We follow the diocesan vision of Worshipping God, Making New Disciples and Transforming Communities.

The PCC is governed by Standing Orders. The PCC is a charity exempted from registration with the Charity Commission.

Members of the PCC are elected by the Annual Parochial Meeting (APCM), in accordance with Church Representation Rules.

Church Attendance and Electoral Roll Report

The pandemic has impacted the number of times that the church has been open this year and social distancing has limited the number of worshippers to 30 inside. Therefore there are no figures for Usual Sunday Attendance this year.

There are 124 parishioners on the new Church Electoral Roll, of whom 77 are resident within the parish. (Last year’s Electoral Roll was 123)

A new roll was prepared in 2019, the next new roll to be prepared in 2025.

PCC Secretary’s Report 2020

Our APCM on 18[th] February 2020 was held in church. Our first PCC meeting on the same day was to elect the Lay Chair: Greta Randle Treasurer: Roy Cook Secretary: Christine Harding Electoral Roll: Tom Gilbert. Standing Committee: Rev Alison Evans, Greta Randle, Ann Watts (church wardens) Roy Cook, Mike Arthur and John Downing.

This has been a very unusual year with all following PCC meetings taking place via zoom and resolutions agreed via email due to the Covid-19 pandemic. As the first lockdown eased Alison circulated a risk assessment to the PCC as the church could re-open with limited numbers and the chairs would be socially distanced. To comply with insurance purposes the risk assessment was approved by email. On 2[nd] August there was a resolution agreeing not to open the church for services until 16[th] August due to higher numbers of Covid-19 locally and the numbers of the congregation being over 70.

Deanery Synod. At a meeting held on 7[th] September by Zoom, Vivien Proctor-Parr was elected as the fourth representative of the Deanery Synod.

Finance. £10,000 was transferred from the Reserves but in September the accounts still showed a deficit of £4241. With great reluctance it was agreed that the church could not justify the continuation of our cleaner’s current contract in terms of the wage paid or the hours worked. Legal advice was obtained and Lynn was given 12 weeks’ notice of redundancy. Her contract ended on 4[th] December with her last working day on 4[th] November, as she was owed holiday. A gift of a card, flowers and a gift card was made.

Hall bookings: With the church being closed there had been no hall bookings. All groups wishing to return would have to submit a Covid 19 risk assessment. The Brownies would be the first and only group to meet. These meetings stopped as coronavirus spread again and lock down 3 began.

The PCC were informed that two courses have been held by zoom: Alpha, and a new course called Valley Paths, led by Gill Hancock, which was aimed at helping people find peace with God after difficult life events. We were very grateful to the diocese for a £500 grant from the Mustard Seed Fund which paid for two Pro Zoom Licences and books for the course.

Suspension of Church Services in Church. It was agreed, due to the pandemic that the church would suspend church services for January and February. Services are continuing via zoom.

Chris Harding

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Eph 3:20-21

Church Fabric Report 2020

Wardens: Greta Randle, Ann Watts

This report covers the state of the building of Holy Trinity Church, repairs and changes to the contents therein.

Equipment

The only new equipment bought has been a bicycle rack fitted to the front of the building and a Goodbox gift plate to enable contactless giving.

Buildings

During 2020, the church was only in full use until March when the first Coronavirus lockdown was implemented. From then it has been used for private prayer, some services with limited numbers and some weddings and funerals. Food bank has continued during the pandemic observing social distancing restrictions.

In good weather the church grounds have been used for open air services.

In March the higher level gutterings around the Church hall were cleaned out by Roger Brining and Andy Sargeant. New lighting was installed in the

ceiling of the church by G.W Electrical Services and a scissor lift was hired to reach the lights. The cleaning of the upholstery on the chairs was completed by Mike and Barbara Arthur and we thank them for their hard work.

In June a new outside tap was fitted for the boiler house and the inside tap was repaired by G.W. Electrical services. The boiler house steps were repointed by Graham Stout.

In June Graham also put steel supports in to support the fencing around the paddock.

Gill Hancock created a contemplation area in the Churchyard, much appreciated by those using the grounds while unable to enter the building.

In August, Pest Control dealt with a large wasps nest in one of the Holly trees.

In December a faulty PIR light near the main door was replaced by G.W. Electrical services.

Due to lockdowns on 2020, some work was postponed until 2021. This included the servicing of the fire extinguishers in March, the Quinquennial Inspection was also carried out in March by the appointed architect Simon Bird of Flying Buttress Architects, Mountsorrel, and in April The 5 year electrical inspection was carried out by J&B Electrical Contractors. We still await all the reports.

The results of these inspections will inform future work needed to be carried out in 2021.

Other work needed:

Sealing the joints on the leaking hall guttering

Investigation into the removal of the sapling on the bell tower, which we have been advised will involve major work on the spire/tower as this is a recurring problem, causing damage internally, as there is no access point to inspect the parapet and clear the gullies.

As we no longer employ a cleaner we propose to set up a team who will help the keep the building clean on a rota basis.

We will continue to regularly monitor the condition of the building and grounds and keep it a place of comfort, prayerfulness and inspiration for all who worship here.

Further details of all work and changes is available in the Day Book.

Report on the Activities of the PCC for 2020

Safeguarding Report

We adhere to the safeguarding guidance produced by the House of Bishops. The Diocesan Safeguarding Policy which the PCC has adopted is on the church notice board in the entrance and also we have a lovely bright board which has all the information needed for anyone to access support either though the church or independently. Jane Brown is the church Safeguarding Representative, Lindsay has been the PCC rep. and Jackie a contact for the children as you will have seen from the small posters with our contact details and pictures on. Within the Sunday groups there is a folder with contact forms and information in. We are working at level 3 within the Parish Dashboard and are currently updating Risk assessments for the various activities of church.

All safeguarding training has moved online. There have been a number of changes to the Safeguarding team in the diocese, with Carol Clarke leaving and being replaced by Sarah Price. To report any safeguarding concerns or allegations, please contact Jane Brown on 07872 648381 or the Diocesan Safeguarding Team on 024 7652 1345 . Out of office hours, calls to this number will be diverted to a 24-hour helpline.

We have had no safeguarding incidents, although we do have vulnerable people within our church. Each has a named person within the church who keeps an eye on them. Under the recent historical abuse work carried by the Diocese, we had no outstanding cases. If anyone would like to talk to me to gain further information about the role of safeguarding please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Nuneaton Deanery Synod 2020

Holy Trinity Attleborough was represented by David King, Denis Gay and Chris Harding. At the PCC meeting held on 7th September 2020 by Zoom, Vivian Proctor-Parr was elected as the fourth representative of the Deanery Synod. Rev David Poultney, Rector of Bedworth, is the Area Dean, with Rev Gail Philip the Assistant Area Dean.

Synod meetings were fewer due to Covid 19. Meetings were held on Zoom in October and November. The October meeting was a reflective time led by Bishop John.

There was a Deanery Synod Survey by the Diocese November 2020, with a summary of the responses received from 209 Deanery Synod members sent out March 2021.

Outreach

Outreach and Social Activities 2020

Remember Men’s Breakfast? Remember Girl’s Nite Out? Wednesday Café? Gone for now, but not forgotten, and I’m sure they will all be back bigger & better than ever!

In February 2020 we welcomed our new CMS Mission Partners, Tom & Verity Clare , who visited us on 10th Feb before heading off to Uganda for the first time.

As Covid 19 began to take hold around the world in February & March, we had to start looking at church differently. The way we greeted each other was one of the first changes, with handshakes & hugs being put on hold. In February the church hosted the Deanery Marriage Preparation Course .

On March 23rd the country went into full lockdown; and so began a new, innovative way of worship. Enter Zoom .

During Lent HTA joined with All Saints Bedworth in a reading via Zoom of Mark’s gospel, in one sitting.

Our services not only continued, but increased, with the addition of a Thursday Evening Prayer – a beautiful, peaceful way to be present to God at the end the day.

Throughout the long months of Lockdown there has been a steady increase in people joining the services. Some of us have learned new technological skills to enable us to remain connected. Those who don’t use electronic forms of communication have had the chance to attend sociallydistanced services in church when lockdown easing has allowed. The Weekly Newsletter has been delivered through the letterboxes of those who don’t have email addresses and Facebook is now a regular part of church life.

In August Ann completed her final year of curacy with us, and moved on to serve at All Saints Bedworth. A leaving party was held with just a few people allowed, but this was video-recorded so all could be there ‘virtually’.

In September, we started outdoor worship – socially distanced and face coverings compulsory….and no singing… but still a joy.

Socially distanced Coffee in the churchyard has been a delight - to sit in the fresh air enjoying coffee, birdsong and company. On one occasion the keen ornithologists spotted a Peregrine falcon in one of the treetops.

Toddler Toybox changed to Toddlers Outdoors !

October saw the first Zoom online Alpha Course , which brought new people to know & serve the Lord. Valley Paths was a new course helping people who’d been through difficult times.

During December new mission happened: twenty-one food parcels and gifts for Doorway were put together and delivered; also twenty-one Christmas gift bags were given to students of Oakwood School. Food parcels and treats also went to families in need at Oakwood, with help from Bedworth Foodbank, so HTA has continued its community spirit and generosity despite this being a very different year.

Thanks to people volunteering, at least 110 Christmas cards were delivered to sheltered flats and retirement bungalows, and fifty plants were delivered to the elderly.

A Christmas miracle in the form of a Scarecrow Nativity scene appeared outside the church door, bringing the Joy of Christmas to dog-walkers and anyone passing through the churchyard.

To bring the message of Christmas to our community, in the absence of our usual Christmas services, we were

encouraged to put a Christmas Carol in our front windows. These were lovely, and very varied, both in style and artistry.

The Christian Meditation Group stayed connected via a WhatsApp group.

Mothers Union wasn’t able to meet at Branch level, but members attended a Diocesan meeting, and the Lady Day Service via zoom.

The Food Bank has remained open throughout the whole of Lockdown, with a small dedicated team doing the precious work of keeping those in need fed, led by the amazing Linda Steel.

And a sneak preview of 2021, April saw the inaugural meeting of the Eco Church group, following a talk from Hannah from Tearfund at a recent Zoom service.

Nurture

Home Groups Report 2020

This year saw 6 groups meeting weekly or fortnightly. This has been a year to be flexible, working out how to meet when physical home groups are no longer possible. But each homegroup got going again and now meet regularly on Zoom, with only a handful of people not able to engage. About 50 members of the church attend the groups. This year it has been more important than ever to have the support of a small group and I’m thankful to

the leaders for making that possible and learning to use Zoom! There have been some real wins by using Zoom in that some who haven’t been able to join a group in the past, getting home from work late, have been able to engage which is great news.

Following another lovely Alpha, this time on Zoom, the group wanted to stay together so there will be a follow up group meeting on a Tuesday evening thinking about how to grow as a Christian and learning the basics of being a disciple.

The groups have been led by Janet Broadbent and Robin Croxall; Denise Burgess, Lindsay Parker and Ed Brown; Mark and Tracey Pargeter; Jim and Maureen Reid, Viv Proctor Parr and Dave Parr. Gill Hancock has taken over the leadership of what was Alison’s group. Rosemary and Tony and their small group have joined together with Jim’s.

Of course, we would love everyone to be part of one of the groups so if you would like to know more do talk to Alison or one of the group leaders.

Children

Sunday Groups

Another church activity that has been hit by the pandemic! Once lockdown began we tried a few different ways of keeping in touch with the families who are part of church or on the fringes. Initially the children’s leaders, with Ann Poultney’s help produced material for each Sunday, which was sent out by email or delivered. Then over the summer we used the diocesan material Adventures with God. Following that there was a gap with no new material until we got involved in Christmas activities. Ann and I had fun leading a weekly Kids Zoom for 20 minutes with a Bible story, a song and a chance to do a ‘show and tell’ between March and August.

Toddler Toybox (and Outdoor Toddlers!)

Toddlers began strongly with the usual team of Barbara Arthur, Janet Broadbent, Kim Batchelor, Avril Deeming, Lyn Gilbert, David and Penny King who faithfully kept in touch with the families through the first lock down by phone.

Once we got to the autumn, we decided to think what could we do, despite the restrictions? So Outdoor Toddlers was born! Jayne Ellis, Avril Deeming and Emma Bayliss rose to the challenge, thinking up outdoor crafts and games to keep everyone busy and a Bible story each week. David King was there each week looking after everyone. The numbers were small but it was an important and fun meeting up with parents saying how grateful they were to be able to meet. It meant that we got to know them much better too. We met until the second lock down began and hope to restart late Spring.

Janet, Lynn and Penny have decided to step down now. We are very grateful for all the work they have done and the care that they have shown to the children and parents over the time they have led Toddler Toybox. They have been a real blessing.

Mothers’ Union

As we have not been able to hold meetings for over 12 months, we have tried to keep in touch with our members by phone and email but most of us miss the fellowship of meeting up. We have also kept in touch by sending out Christmas, Mothering Sunday and Easter cards. To try and boost our funds Josie and David have made Jam and Chutney and Marmalade which has greatly helped. Nancy has sold some MU cards. Hopefully things will start to improve in the coming months.

Gillian Laycock

Mission

As a church we believe God calls us to give generously of what the Lord has given us and so we give each year to a number of different missions. Each year we give a tithe (10%) of our income. There has also been a small group of people who pray regularly for the mission work supported by the church. Some church members also have donation boxes in their homes for The Children’s Society (administered by Nancy Bradley) and Church Mission Society (administered by Denis Gay). This is an easy way to increase mission giving by regular saving and it gets sent off annually.

Many thanks to Denis for all his work; he is standing down now as the CMS rep. Harvest Outdoors this year gave us an additional opportunity to give to Tearfund and Food Bank.

We have had close links with our CMS partners Tom and Verlity Clare in Uganda. They visited the church in person before moving there for their first term. They moved very shortly before lockdown which has had its difficulties. It was exciting to have them worshipping with us on zoom one Sunday during lockdown although the technology was not perfect that day. Ian and Greta Randle would usually have had another trip to India since the last report but Covid-19 has prohibited flying. However Suvarna made several ‘visits’ to HTA via zoom and Ian, Greta and Alison have had opportunity to preach for our Indian friends over zoom too. We also support 2 children through Compassion, Charles from Tanzania who is 11 and Heylin Krismary aged 3.

We gave this year to: Bible Society Church Army Christians Against Poverty Yeldall Manor CMS Tear Fund Compassion

We continue to support other groups which are

directly linked to church or part of our ministry by active involvement with them (often through volunteering of church members) and responding to specific needs as they arise: Ian & Greta Randle’s work in India, Mother’s Union, Acorn Trust and Nuneaton Food Bank.

The pandemic also gave us a nudge to get involved in other mission – Christmas stockings and food hampers for children at Oakwood and gifts and hampers for Doorway youth homeless charity too.

Out to Lunch Café

By the middle of March the Café had been forced to close due to the pandemic and sadly hasn’t been able to open since. We hope for better times in 2021!

Finance Report 2020

Treasurer: Roy Cook Finance Team: Mike Arthur, Roy Cook, David King, Lindsay Parker

We finished the year with a surplus of £4109. This isn’t quite as good as it sounds as, to achieve a surplus, we had to draw down £10,000 from our reserves funds (that’s what reserves are for). If no reserves had been used a deficit of £5891 would have been recorded.

This is not a doom and gloom report as in many ways we have done remarkably well in extraordinary times.

In a year where the church has remained closed through the lockdowns our income was under threat.

Cash on the plate collections were down dramatically from 2019. Church hall hire was down by around £5800.

On the plus side, the lockdowns brought about cost saving of around £7,500. In April, seeing the situation, we recast the budget and cut everything we could. Sadly, we also ended the contract of our cleaner early December, as it was felt this was financially not viable anymore. The redundancy payment will be seen in our 2021 accounts.

The really good news is what happened with regular giving. Through the continuing generosity of our membership, supplemented by some very generous one-off donations, regular giving was maintained broadly at 2019 levels.

The Gift Day giving of £4237 topped the previous year by a significant amount.

Thanks to the following:

Roy Cook, our Treasurer, who has steered us through difficult times setting an achievable budget and maintaining a sensible and disciplined cash flow. Chris Harding who efficiently managed hall bookings in the first part of the year and ensured that rents flowed in on time.

All those who continued to give by standing orders, those who posted their envelopes through the designated letter boxes and those who have been able to increase your giving. We are also grateful to the number of people who made substantial additional donations above their usual regular giving amounts.

Thanks to our generous and loving God, we entered into 2021 in good financial shape.

Generous relationships

In times of economic uncertainty there is a tendency for people to focus on their own needs rather than those of others. The same can be true of churches, but the Bible reminds us of the promise of blessing to those who put their trust in God.

“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.” Malachi 3:10

Please do review your giving regularly as even a small amount matters. Inflation means that our giving has to go up each year if it is to have the same value, so if you gave £10 five years ago you would need to have increased that to £11.30 for it to mean the same. If you kept giving £10 a week, that’s worth £61 a year less now! Basically our giving needs to go up roughly 25p for every £10 each year to account for inflation!

And please consider making your offering by standing order, if you do not do so already. This helps us to more easily plan our annual budget. It also means that less cash has to be counted and banked each week. However, we are still happy to supply envelopes for those who wish to give this way. If you pay tax, and are able to Gift Aid, the church can claim 25% of your giving back from HMRC.

Roy Cook, Treasurer Mike Arthur, Chair of Finance

Leaving a Legacy in your will

I had been rewriting my will when I came across this helpful bit from the Church of England website:

‘Once you have made provision for your loved ones, you have the opportunity to make a lasting gift to God, by leaving a legacy to His church. Leaving a gift in your Will to your local church is one of the most valuable and lasting ways you can continue to support the mission and ministry in your community. A gift can be an expression of your gratitude and thanksgiving towards God, and can help keep your local church alive, and help transform its future.’

Charitable legacies are free of inheritance tax. And, if you’ve not written a will yet please do, it is very important!

Notes:-
1) The Financial statements of the PCC have been prepared in accordance with The Church Accounting Regulations 2006 using the receipts and payments basis.
2) A statement of Assets and Liabilities has been prepared for the year ended 31st December 2020 in the form of a Balance Sheet.

3) The 2020 year end statement of accounts show a major variance in Cash Collections between 2019 & 2020 year ends. This is due to a procedural change in recording giving, in that the 2020 accounts now show a separate listing for cash (open plate) donations only and do not include any envelope giving as in previous years.
4) The levels of giving during the period February to December 2020 were greatly affected by the closure of church and the suspension of indoor services due to the Covid 19 pandemic.
