## **RHONDDA MINISTRY AREA – 2023 REPORT** ## **Clergy Team developments** 2023 began with our Rhondda MA family of faith saying a fond and prayerful farewell to the Reverend Jeffrey Thomas, after serving the churches of St. John the Evangelist, Cymmer and St. Barnabas, Penygraig. After a beautiful leaving service at St. John's, Cymmer, on January 29[th] , we prayed for Jeff's future ministry as a vicar in the Bro Noddfa Newydd Ministry Area and thanked him for all of his ministry in the Rhondda. Priestly care of St. John's, Cymmer then passed into hands of Fr. David Jones and that of St. Barnabas, Penygraig, into those of Fr. Haydn (until September 2023). Both priests were warmly received by the churches and all of their hard work greatly appreciated. In February the clergy ministry team grew again with the appointment of the Reverend Dr. Sarah Rogers (later made a canon of Llandaff) as vicar with care of the churches of St. Andrew's, St. Thomas and St. Illtyd's (the communities of Tonypandy, Clydach Vale, Penrhiwfer and Williamstown). It has been a blessing to have Sarah with us and her ministry across the churches, and we are grateful for all of the input she has brought into our life of mission here in the Rhondda. In the autumn of 2023 Sarah, alongside Fr. Philip, took on responsibility for the priestly care of St. Barnabas after Fr. Haydn's time of service at that church. October saw Canon Sarah licensed as our new Area Dean of our deanery of Ystradyfodwg, succeeding Fr. Philip, and we prayed for her and gave thanks for this new undertaking within her ordained ministry. At the end of June bishop Mary ordained Dr. James Lawson to the diaconate and licensed him as an assistant-curate to the Rhondda Ministry Area. It was a pleasure for us to welcome Fr. James and his wife Jyo to the ministry area and to make them feel home here in Wales after moving to us from Oxford. Fr. James has led an active ministry as a deacon and engaged with our communities and congregations across the Rhondda. As part of that ministry he has taken on our Bible Study sessions on Zoom from Fr. Philip, led and assisted at various services, interacted with our schools and youth clubs and our wider church initiatives. As with Canon Sarah it has been a real blessing to experience his ministry in the Rhondda and to see our clergy team grow. We look forward to Fr. James' ordination to the priesthood in June 2024. Alongside Fr. Philip's support of officiating at weekday and Sunday services for colleagues (as well as the care of his own congregations) we are most grateful for the support we have received from Canon Ruth Moverley and Fr. Terry Cox throughout the year. It is greatly appreciated. Towards the end of the year the clergy decided to expand the time they spend in prayer and meeting with each other, outside of the monthly clergy team meeting. On Wednesday afternoon at 5.15pm the clergy meet online for Zoom and on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday at 8.45am for morning prayer. This has allowed our clergy team to grow closer together in prayer and in fellowship. It would be amiss of us if we didn't also recall that 2023 has seen us blest with the ministry of a new diocesan bishop. Alongside our fellow ministry areas across the diocese we welcomed the Right Reverend Mary Stallard as our new bishop of Llandaff. We look forward to all of her leadership in our across our diocesan family. ## **Mission:** Our life of mission in Christ is at the centre of all we are as part of the Body of Christ, the Church. Mission can take many forms. One such is in being present to people in their needs and thereby allowing Christ's love for them to be made present in action. The ongoing 'warm spaces' initiatives across our churches continue to reach out to those in our communities who seek a time of fellowship and a place where they feel welcomed. These meeting times allow us as Christians to encapsulate what it means to be held in God's love. Alongside these warm spaces are those groups that have run for many years in our churches, such as the Pen Rhondda Support Group (with volunteers from St. George's & St. Matthew's, meeting in St. Matthew Community Hall), which have made real differences to peoples lives within our communities. All these groups operate because of the commitments so many people in our churches undertake to make them work. We are most thankful for all who give of their precious time to support these initiatives. An important part of our life of mission is that to our young people. The Messy Church at St. John's the Evangelist, the Monday Youth Club at St. Barnabas and the Sunday School at St. Illtyd's have seen our young people experience what it means to be people of faith, and to help them understand God's love for them and all people. Sessions in our churches, such as the Christmas and Easter Experiences have also seen our young given the opportunity to come to understand the importance of these very important Christian celebrations. We are most thankful again for all who give of their time our young people through these mission opportunities. Many of our clergy and lay people also go into our schools (some serving as School Governors) and our links to those places of learning grow stronger by the year. In 2024 we look forward to developing our ministry with young people inside and outside of church life. Thanks to a grant from the diocese to help us with our ministry to young people and families Fr. James, Canon Sarah and Fr. David moved forward with the Bubble church experience at St. John's (Cymmer) for January 2024 and a group of our young people and leaders from St. Barnabas Monday Club attended the Festival of Light at St. David's, Tonyrefail. For a second year we had a great Christian Aid MA quiz at the Lakeside Cafe in Clydach Vale. We had excellent numbers attend and enjoyed a beautiful time of fun and fellowship together. Again, thanks to all who prepared this special evening. In our calling to make the faith know and better understood for adults we ran two Alpha Courses (at Holy Trinity and St. Cynon's) in the autumn. A great deal of preparatory work was undertaken by Rowena Harding to assist both lay and ordained participants in the running of Alpha. We are very grateful to her the time she gave, and for those who prepared the meals and welcome in the respective churches. Attendance was small and mostly those who came were those who worship within our congregations already. However, the sessions proved valuable in helping us to consider our faith and to go a little deeper into what it means to believe and be a follower of Jesus. In 2024 Canon Sarah and Fr. James will be looking further into how we learn from the Alpha experience and develop ways in which we can move forward in our life of mission together. Mothers' Union continues to be a missional blessing within our ministry area and it has been wonderful to see new members join this important part of the Church family. Mothers' Union members undertake active roles within the life of our churches in so many ways, but most importantly in its members being a serving and prayerful presence. Thank you to all members of Mothers' Union in Rhondda, and beyond! Our website was restructured by Fr. James' in 2023 and he has reached out to our churches asking them for updates on their activities that can be made available. Likewise the MA continued in 2023 to run its Facebook Page where Fr. Philip updated it when information was sent to him. It is hoped that during the course of 2024 communicating the Good News of Jesus Christ can be built upon as we continue to develop and improve the way we communicate. ## **Worship:** Throughout the year our worshipping life has been blest with the opportunity of coming together for Easter Vigil. We had a beautiful service at St. Peter's, with all of the churches of the Rhondda represented. As well as being means of outreach in mission we are well aware that Messy Church, Sunday School and Monday Club all have central to them worship. A big thanks to all who have led worship with our young people. The Eucharist is at the heart of our worshipping life. We have continued to have weekday celebrations across the ministry area, on Sundays and in most churches during weekdays. There are also services of the Word, such as Evening Prayer at St. Matthew's on Tuesday's, and special services where we welcome schools into our churches for celebrations of Harvest, at Christmastide and of course during the important time around Remembrance Sunday. An important part of our services is that of music within worship. Our organists and music overseers have play and important part in how we come together to worship. Thank you so much to you all. Also to all who serve as sacristans, Eucharistic assistants and our servers. ## **Buildings:** Our churches over 2023 continued to take up a great deal of our MA wardens and sub-wardens time. We must also express our thanks to the countless members in our congregations who clean and make our churches such beautiful places of Holy encounter. Most of our buildings are late Victorian or early Edwardian buildings and as such, due to their age, maintaining them is a difficult undertaking. Throughout the year ongoing issues of maintenance were dealt with, as well as improvements to accessing our church buildings. As part of our care for God's creation, reflected in our churches and in their grounds. Fir 'Christmas trees' (with lights) which could be placed in our church grounds after Christmas were delivered to each of our churches and we are grateful for all of the work that Kathryn Phelps Goodman undertook to make this possible. A great deal of work was undertaken in the finding of grants and processing of faculties necessary for the work, and we are thankful to Kevin Staveley for his work in this regard. Sadly, due to a serious problem with the heating system in St. Andrew's, Tonypandy, the difficult decision was taken to close the church for the winter and to reassess the situation in the new year. The members of the congregation were made very welcome by the people of St. Barnabas and St. Thomas' and we all kept them in prayer during that difficult time. In 2024 the future of St. Andrew's would be discussed and the way forward agreed upon. ## **Finance:** As has been stated the ministry area benefited from a good grant finding process but this year has proved difficult in meeting our obligations to the diocese, in regards to the Fairer Share commitment, and to the running expenses of our churches (especially the rise in utility bills). In 2024 the diocese will be undertaking a new process in regards to Fairer Share commitments which seeks to see a 'pledge' system created. These challenges have been recognised by our Treasury Leads throughout 2023 and Charles Coombes, Michael Andrew and Kevin Staveley have worked hard to support all of our church treasurers. We are tremendously grateful to all of our church treasurers, across the individual churches. They have a difficult task and their work (and the Gift Aid Secretaries) are deeply appreciated by the congregations they serve. Thank you! The MAC is thankful for all of the giving in our congregations and for those involved with fund raising activities within our churches. During these difficult financial times we appreciate all that is given in both time and resource in support of our churches. Again, thank you! Diolch!
