Re ort on the Proceedin ofthe PCC The past year has been one of change for St John's with Re¢d Joy French leaving to pursue a new avenue in her calling as National Director of the charity Perfect Peace and the appointment process well underway for a new Oversight Minister who, God willing, will be in post later in the autumn. Canon Toby Hole, Director of Mission and Ministry for the Diocese of Sheffield, joined St John's in September 2024 to act as interim minister during the vacancy and Kir5ty Ma55ey remained as assistant curate of St John's, although in March it was announced that she would be taking up a new role as Oversight Minister of Anston with Firbeck, Letwell and Woodsetts in Julv. Following the APCM in May. the new PCC wa5 formed and the first meeting held. New members welcomed in and a reminder of expectations in the form of the code of conduct was re clrculated. Main topics included discussing the role of the treasurer and how to achieve the fulfilment of this role, requests for church tithe allocation, and the decorating of the rear rooms in the church. The role of the new Children & Youth Team Leader post was advertlsed and PCC gave permission for the Pioneer role for Winn Gardens to be progressed. Further information was shared by Joy and Mike Gilbert regarding the vacancy for an Oversight Minister when Joy leaves. Agreed support from the diocese included support from Toby Hole (Direttor of Mission & Ministryl as interim minister to work alongside the PCC and Mike Gilbert IA550Clate Archdeacon. Transltion Enabler). Further business included the appointments of the PSO (Parish Safeguarding Officer) Paul Massey and PCC Vice Chair- Katie Kerr. Claire Keppas gave notice for her role as PCC Secretary in May, and remained in post until July 2024. June's PCC meeting was mainly used to explore with the PCC the underpinning Vision & Values, and to prepare for the vacancy/interregnum period. Other business included the appointment of the Standing Committee and its members. Update5 on the ministry role5 ar¢d advertisements were reported upon, and approval sought for upcoming youth social activities outside of the church building to ensure compliance with insurance requirements and expettations. Finally the PCC was given an update on Alpha and discussion around
'what nexy. Thought was given to I Corinthians 12- One body many part5 and the work of the ¢hurch family within this. PCC thanked the Alpha team. The meeting in July was the final one for the sumrner as no meeting takes place in August unle55 an emergency meeting is called. Approval was given for a follow on course to Alpha to be initiated called 'A Life Worth Living,, led by Nick & Jude Cooper and team/Home Group. Three policies were ratified by the PCC, which were Safeguarding, Maternity and Health & Safety, with a further six agreed once some amendments were made. Further discussion about the oversight minister vacancy once Joy leaves was had, and Mike Gilbert highlighted that the interregnumlvacancy was an opportunity for churches to explore 'who they are. and explore the vision which can be carried foNards by an appropriate leader/incumbent once appointed. In September 2024 Toby Hole took up the chair of the PCC, working alongside Katie Kerr as vice-chair. The main items for Septemberf5 PCC were agreement to the term5 of a St john's standing committee which would allow small unbudgeted expenditure of up to £300 to be agreed outside of PCC meetings and would allow some of the routine business of the PCC to be conducted by a Smaller group, matters of policy and governance to be retsined by the PCC. Toby's role at St John's was also clarlfied. Toby wlll chair the PCC, attend standing committee meetings and act as Kirsty Massevs Training Incumbent. His role is primarily one of giving advice to the PCC and wardens. The main Item on October's agenda was the arrangements for worship outside of the building during the installation of the new boilers. It was agreed that sunday worship would be a combination of in-person worship at Christchurch Central's premises in Walkley and on-line Zoom services. Plans were made for a shared ILsnch during which vacancy priorities would be agreed and volunteers for working groups established. November's meeting was held in the Garrison pub due to the building works in church. Brian Wilson was readmitted as licensed Reader at St John's. Toby introduced the six Pastoral Principles devised by the Church of England to help churches work well with difference. Each one of the Principles was to be briefly explored at subsequent PCC meetings. Connected with this was a discussion led by Toby and Kirsty about how St John's could reflect on the recent turbulence in the congregation's life. Kirsty was to lead a time of reflection and lament on Advent Sunday Iln the presence of Bishop Pete) and Toby and Mike Gilbert (Associate Archdeacon) were to make themselves available for confidential conversations. Toby was to produce a short report for the Bishop and Archdeacons, a summary ofwhich would go to the PCC. There was no PCC meeting in December. In January Mike Gilbert explained to the PCC the appointment process for the new Oversight Minister. There was a discussion about online safety, arising out of the unfortunate takeover of the one of the St John'5 online services. Terms of reference were agreed for the Building's ommittee so that routine Maintenan work can be conducted outside of PCC meetings.
Februar¢s PCC meeting saw the appointment process get under way with the appointment of two parish representatives, Jo Tapper and Brian Wilson and the formation of a small committee to work on the parish profile. Phil Tapper led a discussion on church security and how people with roles in the church could be clearly identified. March's meeting had more of a mission focus with Caryl Skene and Jo Hopkins giving presentation on the Mission Matters Group and Nick Cooper leading the PCC in a discussion on the place of evangelism in 5t John's. The only item on the agenda at April's meeting was the agreement of the parish prof ile and the advert for the new Oversight Minister, which is being advertised in May. The PCC have had three away mornings this year. Two of them looked at how Stjohn's can thrive in the vacancy and one looked at the particular qualities the church was looking for in an Oversight Minister. Canon Toby Hole Interim Minister and chair of pcc Flnance The Trustees have given due consideration to the health, safety and financial risk5 they face in managing the operations of the church. Trustees believe they have in place adequate 5y5tems to monitor and control church operations at this time. The PCC are most grateful to the finance committee for all their hard work and commitment during 2024. The Finance Committee are.. Brian Wilson, Philippa Martin, Keith Barber, Claire Keppas and Martin Lymn. We encourage all taxpayers to Gift Aid their giving. Gift-Aid enables us to reclaim the tax at 25p for every pound given,. for January to December 2024 the money received back from the Inland Revenue will be approximately £25,662. Each year we pay into the Diocese Common Fund. This amounted to £75,000 in 2024. This supports osjr clergy stipendiary costs and a150 helps to support other smaller parishes. The Trustees have reviewed the reserve5 of the church. This review encompassed the nature of our current income and expenditure. the need to match variable income with fixed commitment5 and the nature of our reserves. In 2023, the trustees made the decision to designate £135.000 in our accounts for church building projert works. to ensure that we have resource available and separate from general church income. Some of this money has been used to upgrade the church heating system in November 2024. The accounts were approved by the Board of Trustees on 6th May 2025. Please see the full accounts attached at the end of this report.
Churchwardens, Re orttoma 2025 APCM Mortin Lymn, Brion WAlson Priorities for the eriod of vacanc When we began this period of vacancy the PCC concluded that we didn't want to drift into vacancy and so we agreed a number of priority areas where we were seeking to make progress. These were: o Developing the church's prayer life all together, in groups and individually o Enriching our worship and Bible-based teachlng o Strengthening frultful connectlons across the church familv o Resourcing and revitalising the small group network Building our youth, chlldren's and families ministries o Engaging missionally with the wider ¢ommunlty (including the Winn Gardens community) Attractin& welcoming and inte8ratin8 those who are new to St Johns You will recall that church members met after a shared lunch last autumn and. as a result, the PCC formed a number of priority working group5 that will continue to seek to progress these areas for the remainder of the vatancy. These groups have been making progress and reporting back to the PCC. The aim of all of this is that we would maintain momentum as church ready for a new Oversight Minister arriving later this year. A massive thank ou to Kirst and Paul As a church we all enormously grateful to Kirsty for working so hard and so generously over this last year on behalf of God's mission through St John's church. Kir5ty has played such a significant role over thi5 time. We are. of course, also so very, very thankful to Paul for all the work he has done in supporting St. John's over an extended period. We will have the opportunity to say 'thank you, on June 15th and to wish thern both every blessing as thev take this next, exciting step in following God's call. Andabi thank ou to the church As churchwardens. we would also like to say a very big thank you to the whole church for pulling together over what has been a challenging time in the 151-year life of St John's. What has also been clear is that people have sought to 5UPPOrt and encourage one another and to keep looking to Jesus for strength, encouragement and purpose over these months. We are still confidently expetting the Lord to be at work amongst us and through u5 as individuals and as a church over these remaining months of vacancy. Please do keep praying for the right person/people that God is calling to see and positively respond to the advert for a new Oversight Minister.
Buildin Committee Re orttoma 2025 APCM Martin Lymn Buildings Committee Choir During 2024 substantial works were carried out on the heating system at the Church costing a significant amount of money, some of this money has been recovered from Grants and VAT recovery scheme, but still leaving a balance of £25,CrfJO which was borrowed from the Church Buildings Reserves and will be paid back over the lifetime of the boiler taking into account the efficiency savings.

safe uardin re orttoma 2025 APCM Paul Ma55ey Porish Safeguarding Officer St. John's Owlerton is committed to high standards in the safeguarding and care of children. young people and vulnerable adults. Throughout the year we have ensured that All staff and volunteers have been recruited appropriately and safely, taking up references and ensuring that DBS check5 are undertaken and maintained. o All staff and volunteers working with children, young people and vulnerable adult5 have undertaken safeguarding training appropriate to their role. AII PCC Trustees and Licenced Lay Readers have completed safeguarding trainin& and we have undertaken the relevant OBS checks. A Parish Safeguarding Policy is in place and was approved by PCC at their meeting on 1010712024. o The Parish Safeguarding Dashboard is now in use to record key data and as it's use grows the level of data that can be recorded will grow. allowing reporting and analysis to PCC or for other purposes upon request. o Paul Ma55ey has been the Parish safeguarding Officer IPSOI since the last APCM but will be standing down at thi5 year's meeting as he is moving from the parish. Safeguarding training and DBS administration is undertaken by Claire Keppas who monitors and follows up with individuals as necessary to ensure that training records and DBS compliance are in date. Claire fulfils these roles in liaison with the PSO. Confidential information is held by the PSO and recorded in such a way as to maintain that confidentiality. o Where thefe has been a cause for concern this has been raised with the Parish Safeguarding Officer and a Cause for Concern form completed. There has been regular liai50n between Paul Masseyi as PSO, and the Diocesan Safeguarding Team following the receipt of any cause for concern. The Diocesan Safeguarding Advisors have been supportive of our actions and proposed actions on every occasion. The number of causes for concerns have not been a5 many as I would expect, nor reflective of the level of concern that I sadly feel Sure exists, certainly on Winn Gardens. I suspect that we have not been aware of some situations because of not having staff in place for part of the year.

Streamed the vast majority of services to YouTube, with around 7-12 concurrent views on most Sundays. with team able to cover all 4 jobs in each service. After service views, during the week have declined this year with a minimum of 20 views but not Usually more than 60 after a month. The website continues to be viewed by around 250-300 visitors per month with over 75% new visitors, suggesting that our website continues to mainly serve the purpose as a shop window for interest in churches/researchers and probably new people. Data is skewed easily when making changes to sites or church people check for needed updates. Social media h85 grown steadily but reached something of a high around Christmas 2023 and ha5 not significantly grown since. We use Facebook and Instagram and post weekly, mainly with adverts for services, events or news, occasionally people post on the St John's Facebook group too. The vlog was originally a monthly feature but has waned towards the end of 2024 due to less staff and clergy being available to contribute, this is an area that could pick up again if kr is felt that a Vlog is a good communication tool but this will be decided by people willing to be involved.
