Closing Prayer Page | 3 Rector’s Comments “We have a Gospel…” Our motto last year came from Isaiah 43:19 and was ‘Going Deeper’. This year our motto comes from Isaiah 40:31 and is around ‘flourishing lives: the faithfulness of God and faithful to God’. Flourishing and Faithfulness were the themes of our Church Away Day to KES, Witley. There are signs of flourishing around us as a Church family. We have opened The Old Rectory and are seeing good use made of this new ministry facility. The reason for this whole project is the faithfulness of God’s people locally who have given hugely and sacrificially over the past three years. Faithfulness is also seen in the quiet and diligent care, activity, signs of love and God’s Grace which permeate everything that goes on here. Faithfulness is also sometimes shown in the proving ground of more pressured situations, and we have had our share of these this year too. The ministry and worship at Hambledon Church has been exercised faithfully over the past year with increasing numbers of new people stepping forward to take active part in things. Faithfulness is also sometimes seen in how people live in testing personal times. Some of these are private but we have caught glimpses of people’s faith and testimony to Jesus Christ in difficult circumstances. We walk with each of you who are living such moments right now. As we look back we also look forward. The year ahead is one where we will see Busbridge Church reordered and the final phase of the Old Rectory project will be completed: the changes to the Church Centre. We look forward to the appointment of leaders of ministry with children and youth and to working out the future for the associate minister position. We also look forward to ministry which can use buildings which, for the first time in living memory, are fit for the purposes of God as the Holy Spirit leads us to proclaim the unchanging Gospel of Christ in fresh ways to an unreached people and generations in our area. There is a modern hymn which begins with these words “We have a Gospel to proclaim” and this year is one of flourishing in this Gospel, despite all that is happening in the World around us. Page | 4 Reference and Administrative Information For the Year ended 31st December 2018 Busbridge Church (also known as St John the Baptist, Busbridge), is situated in Brighton Road, Godalming.

The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England, within the modern system of church government based on synods, each with a mixed clerical and lay membership, at national, diocesan and ruridecanal levels. The legal status of PCCs was established by the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956, as amended. Busbridge PCC is registered with the Charity Commission (charity number 1128305), as it has annual income exceeding £100,000. Hambledon PCC is also now registered with the Charity Commission (charity number 1172197), as its income is approaching £100,000. The scope of PCC business, its conduct and composition are set out in the Church Representation Rules, as amended from time to time. All church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and to participate in the government of church life via the Annual Meeting. Lay members are encouraged to stand for election to the PCC. All clergy (except those with “Permission to Officiate”) are members of the PCC ex officio, as are the Churchwardens, Treasurers and Deanery Synod representatives. The Licensed Lay Ministers (Reader) are not ex officio PCC members. Elected lay members of Busbridge PCC hold office for three years and are eligible to stand for a second three-year term. Elected lay members of Hambledon PCC hold office indefinitely. Busbridge PCC members and Hambledon PCC members are also charity trustees and are registered with the Charity Commission. The PCC members renew their commitment to serving the church and the council annually and are responsible for addressing central issues of importance to the whole church. PCC meets corporately six times per year and delegates much of its oversight to sub-teams. The Governance Group of the PCC comprises Incumbent, Associate Minister, four Churchwardens, PCC Secretary and two Treasurers. The Standing Committee transacts the PCC’s business between its meetings, subject to delegated powers. The Standing Committee sets the PCC agenda. All PCC members are commissioned each year, and agree to fulfil their responsibilities as they are best able.

  • LINK-UP Keeping Churches in Touch
    November 2019 LINK-UP Keeping Churches in Touch www.godalmingchurches.org From the Past Chair All change for a new decade At the recent Annual General Meeting, which was held at the Old Rectory, Busbridge this year, there were a number of changes to the structure of the Executive of Churches Together in Godalming and District.

The Executive consists of: • Secretary: Gillian Martin • Treasurer: Tony Bennewith • Past Chair: Michael Stubbs • Publicity: Edouard Le Maistre • Surrey Advertiser liaison and Catholic Rep: Angela Gilmour • Prayer Breakfasts: Michael Stubbs • GUC rep: Gwen Wheatman. • SS Peter and Paul: John Stevens We are also setting up a team (consisting at present of Maggie, Andy Poulsom and Michael Stubbs) to look at Good Friday 2020.

  • A Little Handbook
    The Church of St Peter and St Paul HAMBLEDON A Little Handbook Minimum recommended donation £2.00 Foreword by the Priest-in-Charge of Hambledon The Reverend Canon Robin Coutts This guide is dedicated to the memory of Welcome to our ancient and beautiful church. Over the centuries it has been the focus John Goldsmith (1924 - 2011) for worship and community in this village. We hope that this brief account will give Historian of Hambledon you an interesting insight into the changes - architectural, liturgical and social - which are revealed in the fabric of this building. Amidst the detail you will find references to Hambledon’s well known connection with cricket and the less widely known part the village played in Britain’s defensive preparations at the time of the Napoleonic wars. In a more recent conflict, a service was held in this church for the many troops stationed in and around the village before they embarked for the D Day landings in 1944. More recently still, the church has proved a wonderful setting for raising funds for the welfare of servicemen returning from current conflicts. The social history of Hambledon reflects the historic and economic ups and downs of the countryside. There was relative prosperity in the middle ages with regular commercial fairs, notably at Michaelmas. Later there was a gradual decline in substance and livelihood and it became harder and harder for the village to maintain the fabric of a large church. Difficulties of this sort continue today. But, as this booklet tells, the church and community have always come together wonderfully to solve them.

  • Godalming Footways Report – 2016
    Godalming Neighbourhood Plan Report of the Footways Working Group Spring 2016 Introduction: Our Godalming Footways Group was started as a short-term project – an off-shoot of the Godalming Neighbourhood Plan Transport Group – to survey the state of public footways (as distinct from public footpaths) and identify action needed. Several meetings have been held, which has included use of `The Hub` in Godalming High Street for which we are grateful, with the remainder of activity actually traversing the streets on foot or by wheelchair. In embarking on this project, the situation was made plain that none of us could guarantee any follow-up work happening as a result, but we could at least hope! At our first meeting we were fortunate to be joined by two wheelchair users, fully supportive of the project, and one continued on to help with the survey work. Interestingly, it was they who suggested that as important as it is to consider pedestrians and wheelchair users in this survey work we should also be alert to specific locations on the footway where cycling would be appropriate: We have, therefore, had this in mind when the width and circumstances appeared right, and identified a limited number of such places. We recognise the current economic situation, at the same time as recognising that encouragement of walking and cycling is an investment in health and our environment,whilst contributing to the County Council`s objectives expressed in the `Surrey Transport Plan 2011-2026 Climate Change Strategy`. There is potential for funding to come from a number of different directions, including from `Planning Gain`.

  • Who Are You Sharing Christmas With?
    Who are you sharing Christmas with? The Diocese of Guildford have compiled this directory of support available over the Christmas period in Surrey and North East Hampshire. Thank you to all those groups who have shared information about how they are helping to support people at this time of year. Christmas is a busy time of year, celebrating and spending time with family and friends. However, we know that this time of year can be difficult for some people. They may be lonely – separated from family and friends, or vulnerable for other reasons. Note for Organisers: We have been advised by one lunch organiser that your local Waitrose may be able to provide support generally for groups who are providing lunch for those who would otherwise be alone on Christmas Day. Another Source of information is http://communitychristmas.org.uk/ which has a good listing of community events across the UK Please share the information provided with those who may be on their own at Christmas and with those who may be looking for volunteering opportunities. If you know of another event, or are needing volunteers please do get in touch with the: Communities Engagement Team, Diocese of Guildford, Diocesan House, Quarry Street, Guildford, Surrey, GU1 3XG tel: 01483 790 324 email: [email protected] Compiled by: 1 Dec 2015 Surrey Heath On Christmas Day a Community lunch is being held in Bisley Village Hall. The event is aimed at those who will be alone on Christmas day. They can only accommodate 40 guests so pre-booking is essential.
