## **St Paul’s Church Report** 

As a church here at St Paul’s in early January we start the Fit For Mission journey of being part of Church St Helens, which at first seem to be a very challenging unease journey, with more questions than answers, but as we have travelled along the journey it seems to have come a little easier, with the clergy of those who had voted to join Fit For Mission meeting every Tuesday and which is called the Clergy Leadership Team. 

The fist part of the journey that we undertaken as a Church was to look at a Pyramid review, this were a member of the Diocese Fit For Mission Team came to meet the Church members of St Paul’s to look at our strengths and weakness, looking at Community, Discipleship, Worship, Mission and Leadership, putting in place a mission statement _**“Come alongside our Community in Blackbrook to make Disciples”**_ 

As a clergy team, we put an action plan into place to elect a Mission and Growth Team and a Wardens Team, during the month of May we preached on Jesus sending the 72 out, how we in today world have to sent out into our communities and is God calling you to serve on one of these teams. 

We have carried on with our prayer triplets who meet during the month to focus on Prayer, which on a personal note as been a great blessing to us as a Church. 

We have held Messy Good Friday and Messy Christmas for families within our community and during the year we were invited to be a part of St Mary’s School quiet day focusing on prayer with team of 6 people leading both infants and juniors in different prayer activities. 

All in all God has really blessed us and we look forward to what is yet to come. 

Rev Clive Doran 

Part way through the year, the decision was made for the clergy to adopt a church each to focus on the transition to becoming Church St Helens. Clive took over responsibility for St Peter’s, Mark (Curate) was already looking after St Philip’s, and Joe would take over at St Paul’s. 

The primary focus has been to appoint the Growth and Vision Team and Wardens to reimagine ministry and mission in Blackbrook with the renewed vision. 

A significant opportunity for this was through St Paul’s 50[th] anniversary celebrations. Various events, activities and celebrations were planned throughout October to December, and included welcoming previous incumbents as guest preachers. The big focus during that time was “looking back, but not going back, rather looking back and being inspired by God for our future.” That remains central to our vision going forward into 2024. 

Part of this has been to refresh our Sunday worship with a new pattern of services under the principles of simplicity, creativity and strategy. It has also involved praying and planning using the Pyramid Review “marks” of a worship community: Community, Mission, Discipleship, Worship and Leadership to develop these areas which included running Alpha, renewing Lunch Club, and revitalising the relationship with the Church and Preschool. All while existing regular communities such as Tiddlers and Gladness continue to flourish. 

Rev Joe Magill

We have recreated a working examples of the layouts for the new accounting requirements of the Charities Act 1993, the Charities SORP (FRS102) Second Edition 2019 and the Church Accounting Regulations 1997. 

This is not a computer program. 

This is a collection of inter-related worksheets which, with alteration to suit your parish, may assist in the production of the year end accounts. 

It is necessary to start each year afresh and input the previous years figures to provide comparatives. 

Ensure you have taken a master copy of this disc and you back-up your data regularly. 

## **NOTE : For Accrual Accounts :-**

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the PCC of St.Paul's, Blackbrook** 

This  report  on  the  accounts  of  the  PCC  for  the  year  ended  31st  December  2023, which  are  set out  on  pages 7  to 13 , is  in  respect  of  an  examination  carried  out  under  Regulation 3 (3) of the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 ('The Regulations') and s43 of the Charities Act 1993 ('The Act') 

## **Respective  responsibilities  of  the PCC and the  Examiner** 

As  the  members  of  the  PCC  you  are  responsible  for  the  preparation  of  the  accounts. You  consider  that  the  audit  requirement of the Regulations and s.43(2)  of  the  Act  does  not apply.  It  is  my  responsibility  to  issue  this  report  on  those  financial statements  in accordance with the terms of  the Regulations. 

Basis  of  Independent  Examiner's  Report 

My  examination  was  carried  out  in  accordance  with  the  General  Directions  given  by  the Charity  Commission under  s.43(7)(b) of  the  Act and to be found in the Church guidance, 2006 edition, That examination includes a review 

of  the  accounting  records  kept  by  the  PCC  and  a  comparison  of  the  accounts  with  those records.  It  also  includes  considering  any  unusual  items  or  disclosures  in  the  financial statements and seeking  explanations  from  you  as  trustees  concerning  any  such  matters. 

The  procedures  undertaken  do  not  provide  all  the  evidence  that  would  be  required  in  an audit,  and  consequently  I  do  not  express  an  audit  opinion  on  the  view  given  by  the  accounts. 

Independent  Examiner's  Statement 

Basis for qualified opinion on financial statements 

In  connection  with  my  examination,  except for the matter set out 

in the ‘basis for qualified opinion on the financial statements’ above , no  matter  has  come  to  my  attention : 

- (1)       which  gives  me  reasonable  cause  to  believe  that  in  any  material  respect  the requirements  to  keep  accounting  records  in  accordance  with  section  41 of  the  Act ; and 

to  prepare  financial statements  which  accord  with  the  accounting  records  and  comply  with the  requirements of the Act and the Regulations 

have  not  been  met:  or 

- (2)      to  which,  in  my  opinion,  attention  should  be  drawn  in  order  to  enable  a  proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. 

The notes on pages  5 to 6 form part of these accounts

**PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST.PAUL'S BLACKBROOK NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2023** 

Page 2 

## 1.   ACCOUNTING  POLICIES 

The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  the  Church  Accounting Regulations  2006  together  with  applicable  accounting  standards  and  the SORP (2005). The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  under  the  historical  cost  convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and  liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body, nor that are informal gatherings of church members. 

## Funds 

Unrestricted  funds  represent  the  funds  of  the  PCC  that  are  not  subject  to  any  restrictions regarding  their  use  and  are  available  for  application  on  the  general  purposes  of  the  PCC. Funds  designated  for  a  particular  purpose  by  the  PCC,  are  also  unrestricted. 

Restricted funds represent donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund. 

## Incoming  Resources 

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognized when received. Tax refunds are recognized when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognized when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross. 

## **Resources  Expended** 

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognized when it is incurred and is accounted for gross. 

## Fixed  Assets 

No  value  is  placed  on  movable  Church  furnishings  held  by  the  Churchwardens  on  special trust  for  the  PCC  and  which require  a  faculty  for  disposal.  The  PCC  considers  this   to  be an  inalienable  property.  All  expenditure  incurred  during the  year  on  consecrated or benefice buildings and movable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off in the SOFA.
