## **Annual Parochial Church Meeting 2023** 

## **Review of 2022** 

## **Message from the Vicar** 

_´Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.´ Psalm 107.1_ 

2022 was an unprecedented year both for our country and our Church. It was wonderful to see how St Barnabas rose to the challenges and surpassed them. 

We started the year still quite not sure for how long we would be able to keep the church open. We resumed our Tuesday Eucharist in the Lady Chapel, changing the time of the service to 10am, following a decision taken by the PCC. 

We also resumed the Tea & Talk on Fridays, which has been a very successful initiative. We were able to enjoy a full Holy Week in church after two years in the wilderness of the pandemic. 

One of our highlights was the celebration of her Majesty´s Platinum Jubilee with a wonderful street party. It was indeed a very special event. So many people came from the surrounding streets and friends of church members, making that a memorable occasion. It was a great opportunity for outreach and engagement with our community.  Then, the following day we had a service which a great tribute to the Queen, who would die a couple of months later. 

In September, we had to say goodbye to one of our stalwarts, a pillar in our community and a friend to many, and I am talking about our beloved Abigail Armar. Again, as a church community we were able to support Nii and his family and give a lovely send off to someone who was much loved and cherished by us all. 

In November we had the Fireworks night for the first time after the lockdowns, and that  again proved to be an enormous success. The number of people attending it was quite overwhelming. 

In early December we hosted the Mayoral Carol service which was simply beautiful. It was another opportunity for us to share our hospitality but also to showcase our beautiful building. 



It was also last year that we had to say goodbye to our Curate, Revd Trudy Payne, who after many years of service to this church, felt it was time to retire. We miss her and give thanks for her ministry among us. 

We are blessed with a faithful and hardworking band of people who have been working for many years to ensure that the Church is not just a handsome  building,  but  also  a  warm,  friendly  and  a  safe  place.  St Barnabas is well known for having a caring group of people who worship together  and  welcome  all  comers.  Therefore,  I  would  like  to  thank everyone who helps make St Barnabas this welcoming and exciting place. 

_´I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus.´ 1 Corinthians 1:4_ . 

Blessings, Fr Joabe
