The Parochlal Churth CounL¥l of the E¢deslastlcal Parish of Epptr The Annual Report frorn the Rertor for 2022 Our Vlsion Day in 2021 establtshed that our priorities for the next three years would focus on Worship, Fellowship and Community Engagement. Finanoal Sustainability. and justi and Incluslon. These are common to all the churches in ourTeam, and many of the activities we undertake are done in partnershlp with members of the congregations of Epping Upland and Cooper5ale. Whilst we have made progress in many areas, 2022 has also been a year when we have been reminded of some significant thallenges that we continue to try and find ways to address. Justlce and Inclu51on This was identlfied as a focus that 15 glven partlcular emphasSs In the Ilfe of our Church. Durin8 2022, it was a joy to work with Epping St John's School to help them en8a8e with the alIty of discrimination a8alnst those who identify as LGBTQl+, and acknowledge the Church's complldty In exacerbatlng thls. We organized a Pride Day wlth them, which has left us with a cross in the Church as a reminder that everyone's Identlty Is Gcrfl glven. We also lavnched"Queerly Beloved" to provide a space for those who have felt excluded from the Churth to explore questlons of fatth. We launched our Domèstic Abuse Survlvors Group (Thrlvel whlch has gone from Stn8th to strength and attratted additional fun(ling such that we will be able to expand the projert in 2023. This is only one aspect of our work in thls area- and we will be requlrln8 all PCC members to undertake the National Church's tralnlng course on Domestlc Abuse awaneSS durlng 2023. We have develOd and expanded our work amongst those affected by Oementla, holdlrvd a series of actlvltles In October whlch Included the holding of a dementla Informed service on a Sunday evenln& and hosting and or8an12ingthe first Dementlè Falrforthe Dlstrfrt. We were also able to improve the acces5 arrangements to the church to make them step free, and l am sure all would acknowledge that this has been done in a way that is really sensitlve to the exlsUng deslgn of the bulldlng. Fellowshlp and Comrnufilty Eniazement It wa5 good to see the Monday Market Coffee get re*stsblished post COVID, and also see Increaslng number5 of people attend Church Mice on Thursdays. We have also expanded our Work amongst Care Homes, and commissioned new members of the Pastoral Care Team. We contlnue to be involved in the life of all of our l(Kal Schools, and brought a number of Church Schools together for a Sln8ing Festlval in May. During 2022 we began hosti meetings of Safer Epplng partnership and we were able to host a resldents group so that they had a large enough space to resolve some challenges they We facing. Market Coffee has also become a popular locatlon for the local Police to meet with residents. The Tree Festlval was another amazing success- particularly given the prevailing economic climate. It was good to see so many visitor5, and to raise so much money for the Dementia Attion Alllance and for Thrive. The Open Day was also held for the first time since COVID, and brought many people to8ether to enjoy fellowship and explore the church and belltower. We brought together a large number of people for Remembrance, and also for the live stream of both the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations and Funeral of the late HM Queen Elizabeth 11.
We have continued to engage wtth Epping Forest Distrirt Coundl on the Heart of Epping projert. and we ended 2022 with plans in place for a public consultation on the project. Whilst we have been able to offer refreshments after some Sunday services again. thls is Still sporadic due to a lack of volunteers and thbs is affecting our ability toget to know each other as we would like. Various opportunities for study and fellowship were held duringthe (ir5e of the year- including Mindful Painting and the Craft 8rwp, and the Global Churd) Partnership. Ho•4ever, it MaInS a cause of concern that we have yet to find a way to make our occasional Bible groups as attrattive as would be ideal. Worship Worship Is the heartbeat of ary church. and we are blessed in Epplng to be able to offer a wide range of services across the year-from our regular Choral Eucharist, to informal Up Front services, Prayer and Praise to Choral Evenson8. These are au8mented by other occasional tlmes for worshlp- like the Dementia Informed Service, Bereavement Service and Ca( Servlces to mark the death of Queen Elizabeth 11. It has been good to see new members join the Chr. and the leadership of Up Front and Prayer and Praise. Churth Mice hès met every week durlng temi time to provide a tlme of w¢xshlp and fellowshlp for those wlth pre-school children. We have contlnued to livestream two of our weekly services. and broadost another on Zoom- and It has been encoura8ln8 to hear that pe¢)plè are usin8 thls as a way of engaging wlth us on weeks when they are not able to be physically In the bulldln8 or have moved away. There are also people now joining US re8ularly in the building who first got to know us through the livestream which further underscores the Importan of this mlnistry. It was a loy to be able to celebrate Chrlstmas for the first time slnce 2019 wfthout any concerns about COVID re5trlctlons, and to rejoice that thesè services were $0 well attended. FlnJnclal Sustalnjblllty Han8 reported last year that we had managed to pay Parlsh Share In full again, thls year was a very different story. We had a shortfall on this payment of £l(KXJ)+, and generally noticed a decllne in regular glvlng durlng the course of the year whlch can partly explained by the wider economlc sltuation. We also notlced lust before thè last annual meÈt5n8 that there werè Inaccuraies between OUT audited accounts and the amount showing on the bank statements. On investlgatlon. thSs dlscrepancy was found to be hlstoric- and had not been noticed by successive PCCS. APCMS and auditors. We established Flnance Committee as a form31 sub%roup of the PCC, and some members looked into this such that we were satlsfied there was no wrong doing as there was more money in the bank than our accounts were reporting. This ha5 caused us to change the way we monitor our finances to avoid a repetltlon of this sltuation, and to change our audltlng process. We also agree(I to establish a budget for the year which had not been done before, wlth a view to developire a 2-3 year plan to Bet back to financial sustainability. onclu51on As the above will show, there ha5 been much to celebrate during 2022- but also there are areas of cDncern that will need to be monfjtored a5 we travel through 2023. That we were able to achieve $0 much was due to the time and energy of so many people, vtho l am deeply aware are volunteer5.1 want to conclude by thanklnB you all for all that you do- and to acknowledge the partlcular contribution5 of my fellow members of the Leadership Team. our Churthwardens- Peter and Lucy- and all who serve on the PCC and in other capacities.
