When churches closed the Draycote benefice showed God’s love in to our communities in other ways. We’re sharing information in our social media groups, liaising with parish councils to co-ordinate volunteers and spending a lot more time on the phone. We have also embraced online meetings, services and prayers and are promoting live streamed services, updating our website regularly on changing circumstance. Our villages have pulled together in inspiring ways and many people have volunteered to offer both practical and emotional support. This emergency will change us all and will change the way church operates and we know we need to be ready for this. We are responding to changing circumstances and our congregations needs by holding in church and online worship according to our risk assessment of the current situation. 1. Deanery summary The Rugby Deanery is situated to the North and East of the County of Warwickshire. It shares a border with the Diocese of Leicester to the North and the Diocese of Peterborough to the East and is one of the largest Deaneries in the Diocese. There are 29 Parishes varying from urban to rural. Most of the population resides in the town of Rugby and its suburban housing estates (around 70,000 according to 2011 census data) with another 30,000 living in the surrounding areas. This number is increasing rapidly. There is a lot of new housing planned in the Deanery, not least of all the Houlton development on the old Rugby BT mast site, Long Lawford and in the area between Bilton and Dunchurch – to name just a few. Much of this work has already begun. Rugby was the first deanery in the diocese to formulate a Deanery Plan. One of the major issues this plan takes into consideration is the implementation of a new system for determining parish share in the deanery. This was finally implemented for 2020 although the effect of the current time on parish and deanery finances is yet to be fully seen. The new system is more equitable and easier to understand. Over all, the plan gives a framework for the closer working together of parishes on issues of mutual concern and enables us to look at mission and ministry in a more cohesive way in a quickly changing environment. It is a document that will change as need and situations change around the deanery. 2 Due to all the new housing and infrastructure being built across the town, along with 5 clergy vacancies in the deanery, the process of drawing up a second deanery plan to shape the church for mission began in November of 2019. We felt that there was a major opportunity to make some much-needed alterations to parish and benefice structures. There is currently a major consultation going on with parishes discussing how aspects of the plan will affect them. The results of these discussions and eventual decisions is, at this point, not known, but it is the hope of the DMPC that there will be a major reordering of our rural areas into larger benefices with two clergy working in each. In the case of the Draycote Benefice this will include the appointment of a full-time stipendiary priest. This will be the first phase in a multi-phase process of reordering which will include bringing together the benefices of Draycote and Leam Valley and that of Ryton into a larger rural group with the successful candidate for this post being the Incumbent and a full-time Associate Minister (to be appointed later) working together across a benefice of nine parishes. The clergy will work together closely bringing complementary gifts and experience to encourage the churches in this new grouping in their mission and ministry. A key element of this plan is the development of lay people, recognising, training and releasing the missionary energies of existing church members while encouraging those on the fringes to engage more with what the churches are doing. This new plan is wide-ranging and complex and we appreciate that we may be appointing someone to an environment where the sand is shifting, but we are putting our trust in God to show us the way forward. Surprisingly this period of consultation has been something that we have been able to make good progress on during this time of the pandemic when so many other things have been laid aside. There has in recent years been a growing desire for both Clergy and Laity to work more closely together in the deanery. There have been a number of initiatives that have helped us do this. A Church Wardens’ Forum meets quarterly to discuss areas of mutual concern and to hear talks on various subjects from diocesan staff and others. It has also proved to be a good forum for wardens to give one another support and share information and give the benefit of experience to others. Under normal circumstances the Deanery Chapter would meet once a month for lunch, prayer and support. During lockdown we have had weekly Zoom meetings. As things have been picking up a little we have reduced these to fortnightly. We are quite a large group (18 when all posts are filled) which makes for a great atmosphere. There is always much fun and laughter at our meetings! Before lockdown, the previous two years have seen the chapter focussing more on prayer and mutual support and it tries to keep business brief and to a minimum. The result of this has been a deeper drawing together of clergy in the Deanery. In previous years we have shared together in a pastoral/team building exercise by having a day trip on a canal barge with pub lunch. Rugby Deanery is a great place to live and to work and we hope that you seriously consider applying for this post. You can find out a little more about the deanery and all the deaneries in the diocese by viewing the deanery video here: http://dioceseofcoventry.org/index.php?page_ref=1639 Tim Cockell, Area Dean of Rugby 3 2. Our vision and values Our vision is to work with one heart to become examples that inspire our communities to come to faith and share the transformative power of God’s love. The commitment of the churchwardens and PCCs and the involvement of many lay community members enables the four parishes to co-ordinate worship, community events and pastoral care. We work together as a team to put our vision into practice with energy and enthusiasm, showing creativity, respect and sensitivity. We work closely with the Church of England Primary school in the benefice to nurture the Christian faith in our young people. As a benefice we have developed a number of initiatives to encourage more people to become involved in the life of the church. This is an ongoing challenge which we are working on with the commitment of the PCC’s and others. All four churches are deeply valued by our communities. In normal they are all open every day for people to worship, pray or simply sit quietly. We have a sense of togetherness within the benefice to achieve our mission and a strong desire to meet the needs of all people, wherever they are on the journey of faith. We are seeking someone who will join us for the long term, thereby avoiding the disruptive pattern of going from incumbent to vacancy to incumbent. We put our trust in God that he will lead the right person to us who will help us bring about a period of stability and growth. 3. The Role The purpose of this post is to lead the Draycote Benefice to help us fulfil our mission. This can be achieved by the development of the eight essential qualities in the life of a healthy church; • Empowering leadership • Holistic small groups • Gift orientated Ministry • Need orientated outreach • Passionate spirituality • Loving relationships • Inspiring worship • Functional structures The post is full-time stipendiary.

    THE DRAYCOTE BENEFICE The Parishes of Birdingbury, Bourton and Draycote, Frankton And Stretton on Dunsmore with Princethorpe PARISH PROFILE Page 1 of 20 BISHOP’S INTRODUCTION The Draycote benefice is a good example of how a rural, multi-parish benefice can thrive during an interregnum! They have built on good foundations and developed some excellent lay-led initiatives across the benefice which are already bearing good fruit. They are looking for a leadership style which seeks to train and empower them further. They have a heart for the gospel in a rural context and want to be missional, which is hugely encouraging. Indeed, they are not just planning to reach out to their communities in the future, they have already begun a number of missional activities and events. I have been impressed by the lay leadership I have seen in the Draycote group. The wardens and different parish churches work well together. They have tried hard to make this role do-able, and I believe it will be enjoyable and stimulating working with them. They are genuinely open to trying new things. The only significant contention I have picked up is about the location of the vicarage, which has now been approved by all the PCCs. Undoubtedly, finding a suitable vicarage within the benefice has been difficult. A suitable property has been found in a nearby village, but the time taken to purchase and refurbish this has resulted in a longer vacancy than they had originally anticipated, so there is now a feeling of becoming tired without dedicated spiritual leadership.

    Morning Calm House Bourton Lane | Birdingbury | Rugby | Warwickshire | CV23 9QP MORNING CALM HOUSE “We first viewed Morning Calm House around 20 years ago and we were immediately impressed by the superb design across 3 split levels. We still think that it’s a completely unique, one off family home,” say the current owners. Morning Calm House is a superbly appointed detached residence, styled with a mock-Tudor appearance. The property is a complete one-off architect designed triple split-level home, built by the renowned builders “Parker Lake Homes”. Throughout the property careful consideration has been given to provide an individual home with the architect saying “He walked the land before designing this innovative property”. This provides well-proportioned five bed roomed accommodation which has been elegantly appointed throughout with Ash doors and woodwork, decorative coving, dado rails, integrated sound system by AMI and a central Beam vacuum system. From the arched Oak double front doors the scene is set for the first class standard found within. Ground Floor Opening the oak double doors into the reception hall you are immediately impressed by the galleried landing, Amtico tiled flooring, decorative coving and picture rails. From the hall all the main reception rooms are accessed. The main room to the ground floor is undoubtedly the superb hand built German kitchen, with its Granite worktops, bespoke cupboards, built in rangemaster by Britannia and high end appliances. The split level open plan leads to the breakfast room which also has French doors leading to its own private garden area.
