who choose not lo be in Life Groups Ihen ￿ as a team wll befriend and stay in touth with them. We have had Lanyards made for our team members to wear in Church eath Sunday and ask that if you are c￿cerned Ihe needs of someone else please let us know. We pray that through the Pastoral gifting of our team. the needs of Chrisls. people are met.

Jigsaw God has continued to bless us as we have sought to provide a safe place where mums and toddlers (average attendance 58) can experience sorneihing of the Kingdom of God. Our prayer tirne before each session has enabled us to draw on G(yJ's arnazing resources lo love as He has loved us. and from that has ￿)rne increasing trusl and Véillingness to share sxoblems and Joys and maybe ask for public or private prayer. JIGSAW is prepared. run and tidied a¥vay by the follo¥%ing: Rosemary. Helen. Heather. Sue Clayden. Diana. Sue Savage and the very ￿lCoMe addition of Rosie Dalman. with Steve helping to move fumiture and Irene providing emergency café support.

Shawl Ministry The Shawl Ministry is still thriving. despite a drop in demand due to the pandemic. In 2019 gave out 68 sha￿lS and 5 scarrfes. to both Church members and lo people in the ￿lder community, in times of illness and bereavement. Since feV￿r funeral services a￿ now held in Church, we have not given out so many shawls. but at the Pkmorial Service in 2021 we gave shawls to those remembering loved ones lost during the pandemic. Wherever they are given. Ihe Sha￿rfS are very much appreciated. One lady had lost her husband was delighted with her shawl and was amazed that someone would knit one for her. She had no Christian faith. but has found so much (L>mfort from her shawl that she shows it to fn'ends and family, telling them all about it. We feel privileged to be able to use the gift of our kntttirKJ skills to share God's love freely in this practical and tangible way. As we do not sell the shawls, V￿ aim to be self-finanong Ihrough donations and fund-raising. We have received several donations recently ￿lch have kept us financially viable. I should like io thank Steve again for his continued support and to thank all our knitters for the excellent ￿)rk they do. Val, Carol Bloxham's friend, deseprfes a special mention for knitting so many shal￿5 for us. We alvrays welcome new knitters either to join th8 Church Knitting Group or to knit sha￿S al home.

St James Fletchamstead Church Accounts for the year ending 31 December 2022 Independent Examinerfs Statement The procedures taken for an independent examination do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and subsequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. In connection to my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives any reasonable cause to believe that in any material aspect the Trustees, responsibility to keep accounting records and prepare accounts which comply with accounting standards have not been met or to which in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
