Team Rector in Sutton Parish

Team Ministry

Someone who will use their gifts and minister across the

team, taking particular pastoral responsibility as Team

Vicar for St. Michael and All Angels Church.

St. Helens and the Parish of Sutton

The parish is in the town of St. Helens, North West England, and lies approximately 10 and

21 miles respectively, as the crow flies, from Liverpool and Manchester. Although close to

these two major cities St. Helens retains its own individuality. The town is well served by

motorway, major roads and rail networks. Liverpool and Manchester airports are within easy

reach of the town also.

Sutton is situated on the south of the town and encompasses the localities of Sutton Manor,

Clock Face, Marshalls Cross, Peasley Cross, Sutton Village and the New Bold Estate. The

parish is predominantly residential, though there are small industrial and commercial areas.

The parish includes the whole of the local authority ward of Sutton and parts of Bold, Parr,

Thatto Heath and Town Centre wards. Just over 23,000 of the town's 175,000 population live

within the parish boundary. 23% of the population is aged under 18, 62% are between 18 and

65 years of age and 15% are over 65. 97% of the residents are white British. In the last census

78% of the residents stated they were Christian, 15% had no religious beliefs and 6% gave no

answer.

11% of over 65s live alone and 6% have never worked or are long term unemployed. 10% of

households are “lone–parents” with dependent children. There are above average numbers of

families regarded as living in low income households.

About the Parish

The three churches - St. Nicholas, All Saints and St. Michael and All Angels are a single

parish team. Each church has a D.C.C responsible for the management for that church and

each D.C.C appoints 7 representatives to serve on the 21 member P.C.C. Sutton’s Team’s

strength is its diversity; each church respecting different traditions and valuing strong

ecumenical links.

Our parish also has very strong links with our church school. The strength of our

relationships with staff and children was recently acknowledged in our Church School

Partnership Award. This relationship is valued and cherished by both church and school alike

and we look to our next rector to build on this good foundation.

Page 3: Team Rector in Sutton Parish Team Ministry · Team Rector in Sutton Parish Team Ministry Someone who will use their gifts and minister across the team, taking particular pastoral

The Clergy team consists of a Team Rector and one Team Vicar. Additionally we also

presently have a curate and there is one retired priest living in the parish. Revd. Mark Taylor

is our team vicar. Mark takes pastoral responsibility for St. Nicholas Church and All Saints

Church.

Our Team Curate is Revd. Dan Langdon-Griffiths. Dan exercises his ministry in all three

churches across the team. He recently began his third year of curate training.

Revd. Maureen Harrison is a retired OLM priest who lives in the parish. Maureen has

recently applied to the Bishop for permission to officiate and is willing to provide assistance

with services on an occasional basis.

In addition to the clergy, our ministry team includes 2 Licensed Lay Ministers. Mrs. Ann

Griffiths is a member of St. Nicholas' Church, is a choir member and P.C.C. secretary. Her

reader ministry is exercised across the team as a whole. Mr. Stephen Bridge is the

Community Pioneer Leader for St. Michael and All Angels and this work is focused there,

though his reader ministry is exercised across the whole parish.

The ministry team currently operates a worship rota which allows clergy and readers to take

services at all three churches. This is a relatively recent innovation, but it has proven popular

with congregations and helpful in exercising a shared ministry together.

In addition to the team above, each of the churches has a group of people who assist in

various ways from reading lessons, to occasional leading of services.

Whist working across the whole Team the Rector would take pastoral responsibility for St.

Michael and All Angels church.

· A person who has the ability to communicate with different age groups and

people of all abilities including children, young people and their families and

who can encourage growth in discipleship and numbers;

· Someone with energy and vision who will support and enhance our visions

across the parish and help enhance our ministries and step into new and

powerful ones;

visible presence throughout the parish whilst showing pastoral care for all.

· A Team Rector who is sensitive to helping us change;

· A capable and well organised manager of the business of the parish;

· A person who is willing to work alongside the PCC and DCCs to achieve our dreams.

What Can We Offer?

· A people who are friendly, loving, caring and who want to support you.

· Prayerful support for you in your role.

· Lay involvement in all aspects of ministry across the parish. · A PCC which includes members of each DCC, a Parish Treasurer; two

Wardens and a Treasurer at each church.

· A guarantee to respect your days off, holidays and training/reading times.

· The payment of all reasonable expenses.

· A modern, 4-bedroomed Rectory, with views across open countryside towards the St.

Helens Dream Sculpture.

Ecumenical Links

Our ecumenical links are strong in Sutton; the local clergy meet on a monthly basis, and

Ecumenical Prayers take place on the first Tuesday of the month. Joint Worship is also

valued during Holy Week, the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity and other occasions

through the year.

Page 5: Team Rector in Sutton Parish Team Ministry · Team Rector in Sutton Parish Team Ministry Someone who will use their gifts and minister across the team, taking particular pastoral

Wider Parish Matters

There is a Parish Office, located in the Parish Hall next to St. Nicholas Church. We have a

part-time Parish Administrator, Ann Glacki, who works Monday to Friday in the

mornings, providing a point of contact for the general public as well as administrative and

records support for clergy and parish functions.

We are in the process of re-developing our Parish Bereavement Team which provides

support to the clergy in keeping continued contact with the bereaved. As part of our

continued pastoral care for the bereaved we hold two Memorial Services annually.

The Context For Ministry

St. Helens is a progressive, forward looking and supportive deanery and each parish in

the deanery is part of a team, group or cluster. There are no plans to reduce the clergy

allocation in Sutton.

Full clergy expenses are paid, holidays and days off are expected to be taken and clergy

are supported in taking time for Staff days, CME, reading and personal development.

Sutton Oak School

Our Church School holds a special place in the life of our parish. All members of the

school are familiar with All Saints Church or, as they call it 'their church'. A recent SIAMS

interim report identified the excellent links between the school and both clergy and other

members of the parish. We hope our next rector will be keen to support and nurture the

wonderful reservoir of Christian love in the school.

Currently our curate visits school to lead assemblies at least 4 times per term, as well as

holding services in All Saints Church at the beginning and end of each term. Alongside

this, the school often asks for our guidance and input in their own worship and in lessons,

particularly Religious Education.

We enjoy mutual love and flourishing with our church school and we look forward to the

growth and new life that the vision and enthusiasm of our next rector may bring to this

fertile ground.

Would you like to join in with our excitement in moving forward?

About the Area The church of St. Michael & All Angels is situated between Sutton Manor and Clock Face in

the Sutton area of St. Helens. The Dream statue which is clearly visible from the M62

motorway is also visible from the church and the vicarage and is an inspiration to us.

Both Sutton Manor and Clock Face were mining villages with the pit at Sutton Manor.

This mining heritage is an important part of local history.

There are three main areas which include Four Acre as well as Sutton Manor and Clock

Face. There is a mix of social housing and privately owned houses. However, new homes

have been built for private ownership and this has changed the demographic profile slightly.

Many of the population are employed in low paid unskilled work with this being the single

income for the household. There is a mix of couples, singles and families and a large

number of older residents. Child poverty, pensioner poverty, working age poverty and lone

parenthood in this area are among the highest in the country.

There are two schools in the area, Sutton Manor Primary School and Willow Tree School. Our

Community Pioneer Leader (CPL) is developing links with Sutton Manor and leads

assemblies each month and hopes to take a team in from St. Michael’s to set up a ‘Messy

Church’ type ministry. The school has recently started to come to St. Michael’s to celebrate

Easter, Harvest, Christmas etc. and we hope to encourage them to come into the church more.

The CPL will also be looking at linking with Willow Tree once the new head is in post.

Would you come and share with us in our work in our community?

About the Church

St. Michael & All Angels is a loving, friendly, welcoming and caring family; we are inclusive,

but not exclusive. We are small in number but huge in our dreams and aspirations for the

church in our community.

On the first three Sundays we have a service at 9.30 am which is either a Celebration, Holy

Communion, Breaking of Bread or All Age Worship/Communion (average attendance of 20 – 22

people).

On the fourth Sunday we have begun to hold a Healing Service at 5.00 pm instead of the 9.30 am

service. This is a fairly new venture but one we would wish to develop and grow.

After a period of lying dormant which we

believe was a time of pruning, new growth

has now begun. People have rediscovered

their joy and expectation is high that a

new chapter has begun to take shape. A

key part has been the emphasis on

discipleship which had slipped away.

St. Michael’s is equipped with a sound

system and projector. Most services are

enhanced by PowerPoint presentation and

music is provided using the internet or CD’s;

occasionally a Christian rock band, Cenacle,

who we support financially each month, come and lead the music worship. We are hoping to

arrange for them to hold concerts here for the local community.

We have been praying for a Worship

Leader who will be able to lead us using

more live music. The usual style of

worship is modern and contemporary and

often includes discussions as part of the

sermon series and café style worship. The

person preaching is asked to provide

questions for use in the Cell Groups during

the week.

Page 11: Team Rector in Sutton Parish Team Ministry · Team Rector in Sutton Parish Team Ministry Someone who will use their gifts and minister across the team, taking particular pastoral

8

During the week we have a Reflection at 12.00 noon each Tuesday following our Coffee and

Craft group. Around one third of the people who come into the Reflection do not attend any other

church at any other time. This is led by members of the church each week.

We believe that prayer is one of the basics of discipleship and that corporate prayer is important.

Therefore, we meet each Saturday to spend time together in prayer and reflection. We have also

introduced prayer walking in small groups around the parish. This has been exciting as we have

been blessed with visions and promises from the Lord in our time together.

The Community Pioneer Leader is dedicated to continuing the work already in place in St.

Michael’s and to also opening up new ventures such as partnership with Helena Partnership and

Safer Families in addition to working in schools and other parts of the community. Sutton Manor

School now welcomes a monthly assembly led by the CPL and other church members. Children,

staff and parents also come into the church for special services. This is something that we are

looking to develop further.

We believe our strengths are that we are

loving, caring, united, willing, prayerful,

open to the Spirit’s prompting, preparing for

the future and hopeful. We are growing in

discipleship in our Craft group and in our

prayer life and spiritually through our

sermon series and Cell Groups.

We know some of our weaknesses to be our

few numbers, overstretching to

accommodate others, ageing congregation,

lack of young people and families.

Some of our weaknesses are being addressed

including a new initiative we would like to

introduce called Project 101+. This was born

out of a chance remark that when numbers

in a church electoral roll reach 100, the church is allowed another Deanery Synod representative.

The Community Pioneer Leader had a vision immediately that we should have a target to reach

101, not for the extra representative but a definite target to aim for as a church.

Page 12: Team Rector in Sutton Parish Team Ministry · Team Rector in Sutton Parish Team Ministry Someone who will use their gifts and minister across the team, taking particular pastoral

9

But of course, we do not want to limit a powerful

God so the + was added. We realise that this is a

very big dream, but we have a very big God …..

Interestingly the number of people who attended

the final service of our previous vicar was – 101!

Would you like to help us reach 101 +

every week not just on special occasions?

The Church and Community No weddings have been held at St. Michael’s for some years and funerals are infrequent.

Baptisms are organised through the Sutton Parish Office and take place during a service. The

Sutton Parish has ecumenical links with all the Christian churches in the area.

The community is becoming more

aware of our work through things like

Summer or Christmas fairs, groups

using our facilities and our partnership

with Helena Partnership. We have a

heart to move out into the community

in order to develop this work.

Each week we have user groups who

come to use our facilities. In addition to

the Coffee and Craft on Tuesday

morning, we also have Brownies and

Guides on Tuesday evening, a local art

group on Wednesday afternoon,

Rainbows on Wednesday evening and

Mature Matters (knit and natter) on Thursday

afternoon. We also have a parish council who

use the facilities every six weeks and various

other occasional groups.

Page 13: Team Rector in Sutton Parish Team Ministry · Team Rector in Sutton Parish Team Ministry Someone who will use their gifts and minister across the team, taking particular pastoral

10

As the Community Pioneer Leader’s office is located in the church, this means that the

church can be open every day except Thursday and Saturday afternoons. Members of the

community are encouraged to come in, spend time in quiet if they wish, ask questions etc.

Would you like to help us develop the links we have with the community

and grow them?

The Building

St. Michael’s was built in the early 1950’s and has had some modifications since that time.

The building is in a very good state of repair and decoration. The sanctuary has bib folding

doors in front of it so that, when not in use as a church, the space can be used for

community work.

We also have a small hall at the back of the church and a

dedicated prayer room where anyone is free to go and spend

some quiet time.

The church is set in a plot of land which has lawned areas to

the front with hedges.

We are in the process of putting plans together to reorder the

entrance to make it more welcoming and to make it easier to use the

spaces we have in the building.

There is a fully equipped kitchen and it is hoped that,

by creating a hatch in the wall, in the future we can use

the small hall to provide a café for the community.

And then …. the big one …. we would love to outgrow

our building and we can then extend on to the land which

surrounds the church.

Do you see yourself as being able to help lead and encourage us as

we grow in discipleship and numbers?

ST NICHOLAS CHURCH, SUTTON

St. Nicholas Church has been at the centre of life in the Parish of Sutton since it was built in

1849. It is a grade II listed building. Many people from the area hold the place in high

regard, although they are no longer regular church attenders. Thus we have recently

introduced a variety of new projects to both widen and rebuild our links with the

community of today. Our aim is to ensure that our ministry remains as meaningful to

today’s local community as when the church was built. Underlying all we do, we seek to

provide meaningful and sincere Christian worship, and to share the great gospel message of

the Kingdom of God, and the wonderful love of God, with our neighbours.

The Church itself benefits from a stunning setting. It has the advantage of a large church

hall on site, which caters for a wide range of activities. Worship at our two Sunday

services alternates between Sung Eucharist, Family Prayer and Praise and Family Holy

Communion in the mornings, and between Choral Evensong and Sung Eucharist in the

evenings; although we are open to new ideas to enhance our worship. We have an

excellent choir and host a number of special services and other events throughout the year.

Church Buildings

St. Nicholas is a beautiful Victorian sandstone building. As with buildings of a similar age,

it constantly requires maintenance and so we have regular working parties to undertake

smaller jobs and care for its fabric. These also provide a great chance for fellowship, and

also involvement of a wider variety of people who are loosely linked with church life.

Weekly cleaning is undertaken on a voluntary rota basis. A major extension was built

twenty years ago and provides a range of modern amenities. More recently we have

modernised our heating and lighting. One of the joys of the church is its fine Father Willis organ, which is regularly used in worship, and is kept well maintained.

Page 15: Team Rector in Sutton Parish Team Ministry · Team Rector in Sutton Parish Team Ministry Someone who will use their gifts and minister across the team, taking particular pastoral

12

A large separate hall building is located next to the church, and we are in the process of

applying for a grant to update its facilities. Over its fifty year life, it has been a great

resource for mission, and we are now seeking ways to use this more to engage with the

local and wider communities, as well as an income generator. Adjoining this is a large car

park. Next to the hall is the local Scout Headquarters. The various uniformed organisations

which use this and the hall are encouraged to attend “Parade” services, though this depends

on individual group leaders.

The church sits in the landscaped surroundings of the Parish graveyard, which is the

responsibility of the parish rather than St. Nicholas. This provides a beautiful setting for

weddings. It is cared for by a part--‐time worker.

Church as people

Worship at our two Sunday services is in the middle--‐of--‐the--‐road tradition, and held at

10.30am and 6.30pm. These alternate between Eucharistic (Common Worship) and

services of the word; Evensong being taken from the Book of Common Prayer, and

morning services being a family Prayer and Praise Service. Normal attendance across the

two services is around 60. There is also a Thursday morning Holy Communion service.

The beauty and meaning of our worship is enhanced by an excellent four--‐part harmony choir,

affiliated to the Royal School of Church Music, which includes a thriving junior section.

Choir practices themselves are a time of fellowship as well as fun and challenging, as we

continually learn new music to sing and praise God.

Sunday 10.30 Family Service

Page 16: Team Rector in Sutton Parish Team Ministry · Team Rector in Sutton Parish Team Ministry Someone who will use their gifts and minister across the team, taking particular pastoral

14

In recent years, we have actively increased the involvement of the laity in Sunday

worship. We have rotas for reading the Bible passages, as well as writing and delivering

the prayers. Since our last interregnum, we have had increased involvement of laity both

in leading services and preaching. A recent initiative has been our Children’s Chapel to

help younger people during worship.

The

Children’s

Chapel being

used in a

Baptism

service

We also have a Sunday School which was rebranded as the FLAG Club (Fun, Learning

and Games) in the 1990’s. Unfortunately attendance at this has declined in recent times.

Small group discipleship meetings for adults have fallen by the wayside over recent years

and this is something we wish to build up again.

A variety of special services are held, including “Parade” services to which the uniformed

organisations are invited. These, and the crowning of the Rose Queen, which all take

place during the 10.30am family service, provide opportunities to involve children and

their families who are on the periphery of the church.

Queen for

2016 was

July when the

Rose Queen

for 2015

retired

Page 17: Team Rector in Sutton Parish Team Ministry · Team Rector in Sutton Parish Team Ministry Someone who will use their gifts and minister across the team, taking particular pastoral

15

Whilst not a civic church, our Annual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, and

Remembrance services provide further opportunities to engage with members of the local

community and town. The church has been host to a number of excellent concerts in recent

years, both from people within the church and from external groups.

One of the

Junior Choir

concerts held

in the church

The church and the community St. Nicholas has always had the majority of weddings and funerals in the parish, although

numbers continue to decrease yearly. Baptisms are currently shared in rotation with the

other two churches in the parish. As our setting provides an attractive location for couples

wishing to be married we feel more could be made to advertise this, for example at

wedding fairs.

The church has always had good links with its two local community primary schools,

though these could be strengthened and utilised further. Several new initiatives have been started recently using the

church hall as a base,

including Coffee

Morning, PramPushers (a

mums’ and toddlers’

group), the Church Shop

and Messy Church. These

have varying degrees of

missional activity

inherent within them.

PramPushers also

meets in the Hall

There is a home communion rota which involves lay people giving communion to

members of the church who are unable to attend because of illness and mobility issues.

A monthly outings club is enjoyed by retired members of the church.

having a presence on social media --‐ Facebook and Twitter.

All Saints Church.

Worship at All Saints is mainly Eucharistic with vestments, however new forms of

worship have been introduced and well received. We are considered to be a warm and

friendly church with a location at the heart of our community.

We have a strong link with Sutton Oak Primary School – our Parish School. We host

regular services for school at Easter, Christmas and at the open and close of each school

term. We also do much of our missional outreach in partnership with school by for

instance hosting a Christmas party for children from poorer backgrounds and by

providing family food hampers to families who need a little extra assistance over the

Christmas holiday.

Hospitality and Fun

At All Saints,

we have a

variety of fun

social activities

that take place

throughout the

week.

o All Saints Cafe is open on Wednesday

Mornings from 11am, with hot drinks, toast or cheese-

on-toast being made to order.

o 8th Sutton Beavers meet on Wednesday nights

during term time.

o Gentle Exercise Class meets on Monday afternoons. o We also hold regular seasonal fayres, bingo evenings and festival meals.

Page 20: Team Rector in Sutton Parish Team Ministry · Team Rector in Sutton Parish Team Ministry Someone who will use their gifts and minister across the team, taking particular pastoral

18

Worship at All Saints

We meet together for worship several times throughout the week.

Sunday 11.15am - Principal Sunday Service. Either Holy Communion or Service

of the Word. Wednesday 9.30am - Prayer meeting. We meet in prayer before the start

of our busiest day of the week

10.30m - Mid Week Service. Holy Communion order two in

traditional language.

Thursday 9.30 - Toddler Church. Term time Toddlers' Messy Church group for

youngsters and their parents.

Our Building

All Saints has a Grade 2 listed

building, built in 1892 and

particularly benefits from its

location in the centre of Sutton

Village, adjacent to the shops

and Church School (Sutton Oak.)

Work on the building has been

completed and the narthex is

widely used by the community,

and benefits from disabled

facilities. Recently there has

been an upgrade to the windows

and lighting.

Treasurer's Foreward

The above accounts have been prepared, wherever possible on an income and expenditure basis. In the main they consist of an

aggregation of two parish accounts and three individual church accounts. There were several intra parish transactions and we have

ensured that these amounts are accounted for in only one of the constituent accounts – this has avoided double accounting for these

items.

The St. Nicholas Parish Hall was valued at the1st April 1997
