Rector’s Benefice Report 2020
The year 2020 was extra-ordinary in ways both terrifying and hopeful. The terrifying aspects hardly need rehearsing: a world-wide pandemic, which was a factor in over 140,000 deaths in the UK; national lockdowns and the suspension of some basic freedoms of a liberal democracy; the complete closure of places of worship for the first time since the Reformation. Consequent on these hard facts comes a wave of grief, mental health problems and economic recession, which falls hardest on the most vulnerable. In Tadley, Pamber Heath and Silchester the clergy have taken roughly twice as many funerals as in a typical year. For many months, funerals were the only services we held in church.
The closure of our buildings, either by Government fiat or voluntarily to limit spread of the virus, caused us to rethink how we sustain the individual life of prayer and the corporate sense of community, as well as the infrastructure of our parishes. This annual report tells some of the story of how we sustained these 3 vital and interconnected parts of our life. I believe it tells a story of courage, creativity and hope. Sometimes it takes a tragedy for us to discover something new, or to rediscover something that we have neglected. We have done both.
We have discovered how to use zoom, YouTube, & Facebook to broadcast our message. We have added new people to our community on Sundays, as we have worshipped on zoom. We have run more courses this year than any other year: Alpha, Prayer Course, Bible Course, Sanctuary (Mental Health) course. We have been joined by people from other parts of the country.
We have also become more joined up with Foodbank, Tadley Hub (lockdown support), Citizen's Advice and the local GP practice. One of the outcomes has been the creation of a new Tadley Well Being Forum to enable communication between charitable, third sector and statutory agencies.
I think we have rediscovered that we have a message of meaning and hope in a time when individualism, consumerism and post-modern cynicism have been shown up to be weak values to sustain us. We have, at the same time, rediscovered the informal network of caring that has sustained the church through the centuries: the Spirit prompting each of us to look out for neighbours and the vulnerable. We have had to rediscover our private prayer disciplines, because so many public services have not happened. We have also learnt again the value of our church buildings and churchyards, even when they couldn't be open, we have somehow made them focal points of prayer and remembrance.
It hasn't all been progress. There have been real losses: some of our community have died, some have felt cut off, especially those with no internet access; we have struggled financially; we have missed the sacraments (we have baptised 1 child this year); we haven't been able to go into schools, hold Summer Fetes, or simply have coffee together. We will have to work hard to make up some lost ground, when we are allowed.
Personally, this last year has been hard. On top of the challenge of the pandemic, Kayla had her own journey through cancer treatment. I have missed being amongst you, and the year ended with Gill Sakakini moving to a new post, and Rob Young announcing his retirement.
Christianity is a religion of hope, which means that it is focussed on the future, and so are we. We are trying to learn the lessons of this year, so that we are fitter and stronger for the future. We have a Benefice Futures Group beginning to think about how our 5 churches and 3 halls can best serve our community as we begin to use them again. We will need each member of our churches to invite our neighbours to join us as we re-emerge.
We have rediscovered the strength of our faith; we need once again to have confidence that it is good news for all, as we invite them to join us in the love of God and love of neighbour in a world that is more fragile, more fearful, and, saddest of all, more divided than ever. I invite you to renew your confidence that " we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good. God knew what he was doing from the very beginning. He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love him along the same lines as the life of his Son." (Romans 8.28-29 - Message Translation)
God bless you. Thank you for your fellowship in this journey of faith and hope. Richard Harlow
St Paul's 2020
We closed our church building at the end of March 2020, under government instructions. Until then, the year had started much as any other: joyful Sunday worship, thriving home groups, busy Messy Church, buzzing church hall.
Our first action after lockdown was to make sure that every member of our church had someone responsible for keeping in touch with them and offering help, if needed. I met with the ministry team, comprising churchwardens, clergy, home group leaders, Steve McKay and Simon Day, every Saturday.
Initially, we sent out sermons by email and posted reflections on Facebook.
On Easter Sunday we recorded our first whole service, and posted it on Facebook and YouTube. A week later we started to worship on zoom, and have continued to do so every Sunday since, adding a session for children (Messy Church at home) after a few weeks.
The story of our progress on-line is told later in this report by Steve McKay, but here I wish to thank Steve, Lisa and Mark Kember and all of you who have joined us for mastering this technology. One of the joys of zoom has been that we have widened the number of contributors each week, with 2 short reflections replacing a sermon. I have been delighted and humbled by the quality of the reflections that have been shared, as well as those who have led us in prayer.
The Government asked organisations to declare if they could support their local community. I registered St Paul's and St Luke's, and we soon found ourselves part of Tadley Hub. The Hub comprised Tadley Community Association (The Link), Tadley Helpers (a group of coronavirus volunteers) and a group collecting prescriptions. We met as a hub each week with the local Medical practice to ensure that vulnerable people were supported throughout the pandemic.
I want to pay tribute to all the people whose reports follow this one and to some who don't write a report. Cathy Pynn has led the pastoral care in Pamber Heath, in spite of her own health challenges, and has sustained a weekly online communion service. The leaders of our home groups have gathered their members together online and maintained regular prayerful contact. Deanne Wagstaff has monitored our finances (which have been challenged by the change to church life) and helped us apply for grants. Our Messy Church team have sustained a weekly craft and story for our younger members, and Sandy Phelps and Darren Allwright have shared with me the discipleship of those at Secondary School. Our Fabric team have made our buildings COVID safe, and our churchwardens have picked up all the roles that nobody else could do (or wanted to do!).
Finally I wish to thank you all for supporting our life together and our community, through your prayers, your acts of kindness, your thoughtful messages and phonecalls, your giving, your imagination and creativity. It has been a year when we have not been allowed to do much together, and yet we have achieved all this together. That is the work of the Spirit.
"In this way we are like the various parts of a human body. Each part gets its meaning from the body as a whole, not the other way around. The body we’re talking about is Christ’s body of chosen people. Each of us finds our meaning and function as a part of his body. But as a chopped-off finger or cut-off toe we wouldn’t amount to much, would we? So since we find ourselves fashioned into all these excellently formed and marvellously functioning parts in Christ’s body, let’s just go ahead and be what we were made to be, without enviously or pridefully comparing ourselves with each other, or trying to be something we aren’t.
6-8 If you preach, just preach God’s Message, nothing else; if you help, just help, don’t take over; if you teach, stick to your teaching; if you give encouraging guidance, be careful that you don’t get bossy; if you’re put in charge, don’t manipulate; if you’re called to give aid to people in distress, keep your eyes open and be quick to respond; if you work with the disadvantaged, don’t let yourself get irritated with them or depressed by them. Keep a smile on your face." (Rom 12.4-8. The Message)
St Luke’s Church through the Year Annual report April 2021 Corona virus has changed all our lives and, like everyone, we tried to keep the mission of St Luke’s alive. We used the notice board outside the church to display posters with a short gospel excerpt and a reflection linking it to the situation we were in. Obviously, this wasn’t the same as having our churches open for worship but paradoxically, I think we reached more people because some who wouldn’t have come to church stopped to read the notices outside the church.
In November we were encouraged to toll the bells every evening during the lockdown and we tolled the St Luke’s bell until the last evening when it had obviously done its job and it ceased to ring. We were fortunate to have a rota of people who manned the church (whether the church was open or not) for an hour on 2 different weekdays to be there for prayer or a chat with those on their way to and from the shop.
Lockdown has encouraged us to develop ideas and vision of church and recognise the importance of our outside areas. Children from Pamber Heath, including the1st Pamber Heath Brownies, have been helping to develop a garden at the back of the car park first as an Easter garden, then as a Garden of light and Remembrance covered in poppies, then a Christmas garden covered in stars with a handmade crib taking
pride of place.
Lent has seen additional symbols, in the car park, depicting scenes from Jesus’ life. Each event had a short reflection and a pointer to a charity relevant to the event. These made a path from the road to the garden where the three stark wooden crosses were replaced by a golden cross depicting resurrection and an open tomb.
Our children from the Toddler Group and Pre-school have joined in with activities when it has been possible, and we have kept contact with some through visiting with packs and Easter eggs.
As a community we have had our sadness’s with the deaths of loved relatives and friends from the church and the coffee morning including Sheila Orme, Wendy Alder, Joy Wootton and Lionel Maynard. We trust that they and all of us, whether living or dead are in God’s hands and
We are trying to care for the environment and have updated the lighting with low energy bulbs and placed insulation in part of the church roof to save energy. Outside we have provided our birds with a bird box, bird bath and also a water butt for our garden.
We managed to have a Remembrance Day service in front of our Garden of Remembrance and Christmas services in the church. Courtesy of The Pelican we
had a great attendance (socially distanced) singing carols in their car park accompanied by the Tadley singers. We also held an impromptu Nativity walk and service with our children in the car park in front of the Christmas Garden. Easter we were able to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus in the church. We have been so fortunate to have opportunities of worshipping together sometimes face to face.
It has been a very different year but one in which relationships have developed and in which we have had the opportunity to serve God in many different ways including serving our neighbour.
As always, our thanks to so many people from Pamber Heath and Tadley who have been with us on our journey through this challenging year with its dark and its bright moments.

Hope in a time of crisis - Our Online Church
The church is called to proclaim the gospel afresh to each generation but the pandemic resulted in an unexpected adaptation to the way we met, communicated, worshipped and nurtured each other. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for failing to read the signs of the times. (Matthew 16:2-3) I have been comforted by the tangible acknowledgment of the relevance, centrality, consistency and hope our church has provided our local community at this difficult time both via live services on Zoom and our social media channels. This gives our parish a visible online presence and is often the way new members of our community find us first
Over the past year our online presence has grown significantly in these areas:
-
We have a Parish website - www.stpaulstadley.org.uk and a presence on the Church of England website www.achurchnearyou.com – where we keep a record of our online service attendance.
-
We have linked social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @stpaulstadley and @ StLukesPamberHeath which reach 1000’s of people.
-
A YouTube channel - where we post our Zoom services. Many services have been watched over 100 times.
-
Our schools YouTube channel has enabled us to continue doing assemblies in all of our primary schools
-
Our services online use Zoom and now regularly attract over 100 people each week
-
Meetings and training courses have taken place using Zoom (such as a mental Health course, Bible and prayer courses, Alpha, ministry team meetings, PCC, and youth group)
-
Our homegroups and prayer groups have migrated online where we have had people join from as far away as India!
Our Facebook presence has grown hugely over the last few years. Social networking is a great way of infiltrating many areas of our community, through likes and shares of our posts. St. Paul’s page in particular now has one of the largest following in Tadley, increasing our following to over 730 (It was only a few years ago we were praying for over 100 likes!) Our highest Facebook post reach was 8000 people and our Facebook posts regularly reach well over 1000 people.
As the pandemic continued, we used Zoom for our main Sunday service. This has led to many more of our congregation joining in the delivery of our services and discovering new gifts. We have received positive feedback on our Zoom services which have grown and developed. This has led to the introduction of a weekly 9:15am ‘Messy Church at home’ which regularly attracts over 30 people and combined with our main 10am Zoom service, well over 100 people each Sunday connect with us.
This is a trend which is reflected nationally and Tearfund research confirm an extraordinary surge of new people attending church services online. Significantly the survey says that one in twenty of these new people attending church online have never been to a normal service. It’s equivalent to 3.3 million new people turning to prayer and attending church in the UK in the first six weeks of lockdown. We have witnessed a growth in our own numbers 47 in the first week to over 100 by week 4.

Deanery Synod Report 2020
The Pandemic situation meant that Deanery Synod meetings in 2020 were limited to only one gathering in November, using the Zoom facility.
We were pleased to welcome a high number of clergy and laity members representing 16 parishes in and around Basingstoke. For many newly–elected members this was the first meeting of their 3-year term.
We had an interesting overview of the whole Deanery and so began our time “working together for the Kingdom of God” as we heard of the experiences of members:
Although some churches had been badly affected financially and in terms of attendance, some had seen growth through their on-line worship.
All over the Deanery churches were actively engaged in support of their local communities, often working effectively with other non-Anglican churches and other support agencies.
Decisions had been taken about clergy deployment in the Diocese and it was evident that the ministry of lay members and the strength of working together had become even more vital.

Fabric Notes for 2020 Annual Report
During the year Quinqennial inspections were carried out on St Paul’s, and St Peter’s churches. St Paul’s church was generally found to be in good order. The only significant work to be done being repairs to the roof valleys where the cement had fallen away. Other minor repairs have, or will be carried out by voluntary labour. The inspection also found that hall roof was in need of replacement, this work is due to be carried out in Spring 2021.
To reduce our heating costs, we had hoped to get a grant from the Veolia Environmental Trust to insulate the church hall ceiling, we were, however unsuccessful, which meant that we were unable to go ahead with the project.
St Peter’s Quinquennial Report identified the need to replace old, defective and nonmatching roof tiles, together with various pointing and rendering jobs. As a result of these findings our architect David Enson was given the task of managing this work. Responsibility for replacement of the rotting fence is currently being discussed with Basingstoke Council.
St Luke’s is generally in a good state of repair, however the roof does give a slight cause for concern as the tiles are frost damaged in places and may require replacement in the future. As part of our Eco Church project the lighting has been upgraded to LEDs
Thanks must go to our dedicated team of helpers who do so much to maintain our church buildings and grounds.

Covid 19 Link APCM report
The Link magazine has been in production for 6 years and we felt that this challenging year should be no exception. This Covid 19 year will be recorded in history alongside ‘The Plague’ of 1665 and our communities of Tadley and Pamber Heath have suffered greatly with Covid – the suffering and loss cannot be underestimated.
People have been serving God through our communities both in giving help such as shopping, contacting lonely people by phone and also modifying what were normal practises of schooling and working and of course key workers including NHS staff, delivery people and shop workers. Therefore, the editing team decided to invite contributions from around the community including our surgery, schools, local businesses, Foodbanks, young peoples’ uniformed organisations and churches. We wanted to record the resilience, compassion and care exhibited through this time in this ‘Covid 19’ version of the Link and also to point to the future. We have suffered but we have also been served and the love of God has been with us. We hoped that this special edition of the Link would be testament to this.
Cathy Pynn
Thank you everyone who contributed and a big thank you to Pauline Day and Peter Wood who got the magazine together and published both electronically and in hard copy.

OUR CHURCHES
Due to Covid 19 St Paul’s and St Luke’s have not been used for most of the usual activities other than funerals and occasional services. Services have only been held in church when it has been permitted and will continue to do so as restrictions are lifted. It is anticipated St Peter’s Church will be available again for Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals once restrictions are lifted.
St Paul’s Church Hall
During Covid 19 it has only been the Pre-School which has been able to meet. Again once restrictions are lifted it is hoped that groups will once again use the hall on a regular basis.
St Paul’s Pre-School
Aims of St Paul’s Pre-School: we have an ethos that the child’s first educator is their parents and we as Early Years providers carry that forward. We encourage the children to be individuals and we adapt our teaching to the child’s own way of learning. This allows each child to reach their full potential.
Early Years is constantly changing and developing and as most things they usually do full circle but with the current situation, remote
learning is being brought into the education settings. With pre-school we have done this by sending homework and activity packs home to the children to complete at home, but children of this age learn best through play.
Numbers at the beginning of the pandemic we went down to 2 children now we are nearly up to full capacity of 26 per session. We are constantly moving forward and have adapted to the new norm, the children have adapted more readily and found it easier than us adults.
The manager and the staff at St Paul’s Pre-School have worked hard to build a positive reputation and enjoy working and engaging with the children and parents of Tadley. We are very proud of their achievements.

The IDeome & Expenditure Aecount for the year ending 31112r2020 is showing an overall gain of £7,745. This gain is due to mainty to the reduced spending on our buildings during their closure in 2020. Voluntary Income from Gift Aided donations (Inc Free Will Offering Env.) w&s £43,236.
