Vicar's Report 02 Vicar's Report What a joy and privilege it is to be port of this wonderful, generous, kind-hearted, worship-filled church family. l am filled with thanks as I think of all that people have given of themselves, their time and money in such a generous way. Thank you. We have received so much blessing from God and have seen this blessing spreading out into people's lives and into our community. I hope that reading the various reports here will remind you of what has been taking place this last year and bring you the joy it has me,. our first church weekend away, young ond old coming to faith in Jesus, growing numbers of people growing in faith and discipleship in small groups. Looking back over the church year and especially our various sermon series, I realise how much we have been nourished and been blessed by a variety of preaching voices. Last summer we made the Lord's Prayer our prayer, in the autumn we 'chewed' on the book of James and this spring we dwelt in the Psalms. We want to be a church that gives itself away. One of the ways we see this is in our support for our four mission partners. We give away 51. of all our income from church and halls to 'invest' in the work of two local mission organisations I'christians Against Poverty, and 'Safe Families'l and two worldwide mission organisations {'Open Doors,, who work with the persecuted church, and 'Tearfund', who respond to emergencies and ongoing sustainable projects).

Vicar's Report 03 We want to be a blessing in the community, but also to enable everyone to be a blessing in the settings that God has placed them: in our families, workplaces and circles of friends. We also want to give ourselves away through training young leaders and through partnership with other local churches. We have loved being part of the 'Table' group of churches, and a number of us were able to experience this blessing at the first 'Table weekend at home, recently. We also meet with and work with local churches in our Deanery, and in Diocesan initiatives, and we are increasingly playing a role supporting the wider church: Ramsey Piggott on Diocesan synod and Will Woolley on General Synod. Jonathan Mole- Vicar Churchwarden's Report Another year has gone by, and the church gets busier and busier. The church and church halls are seeing an increase in bookings throughout the week, which is how we wont to see it - 'a generous presence in the heart of the community,. Numbers are growing on Sundays too, at both services, and with our new youth worker, we are excited to see the numbers in Youth Space and Youth Space Sundays increasel There is always a lot going on behind the scenes as we try to maintain a high level of health and safety. We continue to work with Radiant cleaners to ensure the church premises remain clean for all church and church holl users. We are supported by many others in the congregation and are very grateful to those who contribute their wisdom, knowledge, experience, and time. We continue to be encouraged and supported by Christy, who carries so much weight of the day-to-day admin. Thank you to everyonel Liz Gregson - Churchwarden

Churchaway Weekend 04 Church Weekend

Churchaway Weekend 05 In June 2024 we had our first ever Church Away Weekendl It was a great time of community, fun, worship and prayer. There were 79 people, adults and children, who came along. As we spent time along the River Trent in Wilford, we made space for God to speak to us in worship and new friendships. The weekend was filled with delicious meals, great teaching, and opportunities to get to know each other better. Also God blessed us with sunshine when we needed it, and rain when we were insidel The Church Away Weekend was a highlight of our year together. We are so grateful for you, our church community, for how kind and generous and courageous you are. We'd like to say thank you to George, the vicar at st Wilfrid's, for coming to speak to us; to Jo and John Less-Robinson, the leod pastors at st Saviour's Nottingham, for leading a seminar session; to the Kids and Families Workers from 3 other churches who led sessions for our children; and to St Wilfrid's for generously hosting us on their church campus and enabling us to keep the ticket prices as low as possible. Our next one will be from Friday 13th Saturdoy 14th June 2025 at st Wilfrid's. We're already looking forward to it! Lauren Simpson- Curate

Worship This year, the Music Worship Ministry has continued to play a vital role in the spiritual life of our church, fostering a sense of unity ond uplifting our congregation through meaningful and inspiring worship. Music worship remained a central part of our weekly services, both at the 9:00AM and 10:30AM service. The team have faithfully led the congregation as we push further into Gods presents with us. We are blessed to have a wonderfully gifted and committed team. 06 We have also continued to meet monthly, now on a second Wednesday, for Encounter, on extended time for prayer and worship. A highlight from this was joining our friends from St Wilfrid's and St Savour's for Encounter on Tour as well as meeting and worshiping with them at st Edmund's. Our children and young people have remained in church for the opening time of worship, enabling us to worship in unity as an entire body of all ages. We believe God wants to meet with and bless people, no matter what their ages are. We have also grown the team younger and encouraged some of our school-age church members to become part of the teom for the "All In services, not only encouraging the individuals in their giftings, but also blessing the whole congregation. The Tech Team at church are often unseen and unsung but have remained a vital port of our Sunday services. We would love to train and see more people serve in this way. Will Woolley- Worship Teom

Worship 07 111

Children's and Fomilies Work 08 Children's and Families Work Kids Church: We have had a great year in Kids Church this year. We have continued to split into different age groups: three in the main Kids Church Session (preschoolers, 5-75 and 8-9sl and the newly-introduced Youth Space for our older children and young people (school years 5- 9}. Splitting into the different age groups has meant that children have been able to learn about and connect with God at the right level. We now 35 children on the register. Refresh: Refresh still meets every Ist and 3rd Wednesday of the month. We regularly have 5 mums with their little ones in attendance. This group has become a real source of support and friendship for these mums. Over the past year we have been able to help and support each of these mums through pregnancy and have welcomed 4 new babies into the group with another due very soon. Family Hub: Family Hub is place for families to encounter God together. We come together as a whole family to eat a meal, worship, read the Bible and pray. It is a place for growth and discipleship. We meet Mice a month and have had 5 families attending, one of which is a non-church family. For a variety of reasons, including 2 newborns, numbers have dipped slightly over the past couple of months, so we are taking a short break to work out what the future of the group looks like.

Children's and Families Work 09 Family Christmas Services: This year we held a Christingle service at the beginning of December and nativity services on Christmas Eve. Through these three services over 400 people were welcomed into the church to hear the good news of Jesus. We also held Bedtime Stories around the Christmas Tree, a new event for toddlers, preschoolers and their families. At this event 19 children (plus their grownupsl experienced the Christmas story through play, crafts and stories. School: The link between the church and Lady Bay Primary School has continued to grow. We have been welcomed into the school to lead a number of lessons and assemblies on a number of themes including Easter, harvest and Christmas. We have also had the privilege of welcoming a number of year groups into the church for lessons and performances. Toddlers: As part of my role I have continued to support Lady Bay Parent and Toddler Group on both a Monday and Friday morning. This has given me the opportunity to build relationships and connections with a large number of families in the local area. Most weeks we are offering a warm welcome to over 30 families.

Children'5 and Familie5 Work 10 other Connections: Over this year we've also held a number of one-off events where we've had the opportunity to connect with the community including a family quiz night, an Easter activity morning, an Easter egg hunt, Open Gardens, family events over the summer holidays and the Light Night. Nikki Woolley- Children's and Families Worker

Youth Work Youth Work Youth Space Tuesdays: In September we started a brand new youth drop in. This a safe place for young people where they can come and play games, take part in crafts, eat snacks and have fun. Fifteen different young people have attended, and we regularly have nine young people coming along. Sunday Youth Space: We have been watching the Alpha Youth videos in the Youth Space on Sundays. Videos hove been a great way to connect and enable interesting conversations between them. The faith discussions are balanced with games and debates about how the cookies should be portioned between them. They are a wonderful group of young people, with most displaying a hunger to grow their connection with Jesus. This space for young people has enabled them to grow in friendship and feel safe to share their thoughts. Youth Worker: Ronaldo Rodriguez joined our team as the new full-time Youth Worker on 16th March. His passion, energy, and love for Jesus are a great addition to the church. We look forward with great anticipation to what God will do through him to connect with the young people of Lady Bay. Nikki Woolley and Lianna Basdeo

12 Small Groups What's the point of small groups? Small groups are wonderful and are where people most grow in their faith, however long they have been a follower of Christ. Lady Bay Church has a variety of thriving small groups that are amazing places for community, for growing together in faith and for supporting one another. These groups become a bit like mini 'families' in the church, providing space for friendship and belonging ond learning from one another. If you are not in a small group, let Kristine know, and she will help you link with one as soon as is possible. What do small groups study. Our small groups sometimes cover themed material or study different books of the Bible together. They might choose their own moterial or might complement the series we cover in church. Some of the studies covered this lost year include reading the Letter of James, a video series called 'Being Human, and the Book of Psalms. I'm new to faith, will I fit in? Small groups are the best place to explore and grow in faith and are the best place to go after the Alpha course. Our groups are very varied, and we will try to match you with the right one. Is there space for me? We are always looking to set up new groups as the church keeps growing and as groups fill up. We have small groups who meet at different times and days of the week. There are a couple of daytime small groups os well as evening small groups. If you want to be in a group, or are feeling called to lead a new group, do get in touch with me- we always need new leadersl Kristine Mole - Curate

Midweek Doytime Groups 13 Midweek Daytime Groups Places of Welcome: In the last year we have registered with the 'Places of Welcome, network, a branch of "Transforming Notts Together {TNT). We identified the Coffee Shop and Thursday afternoon activities as places and times that suited the welcoming criteria, and Kristine initially agreed to be the contact person. Inevitably this stretched to other people as we took up the opportunities on offer. Yvonne and Ruth have attended a networking event and a training session on using the resources available. We now have 3 packs of cards that will serve as ice-breaker or conversation starter games and receive a monthly newsletter/puzzles aimed at all adult ages, which are available if your group would like to use them. We are looking forward to developing our welcome here. Places of Welcome: In the last year we have registered with the 'Places of Welcome, network, a branch of "Transforming Notts Together {TNTI.

Seb and Mary visit at least once a month, Seb offering his skills as a technical expert for our mobile and computer problems. This has been very successful.

Thursday l OAM Servlce: This is a prayerful, friendly, quiet service in touch with the community around us and praying for its hopes and needs.

Welcome + Connect 15 Welcome + Connect Firstly, thank you to our amazing Welcome Teaml Thank you for showing up, putting on a blue lanyard and offering such a generous welcome each ond every Sundoy. One of the things we are known for here at Lady Bay Church is our warm welcome. Time and time again people comment on how when they walk into church on a Sunday or for a community event, they feel at home. Someone who was visiting for the first time this year said, "The welcome at Lady Bay Church is so warm it makes me want to cry." The role includes greeting people at the door, welcoming into the church, connecting new people to people in the church, inviting & signposting to other church events and giving information about what goes on in the week. In the last year we've had 3 people join the team, and there is definitely space for more! One of our values is family, and that means that everyone get5 to play their part. The Welcome Team is a great way to join in and even to leorn people's namesl If you'd like to join the Welcome Team, head to www.ladybaychurch.org.uk/teams or speak to Lauren. Lauren Simpson

Welcome + Connect 16 Refreshment Team Firstly, a massive thank you to everyone who has served on the Refreshment team this past year. Without the team we would not be able to offer such a warm welcome to our congregation and visitors, and I know everyone appreciates all that the team does. Things have been running smoothly over the past year with few changes. We had a coffee tasting session in February which confirmed that the majority of those who participated preferred the coffee we were already serving. There is a lot to look fOard to in the coming year with the development of the new refreshment area which is now under construction thanks to Matt's tireless work on this project. The new area will allow us to continue to serve the congregation ond our visitors with lovely coffee and snacks but in an area that is much more user-friendly ond safer for all. Miriam Townshend

Communicotions Communications The vision of our Communications as a church is to invite people into the story and action of what God is doing in Lady Bay. So thot means anything from putting flyers through letterboxes to posting on Lady Bay Local to sending out the Weekly update email. All of it is in order for people to come and see what God is doing ond ultimately to experience the love of God for themselves. To that end, since September 2024 we have also compiled a List of Key Dates for the Term Ahead. This is sent to leaders in the church and also put on the church noticeboard. This is so that we as a church community know what is happening and can invite our friends and neighbours to join in. The Weekly Update is the best place to find out what is happening in the life of the church. It is sent out every week with dotes of events, invites to groups, and key events in the months to come. If you are not yet subscribed, you can sign up here: www.ladybaychurch.org.uk/join In the year to March 2025 the Church Webslte, ladybaychurch.org.uk, received 6.9K vi51ts. It is updated regul(3rly with new informotion. It is also kept up-to-dafe daily via the Church Diary page and a Featured Events section on the front page, which ore linked to our Churchsuite database. We are active on Lady Bay Local, with many people in the community finding out about our missional and outreach events via the Facebook Group. We have an instagram account, @LadyBayChurch, which has 90 Followers,. a 'what's happening this month post, is uploaded eoch month. Let's keep inviting people to experience and encounter the love of Godl Lauren Simpson

Creative Internship Second Year 18 Creative Internship Second Year My experience as a second-year Creative Intern has helped lo nurture my leadership skills and grow my confidence as a leader. I have had more opportunities to go to other churches and lead workshops. This has helped me to learn how to adjust the workshops for different contexts and groups. I have had the chance to create a portfolio of the workshops, which I send to churches when l am offering a workshop. The portfolio gives other churches ideas about how these workshops can be used as a discipleship or missional tool. Workshops Beyond Lady Bay: October 2024 - Painting the Gospels Workshop for Apprentice Track Retreat122 participants, mixed group of men and women, 18 to 30sl February 2025- Still Life and Linocut Workshop for Girl's Night at Holy Trinity Lambley {20 participants, women, 20s to 60s) (Planned) April 2025 - Clay Workshop for the Young Adults for Holy Trinity Lenton Creatlve Workshops for Lady Bay Church: December 2024 - Still Life and Linocut Workshop148 participants, women) March 2025 Psalms Experience for the congregation (25 participants, mixed group of men and women, aged 7 to 70s adults and 8 kids) (Planned) May 2025 - Lady Boy Arts Festivol

Creative Internship Second Year The feedback that I have had from the workshops has been so encouraging. At the Christmas Linocut workshop, I took a risk in starting the session with a prayer in a room filled with many non- Christians. l also did the same with the workshop in Lambley which had a similar non-christian audience. I pray that it would plant seeds of curiosity about Jesus as I highlighted that creativity was a gift from him for all of us to enjoy. The Psalms Experience workshop of praying the Psalms using creativity was a very special event. The fact that there was such a range of ages that attended and engaged with Psalm 23 was beautiful to see. The young people shared that they enjoyed the workshop, with one suggesting we should do another one at Easter. It is wonderful to see people engage with prayer in a new way and realise that they can encounter Jesus in surprising woys. even os they paint a colour on a page.

Creative Internship Second Year 20 Apprentice Track Team: I have been helping the team to SUPPOrt the first years, Apprentice Track teaching days. This includes serving in practical ways with refreshments, helping to lead the formation groups and pastoral support for the first-year interns. It has taught me skills of leading within my peer group. It has been amazing to see the incredible ways that Jesus has been reshaping the interns, ideas of him and themselves. Alpha Team: I supported Kristine in running Alpha this year. It hos been such an amazing privilege to walk with others as they discover who Jesus is or learn more about him. The group that we had was so open and curious about each other's stories of faith. It is so clear that Jesus is always drawing us near to him and that spaces like Alpha help to open our eyes to who he is and the ways he has been pursuing us. I will miss meeting with my group, but I feel so excited to serve again in this way. Lianna Basdeo - Creative Intern / Artist-in-Residence

Safeguarding Report Safeguarding Report We want the church in Lady Bay to be a safe place for all to flourish. We will continue to improve where we can, especially as we develop our children's and youth ministry. Safeguarding is a standing agenda item at all PCC meetings. The area of safeguarding is becoming ever increasingly complex. With this in mind, we have formed a Safeguarding team, which increases expertise and spreads the workload and risk. This team consists of: Jonathan Mole- vicar Jonathan Ashton - parish safeguarding officer Marcia Whittingham- assistant parish safeguarding officer Nikki Woolley- lead DBS recruiter Elaine Clarke - assistant recruiter The current church policies and procedures have been recently reviewed and updated. Of note, we have decided to combine the policies to cover both Lady Bay ond St Edmund's churches. We aim to ensure all junior church helpers/leaders, music leaders and PCC members have completed the correct level of troining. This is a continuous process as the active members of the church change. The Church of England guideline is to renew a DBS check every 3 years. This forms an almost continuous process of checks and renewals. Currently, there are 42 people with an up-to-date DBS check. Lady Bay is registered with the Diocese dashboard, which provides a summary of safeguarding and training activities. It forms a framework for the church to adhere to and provides a steer for outstanding areas. Jonathan Ashton - Parish Safeguarding Officer

Fobric Report 22 Fabric Report Another year has passed, and we continue the ongoing work of a programme of improvements that will keep our building5 and facilities up to standard and fit for purpose for years to come. New Boiler: After replacing several parts over the course of a few weeks in February 2025, it became clear that the boiler in the front hall was beyond repair, and the decision was taken to fit o brand new boiler. Once the initial teething problems were sorted out, all seems to be well now. The new boiler comes with a l O-year guarantee, so we are safe from the prospect of any repair costs. We do however have 3 other boilers, all of which are quite elderlyl Church slgnage: The PCC decided that we should update the signage on the front of the church to reflect the new branding of Lady Bay Church @ All Hallows. This was completed in October 2024. Thank you to Emily and James Malbon for their design work. Solar Panels., Nearly 15 years ago a decision was taken to fit an array of solar panels to the church roof. These continue to provide us with an income every year, hoving paid for themselves within about 7 years. Welcome area and disabled toilet: At the time of writing the work on the new welcome/coffee orea and disabled toilet is underway. A particular thank you to Rebecca Pallett for her vision and creative hard work over a long period of time. We look forward to seeing it progress over the next few weeks. As always, l am very grateful to all of the volunteers that have helped at various times with the work around the buildings. If you want to be involved in serving in this way, please do let me know.
