HA3 7ND Church email: wealdstonechurch@yahoo.co.uk website: www.wmclr.org.uk The Church halls telephone: 020 8861 0913 Registered Charity No: 1127748 Wealdstone Methodist Church comes under the auspices of the Methodist Church in Britain whose governing body is the Methodist Conference. The authority by which the Conference acts is laid out in the Methodist Church Act 1976. Wealdstone Methodist Church is part of the group of Methodist Churches in the Harrow and Hillingdon Circuit and is accountable to the Methodist Conference. It is also a separately Registered Charity reporting to the Charity Commission. All activities are undertaken by volunteers, other than the work of a stipendiary minister, appointed by the Circuit to provide guidance and oversight for the work of this and other local Methodist Churches, and the Church Development Worker who has been employed by the church. ## **Mission Statement** Wealdstone Methodist Church exists to provide regular public acts of worship open to members of the church and non-members alike. It provides a sacred space, a building, for prayer and contemplation. It explains and commends Christianity through sermons, courses and small groups and runs a “Young Church” for children. It carries out pastoral work, including visiting the sick and the bereaved. It provides a weekly “Friendship Café”, a fellowship meeting (The Wesley Guild) and a Toddlers’ Group, with a Christian ethos. It offers its halls for hire, subject to availability, to community groups. ## **Minister** The Revd Stephen Poole Tel: 07760 490606 email: steveej55@hotmail.co.uk Services for Marriage, Funerals, Baptisms and Confirmation are arranged directly with the Minister. ## **Church Council Secretary** David Milne, 38 The Avenue, Harrow. HA3 7DE Tel: 020 8954 7248 email: themilnes@sky.com ## **Treasurer** Malcolm Aldridge, 35 Boxtree Road, Harrow. HA3 6TN Tel: 020 8954 1619 email: Malcolm.Aldridge@btinternet.com ## **The General Church Meeting** All church members are entitled to attend the General Church Meeting which has a responsibility to consider the whole ministry of the church. It appoints the Church Stewards and elects representatives of the congregation to serve on the Church Council. ## **The Church Council (Managing Trustees)** The Church Council has authority and oversight over the whole area of the ministry of the church, including the management of its property. Aims and methods, the determination and pursuit of policy and the deployment of available resources are its responsibility. It appoints committees which have authority, in their own areas of responsibility, to initiate action, co-ordinate the work done in the church, advise the Church Council and report to it. Membership of the Church Council is either “Ex-officio” or by election at the General Church Meeting or by co-option by the Church Council itself. The Church Council members are the managing trustees of Wealdstone Methodist Church. The Custodian Trustees for property matters are the Trustees for Methodist Church Purposes, located in Manchester. On appointment, Trustees receive training in their responsibilities through guidance produced by the Methodist Conference and the leaflet ‘The Role of a Trustee’. The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the church for ensuring that financial statements comply with current legislation. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the church and their proper application under charity law and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud. Risks are regularly reviewed by the Church Council and recommendations followed up. Where necessary, advice from relevant professionals is sought. The Trustees have adopted a Safeguarding Policy in relation to children and vulnerable people, and all trustees are subject to DBS clearance. This is reviewed annually. There is no bar to anyone engaging in the activities of the church on the grounds of race, religion, gender or sexual orientation, saving that the trustees must by law be church members. The Church Council is responsible for producing this Trustees’ Report for the General Church Meeting and the Charities Commission. This Report for 2020 – 21 was approved by the General Church Meeting on 28 November 2021. ## _**THE AREAS OF CHURCH WORK**_ The Church Council has identified three “areas” of church work plus one additional area for “administration”. The names of these areas are: - Worship, Learning and Care - Ministry - Local and World Mission - Administration ## _**WORSHIP, LEARNING AND CARE:**_ This working area includes all the worship and learning activities that happen on a Sunday as well as discussion groups, Guild and the Wednesday communion services. Pastoral Care is monitored by the Pastoral Committee. ## **Services of Worship** Sunday: 10.30am. **Young Church** at 10.30 am Holy Communion is included on the fourth Sunday in the month at 10.30 am. Wednesday: Holy Communion at 11.30 (30 minutes) on the last Wednesday of the month ## **The Church Stewards** The General Church Meeting annually appoints as church stewards, two or more persons who are members of the Church. The church stewards are corporately responsible with the minister for giving leadership and help over the whole range of the church’s life and activity. This includes being responsible for ensuring that all services appointed on the circuit plan are duly held. ## **Communion Stewards** The Church Council annually appoints persons to serve as communion stewards who will make provision for the proper celebration of the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper ## **The Pastoral Committee** The Church Council annually appoints pastoral visitors and a Pastoral Committee secretary to share in the pastoral care of members and adherents. ## **Fellowship and Discussion Groups** **Wesley Guild** meets on Thursdays at 7.30 pm from October to February. **House Groups:** Two groups previously met monthly in a member’s home but during the pandemic on group has been meeting fortnightly online instead 2 ## _**MINISTRY**_ “Ministry” is about the mission of the church to all those who meet on or use the halls for any reason other than worship. Usually these people meet Monday to Saturday. Social activities run by the church are included here as well. ## **The Church Development Worker** The Church Council has employed a Church Development Worker for the past 5 years. The aim was to develop new opportunities for the church to interact with people from the community and other local churches. A core task is to lead and coordinate the work of the Toddlers’ Group. This employment ended on 31 August 2021 and a new “Church Community Worker” is being sought. ## **Social Activities Group** The Church Council annually appoints a Social Activities Group to arrange occasional social activities and outings for Church Members, adherents and friends. ## **Church Community Groups:** **The Friendship Café** offers a social activity and café on Wednesdays. **The Online Learning Centre** is a new group offering digital training to the community. **Toddlers’ Group** offers mid-week activities for young children and their parents or carers on Monday and Thursday at 10.00 am. **Shamwari** is a social group for members and adherents who normally live alone. ## _**LOCAL AND WORLD MISSION**_ Local and World Mission is about the mission of the church to people and organisations who are outside the immediate vicinity of the church premises. This includes work in the local community, working with other Methodist churches in the Harrow and Hillingdon Circuit and working with churches of other denominations. It also includes fund raising and other work in support of local and national charities. The charities supported by the church are listed in the accounts. ## **The Local and World Mission Committee** The Church Council annually appointed a convenor and secretary for the Local and World Mission Committee to discuss and plan the mission of the church and also to decide which charities will receive annual donations from the church. Due to Covid restrictions this committee did not meet between September 2020 and August 2021. A modified church management structure is being tried for the coming year. (See “Achievements” report below). ## _**ADMINISTRATION**_ The Finance and Property Committees functioned as a single committee during the year ## **The Finance Committee and the Church Treasurer** The Church Council annually appoints a church treasurer who keeps a record of all church income and expenditure and produces the Annual Accounts. The Church Council annually appoints a Finance and Property Committee to work with the treasurer on the financial planning of the church and to maintain the buildings and property. The Finance and Property Committee meets three times a year. The main sources of funds are weekly and monthly offerings, tax recoveries under Gift Aid, donations and some legacies. The church policy is to maintain in its General Reserve an amount equal to six months normal expenses. The Church Council annually appoints two Property Stewards. The role of Lettings officer is to manage the letting of the premises to organisations who rent the premises for their own purposes. This role is now being carried out by the minister. 3 ## _**Achievements During The Year**_ During the financial year, 1 September 2020 – 31 August 2021, the Church Council met three times. (The January meeting was cancelled as we were in a lockdown due to Covid-19 and there was little activity to discuss) The Church Council has appointed a Safeguarding Officer and the annual review of the church’s Safeguarding policy took place in October 2020. The following gives an indication of the work overseen or initiated by the Church Council during 1 September 2020 – 31 August 2021. For most of the financial year many church activities were curtailed due to the Covid pandemic and the consequent Government restrictions. These activities are expected to resume after September 2021. _Mission Plan_ : The church has produced a Mission Plan outlining the intended key activities for the year. The plan was on hold for most of the year up to August 2021. However, it was reviewed and now will be the basis of activity for the coming year. _Church Services_ : After a period of lockdown, the church restarted services from Sunday 6 September. However, Covid-19 restrictions were in place. There was no singing, socialising or after church coffee. Face masks were worn and track and trace recording was in place. After Christmas, due to the worsening pandemic situation, services were stopped again until Sunday 14 March. We were pleased that Easter services could be held this year, even although the Covid restrictions were still in place. When all legal restrictions were removed on 19 July “normal” services were cautiously restarted but people were encouraged to keep wearing masks when attending. There were 11 Sunday morning communion services with an average attendance of 50. Last year the average for just 5 services was 69. Seven of the 11 services had over 50 communicants. Strict Covid guidelines were followed for the preparation and administering of communion. Members remained in their seats instead of coming to the communion rail. This year, due to Covid restrictions, Wednesday communion services were not held. It is planned to restart these once per month from September 2021 There were no baptisms this year. Formally we still have a Young Church but it is currently not meeting. Normally, a _Worship Forum_ meets twice per year after a morning service. This year it was not possible to hold these meetings but it is planned to restart them soon. _Pastoral Committee Work_ : Pastoral visitors care for our members and adherents and distribute our church magazine. Their workload increased during lockdown periods as the pastoral leaders have to support the members, many of whom were shielding or self-isolating. Communication was maintained by telephone and social media as well as some “socially distant” visiting when it was allowed. The current membership of the church is 114 which is 6 lower than for the previous year. _Fellowship and discussion groups_ provide a means of sharing, discussion, bible study and prayer in people’s homes. The _Afternoon House Group_ and the _Evening House Group_ , did not meet this year but an online Bible Study group met monthly. _The Wesley Guild_ did not meet at all this year but plans to restart in October 2021 _The Social Activities Group_ did not arrange any outings or social events but hopes to plan events in the coming year. _Shamwari_ is a church group for people who live on their own. It too had to stop meeting but is restarting in the new year. _The Church Magazine, Dawn_ , which is normally published every other month, restarted with the October and December 2020 editions but was not produced in February. Since the April 2021 edition it has continued as normal. _Church Development Worker (CDW)_ ran the Wednesday _Friendship Café_ and _The Toddlers’ Group_ on Mondays and Thursdays. These had to stop during the Covid crisis. However, Zoom 4 conference calls, social media and outdoor, socially distant meetings were used to enable members to keep in touch with each other. During the year, together with a “Digital Ambassador” from the Enderley Road Patients’ Association, the CDW set up an _Online Learning Centre_ . This group offers digital skills training to local people who need access to government and health services which are available online, eg the NHS or surgery appointments. After several weeks of training, 20 students now know how to go online and find the support and resources that they need. It is hoped that more such courses will start in September, working with the NHS and designed especially for diabetic patients. Together with _Harrow Citizens_ the _Wealdstone Baby Bank_ was started in April. This helps and supports young families by providing baby clothes and small items of baby equipment. It meets in the hall on Friday mornings from 10.00am – 12.00 noon. The CDW, Kath Harrison, has now finished her employment and a new Church Community Worker is being sought to continue this work. ## _Charities supported and funds raised:_ At Christmas 2020 the church raised a total of £1,124 for _Action for Children_ from the annual gift service, the Christmas Card distribution, a church donation, home collecting boxes and socially distant carol singing outside the church. The Annual Bread and Cheese Lunch was held as a “Take Away” as it was not possible to meet for lunch. This raised £265 for the _Centre Point_ charity _Christian Aid Week_ collections were not held this year due to the virus restrictions but church members were encouraged to support the national appeals organised by the charity. _MHA_ : The annual envelope offering and box collection for Methodist Homes raised £538.67 including Gift Aid. The church also donated £3,350 to our regular list of local and world charities, which enables us to help people on the margins of society in Harrow and in the wider world A small team of members enables the church to support and promote _Fair Trade_ by selling _Traidcraft_ products. However, with services not being for much of the year, the level of activity was much lower. The _Finance and Property Committees_ has met three times during the year, sometimes by using online conference calls. The committee, including the treasurer who is also the Property Secretary, has maintained accounting records of the financial position of Wealdstone Methodist Church. (See attached accounts). Major financial decisions have to be approved by the Church Council. ## _Use of Premises by other Groups_ The church sponsored Scout Group continued to meet on Friday evenings. However, the Brownies, like the Guides the previous year, have closed down due to low numbers. The premises were let to various community groups: the Montrose Pre-School, a Parkinson’s UK Group, the Harrow African Caribbean Association and a Kumon educational group. All of these groups had to be suspended for some time due to the crisis but are now restarting. The premises are also let to other Christian denominations. _The Arise Church_ has been meeting here for many years. A new tenant is the _LifeSpring Romanian Fellowship_ Church, which started in February 2021. Their use of the premises is proving to be significant in terms of the number of regular meetings each week. This is providing more income, offsetting some of the losses due to cancellations caused by Covid. 5 THE MEfHODIsf CHURCH STANDARD FORM OF ACCOUNTS RECEIPTS AND PAYMENTS For the year ended 31 August 2021 WEALDSTONE MEfHODIsf CHURCH Inthe HARROW AND HILLINGDON CIRCUIT OF THE LONDON DISTrICT no 35136 Minist Helen Rlley Churrh Stewards Paul Phllllps Gllbert Sam (to 3111 July 2021) David Milne Reglstered Charlty No 1127748 TREASURER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR TO 31 AUGusf 2021 The COV1￿19 pand￿ll￿ and consequential kthknn(s} from Mard) 2020 has c(xrtinu84 to adve affect the financial po￿tion thr￿jgh the year 2020121. frcth all has sFwn a slight improvement of 0.75% as t￿npared with last year whaE irtome had reduced by Il%.
