The outcome of these trends was a growing disparity, between the increasingly anxious and the increasingly frustrated, between those who benefitted financially from the pandemic and those struggling to get by, between the young and the older. Our Churches mirrored these pressures in society. We wrestled with decisions about when and how to resume activities. We sang behind facemasks, stopped having coffee after services, then started and then stopped again. We met outside, we met on zoom, we met in buildings with all the windows & doors open. Each decision was carefully weighed to help people come and feel safe. Thank you for persevering through the discomfort. I am immensely proud of what we achieved. I know of not one case of transmission of the virus within a church activity across the whole benefice. This was achieved by God's grace, but also by hard work, planning and vigilance. I especially want to thank my clergy colleagues and your church wardens. Very often they were the ones making difficult decisions at the last minute. They have done us all a great service. National research suggested that most churches had lost 20% of their members by September 2021 (before Omicron): sadly, some had died (we have lost a significant number of deeply loyal members), some had stopped coming due to change of habit, some were too frail or anxious to attend, young people had simply moved on. We too have lost members for these reasons, but we have also gained new members: people who found God and faith during the pandemic, often out of heartbreak; people searching for community after so much isolation; people who enjoyed our online services. The challenge is that we have to collectively relearn the habits that sustain our corporate existence: turning up at services, instead of watching at home; joining a cleaning rota or coffee rota; putting some cash in the collection; speaking to a visitor. These unglamorous acts were almost habitual and now they have to be relearned or replaced with better habits. Our churches have changed. We have different clergy: with Gill & Steve Sakakini's move to Bath & Wells, where Gill is a Pioneer Minister in the arts; now Steve & Sarah McKay are leading St Mary's, Tadley; with Rob Young's retirement and period of "sabbatical", the emphasis of his role has shifted, and Cathy Pynn has kindly offered to do more at Silchester; Pat Brown was playing a vital role of supporting Steve in his deacon year at St Mary's, until a brain tumour diagnosis forced her to rest. With the change of clergy, we have seen some of our lay leaders and preachers grow in confidence. This is a direction of travel that will continue as more gain licensed or commissioned status.* 4 Our worship has changed: we no longer have a Sunday service at St Luke's, Pamber Heath; we have paperless services at St Paul's; we no longer use our side chapels, even for mid-week services; we live-stream many acts of worship; most people give on-line, or through the bank. We have Fresh Expressions of church at St Luke's, St Mary's and St Paul's, as we try to engage new younger Christians. It is hard work growing healthy congregations across our benefice, and I am immensely grateful to the small army of volunteers who enable sweet worship to arise to God from the hearts of our different communities. Worship is more than prayer & song; it is the offering of our lives to God (Rom 12.1). This year has seen us seek to serve God by loving our community in new ways: with CTAT (Churches Together) we have arranged Tadley Remembers memorial services, organised open air carols, run the Happiness Lab, Money Mentors, & supported Foodbank, Men's Shed, Samaritan's Purse Christmas Boxes, our local schools and play a leading role in the Tadley Wellbeing Forum, which unites charities, churches and healthcare agencies across the area. Our church members are salt and light in Scouts, RAF cadets, Phoenix Club, school governors, as well as at the school gates, on the allotments, and on social media. Lives that are nourished by prayer and the godly wisdom of the bible are fruitful in so many ways. Our investment in home groups, Lent course and online resources seek to nourish the roots of our lives so that we can be effective agents of God's gracious rule. We always have to find a balance between sustaining the heart of our churches (our prayer, our love for each other, our discipleship, children's work, our buildings and services) and growing our mission (our activities, our charitable giving, our school's work). COVID has upset that balance; rising costs of living and the re-emergence of war in Europe add more threats. My sense is that we will need to work hard to renew the heart of our churches in the face of these threats. We all want to serve our community and love our neighbour better, but we cannot do this well, if the centre is neglected and unloved. I invite you, as you read these annual reports, to pray: "Lord Jesus, thank you for our life together as a church, which aspect of this life do I need to give more to?" If an area interests you, why not contact the leader and offer to help? Thank you all those who have worked through the long pandemic to keep our churches healthy. These have been the toughest years that most of us remember. Thanks especially to those who are reluctantly hanging up their cleaning cloths, spreadsheets, or music books after many years of service. Please pray for those who are leading us out of pandemic habits & mindsets into the new role that God is calling us to play in our communities. * Licensed ministries include LLMs (Charles Lewis & Simon Day) & BPPs (Myles Ridley & Sally Sinclair); Commissioned ministries are BCMs (Em Paddick Wilsdon, Colin Hunt, Eve Baker, Charles & Chris Burge, Sarah McKay, Sally Wood, Marilyn Lewis). 5 ## **Parish of Tadley with Pamber Heath We are one church, but we run 3 buildings with 3 congregations & 2 Fresh Expressions of church. The reports that follow, though focussed in one church or another, are our church at work.** ## **St Paul's Church** This year has seen many transitions, and much new learning. I am so grateful for the work of the PCC and Ministry team who have helped guide us through hard decisions and mountains of extra work & change. We have lost some older friends and gained some new members. **Worship** - we have worn masks in church for the whole year, only towards the end allowing our musicians and singers to lead without them. We have sat apart for most of the year, and we have stopped using hymn books and prayer books. We have not shared a communion cup for communion, instead we have used individual cups. These may seem small things, but they change the way we encounter God. I am immensely grateful to those who have led us in adapting to these changes, especially our musicians and stewards. This year has seen us transition to a music group leading all our main services. I am so grateful to Lisa and Mark Kember, who lead this group. Our LLM in training, Simon Day, our BPP Myles Ridley and BPP in training, Sally Sinclair have become more regular preachers in church as well as on zoom. **Children & Young People** - we ran a weekly "Messy Church at home" on zoom so that we could engage younger children (thanks to our team: Christine & Bryan, Gloria & Brian, Elizabeth & Barry, Steve, Jane) and a weekly Youth on Monday on zoom (thanks to Sandy and Darren). These enabled us to support the faith of about 20 young people each week, but it was really hard to provide anything for the youngest children, and by 2021 many children were fed up of online activities. When we restarted Messy Church in October we were delighted that nearly 50 children came back, but we recognised that some had moved on, and all had changed over the 2 years of lockdowns. We moved children's Sunday groups into the hall, and each week Diddy Disciples (ages 1-6) and Kids Club (ages 7-12) have met. This has involved significant energy and time given by our teams: Christine & Bryan, Gloria & Lynn, Elizabeth & Barry, Suzie, Jane, May, Rachel, Nikki, Nicole, Shelley, Janet, Helen, Mel & Kayla. Numbers have been quite low, and COVID has forced the occasional shut down, but I am immensely proud and grateful that we have been able to cater for young people throughout the pandemic. I acknowledge the effort of all involved. **Home Groups** - are where much of our adult learning and pastoral care takes place. Each group has its own pattern and programme; some have very consciously tried to grow their groups with outreach activities. I thank the groups hosts and leaders, especially: Esther & Sandy, Myles & Pat, Andrew, Cathy & John. We also ran Alpha and the Prayer Course & Bible Course, and Living in Love and Faith course. We encourage all church members to join either a home group or team (e.g. messy church, music etc) so we can express our faith and grow in understanding. 6 **Mission** - the church exists by and for mission. We show and tell the good news of Jesus as we run activities (many based at St Luke's - see below), conduct funerals and weddings, visit the sick, take school assemblies, post on social media, and love our neighbours. Some of our activities this year: Richard has convened and run the Tadley Well-being Forum; Bryan and Christine have emptied the Foodbank collection box every week; with CTAT we have run Happiness Lab, Money Mentors, Living with Loss cafe, Open the Book, Easter and Christmas events; we have cared for individuals with our Fellowship Fund for those in financial need; we have given money to support projects in Uganda (via CMS partners, Tom and Verity) and to Christian Aid, Foodbank and Citizen's Advice (Tadley). 7 ## **St Luke’s Church** 1. **Worship of God** continues in and around Pamber Heath. Towards the end of the pandemic when services were restarted, the Wednesday midweek Communion moved to St Paul’s where there was more space for social distancing. We recommenced the Wednesday services at St Luke’s in the Autumn 2021. Our acts of service to the community consist mainly of the coffee morning on Thursday when we reach out to our older friends and Toddlers group with service on a Friday for Toddlers and families. In all of these services we draw upon the people attending to work with us so that teamwork binds us together. Eating and sharing our experiences are the baseline activities on which we build. In the case of Toddlers, we have activities suitable to the age range - these activities are fun, and some will relate to our faith through bible stories or life experiences. In all of these we are indebted to the legion of people who support in prayer, providing resources, practical help and wisdom. The coffee morning is missing the two people who have ensured its success and given warmth and care to all who have attended, Wendy and Rita. They are greatly missed. Kathryn Mercer has hung up her coffee making apron and tea towel this year. She is greatly missed not just for all she has done over many years both making cakes and serving coffee and food but also for the pastoral care she has given to so many of us. We thank God for all those who give their time and talents for coffee morning and Toddlers and are grateful for the new teams we have for both. Our worship of God continues through our garden and flower displays. We are very fortunate to have help from villagers in maintaining the garden and we hope to have a woodland flower garden this summer. (It is currently under a blue plastic sheet, but we hope all will be revealed soon!) ## 2. **People and events.** - Sadly, some long-term members of St Luke’s have died this year – Wendy Alder, Angie Allen, Jean Burn, Rita Charlwood, Rita Ridout, Joy Wootton. They are all people who have contributed faithful service, love and commitment to the life of St Luke’s and the village and are deeply missed. These people have been part of our family life at St Luke’s and whilst missing them and joining with their relatives and friends in mourning their deaths, we also recognise the continuation of life after death and the unity we still share with them. - Phyl Smith has now moved to a care home in Earley Reading after many years of being part of the church and village community. We wish her well in her new home. Louise O’Byrne moved into a care home a few years ago and has just celebrated her 100[th] birthday. Congratulations to Louise. Visiting of old friends continues and our hope is that people are not forgotten when they move away. - Whilst we hope to minister to people within our community, we are aware of being ministered to by many people and thank God for the generous support of our neighbours and friends who help with our spring cleaning, flowers, shrub pruning, lawn mowing and many other activities which can go on quietly and unnoticed. - Covid has curtailed so many activities, but we continue to enjoy our monthly pub gathering in the Pelican Pub and contributing to the Village newsletter. 8 - The Ladies group now has its monthly meeting at St Luke’s and I was privileged to talk to them about some of the history of St Luke’s from when it started as a school and church in 1880 to the present day! It was then, as now, a building dedicated to God and serving the community in many diverse ways and celebrating God’s love in everyday life in the school as well as in the Sunday worship. - Opening up the church after its closure during COVID meant searching out and removing dust, spiders and sundry other interesting specimen. The windows and walls glistened, and a wonderful sense of cleanliness pervaded the atmosphere. It also gave an opportunity for giving a good clean to many items in the church. The Toddler team had great fun washing all the toys (and of course testing that they work!) Thank you everyone who helped to get us up and running. 3. **Building** We are very lucky to have many people who have maintained our building both inside and out and our car park and garden. Also, others who behind the scenes are very active in DIY, routine cleaning and ensuring that notices are put up in a timely manner. The bell has been repaired thanks to generous donations from the community. 4. **Easter Garden -** Helium balloons were pegged down in the garden at Pentecost and knitted poppies hung on the Passionflower at Remembrance. A lighted crib was place in the garden at Christmas. A line of flowering pots has been provided between the road and the garden to encourage passers-by espy the garden. Every year, I feel that we need to be aware of so many people who through service to the community enable our community in its worship and living together. Under the guiding hand and leadership of our Rector, Richard, St Luke’s is actively engaged in worship not just in the church services but also in the many ways in which people participate in the local community. We thank God for all those who help as part of our community and contribute in many different ways. Everybody is valued and we thank everyone for their commitment in time, energy and prayer. As always, the overall feeling for this year is that of a friendly, caring community working together for the praise and glory of God. John and Cathy Pynn ## **Deanery Synod Report 2021** In common with many groups, meetings of Basingstoke Deanery Synod in the early part of 2021 took place on Zoom. A very encouraging National Deaneries Network meeting took place on-line in March and enabled around 200 representatives of the national churches to share in the vision for Lay Ministry, and to rejoice in the Christian presence in every community. 9 For the Basingstoke Deanery, encompassing around 16 parishes, our first meeting in person was a real celebration taking place here in Tadley in July as we enjoyed the summer’s evening in the gardens at St Paul’s to share our concerns and our joys. At St Mary’s, Eastrop in October, we heard of initiatives like the Community Food Link and the Basingstoke Movement for Recovery: the churches working together ecumenically alongside the Police, the business community and those in social care and the voluntary sector to support those in need around our area. One statistic quoted was that 596 volunteers had been involved in helping 11,507 people. On behalf of the whole Deanery, we thank Richard for his work guiding and encouraging the clergy and parishioners across Basingstoke and the surrounding area. Your Deanery representatives during this year were Kayla Harlow and Christine Watson (Secretary). There is currently one vacancy ## **Fabric Notes for 202** 1 **Annual Report** ## **St Luke’s** The broken bell rope has been replaced, along with the metal pivot on the clanger that was found to have worn through. The external piece of rope was substituted with a metal wire for longevity. As part of our ‘green’ initiative a bike rack was fitted, together with new LED lighting, a rainwater collection system, bird box and roof insulation. ## **St Paul’s** Parts of the grounds were left un-mowed during May as part of the No Mow May initiative with the aim of allowing the wildflowers (daisy, dandelion etc.) to flower, before they are cut. A number of bird boxes were made and fitted to further encourage wildlife. A raised stage at the front of the church has been installed, fourteen inputs are now available via the existing mixer making setting up much easier ## **St Paul’s Church Hall** The existing felt roof was replaced with fibre glass covering over 100mm of insulation to bring it up to the latest standard. As part of this work the existing tank on the roof was replaced and the water supply converted to mains pressure. ## **St Peter’s** The schedule of work arising from last year’s Quinquennial was issued by our previous architect, David Ensom. Bids have been received from three contractors to carry out the major repairs documented in David’s Statement of Work. The cost will be around £40k. David Ensom has now retired, and his place taken by Ryan Bunce. The broken fence has been replaced by the council. All this work could not be accomplished without the work and fundraising efforts of our team of volunteers. Bryan Watson 10 ## **Gift Aid Officer INTERIM Statement to AGM** ## **Drafted by J Scott 26-Mar-2022** In March 2022 our active planned donor numbers stand at 68. The 68 active planned donors contribute via following systems; 1. 32 are mainly donating via the Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) ◦ 27 declaring gift aid eligibility ◦ 5 not eligible for gift aid 2. 29 are mainly donating via bank standing orders ◦ 21 declaring eligibility for gift aid ◦ 8 not eligible for gift aid 3. 7 are mainly donating via either weekly or monthly free will envelopes ◦ 6 declaring eligibility for gift aid ◦ 1 not eligible for gift aid In addition to the above, there have been 8 donors contributing specific (“casual”) donations during FY 21/22. ◦ and declaring eligibility for gift aid. In the FY 21/22 period up to mid-Mar-2022 the total of the Gift Aid to be reclaimed on eligible donations eligible donations was; • £ under PGS (– was £3,604 last year, expect a little higher this year) • £3,730 from the combination of bank donations, free will envelopes & casual donations Further to this, it is expected that a sum of c.£1,877 of tax will be reclaimed under the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme (GASDS) Buildings system (for the same period). The total tax reclaimable for FY21/22 (-up to mid Mar-2022) will be c.£9,211. I have not yet taken into account; • any donations received via bank donations through January, February, or March 2022 • any other donations that might be received from mid-March until end of the financial year. Our thanks to all the donors over the year and again to those who have opted to use bank standing orders and the Parish Giving Scheme. This allows us to reduce the number of envelopes required and significantly reduces the work of the sides persons and bankers supporting the Parish ## STATISTICS ## **Church Electoral Roll 2021** The total number of names on the Roll as at 31[st] December 2021 was 110 ## **STATISTICS FOR MISSION 2021** These totals include all three churches: St Paul’s St Peter’s and St Luke’s. Due to Covid 19 the majority of services until the summer were held via Zoom but once permitted the churches were once again open for services, this is reflected in the statistics ## **FESTIVALS** ## **EASTER** ## **CHRISTMAS** **YEAR COMMUNICANTS ATTENDING YEAR COMMUNICANTS ATTENDING** 11 2014 96 118 2015 114 452 2015 81 93 2016 101 426 2016 89 115 2017 149 573 2017 87 134 2018 148 579 2018 93 130 2019 118 537 2020 Zoom 200 In person 38 2021 32 32 2021 60 200 **CHURCH ATTENDANCE IN OCTOBER** – Figures submitted for National Statistics Average Weekly Attendance over all three Churches (not including online attendees) **SUNDAYS WEEKDAYS YEAR ADULTS UNDER 16 YEARS YEAR ADULTS UNDER 16 YEARS 2014 90 14 2015 8 0 2015 66 10 2016 28 0 2018 89 11 2018 23 25 2019 73 14 2019 22 14 2020 38 2020 38 2021 50 6 2021 21 0** ## **Pastoral Services** The Parish is privileged to be involved at major moments in people’s lives and hidden within these figures are real people.

Once again, the Church Hall is started to be used again for social and fundraising, beginning with a successful Christmas Bazaar organised by Pat Brown. Monthly social events are also planned in 2022 and already there has been a successful Pancake Party and a celebration for mothers. An Agape meal is planned as the Maundy Thursday service. Our thanks go to Kayla Harlow, who has cleaned the hall each week voluntarily, and to Christine Watson who stocks all the disposable items. We have not paid a cleaner since 2019. 12 The hall also continues to be the regular meeting place for several non-church organisations such as: - St Paul’s pre-school - 1[st] Tadley Guides - Pamber Forest Seniors - Yoga group ## **St Paul’s Pre-School Report March 2022** Aims of St Paul’s Pre-School; our ethos remains the same, we believe the parents are the child’s first educator and we as Early Years providers we carry this forward. All children are individuals and as Early Years providers we provide the ‘gateway to your child’s next adventure’. We have come through the pandemic stronger and more willing to ensure the world adapts for our children. We set restrictions at pre-school to ensure we were able to work and that our children were able to access the pre-school, we have adapted throughout to ensure that all our children, staff and families are safe. The staff have worked tirelessly and are full of joy and enthusiasm in their dedication to the pre-school this is shown in the delight of our children who attend. With this we are receiving positive feedback from the community and now showing a healthy intake yearly. We have great support from Richard and Kayla and they work well with the pre-school and the team. We are very proud of the staff and the children at St Paul’s Pre-School to show such dedication and pride in their roles. ## **Christine Doudican & Sharon Sumner Owners Brookside Pre-School Ltd** ## **Thank you to all volunteers** As the churches have gradually re-opened as Covid 19 restrictions have been lifted many of our volunteers, have continued to maintain the life of the church. Particular thanks go this year to everyone who has helped to ensure the churches are Covid compliant to enable the services to go ahead.
