   **8. Annual report:** (page 9) This report was accepted and thanks were given to all those who have served in any capacity within the church or community. 

**9. PCC Secretary Report ‘Review of the Year’** (p.11) was accepted with thanks given. 

**10. Presentation of accounts and appointment of Independent Examiner: (** p.13— 14) ???The accounts for 2021 had been sent out prior to the meeting and separate to the agenda and booklet. 

Ruth made the following observations in addition to the written report: 

- 2021 has been the second of two strange and difficult years, with the accounts bearing little resemblance to the accounts of previous years. 

- The ‘end-of year’ balance at the end of 2021 was similar to that at the end of 2020 – just £38 more in 2021 than the previous year 

- The Centre income started to pick up towards the end of 2021 but there has been no coffee shop income (as the coffee shop remains closed). 

- The Parish Share remains our biggest expenditure but we were helped in 2021 by a reduction of approximately £11,000 as the diocese gave support to parishes. 

- Thanks were expressed to the church family for maintaining standing orders 

- John Rich proposed, and Ian McKay seconded, the motion that the accounts should be accepted and that Andrew Morrison be re-appointed as Independent Examiner for the current year– there was unanimous approval and thanks were expressed to Ruth for all her work throughout the year. 



6. 

- Jan pointed out that the role of treasurer is a large role and that sadly, Beryl Strange, who had assisted the treasurer had died since the last APCM. It was mentioned that if anybody was interested in assisting Ruth (bearing in mind that the treasurer’s role is not one for life!) and becoming involved, that they should speak to her. 

## **11. Wardens’ Report on Fabric, Goods and Ornaments of the church:** (p.15) 

This report was accepted with thanks to Sue Olley. 

## **12. Elections:** 

## **PCC** 

As shown in Item 8 of the APCM booklet, page 9 (Annual Report for 2022) there are 3 vacancies on PCC for 3 years. 

Nominations were received from Alison Stubbs, Carol Buxton and Deborah Tomlin. As there were no other candidates, they were each appointed to serve for 3 years. 

## **Deanery Synod** 

One position for 1 years is available to be filled – a nomination has been received for Charles Kerr and he was duly appointed to serve for 1 year. 

## **13. Overview and thanks for Service Hosts:** 

Jan Rich explained that during the period of constantly changing ‘Covid’ rules that she and Sue Olley had been fulfilling the service host roles, but from November, some of those previously involved in service-hosting, have returned to serve in this way. Currently there are 2 service hosts and 1 warden on duty each Sunday with each service host being on duty approximately every 6 weeks. It would be good to have more people on the rota – anybody interested was invited to speak to Jan. 

Thanks were expressed to all those who help with this important aspect of church life. 

- **14.Additional reports:** (p.14-23) Jan commented on how encouraging it is to see reports indicating that some activities have restarted. 

   - Particular reference, with thanks to Brenda Mandeville, was made to the 3-weekly coffee mornings which have been well-attended and have raised significant sums of money for a variety of charities. In response to a question on whether the coffee shop would re-open, Brenda commented that before it closed there were some difficulties in running it – occasionally supply of cakes, getting sufficient volunteers to cover 5 days per week and often a small number of customers – and that the limited space for preparing drinks and washing-up produces particular problems in the Covid era. 

   - It was noted that production of the ‘Herald’ and ‘Open the Book’ have restarted. And that ‘Prime Time’ is restarting this week. 

   - We should pray for wisdom on whether or not some activities should re-start or whether new ones should begin 



7. 

**15. Chairman’s report:** (p. 25-26) Jan had submitted a written report and made a few additional comments: 

   - Jan had written the Chairman’s report, as at the time that it was written, it was uncertain whether Matthew would be back 

   - [      It has been an interesting and varied year because of Covid, and it has been ] wonderful to see more than 100 people in church both at Easter and for a baptism service. However, there is still Covid in the community and some people have not yet felt able to return to church. Please pray for these people and respect their caution, but ensure that they feel included and hopefully, eventually they will be able to return ‘physically’. 

   - [     We are grateful to God that our finances have remained ‘healthy’ with ] regular giving and that charitable giving has continued.  It is encouraging to see increasing use of the Church Centre. 

   - [      Please pray for wisdom for recruitment for the following posts: ] 

      - Church Administrator (to replace Lucy) 

      - Youth and Children & Family Ministry 

      - Cleaner/caretaker (following Robert recently having given notice) 

   - [      Thanks are due to many people and in particular to:  ] 

      - our Readers for their increased leading and preaching whilst Matthew has been on sick leave; 

      - the Standing Committee; 

      - Jo, in the office, now working an additional morning per week to help out whilst we recruit a replacement for Lucy; 

      - and Liz Richardson and Lucy for helping with youth and children’s work (initially for one term but extended to 2 and then 3) 

   - [   In conclusion, Jan read out the final two paragraphs of her report:  ] _We look forward very much to having Matthew back with us.  Please pray for him as he readjusts to work and finds a sustainable way forward.  And let's all look forward, rather than back at what we did before and how we did it.  It has been long enough since we did many of the things we did before the pandemic for us to reimagine how things might be; we have all grown (older_ 

_and hopefully wiser) and can do different things now: what are the right things for this next period of time?_ 

_Let's continue to trust that God, who has brought us to this point, has a purpose and a plan which he wants us to discover together.  He has not changed and the past year has not been wasted, but has been a stepping stone - or maybe the space between stones - towards the future he has for us and our witness for him here at St Luke's._ 



## 16. **Any other Business:** 

- I.  Marjorie Stephinson, on behalf of the church family, wished to express thanks to those ‘who have been the public face’ of the church throughout recent difficult times 

- II.   Bobby Thorn asked whether the church has been consulted about proposed changes to parking, and the implications that this might have for those attending regular services and weddings and funerals – the answer was ‘no’ and it was noted that we need to enquire into this and how it might affect us. 

- III.    Sue Olley expressed the church family’s thanks to Matthew & Stephanie along with a card and gift, and our delight to have Matthew back with us. She observed that leadership is not easy at the ‘best of times’ and the last two years have certainly not been that, commenting that the strain on everybody has been huge and that church leaders in particular have been drained by the demands on them. But God takes care of us and we just need to be patient and trust and rest in Him – and so, quoting Dag Hammarskjold _“For all that has been, Thank you. For all that is to come, Yes!”_ 

## **17.   Some words from Matthew and closing of the meeting** 

- Matthew, addressing Jan (who has stood in for Mathew in chairing this meeting), was delighted to tell her that ‘she had passed her audition and had got the job’!! 

- On a more serious note, he went on to talk about ‘flexibility’. Over the last 2 years the church has had to be flexible, allowing some things to stop, and others to start. As we come out of the pandemic, lessons on flexibility need to be learnt. We need to move with the ‘flow of the Holy Spirit’ – how is the Holy Spirit calling us to move forward? 

- He expressed delight that Prime time is restarting 

- Particular thanks were given to Brenda who had taken up the idea of coffee · We need to ask ‘What are the new things that we need to pick up & what 

- are the old things that we should not pick up?’ If we pick up all, we risk becoming exhausted and it might be going against the direction of the Holy Spirit. 

- He thanked the Readers, Standing Committee and PCC for taking on so much whilst he has been away allowing him time to ‘not do.’ He quoted a recent conversation with the Archdeacon, Adrian, in which Adrian said “You do have a lovely church don’t you – they obviously love you”. Matthew gave a huge thank you to the church family for all that they do for each other and for God in this place 

Matthew closed the meeting in prayer at 12.05pm
