I had expected about now to be looking for jobs across the country, but never did I expect to hold the fort from August 2022 as Priest in Charge or by December to be appointed as your new Rector. It seems God had other plans as we know God’s plans are always good, so I am happy and excited to follow where he leads and serve you for a while longer in Tadley, Pamber Heath, and Silchester. I would like to formally record my thanks to our six wonderful Church Wardens who along with PCC members have ensured everything continues to run smoothly in our parishes. They also had to contend with the CofE recruitment process which is lengthy and time-consuming for all involved. I am also grateful to my clergy, BCM, BPP and LMM colleagues who have stepped up to ensure all our services happen. Thanks especially to Charles Lewis, Sally Sinclair, Myles Ridley, Colin Hunt, Em Paddick-Wilsdon, Simon Day, Christine Watson, Eve Baker, Cathy Pynn, and Rob Young all of whom appear very regularly on our rotas leading services and serving our communities. Without them much of what we did in 2022 would not have been possible. From August onwards I also noticed my emphasis shifted from mission to administrative tasks, just to keep the show on the road, I find this frustrating to say the least! I also cannot deny that I am finding it hard to split myself three ways, I get frustrated that I cannot ofer more of myself to each parish, but I hope in 2023 as we recruit new staf this will improve. For now, I will highlight some of the amazing things our parishes have 3 been involved in during 2022 as we seek to love God and one another around our benefice: ## **January** We kicked the year of by launching a new service aimed at families called RISE. From small beginnings this family breakfast church has grown, sometimes attracting up to 90 people from our community. Alongside Messy Church during 2022 we ofered three Sundays in Tadley where families could be church together. This was cut to two Sundays when Richard Harlow left, but my hope is that in 2023 we develop a service across the benefice every Sunday that families can attend. Messy Church has continued at St. Paul’s on the 2[nd] Sunday and regularly attracts over 100 people each month. I am grateful to our large group of RISE and Messy Church volunteers who lead these fresh expressions. Also, in January, we held our annual CTAT Unity Service at St. Mary’s, Tadley. This was well attended with over 100 people from across Tadley, Pamber Heath and Silchester. The theme of the service was ‘gifts’ and we considered how we could use our gifts to serve God and communities better. We ended January with a benefice service at St. Paul’s where this theme was continued. It is always special when our parishes join together in worship. ## **February** The War in Ukraine meant our parishes had to act swiftly and decisively to provide comfort and a focus for the community. All 3 of our parishes opened their churches for prayer and to light candles. The community was so appreciative of this. In particular, St. Mary’s social media following grew by around 250 during this time and both St. Mary’s and St. Paul’s appeared in the local newspaper. We also experienced some heavy storms in February and St. Mary’s, St. Luke’s and St. Mary the Virgin were open as warm safe spaces. Although during the storms, St. Mary’s, Tadley did sustain some damage, however, this has now been repaired and resulted in the floor being refinished. As we approached Lent, St. Mary’s, Tadley had a pancake party, ofering pancakes to all those on their way home from school. Peter Wood even stoically sat outside in the rain with his BBQ to attract people in! Meanwhile, the young people in our STAND group at St. Paul’s had their 4 own pancake party that evening as they talked about what Lent meant to them. ## **March** As we entered March Lent was punctuated by the annual World Day of Prayer and our churches were invited to take part in a CTAT service at the Salvation Army in Tadley. Attendance at this event has grown each year. Throughout Lent as well as our popular home groups and social groups several benefice Lent events were held. I held a 6-week Lent course each week in St. Mary’s which was attended by people from all three of our parishes. We discovered and experimented with spiritual disciplines some familiar to the Church of England, others less so. I think that everyone took away at least one new spiritual practice which I hope they are finding beneficial in their daily walk with God. Special Lent services and reflections were also held at St. Mary the Virgin Silchester. Also, in March the Silchester String Group conducted by Jean Filkin performed a concert in Silchester Village Hall. It is wonderful that so many events like this blur the edges between village and church life. **April** The annual Palm Sunday walk departed from the Silchester Village Hall car park. A Church service was held at 11.00 am with cofee and hot cross buns served before the service. Both the walk and service looked to have been well attended. We look forward in 2023 to taking part in this as a benefice On Good Friday St. Mary’s hosted the annual CTAT Good Friday service outside the church with music by Tadley Concert Brass. This is always well attended and over 130 people joined in. Time around the cross followed this at both Tadley and in Silchester. Our Easter Day services were well attended and at St. Mary’s in the afternoon we hosted a RISE Easter egg hunt. Also, in April a party at Bishopswood Grange for Ukraine was arranged to raise money for relief eforts in Ukraine. This was well attended by all churches in Tadley In April, July, and September we also held CTAT Prayer walks and litter picks. All three of these were 5 coordinated by St. Mary’s and St. Paul’s but were attended by members from across CTAT churches. We prayed for our community and specifically families and young people. Although we are regular visitors to all our local primary schools, it is still difficult to get into the Hurst, so much of our prayer was centred around the school. **----- Start of picture text -----**

During May our Licensed Lay Minister Charles Lewis received the Basingstoke and Deane Mayor's award for his outstanding service to the Tadley community and Air Cadets. Presenting the award Cllr Cubitt said: “Charles and his wife Marilyn are dedicated hardworking, supportive, resourceful, and exemplary in all they do for our wider community and the cadets.” We expect Simon Day our LLM in training to be licenced 2023. I am grateful to our BCM, BPP, and LMM for their support this year. In May St Mary the Virgin also had the Kingsclere Singers perform their 'Sacred and Secular' concert on Saturday 7th May. Proceeds went to the Disasters Emergency Committee, Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. Meanwhile at St. Mary’s, Tadley a plant sale was held outside the church raising over £400 in two hours! St. Mary’s was awarded a £40,000 match funding grant from Greenham Trust this year, so in actual fact over £800 was raised. Also, in May the annual St. Paul’s annual Christian Aid Car wash and breakfast took place. I am grateful to Christine and Bryan Watson who make this happen and all the volunteers It is a great community event that raises lots of money. This year over £1000! I am grateful to our church teams for the relentless fundraising that has taken place this year. ## **June** In June we celebrated the Queens Platinum Jubilee. St. Paul’s kicked this of with a CTAT party on Saturday, July 4[th ] to which the whole community was invited. There were games, music and cream teas and over 250 people from the community enjoyed an afternoon together. This was another example of 6 church and community working together as one. Thanks to a grant from Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council we were able to buy resources that can be used in the parish for future community events. On the Sunday of that weekend, our three parishes were represented on the CTAT stall at the Tadley Treacle Fair. I was pleased to be able to spend the afternoon talking to the community about our churches. On the same day, St. Mary’s held a special Jubilee service and led a Community Jubilee Party which was really well attended by those on their way (or way back from the Treacle Fair) The event was supported with a grant from Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council and many families commented it was wonderful to have a free event in Tadley. Meanwhile Silchester parish celebrated on the Green for a Jubilee (and Pentecost) service. This was well attended and a great witness to our community’ Also at Silchester, Robin Scott played and sang at a Gospel Service led by Rev Rob at Mary the Virgin Silchester. A sale of plants and produce in June in aid of Farm Africa. were held outside St. Mary the Virgin Sadly, in June we also lost Reverend Pat Brown after a short battle with a brain tumour. Our loss of Pat cannot be underestimated, both as a friend and minister in Tadley, Pamber Heath and Silchester. Pat served these communities with quiet determination, carrying out thousands of services including many weddings, baptisms and funerals. She was instrumental in seeing St. Paul’s through some tough times and interregnums as well as many fetes, Christmas fairs and monthly markets. She was always 100% supportive of her colleagues. Her loss particularly in Tadley and Pamber Heath is still raw. ## **July** In July it was an honour to be priested and we celebrated with a Benefice Holy Communion outside St. Mary’s, Tadley with around 100 people. Also, in July the CTAT ministers led ‘Tadley Remembers’ - a memorial service where we remembered those that had been lost to Covid. I invited families from all three of our parishes for whom we had **----- Start of picture text -----**

conducted funerals. This event allowed us to reconnect with families more deeply, and the events seemed to be valued by all who attended. The Tadley Men’s Shed was also on-site at St. Mary’s, Tadley in July as they moved a shed to make way for a portacabin. Unfortunately, the legal process of siting another organisation on church land is taking longer than we hoped, but we hope to welcome the Men’s Shed to St. Mary’s Tadley in 2023. Tadley with Pamber Heath parish held their annual fete on The Green in July. A great deal of efort went into the event with all the usual stalls and attractions. It was however one of the hottest days of the year well in excess of 30oC, so attendance at the fete by the community was lower than normal. On 24[th] July Bishop David visited Silchester to lead a service of thanksgiving for the restoration of the bells. During 2020, the five Bells and hangers at St Mary’s Church were restored using modern materials whilst maintaining the originality of the bell structure. This work was only able to be undertaken owing to the eforts of the Bellringing team who raised over £30,000. Shortly after these events Reverend Canon Richard Harlow announced that he had been appointed as Archdeacon of Huntingdon and Wisbech and would be stepping down as our benefice Rector. On the last Sunday in July, we gathered as a benefice to thank Richard and celebrate his new role. As the only other stipendiary priest in the benefice, I was left in charge by default. I thank Richard and Kayla for all that they have sacrificed to lead us to where we are in this benefice and I pray that their time in their new home is both rewarding and enjoyable. ## **August** At the beginning of August St. Mary’s took part in the Tadley and Baughurst Scarecrow Trail. Living next door to the church enabled me to see just how many visits we received each day. One day this was close to 100 families. This was a great opportunity to get out and meet so many of the community. I am grateful to the team at St. Mary’s for making this happen…even if our May Queen arrived by car headless! I hope that next year with more benefice staf we can extend this also to St. Paul’s Also, to Keith and his band of growing ‘Wednesday Weeders’ and the ‘rota-mowers’ who keep St. Mary’s grounds looking so lovely. It was a pleasure to marry so many couples in our churches throughout the summer, particularly at St. Mary the Virgin Silchester which remains a popular choice for couples both locally and from further afield. We also had several weddings at St. Paul’s including Liz and Dale, long terms neighbours of the church. Also, in August afternoon teas were held at St. Mary the Virgin every afternoon over the Bank Holiday weekend. 8 All proceeds went to the Mercy Ships charity. I was pleased to visit one afternoon and see so many people in the church. Stillness on Sundays was another event that began in August. This remains a popular feature at St. Mary the Virgin and I am grateful to Eve Baker for leading this. ## **September** September began with the annual Silchester fete. Thank you to all who helped, supported and attended the Silchester Fete and Dog Show and Silchester Village Market. It's great to get so many people (and their dogs) together to show what Silchester, the surrounding area and the church has to ofer. September also saw our annual Battle of Britain Memorial service led by Charles Lewis, which was attended by the Air Training Corps and several local dignitaries. We also had several baptisms during September. With each of these events, I have been careful to obtain permission for the church to pray for them and to stay in pastoral contact with families who may wish to come to other events. Our country mourned the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II. A Tadley town book of condolence was opened by St. Mary’s, Tadley while in Silchester St. Mary the Virgin and the village hall hosted a book of condolence. Silchester had to make the difficult decision to cancel the barn dance on 25th September as it fell within the sevenday period of mourning after the funeral. However, the Beer Festival did go ahead. At the end of the month, we held a benefice service at St. Mary’s, Tadley with a visit from Bishop David. As this was still in the period of mourning, we had to adapt the planned service at short notice. We also returned to the common cup in communion for the first time in 2 years. This was short-lived however, as it resulted in many in our churches contracting Covid The weekend after our benefice service a group of us went to see Rev Richard Harow collated as Archdeacon. It was fantastic to support Richard after all of the love and support he has given to our parishes over the years. ## **October** During October after much planning, The CTAT Tadley Autumn Arts Festival took place both in Tadley (mainly at St. Mary’s) and in Silchester at St. 9 Mary the Virgin. It was a real joy to see the talents of so many in our community. I am grateful to Jean Filkin who organised the musical elements of the festival. It was also a privilege to hear the bell team ringing the refurbished bells at Silchester and even to have a go myself…it’s not as easy as they make it look! As well as the Arts Festival our focus also began to shift towards remembrance. I managed to feature in The Times newspaper, thanks to the Tadley Community Poppy Cascade which adored St. Mary’s, Tadley tower, marking the start of the Arts Festival. 100’s of our community knitted 1000’s of poppies and this was a great collaboration between the church and community. St. Paul’s also had a mini poppy cascade in the Tadley War Memorial. Also, in October Sally Sinclair was licensed with a Bishop’s Permission to Preach joining Myles Ridley who has a BPP to preach at Tadley and Pamber Heath, although Sally and Myles are licensed to preach across the benefice. Marilyn Lewis also received her BCM in Pastoral care joining Sarah (who was licensed the year before) and our team of wonderful BCM leaders across the benefice. Harvest was celebrated in our churches with lots of donations to the local Food Bank and some of the wonderful decorations gifted to us to decorate the church. At the end of October our benefice All-Soul’s service was well attended. Nearly all families for whom we have taken a recent funeral attended having received personal invites. We have received some wonderful feedback about how touched the families were to be included and how the event has helped the grieving process. We also ended October with a benefice service at St. 10 Paul’s where I preached on the theme of giving back to God what is his, as we considered our stewardship of his resources. ## **November** November focussed on remembrance and as well as St. Mary’s memorial service, Charles Lewis led the act of remembrance at the Baughurst War Memorial which around 400 people attended. The usual act of Remembrance took place Silchester at the Silchester War Memorial and the afternoon RBL service at St. Paul’s was also well attended with all uniformed organisations and around 300 people. An Act of Remembrance was also held at St. Luke’s for the Pamber Heath community. St. Mary’s Tadley opened a new remembrance garden with an opening and closing service and time to allow the local community to plant crosses. Rosemary was planted as a sign of remembrance and local dignitaries and the newspaper were in attendance. At Paul’s Messy Church was held and we had our highest attendance this year at 120 people. During November we continued talks with Tadley Men’s Shed about siting the project in the grounds of St. Mary’s. We have hit some obstacles with leasing out church land in which AWE also has an interest, but I hope this will be resolved soon and I am delighted that we will be siting the shed and welcoming this organisation to St. Mary’s, Tadley in 2023. I want to acknowledge the success of Winter Wonderland, the community event which took place from at the end of November that helped to raise money for St. Mary’s, Tadley building project in the community. I am thankful to all those who gave so much of themselves to ensure it was a success, especially Marilyn Lewis and Sally Wood, although the whole weekend was truly a team event. Several dignitaries attended such as the Mayor of Basingstoke and the leader of Tadley Town Council. Again, we made the local newspapers. St. Mary’s Tadley was also represented with a stall at the Ambrose Allan Centre for the Tadley Christmas tree lights switch on 11 ## **December** As expected in December our focus turned to Christmas with these services: **Messy Christmas** at St. Paul’s brought the nativity story to Tadley as most children (and some parents dressed up. Attendance was not as high as in November but a great time was had by everyone. The week after Christmas was kicked of at St. Mary’s Tadley with **RISE** where we celebrated Christingle. It felt right to open up our Christmas celebrations with an all-age celebration and thanks to the materials from the Children’s Society. This was very well attended. That evening our **Carol Services** took place at St. Mary’s, Tadley and St. Mary the Virgin, Silchester, both were well-received and St. Mary’s Tadley had record numbers for this this service. I was sad that we couldn’t fit in a carol service at St. Paul’s but hope next year to be able to do this. **Tadley Sings Christmas** on the Monday and Tuesday of Christmas week should have been outdoor services, but the weather prevented this. Previously these had been well attended (in the 100s) but numbers were down, I think due to the weather and being indoors. Nevertheless, they were a great witness to our community. **The Crib and nativity Services** on Christmas Eve all proved really popular. Record numbers were record at St. Mary’s, Tadley and also around 200 people in St. Paul’s. Services were also held at Silchester and St. Luke’s, Pamber Heath. A Silchester this was a 4pm service - ‘The Greatest Story Ever Told.’ It is a testament to the strength of the team that we could hold 4 services on this day. **Tadley Midnight Communion** was held at 11:30pm on Christmas Eve at St. Mary’s, Tadley, St. Luke’s Pamber Heath and St. Mary the Virgin, Silchester. These again were well attended. It was also a joy to see a couple of families for whom I had conducted funerals attending the Tadley service. **The Christmas Day services were also well attended in Tadley** . These were All Age Worship at St. Paul’s, and Holy Communion at St. Mary’s, Tadley. It was great that several visiting family and friends attended. At Silchester an early 8am Book of Common Prayer holy communion service 12 was held, whilst not an ideal time of a Christmas Morning, it did mean there was something for everyone on Christmas Day. My only regret is that we didn’t have the staffing to ofer a Christmas service at St. Peter’s Church. I hope in 2023 to be able to do this. I am also grateful to everyone who provides weekly or monthly events which happen throughout the year such as the Toddler Group and Cofee Mornings at St Luke’s. The Wednesday Café and Wednesday Weeders at St. Mary’s, Tadley. Stillness on Sundays at Silchester. As well as all our home groups across the benefice. We are a benefice that does a lot and this is growing fruit. St. Mary’s, Tadley is particularly seeing good growth in all services, including those who are seeking a more traditional service. Our numbers on average have doubled in 2 years on a Sunday and are growing on a Wednesday. Both St. Luke’s and St. Mary’s have between 15 – 30 people each Wednesday and these are often a diferent group to those that come on a Sunday. Silchester and Tadley South numbers are stable, and higher than average for the size of the church compared to others in the diocese. I am grateful to Charles Lewis who stalwartly leads our Wednesday services and has assisted me with Sundays. Also, to Cathy and Rob who give so much of themselves to ensure services go ahead and our team of Lay BBP and BCM leaders who have also kept everything going this year. Our range of services is appealing to diferent people. With the addition of Breakfast Church and Messy Church, we have seen further growth. I am grateful to everyone on our church rotas for your time, energy and patience in making sure all our services and events happen. Finally, I am pleased to report that our Facebook pages to grow, St. Paul’s has gained over 100 new followers this year and we are approaching 1000, St. Mary’s, Tadley is not far behind having gained over 500 more followers over the last 2 years. In some months our reach has been to over 22,000 people ## **Looking ahead to 2023** - We will be joined by a new benefice curate who hopes to serve all of our churches. I hope that I can serve you as your Rector with more parity, sharing my time and our new curate’s time between our parishes. - We expect to be able to employ a resident priest in Silchester on a House for Duty basis. - I will be licenced as Rector in June 2023 and will move into the Rectory in May 2023. - In 2023 I will be appointed Moderator of Churches Together Around Tadley and Chaplain to the next Mayor of Basingstoke. - We will expand of Wednesdays as St. Mary’s, Tadley mission hub day by starting a mission hub day on a Thursday at St. 13 Paul’s and St. Luke’s by continuing the Cofee Morning and re-introducing Cofee While U Wait in the afternoon. I hope that we may even start a Repair Shop or invite other community groups to join us on these days. - We will hold our final fundraising event at St. Mary’s having reached our match funding total of £40,000 and our building project target of £150,000. Tenders will be invited to start the building refurbishment project after Easter. - We will begin fundraising at St. Paul’s to replace the two storage garages, while at Silchester we will seek planning to site a container to improve storage for the community. - I hope that the Men’s Shed will be able to site their portacabin at St. Mary’s, Tadley, which will enable them to site their shed and begin activities at St. Mary’s. This will lead to another day of activities on the St. Mary’s site. - A school garden – having received the grant last year, we hope to work with the schools this year at St. Mary’s, Tadley adding to our programme of events each Wednesday. - As a spin-of from RISE we hope to be able to ofer a new afternoon - ‘Messy’ style Church for older primary and lower secondaryaged students. - There are CTAT events every month and tin 2023 we hope to hold two big Coronation celebrations in Tadley and Silchester. We have received a grant from Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council of the Tadley celebrations. Holiday Club will take place in August 2023 Next year will be full of excitement, please hold all these things in your prayers. I look forward to what God has in store for us as a community in the times ahead, as well as continuing to serve you all as your Rector. I pray that ‘ _we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him, who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.’_ (Eph 4:15-16) Reverend Steve McKay March 2023 Rector Designate of the Benefice of Tadley with Pamber Heath and Silchester. Moderator - Churches Together Around Tadley Chaplain to The Mayor of Basingstoke. 14 ## **St Luke’s the Pop-Up Church** St Luke’s is part of the Benefice of Tadley with Pamber Heath and Silchester and has been very fortunate to have the service and commitment of the Rector, the Revd Richard Harlow and his wife Kayla. We thank God for their ministry. Since October, we welcome our Rector designate Revd Steve McKay and his wife Sarah, praising God for the smooth transition. Four years ago the General Synod of the Church of England made Sunday services non-compulsory to ease the burden of clergy in large rural benefices. At St Luke’s, we now have no Sunday service but that does not mean a lack of worship of God in this lovely church. The pop up nature of the church means that it is used by diferent communities on diferent days. It is thanks to Revd Steve McKay, Revd Rob Young, our church wardens Christine Watson and Jean Kyle and our master of all trades, Bryan Watson, in particular for all their support and hard work in keeping the church safe and available. There are many other people over the year who have enhanced the worshipping life of the church with flowers, gardening, cleaning and verging, putting up notices around the village etc. We benefit enormously for their ministry. Our main worshipping communities gather on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday with occasional Sunday services on special occasions such as Christmas and Easter Our Wednesday Communion community comprises people from all over the Benefice and gives us an opportunity to worship God together and to keep in contact with each other and the life of the other churches in the Benefice. Steve, Rob and I have the privilege of leading these services – it is a good space for reflection and prayer in the middle of the week. Our Thursday Cofee morning is a place where we greet and meet many people from Pamber Heath and around and enjoy cofee and biscuits and a good chat whilst remembering those who are no longer able to be with us. It has been great to welcome new faces this year. It is so good to be together, sharing laughter, sadness and all the other emotions we face in our daily lives. Meeting in our church reminds us of God’s presence in all that we do and are. All of this would not be possible without Pauline Day and Marian Goss. Pauline organises the refreshments most weeks. In her time away visiting Katy, Tam and Joseph, in New Zealand, diferent people came forward and took on Pauline’s role of welcoming people and putting a warm drink in their hand. Marian keeps our register and she and I try to keep an eye on people who don’t appear for a while. We had a wonderful Christmas party with Marian’s aunt, Judy, providing a sumptuous spread and entertainment and singing led by the Tadley U3A Ukulele group. Our Friday morning community comprises all ages from tiny babies to Grandmas and Grandads as we rearrange the church to become a child’s paradise of toys including trains, railways, garages, cars, trampoline, learning activities on the Tuf table. We have had to say goodbye to one of our team, Val, for family reasons and the remining 4 of us work together (as well as enjoy ourselves!) to welcome carers and children under 5 years of age. It is a very therapeutic morning for everyone and again, food is part of the scene. Our sessions are 15 planned half termly with a specific theme each week supported by our craft and Tuf table activities. ## **People and activities** St Luke’s has a wonderful heritage of people who have built up the ministry here. We have been saddened to hear of the death of Revd John Evans a well-loved curate in Tadley and Pamber Heath. Louise O’Byrne moved into a care home a few years ago and died in February aged 101. We thank God for her life and her love and commitment to St Luke’s and the Methodist church in Tadley. Michael Sharma (Gloria’s husband) died this year and we miss him and his wonderful knowledge of orchids and other plants. Eddie Alder has moved into a care home in Hook and enjoying life with lots of activities including Jigsaw puzzles. We wish him well in his new home. Around 25 people meet at our monthly pub gatherings at the Pelican for great food and company. ## **Easter Garden** Thanks to Hazel and John our garden has given has wonderful flower shows and it was lovely to have a beautiful pot of flowers to celebrate Mothers’ day. Thank you. 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 Designate, Steve, 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 diferent 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 friendly, caring communities working together for the praise and glory of God. Cathy and John Pynn ## **Deanery Synod Report 2022** At this year’s Annual Parochial Church Meetings, all Deanery churches must elect Deanery Synod representatives for a new 3-year term (Triennium) The number of representatives to which a church is entitled is governed by the number on their electoral roll. The members elected in 2020 have done a great job linking up, to work together and support each other as much as was possible during the days of the Pandemic and its aftermath. 16 During the Deanery year three meetings were held:- In May at St Leonard’s Centre, Oakley we heard from Right Reverend Dr Ric Thorne, Bishop of Islington, who explained the workings of a Resource Church. Bishop David Williams then introduced and welcomed Rev’d John Hudson who, with a team, would found Resource Church at St Michael’s in Basingstoke to support the Basingstoke Team churches including St Peter’s (South Ham), Christ the King (Brighton Hill) and All Saints (Town Centre) Following the move of Richard Harlow (Area Dean for the Basingstoke Deanery) to Ely, to take on the role of Archdeacon of Huntingdon and Wisbech, the minister at Oakley, Rev’d Ben Kautzer, (previously Richard’s assistant) was appointed Area Dean, with Rev’d Nicola Such of St Mark’s, appointed Assistant Area Dean. October’s meeting was held at St Mark’s (previously Kempshott) now newlynamed as the parish of Basingstoke Down following parish boundary changes. After a time of reflection, centring on the autumn season of change, the meeting heard the progress in the appointment of a new Diocesan Bishop. St Mary’s Eastrop, with Rev’d Rob Phillips, were our hosts in February, for a time of sharing ideas on church growth presented by Kate Seagrave, Church Planting Missioner for the School of Mission. Martin Graham gave further encouragement as he enlarged on the “Fill your streets with friendliness” initiative in collaboration with OneChurch Basingstoke. Another chance to learn from, and encourage, the work across our local area, particularly for those churches in areas of Basingstoke experiencing rapid and extensive housing development. Our planned programme for 2023 reflects the fact that we are back to a regular pattern of 4 gatherings in the year, including a social event in July which, this year, takes place here at St Paul’s. On behalf of the whole Deanery we thank Richard, and now Ben, for their guidance and encouragement of clergy and parishioners across Basingstoke and the surrounding area. Your Deanery representatives during this year were Kayla Harlow and Christine Watson (Secretary). Christine Watson ## **Fabric Report** ## **St Peter’s** A previous Quinquennial Report identified problems with the brick work around the tower, loose rendering and extensive weathering to the tiles on the North elevation roof. The cost of remedial work was £43000, grant applications were unsuccessful and the expense was borne by the Ada Hicks legacy. Work commenced in August 2022 and was progressing well until serious rot and insect damage was discovered to the oak framework hidden under the loose rendering. The cost of these additional works was set at £30k with the work being put on hold until the spring. ## **St Paul’s Church** Minor repairs to the roof were successful in stopping the leaks in the south facing roof lead valleys. The porch has been re-carpeted, door and walls re- 17 painted and generally tidied up to make the entrance look much more inviting. All the materials used were kindly donated. The main double doors have been painted and the fit improved, also lower parts of the window frames and sills repainted. ## **St Luke’s** The Quinquennial Inspection was carried out without any major problems being reported. A five yearly electrical inspection was carried out resulting in some minor repairs. Ongoing problems with the heating will need to be resolved before Winter 2023. ## **St Paul’s Hall** A suspended ceiling and all new LED lighting were fitted in the hall with the aim of improving the insulation and reducing the heating costs. This would prove to be a good investment given the current price of energy. The cost of the ceiling was £10,000 and funded by a generous parishioner’s donation and a grant from the lottery. As well as the work detailed above all the church grounds have been kept in good condition and numerous other tasks carried out by a dedicated team of volunteers resulting in considerable cost savings. Bryan Watson ## **Gift Aid** ## **Electoral Roll** In December the number on the electoral roll was 107. At present (April 2023) there are 101 names on the Electoral Roll. There were 116, 7 people have died, 4 people have moved and a further 3 are moving in the near future and one is now a priest. Vicki Ellingse ## **STATISTICS** ## **Church Electoral Roll 2022** The total number of names on the Roll as at 31[st] December 2022 was 107 ## **Pastoral Services** The Parish is privileged to be involved at major moments in people’s lives and hidden within these figures are real people. Some of the events are joyful celebrations, others reflect deep sadness. We continue to ofer our prayers in all situations, rejoicing and weeping with those who are sad and hurting. ## **STATISTICS FOR MISSION 2022** These totals include all three churches: St Paul’s St Peter’s and St Luke’s. ## **FESTIVALS** ## **EASTER** ## **CHRISTMAS** 18 ## **YEAR COMMUNICANTS ATTENDING YEAR COMMUNICANTS ATTENDING** |2014|96|118|2015|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| |2022

Sadly, at present we only have 3 children who regularly attend – two 6 year olds and one 11 year old. This makes preparing material quite difficult due to the wide age range. However, our 11 year old has been ‘promoted’ to being a Junior helper and is excellent working with the younger children. We have a team of 6 dedicated adult helpers who put a great deal of time and efort into preparing an appropriate story together with craft activities and games. ## **Messy Church** Messy Church takes place on the 2[nd] Sunday of each month when the Church is really buzzing with activity and the atmosphere is amazing! We 20 regularly have 100 children and adults attending ranging from babes in arms to grandparents. Each month we provide 7 diferent craft activities and a toddler area, these all fit in with the theme for that morning and there is also a delicious on-going bufet breakfast. Half way through the morning we stop for our Celebration when we have a story and some action songs. It is good to see the parents jigging to the music and enjoying it as much as the children. Although we start at 10 o’clock it is often midday before the last of our congregation leaves. We have a brilliant team of about 18 helpers who are very imaginative and creative and extremely dedicated. Not only is Messy Church great fun and a learning experience for the children but it is also an opportunity to get to know their parents and carers. ## **School Assemblies** We now deliver assemblies in all our local primary schools. One member of our congregation leads an assembly in Tadley School once a month rotating with members from other Churches and fitting in with a theme that the School has chosen by telling an appropriate Bible story. In Burnham Copse, Bishopswood and Silchester a scheme called Open the Book is used where members of our Church together with other volunteers from CTAT act out a Bible story each week. Open the Book is a nationwide initiative which was started in Tadley thanks to the encouragement and help of members of Basingstoke Deanery Synod and Christ Church Chineham. The thinking was that perhaps only a few percent of children are present in Sunday Schools but well over 90% are present in school. Our presence in the Schools is very well received. Elizabeth Seymour ## **House Group led by Andrew Cobb** As is often the case, it is not until you look back over the year that you realise the full extent and significance of what you have achieved. Our Group members have been typically generous with their hospitality that in turn engenders a spirit of fellowship, this being the main purpose of our time together, sharing concerns and praying for each other, those known to us, the local community, the nation and God’s world. We have followed a number of courses to help us grow in understanding and faith. We have covered: - The Creeds - The Eucharist - Church and Kingdom - Grace 21 I will break the normal annual reporting rules and mention a course that we have followed since the beginning of this calendar year, that is the Bible Society course on The Bible. We have been so impressed and inspired that we are repeating it. My reason for mentioning this is to commend to others, particularly any members of our congregation who have recently followed the Alpha course. It seems like a natural sequel. We meet at 7.30pm on most Tuesdays at various addresses in Pamber Heath. New members are always welcome. ## **Music Group** Music plays an important role in our church services in that it helps us reflect further on our spiritual lives as Christians and it helps us to focus on the scripture and its themes during worship. The St. Paul’s worship group exists to play that role within our services. By covering a wide gamut of traditional and modern church music, our worship group wants everyone to experience the joy that exists in worshipping God together through music as well as supporting the weekly themes that are explored in the sermons and readings. The band has supported not only our weekly Sunday morning services at St Paul’s but also some special benefice services at St Mary’s Tadley North, including at Christmas. Further events in the past year that we have performed in include Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebrations where we raised money for the charity MIND, our summer fete and the Tadley Autumn Arts Festival. There is an appeal currently running for more musicians to join the band. We are always looking for more people to help us lead the worship and share their gifts with the congregation. Lisa Kember ## **Thank you to all volunteers** 2022 has seen a return to normality following Covid 19 and all the restrictions imposed upon us. Church services have now resumed and activities are taking place in the hall. We are grateful that many of our volunteers, and some new ones, continue to be willing to give of their time and energy in order to support all church members and the wider community. These volunteers include: - Our ministry team and home group leaders - Those who help lead services 22 - Those who read lessons - Those who prepare and lead intercessions - Our music group, organist and technicians - Our team of men and women who welcome people to our church services - Our Vergers for Weddings, Baptisms and Funerals - Those who help with the young people each Sunday - Those who help at Messy Church - Those who prepare the various rotas - Those who clean the churches and hall - Members of our Fabric team and others who assist in repair work - Claire Renfrew who keeps our records of Weddings, Baptisms and Funerals - Simon Day who maintains our website - Nicole Larkin, who with Simon and Steve maintains our social media presence - Gloria Sharman who sends out birthday cards - Our team of flower arrangers - Those who help at St Luke’s Toddler Group and St Luke’s cofee morning - Those who provide refreshments at various church events - Marion Goss who deals with all Hall bookings. Apologies to anyone who should have been include in this list. Our grateful thanks go to everyone who contribute to church life by ofering their time and talent. 23 INDEPENDEMf EXAMINERS REPORTTO THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF TADLEY wrrH PAMBER HEATH I report on the accounts of the thurch forthe yearended 31 December2022.
