Profile – 2020

1

The Bishop of Llandaff is seeking to appoint a Vicar for Penarth All Saints in the Penarth Ministry Area

This is a unique opportunity to join a ministry team, bringing together all the Anglican churches in Penarth, to serve communities across the town and nearby communities, and further the vision of Llandaff Diocese for the whole of this area.

Our Diocesan Vision

We believe faith matters.

Our vision is that all may encounter and know the love of God through truth, beauty and service, living full and rich lives through faith. Transforming lives through living and bearing witness to Jesus Christ is our calling. We seek to do this in a Diocese that is strong, confident, alive and living in faith, engaged with the realities of life and serving others in His name. Our profound belief in the sovereignty of God means that we will look to continue Christ’s church and mission by telling the joyful story of Jesus, growing the Kingdom of God by empowering all to participate and building the future in hope and love.

Our Shared Aims Telling the joyful story Growing the Kingdom of God Building our capacity for good

The appointment of Vicar for Penarth All Saints is being made during a year of transition for the whole of Llandaff Diocese. For Penarth, this will mean the formation of a new single Ministry Area, which brings together the two substantial parishes of All Saints and its immediate neighbour, the parish of Penarth & Llandough. The transition will be completed by 1st January 2022. The new Vicar, therefore, can expect from the outset to be working closely with clerical and lay colleagues, to establish and grow new patterns for ministry and evangelism in this wider context.

Penarth Ministry Area – The Story So Far

Discussions around a single ministry area for Penarth have been ongoing for a number of years. In 2015, all the clergy and lay ministers of both parishes were cross-licensed, and a conscious movement began towards greater integration, at the practical level, across different aspects of the parishes’ lives. In July 2019, at a formal service with the bishop, a new Ministry Area Agreement was signed, and a conscious movement began towards greater integration across different aspects of the parishes’ lives.

The new Vicar will be one of the two clergy in the Ministry Area with incumbent status. In addition to holding an ex officio place on the Ministry Area Council (the PCC) alongside the Ministry Area Leader, s/he will be expected to take principal pastoral and liturgical responsibility for the two churches of All Saints Penarth, and St Peter’s Old Cogan, and will be Training Incumbent for the Curate, the Revd Ali Reeves, for the remainder of her curacy. Ali is in the second year of her title post.

The information below reflects the thriving and well-developed life of the historic parish of Penarth All Saints, which will now make a major contribution to the future vision and planning of the Ministry Area of Penarth. The new Vicar will be someone who, in addition to having qualities listed below, understands the complexities of this transition process, and can give sensitive leadership alongside colleagues to establish new patterns of church and ministerial life, for the Ministry Area, across the whole town.

1. Welcome

We are delighted to introduce you to our ministry and God’s work in the parish of Penarth, All Saints. In this document we convey an overall picture of our parish within the Penarth Ministry Area, its Church life, its people and heritage as life is currently conducted. It also gives some insight into the mechanisms of the parish including its administration and finances.

By its very nature this document only provides a snapshot of the work and life of our parish thus far. We welcome a Vicar who will bring their own ideas, to develop our ministry within the new structures of the Ministry Area in future, and we would encourage you to get in touch if there is anything further that you would like to know.

4 a. We are prayerfully looking for a priest who will:  welcome everyone into an inclusive church, regardless of their age, needs or background, and. by their inclusive leadership, help us to grow both in depth and number across all age groups;

 be engaging and collaborative, with excellent people-skills, and who will lead us into the next stage of our mission and ministry in the locality;

 show ambition, excitement and energy about the opportunities provided by the recent reorganisation into a Ministry Area, enabling us, with our friends in the congregations of the (soon to be, former) Parish of Penarth and Llandough to serve the whole town more effectively;

 inspire us with their preaching and teaching, so that we may prayerfully meet the needs of the parish, Ministry Area and wider afield in the 21st century;

 enable and empower lay people within the parish to discover, develop and use their God-given gifts in his service;

 enhance our relationships and mission to local schools (open the book, school visiting and church visits), care homes (pastoral visiting team) and the housebound (pastoral visiting team);

 bring new life and energy to the church’s links with our overseas mission;

 build relationships with all ages from the very young to the very old including youth organisations and other providers of youth activities in the community, helping us to draw them into the worshipping life of the parish.

b. Our existing ministry team Clergy and lay readers within the Ministry Area are all already cross licensed. All clergy participate in Sunday service rotations and pulpit swaps. We share evening prayer together four times a week and share services during Holy Week (alternating venues). The Parish also has a group of Lay Eucharistic Ministers, and is currently redeveloping a Lay Pastoral Visitors Team.

c. Within All Saints we offer you  a committed and knowledgeable congregation;  well-sited buildings – the churches, and two halls – which offer potential for further community outreach and mission;  the opportunity to help shape the future of this part of Penarth, working closely with the wider team to reach more people of all ages and backgrounds within the town;  a dedicated team of staff complemented by an extensive team of active volunteers.

2. Location a. The town of Penarth

Penarth is a town and community in the Vale of Glamorgan, approximately 5 miles southwest of Cardiff city centre on the north shore of the Severn Estuary at the southern end of Cardiff Bay. Penarth is the wealthiest seaside resort in the Cardiff Urban Area, and the second largest town in the Vale of Glamorgan, next only to Barry.

During the Victorian era Penarth was a highly popular holiday destination, promoted nationally as "The Garden by the Sea" and was packed by visitors from the Midlands and the West Country as well as day trippers from the South Wales valleys, mostly arriving by train.

In addition to tourism, Penarth has a significant industrial and maritime heritage. Penarth Dock (now Penarth Marina and residential developments) was opened in 1865 and at the Welsh coal trade's zenith in 1913 ships carried 4.6 million tons of coal in a single year out of Penarth docks. Penarth Pier (Photograph: Ben Salter) opened in 1895 and having suffered fire, several vessel strikes, it was fully restored in 2012, with the pavilion building reopening in Autumn 2013 as multipurpose events space.

Today, the town, with its traditional seafront, continues to be a regular summer holiday destination (predominantly for older visitors), but their numbers are much lower than in Victorian times. Although the number of holiday visitors has greatly declined, the town retains a substantial retired population, representing over 25% of residents. Many people that live in Penarth commute the short distance to Cardiff to work. The town's population is around 25,000 and is set to grow substantially with further new housing being built near Cosmeston Lakes and elsewhere. In a few years’ time, the population of the whole Ministry Area, which includes nearby Llandough and Lavernock, will have a population well over 30,000.

The town has a significant number of independent local businesses from butchers to bakers, florists to fruit shops, and, cafes and coffee-shops throughout the high street which are intermingled with national retailers and charity shops. To complement the library, Penarth has an award winning independent bookstore. There are a wide variety of eateries ranging from cafes to a Michelin starred restaurant. Extensive Victorian and Edwardian architecture remains in many parts of the town.

The parish of Penarth, All Saints is located on the western side of Penarth, in a largely residential area. The housing is a mixture of very large expensive properties along with ex-council estates and social housing.

The population is served by two large state secondary schools (Stanwell and St Cyres) with a number of feeder primary schools who have all scored well in recent inspections. Penarth also has an independent school taking pupils from ages 3-18. Some members of the congregation attend the Bishop of Llandaff School.

There are a number of large retirement homes; both residential and nursing. The Penarth Town Council Offices are based in the parish as is the council run concert venue, The Paget Rooms.

There are a significant number of quality local sports clubs: hockey, cricket; football, tennis, bowls, athletics, dance, gymnastics, boxing and rugby. In addition to the traditional local sports, there is also a yacht club, a golf club and the expansive Cosmeston Lakes Country Park.

There are good local, national and international travel links with three railway stations in the Ministry Area, all linking into the main Cardiff Central station. The M4 and Cardiff International Airport are both approximately 10 miles from the Parish.

b. Penarth, All Saints

We have two churches in the current parish; All Saints and St Peter’s. All Saints Church is located in Victoria Square, originally built by the Earl of Plymouth in 1892, on a green-field site which was the town's cricket and rugby field. The church is now surrounded by a square of elegant Victorian and Edwardian housing although the original grassed area has been retained and landscaped with trees. Destroyed by a German air raid in 1943, the church was rebuilt and reopened in 1955.

7

St Peter's Church also known as Old Cogan Church is located off Sully Road. There is a reference to it in 1180 so it was probably constructed just before that of thin lias limestone slabs, a local stone, in a herringbone pattern more typical of earlier Saxon times. The present structure is one of the earliest ecclesiastical buildings surviving in the Diocese.

All Saints has two Church halls on Victoria Square. The main hall is an older building. Designed by John Coates Carter as one of his first solo projects in the expressionist form in 1906; the building is grade 2 listed and is a fine example of the Arts and Crafts Movement. This is where Mel, our Ministry Area youth worker, has her office.

The main hall has a stage and gallery and can accommodate comfortably up to 100 people sitting at tables and 150 for events. The main hall has been used for numerous TV programmes, notably for the Barn Dance in Gavin and Stacey, but also for Doctor Who, Casualty, Torchwood and the Sarah Jane Adventures.

The Lesser Hall is a smaller one, carpeted and much cosier – an ideal venue for meetings for up to 70 people sitting. The lesser hall has kitchen facilities. Both halls are used by a variety of community groups throughout the week including fitness classes, ballet lessons, Brownies, and toddler groups etc

The PCC is currently applying for an alcohol license to cover our buildings on Victoria Square. Consequently we are reviewing and improving the quality of our halls letting agreements to ensure we comply with all the licensing requirements.

3. Terms of Service

The new incumbent will be inducted initially as Vicar of Penarth All Saints. Upon the restructuring of the Ministry Area, s/he will be re-licensed as a Vicar in the Ministry Area of Penarth, with specified areas of responsibility, including for pastoral oversight of All Saints and St Peter’s.

The appointment will be made under the terms of common tenure in the Church in Wales. Clergy expenses will be reimbursed in full, according to the rules set down by the Church in Wales. No Easter offering will be given.

The Vicarage is a detached house in its own grounds standing on the corner of Lower Cwrt y Vil Road, less than a 5 minute walk from All Saints. The kitchen was replaced in 2019.

During the summer months there are a variety of routes to walk or cycle safely to St Peter’s from the vicarage ranging in length from 1 to 2.5 miles depending on your route.

4. Telling the joyful story

The spiritual culture of the Parish is richly varied. At most of our services full vestments are worn; occasionally the clergy wear no robes. Some services are very traditional whilst others are arranged and led by gifted lay people – we are an inclusive church. At all services the emphasis is upon participation and shared ministry. The Parish has a group of Lay Eucharistic Ministers and is currently redeveloping a Lay Pastoral Visitors Team. On average our weekly attendance is around 175. Our regular services are as follows.

a. All Saints services

Sunday:

8am – Traditional Said Eucharist. (20-25 attendees)

10am – Services are on a four week cycle (100-120 attendees including 20-30 young people).

 Week 1 and 2: Sung Eucharist;  Week 3: bilingual Sung Eucharist (Ministry Area pulpit swop);  Week 4: all age family service without Eucharist (lay led).

Sunday school classes:  On week 1-3 classes run for 3-6 years olds, 7-11 year olds and our youth have a 12+ provision provided by our youth worker.  A purpose built crèche is available at all services with integrated sound access to the service.

Tea and coffee are served on the gallery after the 10am service each Sunday. A significant number of the congregation stay for friendship and fellowship.

6pm – Evensong on week 1-3, and Sung Eucharist on week 4. (up to 20 attendees)

Weekday services:

Daily - Morning prayers daily with evening prayers shared across Ministry Area

Tuesday – 7pm Said Eucharist (10 -15 attendees)

Friday – 11am Said Eucharist (8-12 attendees – retired clergy led)

10 b. St Peter’s

St Peter’s Old Cogan is a small church but houses a very active congregation determined to conserve and enhance the building and refresh and renew its congregational life and outreach. It holds one service weekly but is a popular and very special venue for small weddings. There are long term plans to extend the facilities at the Church.

Sunday: 3.30 pm: A mix of Eucharist / Evensong and Taize services.

c. Music

Music is very important at All Saints. There is a long established choral tradition and a choir who support our main services on a Sunday. All Saints is served by a choir master and organist, alongside a worship group leader. The choir and worship team collaborate closely with some members participating in both groups. Several members of the congregation are professional musicians and support the provision of services.

The church has a fine example of a Compton Extension Organ built in 1954 which was thoroughly overhauled and expanded to include a digital interface in 2017 at the cost of £100k.

The worship team concentrates on the more modern and contemporary settings of music and is accompanied by a clarinettist and piano. The piano has recently been replaced with a modern Yamaha concert grand piano. Both the organ and piano have service contracts associated with them.

d. Youth work

As part of our youth focus within our Ministry Area we employ a Youth Worker. 12+ is our Sunday youth group at All Saints for year 7 and up. It gives young people a relaxed and friendly environment where they explore the Christian faith, make friends and have a good time.

12+ meets every Sunday at 10am in All Saints youth room at the back of the main hall close to the church. They meet for just under an hour on a Sunday morning to learn about God through reading the Bible and interesting discussions. Sometimes there is worship, prayer, music, drama and games. Afterwards they join the last part of the 10am service to receive Holy Communion.

Energize is for young people aged 11-17, who would like to get to know each other better and meet weekly to explore their faith deeper.

11 e. Home Communion

We have a home communion visiting team that regularly take communion to those who are house bound. In addition to this we provide home communion at the Waverley Care Centre on the first Tuesday of the month, Ty Gwyn Nursing home on the third Thursday of the month and at Morel Court Care Home on the last Wednesday of the month.

f. Wider church access

Both churches are regularly in use for baptisms, weddings and funerals. On average we have the following:

 Baptisms: between 30-50 per annum  Weddings: between 10 and 15 per annum  Funerals: between 30-50 per annum

g. Annual services

Here is a list of our major services:

 Nine lessons and carols. This is a musical and spiritual feast by candle light where we welcome around 250-300 attendees led by the clergy;  Crib service on Christmas Eve. This service has become so popular that we’ve had to split into two sessions (2pm and 4pm). Normally led by a lay member we welcome 375-400 people across the two services;  Midnight Mass / first service of Christmas brings around 120-140 people into the church and usual numbers of attendees for the other services on Christmas Day;  Moving into Lent we run a joint Lent course in the Ministry Area. In 2020 we followed a set of teachings based on the book, “The Way”;  Pancake Praise is the first of our Lent services. It is a family-orientated service with around 35 people attending for an engaging and interactive service led by a lay member;  On Maundy Thursday we strip the altar and wash feet;  Good Friday starts with an interactive family service (lay led) followed by a Three Hour devotional and meditative service with music (clergy led);  There is also a Cytun-led Walk of Witness through the town on Good Friday;  Easter Day is a popular with over 225 attending the family Eucharist.

12 h. Penarth Cytun

All churches in Penarth are involved in Cytun (Churches Together) and the clergy and laity from All Saints play an active role. Cytun reflects, instigates and acts on issues such as social justice, Christian Aid, Penarth and District Lesotho Trust, the foodbank, Greening Penarth Greening, Good Friday Walk of Witness, Sunrise service Easter Day, and Penarth Holiday festival.

5. Growing the Kingdom of God a. Our foundations

Our previous incumbent, Peter Cox, was appointed in May 1997 and retired in February 2020. In his leaving message to the parish Peter wrote, “The reason I wanted to come to All Saints was that I knew it was full of wonderful and gifted people who were just waiting for the opportunity to take a lion’s share of Christian Ministry. That is what I inherited from my predecessors and together we have worked tirelessly to serve God, making Christ known in our worship, witness and fellowship.” This is a vital part of our ministry and we are looking for a leader who wishes to develop this further, in the context of the new Ministry Area, building on the strong foundations Peter and his predecessors have laid.

b. Exploring faith ‘outside’ church

Discipleship and teaching is an important aspect of life in the Parish of All Saints. We are open to new and innovative ideas; below is a snapshot of our current activity.

The Living Faith Course has been running for three years under a team of lay and clergy facilitators. There are five faith groups that run at various times during the week to cater for the whole congregation.

Christianity Explored is a course looking at key elements of the Christian faith using Mark’s Gospel as a framework. It provides an excellent way for people at any stage of their journey of faith, from committed church members to those just exploring, to take a step back, consider some of the fundamentals of Christianity anew and learn from each other through discussion. We use recorded talks, alongside participant booklets with suggested readings and discussion questions. We run Christianity Explored course on a regular basis whose times are flexible based on the availability of those wanting to attend.

We operate a shared series of confirmation classes across the Ministry Area and these run on a regular basis. In a similar vein we also run a shared Ministry Area Lent course.

13 c. Open the Book

Open the Book (OtB) is a project which offers primary school children an opportunity to hear key Bible stories, from a team of Christians from local churches, who present the stories during assemblies/acts of Collective Worship. Each presentation takes around 10–15 minutes and can be incorporated into a wider school assembly, or can stand alone. It is a three-year rolling programme with an additional, but optional year of material based on Christian Values for schools. Mission to schools across the Ministry Area is an area we are looking to further develop under the direction of our new vicar.

d. Outreach

Our church has significant outreach. We provide something for everyone across all age ranges. i. TOAST

TOAST meets every month (except August) at 9 a.m. in All Saints Church usually on the first Saturday of the month. It is for pre-school children (0-4) and their parents/carers. There is play and creative activities for the kids and a fantastic breakfast for all – cereals, juice, yogurts, fruit, pastries, muffins and the tasty bacon sandwiches. TOAST is a great opportunity for local families to connect and make friendships in an environment that is relaxed and fun.

ii. Messy Church

There is a Messy Church congregation that has been running since 2011 organised by a large team under the guidance of a lay co-ordinator and a chaplain who is a licensed Reader. Our early endeavours saw All Saints develop significant ministry in this area with many Messy Churches spun out across Penarth and the diocese. Whilst numbers were still averaging around 40 attendees (including helpers) Messy Church has taken a break and we look to the new vicar to shape and re-invigorate this outreach in the future.

iii. Penarth and Llandough Youth Group (PLYG)

The Ministry Area Youth Group, PLYG meets on a Friday evening from 6.30 until 8.30 in the Lesser Hall. In addition to Mel, our youth worker, there are normally 4 or 5 adult leaders. Approximately 20-30 young folk attend between the ages of 10-18. Approximately 60 percent of those attending do not come from our church family. This is a significant outreach programme and as a result of its own success may have to split into two groups to cater for the difference in ages more easily.

14 iv. Mothers’ Union

Mothers’ Union meets in All Saints Church twice a month as an integrated Ministry Area activity. The second Thursday of the month at 2.30pm is the afternoon meeting. It offers a wide range of activities from interesting talks usually with a speaker; joint meetings with the other current MU group in the Ministry Area; joint services and social occasions. Mothers’ Union also meets to have Corporate Communion at 10am on the fourth Thursday of the month followed by coffee. Occasional fund-raising events and trips are arranged.

v. Who Cares?

Who Cares? Coffee mornings extend a welcome to anyone who would like to come and relax with others and enjoy a special time of friendship. You are sure to find a warm welcome, lots of smiling faces, as well as plenty of time for great conversation. Through various fundraising activities, they also manage to raise funds for local charities. It meets in All Saints Church every Tuesday 10am-11.30am.

vi. Cinema Club

The social group, who provide our monthly lunches, also run a monthly cinema club in our small hall. This is a growing outreach project and we have recently purchased our own projection equipment. The cinema is full to capacity each month with around 100 people attending for the film, themed refreshments and fellowship. This outreach to the older element section of society has secured new regular attendees at All Saints.

vii. Music at lunchtime

Our church is treasured by performers who are embarking on their professional careers. With links to the Royal College of Music and Drama there are regular recitals on Monday lunchtimes. As an informal event, people are invited to bring their lunch and listen to the recital. All Saints is seen by many as an important performance venue with a growing reputation such that performance slots are soon snapped up.

During Penarth festival week we host a series of concerts each day during lunchtime, including local choirs and singing groups. In addition to our recitals this year we have also secured a series which sees the whole cycle of Beethoven’s violin sonatas performed during the year in a series of five lunchtime concerts.

Entry to all our lunchtime recitals is free but donations are welcomed and these will be shared with the church to support its programme of free concerts.

15 viii. Outside organisations

In addition to school visits, All Saints is often chosen by different schools across Penarth to host their harvest festivals and Christmas Carol concerts. This brings many people into the church who would otherwise not attend.

The Scout Association rotates its annual carol concert, and St Georges Day parade, into All Saints, and we host the annual Remembrance Sunday Service for the town.

The local bookshop hires the church for its events and regularly holds events which bring in up to 200 people.

6. Building our Capacity for Good

This section explores our governance and wider (worldwide) links. i. Ministry Area, future PCC and governance

Since the signing of the Ministry Area agreement in July 2019 the two parishes in Penarth have embarked on developing an even more integrated Ministry – a process that began a few years ago. We look forward to an injection of new energy with a new Vicar to continue this work, and develop it in new directions.

In preparation for the creation of a Rectorial Benefice in summer 2021, a transitional group, has been formed to start to think through the issues of merging the two parishes (and five churches) in the local area.

After 1st January 2022, it is expected that the transitional group will ‘go live’ as the initial Ministry Area Council (PCC of the new benefice). It will consist of clergy, elected representatives and individuals appointed for their skill sets (useful to the life of this large organisation), and will oversee and guide church activity in future across the whole Ministry Area. An early task of the Council will be to determine the structure of committees and delegated responsibilities, to enable its mission priorities to be most effectively addressed. In doing so, it will draw on the long experience and valuable expertise already present in the churches.

In each church, two local representatives will be responsible for many elements in the life of that church, and Ministry Area Wardens will be freed of many of the tasks that accrued to Churchwardens in the past, to take a more overall view, and engaging in, and promoting lay leadership.

Each individual church will have its own local Church council and representatives.

Lay people will play an active part in the life and governance of the new Benefice through a number of specialist groups, with areas covered such as Outreach,

16

Children and Youth Work, Finance, Pastoral, Buildings, Environmental work, Mission, etc.

The new Ministry Area will be able to draw upon the talents of two fine part-time administrators, offering paid support of 1.3 fte between them, who will be centralised in the All Saints’ Church Office.

The future Ministry Area Treasurer, a member of the current transitional group, is a KPMG accountant, and will be supported in his role by a local book-keeper, with individuals in each of the five churches undertaking routine banking and other duties.

Legal support is currently offered to the transitional groupby the acting Chief Legal Advisor to the Senedd Cymru (the Welsh Parliament).

iii. Finances

At the time of writing, both current parishes in the Penarth Ministry Area have Charity Number status (£100k plus income p.a.) and significant assets (over £500k)- but also have significant commitments and expenditures that go with that income.

Both parishes have operated in the black for many years, and the new Ministry Area will continue to do so in future, as a result of strong financial control and an increased emphasis on stewardship.

The following information relates just to the parish of Penarth All Saints; fuller details, including information about the parish of Penarth & Llandough, are available on request.

Penarth All Saints has a long tradition of Christian Stewardship and encourages regular, generous and sacrificial giving. Income from regular giving has fallen marginally over the past few years. However, fundraising for specific projects has remained buoyant. Our expenditure in 2019 slightly exceeded our income (by approximately £11k) but the church has reserves. Clearly these reserves will not last for ever so we have put in place a new sub-group to explore a Stewardship campaign following guidance from Mark Brampton the diocesan parish resources advisor.

The annual financial return for 2019 and balance sheet, as approved by our independent external auditor, is included in Annex 1.

In 2019 we received a significant legacy (£1million) from a faithful member of our congregation. The Estate was gifted to the Representative Body to hold on trust, with the income to be used for charitable church purposes in the Parish of Penarth All Saints, but that preference be given to the upkeep and improvement of St Peter’s

17

Church and Churchyard, outbuildings and car park. The Will stated that no part of the income shall be used to pay any diocesan quota and requested that the trust be called ‘The Norman and Freda Jones Trust’. Whilst investments can go up and down in value, our first receipt from the Trust in January 2020 was £3.5k.

iv. Overseas mission

Penarth All Saints is linked with the parish of St Agnes Mission in Teyateyeneng in Lesotho. Previously we have supported a CMS Mission Partner working in Tanzania. We look to the new vicar to provide leadership and guidance on future overseas mission work. We continue a prayerful and financial link with the All Saints Health Clinic in Nyakarmabi in Uganda.
