Achievements and Perfomiance- Revlew of the year The Christ Church community was buoyant wrth life throughout 2024. and we ended the year with a Christmas celebration that capped a sense that there 15 healthy growth on many fronts. It has been encouraging to welcome a good number of university age students and other young adults into the church family. This is something we have wanted to do for a long time, and it has now happened. We have set up a regular student lunch and 8ible studv and hope to build on this in the years to come. All three Sunday services have seen a steady increase in numbers in attendance. This is very positive, although it doesn't yet tell the full story. The undefinable but unmistakable sense of spiritual life that many experience in the SeiCe5 is the more valuable than nurnbers. It was also encouraging to see marked growth during the year IWI the weekday children's and yniine Dpnplf'fj Erniio3, &spEGiillY in Tiny Tot5 Mums and Toddlers and the Christ Church Playgroup. We hope build on this in 2025 when we start up Bubble Church. As alway5. Lent was a significant time in the church year. As in previous years. we were able to Use our facilitie5 to host the Churche5 Together in Sidcup Lent Lunches. This is a valuable opportunity to draw member of all the churches In Sidcup together. For our Lent Course this year we were pleased to welcome Geoff and Caroline Shave. The Shaves lead the church connections arm of Agape. They took us through the excellent evangelism training contained in Agape's the Living and Telling course. Shortly before Easter we again hosted an evangelistic event at Limoncello. The speaker for the evening was judge David Turner KC. He addressed a packed restaurant. many church members having invited family members and friends to enjoy the evening. The festiva15 of Christmas and Easter are always very special at Christ Church. The choir significantly contributes to this, led very ably by Helen Evans. Perhap5 the highlight ol Easter this year, however, was the baptism of Annemarie in the Easter Sunday morning service. Annemarie's story with Christ Church provides a 5nfirifihnr of many of IhF itr¢nKih5 of our community life. She contacted the church through the web51te. reaching out for some p3Storal support during her serious illness. This led to her coming to faith and receiving support and Many visits from church members. Eventually, once she wa5 well enough to make it to services, she was befriended and supported practitally by a handful of loving friends. In turn. she left a lasting impart on their live5. She died in July. leaving a Significant hole in a ¢ommunitV she had, alter all, only been part of for 3
short time. The richness of this experience can't be measured by any church Statistics, but it Éets to the heart of what we most value and aspire to be as a church family. Two outstanding events of ihe early summer were both held at the initiative of Kevyn Oliver, our Children, Youth and Families Minister. Walk Through the Bible is a ministry devoted to teaching the outline of the Bible's story through actions. In May. around 50 members of Christ Church, and other local churches, experienced a Walk Through the Old Testament. In June. we welcomed 4Front Theatre to Christ Church. Thev brought to us their production The Parable Keepers. Aimed especially at children, and enjoyed by all ages, the presentation brought Jesus, parables mernorably to life. A summer highlight was the church BBQ held in the Vicarage garden in late June. The weathei was perfect for the occasion and it was a iolul time together, with aroltnd 100 in attendance. The Pd'dbli. In September we invited Adam Curtls. Our former Curate. to speak on our church day away. It w35 a wonderful day at St Nicholas, Church, Sevenoaks. Adam spoke on Paul's letter to the Romans. Around 90 church members attended the dzy. a record. November's Annual Service of Thanksgiving took place again this year. As usu31, all those who have had a family funèral in the past two or three yèars are invited to give thanks for, and to remember, their loved ones. The service itself is an important point in the church's year. Thi5 one event also represents the ministry of pastoral offices that take place throughout the year. This year we have been privileged to minister to around 12 families through funeral ministry. There have been several b3ptiSTns and two weddings, at which at least one marriage partner was a member of the church. These were both uplifting occasion5. One harder aspect of 2024 was the departure, thought relocation. of some families who had been core members of our children and youth mirkistry. This left us praying hard for God to regrow the Sunday children's groups. Even by the close of the year, these prayers were beginning to receive an answer. In particular, the Christmas events for children and voung people were exceptionally well attended. The Puppet Nativity and I Can't Wait for Christma5 saw more families in attendance than in previous years. It was I Can I W311 fnr Christmas 2024. 6ana2as in Paiamas
particularly encouraging lo observe how many of those families had connections to other Christ Church groups.. Boys Brigade, Bumps and Babies and the toddler groups. All this activity in church life involves enormous commitment from many people. Kelly Newman, our Church Coordinator is often at the heart of what's going on, and we are all grateful to her, and to our staff Verger. Leigh Evans. Our Church Wardens and TreasureT work incrediblv hard, but as key office holders they are only the most prominent among an army of committed, able and faithful servants of jesus who are giving themselves in love tor Christ and for people. Ag we reflect on 2024 as ever, a year with challenges too we can look around at what's happening and reflect that it is a privilege to be part L¢iyii Evdli) uli 1¥(*11111 duly. Church attendance Every Six years the Church of England requires each Ihurch to completely new Church Electoral Roll to be prepared. This is such a year. The previou5 Roll contained 156 names. The New roll contains 149 names of which 51 live in the Parish and 98 live outside the Parish. The average weekly attendance at services during OLtober was 152 aged over 16 and 21 undcr 16. This number increases at festivals. Safeguarding The PCC has complied with the duly under sertion 5 of the Safegutiidii)¥ and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 and it5 duty to have regard to House of Bishops, guidance on S3feEuarding children and vulnerable adults. Our safeguarding work is led by Parish Safeguarding Off icer Dawn Watson. Flnancial revlew We remain forever thankful for the gener051ty of the congregation. Thi5 year, total regular pljnnod giving including thp IiAlI Ip nf ini rrrrlitS WAfj f157,,33Q,12Q23', £149,1711. This rise follows the welcome growth in church attendance. linked more individuals choosing regular contributions by way of standing order, routine bank transfer, payment via Stewardship, Charities Trust or Charities Aid Foundation and not forgetting increased use of the card terminal.
Designated contributions to support the installation of a new boiler in Church amounted to £3,49812023.. £7,006) with a further £44.873 raised. since launching in June, to replace the lower south roof. Co15ections through the plate intreased to £9.11512023= £8,312) including the associated tax credit. The Church benefitted from two legaeies in the year amounting to £2.000. These occasional. one off Éifts provide the PCC with additional financial resource to renovate aged equipment or invest in deepening our Ministry with target group5. The strength of general giving in the financial year has enabled the PCC to defer any allocation from the legacy funds for the time being. Regular users are established in the Church Hall. West Wing and Fellowship rooms. Our Parochial organisations, P13ygroup, Mothers & Toddlers. TOTS, Brownies, Boys Brigade. and Contact Club all make valuable contributions, together with external groups like the New Eltham Dance School, Zumba. Slimming World and Barclays Bank. Added lo those. there are numerous occasional bookings for meetings Of tralning and party hire. Together we have benefitted by £26,86112023= £25,236) Our Parochial Organi5ations continue to operate effectively. Numbers attending the Playgroup are risig. Having restructured the staffing some 18 months ago the finances of the organisation are iecovering. The PCC remain reassured that each of the Parochial organisations has sufficient reseThes to meet their liabilities and Is able to continue operating effertively. The Parochièl OrganisatOnS recorded a collective £11,230 surplus for the year12023.. deftcit of £7931. M15sion giving remains an important focus at Christ Church. Fundraisin8 provided gifts of £11.95612023.. £11.7391. The Agencies and Charities in receipt of our support are disclosed on page 15 of these accounts. At the end ol December 2024. a total of £ll.IX)O, from the original loan to install the boiler, remains to be repaid over the next 2 years and we will continue with specific fundraising and appeals in order to lessen any draw upon general or legacy reserves. Going Concern After making 3ppropriate enquiries the PCC has concluded that it has adequate resources to continue its artivities for the foreseeable future. For this reason. it ha5 continued to adopt the going ton¢ern basi5 lof the preparation of Ihese account5. Reserves policy The PCC reviewed its reserves policy and has concluded that ideally undesignated unrestricted reserves should match the average value of unrestricted payments in a year.
This will cover emergency situations that may arise and provide a sensible working capital for the needs of the PCC. By completing the boiler works ahead of receiving fL4ndin8 there is 3 Short term adverse reserve of £10,88612023= £14,384) for which future fundraising will be needed to bring thi5 project back into balance. At the end of the current year general reserves, excluding the boiler deficit, remain at some 42% of that ideal target. Designated reserves are set aside principally to meet repairs and improvement5 to the Church and Hall. These are reviewed on a S-yearly basis in line with recommendations from the Dio an Surveyor.
