At the moment the three parishes have one OLM Curate, one Reader and two Readers Emeriti, eight ALM - five trained in Worship, two trained in Pastoral Care and one trained in Prayer and Spirituality.

11 Finances Each church has its own Treasurer and Church Council. Each parish is responsible for their parish expenditure and payment of parish share. Our joint income is approximately 200,000 per annum. Parish share due last year was 155,319 collectively of which 85,728 was paid collectively. Both St John and St James have had major works to the church buildings affecting the parish share paid. All five churches are deemed viable by Manchester Diocese. Westhoughton parish was required to seek its own charity status two years ago, under diocesan and charity legislation. Both Wingates and Westhoughton held a major stewardship campaign three years ago which saw time, talents and income increase as a direct result. St James is due to hold theirs shortly. Gift Aid is an asset across all our churches and more and more are giving by direct debit or standing order. Fund raising is recognised as a priority. Regular stewardship events are ongoing. Full parish accounts for all three parishes are available upon request. 11

14 St James Daisy Hill Parish attributes The church maintains very close links with our large two tier primary school of 450 pupils, which lies just across the street, the Old school hall being the original meeting room for worship in the parish. St. James the Great St. James the Great St. James the Great The Team Vicar will be a member ex-officio of the Governing Body of St James school. A regular dialogue is kept with the Head Teachers and children, and their parents are actively encouraged to attend church. There are also many church members on the Governing Body including a PCC representative Governor. The children in the later years attend church for a short service every Wednesday morning in the school year. We currently hold PCC meetings and some fundraising events in the school. Our relationship with the school is one of the cornerstones of our future as a parish church in Daisy Hill, and provides an important channel to reach out to parents and children who do not currently attend our church services. Eatock Primary School is a new school built in the parish several years ago to cope with the growing demand. It has 180 children on roll and is state funded. The school makes frequent visits to church. St James Church is in the modern Catholic tradition which recognises the importance of the Ministry of the word, but places equal importance on the sacramental life of the Church. Eucharistic vestments are worn at most services with servers in attendance; a talented resident organist; and a full choir, coached by a former pupil of St James School who progressed to be an international lead with the Royal Opera, Covent Garden, and has now returned to live and worship in her home village of Daisy Hill. We subscribe to the seven sacraments recognised by the universal church. We have a thriving Sunday School which meets in the School Hall just across the road. The children join the Sunday service at the beginning of the Eucharistic prayer. 14

15 Daisy Hill Parish attributes We support: Winter Watch, The Children s Society and Christian Aid. We encourage Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Rainbows, Brownies and Guides. We have a prayer and healing group. We have currently one Reader Emeritus and one Authorised Lay Minister. We have a hard working Fundraising, Social and Outreach Committee which arranges concerts, fundraising events and generally gets more people involved with the life of our church. We also have committees for building, finance and worship. It is our long term hope and intention to open up our building to the community and create a meeting room which can be used by church and outside parties and provide toilet facilities. We have disabled access. St James Church and vicarage are at the heart of Daisy Hill village which has a chemist, post office, three off-licences/ general stores, two public houses, resident artist, an independent community hall, plus a football and cricket club and a local dance school. The church is situated in the village of Daisy Hill close to new large private housing developments. We are mindful of our need to meet our parish share in full again and we continue to take advice from the Diocese on both stewardship and fund raising and are planning a stewardship campaign in February Daisy Hill Cricket Club St James old school Westhoughton Cricket Club Daisy Hill Football Club Daisy Hill Recreation 15

About half of the congregation lives outside the parish though mostly within the area of the new team ministry.

A shared meal is often held after a Sunday service. There are close and warm links within the various groups and members support each other in times of crisis. Many of these groups have grown up from Alpha courses. Continuous pastoral ministry has been provided by the OLM, Reader, ALM s and Lay Assistants. There is a Lay Pastoral & Healing Prayer Team in place. Many older members of the congregation have known each other all their lives. We have a Brownie group which meets in church and a Rainbow group is planned. In the past 18 months, the church building has been extensively refurbished, outside and in. Pews have been removed to create a flexible worship space, allowing new opportunities for church and community. We now have seating for 200. A new sound system has been installed. It is planned to complete our renovation project by installing a dais in front of the Chancel steps and re-carpeting the Chancel. In the 1980 s the foyer was created at the west end to provide a separate meeting area including a kitchen and toilet facility. We are accessible for wheelchairs. THE AIM OF THE PARISH is: to grow in love, in faith, in spirituality, and in the number of committed Christians Our vision for the future is to implement this aim. 17 Rev Vince & Christine Radford St Johns choir Live music at St Johns Refresh at St Johns St John s Chancel
