1. Prayer:
Almighty God, give to your people a new vision of you, of your love, of your grace and power;

(Open only to members on the Church Electoral Roll)
1. Bible Reading: Isaiah 55:9-11
“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my
thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not
return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields
seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It
will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for
which I sent it.”
2. Opening Prayer and Hymn:
Thine be the glory, risen, conquering Son;
endless is the victory thou o'er death hast won;
angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away,
kept the folded grave-clothes where thy body lay.
Thine be the glory, risen, conquering Son,
Endless is the victory thou o'er death hast won.
8
Lo, Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb;
lovingly he greets us, scatters fear and gloom;
let the Church with gladness, hymns of triumph sing;
for her Lord now liveth, death hath lost its sting.
No more we doubt thee, glorious Prince of Life;
life is naught without thee: aid us in our strife;
make us more than conquerors through thy deathless love;
bring us safe through Jordan to thy home above:

(1) In Christ alone my hope is found, he is my light, my strength, my song; this Cornerstone, this solid Ground, firm through the fiercest drought and storm. What heights of love, what depths of peace, when fears are stilled, when strivings cease! My Comforter, my All in All, here in the love of Christ I stand (2) In Christ alone! – who took on flesh fullness of God in helpless babe! This gift of love and righteousness, scorned by the ones he came to save: ‘till on that cross as Jesus died, the wrath of God was satisfied - for every sin on Him was laid; here in the death of Christ I live.
(3) There in the ground his body lay light of the world by darkness slain: Then bursting forth in glorious day up from the grave he rose again! And as he stands in victory sin's curse has lost its grip on me, For I am his and he is mine - bought with the precious blood of Christ (4) No guilt in life, no fear in death, this is the power of Christ in me; from life's first cry to final breath, Jesus commands my destiny. No power of hell, no scheme of man, can ever pluck me from His hand; till He returns or calls me home, here in the power of Christ I'll stand!
17. Date of 2017 Meeting to be determined at a later date.

St. John’s Church, Hartley Wintney
Minutes of the Annual Parochial Church Meeting held on 29th April 2015
Mark shared some thoughts from Deuteronomy 32:1-4
Minutes of the last APCM
The minutes of the APCM held on 30th April 2014 had been circulated in advance to all on the
Electoral Roll. On the proposal of Jane Cook, seconded by Sue Cooper, the minutes of the 2014 APCM
were unanimously approved.
Matters Arising
None
Financial Statements
Trudy noted that the APCM Papers circulated prior to the meeting included the full Charities Act
format financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 and a report from the Treasurer
summarising the main features.
The operational budget of the PCC was the unrestricted General Fund before depreciation plus the
restricted funds for the Youth Pastor, Worship Pastor and Children & Families Pastor. The operational
income for 2014 was £274k (budget £258k) and expenditure was £258k (budget £280k), resulting in a
surplus of £16k compared to a budgeted deficit of £22k. This favourable outcome was largely a result
of the deferral of maintenance expenditure on the church building, the receipt of a legacy of £5k and
excellent income from the coffee shop in its first year of trading, exceeding budgeted income by £5k.
Trudy confirmed that the 2014 income from the Church Centre room rentals and gross profit from the
coffee shop amounted to approximately £28k which more than covered the additional costs of the
Church Centre which were estimated at approximately £17k. The maintenance costs of the Church
Centre were expected to increase a little after the first year.
Operating Budget 2015
Trudy noted that the 2015 budget approved by the PCC was included in Appendix C of the APCM
papers. It was a prudent budget which assumed that donations continued at a similar level to current
donations. Expenditure was anticipated to increase in 2015 due to a large increase in Parish Share
and additional paid staff time. A deficit of £18k was anticipated in 2015. The budget did not include
any significant amounts for maintenance of the church building which would need to be the subject
of separate fund raising.
11
Church Centre Building Fund
Trudy noted that the final invoice had not yet been received from the building contractor and final
snagging was still in progress. There was approximately £86k remaining to be paid in relation to the
building of the Church Centre. Just over £49k was expected to be received into the Building Fund
during 2015 based on existing pledges and current monthly standing order/parish giving scheme
donations. In addition to the receipts already expected to be received in 2015, an additional £252k
was required to repay the loans. Assuming that the current level of monthly donations continues, the
loans would be repaid by 2021.
Thanksgiving project
It was noted that, at the start of the Church Centre development, the PCC had committed to
undertake a Thanksgiving Project (or projects – to be defined) to the value of 15% of the cost of the
building. Approximately £319k was required to fulfil this commitment.
Trudy noted that, in addition to the £252k required to repay the loans and the £319k to cover the
Thanksgiving project, a recent roof survey showed that approximately £150k would need to be spent
on the church roof. The overall additional funding requirement was therefore approximately £750k.
The 2014 accounts and the 2015 budget had already been approved by the PCC as trustees. On the
proposal of Peter James, seconded by Hilary Edgar, it was unanimously agreed that the financial
statements for year ending 31st Dec 2014 be received and that the 2015 budget be adopted.
On the proposal of Richard Peregrine, seconded by Tim Southern, the re-appointment of Michael
Willan, of Willan & Willan, as Independent Examiner was unanimously approved.
Ken pointed out that the cost of running St. John’s was £5,500 a week. In addition, the threefold
challenge of clearing the debt on the Church Centre, fulfilling our commitment to the Thanksgiving
Project and undertaking urgent repairs to the church roof represented an additional financial
challenge of around £750k.
Ken thanked Trudy for her magnificent work as Honorary Treasurer over the past 4½ years, including
the period of the building the Church Centre. Mark thanked God for Trudy, for His provision and for
wisdom in the use of resources.
Annual Report
Mark thanked all those who had contributed to the Annual Report. He also thanked Trish Hunter for
her diligence in Church Centre cleaning and Sue Cooper for being his PA in 2014.
There were no questions on the written reports.
Records and Archives
The paper records for 2014 paper records, plus the Terrier, Inventory and Logbook, were presented
to Michael Edgar who had been appointed St. John’s Archivist.
12
Election of Assistant Wardens
Five nominations had been received for the four posts. Angela Southern asked whether Ken was
eligible to stand if he had to remain a churchwarden until the new churchwardens had been sworn in
at the Archdeacon’s visitation. Mark did not see that this prevented Ken from standing as an
Assistant Warden for the year. Carolyn Jamieson then announced that she wished to withdraw her
nomination. Mark accepted that with some reluctance.
There remained four nominations:
Jane Cook – proposed by Ken Shorey, seconded by Sue Cooper
Hilary Edgar – proposed by Helen Sherlock, seconded by Carl Gardner
Angela Southern – proposed by Carolyn Jamieson, seconded by Trudy Rankin
Ken Shorey – proposed by Jane Cook, seconded by Trudy Rankin
Mark declared that, in the absence of any other nominations, these four had been duly elected as
Assistant Wardens and ex officio members of the PCC.
A question was raised about the difference between Deputy Churchwardens and Assistant Wardens.
Ken explained that Deputy Churchwardens could only be appointed with the permission of the bishop
and generally only in situations where a parish had more than one church. Though Assistant
Churchwardens are not mentioned in the Church Representation Rules, they are not uncommon in
larger churches and are mentioned in the Guide to the Churchwardens Measure 2001.
Mark indicated that he would like to see the number of Assistant Wardens elected at the APCM
reduced back to two with PCC having the option, if it so wished, of electing a further two from their
number. However, no motion to that effect was put and so four Assistant Wardens would be elected
at the APCM again in 2016.
Election of PCC members
Mark announced that Matt Pitcher, Angela Southern and Carl Gardner had completed their three-
year terms of office and were not eligible for re-election to the PCC as representatives of the laity.
Carl and Angela had been elected Churchwarden and Assistant Warden respectively and would
therefore remain as ex officio members of the PCC.
Mark proposed that the three year limitation of service on the PCC should be abandoned so that
retiring members no longer had to take a year’s break before they could be re-elected onto the PCC
as representatives of the laity. After some confusion and clarification, a motion to abandon the
limitation on years of service was proposed. Colin van Orton seconded by Duncan Sherlock, and
agreed overwhelmingly with five abstentions and one vote against. This relaxation would come into
effect (as do all decisions of the APCM) at next year’s APCM.
Election of Deanery Synod Representative
Following the resignation of Angela Yates, there was a casual vacancy for a lay representative of the
parish on the Deanery Synod.
Helen Sherlock had been proposed by Hilary Edgar and seconded by Carl Gardner. In the absence of
any other nominations, Helen was duly elected as deanery synod representative and ex officio
member of the PCC for the remainder of the term of office.
13
Election of PCC members
There were 10 vacancies on PCC, five being the annual election of one-third of the lay representatives
and five being unfilled casual vacancies. 11 nominations had been received but Hugo Sherlock was
not eligible because his name was not on the Electoral Roll in time for the APCM. Michael Edgar had
withdrawn his nomination on the basis that his wife, Hilary, was already on the PCC as a Deanery
Synod representative and there was a feeling that it was better if married couples do not serve
together on the PCC. Mark expressed his appreciation for Michael’s gracious decision. Mark said he
very much welcomed the nomination of a young person willing to serve on the PCC and he very much
hoped that Hugo would be co-opted onto the PCC at its first meeting.
There were therefore nine nominations remaining for the 10 vacancies:
Jessica Arthur, proposed by Judith Main and seconded by Helen Cain
Martin Barnes, proposed by Angela Southern and seconded by Hilary Edgar
John Callaway, proposed by Angela Bushell and seconded by Jane Cook
Samantha Chandler, proposed by Helen Sherlock and seconded by Richard Blore
Sylvia Evans-Pritchard, proposed by Norman Leversuch and seconded by Becky Gardner
Louise Greenwood, proposed by Trudy Rankin and seconded by Jay Norris
Mags Mercer, proposed by Lisa Peart and seconded by Trudy Rankin
Andie Painter, proposed by Sue Tanner and seconded by Julie McIntyre
Derek Trendell, proposed by Trudy Rankin and seconded by Diana Harvey
In the absence of any other nominations, Mark declared (after some confusion) that all had been duly
elected for three years.
(Note: it subsequently became clear that, under the Church Representation Rules, only five could be
elected for three years and the others would need to fill the casual vacancies for the remainder of the
terms of office. This would be sorted out in a fair and proper way prior to the first PCC meeting.)

Presentation: 21st Century Church – The Challenge of Change
Mark gave a presentation emphasising the need to focus on change, reform and revival.
(Is 43:18-19; 2 Cor 5:17; 2 Cor 3:18)
Questions
Angela Southern requested that the gift made by St. John’s PCC to Tearfund for the recent Nepal earthquake aid
appeal (£1000) should be highlighted. Mark subsequently did so.
Peter James commented on the very low attendances at the fortnightly midweek communion on Wednesdays and
suggested that house communions might be a better option. Mark said that the demands on clergy time made a
small midweek communion difficult to maintain and that the PCC would need to decide whether it was sustainable.
The meeting closed with a hymn and a blessing at 21.40.
15
St. John’s Church, Hartley Wintney – APCM motions, 2016
1. Election of Assistant Wardens
Assistant Wardens were reintroduced by the APCM in 2010 when it was unanimously agreed:
“That St. John’s Church elect annually, at the APCM, two Assistant Wardens to assist the elected
Churchwardens in the execution of their duties. The Assistant Wardens:
1. shall be persons eligible to stand for election as Churchwardens 2. shall serve for one year 3. shall be eligible for re-election 4. shall be ex-officio members of the PCC and Standing Committee.”
At the APCM in 2014, the number of Assistant Wardens was increased from two to four.
The cumulative impact of these motions has been to increase the size of the PCC by up to four members, from
22/23 to 26/27 – 15 elected members, one LLM representative and 11 ex officio members – the incumbent, two
churchwardens, the assistant wardens, three Deanery Synod members and possibly (as at present) a Diocesan or
General Synod member. We consequently have a PCC significantly larger than is normal for a church of our size.
The draft minutes of last year’s APCM record:
“Mark indicated that he would like to see the number of Assistant Wardens elected at the APCM reduced back to
two with PCC having the option, if it so wished, of electing a further two from their number. However, no motion
to that effect was put and so four Assistant Wardens would be elected at the APCM again in 2016.”
It is therefore now proposed:
That, from 2017, TWO Assistant Churchwardens are elected each year at the APCM and that a FURTHER TWO
Assistant Wardens are elected each year at the first meeting of the new PCC, normally from within their number.
The likely impact of this motion is that the PCC would in future have a total membership of 24 or 25 which, though
still large, is closer to the norm.
2. Election of PCC members The Church Representation Rules allow the APCM to decide on whether or not there should be a limitation on
years of service for elected PCC members.
Limitation on years of service
17. The annual meeting may decide that no representative of the laity being a member of the parochial church council by virtue of rule 14(1)(g) may hold office after the date of that meeting for more than a specified number of years continuously and may also decide that after a specified interval a person who has ceased to be eligible by reason of such decision may again stand for election as representative of the laity on the council.
Prior to last year’s APCM (and for longer than any current member of the church can recall), the policy at St. John’s
was that PCC members were not eligible for re-election after serving continuously for three years but could stand
for election again after a one-year break in service. At last year’s APCM, this limitation on years of service was
revoked. The draft minutes record:
16
“Mark proposed that the three year limitation of service on the PCC should be abandoned so that retiring
members no longer had to take a year’s break before they could be re-elected onto the PCC as
representatives of the laity. After some confusion and clarification, a motion to abandon the limitation on
years of service was proposed Colin van Orton, seconded Duncan Sherlock and agreed overwhelmingly with
five abstentions and one vote against. This relaxation would come into effect (as do all decisions of the
APCM) at next year’s APCM.”
The particular problem that led to the formation of this motion proved not to be an issue and could, anyway, have
been resolved by co-option, as permitted within the Church Representation Rules.*
The main reasons why PCCs often have a limitation on years of service are that:
1. it encourages new people to put themselves forward for election onto the PCC; 2. It ensures that the PCC doesn’t become a self-perpetuating club; 3. It regularly provides fresh blood on the PCC; 4. It gives opportunities for more people to serve as PCC members.
The negative impact is the loss of valuable expertise which may be difficult to replace, though the ability to co-opt
provides a solution if the PCC believes that its ability to function effectively may be jeopardised by that loss of
expertise. (For example, we have sometimes used the ability to co-opt to ensure that the Treasurer remains a
member of the PCC.)
It is therefore proposed:
That a limitation on years of service of members of the PCC be re-introduced from the APCM in 2017 so that no
representatives of the laity elected under paragraph 14(1)(g) of the Church Representation Rules shall serve more than
SIX YEARS continuously but may again stand for election as a representative of the laity after an interval of TWO
YEARS.
This would bring the limitation on years of service of elected members of the PCC in line with that of
churchwardens who must have a two year break after serving continuously for six years. It would make no
difference to the current situation until 2019 when a representative of the laity elected in 2013 and re-elected in
2016 (as now permitted as a result of last year’s APCM motion) will have served continuously for six years.
Electoral roll members may wish to test the view of the meeting by proposing amendments to this motion with
variations, perhaps (for example) substituting ONE YEAR in place of two years as the interval before being eligible
to stand again for election.
*Under paragraph 14(h) of the Church Representation Rules, the PCC may co-opt up to two additional members to serve until the conclusion of the next annual meeting. “The term of office of a co-opted member shall be until the conclusion of the next annual meeting; but without prejudice to his being co-opted on subsequent occasions for a similar term, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of these rules.” Such co-opted members have full voting rights.

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St. John’s, Hartley Wintney
Annual Report & Financial Statements For the year ended 31st December 2015
Charity Registered Number: 1130172
18
2015 Annual Trustees’ Report and Accounts for the
Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St. John’s
Hartley Wintney
Aims and Purposes
St. John’s Hartley Wintney Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the
Vicar, Canon Mark Tanner, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church –
pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It is also responsible for the maintenance of the Parish Church
building and the St. John’s Church Centre.
The PCC is registered as the charity "The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St. John’s
Hartley Wintney", charity number 1130172. The shorter title generally used is St. John’s Hartley Wintney
PCC.
Objectives and Activities
The PCC is committed to encouraging people from Hartley Wintney and the surrounding area to follow
Jesus in their daily lives, to join in corporate worship of God on a regular basis at St. John’s Church Hartley
Wintney and to become part of our church family which seeks to look outward to serve our community.
The PCC maintains an overview of worship and activities throughout the parish and makes suggestions on
how our services, worship and activities can involve the many groups that live within and outside our parish.
When planning our activities for the year, the incumbent and the PCC have considered the Commission’s
guidance on public benefit, and in particular, the supplementary guidance for charities for the
advancement of religion. A key focus is to enable people to live out their faith as part of our parish
community, especially through:
worship and prayer, bible knowledge and teaching
the provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish and beyond
world and home missions and outreach support.
To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the church building and the new St.
John’s Church Centre, which was opened in November 2013 following an eighteen month construction
programme.
Achievement and performance
The Reverend Canon Mark Tanner has been the Vicar of the Parish throughout the year, having been
appointed Vicar in January 2013.
There are currently 254 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll, 183 of whom are resident within the
parish. Six members have joined the roll and one has been removed from the roll.
All are welcome to attend our services. Attendance has increased slightly at the 9am Service and remained
constant at the 10.30am Service. The average weekly attendance, counted during October 2015, was 148
adults and 45 children under 16. Attendance at Festival Services were significantly greater than the
previous year with 848 people attending Services on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. This attendance
was significantly impacted by the ‘Jesus Rocks’ focus part of our evangelistic strategy. A large number of
people continue to meet together in weekly Life Groups following teaching series agreed with the Vicar
19
and often corresponding to the sermon series in Sunday services. During the year the ALPHA course has
attracted significant attendance.
St. John’s plays a pivotal role in the parish and village of Hartley Wintney and beyond. Events are arranged
on a regular basis and church members are encouraged to be fully involved in the life of the community
and beyond. These activities are recorded in the reports presented at the APCM.
The excellent Church Centre continues to enhance our mission and ministry to the community and enables
a wide range of activities for all ages to be provided, including Sunday morning activities for children and
young people, a regular meeting place for Bumps and Babies (a parent/toddler group), Mothers’ Union,
Revive (a weekly women’s group), Naomi’s Watch (a group for women on their own), Positive Parenting
courses, Men’s Breakfasts, Alpha courses, Marriage Courses, a home for the Forget-Me-Not Café (for those
living with dementia), activities for the elderly, Women’s Breakfasts and many other events. We have also
been able to serve the community by providing rooms and halls which can be rented by individuals and
organisations from outside the church community. The rental income has helped us to cover some of the
costs of running the Church Centre.
The Church Centre has also enabled us to develop the coffee shop, staffed entirely by volunteers, to provide
a meeting place and a warm welcome for people from our community. St. John’s Coffee has been a great
success and has introduced people to the church who would not have crossed the threshold without the
offer of real coffee. We are particularly grateful to the volunteers who have made this such a success.
Financial Review
Full details of our financial position and the movements in 2015 are included in the Financial Statements,
Notes and Appendices that accompany this report. The Youth Pastor, Worship Pastor and Children’s and
Families Pastor restricted funds have usually been subsidised by the General Fund and for practical
purposes are managed together and they are amalgamated as the General Fund in the comments below
in the interests of simplicity.
Total income to the General Fund was £299k (2014: £274k) including £258k of giving and the Coffee shop
sales of £22k. Expenditure was £341k including £57k of depreciation and our Parish Share £112k paid to
the Winchester Diocese for all the services including Stipends and training that we get from it. Expenditure
was £353K in 2014.
Income to the Building Fund, almost all from giving was £54K (2014 £121k). Interest of £2.4k was paid on
our loans.
Overall a surplus of £2k (2014 £77k) resulted. This is after an accounting charge for depreciation of £56k in
both years in respect of the building. Charges for depreciation have no effect on our cash position. The
Church Centre made a positive contribution estimated as follows:
20
£k
Coffee shop gross profit 17
Rental income 12
29
Insurance 1
Cleaning 4
Maintenance 7
Facilities manager – portion 4
Utilities 5

Net 8
However, various Church Activities receive the use of rooms at the Centre free of charge. We have
estimated that if charges were made at our normal rates these would have amounted to over £60k. There
has never been an intention to charge for these activities but the figure helps put the value of the Centre
in better context. We will be analysing the Centre’s expenditure in more detail in the future so that we
produce more accurate figures.
The 2015 Financial Statements do not incorporate the financial affairs of Contact. This a result of the PCC
recognising formally during 2015 that the Contact Committee had for some time been, in effect, financially
autonomous and independent. The PCC did not have access to the bank balances that had been included
in the Financial Statements, so that in that sense, the amounts available to the PCC were overstated. The
PCC very carefully recognised the financial independence of Contact in such a way as to ensure continuing
complete editorial control over both content and advertising.
Construction of the Church Centre was completed in October 2013 and it was opened in November 2013.
Expenditure on construction, together with the associated professional fees, has been capitalised since the
beginning of 2012 when the PCC resolved to enter into a contract for the construction of the Church Centre.
The costs of the building which have been capitalised are £1,999k, and the building is being depreciated
over 50 years. Prior to the 2012 decision of the PCC to go ahead with the construction, £292k of
professional fees and other planning expenses had been expensed as incurred. In addition, £69k of
equipment, furniture and audio-visual equipment purchased to fit-out the new Church Centre, and
included within the “Direct Works” budget of the building fund, has been capitalised and will be
depreciated over five to seven years, depending on the nature of the individual assets.
The final cost of construction of the St. John’s Church Centre is still being discussed between the Quantity
Surveyors and the building contractors, HA & DB Kitchin, but the latest estimates indicate that the complete
project, including construction and professional fees, has come in at slightly under the £2.38m originally
estimated for the work. The figure of £2.4m, often quoted for the building project, included an allowance
of £20k for estimated loan interest which will be incurred on loans before they are repaid.
21
Reserves Policy
It is the policy of the PCC to maintain a minimum balance on the Unrestricted General Fund which equates
to the value of two months of normal expenditure on the Unrestricted Funds (excluding missions,
disbursements and depreciation), Youth Pastor/ Worship Pastor/ Children & Families Pastor Restricted
Funds. Based on our budgeted expenditure for 2016, this represents a balance of approximately £47k. The
balance on the Unrestricted General Fund Reserve as at 31 December 2015 of £116k satisfies this policy.
Structure, Governance and Management
The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates
under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC is a Registered Charity. The method of
appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules.
At St. John’s, the membership of the PCC includes the clergy licensed to the parish (ex-officio), the two
Churchwardens, one representative of the Readers, in addition to members elected by those members of
the congregation who are on the Electoral Roll. All those who attend our services are encouraged to register
on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance
to the parish, including how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. The activities planned by the PCC
complied with the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, and were open to (and often were
intended for) residents of the parish and the wider area. The full PCC met ten times during the year with
an average attendance of 64%
The Standing Committee is a requirement of the Church Representation Rules. The Standing Committee is
required to have at least five members including the Vicar and the two Churchwardens. The Standing
Committee has power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions
given by the PCC.

Statement of Responsibilities of the Trustees
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and Financial Statements in accordance with
applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (UK GAAP) and these financial
statements have therefore been prepared in accordance with Statement of Recommended Accounting
Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2005), UK Accounting Standards, the Charities Act
2011, and the Church Accounting Regulations 2006.
In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable
accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial
statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the
assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and
other irregularities.

Independent Examiner's Report to the members/trustees of the Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St. John’s Hartley Wintney
Charity Number 1130172
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2015, which are set out on pages 25 to 34.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act; follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commissioners
(under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act); and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission.
An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention:
(1) which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records and comply with the accounting
requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The PCC of St. John’s Church Hartley Wintney Notes to the Financial Statements
1. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 in
accordance with applicable accounting standards, the current Statement of Recommended
Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2005), and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The financial
statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They
do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their affiliation to another body, nor those
that are informal gatherings of church members.
Funds
Unrestricted funds are general funds that are not subject to any restrictions as to their use and are
available for the general purposes of the PCC.
Restricted funds represent donations or grants received for a specific purpose or invited by the PCC
for a specific purpose. The funds may only be expended on the specific purpose for which they were
given. All expenditure from a restricted fund is charged to that fund. If any of that expenditure is of
a capital nature its cost is included in additions to fixed assets and is shown as a transfer from the
restricted fund to the General Capital Fund. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of the year
must be carried forward as a balance on that fund unless otherwise agreed with the donor.
Endowment funds are funds for which the capital must be maintained; only income arising from
investment of the endowment may be used either as restricted or unrestricted funds depending
upon the purpose for which the endowment was established.
Incoming Resources
Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised
when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for
when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due. Dividends and interest are accounted for when
receivable. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All incoming resources are
accounted for gross.
Resources expended
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a
binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due.
All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.
The PCC has a policy of, where possible, making grants or donations to mission partners at home
and overseas which represent 15% of voluntary unrestricted income received in the year. To the
extent that the full 15% has not been distributed by 31 December a provision is made for payment
28
in the following year. Donations for specific missions are dealt with through restricted reserves and
are therefore in addition to the 15% giving to missions from unrestricted funds.
Fixed Assets
Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.10 (2) of the
Charities Act 2011. Costs associated with the maintenance or improvement of such assets are
written off in the year they are incurred.
St. John’s Church Centre - Construction of the St. John’s Church Centre commenced in April 2012
and expenditure on the construction of the building plus associated professional fees has been
capitalised from the beginning of 2012 when the PCC resolved to enter into an agreement with a
building contractor for the construction of the Church Centre. Associated professional fees
amounting to £292,000 had been expensed prior to this date. The building was completed in
November 2013.
At the date of signing these accounts the final invoice has not been received from the building
contractor and it has been necessary to include an estimate of the final payments to the Contractor
and professional advisors which will be payable during 2016.
Moveable Church Furnishings - The various items of moveable church furnishings are vested in the
Churchwardens for the use and benefit of the parishioners and cannot be disposed of without a
faculty. These assets are regarded as “inalienable” property held on special trust on behalf of the
PCC and are capitalised at cost and depreciated over their useful economic life other than where
insufficient cost information is available due to the age of the items. In this case the item is not
capitalised, but all items are included in the Church’s inventory listing.
Other furniture and equipment used on a continuing basis for the work of the PCC and costing in
excess of £500 is capitalised at cost and depreciated over the asset’s estimated useful life. Normally
assets costing less than £500 are expensed in the Statement of Financial Activity in the year that the
cost is incurred. However, during 2013 and 2014, items of furniture and equipment purchased to
equip the St. John’s Church Centre were capitalised even if under £500 as the total capital purchases
were treated as one project.
Depreciation
Assets are depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful life which is assessed as
follows:
Church Centre Building - 50 years Audio Visual Equipment - 7 years Furniture – 7 years Equipment – 5 years
29
Current Assets
Amounts owing to the PCC at 31 December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as
debtors less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectable. Short term deposits include cash
held on deposit either with the Church of England or with a bank.
Creditors falling due after one year
These amounts relate to loans provided by members of the congregation and the Winchester
Diocesan Board of Finance for the building of the St. John’s Church Centre. The terms of the loans,
including the rate of interest, are shown in note 12 to the financial statements.
2. Staff Costs
During the year the PCC employed a Youth Pastor, Worship Pastor, Children and Families Pastor,
Pastoral Director, Church Administrator, Facilities Manager, Contact Magazine Editor, and a Church
Centre Cleaner. All of these positions were part time. No employee earned more than £40,000 per
annum. Tax and National Insurance payments to the Inland Revenue are managed on behalf of the
PCC by Stewardship Services, an external agency.
3. Audit Fees
An audit was not required in 2015 nor in 2014 but the financial statements have been independently
reviewed by Michael Willan, FCA, of Willan and Willan, High St, Hartley Wintney.

Removal of Contact Fund
During the year the Committee responsible for Contact became financially independent of the PCC and it is no longer appropriate to incorporate it
into the PCC accounts. The PCC retains full editorial control.

VICAR’S FORWARD . . .
“Can anyone tell the Lord what to do? Who can teach him or give advice?” Isaiah 40:13
It is good to reflect that this is God’s work that we are called to, take stock and in the power of the Holy
Spirit move forward and build on all that God is doing among us. The verse above from Isaiah reminds us
that we cannot tell God what to do - He is the Sovereign God. Our task is to follow where He leads and
crucial in this is prayer, an absolute priority for the coming year.
“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s
grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10
This last year has brought new challenges to us at St. John’s. Our life together has been transformed
through the activities of the Church Centre. In addition to numerous private bookings, it has been simply
magnificent to see the growth in attendance at Bumps and Babies. The Parish Council Award to Bumps
and Babies (and Dorothy Harvey) was well deserved and a credit to the whole Team, to whom we are
immensely grateful. Alongside this, the growth of the Forget Me Not café, Messy Church, Parenting and
Marriage Courses to name a few, means that St. John’s can truly be called a Church without walls and one
which looks outward in service and mission.
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.”
Philippians 2:3
At the start of this report, I want to extend my gratitude to the two Churchwardens, Andrew Marshall and
Carl Gardner for all they have done in this last year and the support and strength they have been to me.
We should be in no doubt that those appointed to the position of Churchwarden are crucial to the life of
a church and Andrew and Carl have used their complementary gifts in ways that reflect the needs of a
growing church. Andrew and Carl have been splendidly supported by Hilary Edgar, Angela Southern, Jane
Cook and Ken Shorey and the Sidespeople and I extend to them our thanks. Derek Trendell is simply
magnificent as Treasurer and it has been a pleasure to work with Malcolm Lewin as PCC Secretary and the
PCC. Trish Hunter’s commitment to cleaning the Church Centre is hugely appreciated, and our thanks go
to her. This year, Mary James is stepping down as Sacristan. Mary has undertaken this role with
faithfulness and patience at the changing styles of Clergy and we warmly thank her for all she has done.
Warm thanks to you all.
We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labour prompted by love, and
your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 1:3
I also want to express thanks to the Staff Team. Julie McIntyre and Lisa Walker whose work is excellent
and appreciated. Becky Gardner has also joined the Staff Team as Pastoral Director and her contribution,
which because of the nature of pastoral ministry is often hidden, has been immense, vital and pivotal to
the health of the church. Claire Parker’s work with children and Jenni Norris’s work with young people is
awesome, especially when we consider that most churches have no work with these groups! Jay Norris as
Worship Pastor and Martin Barnes as our esteemed organist are great advocates of our two expressions,
traditional and contemporary and I am thrilled we have excellent practitioners in both areas – warm
thanks to you all.
36
Helen Sherlock has taken over the lead in Women's Ministry having taken over from June Shorey to
whom we offer our thanks. Simon Shorey is developing Men's Ministry (and rather good cooked
breakfasts!) and sports ministry! Helen and Simon are doing this while studying for ordination at St.
Mellitus College and the start they have made is outstanding! Lou Shorey leads on discipleship and
Trudy Rankin on evangelism. Norman Leversuch as Facilities Manager, Hazel Leversuch as Bookings
Secretary and Richard Spink and Patrick Neely are brilliant and give huge amounts of time. Their work
and dedication alongside the flower team, cleaning team and countless other people exercising ministry
and service simply point to a growing and vibrant church.
The support, personal encouragement and the sharing of ministry and mission in St. John’s is amazing and
I extend to everyone heartfelt thanks and in this coming year offer my continued support and delight at
working together.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here
am I. Send me!’ Isaiah 6:8
Our ministry provision at St. John’s remains strong. It was an incredible privilege to celebrate with Arnold
Bennett his sixty years of ministry. Arnold, we salute you and give thanks to God for all you do. Martin
East has been an amazing asset. I could not do what I do without Martin and his friendship and warmth,
care, detail and attention to people are hugely appreciated. My thanks to them all, as indeed to Ian
Coster, Richard Blore and Tony Bushell and a team of people who serve so faithfully.
In writing the annual report I always fear missing someone out. I think with gratitude also of people like
Michael Edgar overseeing mission and Mags Mercer overseeing prayer Ministry. To really do the job
properly I really need to mention everyone at St. John’s and that is the hallmark of a Church where
people are keen to exercise the gifts that God has given. Long may it continue!!
This year I will speak about vision in the annual meeting for the Bible is quite clear that:
"Where there is no vision, the people perish." Proverbs 29:18
It has to be said that the face of ministry in the Church of England as we have known it cannot remain the
same. At St. John’s we will need to be open to new forms of ministry, in which all of us are enabled to
serve and care for the church and community using the gifts that God has given us. We will be joined in
July by Janette Smith and Ben Chase. The brief is to train them to be ready to take on significant
churches. I can’t wait … it will provide the opportunity to build on all that is already good.
It is important that new gifts are released and to enable this to happen effectively we all need to be
willing to move on to new areas of involvement and service.
It is with immense gratitude to God for all He has done in this last year that I write this report and with
fresh enthusiasm and vision for the way ahead. May we follow where He leads.
Sue joins me in extending our thanks to all at St. John’s for their love and support. We love being with
you!

Churchwardens
Proverbs 3:9-10 “Honour the Lord with your wealth and with the first fruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.” ESV
Andrew Marshall and Carl Gardner were elected as our Church Wardens last year and have continued to benefit from the invaluable support of four assistant wardens, who this year were: Angela Southern, Hilary Edgar, Ken Shorey and Jane Cook. Given that both Andrew and Carl work full time, it was necessary to re-shape the pattern of activity and duties of our churchwardens. To this end, there has been a greater reliance on the assistants, numerous volunteers and paid staff who serve St. John’s so well in our services, maintaining the fabric of the buildings and grounds, effective operation of the Church Centre and Coffee Shop as well as overseeing our various ministries. As we begin looking forward to a new year, with God’s continued grace and his sustaining and guiding spirit, we will be seeking to move into an era of renewed church-wide prayer, worship and giving. We look to Him, through this church body, to meet the financial challenges of maintaining and running both the church building and Church Centre; and to meet the broader needs of our community who must hear the Gospel and see it in action.
Carl Gardner & Andrew Marshall
Treasurer
Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others
has fulfilled the law. Romans 13:8
It has been a very interesting first year as Treasurer of St. John’s and, in many ways, very humbling. I am
full of gratitude to Trudy Rankin, my predecessor, for all her help and all the hard work she has done in the
past. I am also very grateful to Paul Main and Tim Southern who provide a great deal of assistance behind
the scenes as do our secretaries, Julie and Lisa. They all make my job easier.
I have also been moved by the support and generosity of so many members; without this the Church could
not operate or survive. It costs nearly £5000 a week to run St. John’s before we make any headway on
repaying our loans.
The Financial Statements in Section 1 of this report comply fully with the requirements of the Charities Acts
and are designed to give a full picture of our financial affairs. Whilst they achieve this, I suspect that for
many they are a bit complex and in this report I will try to set out our position in more simple terms. Part
of the apparent complexity is caused by needing to account for the ‘Restricted Funds’. These reflect monies
received for and expended on specific purposes and which are not available for the general purpose of
running the Church. We need to account for these in seven or even eight columns on one page where for
many organisations one column would suffice.
38
CHURCH CENTRE BUILDING FUND
The Church Centre Building Fund is the most significant restricted fund. By 2015, all of the building cost
had been incurred and the movements on this fund are the receipt of continuing donations towards its
cost and interest and minor costs of improvements. At 31 December 2015, receipts for the building were
still less than its total cost by an amount of £247,000 as set out in Appendix C. Members are continuing
to meet their commitments to this cost for which we are very grateful. It is obviously very helpful and
very important that they continue to do so.
There is also a commitment to a Thanksgiving Project of 15% of the building cost, an amount of some
£319,000. I understand that it was always intended that this project would be sequential on completing
and paying for the building and, as you will see below, our overall financial position does not allow this
policy to be changed as yet.
The 2015 Financial Statements do not incorporate the financial affairs of Contact magazine. This a result
of the PCC recognising formally during 2015 that the Contact Committee had for some time been, in
effect, financially autonomous and independent. The PCC did not have access to the bank balances that
had been included in the Financial Statements so that, in that sense, the amounts available to the PCC
were overstated. The PCC very carefully recognised the financial independence of Contact in such a way
as to ensure continuing complete editorial control over both content and advertising.
GENERAL MATTERS
The operational budget of the PCC includes the restricted funds for the Youth Pastor, Worship Pastor and
Children & Families Pastor as well as the unrestricted General Fund. Those restricted funds have usually
needed to be subsidised by the General Fund.
In 2015, the PCC budgeted for an overall deficit of almost £19,000 but the actual result was a surplus of
just over £11,000, largely because donations were some £31,000 more than had been budgeted.
Appendix A shows a detailed comparison. Appendix B shows the budget for 2016 as approved by the PCC
compared to the actual result for 2015.
The budget for 2016 has been problematic to produce because we have some major uncertainties as set
out in Appendix B. The most important of these concerns, the much needed repairs to the Church roof.
These have been estimated at £150,000 based on an architect’s survey which suggested that the repairs
could be done over a five year period. The Quinquennial Inspection took place recently and when we
receive the report we will be in a position to make detailed plans.
The other major uncertainty is how successful the Giving in Grace Programme will be. It is very important
to our financial health that it does succeed; I have faith that we will all play our part.
CASH POSITION
This is the most important aspect of our finances.
Our total bank balances at 31 December 2015 were £151,646 – but this paints too rosy a picture. If we
had received all the amounts due to us at that date and paid off our current liabilities – which include
£52,177 for the building (as we have still not received a final account) and loan repayments of £39,500,
39
and after allowing for the money we hold for restricted funds – we would have had only around £40,000
in the bank.
However, the PCC has a policy that we should hold two months’ normal expenditure at all times and,
based on our 2016 budget, that amount would be £47,000. In addition, we have the following
obligations:
£
Loans due in 2017-2019 155,500
Church Roof repairs 150,000 (estimate)
Consequent internal repairs 100,000 (estimate)
Driveway 20,000 (estimate)
Thanksgiving project 319,000
Total 744,500
We are continuing to receive in excess of £50,000 a year as members meet their commitments to the
Church Centre costs and this should continue until 2021.
I have prepared cash flow forecasts which, resting on the major assumptions that the Church Centre
receipts continue until 2021 and Giving in Grace contributes £60,000 a year, indicate that we will be able
to start making payments in respect of the Thanksgiving Project in 2020. I am sure that that possible time
frame will disappoint many.
THE FUTURE
We obviously have some challenges to overcome. I am confident that we will do so because of the
combined support of our members and the hard work that so many put in.
St Paul said it all many years ago, as above – “Let there be no debt…..” These words will be my guide for as
long as I am treasurer.

Church Centre Maintenance / Grounds
“I have surely built You a lofty house, A place for Your dwelling forever."
1 Kings 8:13
Stewardship of the church building for the past year has been one of limited maintenance to preserve the status quo and minimise further deterioration. The Quinquennial survey has recently been carried out and the report is awaited. Although the Quinquennial survey may add to the list, there are a number of major pieces of work that have already been identified that will need to be carried out in the foreseeable future. These include:
Repairing the roof
Rectifying the sources of damp in the walls
Renovation of the gutter drainage system
Redecorating the interior For the Church Centre, it has been another successful year of operation. As reported at the last APCM, the bulk of the building snagging list has been resolved, however, a number of intractable items remain that delay signing off the building contract as complete. A number of additional items have also been identified that require further rectification work. With regard to the church grounds; a number of the car parking spaces on the north side of the church require improvement. However, the cost of the work precludes it being carried out by contractors. Investigations will be carried out to establish the feasibility of volunteers carrying out the work. A number of trees in the grounds require pruning, this has been agreed in principle with Hart Council, but needs to be formalised. To assist with the operation and maintenance of the church and Centre, 2 teams are being set up, one to assist with operating the Centre and a second team to assist with the church and grounds.

Safeguarding Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs
to such as these." Matthew 19:14 We continue to give high priority to Safeguarding. During this year 19 applications were made for Disclosure and Barring Service clearances. Alongside this, Staff hold interviews with each person volunteering for various ministries and references are obtained. I am grateful to Jo Davies for her role as Safeguarding Officer. We have also initiated a dedicated Safeguarding email address for any concerns to be raised and our Safeguarding Children and Young People, Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults and Domestic Abuse polices have all been received and adopted by Church Council.

Deanery Synod
Acts 4 verse 32 – they shared everything they had
St. John's was represented at the Deanery Synod by Angela Bushell, Ian Coster, Hilary Edgar and Helen Sherlock. There have been four meetings this year focusing on establishing the p-map in every parish – to grow authentic disciples, to re-imagine the church, to be agents of social transformation, and to belong together in Christ. Encouraging starts have been made. As part of re-imagining the church, it is purposed to consult together “to create seven 'clusters' consisting of four urban and three rural groupings”, seeking Diocesan agreement by September 2016. We were challenged by Colin Harbridge (Diocesan Treasurer) over the arrangements to come together and, in a practical way, show how we can support the whole of the diocese in promoting wider mission by increasing our giving. Colin calculated that if each church member gave an extra £1.60 per week that would result in £80,000 per annum! The final meeting was in our Church Centre when Bishop Tim spoke to encourage everyone to go forward to be Passionate, Pioneering, and Prophetic in our Christian walk of witness. There was a good Q&A session ending with this prayer – Glorious God, you have taken hold of us and made us your own. In the power of your Spirit, give us grace to press on in your purposes, loving one another, learning together and living the mission of Him who calls us onwards, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Rev. Peter Dyson has been an outstanding Area Dean and Chairman of Deanery Synod, bringing enormous energy, spiritual focus, and humour to the task. He will be missed and we wish him and his family every blessing in his new posting in Jersey. Rev. Canon Mark Tanner is our new Area Dean and Chairman, assisted by Rev. Marion de Quidt.

Diocesan Synod
For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to
give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11 - NIV)
I didn’t stand for re-election to General Synod but both Mark and I were elected to serve on the Diocesan
Synod for the next three years as representatives (respectively) of the clergy and laity of the Odiham
Deanery.
The Diocesan Synod has a governance role in overseeing the Diocese’s plans and budgets. It met three
times in 2015 and continues to support Bishop Tim’s work in transforming us into a mission-shaped
Diocese through a commitment to four strategic priorities that focus on Living the Mission of Jesus.
Underpinning this is a new structure of strategic planning through Mission Action Planning at deanery
level (dMAPS), parish level (pMAPS) and now at archdeaconry level (aMAPS).

Worship “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name” Psalm 100:4
The last year in worship across the church has been great to be a part of! We are at a time when the relationship between traditional and contemporary expressions is very strong in the background, which enables a great appreciation and embrace for both styles in the church family. We are so grateful for the commitment and excellence that Martin Barnes brings to the role of Organist for the traditional service as well as seasonal services, weddings, funerals and more. We are excited to be in the early stages of thinking through Friday Lunchtime Organ Concerts, which will see Martin and others playing for visitors whilst they eat their lunch. This is an event that has worked well in other churches. On the contemporary side of worship we have loved a new found intimacy in worship particularly at the end of services, as well as continuing to raise up new leaders and musicians and push creative boundaries. This year we will slowly introduce a new vision for the amazing team of people who serve in worship, to Practice His Presence, His Praise and His Purpose. We also introduce a new role within the team of 'Worship Ambassadors', who will help Jay to lead the ministry and those involved. We continue to value creativity and the raising up of young leaders very highly. This year we introduced our first collection of songs called 'ONE' and we hope to make space to write and record some more songs as we approach the summer. It is now a year on from Eliza leading worship for the first time and she continues to grow in gifting and authority as a leader. I am excited for these values to continue to underpin all that we do as we go forward. Recent Worship Team Quotes as we embark on the new vision…
‘We are excited to encourage more of the supernatural here, and not just in the Summer’ … ‘We are a team… not just the times we are on duty but always’… ‘We are ready to help people climb the step as they join the team’… ‘We no longer focus too much on the Instrument and what we are playing, but on the time of worship’… ‘The fact that we are seeing signs of this vision now means it’s already becoming part of our DNA’… ‘It is exciting to think we could come together more often and write songs as a family’… ‘I want more people to experience the time of worship we had in this room’.

Communications
“And this is the plan:
At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ”
Ephesians 1:10
It was another big year in communications with the re-design of the website, to act as a much more
representative first step for visitors, as well as a boost in our social media activity. I am so thankful to
Haley Johnson for all the work she did on our website during her year with us. I am also thankful to Andie
Painter for taking on our social media accounts alongside myself. Her ability to use ‘Facebook’ and
‘Twitter’ to boost our evangelistic village campaigns has been so valuable and fruitful.
44
We have also introduced an emailing service via ‘Mailchimp’ that over 100 people have signed up to via
the website and in house events. This enables us to send a monthly update to the subscribers linking
them through to events on our website.
Over the next year we aim to tighten up our strategic approach to communications across all forms (printed, on screen, online, social media, spoken). I will work closely with Andie to pull together a paper outlining our purpose in using all forms of communication, and outlining the need for increased spoken communication in our times of gathering. The role of communication and media is an ever increasing one as we grow at St. John’s, so it is key that we continue to seek God for further investment into this role in the future.

First Steps
“Those who accepted his message were baptised, and about three thousand were added to their number
that day.” Acts 2:41
During 2015 there have been 12 Infant Baptisms at St. John’s. Each family is asked to attend First Steps,
the Church Pastoral Aid Society Baptism Preparation Course. This outlines clearly the responsibility of
Baptism and the vows that are made. I am supported in this ministry by Martin East, Arnold Bennett and
Julie and Lisa in the Church Office and those who assist with welcome. One of the interesting
observations I make is that as we make greater contact with people through Bumps and Babies, Messy
Church and All Age Services so requests for Baptism increase. The key challenge before us is to link
preparation with ALPHA and incorporate more fully into the regular worshipping life of St. John’s.

Marriage Prep
“As man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.”
Genesis 2:24
During this year there have been 6 Weddings at St. Johns. A noticeable trend is enquiries from people
living outside of the Parish and Benefice. Some of these have legitimate connections with St. John’s and
some gain this through attendance over a six month period. A Marriage Preparation Day was held in
2015. Patrick and Barbara Neely led a session on Conflict, Tony and Angela Bushell on Finances, Carl and
Becky Gardner and Ken and June Shorey on family. Sue and I spoke about love and communication. The
day centred around a superb meal, and concluded with a run through the Marriage Service. Warm
thanks to all involved.

Pastoral Care “I was hungry and you fed me, I was thirsty and you gave me a drink,
I was homeless and you gave me a room, I was shivering and you gave me clothes, I was sick and you stopped to visit, I was in prison and you came to me.”
Matthew 25:35-40 The Pastoral Care team seeks to be word-based and spirit-led in every pastoral issue. Below is a diagram on how we are meeting the needs of those seeking help from the pastoral team, both on a Sunday and during the week.
Additional projects this year were the Christmas hampers, which we initiated in partnership with the parish Council; Holiday at Home lunch with the Rock Choir; and supporting the Care Group in the Forget me Not Café. I am so thankful for the work of our Life Groups and for small groups such as Revive and Naomi’s Watch who ‘set the lonely in families’ (Psalm 68:6). We are looking for more men to be involved with visiting/befriending so please come and talk to one of us if you are interested. We would like to use this opportunity to promote our pastoral prayer ministry. We have a dedicated team who offer deeper prayer ministry than we can offer on a Sunday and have learnt God is still in the business of healing! Please contact Carolyn Marshall if you would like to learn more.
Becky Gardner
Prayer Ministry
“Never stop praying” 1 Thessalonians 5:17
Prayer Ministry is available at the 09.00 and 10.30am services at St. John’s either during or at the end of each service. On a practical note, changes to safeguarding has meant that all who serve on prayer ministry now need to undertake safeguarding and prayer ministry training. A record is required to be held by the church and further dates to train will be available during the year. We hope that more folk will take the opportunity to receive prayer for refreshment, healing (emotional and physical) and/or guidance and be encouraged to come forward at services. God has done some great work through prayer ministry this year. Thanks to all on team.

Naomi’s Watch
“How precious is your unfailing love ... We find shelter in the shadow of your wings.”
Psalm 36:7 We at Naomi's Watch welcome women who live alone. We like to emphasise the importance of relationships within the group and the wider community and we value the friendships in which we all share. Our meetings incorporate worship, prayer and either a Bible Study or a visiting speaker. During this last year we have been privileged to hear from David and Sue Hurst, Colin and Johni van Orten and Claire Parker who have spoken about their lives and ministries. We like to support Mags in her challenging work at the Vine Centre in Aldershot and, at Christmas, we assisted Becky with the Parish Hampers. It has been good for us to gain first-hand information about the desperate needs of others in our community and, in turn, to thank God for our own daily Blessings.

Discipleship – Living the Mission of Jesus
“Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I’ll be with you as you do this, day after day, right up to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28: 19-20 Our current culture of discipleship is expressed in both the traditional and contemporary streams where most members of St. John’s attend a Sunday service and a mid-week Life Group. Life Groups serve the purpose of discipleship, as we currently understand that to mean bible study, worship, pastoral support, friendship and prayer. Most Life Groups are aligned to the current strategy, and all the Life Group Leaders are invited to gather together once a term, to worship, pray and receive input and encouragement for their ministry. Alpha runs twice a year, and Post-Alpha launched in January 2016. Flourish and Men’s ministry are also identified as discipleship pathways, as is Revive, School of Theology, Going Deeper and Connect Groups (previously Triplets). Throughout this year, Life Groups have been invited to study the following: Emotionally Healthy Church, Peter Scazzero; What you need to know about Defending your Faith, Max Anders and Community, Scott Nelson. The intention being that we structure the academic year of study around IN-UP-OUT, as per the wider church vision. The vision for 2016/2017 is to cultivate a discipleship culture, where missional living is our default setting. The underlying principle for the way forward across all areas of discipleship is that we focus on being gathered in community (for worship, accountability, spiritual growth & formation) and scattered in the world, amongst our neighbours, colleagues, running clubs and so on, being actively compassionate towards all and praying for the Kingdom of God to come.
Lou Shorey
Men’s Ministry
“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.”
1 Corinthians 16:13-14
Our purpose is for both personal spiritual growth for every man through teaching and discipleship, and
numerical growth through missional engagement with the community through events that deepen
relationships and make church more accessible.
Our objectives map directly onto the church’s Up-In-Out model:
Up: ‘Daring to Grow’ provides discipleship and teaching specifically tailored to develop men.
In: ‘Serving to Love’ encourages the men to be active in the church life by serving on teams.
Out: ‘Engaging to Save’ creates opportunities to draw non-Christian friends into the life of the
church and to God.
Our vision is to be a 50-50 men/women church with engaged, active, growing and missionally minded
men and women.
48
FY15/16 Summary
Daring to Grow: Fortnightly teaching emails have focused on our three objectives and how they play
against our roles as husband, father, friend, worker and son of God. Monthly mid-week Lunch & Learn
sessions held through 2015 gave opportunity to discuss what had been emailed - these will be restarting
in May. Men’s Breakfasts have been well attended with Radio 4 presenter, Brian Draper, speaking in
May, and Matt Pitcher and I speaking in January on the new vision and objectives. A small group
attended the New Wine Men’s day in November and returned motivated to grow St. John’s attendance
next year. Finally, occasional Pub Nights have benefited the relationships between the men at St. John’s.
Serving to Love: One of the outcomes from the vision breakfast in January was that 30 men signed up to
serve across the church. In total, 54 new commitments to serve were made demonstrating the
commitment the men have for the gospel and the Church. Training has been completed for most, so this
is starting to benefit the church already.
Engaging to Save: A big focus this year has been on engaging with our community, mainly through the
Rugby World Cup and Six Nations tournaments. Between 110 and 140 people attended each of the five
big screen events in September, October and March. The St. John’s Men’s team worked with the Hartley
Wintney Parish Council and a few men from the community to put on these events, three hosted in
Church Centre and two at the Victoria Hall. The events built good relationships with the Parish Council
and the community by demonstrating capability, care and partnership. They also raised over £1,800 for
two charities.
Simon Shorey
Women’s Ministry “As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and FLOURISH, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”
Isaiah 55:10-11 Having been handed the baton from June Shorey I would like to thank her for all the hard work and dedication that she has shown to the women of this Church over the past few years. We had a relaunch in November based around Mark 14:3-9, which included perfume making, Canapes and Prosecco! Many women and young girls came to hear the vision for the next season in women’s ministries at St. Johns and it was a good time to reconnect and be together while having fun. IMPACT is a new Podcast for women which was launched in February, in the hope that we can connect with those ladies who find it harder to gather together. We are hoping that this will be a resource that we can recommend to our non-Christian friends too with a real emphasis on relationship and community. A weekend away is booked at Ffald y Brenin for November and we have Nicola Neal coming from Revelation Life to share her wisdom with us and equip us for life on the frontline. There are lots of initiatives in the pot which will all lead to evangelistic opportunities with those we have relationship with. Exciting times lay ahead, let’s see what God has for us.

Youth Ministry – Love Live Share
“This is how much God loved the world: He gave his son, his one and only Son. And this is why: So that no one need to be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and everlasting life.
God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again.”
John 3:16-18 23 of the young people from St. John’s have just returned from our first ‘altogether’ weekend away in Swindon. In the past we have gone annually as separate ‘younger’ and ‘older’ groups but enjoyed all being together as one. This was a success in many ways and feedback says it is the way to continue every year as one group rather than two. Over the weekend we had sessions with band led worship, talks based on the gospel of John to teach us more about Jesus, meals together and an afternoon of fun including an inflatable bungee run. God met with the group in wonderful ways as Jay put it in a tweet;
“Such a good day at St. John’s youth weekend. So good to see God meeting with his children in worship & ministry.”
We had all of the adult leaders from both ‘Younger Youth’ and ‘Older Youth’ making a fantastic team of volunteers including Jay Norris, Carl & Becky Gardner, Chris Lawrence, Ali Bourne, Carolyn Jamieson and Louisa Bunting, making it another successful weekend away! The regular Sunday discipleship groups continue to be moving with what God is doing. The ‘Older Youth’ format regularly involves social time, worship, teaching and ministry. This last year we have had a variety of speakers come in as well as the regular leaders and looked through various parables during the Spring, finding our identity in God last Summer and the youth vision of ‘Love Jesus, Live for Jesus and Share Jesus’ in the Autumn term. Overall we have focused on leaving room for God to work and have put a real value on worship which we will continue on in. We have also used ‘Open Doors Youth’ resources to pray for the persecuted church regularly. The socials for the youth to have space to invite friends along to are no longer monthly but we have been exploring new ideas such as an open mic night we recently enjoyed at the end of half term where we had 10 new youth join us for the night. We have also been to a few of the Soul Survivor Saturday celebrations in Watford. This age group usually go to Soul Survivor (week C is 19th – 23rd August) each summer but it has been tricky to work out with Uganda also happening for the same group this summer. I am currently praying, and discussing various options as there are around 18 youth who are very keen to go, even with Uganda! The younger youth group has remained fairly small in number with around 10 each week and is still fairly girl heavy. However, it has been a lovely group to see grow in friendship amongst young people in various school years from 7-9 and at a number of different schools. We enjoy breakfast from 10am as they trickle in, often with non-church friends who have slept over and have been invited along. There is a great team including a few of the ‘Older Youth’ who have been instrumental in the spiritual growth of the group not only as role models bit also offering great leading and teaching. Maddie Sherlock and I still go to the Victoria Halls each school holiday to run the tuck shop for the youth film showings. It is great to support the local council in this way and be building those links for partnership.

The 2016 Youth Uganda trip is booked in from Thursday 28th July – Thursday 11th August. We have a total of 19 youth and 6 leaders going including Duncan & Helen Sherlock, James & Jenny McMullen, myself & Jay Norris. We have a group 24 hours away coming up in May to prepare together and are hoping to do a BBQ after a Sunday service a couple of weeks after we return to share about the trip. When we are out there we will be running a holiday Bible club for children at ‘Duhaga Boys’ school, attending church, visiting various projects, and a real treat of a little safari. Overall, the vision is to help young people to Love Jesus, Live for Jesus and Share Jesus. Over the last few years I have focused on building the foundations & rhythm of discipleship, growing the young people within the church and the whole area of discipleship. As we look ahead to the next few years the focus on those who are ‘detached’ from the church needs to be balanced out alongside discipleship so that wherever young people are along the journey from ‘detached’ to ‘disciple’, they can find a place here to help them move closer to God-step by step.

Children
“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying “this is the way;
walk in it.” Isaiah 30:21
It’s been another busy year for the St. Johns Kids Work. In Blaze we have been learning how we can be disciples in all our aspects of our lives especially at school. At Christmas we explored the Christmas story using the Star Wars movies talking about Jesus is our only hope finishing off with an amazing nativity service. It has been a privilege to see the children grow in their relationship with God and with each other. Sparks have been learning about what God gives us, and who Jesus is as well as well as the Christmas and Easter stories. The Sparks team work exceptionally hard at creating a safe environment where the children can learn, play and have fun and parents can feel confident leaving their children in good hands. None of the children’s work can happen without a fantastic volunteer team whose dedication and enthusiasm is infectious so a big thank you to everyone who serves on the children’s team. In 2016 we will be looking to encourage the Blaze children to seek and develop their gifting and calling with a particular emphasis on worship and discipleship. We will also be looking at how we support and empower families with growing faith at home. We will also be looking out for opportunities to engage with the schools and wider community. Claire Parker
Holiday Club “Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Saviour, and my hope is in you all day long”.
Psalm 25:5
Summer Club returned in August with a Jungle Safari theme. 54 children from across the community explored the Nature of God learning how God is our Creator, Provider, Protector, Saviour and King. We had an amazing team of volunteers with special credit to the youth, the group leaders and the worship team for all their energy and enthusiasm. We’ve already started planning this year’s Summer Club when we will be diving into a Deep Sea Discovery. We’ll be setting sail from 30th August – 2nd September so if you want to come and join us for an amazing week of God, mess and mayhem please sign up to volunteer. Claire Parker

Messy Church
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”.
Matthew 28:19-20 Messy Church is a different way of doing church aimed people of all ages where families can come and create activities, celebrate and worship together and share a meal. We’ve had an exciting year in St. John’s Messy Church. The highlight being our first Messy Baptism in June where Kieran, Rhys and Amelia-Rose Simm were all baptised in a unique and messy way……
We were also pleased to part be part of the Apple day event at the community orchard in the autumn. We’ve got a new team of volunteers helping out this year and we’re looking forward to seeing what God is going to do!

Welcome “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.”
John 15:12 With St. John’s Church Centre open 7 days a week, it is a huge priority to ensure that every person who walks through the door feels very welcome. We are very grateful to all those who have volunteered in the coffee shop and on the weekday and Sunday welcome teams over the last year; thank you for your warm welcome and broad smiles as we enter the Church Centre, for the aroma of coffee and the pleasant chatter which makes the Centre feel welcoming every morning of the week. While these are the obvious people to thank for their work with welcome, we recognise that every one of us has a very important part to play. Welcoming people to the church family is down to us in everything we do, both in the Church buildings and outside, whether we are meeting together to worship, enjoying fellowship and coffee after the service, or gathering together for any other St. John’s activity. Thank you to all who really make an effort to welcome newcomers. We want to encourage everyone to be outward looking, to be bold and introduce ourselves to anyone we think may be new to St. John’s (it doesn’t matter if they aren’t!), to make friends with people outside our comfortable established groups. This is part of our individual discipleship as we learn to step out of our comfort zone. However, we don’t want our welcome to stop at introductions, we want everyone to know that they are very welcome in the St. John’s family and the wider church family, to encourage them to get involved on a regular basis in worship services and other activities which deepen their faith and provide fellowship. That is down to each one of us…..let’s keep our eyes looking outwards and encourage each other. Over the next year we aim to establish a regular (e.g. quarterly or termly) welcome lunch or afternoon tea for newcomers. Please let us know if you would like to get involved.

Coffee Shop
Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes
in me shall never thirst. John 6:35 (ESV)
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31 ESV
The Coffee Shop is a very important part of Church life. Now open seven days a week and most of the
holidays, although on a reduced hours basis. This has meant that we have maintained our customers and
also increased our takings.
Thanks to the vision of Matt Hickman and June Shorey the Coffee Shop now opens on Saturdays serving
bacon rolls. This attracts a wide range of visitors that we don't always see in the week and is proving to be
popular. We are grateful to Matt for his hard work and commitment to this vision, particularly in the
early months before a kitchen cooking team was established. We are so pleased that with the help of
Men's Ministry, growing numbers of male volunteers have joined Matt in the kitchen. Our Saturday team
rota is running well, with 4 teams each serving once a month.
54
Sunday is also thriving with new faces being trained, enabling us to open up after every service.
Our bakers keep us supplied with wonderful homemade cakes, some regulars and some specialty bakes.
Thank you.
The Coffee Shop continues to make a significant contribution to the church funds.
None of this would be possible without the commitment of our amazing volunteers. We are always in
need of new volunteers so would welcome you to come and join us. We don't just make coffee we are
there to talk, offer friendship and welcome people into the Church Centre."
Alpha
“In your hearts honour Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defence to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect”
1 Peter 3:15 ALPHA is a 10 week course which provides an opportunity to explore and question the meaning of life and the Christian Faith. We are thankful to God that many people at St. John’s have come to faith, or gone deeper in their faith, through the ALPHA course. Each session starts with a meal together and is then followed by a talk and discussion in small groups. ALPHA is a course which God has been using all over the world and during the last 30 years over 29 million people have attended ALPHA. Since the last APCM there have been two courses run at St. John’s, the first in the evenings during the Autumn Term of 2015 and the second during the day during the Spring of 2016 specifically for seniors. Many thanks to all those who so generously and willingly gave of their time and energy to enable these courses to take place. The food for each of the Alpha evenings in the Autumn of 2015 was provided and served by a different Life Group each week. We are very grateful to the Life Group’s for serving in this way and the participants were overwhelmed by the love and generosity shown to them. Attendance at an ALPHA course has made a big difference in the lives of many and we want to see this continue by offering a rolling programme of courses at St. John’s. If you know anyone who might be interested in trying ALPHA, please invite them to join us for supper on Thursday 14th April at 7.30pm in the Church Centre where we will explain all about the course and some recent participants will share their experience. Please let the church office know how many are coming for catering purposes. Also start thinking about who you will invite to ALPHA in September. If you have never attended ALPHA, please do come along yourself, even if you have been in the church for many years. It is a fantastic opportunity to review the basics of your faith and to deepen friendships with others within the church. Serving on ALPHA is a great blessing and I would love to hear from anyone who would be interested in getting involved in future courses; many hands are needed for the setting up, catering, small group leading, etc.

Community
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone
who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.”
Romans 1:16
Over the last year we have had a lot of fun taking the church out to our community. The Baby Jesus Rocks
campaign at Christmas, brilliantly spearheaded by Andie Painter and Jess Arthur, with participation from
many church members, had the whole village looking for “Jesus” in the run up to Christmas, encouraged
by active discussion and comment on social media as children searched for the hand-painted pebbles
hidden around the village. Attendance at the Nativity Service reached a record level when children from
the community brought their Baby Jesus pebble to the Nativity Service. We plan to do this again next
year and will encourage other churches to join in, increasing the chances of media attention for Jesus
during the Christmas season. The Baby Jesus Rocks event was launched at our pop-up coffee shop in the
High Street at the Hartley Wintney Christmas Market at the beginning of December. Children hunted for
the other characters from the nativity story in the High Street shops and could find all except Baby
Jesus….and the hunt commenced.
Following this success, the team have organised an Easter PEG hunt across Hartley Wintney during the
week before Easter with specially crafted wooden PEGs being hidden around the village each day,
including an egg-shaped invitation to our main worship service on Easter Day and references to our
website for more information about other events at Easter. At the Easter service PEGs will be swapped
for EGGs (Cadbury’s Cream variety). Again this has been very well received in the community and is
creating lots of chatter on Facebook and Twitter as I write.
Other community involvement during the year has included participation in the Village Festival in June
and the Christmas market in December, carol singing and distributing mince pies/chocolates/invitations
to Christmas services at St Mary’s Park, and a Christmas lunch for Seniors. Around 75 Seniors enjoyed a
full Christmas lunch of Turkey and trimmings followed by an entertaining and thought-provoking post
lunch talk by Martin East entitled “Why Christmas?” and an interview with a recent guest on ALPHA.
The aim of these events is to introduce the community to Jesus, to provide an opportunity to share with
them what He has done for us and to love them as he loves us. Through this process we hope to have an
opportunity to share with them about the activities for children, youth and adults at St. Johns and to
invite people to ALPHA where they can explore for themselves the Christian faith. Many thanks to all who
have contributed to all of these events to make Jesus known in our community.

Missions “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem,
and in all Judea, and Samaria and to the ends of the earth.”
Acts 1:8
The Church family was stimulated a year ago by the presentation from Paul Thaxter (Diocesan Mission
Advisor) on ‘Changing Mission in a Changing World’. He emphasised the 5 Marks of Mission and the
importance of achieving a balance in the Local-Global, Sending-Receiving mix. Much of our support and
energy had been devoted in the past to ‘the ends of the earth’ with some neglect of proclaiming the
Gospel locally where it should start (i.e. ‘Jerusalem’).
Therefore 2015 has been occupied with ‘Mission Review’. After careful & prayerful assessment by the
PCC, 3 Core Partners were identified: Sittwe Diocese, Myanmar; B-K Diocese & Help Hoima, Uganda; and
The Vine Day Centre, Aldershot. Each Partner will have one or more contacts at St. John’s to act as links
sharing news both ends, to help in our prayer support, to be involved in visiting and hospitality, and to
advise in financial giving.
The PCC and Treasurer, in co-operation with the Missions Support Group (MSG), which replaces the
Missions Committee, have authorised 15% of Church income to be allocated between each of the 3 Core
Partners, Local Mission, the group of External Partners (under review) with a reserve for missionaries
going out from St. Johns and also for the Relief Fund (i.e. urgent /disaster needs through Tear Fund and
Open Doors).
The MSG plans to hold a regular open meeting to share news and pray for Partners and Projects.

Bumps and Babies “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength …” Philip 4:13
“Serve one another in love …” Gal 5:13
Team:- Rosemary Arden-White, Alison Callaway, Sue Cooper, Sylvia Dilley, Penny Ewbank, Mary Greenwood, Dorothy Harvey, Sue Hurst, Pauline Jessett, Colette Jones, Annette Kelly, Betty Marshall, Claire Parker, Glenda Rumley, Sarah Stickland, Janet Upward, Johni van Orton. Patrick & Barbara Neely also provide a wonderful welcome at the foyer door. We also greatly value the regular encouragement and support offered by Becky Gardner, June Shorey and Mark Tanner, plus additional husbands (Mark & David)/friends (Brian & Marie) who have helped regularly or when we have been short of people to help or set up. We are so privileged to be part of a wonderful team called by God to serve the young families in our village. We have also welcomed this year some of our team who do not worship at St. John’s to work alongside us, which we feel is vital for the outreach of St. John’s. To spread our love it is important to combine community and church and we have taken that step with our team to great effect. We are really pleased that our team has grown to accommodate our ever-growing numbers and contact with the surgery and the Children’s Centre has continued to be of great value.
57
80+ children and 70+ adults have been known to arrive on Mondays to find friendship, love and support with our team and each other. We also pray that the presence of our loving God, the atmosphere created and welcome provided encourage those who attend to feel that St. John’s is offering something very special. We were very honoured to receive the British Legion Cup for service to the community, presented at the Parish Council Chairman’s Reception! Who knows where God will lead us next but we are ready!

Positive Parenting
A refusal to correct is a refusal to love; love your children by disciplining them.
Proverbs 13:24 – MSG
We now have a team of seven trained and licensed facilitators who are able to run Positive Parenting and
Care for the Family courses on behalf of St. John’s – Sue Cooper, Becky Gardner, Janet Hunter, David
Lello, Claire Parker, June Shorey and myself. This means we can now provide regular courses for parents
of children in the early years, the primary years and the teenage years with up to 30 parents attending
each course. Janet Hunter has done additional training to run courses for parents of children with special
needs and we hope soon to add these to our programme at St. John’s. We need one or two more men to
become trained facilitators so that we can run more courses for dads.
With the cutbacks in public services, most local parenting support has evaporated. The church and
charity sectors have a crucial role to play in supporting and encouraging parents and families and we’re
finding an increasing number of parents being referred to our courses by statutory services. Through
building relationships, the courses provide a way into church life and, for some now worshipping at St.
John’s, they have has been a stepping stone to faith.

Radio Hartley Wintney 2015 Broadcast Radio Hartley Wintney returned to air in June 2015 with the usual mix of music, interviews, news, Thought casts (5 minute mini sermons) and live services. A team of around 40 helped to ensure that our broadcast was heard across the village and parts of Hook, Elvetham Heath and Fleet. Finance Thanks to advertising income and £272 raised at the Village Festival by the Radio Hartley Wintney Coconut Shy the radio finances were slightly healthier than those in previous years. When the accounts are finalised it is expected that the station will have covered approx. 65% of its costs in 2015.
58
Other News Staffing Following the 2015 broadcast both myself and Robert Baker decided to step down from managing the station. The station team and listeners owe much to Robert, who with Jim Rankin has done an amazing job getting Radio Hartley Wintney on-air and on the Internet. Without their technical skills our presence on the airwaves would have been considerably hampered. Their knowledge gave our station a professional sound that other small stations will strive for. My thanks go to both of them for their hard work, enthusiasm and support over many years. Bryan Webb 2015 also included the last broadcasts on Radio Hartley Wintney by Bryan Webb who was tragically killed in a car crash earlier this year. Bryan who had a passion for music and a knowledge to match produced some wonderful shows, he will be sadly missed. Future Plans Kelvin Fay has volunteered to take on the Station Manager’s role and is currently in discussion with Ofcom about a 2016 broadcast. At the time of writing this report he is experiencing problems agreeing a June broadcast as many Muslim Associations have already blocked out broadcast slots to coincide with Ramadan.

Churches Together
“May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me
and have loved them even as you love me.”
John 17:23
What is the purpose of Churches Together (CTHW)? Yet another Committee? These are certainly FAQs
that are heard. However, its importance is twofold: firstly, to share news among our Village Churches so
that we can pray and join in one another’s activities; secondly and more important, to plan joint outreach
activities so that the Community can see Christians of different persuasions spreading the Good News
with one voice (unity but not necessarily uniformity).
Two of the current outreach ventures include the Lent Lectures and the Good Friday Passion Play which
we have enjoyed for the last 3 years. The 2016 Passion Play, ‘The Good, the Bad and the Bible’, to be
acted by the Silhouette Theatre Company is family orientated with humorous sketches & puppet shows
all covering the events leading to the first Easter. It will be held indoors in St. John’s Church Centre Hall.
In previous years we have aimed to hold it on the Green to attract passers-by though the weather has
worked against this. Last year we moved the play indoors to everybody’s delight.
The 2016 Lent Lecture, in the Victoria Hall, was given by Peter Saunders, Surgeon, Author, Broadcaster
and CEO of the 5,000 strong Christian Medical Fellowship. The title was ‘Changing Culture? Changing
Ethics? – What is happening to our Christian Values? It was well received by over 100 present. Our
prayer is that those attending might be moved to consider the Christian Message afresh and be attracted
to an Alpha Course or perhaps more likely pre-Alpha. St. John’s is so important in encouraging Christians
of other denominations in our Village.

Mothers’ Union 2015 saw Mothers’ Union changes In Hartley Wintney. I had to resign after my one year as Branch Leader due to health and family reasons and we set up a new Branch Leadership of our six committee members for the coming year. There was the usual monthly Cathedral prayers at Winchester and here in Hartley Wintney we held our Wave of Prayer service. On Ash Wednesday Arnold Bennett came to conduct a special Communion service for us followed by a soup and bread lunch. Some of our excellent speakers in 2015 included Sue Tanner, Helen Sherlock, Martin East and Mags Mercer from the Vine. The 10th June was the Mothers’ Union worldwide overseas day at Wolvesley and 13th June was our Hartley Wintney Festival where we had our stall. 15th July we had a wonderful Garden Party at Shapley House and the 23rd saw the Families Day at RAF Odiham where MU supplied free tea and cake. Our work at the Hope Café continues, the growth there has been so miraculous. There has been the ongoing Away From It All holiday funded by MU, and three well attended fun filled days at South Wonston, Hedge End and Romsey.

Forget-me-not Café
“I will not forget you!”
Isaiah 49:15
Forget Me Not Café continues to thrive, (35-40 people attend each week!) with guests coming from a wide area, as it is a unique facility for those living with Dementia and their carers. Thanks to the generosity of St. John’s, we are able to offer a free service, with tea, coffee, homemade cakes provided and served by our many willing volunteers, who come from all sections of the village as well as from the Church.
It has been an amazing experience to see the friendships that have developed between the clients, a sure sign that one can live well with Dementia, and also to see the network of support that has been built up between the carers. Thank you to all our volunteers, without them, Forget Me Not would not exist.

Creation Care
The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; Psalm 24:1
St. John’s currently holds the Winchester Diocese Silver Environmental Award and the PCC has agreed to
work towards the next level.
The following updated initiative has been agreed by the PCC:
St. John’s Creation Care Initiative
...because creation speaks of the glory of God
Caring for God’s creation is integral to our faith. As a church, we want to be good stewards of all that God has given us and to set an example for the wider world. This initiative has been drawn up to support this intent and to give a greater profile to environmental issues generally within the church. We worship and witness by the way we live We believe
That creation speaks of the glory of God That caring for creation is part of our worship
We want to be good stewards in our relationship with creation We accept
that the earth’s ability to support life is being damaged as a result of climate change that within the church family there may be different views on this subject
Compassion for the poor, the earth and its creatures motivates us to live simply We acknowledge
that the industrialised world has contributed most to climate change the extent to which our personal lifestyles contribute to climate change that it is the poor of our world who are the first to suffer from the impact of global climate change that the injustice innate in climate change makes it of particular importance to Christians our obligation, under God, to care for other creatures and their habitats
Concern for the earth is an essential part of our discipleship We recognise
concern for the earth and all that is in it is a responsibility of all Christian people and thus an essential part of the mission of Jesus and our discipleship
the earth and all life is a gift from God, created out of love, and our response must be to care for it It is our prayer that God’s will be done on earth
We repent of the part we have played in damaging creation and accept God’s generous and continuous forgiveness through Jesus Christ
We pray for the wisdom and strength to live in a way which minimises damage to God’s creation Ruth Jarman

Church Centre Bookings
“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others,
faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.”
1 Peter 4:10
2015 saw the Centre being reasonably well used by internal and external users and the majority of events went smoothly. Use of the Centre ranges from small meetings to Alpha courses, birthday parties, wedding and funeral receptions, parenting courses, bumps & babies, forget me not café, marriage courses and Pilates to name but a few.

New Wine – Summer Conference 2015 Over 100 of us camped at the New Wine Summer Conference in Shepton Mallet during August 2015. It is always an amazing experience, worshipping with thousands of other like-minded Christians, interspersed with social times of gathering together as a church to share what we had been hearing from God. Despite being a bit chilly and wet at times, our hearts were set on fire and we all felt built up and equipped by God. A big thank you to our village host, Jo Davis and her family who has looked after us so faithfully for 20 years!! Please speak to Claire or Graham Parker, who have very kindly offered to host us this year! We will be there again this year – WEEK TWO - https://www.new-wine.org/summer-16
