Since September 2020, 3 people have come off the roll and we have had 7 people added to the roll. 87 live within the parish and 40 outside. As our Electoral Roll is over 125 we are entitled to have four Deanery Synod Representatives. Sadly, since the last APCM three long standing members of our church have died – Ann Fell, Jack Miller and Jean Brooker. TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT Overview – Redefining Church In 2019 St Margaret’s was a growing church. More connections, more activity, Sunday attendance increased by 30% and an increased income of £35,000. 2020 began in the same vein and in the first quarter church attendance continued to grow at a rate of 20%. Normally, we might now be remembering fondly the installation of the priest-in- charge as vicar and attendant celebration. However, the early optimism of the year was quickly overshadowed by the pandemic and rapid transformation in which all areas of church life changed out of recognition. Activity in the Church and Hall since has been sporadic at best, reacting to government instruction and advice. And while September and October saw some return, November saw another lockdown and the hoped for return for Christmas disintegrated to leave 2021 beginning with a long period of restrictions, which is only in May beginning to ease. On the other hand, I am extremely proud of how we have responded to the challenges and opportunities we’ve faced. From the beginning we have combined charitable giving and acts of service, with new forms of prayer and worship, together with support for the community and arts. We will only understand the full ramifications and impact of both the pandemic and our work within the community in years to come, but in some remarkable ways St Margaret’s has turned itself inside out and found a new vocation in the community. The Medium is the Message The Archbishops took the unprecedented decision that from Mothering Sunday 2020 all churches should close, with no one – even vicars – using them for prayer or worship. While this decision has been questioned it resulted in an immediate requirement for an entirely new approach to liturgy. From that Sunday we began streaming services at first from the vicarage, then including the director of music (who was in Yorkshire). With time we improved in our use of technology and were able to split screens and then bring in more of the 5 congregation to read and perform intercessions. At the same time the vicar’s streamed morning and evening prayer was noticed and several commented on how it book-ended monotonous days. The reader was soon taking services and eventually other members of the congregation stepped in so each day was led by someone different. The community of prayer that gathered each morning was between 10 and 20 every day, with fewer gathering for evening prayer. Streaming services was felt by the vicar to be the most satisfactory means of virtual- church but by introducing Zoom coffee, at first just after the service, later followed by a midweek catch-up, there was a more participatory means to keep our community connected. Efforts were made to include children with songs in the Sunday service and a midweek virtual playgroup and Sunday school. The Sunday School team also introduced challenges and activities, which the vicar was able to present on Sundays. Before the end of the first lockdown we had succeeded in installing first-rate streaming equipment that meant when some of the congregation returned to services in church in July, no one was left behind and in this mixed mode everyone had a great seat in church! A special mention here must be made for Mark Steward who produced a beautiful cabinet to house and protect the equipment. Before the pandemic the church had a facebook page that made occasional notices and a recently reconfigured website. In 2020 all of these have adapted rapidly, with the addition of Instagram and especially Twitter which has provided a good connection to other churches and activity locally and in the diocese. Permanent improvements to our mission are as follows: 1. The streaming of services increases our reach beyond the local. It means those who are housebound for any reason can still access services. Because we have made the investment our streamed services give a good representation of what we’re about and provide an accessible way in to the community. 2. The streaming of services has great pastoral importance in allowing access to services for weddings, baptisms, funerals and other services for those who are unable to attend, abroad or absent for other reasons. 3. The streaming of morning and evening prayer has created ex nihilo a daily community of prayer. People gather each morning online to pray together, and in the evening we gather in person and online. For myself this is perhaps the greatest achievement of the pandemic. I believe it has stimulated the discipleship, spirituality and vocation of all involved. Followers 6 The Shape of Worship 2020 has seen a great deal of liturgical innovation in adapting to the changing circumstances. Before the pandemic began we had brought in a chanted psalm between the readings, which increases our use of Scripture and brings a new style of music, and an alleluia to introduce the Gospel. The pandemic has required us to use a professional singer to lead the worship – at times only one person has been permitted to sing in church. Several people have commented to me that they prefer this set up as it has allowed us to have some beautiful music in church in a more reflective style. While this use has simply been an adaptation to rapidly changing and difficult times, it has also demonstrated the benefit of supplementing our worship with professional musicians and helped in thinking through different scenarios for the shape of our worship. While there is a cost to using professional musicians, in this year it provided much needed work for musicians, a welcome chance to perform, and many cantored for free in thanks for being given opportunities for rehearsal and recording space, or a fundraising recital. There have been a large number of adaptations to the pandemic. Especially felt has been the ban on congregational singing, the withdrawal of the chalice, the end of sharing the peace, impossibility of serving, requirement for facemask, hand- sanitising and track and tracing, the 2m distancing of pews, the great difficulties found in holding a Creche and Sunday School, and end of all hospitality. With the most immediately attractive aspects of church-attendance withdrawn – fellowship, families and singing – and a less comfortable and physical worship, the faithfulness of St Margaret’s has been sorely tested. The quick commitment to streaming and the efforts of many in maintaining connections has been a testament to our resilience. We will not know the full impact of the pandemic for some time on our worshipping community. It was encouraging to see, however, that on the first Sunday in May we had the largest congregation Sunday by Sunday in the last ten years. This suggests that we have remained largely connected and made new connections. With a strong pattern of families especially moving house and the disruption to Sunday School we will have to work hard to regather the community. While Christmas collapsed around us as the lockdown gathered, a highlight of the worshipping year was Christmas Eve carols in the garden. This must be repeated as it provided a truly magical moment at a time when other carol services and most planned activity was fast being cancelled. The Easter 7 Vigil returned in the vicar’s garden on Saturday night and was repeated in 2021 in church for the first time in many years, but received appreciative comments. It was also the scene of drama as Stephen Stavrou, a vicar at St Michael and All Angels, Barnes, stepped in at the last minute and the vicar had to leave before the end of the service to attend the birth of Apollo on Easter morning. The largest change to our worship has been the impact of live streaming.

  • Festal Eucharist
    St Edmundsbury Cathedral Festal Eucharist President: The Right Revd Dr Mike Harrison Bishop of Dunwich Preacher: The Very Reverend Joe Hawes Dean of St Edmundsbury 25 December 2020 Christmas Day 10.30 am Welcome to St Edmundsbury Cathedral We celebrate today the wonderful mystery of God’s coming among us, fully human - as Emmanuel, ‘God with us’ - born of Mary. The celebration of Christ’s birth at Christmas is one of the two pillars of the Christian faith, and our Christmas services help us to recall, amid all the joyful customs and celebrations of Christmas, this central truth of the Word made flesh. The festival of the incarnation has been celebrated in the church since the third century. The Christmas crib and the nativity play can both be said to have originated from the tableau of Christ’s birth that St Francis of Assisi arranged when he celebrated Christmas at Grecchio in 1223. The Christmas season is often thought to be just a period of twelve days, ending with the Epiphany. The church nowadays, however, keeps a much earlier tradition in which the season lasts for a full forty days, ending with Candlemas, the Feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple, in February. May Christmas bring to you, and all who you love, joy and peace as you ponder the mystery of Christ in our midst. The musical setting for today’s service is Missa Santi Nicolai by Franz Joseph Haydn, 1732-1809 Front cover illustration: The Nativity 2008 - abstract art by Will Humes, Lutheran Pastor. Members of the public are not permitted to take photographs or video recordings during services and events.

  • Joint Statement from Ipswich Christian Leaders- Final
    Joint Statement from Christian leaders in Ipswich in response to the killing of George Floyd Friday 5th June 2020 The killing of George Floyd was a tragic act of violence that has revealed that racial injustices, amongst many other prejudices, are still present throughout society. George Floyd was denied the fundamental right to life, and his killing is an insult to the God-given dignity of every human being. George Floyd’s death has provoked anger across the world and we, as church leaders in Suffolk, join with those who call for justice. Many people in our community face racial discrimination every day. This discrimination, expressed in many forms, all too often goes unchecked. We must unite to call out racism wherever we see it and hold one another accountable for our words and actions. We reaffirm our commitment to eradicating all forms of racism in all parts of society because every human life is precious and honoured by God. We ask you to join us to shine as lights in the darkness, to uncover the forces of prejudice and discrimination that still divide our community. Signatories: 1. Pastor Harold Afflu (Lead Pastor, Ipswich International Church, Elim) 2. The Rt Revd Martin Seeley (Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, Church of England) 3. The Rt Revd Mike Harrison (Bishop of Dunwich, Church of England) 4. Rev. Peterson Anand (Minister of Nansen Road Baptist Church, Ipswich) 5. Rev Nick Atkins (St Matthew’s Church) 6.

He prepares us to understand how Jesus was persecuted and handed over to be killed. In the letter to St. James, he reminds us, where jealous and selfishness exist, there is disorder, but the wisdom from God is pure, peaceful, gentle, compliant and full of mercy and good fruit. In order for us to sow peace and good fruit in our hearts and in our daily lives, we have to cultivate that peace. The hard part is figuring out how to do that daily. We have to allow ourselves to be guided by him and not by this world. In today’s Gospel, Jesus shows us how he traveled with his disciples. Sometimes the best way to get to know someone is to travel with them and walk with them every step of the way.

    6 October 2016 Dear Candidate, As Americans across the country prepare to elect a new President and Congress, the Copyright Alliance and CreativeFuture – two organizations that strongly support creative communities by working to protect creativity and encourage respect for copyright law – have partnered on letters (attached here) and a Change.org petition, to ensure that the views of the creative communities are heard. Signed by over 35,000 creatives, audience members, fans, and consumers, the letters recognize that the internet is a powerful and democratizing force, but also stress the need for a strong copyright system that rewards creativity and promotes a healthy creative economy. Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative or libertarian, strong and effective copyright is not a partisan issue, but rather one that benefits our entire country. The letters and petition discuss the complementary relationship between a strong copyright system, free expression, creativity, innovation, and technology. The signers affirmed: • We embrace the internet as a powerful democratizing force for creative industries and the world at large. • We embrace a strong copyright system that rewards creativity and promotes a healthy creative economy. • We proudly assert that copyright promotes and protects free speech. • Copyright should allow creative communities to safeguard their rights against those who would use the internet to undermine creativity. • Creative communities must be part of the conversation and stand up for creativity. Sincerely, Ruth Vitale Keith Kupferschmid CEO, CreativeFuture CEO, Copyright Alliance Open Letter to 2016 Political Candidates We are members of the creative community. While our political views are diverse, as creatives, there are core principles on which we can all agree.

  • Festal Eucharist Easter
    Festal Eucharist on Easter Day President: The Right Reverend Dr Mike Harrison Bishop of Dunwich Sunday 4 April 2021 11.00 am Welcome to St Edmundsbury Cathedral A warm welcome to the Cathedral for this Easter Day Sung Festal Eucharist as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord. The service today is led by the Bishop of Dunwich, the Right Reverend Dr Mike Harrison. At the start of today’s service, during the hymn, the Paschal Candle (from Latin Pascha for ‘Easter’) blessed at the Vigil and used at baptisms and special celebrations throughout the coming liturgical year, will be brought in. The Paschal candle contains a twofold symbolism. First, it represents the pillar of fire that went before the Israelites during their flight from Egypt. Second, it represents Christ, the light of the world, risen from the tomb, whose Easter life we celebrate throughout the coming weeks of the year. Alleluia! The service is sung by the Edmund Consort. We are grateful to our musicians for continuing to lead the music of our cathedral within current pandemic guidelines. Thanks go today to William Saunders who is overseeing our music at this time.
