3 A WORD FROM THE BISHOP OF EBBSFLEET Dear Reader: The two communities, that have set out in this profile their call to priests, who have been formed in the catholic tradition in the Church of England and are excited about its future, to join them in serving the Lord in Hasland and Temple Normanton, share many characteristics and hopes for the future, not the least being their unity and welcome. Among the fruits of Fr Ainscough s long ministry here ( ) is their openness both to the spiritual leadership and teaching of their parish priest and to the needs and opportunities of the wider church. But their able and diverse laity have a growing sense also of the shared mission of clergy and people, and of the challenges of community evangelism. They are imaginative and forward-looking in terms of communication and outreach, dedicated to growing in and sharing with others the rich spiritual treasures of catholic faith, worship and evangelism, and to supporting one another as a real family in Christ. I pray that as you read you will remain open to the possibility that it is indeed you whom God is calling, and that if He is then you will apply so that we have the opportunity to take the conversation further. We re praying for you please pray for us. +JONATHAN FOREWORD As Bishop of Ebbsfleet's Representative in the Diocese of Derby, I would like to commend most strongly the parishes of Hasland and Temple Normanton for your consideration. They are vibrant, growing churches, committed to the task of bringing in the Kingdom of God and caring for their communities. There are exciting opportunities for their new priest to lead them on the next stage of their journey of faith. As parishes of the Society, they are important centres of traditional Catholic teaching and practice. As you read this Profile, we invite you to discover more about the people of the parishes and hear their stories and aspirations. Perhaps God is calling you to be their priest. Fr Stephen Jones Rector of Staveley and Barrow Hill, Bishop of Ebbsfleet's Representative 1
4 INTRODUCTION Thank you for showing an interest in our parishes by reading our profile. We hope that by the time you have finished it you will feel as excited about the potential of these two parishes as we are. Overview: The Parishes of St Paul s, Hasland and St James, Temple Normanton are held in plurality, the incumbent being the Rector of the former and the Vicar of the latter. Both churches are members of the Society and have a tradition of modern catholic worship with vestments being worn and incense used. Each parish benefits from the ministry of an active Lay Reader. We share many common goals yet retain our independence. Both Parishes have the required number of Deanery Synod representatives who are proactive and report back to their PCC s. Both parishes pay their Common Fund in full every year and also show generosity in paying an additional amount towards the Diocesan shortfall. We have an online presence in our church website - stpaulshasland.com. Job and Person Specification: We are seeking a Society Priest who is eager to build on the foundations laid over the past 20 years. These include a commitment to growth, a strong sense of being family and a willingness to draw others into that family. A priest who is devoted to furthering our sacramental and spiritual development, whose devotional life is rooted in the daily office and mass and shares his life of prayer with our lady and all the saints. A priest who is willing to spend time in helping us address our challenges, being confident in his Faith and providing clear leadership in our discipleship, who will be willing to extend our commitment to outreach and pastoral care to all ages. A priest who will continue to enable and train the willing people of these churches to develop their own ministries within the Catholic ethos, and who has the organisational abilities to lead, manage and grow our Communities, showing warmth towards and understanding of the diversity of our Parishes. A priest who will bring warmth, humour and humanity to our parishes. For our part we will commit to pray for, support and work alongside our new priest. 2
5 The Parishes, the Society and Forward in Faith The Parishes of Hasland and Temple Normanton have passed the Resolution under the House of Bishops Declaration, and the Bishop of Derby has arranged for them to have the episcopal oversight of the Bishop of Ebbsfleet. They are parishes of the Society under the Patronage of Saint Wilfred and Saint Hilda and are committed to sharing in its fellowship and sacramental life, supporting and supported by the other parishes of the Society. The parishes are part of a closely grouped cluster of Society parishes within our deanery, including Calow, and Staveley and Barrow Hill. Each parish brings its own particular specialism to the cluster and we intend to continue to explore ways in which we can work together collaboratively to even greater effect. Examples of this so far are our shared training experiences in areas such as safeguarding and outreach into the community via for example remembrance ministries, mission action planning and involvement with young people in our schools and with Messy Church. The parishes warmly embrace the Five Guiding Principles of the Declaration and are committed to the highest possible degree of communion with the Diocese and Deanery. Under the Declaration, we have our theological convictions regarding episcopal and priestly ministry respected. Where those convictions permit, we are full and active members of our Diocese and Deanery. We accept the House of Bishops call that those of differing conviction will be committed to making it possible for each other to flourish. We are member parishes of Forward in Faith and support its contribution to the debates on faith and life in the Church of England. We seek a priest who is firm in our Catholic faith and practice and who can work with parishes of different traditions in an atmosphere of mutual respect and friendship. 3
6 THE DIOCESE OF DERBY AND THE DEANERY OF NORTHEAST DERBYSHIRE The Diocese The Diocese of Derby has established a renewed understanding of deaneries as a key strategic place for mission. We hold a vision to be growing: in depth, in numbers and in impact on all our communities learning: as disciples and through vocations. being outward facing: supporting local schools, serving our communities, engaging in the world and building links with the world church being healthy: in leadership, in structures, in finance. We have committed ourselves to work together, deepening our common life in service of Christ s presence in every community. The creation of eight new larger deaneries, and the appointment of an Area Dean to each (a half-time post), sit within Derby Diocesan strategic priorities as we seek to better enable growth and mission. Collaboration and partnership at every level and across all traditions wherever possible are key to this and it is hoped that a new priest would be willing to embrace such a vision and work alongside others to see it become a reality. The Deanery St James and St Paul s are part of the North East Derbyshire Deanery. The Deanery comprises 26 parishes, and an approximate population of 160,000. There are currently 2 Bishop s Mission Order communities in the Deanery, a newly-established arm of the Derby University Chaplaincy on its Chesterfield Campus and chaplaincy involvement at the Chesterfield Royal Hospital and Ashgate Hospice. In April 2018 we will be holding our first Deanery Day a day of worship, workshops and information designed to facilitate and encourage mission, training and the sharing of good practice between churches and to help people see how working together can lead to greater effectiveness in reaching our communities with the good news of God s Kingdom. We are looking forward to what may grow from this time together. Synod meets three times a year and St James and St Paul s both have committed Synod members who not only attend regularly but contribute positively to the on-going discussions about missional priorities and emerging Deanery life. Chapter meets monthly over lunch and time is spent in prayer, conversation, sharing news and concerns and seeking ways to intentionally support one another. Some Chapter meetings involve more formal thinking, discussion and presentation. St James and St Paul s have a significant part to play in Deanery life, sharing experience, wisdom, and resources across the church traditions as well as across the Society cluster of churches. The catholic approach to mission and evangelism is needed as a vital part of the life of the Deanery and we look forward to the new priest and both churches developing their Deanery role together. Karen Hamblin Area Dean 4
7 PARISH OF ST PAUL S, HASLAND A strong, robust church that proclaims its Faith and plans for the future. OUR VISION We are a growing church with a vision. Our vision is to be a Church which continues to look to the future, with a congregation united in worship and fellowship and sharing the desire to reach out beyond our walls and, with the help of our loving Father, to meet the spiritual needs of all those in our parish and community. View to the rear with organ OUR MISSION Our Church Mission has been shaped and developed by our Mission Action Plan a Diocesan initiative which we embraced wholeheartedly from its inception 5 years ago. Since the initiative began St Paul s has worked with great success, transferring the principles of MAP planning into concrete action in the community. All groups are still very active and, with the committed involvement of a large number of our Church Family, have expanded their remit into the national Big Local movement of which the Lay Reader of St Paul s and Church Warden of St James is the Chair. We now have four MAP groups which are: Mission and Worship The group devises non eucharistic services, for example a healing service and a service to celebrate the community. These usually take place twice a year and are very well attended. Members of the group, together with parents from the Church Family and the Rector, meet with parents to prepare them for the Baptism of their children. A Bible Study group has been set up who meet monthly for study/discussion. Study notes are provided in advance and guest leaders are invited from time to time: we would very much like to see this develop. 5
8 Communication The group has organised an exhibition to show the history of St. Paul s and produced a booklet about the history of the church. Members have arranged for the notice boards to be refitted and kept up-to-date and are looking at ways to attract a wider range of contributors to the Church Magazine. They are at present considering the best way to update channels of communication so that we can reach as wide an audience as possible with our news. This includes continuing to develop our website and looking at social media. Pastoral The group has established quarterly services in the four care homes in the Parish these services being very well supported by the wider Church Family. A dedicated service book has been produced and at which music is an integral part. These services are enjoyed and much appreciated by all. As well as praying for the sick by name at Mass, the group has produced prayer cards which can be given to the person being prayed for to remind them they are remembered. During the vacancy a system of house communion has been introduced: this operates on a monthly basis with authorised eucharistic ministers, in order to take communion to those who are unable to attend services due to age or ill-health. We would like this to continue after the vacancy has been filled. Community This MAP group launched our Singing for Pleasure group, which has now become so popular and successful it has spread its wings beyond the MAP umbrella. The singing for pleasure group meets in church to practise once a month and goes out into care homes, dementia cafés, the local coffee shop and out into the community in general. This whole area is something we would like to explore with our new priest. The group is now exploring ways to integrate further into the wider community and - together with the Communication group - to keep everyone in the Parish informed about church activities so that that they feel involved and connected. The group has set up the Hasland Area News website - still in its infancy -as a free practical information service for all. MAP and the future We would be happy to share our expertise and experiences with other parishes in the Deanery, the Diocese of Derby and the Ebbsfleet group of parishes. We would welcome the chance to review our MAP progress with our new priest, with a view to moving forward in the initiative. 6
9 LOCATION The Parish is situated amidst beautiful countryside in the centre of England, in the extreme north- east of the Diocese of Derby. It lies just south of the busy market town of Chesterfield with its cinema, sports centre, theatres and other amenities. It is within a ten-minute drive of the M1 motorway, 30 minutes from Sheffield and 40 minutes from Derby. There are excellent bus links both with town and country and a railway station for links with further afield. Chesterfield Market Square The beautiful Peak District National Park is on the doorstep with its many amenities. Summer in Dovedale 7
10 THE PARISH Hasland and Grassmoor are large villages, each with its own strong sense of identity. Each has a viable, lively shopping centre offering a post office, a small supermarket with late night opening, a petrol station, a park both of which have been upgraded in recent years as well as Doctors Surgeries and Dental Practices. There is a NHS hospital within easy reach. Grassmoor has a modern community centre. Hasland s village hall is situated in the park. There is a thriving theatre group whose productions are presented in Hasland s small theatre. An infant school, two primary schools and a secondary school are situated in the Parish; each are rated by OFSTED as good. St Mary s Roman Catholic High School is also within easy reach. South Chesterfield Golf Club lies within the Parish. The parish population is growing and stands in excess of 10,000. It is a settled yet developing area, with a mixture of housing, some older and long established and some of more recent construction. Further development is presently under construction with more planned. We have no church presence in Grassmoor at the moment but would love there to be one.

11 THE RECTORY The rectory is sited adjacent to the church. It is a substantial, modern four bedroomed detached house, with extensive and well-kept lawned gardens, and is centrally heated and alarmed. There are two reception rooms, a large, light, airy kitchen, a utility room, a study, a family bathroom, two WC s, and each of the four bedrooms has a built-in wardrobe. The Rectory also has an integral garage and ample parking and turning space, with easy access to the church building. 9
12 THE CHURCH St Paul s Church was consecrated in 1850 and is a member of the Society and Forward in Faith with a tradition of modern Catholic worship. In addition to the committed and active Lay Reader, there is a team of servers and eucharistic ministers, a robed choir made up of members of the congregation and an organist. At Sunday Mass a rota of lay people read the lessons and lead the intercessions. Building The Church building is roughly equidistant from the centres of Hasland and Grassmoor on the B6038 which connects the two. It is accessible and well maintained outside and inside and stands in attractive and beautifully kept church grounds. The church is in good order, with regular maintenance being carried out and nothing outstanding. The last quinquennial inspection was in The churchyard is closed to burial but open to burial of ashes and is well maintained. The light and airy church interior provides a tranquil setting for worship. The church is open 7 days a week and people often call in during the day to use the church for private prayer and to light candles. The Blessed Sacrament is reserved. 10
13 Communications: There is a weekly pew sheet, a monthly magazine, a parish website -web address given on Page 1 - and an annual report. There are large noticeboards in the porch as well as a smaller one at the lichgate. Finance and Charitable Giving: The church finances are in a healthy state. The Common Fund is paid by direct debit in full and on time each year. More details can be found in the appendices and within the annual report which is available on request. There is a tradition of sponsoring a selected charity to learn about and to support each year. Young People: Our Young People s Group operates now independently of the Mission Action Plan groups. Regular meetings are held with Sunday School leaders to plan and review the programme with the view to increasing Sunday School attendance. In addition, the co-ordinators work with the Hasland Methodist Church to organise Messy Church sessions regularly throughout the year. To date 12 of these sessions have taken place, with involvement of both churches and many helpers from the Church Family, and are very well attended, much appreciated and now an established part of the church community. This is an exciting development in our church life. St Paul s and Hasland Methodist Church s Messy Church 11
14 Activities: More details of our activities can be found in the full AGM report which is available on request. The Sunday School meets in the choir vestry during Sunday Mass. The Social committee organises an event at least once a month see appendix iv. Singing for Pleasure is a group which has developed from the MAP initiative as a monthly activity and is often invited to sing in the community. In collaboration with the Hasland Methodist Church we run an increasingly popular Messy Church. The annual Walsingham Pilgrimage for both parishes, led by the Rector, is a much-loved event. Members of the church belong to the Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament and attend services and events organised by that society. A bible study group meets monthly. The four nursing homes in the parish are visited on a regular basis with communion services led by the priest and a number of the Church Family. The North Aisle used for small social events 12
15 Our Strengths: Strong lay participation Well attended services see appendix i for numbers Teaching and Sacramental worship Forward looking Full integration of youth and children within the services. Caring Cared-for buildings and grounds Church door open daily Well-loved church with special ambience Regular and well-attended social events Monthly Family Mass with high level of involvement of children and young people A proactive and supportive PCC which meets around six times a year. Although we have no extra buildings of our own, we have village halls in each district of the parish where group activities can be held at reasonable cost: the north aisle is used for smaller events. The grounds have an abundance of snowdrops Our Challenges: To reach more young families To reach families and parishioners new to the area. To have better contact and more involvement with schools and youth organisations in the parish Lack of rooms for events within the church grounds To increase the presence of the church in Grassmoor by fostering close relationships with the newly refurbished Methodist church and the growing community centre. 13
16 LOOKING TO THE FUTURE Our main aim is that over the next five years we will continue to grow both in numbers and in spirituality. We would hope to increase our current good attendance at services, (see appendix i), not only at Sunday Mass but also at weekday and special services. We would wish to see a resurgence in the numbers attending Sunday School. We would welcome a rise in the number of younger people attending our church with the attendant reduction of the average age of our Church Family. We would hope to see an increase in the efficacy of our communications with the parish especially with those moving into the new housing areas. We would aim to have a good, working, interactive relationship between ourselves and the parish schools and young persons organisations. We would wish to maintain and develop our relationship both with the Deanery and Diocese. St Paul s in the spring 14
17 St James the Apostle, Temple Normanton Mission Our Mission Action Plan began with the parish being leafleted about a series of four informal talks about the Church: The History of the Church in Temple Normanton The Church in the Community The Way We Worship Here St James and Pilgrimage This was well attended by the community and resulted in three new church members. The Parish Mission Action Plan What has been done so far: We started by inviting our neighbouring and wider Society parishes to our Patronal Festival and advertised it further afield. We were encouraged by the response. We asked for more information about the people on the prayer list, so that prayers could be more relevant. This proved successful and our prayer life has developed as a result. Midweek services were changed to bi-monthly Evensong and Benediction, alternating with Compline and Benediction. It is actively encouraged to attend services and events in other parishes in the Diocese. We have started a long-term project to house and re-hang the 1883 church bell. A Bible Study was organised and run bi-weekly and now that the renovation of the church building is complete we hope to restart it. Following on from this we were invited to join in the celebrations of opening the play park in the parish, with Father Malcolm blessing the site. The Church Family provided and served the refreshments. We held an event called Temple Normanton has Talent. It drew the community together to spend the day sharing their individual hobbies, with the school choir joining us to sing a few songs. 15
18 What we know needs to be done next: We need to find an effective way of communicating with parishioners, to find out how they see the church in the community. We need to continue re-establishing a positive relationship with the school. In September 2017, the school became an academy and the new headteacher has worked alongside the churchwardens to produce a programme of events through to the end of the academic year. Temple Normanton Primary School Where we would like to be in five years time. We would like to see a growth of people from the parish attending church services, as the majority of the present congregation live outside the parish. We would like to have re-built a strong two-way relationship with the local primary school. Growth and renewal When we have accomplished our five-year goal, we will have grown and renewed, but will endeavour to further our accomplishments and look ahead to a new five-year MAP cycle. 16
19 Location The Parish of Temple Normanton is situated 3.3 miles from the town of Chesterfield and 1.8 miles from the Parish of Hasland. A view over the beautiful Derbyshire countryside The Parish Temple Normanton is a small village with a population of 397 adults and St James is the village church. We have an academy school, with 88 children currently on roll, most of whom live outside the parish. After a meeting between the headteacher and the churchwardens, church members were invited into school to help with the preparation of their Christingle service which our Lay Reader was asked to lead. Christmas service details were distributed to the school families as well as to the parish. The following arrangements have also been made: The children to visit church to share Mothering Sunday celebrations. Church members to attend a Palm Sunday assembly in school, to distribute palm crosses and leave Easter Service information for parents/carers. Church members to provide and serve tea and cake at the school s end of term celebration. We are proud to be building a very positive relationship with the school. Temple Normanton could best be described as a semi-rural parish with farming, a small industrial estate and small businesses. 17
20 The Church Building Temple Normanton has been an established parish from the 11th Century beginning with a small chapel being erected by the Knights Templars. The present Church is a modern design and was consecrated in The parish church is a flexible building, which also enables us to hold our monthly fundraising events. It is also valued by several local community and charity groups for meetings and their fundraising events. On these occasions the altar is screened off as we reserve the Sacrament. We have just undergone major repair work to the floor of the church. We are thrilled that as a small church and congregation we raised all the necessary funds for this. We were able to continue our weekly Sunday Mass in a parishioner s home and our Thursday evening Mass was held in St. Paul s Church, Hasland whilst the building work was being carried out. We are delighted to be back in our beautiful church building once again. 18
