THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF SAINT JOHN THE BAPTIST WOKING

Charity registration number: 1128277

Report for period between 06/03/2022 and 11/03/2023

Aims and purposes

St John’s Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the vicar in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is responsible for the maintenance of the church buildings, the Youth Centre, the assistant clergy’s house and the flat formerly used by our youth minister.

Objectives and activities

The primary objective of the PCC is summarised in the motto "To know Christ and to make Him known" . This remains the same year on year because the gospel never changes; ‘Jesus is the same yesterday and today and forever’ (Hebrews 13v8) .

The PCC is committed to encouraging and involving as many people as possible to become part of our parish community. Our services and worship put our faith into practice through regular Bible reading, teaching, music, singing and prayer.

In planning future activities, the members of the PCC will have regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission where this is relevant, and will include: Acts of worship which are open to all.

The provision of space for prayers, reflection and contemplation.
Pastoral work including visiting the sick, housebound and bereaved.
Provision of children’s and youth work for the local community, plus weddings, funerals, etc.
Provision of venues for community activities.
Teaching the Christian faith through sermons, courses and small groups.

Administrative Information

The Parish is composed of two churches: St John the Baptist in St John's village, the parish church, and Emmanuel in Mayford. Rev. Glyn Lucas is the incumbent and Rev. Peter Chamberlin is the Associate Minister. They were assisted by Rev. Robert Bennett (honorary OLM Curate, retired and with Permission to Officiate), Jan Morrison (Licensed Lay Minister), Mary Faulkner (Children’s Worker) until she stepped down in August 2022, Robin Langdon (Ministry Lead: Children’s Work and Music) and, from September 2022, Lys Price (Ministry Lead: All Age Worship). The leadership team was also joined in September 2022 by a Ministry Trainee, Kim Phillips.

Structure, governance and management

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

The following have served on the PCC since the last APCM, held on 6[th] March 2022:

Clergy : Rev Glyn Lucas and Rev. Peter Chamberlin.

Churchwardens : Gerardine Densham Brown and Richard Price.

Deanery Synod members : Gerardine Densham Brown, Richard Collinson, Tony Graham (who is also the Parish Treasurer) and Darren Hughes (Rev Glyn Lucas and Rev Peter Chamberlin, as members of the deanery clergy are also members).

PCC members : Samantha Barwick, Warwick Croucher, Graham Cundy, Nigel Cundy, Chris Dale, Oliver Faulkner, Timothy Horn, Jill Howard, Mary Kirkman, (Safeguarding Officer and co-opted), Gillian Margary, Victoria Page, Lys Price (until her appointment on the staff team), Tim Read, Neil Salt, Amir Sexton (co-opted), Sylvia Stock, Mike Stuart and Jane Trump.

The appointment of PCC members is governed by and set out in the Church Representation Rules. PCC members are elected for a three-year term, after which they stand down for at least a year. Day to day management is delegated to the incumbent and the churchwardens.

This year Oliver Faulkner, Michael Stuart and Nigel Cundy are standing down having served three years. We would like to thank them for their dedication and hard work.

The Standing Committee meets between PCC meetings when necessary and comprised the Incumbent, the Associate Minister, the churchwardens, Chris Dale and Darren Hughes.

The Emmanuel Committee is responsible for the day to day running and maintenance of its church.

Achievements and Performance

The numbers on the electoral roll to be reported at the APCM are St. John’s 233 (last year 229) and Emmanuel 21 (last year 22). This makes a parish total of 254 (last year 251).

The average Sunday attendance during October was adults 205 (205 in 2021) and children 36 (34 in 2021); there were approximately 1,801 attendances (including schools services) over the Christmas period (1,065 in 2021).

There was 1 baptism and 1 Service of Thanksgiving (5 and 0 in 2021); no confirmations (0 in 2021) and 4 weddings (2 in 2021). During 2022, 9 funerals (13 in 2021), 3 cremations (6 in 2021) and 10 interments of cremated remains (5 in 2021) were conducted.

Emmanuel Report

Emmanuel held mainly lay-led services during the year, with recorded clergy sermons from St John’s. Clergy take the monthly Holy Communion service; and other services when they can. Monthly coffee mornings took place, some with visiting Christian speakers, usually attracting some 30 local residents. Monthly Knit ‘n’ Natter meetings were held, making handicrafts for a variety of charities. There were several bookings by outside organisations who find the quiet and comfortable premises welcoming. Emmanuel hosted the Woking Welsh Society’s annual St David’s Day service, led by the Archdeacon of Surrey, Paul Davies. Routine maintenance of the church buildings and grounds continued as far as possible.

Financial Review

The accounts presented with this Annual Report have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006, together with Charities SORP (FRS 102): accounting regulations stipulate that the financial statements are prepared on an accruals basis. They have been subject to an independent examination by Fuller Spurling, Chartered Accountants.

St John’s with Emmanuel PCC Report 2023

Our income exceeded our expenditure by £10,812 in the year, which is very welcome but is a significant decrease from last year’s £31,855.

Our total income fell by 5% (£18,792), with voluntary income decreasing by over 10% (£37,629); this saw a fall in both planned regular giving (roughly 9% or £24,337) and other gifts (down 18% or £13,292). The decrease was partly offset by our income from lettings, which almost tripled (an increase of £19,478).

Costs were very similar to last year, increasing by less than 1%, and the church has controlled expenditure well, despite increasing energy costs. However, the eventual appointment of a youth minister will increase our annual costs and there are potential repairs needed to the church and our other buildings; the small surplus therefore helps to build our reserves in preparation for these.

Maintenance of buildings and other assets

There are a large number of routine maintenance tasks required every year. The gutters, flat roofs and rainwater goods continue to need clearing. The PCC are responsible for 7 central heating boilers which must be maintained and certified safe each year. Other annual service requirements include the fire protection systems, the organ, the lightning protection system and narthex doors – to mention just a few! There are a large number of smaller repairs needed which we are slowly progressing, these include electrical, plumbing and heating problems. There are also likely to be some further high cost repairs needed in the near future. The roof over the Lounge and Narthex has come to end of its life and must be replaced. There are a number of electrical works needed to both churches and the Youth Centre soon.

A quinquennial inspection (QI) was carried out at Emmanuel recently. The report has just been received which highlights a small number of significant works required there, though they were mostly already known about.

The last of the major works required on St Johns Church and identified as immediate during the 2020 QI was to repair the stonework on the western gable ends and the south side of the Church. This work will have been completed by the time of the APCM at a cost of approx. £20,000. There are still a good number of other non-urgent QI rectifications outstanding, though few will involve major works. Many of the smaller jobs will continue to be ticked off – some will remain pending for a good while yet and it is doubtful if others will be done before the next QI.

Once again, we must thank the Tuesday men’s group for the excellent work done keeping up with a lot of jobs that are needed just to keep the church working properly. There are also a number of individuals to thank for practical tasks done, I will mention Ollie Barwick and Jack Hayward, but there are others.

There is also an ongoing wish list of about a dozen projects agreed by the PCC for action when time and money permits. Three were completed during the last 12 months and hopefully more will be done during this year.

Risk management

The major risks to which the PCC is exposed have been reviewed and systems and procedures designed to manage or minimise those risks have been established. A rolling annual review is established and appropriate updates will be incorporated into our policies.

Safeguarding

The Parish of St John’s, Woking is committed to the safeguarding, care and nurture of the children and young people within our church community, and also to encouraging an environment where all people and especially those who may be vulnerable are able to worship and pursue their faith journey with encouragement and in safety.

We are also committed to the implementation of the Diocese of Guildford Safeguarding Policy and Procedures and the relevant statutory legislation and guidance for the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We have complied with the duty to have due regard to section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016.

Following changes to the national guidance on safer recruitment, our recruitment process for volunteers was updated during 2022. This includes seeking a minimum of two references for anyone wishing to volunteer in roles with children, young people or vulnerable adults unless they have been volunteering at either of our churches on a regular basis in another area of regulated activity for at least 3 years.

Anyone working with children and/or vulnerable adults, both on a paid or voluntary basis, is required to complete a DBS check which will include the completion of a Confidential Declaration Form. This also applies to members of the pastoral team and PCC members as the PCC approves activities involving children and vulnerable adults. The validity of a DBS check is 3 years and has to be renewed if still in role.

During the course of 2022 many of our volunteers renewed their safeguarding training as sessions are valid for 3 years. PCC members, children’s and youth leaders and helpers and members of the pastoral team are required to complete basic awareness and foundation courses in safeguarding which are available online. Certain roles require additional safeguarding training in the form of leadership, safer recruitment and people management and domestic abuse sessions. PCC members are also required to complete the domestic abuse module as are members of the pastoral group. The leadership sessions are delivered via zoom by the diocese and the safer recruitment training is available online.

We use the Parish Dashboard which is an electronic management tool used by many parishes across the country to monitor safeguarding arrangements in the church. It is designed to make church safeguarding life simpler and clearer and enables the parish to keep up to date with local and national changes in safeguarding requirements.

Every year the PCC agrees the Parish Safeguarding Policy and Policy Statement. A copy of the Policy Statement is displayed in the church both at St Johns and Emmanuel and a copy is sent to the Diocese for their records. Our Safeguarding Officer is Mary Kirkman and Kathryn Winfield is our DBS Administrator.

Youth Work

At St John’s we are blessed to have a church family stretching from just a few days old, to over 100, and everything in between, and we give thanks for those aged between 11 and 18.

This year we have continued to run regular youth groups on Sunday mornings, and Tuesday evenings.

Page 4 of 8

St John’s with Emmanuel PCC Report 2023

On Sundays the group were discipled as they studied Philippians 2:5-11, Ruth, Malachi, had topical discussions of Work/Rest/Play, and worked through the Christian Institute’s “Living Christianity (Youth edition)” which addresses many of the areas in which Christianity and the values of society today come into conflict (not least in the experience of young people of school age).

On Tuesdays the programme focusses on providing an apologetic for Christianity which will be accessible for those standing outside the faith and looking in. It included discussing the book of Jonah and the good news it presents; series’ entitled “Questions Jesus answered”, “Questions Jesus asked”, and “Isn’t the Bible full of contradictions?”. That programme is accompanied by games and activities in the sports hall and the coffee bar in the Youth Centre, and at St John’s Lye or vicarage marquee in the summer.

Numbers aren’t everything, but they are significant. On average we saw 10 young people aged 11-16 on Sunday mornings during the Autumn term, and 12 each Tuesday evening, drawing from a pool of over 20 on our register. In the early part of 2023 numbers have increased further, averaging 13 or 14 on Sundays and Tuesdays.

It has been wonderful to see our young people taking a more active part in the life of the adult church, serving coffee, in the music group, and helping at events such as the Nativity on Christmas Eve. Older members of the group have also attended a ‘Welcome lunch’, and began taking their place with the adult congregation at the 10am service on Sundays. We hope and pray that group members will begin to attend at 6:30pm too.

Other highlights this year included:

Days out at the ‘Sorted Nano’ event in May, and ‘Sorted’ in November.
A weekend away at Runways End Activity Centre in the February half-term holiday, run jointly with Send Evangelical Church. 12 of our young people came and enjoyed outdoor activities and teaching from Luke 15 by Jamie Johnston and Anne Wigmore, experienced youth workers from Basingstoke.
Socials including Laser-Quest and McDonalds, ice-skating, a pancake party, water-fight, and a barbecue with the youth group from Send.
Summer ‘camps’ were well attended. Several young people went to ‘Contagious (Go Central)’ and to ‘The Beach’, and Gatton CYFA Venture.

There are challenges for this work. Thanks God that the pool of regular leaders on Sundays and Tuesdays has expanded. In part this is thanks to the introduction of Kim Phillips to our staff team as Ministry Trainee. Nevertheless there is an ongoing need for a youth minister to direct the work and train the team.

We are conscious of the need to kick-start the group for school years 10+. Plans to do so have almost come together. We also want to find capacity to disciple individuals more effectively, and to resume regular contact with Winston Churchill school (though the door remains closed to us at present).

Please pray for the whole area of youth work at St John’s, for young people and their families, and in particular about the challenges mentioned above.

Children’s and Families Work

2022 saw a new team start following the resignation of our last Children’s and Families Worker after many years of faithful service. We are all extremely grateful for her work and the strong foundation she left. The new team consists of:

Robin Langdon - Ministry Lead: Children’s Work and Music Lys Price - Ministry Lead: All Age Worship Kim Phillips - Ministry Trainee

Sunday Mornings - Sunday morning groups remain strong and steady although numbers each week fluctuate widely. We have moved to a new teaching programme “Mustard Seeds” and aim to teach the children a whole Bible overview across four years with all groups learning the same topics.

Schools - Following encouraging meetings with all three local primary schools we continue with Open the Book assemblies at both Oaktree and St John’s Primary and have started fortnightly whole school assemblies about Christian topics at Hermitage school. Alongside this, all year groups visit the church at least once a year (RE visit, Christmas, Easter, Harvest). At St John’s Primary we also had the opportunity to do some singing assemblies to teach Christian hymns and songs.

Christmas/Advent - This year we held an advent event with crafts, songs and storytelling which was well attended by children and their parents. The Christmas Eve Nativity Service was very busy with many non-church families attending.

Dangerous Kids Club (7-10 year olds) began in September. The group, formally known as Ignite, had not been running since the first lockdown. Attendance from the start has been encouraging with numbers now consistently between 15-19 children. There is a team of five regular leaders. Each meeting is one hour long, split approximately into three even blocks of a game or a craft, then refreshments and the Bible talk, and finally a portion of a film. A family event was held before Christmas where a good number of parents attended. A Star Chart has recently been introduced, and the learning of memory verses.

All-age spots - There is a great team of enthusiastic all-age ‘spotters’ and a useful termly meeting for introducing new topics and sharing successes and less successful elements of delivering an all-age spot was introduced during the year. There is a new plan to have a memory verse for each all-age spot series.

All-age services - At an all-age service last year a parent and child ‘hub’ space at the front right of the church was trialled. The idea worked well, providing an area dedicated for parents to be able to sit near their children who often are invited up to the front of church to view and/or participate in activities. The pattern of all-age services is changing in 2023 to ensure they are evenly spread across the year.

Holiday Club - The summer event was back up to full strength and well attended by children from the local community. The week concluded with the Sunday Service. The children were invited to a new Holiday Club Reunion, at the very end of the summer holiday and were joined by their parents for the last session. More than 25 children and many parents attended the Reunion, which also provided a platform to promote the other church groups starting up the following week.

None of this would be possible without God and the team would also like to extend their thanks to the teams of volunteers for all their commitment and hard work.

Pastoral Support Group

There is a team of nine volunteers in the pastoral support group, who visit people who are not well and those who are not able to, or have difficulty in getting out. Sometimes requests are made to visit people who have personal problems that they wish to talk about in confidence. The group is also in regular contact with people in the parish by phone - helping many home bound people feel

connected to the church. The aim is to provide spiritual encouragement and pray with people whenever we can.

The group assists the clergy when they take Holy Communion to Nursing Homes and sheltered housing in the parish at Easter and Christmas.

Hand-made cards are made by a church member and are sent to people in our congregation who are sick, bereaved or going through a difficult time.

Sidesmen

Over twenty people have served as Sidesmen during the year at the regular Sunday Services and the additional Christmas and Easter ones. Many thanks to all who have served in this way.

The Wider Church

Woking Deanery is part of the administration of the Church of England and consists of 14 local Parishes. It is one of 12 Deaneries in the Guildford diocese. It is intended to be the first line of communication between Parishes and the Church hierarchy. Topics for debate and recommendation to Diocese or general synod can be proposed at any time and by anyone. Does any member of this church have anything it would like the Diocese or General Synod to do something about? Please get involved: talk to one of our synod reps. The current representatives from St. Johns on Deanery Synod are Richard Collinson, Darren Hughes, Ged Densham-Brown and Tony Graham who were elected at the APCM in 2020 and come to the end of their 3 year term at this APCM. Rev Glyn Lucas and Rev Peter Chamberlin are also members. Do consider standing for election to Deanery Synod at this APCM. The Synod usually meets 3 times a year although there are also regular monthly meetings of clergy within the Deanery. This year there have been three general meetings covering various topics. The latest meeting shared some good ideas that had been tried successfully by various churches in the Deanery (and some well beyond).

General Synod and Diocese of Guildford

Rev Glyn Lucas and Rev Peter Chamberlin are our representatives on Diocesan Synod. St Johns Church does not currently have a representative on General Synod.

Mission

St Johns with Emmanuel support a number of mission partners through recognised organisations which share our convictions. We support them financially, by regular contact with a member of our congregation and through our corporate prayers. Our current partners at St John’s are:

Robbie and Lizzie Bellis (Crosslinks) who have been engaged in work on a church plant in Louvain-la-Neuve in Belgium since 2019 and evangelism amongst university students.
Josh and Cathy Hooker (Crosslinks) who moved to Northern Ireland a year ago where they are leading training ministries and local mission. This is a continuation of the work they were doing in Namibia to where they hope to return in a few years.
Matt and Andrea Vaughan (Interserve), Mission Enablers based in Solihull developing outreach networks with Afghan and Pakistani communities, drawing on their many years of service in Pakistan.
Brendan and Jo (SIM) are both involved in various mission initiatives at their local church, school and university in Asia. Brendan teaches at a university in Asia but also involved developing local Christian leadership while Jo runs women’s study groups.
