                                      Taking God’s love into the world

St Aidan’s strives to be an authentic, loving community, which fosters care and respect for one another. We have
a strong sense of belonging and are welcoming. There are long shared histories within the parish, which foster
friendships and loyalty. It is inclusive and diverse, there is wide-ranging involvement in all aspects of worship and
parish life by its members.

We value our loving connections within the parish; the care we have for each other, the elderly, the children and
youth, and taking that out to the wider world through mission.

The parish does not easily fit labels such as conservative, liberal or evangelical, being a comfortable and
compatible blend of theological approaches.

We value quality worship, with a strong Anglican character, with members of all ages having opportunities to
contribute and use their spiritual gifts.

We value thoughtful and challenging sermons, based on sound biblical teaching and opportunities to engage
with theological discussion in small groups.

We value prayer, and the place it has in growing faith.

We value the work we do for mission and outreach to seek justice for those in need, to live out our faith.

We value our buildings, their historical significance and the sense of community that they foster.

                                                                                                                    3

Our Priorities
    Our priorities reflect the Diocese ‘Healthy Church’ model, along with our core vision and values statement set
    out earlier - ‘Worship, Caring, Mission’. The statements may appear somewhat unrelated, however they are the
    consensus of the responses given at the Parish Consultation held in February under each 'Healthy Church' pillar.

    Knowing God

    •   To work on the music aspect of
        worship in particular to successfully
        achieve diversity – combining and
        integrating both traditional and
        modern and doing it well.

    Shaping Community

    •   To maintain the sense of a
        loving community within all our
        Parish groups so that the whole
        congregation is included.
    •   Prioritise pastoral care.

    Growing in Christ

    •   Nurture and grow the next generations through strong youth and children’s ministries, extending
        opportunities for roles for young people in the church, and ensuring there are choices of worship styles
        offered.
    •   To prioritise activities to maintain and enhance engagement and relevance, so that we continue to grow in a
        sustainable manner as a parish that's intergenerational, active and diverse.

    Living Beyond Ourselves

    •   Keep looking outwards and continue to strengthen our support of the mission groups we are working with.
    •   Continue to look for opportunities to connect with local businesses and community groups.

Our Parish
    Ministry Team
    St Aidan’s is typically a two priest parish. In 2021, St Aidan’s has one ordained full-time member of staff - the
    Associate Priest who is currently Priest in Charge. They are supported by the following paid employees:

    •   Full-time Parish Administrator
    •   Part-time (10 hours/wk) Children’s Ministry Leader (Currently recruiting)
    •   Part-time (20 hours/wk) Youth Pastor
    •   Part-time (3 hours/wk) Website and Social Media Content Manager

    The parish also benefits greatly from the services of a retired Bishop, and a non-stipendiary priest who works
    mostly with the elderly. Both participate actively in our worship life.

    At present Vestry is structured so that each member oversees a specific area of church life. These include
    Synod, finance, property, outreach, and personnel.

    Sunday Service and Worship
    There are three Sunday services at St Aidan’s. Both morning services are based on the liturgies from A New
    Zealand Prayer Book to varying degrees. Laypeople are involved as Liturgists, Intercessors, Readers, Chalice
    Assistants and Prayer Ministers.

    8am Holy Communion Service – a more
    traditional service.

    9:30am Holy Communion Family Service – with
    separate simultaneous programmes for youth and
    children. This has the largest congregation.

    5pm Evening Service – every fourth Sunday of
    each month, with singing, discussion, fellowship,
    and a shared meal.

    The 8am and 9:30am services share a time of
    morning tea and fellowship in the Gathering
    Area following each service. These also provide
    an opportunity to meet newcomers, browse the
    church library, catch up on activities of interest, and celebrate significant occasions.

    Small but dedicated congregations attend an 11:30am mid-week services of Communion on Wednesdays,
    and prayers at 9am on Thursdays in the Gathering Area.

    St Aidan's also offers a comprehensive timetable of services based on the liturgical calendar. Services are
    held throughout Easter, Holy Week, Advent and the Christmas season. Our ANZAC service to commemorate
    The Fallen is remarkably well attended by both parishioners and the wider community.

Children, Youth and Young Adult Ministries
Kids' Church
Kids' Church happens every Sunday during term time during the 9.30am service, organised and run by the paid
ten hours per week Children's Ministry Leader (currently recruiting). Children are between the ages of 5-11 years
old but some preschool children join in as well with supervision from a parent. There are around 10-12 children
who regularly attend this programme. The programme finishes in time for the children to join their parents
for Communion. Each week two children assist in the Eucharists, by carrying a basket to collect the grape juice
glasses.

During the year, some Sunday 9.30am services are aimed at including the children, with songs, a story, or
activities for them to do in the pews. In February 2021, there was a “Blessing of the backpacks” for children and
students starting the new school year and on Christmas Eve there is a special child-focussed service at 4pm.

                                                                                                                    9
St Aidan's Remuera Parish Profile 2021 - www.staidans.co.nz - Auckland Diocese
Mainly Music
 This outreach ministry for the wider community is
 organised and run by the Children's Ministry Leader
 (currently by parent volunteers) and supported by a
 group of retired parishioners who serve morning tea.
 This is held on Wednesday mornings during term time,
 and consists of half singing, dancing and a “Surprise
 Box”, and half morning tea, craft activities and free play
 in the Hall afterwards.

 Youth Group
 The Youth programmes are run by the paid 20 hour per
 week Youth Pastor who is responsible for the planning
 and delivery of Sunday Youth Group (during the 9.30am
 service) and also a social programme on a Friday
 evening.

 The youth programme is aimed at ages 11-18 year olds
 and has approximately 10-12 regular attendees. They
 are well connected to the wider Diocese and participate
 in events such as E-fest and Diowhodunnit. There have
 been three students who have participated in the BOLD
 leadership programme in recent years.

 There are members of the Youth Group who are
 involved in other ministries in the parish, such as Choir,
 Servers and even Pins and Needles. The Youth Group
 also help with fundraising events such as the Annual
 Garage Sale and Quiz Nights.

 Young Adults Group
 The Youth Pastor also leads a Young Adults Group which
 meets regularly for Bible study, discussions and periodic
 social activities.

Our Buildings
     The Church
     St Aidan's is a beautiful Church, dated to 1905, located on the corner of Ascot Avenue and Remuera Road,
     Remuera. The traditional wooden building with its stunning stained glass windows makes it one of the most
     beautiful parish churches in Auckland.

     The ‘Bunker’ is in the basement of the church, which is where the youth group meeting on a Sunday morning for
     their programme.

     The ‘Gathering Area’ is a modern addition to the church, which connects the church with the hall complexes.
     This welcoming space hosts
     numerous parish activities, such
     as serving morning tea after
     each Sunday morning service,
     a meeting space for the Lenten
     studies and home groups, youth
     group dinners and our Pins
     and Needles group. The annual
     Pet Service is also held in the
     Gathering Area. It can be used
     as an overflow for large funeral
     services, with sound and video
     able to be projected into it.
     There is a well-resourced library,
     which is well used within the
     parish.

     The Hall, Social Lounge and Offices
     This is a multipurpose facility, comprising a large Hall (with a stage area and an attached kitchen), a Mission Shop,
     a Social Lounge (and attached kitchenette), an administrative office downstairs and offices and a meeting space
     upstairs.

     The Hall is used for many parish events such as the Annual Garage Sale, St Aidan’s Day lunch, the Annual Quiz
     Night and our weekly Mainly Music group. The Hall and Social Lounge are hired by many community groups for
     dancing, martial arts etc. and this is a significant source of income for the parish.

     Significant Building Project
     The parish has identified the need to improve and renovate the hall, social lounge, administration and related
     facilities areas of the St Aidan's property. A sub-group of Vestry has established the background context and
     objectives for these improvements and an architect has been briefed. The purpose of the work with the architect
     is to develop an overarching plan for these areas. Wider parish consultation in the near future will be required as
     part of the development of the plan. Once the overarching plan is in place, it will be broken down and sequenced
     into short to medium to longer term projects. This work is expected to gather momentum in 2021 and beyond.

The Vicarage
The Vicarage is a generous family home, purpose-built in the early 1990s, located directly across the road from
the church at 6 Ascot Avenue.

The ground floor comprises a large study, a lounge/dining room, an open plan family room and kitchen, with a
fenced outdoor courtyard and mature garden. Additionally, there is a large guest bedroom with ensuite, laundry
with toilet and a double garage.

Upstairs there are four good-sized bedrooms (master has an ensuite) and a shared bathroom. There are built-in
wardrobes and storage in every bedroom.

The church also owns the Curate’s house at 8 Ascot Avenue, which shares a driveway with the Vicarage. This
either houses the Priest Assistant or is rented at market value, giving another source of income to the parish.

Both buildings are currently being upgraded to comply with the ‘Healthy Homes’ requirements.

                                                                                                                  13

Parish Boundaries
     The following map has been drawn up to represent the boundaries of the Parish of St Aidan, Remuera and its
     neighbours. It should be acknowledged that there is increased tendency for parishioners to travel from outside
     the traditional Parish boundary.

     The boundaries include the eastern two thirds of the suburb of Remuera. It is bounded by the Parishes of St
     Mark, Remuera (to the west), Ōrākei (to the north), Meadowbank (to the east) and St George, Epsom, One
     Tree Hill and Ellerslie (to the south) and as part of the Central Auckland Cluster Group with oversight form the
     Northern Archdeacon.

     The official boundary description (drawn up in 1960 when St Chad’s, Meadowbank was separated from St
     Aidan’s) is:

        From the foot of Portland Road to Aldred Rd, thence by the line of the gully to the Remuera Rd on the
        western side of Allotment 34; Thence across Remuera Rd and by the boundary line between Allotment
        1 and Allotment 2 to the railroad; thence by the railroad to the Green Lane Bridge; thence by a direct
        line to the junction of Abbott’s Way to the south western corner of Allotment 25, thence by the western
        boundary of Allotment 25 to the north western corner of Part 1 thereof, thence by a direct line to the
        junction of Koraha Street and Remuera Road, thence by Remuera Road westward to the junction of Kelvin
        Road and Remuera Road, thence by Kelvin Road, to the head waters (of the western fork) of the Ōrākei
        Creek, thence by the Ōrākei Creek to its confluence with the Ōrākei Basin, thence by the (southern)
        shoreline of the Ōrākei Basin and Hobson Bay to the foot of Portland Road, the point of departure.

Our History
 St Aidan’s, Remuera has been an independent ministry unit since 1912 when a parochial district was formed
 from the mother parish of St Mark, Remuera. It was given parish status as early as 1915. Originally, St Mark’s
 parish was much bigger as its boundaries then included the area now covered by the parishes of St Mark, St
 Aidan, St George Epsom, and St Chad Meadowbank.

 The Remuera area develops
 As the population of Auckland grew, the weekend houses in Remuera began to be replaced by larger homes on
 large sections, giving it a semi-rural atmosphere. St Mark’s had purchased a section in Victoria Avenue for future
 development.

 Elsewhere in the parish a Mission Hall was built on Mr J Wilson’s property in Shore Road (now the site of St
 Kentigern’s School) and used from 1859 as a chapel for Hobson Bay-Lower Remuera area. Services also began in
 1885 in the Remuera Social hall at the top of Ōrākei Road.

 St Aidan's Remuera
 However, the people of ‘Upper Remuera’ made their own plans and services began in a hall in 1898. In 1903 a
 section was purchased on the corner of Remuera and Ascot Avenue. St Aidan’s Church was dedicated on 29 June
 1905. A resident priest was appointed in 1906. Significant alterations were carried out in 1910, and the sanctuary
 dedicated on 21 December 1912, and the church consecrated on 2 September 1956.

               Treasurer’s report for the year ended 31 December 2020
I have pleasure in presenting my report on the Parish’s finances for 2020.

Annual financial statements
    •   Owing to COVID the Church was shut for 15 Sundays out of 52 Sunday (29%) and with a reduction in
        congregation during Alert level 2 services.
    •   This had an impact on total income which was down by $77,000 compared with the previous year. The
        main items of reduction in income are - Offerings by ($26,000) (9.5%), Hall Hire ($27,000), Weddings
        ($7,000) and bequest ($20,000).
    •   We were fortunate to have received a Government COVID Wage subsidy of $22,000.
    •   However, because of the shut down our expenses were less by $24,000 compared to the previous year.
        We also received a contribution of $14,000 from the Diocese towards clergy salaries.
    •   In spite of a very difficult year, we had a small surplus of $22,923 before depreciation.
    •   The Church is in a Financially healthy position with Cash in Bank of $70,000 as at March 2021 and with
        10 Term Deposits totalling $363,000.

                                                                                                                 21
