The Eccleslastical Parish of Huntingdon CHAIR'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 As in previous years, there were an enormous number of encouragements during the course of the year and we give thanks to God for his many blessings. It ha5 been encouraging to see the numerical gro)Nth in our ethnically diverse worshipping community. Our congregations reflect the ethnic diversity of our local community. Growth in engagement with our events and artivities has also been evident as we continue to emerge from the constraints of Covid. The Parish of Huntingdon remains a key part of Ely Diocese's Changlng Market Town5 ICMTI Initiative. This project continues to fund our operational management and administrative support and both a full time Children's and Families Missioner and Youth Missioner. The ministry that they lead and the PQSltive impact this is having on people in our community of all ages is described elsewhere iri thls report. As with all churches, we would be unable to funttion and serve our local communlty without slgnificant volunteer support. In 2023 the number of people volunteering Increased significantly. We estimate that in excess of 2CMJ hours per week are given to Support our work. The value of Services provided by volunteers is not incorporated in the financial statements. but my grateful thanks to all those who volunteer. We have been delighted to continue to build links with Deaf Church who have a monthly afternoon service in All Saints and join our Sunday morning service which is signed on 4, Sundays. Our link with Deaf Church has been strengthened by the Reverend Jan Smith, Chaplain to Deaf Church, becoming an Associate Vicar in the parish having completed her curacy with us. Finance remalns a signlficant challenge for us. especially with the fuel crlsi5 and other inflationary pressures. I remain excited by the prospects for continuing growth of our church and its outreach and 5UPPOrt for our local community during 2024 and beyond. Revd Jon Randall Rector & Chair

The Parish of Huntin8don PCC was fomed on the l May 2019 through the merger of St Barnabas, St Mary's and All Saint5 PCCS. All Saints and St Marys church buildings retain their status as parish churches and St Barnabas is now a parish centre of worship. The PCC has the responsibility for co- operating with the Rettor of Huntingdon (The Revd. Jon Randall) in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church. pastoral, evangelistic. social and ecumenical. It ha5 maintenance responsibilities for the anclent Parish Churches of All Saints and St Mary's and the modern church of St Barnabas. St Mary's church remains on the Historic England 'at-risk' register. The PCC meets every other month with the Standing Committee of the PCC meeting in the alternate morbths. As well as the usual business involved in running the 3 buildings and overseeing the completlon of a major repair project on the tower of All Saints, the PCC Is aware of its role in maintalning the spiritual well-being of the congregation and ministers of the churches in it5 care, The PCC have decided to use All Saints as the princlpal place of worship and outreach to the community with only larger festlval services, funerals, weddings and an occasSonal baptism being held in St Mary's. The modern church of St Barnabas is used for worship-based activities open to all but particularly for the local area of the Oxmoor Estate. The Oxmoor Estate is a housing estate bullt in the 19605 to accommodate the housing overspill from London. Regular Sunday worship has continued throughout the year at All Saints church with regular Holy Communion services on Wednesdays. All services are livestreamed on Zoom andlor YouTube to allow those who cannot attend in person to share in our worship. All Saints and St Barnaba5 churches are also used for numerous outreach attivities as detailed below. OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Our plans for the year included: Building on our existing support base and continuing to emphasise our mission to the town as the Anglican churches situated at its centre and on the Oxmoor estate. For mernbers of our churches to work in conjunction in all our planning for worship and our ongoing outreach and mission. To proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ afresh to all generations. To continue to develop our online and local radio presence to reach a wider demographic. Developing our rnini5try to all generatTrons and demographics. including: Growing our ministry and pastoral support to children and families- GrowTrng our ministry and pastoral support to young people:
The Eccleslasti¢al Parish of Huntingdon Providing a range of different services of worship to engage all age5 In setting their plans for the year the PCC has had due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission and, in particular, the guidance for charities for the advancement of religion; enabling ordinary people to live out their faith through the Church's activities. Our achievements and performance are detailed below through our various charitable attivities. SAFEGUARDING The trustees take safeguarding responsibilities extremely seriously. The PCC has complied with the duty to have due regard to the House of Bishops, Safeguarding Policy and Practice Guidance. Safeguarding remains a standing agenda item at each PCC meeting. The parish has been working on the use of the Church of England's online Safeguarding Dashboard and Hub throughout the year and ha5 achieved Level 3 (the highest level) on the Dashboard.
The Ecclesiastical Parlsh of Huntingdon Charitable Activities Sunday Worship & Online Worship Attendance at our main Sunday seryice in Saints is steadily growing and the congregation Is ethnically diverse. In order to SUPPOrt those who are unable to attend in person our services are Streamed live online each Sunday. We also service the local area with a weekly service for local radlo which has an audience of several hundred. The trustees are grateful for the 5UPPOrt of Huntingdon Community Radio in broadcasting this service. Morning Prayer Morning Prayer has continued on Zoom on a daily weekday basis throughout the year. The attendance is generally about ten people, with a pool of approximately fifteen involved. Morning Prayer is led by a team. including lay and ordained leaders. On Wednesdays a mid-week service of Holy Comm10n, led from All Saints Church at the same time in the morning as Morning Prayer, is streamed on Zoom and allows a link between the same group of people and in-church worship. The online nature of Morning Prayer Ollows for regular contart. participation in worship and important pastoral support between a sigrbificant proportion of the congregation, many of whom would not find it FK1$5ible regularly to attend in-person worship in one of the church bulldings. Life Events and Civic Services We continue to offer the use of all three of our churches for life events. In 2022 we condurted 4 weddings, 10 funerals and 8 baptisms. Various Civic Services were held both in our churches and at other locations in Huntingdon. These included a Holocaust Memorial Service. the annual Civic Service for the Town Mayor Ithe Rector is the Town Mayorfs Chaplainl, a Police Memorial Service, Remembrance Services and Carol Services for both the Town Council and Huntingdonshire District Council. All Age Engagement As described elsewhere Sn this report, we offer artivitles and servlces for all ages- from Footsteps for pre-school children and their parents / carers, engagement with local schools, through to seNices for residents In care homes. Wherever possible, we seek to ensure that the different generation5 are able to come together both in worship and in social settings. Journeys of Faith As well as offerlng the worship opportunities described above, we also offer a wide range of opportunities for people to explore the Christian faith and to move along their own faith journeys. For adults the places to explore faith include Recharge and Oasis (described e15ewherel. Faith journeys are encouraged through connert groups. Meet and Eat, The LNing Room and other events. Chatty Cafe We have tontinued to operate Chatty Cale as a warm space and place of hospitality. This 15 open to everyone of any faith or none.

The Ecdesiastical Parish of Huntingdon Team Reports Rectorfs Report-jon Randall Introduction As I look back on 2023, 1 am encouraged by the significant progres5 that we have made and the numerous lives touched by our ministry and with the Gospel- both within and beyond the boLtndaries of our church buildings. The great composer. JS Bach. wrote at the beginning and end of each of his manuscripts, "to God be the glorf. So. as we reflect on the year. we glve God the glory for what has been achieved. Encouragement As I wrote last year. any report of this nature wlll inevitably omlt something. Having said that, there is much to celebrate including.. We continue to grow numerically at our 10.30am Sunday service and ivs been very encouraging to hear the sense of welcome which newcomers land othersll tell us that they experience. As detailed in Jane's report, Messy Church has also continued to grow and we are often at, or very close to, capacity at the Coneygear. As Ruth describes In her report, we launched a new group for young people towards the end of the year. It's been great to see the collaboration with our neighbouring parish and I'm very grateful to Ruth for her perseverance with the launchin8 of this group and for Rev Duncan Goldthorpe for his support too. We have continued to work hard to think "what nexf In terms ol opportunities to explore faith we offer to people in our community who join us, either in church outside of Sundav services, or elsewhere. I'm delighted that we have been able to launch Oasis (see Ingrid's reportl and groups such as Chatty Gospel and Recharge / Recharge Plus remain crucial to our mission and ministry. Overall, our worshipping communlty has expanded s18nificantly. We contlnue to livestream services on Zoom and YouTube so that those unable to attend in person can join us for worship. In October, I was delighted that we were able to licence Rev Jan Smith as an Associate Minister In the parish following the completion of her curacy. lan is "self-supporting" li.e. unpaid) and her prime focus is her wonderful and inspiring ministry to the Deaf Community, but it's 8reat that She is also able to offer some ministry in the parish, including leading and preachlng at some servlces. Deaf Church led an excellent service for us in January and it's been a privilege to continue to welcome Deaf Church to join us on a Sunday morning once a month las well as for their own nd monthly service in All Saints on a 2 Sunday afternoon). Thanks to Jan and her colleagues for signing the morning services. After a period of having no churchwarden, I was delighted that Colin Hardy Stepped forward and was appointed to thot role in April. I'm personally very grateful to Colin for the 5UPPOrt, prayer and wisdom which he offers me. Please read Colin's report for an idea of everything else which he contributes to the parish. As Mike descrlbes in his report. Chatty Café, Meet & Eat, online Morning Prayer and other groups continue to flourish. Mike and others take monthly services in four local care homes as we support those members of our community who. mostly, are unable to come to other services. These services are attended by between 30 and 40 people every month and are very much appreciated by residents and staff alike. One of the year's highlights for me was the opportunity we had to hold our Sunday service at the end of November in the Town Square as part of the town'5 Christmas Market. This gave US the opportunity to bring the Christmas message to those in our community attending the market. The service was well received and we have been invited to hold a similar service again
The Ecclesiastical Parish of Huntingdon in 2024. Our Sunday morning sermons covered a range of topics, including- A reminder, following the series in late 2022. of the importance of prayer; o Our All Age services early in the year looked at the "three principles" underpinning our Vision and Values. i.e. Relationship. Decision and Discipleship; o We also explored the biblital basis for our Vision and Values,. o A series on the book of Philippians; o A series exploring the beatitudes and how they might teach us to live our lives following these "be attitudes. or beautiful attitudes". An ongoing opportunity to reach beyond the walls of our buildings has been provided by the weekly service on HCR which I lead with support from Ingrid. We are told that several hundred people listen each week - mostly local, but some from elsewhere in the country and Indeed beyond. Mike and l are also part of an ecumenical team which offers a daily Thoughtfor the Doy on HCR. We understand that well over a thousand people listen to the Show during which these thoughts are broadcast. These recorded broadcast5 are often intluded in our weekly newsletter email 50 that those who cannot listen to HCR during the day can catch up with them. It's always a highlight of church life to be able to baptise adults and children alike. The testimonies which precede the ladultll baptisms are so inspiring and faSth building. During the year we baptised l adult and 7 children. We are privileged to be able to support our church famlly and the local community wlth weddings and funerals. In the year, we conducted 4 weddings and 10 funerals. A5 well as the assemblies and other schools work Jane refers to in her report, I've been able to vlslt several local schools for assemblles ond to help them celebrate varlous festivals. Lastly, I wanted to describe some of the contributions to the community and opportunities which I have beerb able to make in a "civic capacitV'. I continue to be the Mayor's Chaplaln. At almost all of the followinB there was an opportunity for me to preach and proclaim the Gospel to members of our local community and civic dignitaries from further afield. Civic services and events l officiated at during the year include.. A Holocaust Memorial Day servlce organised by Huntlngdonshlre District Council I'HDC'I,. A Civic Service for the Town Mayor; St George's Society Service,. o A short service to unveil the Norfolk Road Memorial Ito remember those killed- both aircrew and on the ground when a plane crashed); A Police Memorial Service: o A Battle of Britain Service; Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day events and celebrations- Carol services for both HDC and the Town Council,. Town Council meetings where l am invited to open each meeting in prayer. Challenges We have much to celebrate and to thank God for. However. we continue to face significant challenges and many of these are the same ones I described in my report last year. The challenges we continue to face include.. We have more people volunteering which is wonderful and I thank God for all our volunteers and the time. energyi gifts and commitment which they bring to so many roles. Nonetheless, io
The Ecclesiastical Parish of Huntingdon many of our ministries are short of volunteers. As described in the Churchwarden's report our buildings all need significant care and attention and we don't have the volunteer5 to do what is required. There will be no progress with the heating 5yStem in St Barnabas unless people come forward. St Mary's remains in a critical state and All Saints is not without its issues either. As I wrote last year, we are aware that we need to Increase the levels of giving if we are to be sustainable as a parish and move away from our reliance on an historic legacy. l am pleased to report that the number of regular givers has increased over the past 2 years, but we recognise that we have a way to go. Of course, the significant increases in the c05t of living make a considerable impact on the capacityforgiving. We will continue to discu55 Stewardship and encourage giving in our desire to address this situation. Assoclate Ministerfs Report- Mike Booker Chatty Cafe Chatty café has run on Wednesdays and Saturday5 throu8h the whole of last year, with a brief Christma5 break. A team of about 15 volunteers ensure that there are enough present each time to run the kitchen, serve customers and also to chat and welcome all those who come. The café is an important place of care and support, with regular opportunities for team members to offer pastoral support and to pray with those who ask. It has been encouraging to see both café customers and volunteers joining Sunday services. Meet and Eat Meet and Eat is a group that meets in St Barnabas Church on Tuesday lunch times to chat, develop friendship and grow in faith. It is mainlv Ithough not entirelvl composed of retired women. Margaret Stevens has Steered the group through 2023, providing some creative and imaginative input. Tony 14umes is regularly there to play the organ and lead in singing older hymns and newer songs. Those attending are mainly from the area around St Barnabas, but a number of others have started coming from further afield. Easy parking next to the church door makes thls group acce$5ible for people comlng by car. Morning Prayer onllne Mornlng Prayer online is a slgnificant way for older church members to stay In touch with one another and with God. About elght people meet each week day. The group follow5 a simple order of Mornlng Prayer, with tlme to share needs and to pray for individuals and for the world. Leadership is shared between group members, with Mike supporting. The Living Room This is a simple service and fellowship group that meets monthly on Sunday afternoons in St Barnabas Church. Through the year The Living Room has been following St Luke's Gospel on DVD, with some lively and very thoughtful discussion that gets deep into the meaning of the Gospel. Several group members have thelr root5 in the St Barnabas congregation, and the group is greatly appreciated by those who join. Zoom connect group Meeting every Wednesday evenin& thi5 connect group makes it Possible for people to join together without the need for tran5POrt to get to a meeting place. Several new members have joined during the year. We have been growing closer to one another. with social gatherings in homes every few months to allow some face to face contact. It has been exciting to be able to study parts of the Bible In depth. and to pray for each other and our families. li

Chatty Café and Chatty Gospel I was part of the Chatty Café team on many Saturdays in 2023, acting as team supervisor about twice a month. I have enloyed 8ettln8 to know our team and regular attenders much better. We have had some wonderful conversations about life and faith. The 'Chatty Gospel, group ran after Chatty Café from autumn 2022 to September 2023. We watched a passage from Mark's Gospel on DVD and this was followed by informal discussion of the passage and an opportunity for prayer. Typically* Chatty Gospel was attended by 3 to 5 people from the local community, some of whom do not come to our Sunday services. Everyone was welcome and this was an opportunity to meet Jesu5 through the Gospel, to grow in in faith and confidence and to build relationships. The timlng was Inconvenient for some people and we are explorlng replacing Chatty Gospel with a discussion table durlng Chatty Café openlng times. Footstep8 Oasis l am part of the regular Footsteps team. In January we launched Oasis. a discussion group for parents which I prepare and lead. We ran 12 sessions of Oasis in 2023. While their children play, the adults watch film clip5 on the big screen. The clips lead into particular topics relating to life, falth and Spirituality, which are important to us. We then LJ5e 'chat questions. to facilitate our dlscussion. We have been told that parents value the opportunity to open up and hear each other's views and opinions. Typically, Oasis has been attended by around 5-6 adults plus their children. Adults recelve a take-home pack including a tea ba& edible treat and several printed quotes, Bible verses and other resources to encourage them to engage further with the theme and with God. We recelved very encouraging feedback in our summer questionnaire from those who have been attending Oasis, All respondents said they found Oasis 'very helpful. and everyone said they enjoyed the take-home material. Two of our attenders have said that Oasis is playing a significant part in their faith development.

We have been able to invite some of the Oasis mums to a new daytime group.
