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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Comm￿￿10n,
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

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.

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

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.

Sunday Ministry
Young Church continues to meet during morning worship in the Town Hall. We have a stable staff of
4 volunteers but would benefit from another couple of volunteers to reduce the frequencythat people
are 'on duty.. Our aim is still to foster the spiritual nurture of the children of our church families.
Numbers vary a lot. but it is encouraging to have welcomed on average 7 children per week drawn
from 12 familie5. We have followed programmes on our Church Values. the stories of the Patriarchs,
and exploring some Really Big Mistakes that various Bible charatters made.
Messy Church - met for 10 months of 12 in 2023. We have seen a steady growth in numbers to
reliably being around 60 across the year,. in December this rose to 74. By the end of 2023, it wa5
wonderful to begin to feel that this congregation is growing into a worshippin8 Community. We have
continued to meet in the Coneygear Centre throughout the year.
Intergeneratlonal Events - in March we gathered together after church to enjoy a picnic lunch and
some popcorn while watching the film 'Miracle Makerf together. In July we all took a picnic to the
park and enjoyed each other's company and some games.
Parentlng In Chureh - in September I launched an initiative to support parent5 as they bring their
children into church
initially with a meeting to discuss an information leaflet. l a150 successfully
applled for grant fundlng to support the development of some resources to support the participation
of children when they are in services- intended to be available in early 2024.
Under Ss Ministry
Footsteps - our toddler group. In January, we transitloned to holding just I sesslon per week
welcoming 20 families, usually with around 30 children. The group wntinues to be really popular with
places'selling out, in less than 15 minutes each week. We continue to use the I year rolling curriculum
wlth the addition of different sessions for key times of year, and some different craft ideas to keep it
fresh for families who have been coming for several years. Staffin8 has fluctuated across the year, but
we have usually had 34 people each week drawn from a volunteer pool of 6 people. Th5s 5tabllSsed
In the Autumn term when we weltomed 3 new volunteers to the team. Footsteps Oasls started twi
a term in January 2023. See Ingrid's Pioneer LLM report.
8aptlsms- during 2023 we welcomed and baptised 7 children. This year we have also sent out cards
to children on the anniversary of their baptism,. the plan Is to send these out for the flrst 4 year5 after
they are baptised. Two Baptism preparation evenings were held across the year.
Partnership working
Circle of Security Parenting groups - We held 2 groups in 2023 - one in the Summer term with 2
participants, and one in the Autumn temi with 10 participants. The Autumn term course had a creche
run by the Huntingdon Nursery enabling more people to attend. Again, we had referr215 from County
Council, and from Huntingdon Nursery, and agaln, feedback continues to be positive. One parent
recently shared with me that she now parents so differently, there is much le55 Stress in the family,
and she is 50 grateful.
Recharge and Recharge plu5 - a parent drop in at Thongsley Fields Primary School

the rest online. In September. 10 of our volunteer team attended the Children5 Workers Celebration
held in Ely Cathedral.

Licensed Lay Minister (Pioneer) Report- Ingrid Randall
2023 was a busy year with plenty of opportunities for reaching out. both to members of our wider
church community and to members of our local community here in Huntingdon.
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. One parent commented that Oasis ha5 encouraged her to think more deeply aboLrt life
and faith, making her think about the meanin8 of things and linking religion to the everyday. We have
been able to invite some of the Oasis mums to a new daytime group. I'm very excited that they are
now doing the Alpha Course and that oasis is proving to be a stepping stone to a deeper exploration
of the Christian faith, as originally envisaged.
