2 Canon Edward Pruen’s Report It is said that there are more volunteers serving through the Church of than any other organization in the country. Certainly it is true to say that the Benefice of Bentworth, Lasham, Medstead and Shalden runs entirely on the generosity, dedication and many kindnesses of volunteers. 2017 has seen new families and individuals being welcomed across all the four places of worship though Messy Church and Sunday worship. Some have joined us from beyond the immediate parish boundaries. You will often hear it said, “We are one congregation, with four places of worship”. In other words we are spoilt for choice! Whenever we travel to a church building, whichever one it might be, we are fully members of that church – never a visitor. We fully belong. If we were in the entertainment industry, perhaps a restaurant, a cinema, or a pub, we would almost immediately close if we only welcomed people who lived nearby. Likewise, as places of worship, we thrive when we welcome people from beyond our parish boundaries. They are often the life-blood of the churches. Three of our churchwardens, and both our LLMs, for example, live outside their respective parishes. In February we grew closer through our “Meet and Greet” evenings across the four churches. Here we learned about the “Old Stones”, the stories of the buildings, and the people of the past. (In 2018 we are meeting the people of today – the “Living Stones”). During Holy Week we then walked between the four churches – a time of deepening friendships. Also in February we changed the schedule of services. We introduced two new services, the monthly Benefice Service at Bentworth and an informal benefice service called “The 4X4” at Medstead. Undoubtedly the Benefice service has helped many of us to make new friends. The 4X4 was designed to attract new people, but instead it has mainly attracted faithful souls who already belong! Following prayer and discussion with representatives from all four churches at Old Alresford Place, we are introducing another change in service times in April 2018. This has become necessary for two reasons. In the past there were four ordained clergy living in the benefice, now there is just one. We have also tried to ensure that no two services take place at the same time. Those of you who like numbers, during the year there have been 8 baptisms, 10 weddings and 22 funerals. I have preached over 200 sermons, and driven over 2000 miles between the churches. I have attended 20 School Governor meetings, and chaired some 20 PCCs. I am grateful that Lasham and Bentworth PCCs have begun to meet together. Not only are we working more closely, we are working more efficiently. I am also delighted that Mrs. Sarah Rees has kindly taken on some of the administration for our Occasional Offices. The Benefice Hub

3 continues to be an outstanding resource, and I am pleased to share this as much as possible. We already support the Christian Blind Mission in this way. A personal highlight during the year was the ten days I spent in Israel Palestine with international singer songwriter Martyn Joseph and a team of volunteers from across the world. It was an extremely challenging visit. Meeting Palestinians who struggle to survive under Israeli occupation was a distressing and disturbing experience. I am enormously grateful to the astounding generosity of those of you who supported me in this trip. Some of my filming has been incorporated in a documentary that is shortly to be shown on TV in several countries around the world: “From Balfour to Banksy”. (See the website with the same title). Another highlight was the “Leading Your Church Into Growth” course that Ian Jurd and I attended in Derbyshire during November. The principles for growth are now being fed into all that we seek to do here. Perhaps a simple line to remember is that “churches that intend to grow, tend to grow”. Everything we do has to be undergirded with a desire to deepen our relationship with Christ and increase our numbers. There have been some weekends when we have welcomed over 500 people into the churches through weddings, baptisms and funerals, in addition to the regular Sunday services. This is remarkable, and an encouraging and wonderful example of how we are serving the wider community. Growth begins when we genuinely welcome new people into the heart of church life, making new friends and letting go so that others can share the reins. Looking to the future, Bentworth, Lasham and Medstead are considering ideas to reorder their church buildings to see how best to enable them to be used to the full. These are significant projects, which will require much prayer and work. We are also planning to authorise new worship leaders and pastoral carers. Thankyou for all those who have come forward to extend this ministry. I began this report by acknowledging the many kindnesses of those who enable the churches to thrive. And so an Annual Report is a good opportunity to say thank you. Amongst all of you reading this, I would like to thank Rev’d Robert Toogood and other clergy who have stepped in to help lead worship; our two Licenced Lay Ministers, Charlie Shaylor and Carol Fuller, who have been hardworking and faithful colleagues; Jill Hurley, who quietly takes communion to people in their homes; and all those on the Open the Book and Messy Church teams. We are all grateful to those of you who represent the church as School Governors, especially Jane Philips, Frances Parris, Wilma Hainsworth and Sarah Bankhead. Both of our Church Schools received “Outstanding” in their SIAMS inspections this past year, noting, “Christian values are at the heart of the schools and are continuously lived out". I especially want to thank our regular organists, Mike Ennever, Patrick Busby and Adrian Barnes. Adrian has recently stepped down after many years of playing for us. We are all enormously grateful to him for his faithful service. Thank you also

4 to our eight churchwardens, and our deputy churchwardens. They have all been outstanding in their support both for me personally and for the whole benefice. On behalf of us all, our thanks go to our PCC members, PCC Secretaries, hard working Treasurers, those who bank the money, and those who have tirelessly organised social events and fundraising occasions. Thank you also to our sacristans, servers, bell ringers, vergers, clock winders, magazine editors, cleaners, churchyard gardeners, flower arrangers, keepers of the website, and those who lock and unlock the church buildings - (a trying task on dark January evenings!) Finally, to those of you who have been good Christian neighbours, offering pastoral care, and to all who have faithfully worshipped our Living Lord in our services across the four churches, my prayer for you is that you will grow closer to God, and know that you are deeply loved. Churchwarden's Report After the upheaval of the Interregnum period 2017 saw a year of stability across the Benefice and particularly at St Mary’s Lasham. The year fell into the regular pattern and all the usual services and events continued but with the added impetus of Canon Ed’s guidance and leadership. With his guitar and voice a new dimension has been seen and heard. The statistics of attendance do not show anything too dramatic but overall numbers still show a small decline and we need to look at this in some detail to see if trends can be reversed. Having said that alternative offerings particularly in the form of Messy Church are showing a strong improvement in attendees with now some parents now actively joining in with leading craft.

5 We are experimenting with joint PCC meetings with Bentworth and so far, both November 2017 & January 2018 have worked out satisfactorily reducing the number of meetings for Canon Ed. What is clear however is that Canon Ed has had to adjust the number and timings of the Sunday Services. We have experimented with an initial version whereby the regular “old” pattern has been maintained but with now only 1 Officiating Priest as against the 3 that Revd Ben Flenley could call upon, this is not sustainable. We will be moving to a new rota from Easter 2018 which will enable Canon Ed to conduct all of the services and have a short time after each service to meet and talk with the congregation rather than rush around from Church to Church. We all worship as one “Church” but at 4 locations within the Benefice. We must be prepared to travel to the other churches, which are closer than going to Alton for the shopping!! The fabric of the Church remains very satisfactory and we have now improved the lighting in the Nave. The loop for the sound system will be repaired very shortly, but after discussions with the Diocese it is unlikely that we will install a projector and screen. Re-ordering of the Church remains a hot topic – whether an extension is feasible still needs to be clarified. The PCC are fully supportive of the provision of toilets/kitchen and whilst this would be of benefit during services, this cannot be justified on that basis alone. The intention therefore, is to create a village amenity and as such it really rests with the Village Committee who need to come forward with fully-costed proposals so that this can then be discussed with the Diocese. The PCC are still also considering a more modest re-ordering to make the Chancel more suitable for the concerts currently held. Of major concern though is the on-going support to the Church. With both Churchwardens retiring at this forthcoming APCM there is an urgent need to replace them. In addition, we have another 2 members of the PCC retiring and therefore our PCC will fall well below the numbers needed. Unless this situation can be turned around then the future governance of St Mary’s could be in jeopardy. Whilst vacancies are seen at times clearly the Diocese will not allow this to continue for any length of time. In addition, decisions could need to be made without the potential input of the village, a situation that I am sure nobody wants. So, what’s to be done? VOLUNTEER! We need your help to enable St Mary’s Lasham to continue to be a vibrant joyful church. Let’s have not only the building set at the heart of the village but the Church in everyone’s heart!!

6 It also goes without saying that we rely upon a small band of willing volunteers who help to keep the church open and ready for services. This band of volunteers include: - the mowing team capably led by Maurice who maintain the churchyard in pristine condition coupled with the annual churchyard tidy team the cleaning team organised by Maggie including the annual church cleaning crew the “flower ladies” led by Sue who make the church so beautiful on the special occasions the Sidesmen who so capably ensure the smooth running of services the Readers who provide such variety during the services the small rota who provide coffee, biscuits, and other goodies every service and certainly not least Roger who tirelessly opens and locks the church daily. Thank you all so much Sue Jamieson & Steve Clarke - Retiring Churchwardens Buildings Committee The Churchwardens and the Treasurer oversee the fabric of the Church building, delegating works to the committee of Mr Michael Del Mar, Mr Maurice Goor and Mr Stuart McCandlish. It has met on an "as needs" basis during the year.

Electoral Roll Report - Frances Parris Currently there are 64 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll, of whom 14 reside outside the parish.

Sunday School Report - Cate Baynton Sunday School has been put on hold as a regular monthly meeting because there is insufficient demand to make it viable. We are intending to hold gatherings on "high days and holidays". We did get together at Christmas to decorate our table at the back of the church. We purchased a child friendly nativity crib and made some sparkly angels to fly around it. The event was completed with a reading of the Christmas story and sharing delicious chocolate brownies. We hope to next meet in Church on March 31st to prepare the Easter garden.

Village Coffee Mornings - Millie Shaylor The Coffee Mornings continued to flourish throughout the year and were normally well attended. Many thanks to all the hosts and hostesses at the

7 different venues throughout the village. Some villagers have now moved or are unable to host, so new volunteers would be most welcome.

Report on the work of the Deanery committee for Mission and Karamoja – Charlie Shaylor This report is for the Annual General Meetings of the four Parochial Church Councils in the Benefice. Over the last year there have been some notable changes and developments both here in Alton regarding the committee, and in Karamoja. Here in our deanery, Elizabeth Dain the long standing treasurer of the Committee for Mission has retired after fifteen years of dedicated service. During her time the Deanery commitment to Karamoja has developed and deepened and become more broadly based across the Benefices. This has been reflected in a commensurate increase in financial support for Karamoja which has been managed with a considerable degree of patience and tact by Elizabeth. We are grateful to her for her dedication and hard work and wish her well in her retirement. Her role has been taken up by Elspeth Mackeggie – Gurney of the Parish of the Resurrection. The Rev. Howard Wright has completed his time as Area Dean although continues as the Rector of The Church of the Good Shepherd. He is a great supporter of Karamoja. He has been replaced by the Rev Brian Pritchard as Area Dean and chair of the Deanery Committee. He lives in and is a recently retired cleric. He has experience of Africa. The need for financial support in Karamoja is always pressing, and comes on many fronts. The core aims of the committee are centred on Mission and in supporting the growth of the Church in both Karamoja Diocese and the diocese of North Karamoja. Central to our support is the Diocesan training Centre at Lotome and the sponsorship. The Committee is very grateful to all four Parishes in the Benefice for their continued sponsorship of students to study to be Lay Ministers at the D.T.C. For Bentworth, Lasham and Shalden who combine to sponsor one student between them our current student Mark Alinger completes his course this term. Our Parishes will need to decide on whether to support a further student or not. As we know from previous reports from the Committee the D.T.C. is a very effective agent for growth of the Church in Karamoja, as recently affirmed by two separate visitors to the Centre from current and former Missionaries to Karamoja. Our students in the past have done well, and two have gone on to train for ordination. The committee hopes we will continue to support the D.T.C. Should we do so our Parishes will need to commit to their annual contribution of £250. For one of our three P.C.Cs this is a challenge that has proved too much for their current financial situation. The short fall was made up from General funds. For St. Andrews Medstead their student Margaret Akullo

8 left after a year. Her bursary was transferred to one of the 2017/19 students. They will also need to decide on whether to sponsor another student or not. The D.T.C. has seen changes too. The principal Emmanuel Logit has been moved to another position and replaced by Joseph Aleper. Joseph has already written to thank us for our support. Emmanuel has worked under very challenging conditions and has done a very creditable job over a number of years He has developed the courses run by the D.T.C. and has been responsible for a growth in output of students. We wish both Emmanuel and Joseph well as they take up their new callings. The Committee also supports Mission in sponsoring the very effective and popular Youth camps that are run in both the Karamoja Diocese and in North Karamoja In the Karamoja diocese these have recently been run by Raymond Bukenya who has now moved to Kampala. He will be missed. The Youth work will continue under Timothy Koriang who was trained by Raymond. Money for this and for famine relief comes from the general fund. The committee as a matter of some urgency are trying to organise a trip for at least two members to visit Karamoja. This has been made increasingly difficult as major airlines do not now land at Entebbe. Visitors to Uganda have to fly to Kenya and make their way to their destinations in Uganda from there which is time consuming and expensive. However the committee will persevere. At the A.G.M. of the Deanery committee the long serving chairperson of the committee for Mission Kennett Westmacott was re-elected for another year. Kennett has visited Karamoja many times and is willing to talk to Parishes about Karamoja and the way we give them support. A visit to preach/talk on Karamoja can be arranged through Canon Ed Pruen. There have been some reports of rain in recent months in Karamoja. However crops have been severely affected by army worm, (caterpillars) blown in on prevailing winds. Recent developments in agricultural methods have helped in the efforts to move towards food security but in Karamoja the balance between sufficient, subsistence and insufficient continues to be a delicate one.

Open the Book – Cathy Dumelow Members of the church community, by kind invitation of the headteachers, deliver the Open the Book initiative to the two Benefice primary schools. Bible stories are acted out by the adults with enthusiastic help from the children and this enables young people to hear stories from the Old and New Testament alongside a time for quiet reflection and the opportunity to join together in a prayer. The scheme is run under the auspices of the Bible Society and uses their prepared materials with the story text taken from the Lion Storyteller Bible. At St Mary’s Bentworth the team visit the school each week whilst at Medstead this is 9 half termly. Our Benefice scheme is led by Mr Charlie Shaylor LLM, and all storytellers have DBS clearance, Guidelines for Conduct and Role descriptors; additionally, Safeguarding training is held annually. Moreover, the feedback from staff and pupils has been very positive: “It’s fun, helpful and interesting and we are lucky to have it.” “It helps me memorise my RE so then I can link it to my learning.” “It helps me understand the stories of God through acting and singing.” “All of the grown-ups are very kind and lively and it makes Wednesday afternoon something to look forward to.” “OTB Is a very accessible way for all pupils to engage with stories from the Bible, and it complements our RE teaching whilst reinforcing our School Values.” Mrs Moore, St Mary’s Bentworth. Messy Church Annual Report 2017 -18 – Charlie Shaylor There were eleven Messy Church Meeting in 2017. Messy does not meet in August. Some parents have expressed disappointment at this in the past. The average attendance was 21 children, adults 13 Team 15 with a total average of 49. The average contributions was £52. Messy continues to attract new families. Our clientele has grown younger over the course of 2017. Several families bring infants. Families come from a wide catchment area, which can include Arlesford, , Lasham, Bentworth, Basingstoke, Shalden, Medstead, Beech and Fourmarks. There are now several families who are regular and two families have started to contribute as team members. We currently attract fewer adult attenders coming without children than we have in the past, a faithful few attend from time to time. Some families attend both Messy and other services for example the Lasham Family Service but these are the exception. Quite a good proportion of children attend St.Mary’s Church Bentworth. For these children the combination of School worship, St. Mary’s worships four to five times a year in the Church in addition to the regular school assemblies, Open the Book and Messy Church means they are getting a good grounding in the Christian Faith. In recent Messy Meetings we have had a number of new Medstead families. The subject matter for the Benefice Messy comes from the Messy magazine published by the B.R.F. which gives helpful suggestions for crafts and worship, as well as news from the ever-growing network of Churches doing Messy that is now global. The themes are wide-ranging and sometimes challenging. Over 2017 our Messy meetings have covered themes covering a range of topics like Listening to God, Hidden Treasure, Forgiveness, Faith and Peace and comfort. The Messy Team works in close cooperation with the school and we are grateful to them for their encouragement and support. The Hall at St. Mary’s Bentworth is a good venue. 10 We are grateful to our team for their dedication and hard work. Running Messy requires a large team as not everyone can attend each month, also the nature of Messy means the team has to be of a certain size in order to deliver effectively. With good cover there are opportunities for pastoral care, with a small team that is stretched these are less and the risk factor of some mishap is greater. One is ever conscious that although parents do attend and are responsible for their children we are at the end of the day responsible to all for their safety and wellbeing. Our clientele can include a number of vulnerable children. It also requires a wide range of skills, there is a planning team, an admin team, who are responsible to the P.C.Cs for delivering a safe and effective Messy Church, a craft team which includes those who put together the crafts as well as those who deliver them, a worship or celebration team and a catering team which involves some who would not choose to attend Messy but who contribute none the less by helping with the catering and delivering on the day. Others who would not attend support Messy by collecting junk material for our craft. Shalden Church has started to organise this among their congregation as a contribution to our efforts. The age range of the team which is drawn from across the Benefice is wide and includes two youngsters, one of whom operates the computer for the worship, as well as many in their seventh decade and one in their eighth. Welcome challenges ahead include Canon Ed’s aim to run Messy Church at Medstead Fete, more daunting but equally pressing is growing and rejuvenating our team for the future, and adapting to the ever changing needs and nature of our clientele. We have the issue of Data Protection to take into account and to plan for. We are grateful to the Parishes for their support with finances, for their encouragement and their prayers. Shalden and Lasham have paid their annual contribution which is made in conjunction with the Annual General Meetings, as is the one for Karamoja. We endeavour to keep the Parishes well informed of our doings through the circulation of the minutes of the Planning Meetings. They and the church congregations can also keep up with Messy by reading the magazine, the Villager. The Villager The Villager continues monthly, and 580 copies are printed, which are free to all parishioners, being funded largely by the advertisers and the many donations from those living within the Benefice. New advertisers are always welcome, particularly so this year as we have noticed a reduction in the volume of advertisers. Donations of any size are also gladly received and both will ensure we can maintain our free magazine. It provides information about the Benefice – church, clubs, charity events and activities within our parishes, and surrounding area. The Team who maintain it

11 do so voluntarily, as do the vital deliverers, who make sure each house in Bentworth, Lasham and Shalden receive a copy, with 75 being available in Medstead, and a few extra in our churches. Without our volunteers the magazine would not continue, and more help, especially with editing, would be much appreciated. Safeguarding The PCC of Lasham takes seriously its responsibility for the Safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults and has appointed Mrs Jean Osgood as its Safeguarding Officer. The PCC has formally adopted the Safeguarding Policy of the Winchester Diocese and has a copy available for inspection inside the church. Additionally, safeguarding information is displayed in the church porch. Both Churchwardens have undertaken the CO online training as they are finishing in April. The other PCC members are in the process of completing the same online training. All volunteers with positions of responsibility in the parish have received DBS Clearance: the leaders of Messy Church, all Open the Book storytellers at both Medstead and Bentworth schools and both LLMs. All those involved in Messy Church and Open the Book have received specific Role Descriptions and Safeguarding guidelines and undertake annual Safeguarding training. Other volunteers, eg flower arrangers, mowers, Guild of Martha members, key holders, have been given Safeguarding information and Lone Worker Guidelines. The PCC remains vigilant for any Safeguarding issues that may arise.

Financial Report

ST.MARY'S CHURCH LASHAM

Treasurer’s Report for the year to December 31st, 2017

Financial results for 2017

The year ended with a bank surplus of £1,003. Against this should be deducted £56 representing invoices yet to be cashed offset by anticipated Charity Aid repayments from HMRC. Thus the cash surplus is £976.

Balances at bank at the 31st December totalled £32,761 or £32,701 when the outstanding invoices and receipts are included. This compares with opening balances totalling £31,730.

Splitting the bank balances by fund the pictures is

2017 2016

General fund £10,036 £11,249 Fabric Fund £19,119 £16,156 Organ & Music £3,606 £4,325 ______Total £32,761 £31,730

12 The movements reflect a transfer from the General fund to the Fabric Fund of £3,000 as agreed by the PCC earlier in the year along with the surplus referred to above.

The outstanding features of these figures are the Collections at Services – up by 64% - and the Charitable Donations – up 119%. The reason for this is that Lasham acted as ‘treasurer’ for the general appeal for Canon Ed’s trip to Palestine. The figure, roughly speaking, inflated both figures by £2000. In addition part of the collection at Ann Robinson’s funeral service was sent to MenCap (£521). These collections are offset by the donations.

However it should be noted that overall receipts excluding these exceptionals would have fallen from the 2016 figure of £21,400 to about £20,500.

Independent Examiner's Report To the members of St Mary’s Church, Lasham, Parochial Church Council.

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2017.

Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner

As Trustees of the charity, the members of the PCC are responsible for production of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to • examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; • follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and • 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 management committee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

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 s.130 of the 2011 Act; or • to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records 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.
