The Parish of Wickford and Runwell

Aims and purposes

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of Wickford and Runwell is responsible for co-operating with the Team Vicar (House for Duty), the Revd Sue Wise, while the Team Rector’s post is vacant, in promoting within the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the church. The PCC is specifically responsible for the church buildings of the parish, St Andrew's, London Road, Wickford, St Catherine's, Southend Road, Wickford, and St Mary’s, Runwell, and the church halls associated with St Catherine's and St Mary's, and offers oversight to the District Councils of each of these churches, as they manage the day-to-day life of the buildings and congregations.

Objectives and Activities

The PCC is committed to enabling worship in all three churches which resources those who share in it to live lives of faithfulness and service, is welcoming and attractive to newcomers, and helps to make God known to those on the fringes of faith. We are committed, also, to living out our faith, both corporately and individually, in ways which serve the local community practically and pastorally.

Achievements and performance

Worship and prayer

Patterns of worship have been shaped by the Ministry Team, led by the Team Vicar (HfD), Revd Sue Wise, in conjunction with the PCC in accordance with the changing government guidelines for worship during the COVID-19 pandemic. We continued to live-stream our services via Facebook, and (while able) posted recordings to our YouTube channel. From Easter we were able to return to worship in the churches, while we continued to livestream one Sunday service and the midweek Eucharist that restarted face to face in May. From June we were able to have two Sunday services, one at 10am in either St Mary’s or St Andrew’s (alternating bimonthly) and an 11am at St Catherine’s. St Catherine’s remained open for Private Prayer on Wednesday mornings, and there are a number of loyal attendees.

Our average Sunday attendance for October across the parish was 31, (with an additional average of 20 online) during which time we had one joint service, hosted the Deanery Confirmation, and held evening services in all churches, including two Commemoration of the Departed services, which were well attended. We were unable to hold our planned Christingle and Crib Services at Christmas, because of the high rate of infection in schools. The numbers for Midnight Mass, and Christmas as a whole, were significantly lower than our usual attendance, as people celebrated with their families.

As many families had postponed their children’s baptisms during the lockdowns of 2020, we were pleased to be able to go ahead with many of these, with some restrictions remaining in place depending on when they were held. There was a total of 33 baptisms, of which two were adults, and three of our number were confirmed by Bishop John in October. There were 11 weddings in the parish, with a number still on hold till the couples can gather all their families. Our funeral ministry continued with 33 funerals conducted by our clergy in either church or crematorium and 4 memorial services where funerals had been limited by restrictions the previous year.

We were able to recommence Messy Church, first via ZOOM and later face to face in the vicarage garden and then in church, inviting families who had brought children to baptism in previous years, and church families.

We have been blessed with new people who have brought their musical skills and now have two organists who will play at St Mary’s and St Andrew’s as well as our regular organist at St Catherine’s, which considerably lifts our worship as we begin to sing again in church.

Deanery Synod

Two members of the PCC sit on the Deanery Synod, as well as our clergy. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the Church. There were four meetings in 2021, the first being via ZOOM, and in October we hosted a Synod meeting in St Andrew’s church. Speakers throughout the year have included Revd James Gilder, the Diocesan Environmental Officer, Jamie Sawmill from Bar’N’Bus and the Acting Archdeacon of Southend, Revd Canon Mike Power.

Our Churches and Halls

Our buildings are maintained diligently by our churchwardens and the DCCs, ensuring work is carried out promptly and appropriately, with all the necessary checks in place. All three churches have received their latest quinquennial inspection in 2021, with varying amounts of work to be undertaken, particularly with the older buildings. The church halls and St Andrew’s Centre are well maintained and are beginning to be used more as restrictions have lifted. At St Andrew’s the painted windows are undergoing refurbishment and the car park and grounds have been tended frequently to improve the appearance. At St Catherine’s the cracks in the wall where the buttresses were repaired are being closely monitored. At St Mary’s there are a number of items that have to be taken care of in the next few years, as would be expected of a Grade 1 listed building. Our churchyards are well maintained, although there has been tree damage during the storms and with a Copper Beech at St Mary’s shedding a branch unexpectedly. We are encouraging flora and fauna by keeping some areas ‘wild’. All three churches are considering their environmental impact and looking to the future towards the goal of net zero-carbon set by the Church of England.

Pastoral care

Much pastoral care within our congregations is informal and mutual. Our team of pastoral visitors and clergy continues to support individuals in need, and have once more been able to offer Home Communion. Visits to local care homes for services has been able to restart with appropriate precautions in place. During the periods of lockdown the pastoral visitors and clergy were in frequent phone and email contact with as many parishioners as was possible, with networks of support built up within congregations and via our Mothers’ Union. A Prayer Circle operates when specific requests are made for those in need of prayer.

Mission and evangelism

A team from across the parish has restarted volunteering at the ecumenical Gateway Project, the local foodbank. Congregation members continued to give generously in kind. Clergy and laity support the work of local schools as governors and in taking assemblies. The Open the Book Team, who tell Bible stories in dramatic form, have not been able to return to the schools so are using technology to video the stories and send them to the schools, thus enabling a new school to be added. Regular visits have recommenced in one of our four local care homes, while others have been approached, and visits to specific residents are made when requested. The churches have a strong tradition of hospitality to the local community, especially through coffee mornings, lunches and social events, and these were much missed during the lockdown periods. The coffee morning in Runwell Church Hall restarted on a weekly basis, and Meet and Make sessions in St Andrew’s continued to reach out to those on the fringe of and beyond our congregations, once able to recommence after lifting of restrictions. Occasions for sharing and exploring faith have been created through our education programme. We held our annual Parish Study Day in January and our Lent Course on ZOOM as the lockdown continued. We later explored The Parables in two new Study Groups that are still

running. The parish, under the leadership of a small group of laity, raises funds for the Tumaini Education Project of Positive Life Kenya and this giving continued. In 2021 we donated £742.82. We are currently committed to raising about £210 each quarter (US$ 275). Our regular donations go a long way in Kenya. Each of our three churches continues giving to chosen charities, and to respond to particular appeals, such as The Church Homeless Trust and the Samaritan’s Purse Christmas Shoebox Appeal.

Throughout the pandemic our Facebook Group has continued to increase in membership, and new people have attended church in person, resulting in two new members being confirmed. Our Facebook Group, Pages and website are kept up to date with news and schedules as well as daily prayer offering. St Mary’s includes their news and views in the regular Runwell newsletter that goes to every house in Runwell.

Ecumenical relationships

Churches Together in Wickford and Runwell are responsible for jointly supporting the Gateway Project Foodbank that is run out of the local Salvation Army premises and staffed by volunteers from across the churches under their supervision. A minsters’ group meets every two months to discuss this and other projects and for mutual support. Together we arrange the annual Walk of Witness on Good Friday and the Church’s choir for the Town Christmas event. During the pandemic our Team Vicar(HfD) and the Administrator of the Wickford Christian Centre have circulated video stories to the local schools.

Financial review

Total receipts on unrestricted and designated funds were £85,910 (last year £88,500). These included £44,916 (last year £60,727) voluntary income of which £6,284 (last year £12,464) was tax recovered from Gift Aid. Restricted fund donations of £3,416 (last year £1,253) were also received. Last year (2020) a grant of £29,912 was also received for urgent maintenance work at St Catherine’s church.

Total expenditure on unrestricted and designated funds was £67,567 (last year £86,419). This apparent improvement is masked by the Parish Share of £24,000 (last year £49,000).

The net result for the year was an excess of receipts over payments of £20,224 from all funds. Adding bank and deposit balances brought forward at the beginning of the year, the balances carried forward at 31[st] December 2021 were £47,870. This includes £12,347 in restricted funds.

The Treasurer would like to thank all those in the treasury team, in particular Mike Gibson who encouraged and supported him in the conversions to the single computer system. One of the benefits of this system should be the future provision of accurate and timely information to the PCC to enable better management of income and expenditure.

The PCC will need to work to improve our income and reduce our expenditure. This will enable better future planning to meet our aims and pay a larger proportion of our requested contribution to the Parish Share.

Reserves policy

The PCC does not currently have a reserves policy. Advice recommends maintaining a balance on free reserves (net current assets) which equates to at least three months unrestricted payments. This is equivalent to £17,000. The cash balance of £35,523 held on unrestricted (including designated) funds at the year end exceeds this amount.

Volunteers

We would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our churches the lively and vibrant communities they are, in particular our churchwardens, our lay ministers in various roles, those who sit on our committees and help with our outreach teams.

Structure, governance and management

The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Council Powers Measure.

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The PCC consists of the incumbent(s), churchwardens and members elected by those members of the congregations who are on the electoral role of the churches.

The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish, including deciding on how funds of the PCC are to be spent. New members receive initial training into the workings of the PCC.

Given its wide responsibilities the PCC has a number of committees each dealing with a particular aspect of parish life.

These committees, which include worship, mission and outreach and fabric and finance, are all responsible to the PCC and report back to it regularly, minutes of their decisions being received by the full PCC and discussed as necessary.

The PCC has established DCCs (District Church Councils), the purpose of which is to carry out in relation to a specified district in the parish in which there is at least one church or building licensed for public worship, such functions of the PCC as are delegated to it.

The PCC have due regard to the House of Bishops guidance in relation to safeguarding. The Parish Safeguarding Officer is a member of the PCC and speaks regularly to that standing agenda item for each meeting, ensuring that the safeguarding policy is reviewed and agreed annually, that appropriate DBS checks are up to date, and that each PCC member is aware of their responsibilities and required training. All the Ministry Team are trained to Leadership level via the Diocesan Safeguarding Team.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  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. During the year all accounts were converted to use the Finance Coordinator computer software. Data was entered back to 1[st] January 2021. Previously only St Andrew’s accounts and St Catherine’s accounts (Church accounts only) were using this system. ‘Last year’ figures in the Detailed Analysis of Income and Expenditure are therefore omitted.

  3. Fixed assets retained for church use are the freehold halls at St Catherine’s and St Mary’s.

  4. The Fund Movement Summary includes the restricted funds. As at 31[st] December 2021 there were 11 restricted funds as follows.

St Andrew’s Charity Fund is redundant, as any money collected for charities is usually managed outside the PCC accounts as an agency. This fund has a balance of £0.

St Andrew’s Fabric Fund is to be spent on anything affecting the church building and probably the hall as that was the original Mission Church building.

St Catherine’s Charity Fund is redundant, as any money collected for charities is usually managed outside the PCC accounts as an agency. This fund has a balance of £0.

St Catherine’s Churchyard Fund is to be spent on the maintenance of the churchyard.
