## VICAR’S LETTER 

I’ve said in a few places that unlike every other APCM, this one feels like an exercise in doing what we must, rather than doing what is most necessary. This has not been anywhere near the year which we had hoped for and planned. This is not the time for setting new vision or being gung-ho about the future. 

So, at first, I struggled with what to say. What needs to be said, is what needs to be celebrated. 

What we can celebrate this year is each other. We can celebrate the generosity of spirit, the action of prayer and the many ways in which we have had the privilege of serving one another in difficult circumstances. We can celebrate those we have lost, even as we experience the pain of missing them. 

Before singling out specific people and areas, I want to thank everyone. 

Thank you for all that you were before the pandemic, all that you have been throughout it and all that you will be wherever we end up.It is important to thank people for what they have done. In times we have all found hard, on many, many levels, before doing so, it’s important to say that we are all valued for who we are, first and foremost as well as being valued for what we do. 

I have been reminded how much the church is all of us. Not leaders or staff or buildings or heroes, but a family, a community of people. With God at our centre, in front to guide and at the rear to make sure no one is left behind. We are all needed, wanted and called. 

I am currently (slowly) working my way through “You Are Enough”, by Jonathan Puddle. A series of daily writing and meditation exploring how we can love ourselves as God loves us. I thought this was an area in which I was strong. It turns out I have a long way to go. 

I believe that the Gospel which we need to preach into the coming weeks and months is the eternal gospel of Jesus which has always been preached, but we need to frame it not so much in our identity as overcomers, but in our identity as those who follow a servant king. To become those who know what it is to be broken and to be held in our brokenness, those who are not arrogant and overconfident but understand our own brokenness and our need for Jesus.Those who weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice, offering Jesus as the only way through these trying times. 

And so, back to thanking people. If I do not mention your name, that does not mean you didn’t contribute, aren’t seen or are less important. I long for us to be a more encouraging and less critical church.As we celebrate some individuals let us be generous and if you notice people that I have left out, please take the time to contact them yourself and thank them for all they have done and all that they are, rather than correcting me. 

I must start with those who have served and loved our children. It has been a very hard time to know how to continue to disciple children and young people. We have spent most of the pandemic without any specific paid workers in this area. 



Those who have stepped up and stepped in have been a godsend and I am extremely grateful for all of the parents who have taken this as an opportunity to step up and to journey deep in faith with their families rather than give up or step back. 

Alison Fry and Anna Martin are the first people that come to mind, but then comes an army of others who have done so many things, big and small that I can’t list here. The innovations that have come out of the difficulty have been a joy to all of us. The families at Forest Church (St John’s) and the leaders providing kids zoom room space (St Stephen’s) have been a joy to behold and I have done next to nothing to make that happen. 

Production teams will be thanked elsewhere, but those who provided the kit and those who have made it work are greatly to be appreciated. 

Staffing has been an issue. We knew that for various reasons there would be turnover of staff team in 2020 and a year of prayer for recruitment. The pandemic put paid to this careful plan and we have run very ad hoc. I’m deeply grateful for all those who have been on that staff team at various points and especially those who filled in. Jeff Smailes and Karenza Mahtani I have both gone above and beyond. Karenza in taking on a staff role voluntarily and Jeff in consistently working many more hours than he is paid for. 

We will be thanking those who are finishing terms of service this time, Jonathan Martin, Graham Thomas and Jane Tranter amongst others. 

It feels a hard time to properly thank and celebrate people. And all of these have served so diligently often in trying circumstances, through a time of transition which has added much complexity to their roles. 

I had hoped that 2020 would be the year where transition turned into growth, it seems that 2021 might be that year. But there is always fruitfulness in discipline and character in waiting and the longer we wait, I hope, the greater the fruit. 

I am trying to declare everyday a verse from Isaiah, this past few years has taught me my finite abilities, my failings and needs. I know that in my own strength very little is possible, but I cling on to all that God can do in our weaknesses. 

Declare with me Isaiah 14:27: 

## _“The Lord who rules over all has planned it._ 

_Who can stop him?_ 

_He has reached out his powerful hand._ 

_Who can keep him from using it?”_ 

David Hammond 



## GATHERINGS 

## St John’s Church, Westwood 

There were so many services done in so many ways: 

Streaming from the vicarage, streaming from church, recordings and stremaing from homes around the parish, David and Caroline's infamous after-service-diatribes, creative kids stuff from around the parish (Thank you Smailes, wanklings and Dean’s), hybrid church, communion in the vicarage garden, mown pods in the field to keep us distant, nativity for toddlers online(wow!), christmas carols in the car park. What a creative bunch! Who knew we had all that in us? 

At St John’s we are so grateful to God for Josh and Roxy who took on livestreaming our services. Their arrival to join the church in Jan 2020 was an actual Godsend. It has been amazing to be able to be joined by so many digitally and we pray continually about the ongoing impact of this new window to the world. 

## St Stephen’s Church, Canley 

At St Stephen’s we began pre-recorded services in March. Thanks goes to all those who adapted so quickly in challenging and scary times to lead services, lead worship and preach. It took great courage to continue to use the gifts God had given His people and put them out there online! Particular thanks to those who gave many many hours of time to editing the videos. From November we moved to live streaming from the building, inviting a small number of people to join us in person who were unable to access online content. Thanks again to the team (Mike Ashelby, Michael Lane and Tom Hickinbottom) who worked so hard to get the tech in place. We enjoyed gathering in person during the Autumn term on Sunday evenings for a quiet reflective space and communion. 

Before the pandemic at St Stephen’s, we enjoyed social time during the middle of our worship services as part of our expression of Church, which we called “Cake Break.” From March onwards we moved to Cake Break on Zoom which has been a valuable time of fun, games, catching up, sharing, and praying for each other. Thank you to those who hosted and came along. 

## Burton Green 

Before the first lockdown we enjoyed the first couple of months meeting for services and community breakfasts. Once lockdown started, we found that having regular 1-1 phone conversations really deepened our relationships and helped us to get to know each other better. We then started ( **even** simpler!) online services and bring-your-own breakfast chats. Through these we enjoyed being able to stay connected and worship God together our bigger group too. It was great that so many were able to make the transition and persevere with the technology to ‘meet’ online. 

From October, we decided it was time to try something new; starting to meet in smaller groups that would focus on prayer for Burton Green village, each other, and going deeper in relationship together. 



Looking forward, we’re excited to spend in-person time with our local friends and neighbours again, discern new ways of engaging and connecting with the community, and invite them on a journey of exploring faith. 

## PASTORAL/MISSIONAL RESPONSE TO PANDEMIC 

From St Stephen's perspective this has been a major focus for the year. How we have looked after each other. Also, the co-ordinated care fund (contribution from across bases) but also how people volunteered to pick up shopping, take food to people they didn't know etc - there's some great stories which would be good to capture) Also Food Hub has been a major development in 2020. 

Many at St John’s have served by being good neighbours, either through their community of mission or from their household. Thank you to those who contributed so generously to the Care Fund which we set up which has supported folks mainly in Canley but has been contributed to from across the Bridge. 

## BAPTISMS, WEDDINGS, FUNERALS 

Although no baptisms took place during 2020, we’re looking forward to this beginning again. At St Stephen’s we had to delay a number of adult baptisms in 2020 due to Covid restrictions but look forward to them taking place in June 2021. Two weddings at St John’s have been delayed from 2020. Funerals also were restricted in numbers and this year we remember much loved member of our church; Elizabeth Kennell. 

## TEACHING 

During the year of 2020, the Bridge as a collective have done teaching series together and in our individual church bases as God has led, some of the series we’ve looked at are: “We Need Jesus” during the Autumn, Colossians during the Summer and during our Spring terms church bases looked their own series; St Stephen’s looked at Family & Community then Josiah and at St John’s we followed a series looking at Creation through to Restoration. 

We’re looking forward to continuing to look at teaching series across the Bridge and trying out some new rhythms in the future. We are also looking forward to restoring the rhythms of podcasting our teaching as our capacity grows. 

## PRAYER & PROPHECY 

As we went into lockdown, we moved our 9am Prayers online and invited the Bridge family to join in from home. It has been a joy to see new faces join in interceding for our world, community, and church. 

Prophecy Clinic, like everything, had to adapt in 2020 and we headed onto Zoom. Since then, we have welcomed people from across the Bridge and it’s been a privilege listening for and sharing God’s love with them. 

Sunday Nights were introduced at St Stephen’s during the Autumn term to offer a space to pray together as restrictions allowed. 



## CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS 

## Nativity Trail 

2020 saw our first ever Canley Nativity Trail. Whilst we were sad not to do our usual Christingle Service the pandemic enabled another vision Sarah had had for several years to see fruition. Despite the pouring rain, 150 people walked the Trail. Local residents and members of St Stephen’s filmed small parts of the Christmas Story (in full costume!) which were shown via scanning QR codes at each house on the trail, alongside Nativity themed window displays. The end of the trail was the stable (with manger and baby!) at St Stephen’s where photos could be taken, and a creative prayer said inside the Church. Whilst we missed being able to extend our usual hospitality to people, due to Covid restrictions, it was an amazing evangelistic opportunity to share the good news of Jesus’ arrival, and we look forward to building on this in future Christmases. 

## Interactive zoom Nativity 

Instead of the usual Christmas Nativity hosted at St John’s we adapted for Covid-19 Christmas 2020 and came up with a first! Nick and Susie Romney, with creative help from Carolyn and others, put on a spectacular Interactive zoom Nativity. Invitations were given out, activity packs were distributed, costumes were made, and the Christmas story and message was shared with many households, many of whom do not regularly attend church. It was a great event, we had the shepherds, stars, Marys, the lot! No octopus’s though. We had songs and a cuppa tea and chat at the end. 

Thanks so much to the Romneys for not only coming up with a great idea but making it happen. It cheered people up to see each other and to feel Christmassy when so much had been cancelled. 

## Carols around the bonfire 

This was a last minute bit of worshipful fun. (waiting for permission and making sure it was safe). Singing around braziers in the car park was something I never expected to be doing. I found my love for carolling this year! Thanks to the Mayhews and Smiths for their help and to St Lawrence’s for the gear and thanks to all those who hung around singing and chatting as long as was safe and reasonable. One of my highlights of the year. 



## CHILDREN & YOUTH 

## St John’s Church, Westwood 

During the year we said goodbye to Katherine our Children and Youth Worker where she spent the last few months on furlough, however we are grateful for the time she spent on our staff team. 

This time of church at home has birthed lots of creativity and digging deep as a church family. We have discovered the beauty of God’s creation and how to embrace the season by sharing ideas and inspiration and seeking God in the small things. We have enjoyed worshiping and learning as a whole family this season: the sermon series on Matthew, We Need Jesus, with children’s videos and activity sheets, and Jesus The Way, the Truth and the Light with input for children from Anna Martin. 

Some families have been meeting as Forest church MC every week, open air when possible and supporting each other on zoom. 

We give thanks to God for all that Alison Fry has shared in terms of resources for families on the church Facebook pages for creative worship and learning. We also thank God for the fun Interactive Nativity on zoom before Christmas put together by Nick and Susie Romney and Carolyn Howarth. We were joined by friends and friends of friends to celebrate and share the good news of Jesus at Christmas. 

Some families have also enjoyed the Parenting for Faith course, discussing issues together. 

We have all enjoyed seeing new members of our church family on zoom coffee time: 3 new babies born during lockdown. It has been great for us all to be thinking of how to include children and different ways of worshiping and learning as we prepare services, talks and prayers, and to hear from what has gone well for families and been accessible. 

We have had different people involved in creative services particularly Forest MC, which we would like to do more of. 

## St Stephen’s Church, Canley 

In the Spring term we enjoyed meeting once a month for our kids groups whilst the adults met in the Family Centre. Thank you to Anna Hickinbottom and team for all they have done to help children make their own connection with God. During the pandemic we met online for “Kids Zoom Zone” before the service for games, catching up and to introduce the themes of the services. 

During the summer we were blessed to have one in person “Kids Catch Up” after school one day, where we focused on “fanning your friendship with God.” Children have also been included as we met online in Missional Communities and in smaller groups in gardens and we continue to pray the wider community of faith will enable discipleship to children. 



## MISSIONAL COMMUNITIES 

## St John’s Church, Westwood 

“An army marches on its stomach” Frederick the Great. 

“A church is only as strong as its communities” DH 

It’s been a different year for many communities. Some finding ways to keep each other sane and healthy, others with the capacity to be creative. We are indebted to the enduring quality of service and leadership offered across the church by MC co-ordinators. 

We’ve praised Forest Church in many places, but the growth of faith in our primary aged kids ahs been exciting and hearing them in the field occasionally from my garden has been a grearce of smiles on tricky days. The canon Park MC has transitioned leadership but carried on from strength to strength, cook-alongs, quizzes, online parties and (obviously!) regular worship and prayer have not just held the community together but provided a space for others to explore. 

Many times both privately and publicly I’ve (David) thanked God for our MC’s and their leaders. This is the church. 

## St Stephen’s Church, Canley 

At the start of 2020 Sarah began sharing more detailed vision about St Stephen’s and missional 

communities. Having preached into it during January and February, asking people to join one of the two new communities being due to launch at Easter, we had not anticipated that a global pandemic was about to arrive! God was faithful in his call though and we continued with the plan of launching a dedicated Sunday for meeting as missional communities from May onwards. Although this has been challenging due to Covid restrictions, lots of the church has been able to connect into either a wider missional community or a smaller group. By the end of 2020 St Stephen’s had two missional communities; “Mission to Kids & Families” and “Justice & Freedom” - both with smaller groups within them which met weekly. We continued to focus on 2s & 3s (accountable relationships) as a key place of deep discipleship, despite the challenges of meeting together. 



## STUDENTS 

During the year we said goodbye to Jen as she got married and moved down South, we are so grateful for her time with us with both Young Adults and pouring time and energy into St John’s website. 

It’s been a strange and difficult year for all students around the world. Here at St John’s it started well with Student Bonfire evening organised by Ruach and Fran at the beginning of the academic year where we welcomed a dozen freshers. As we moved to online church and no student worker in place we found that the students involved at church were the handful of 3rd year. These faithful few have met on zoom regularly throughout the year, praying for their peers and for the student work here at the Bridge. They are currently involved in the online Alpha course, sharing their faith and love for God with those who are seeking him. 

We give thanks to God for them and their encouragement to us and we thank God too for the new student worker we believe he will provide for next academic year. 

## GROUPS 

Although many groups took place during 2020 in different formats, we’ve noted down some of the changes of a couple of these groups. 

St Stephen’s Toddler Group enjoyed running until March when it needed to stop due to Covid restrictions. 

Refresh took place during the beginning of the year and have occasionally been online. We are grateful that the team are arriving into this year with fresh energy and excitement about one day soon gathering again in person. 



## GARDEN OF HOPE 

## _Caroline Hammond_ 

The dream of the missional Garden of Hope project will hopefully soon become a reality. We have applied for planning permission to convert St John’s field into a garden for the local community. It will be a space for community, connection and contemplation. Coventry Planning Committee will hopefully be meeting to decide whether to approve a change of use for the field on 27th May. Please pray that they say yes! If you haven’t already done so you can help this project by leaving a positive comment on the planning application here: 

http://planning.coventry.gov.uk/portal/servlets/PlanningComments?REFNO=FUL/202 

## 1/0369 

I have applied for financial assistance from diocesan funds to ask for support for this project. Conversations are ongoing although we will hopefully have some clarity in the near future. Ways you can get involved: Comment on planning application online. 

Gardening: At the moment this is mainly pruning and removing brambles but if we receive planning approval we can start landscaping too! Money: Financial donations are key, please consider giving a one off donation here: https://www.stewardship.org.uk/pages/gardenofhope 

Or speak to me about becoming a partner by giving a direct debit each month. 

Fundraising…if you have any experience and time to write funding applications please speak to me. 

Prayer: 

- Planning permission 

- Money 

- Team 

- Prayer for people to become Christians through this project. 



## STAFF 

There’s been a number of changes to the staff team in 2020, and we begun with employing Jenni Dunne at St Stephen’s from the end of February – a really interesting time to start! 

St John’s made use of the Government furlough scheme with Stevey, Katherine & Caroline being on furlough from April through August. We are so grateful for each of these individuals as they finished their time on the staff team. 

Caroline finished her employment with us and remains part of St John’s Westwood and The Garden of Hope is part of her placement for ordination training with St Mellitus. 

Ann Peachey joined us in October to step into the role as Church Leader at St John’s and it has been a joy getting to know her and work with her. 

Ruach finished his placement with us and has since become employed by Church Army, working at a Centre of Mission in Wales. 

Sarah finished her ordination training at St Mellitus in June and began as Curate at The Bridge in July. She was ordained as a deacon in late September (slightly later than expected!) with 5 guests present in the Cathedral. After contracting Lymes Disease in October she was off sick during October, November and December (her first Christmas not working in Church for over 15 years!) - thank you to staff and lay leaders who stepped up to serve St Stephen’s during that time. 

As the year finished we had recruited Sarah Packwood who started with us in the turn of the new year as Operations Minister. 

## SAFEGUARDING OVERVIEW 

At St Stephen’s we have had no PSO in place during 2020 and clergy have acted in this role. At St John’s we give thanks to Jane Tranter for being Westwood’s PSO. Some key points to note: 

- Safeguarding arrangements for the Bridge jointly are being worked on and a Safeguarding Officer for the Benefice is being appointed.  This is a standing item at Joint Council meetings. 

- Training and DBS checks are largely up to date but please act quickly if you are asked to do either of these. 

- The Joint Council confirms that it has complied with its legal duty to have due regard for the House of Bishop’s guidance on safeguarding. 

## ELECTORAL ROLL REPORT 

The electoral roll for St John’s has 117 members of which 9 have joined for the new roll. 

The electoral roll for St Stephen’s has 39 members. 



## LEADERSHIP 

## Joint Council 

The Joint Council is the legal entity which is responsible for the activities and finances of the Bridge Benefice.  It is made up of the vicar, other clergy and lay leaders, and lay representatives from each base. It is a registered charity and the members are its trustees.  The main purpose of the Council is ‘to cooperate with the incumbent to promote the whole mission of the Church’ in Canley and Westwood parishes. 

The current members are David Hammond, Sarah Ashelby, Ann Peachey, John Finlayson, Tom Hickinbottom, Ed Robinson, Jonathan Martin, Arun Mathani, Matt Jermyn, Jan Sayer, Jeff Smails, Laura Dawson and Andrew Smith. Sarah Packwood also attends the Council’s meetings, which have been held monthly since the APCMs in 2020. 

There are places for nine elected lay representatives, which must include at least one churchwarden from each parish.  Three of those nine spaces must be elected to each year.  The current term of Tom Hickinbottom, Ed Robinson and Jonathan Martin will end after the APCMs in 2021. 

## Deanery 

Deanery Synod meetings migrated mid-year to Zoom, this year we had three Synod meetings in 2020 which included talks on “General Synod and Synodical Structures”, “Collective Trauma”, and “an introduction from the (then) new Archdeacon Missioner”. Also this year the previous Area-Dean stood down, and Rev Matt Taylor (of St Martin’s, Finham) has been appointed as the new Area-Dean. 

The Deanery also has sub-committees for discussing and agreeing parish share, and others for discussing parishes in vacancy and longer term strategy – including preparing a draft deanery plan that will be presented at synod soon. Rev David Hammond is part of the Deanery Planning Group. 

## Diocese & Resource Hub Plans 

The diocese is creating and resourcing 6 mission hub churches who will receive regular curacies and a full time associate minister for five years. The onus will be on these churches to lead out in mission and/or resource other parishes. At the time of writing it has not been officially confirmed that we will be one of these churches but it looking highly likely. 

For us this is ostensibly marking what is already going on, but it dovetails nicely with our vision and shows that as we continually give away people to the rest of the Kingdom, God will provide for us also. 



## FINANCIAL OVERVIEW 

## St John’s Church, Westwood 

The church had a  surplus of just under £10,000 in 2020.  This was a result of:- 

- Costs were controlled during the lockdowns and use was made of the furlough scheme, the total spend was reduced by £32,400. 

   - Staff costs were £22,900 lower, helped by £12,000 furlough payments. 

   - Other costs were £9,500 lower 

- Income also declined, overall giving was down by £18,700 and car park income and room hire was by £4,800 

- Unrestricted reserves were £38,750 at the end of 2020, representing 20% of income, above the guidelines set by the PCC of 10% to 15%. 

- There are other funds 

   - The building fund stands at over £40,000 but the flat roof needs replacing and Featherbed Lane needs to be resurfaced both in 2021.  These actions will use most of these funds dependent on the availability of grants. 

   - There are a number of restricted funds totalling just over £10,500 

   - St John’s no longer holds any funds on behalf of St Aidan’s. 

Overall, St John’s has come through the pandemic in a stronger financial position, ready to grow God’s kingdom.  Thank you all for your ongoing financial support. 

## St Stephen’s Church, Canley 

The financial position for St Stephen’s in 2020 was broadly similar to the previous year, with a few notable variations due to the switch to digital services and preparation for the move to merge into The Bridge. 

Income from donations was unchanged apart from a small shift away from regular gifted aided giving and open plate collections towards non-gifted aided regular giving. Some income was restricted for the Coordinated Care Fund – much of which was transferred from St John’s. That money was used to provide pastoral care in the form of food parcels and the remainder was transferred back to St John’s, so that the fund finished the year back on zero for St Stephen’s. 

Overall, income fell (by c. £3k) due largely to the almost total drop in church lettings for external groups. A secondary factor was that 2019 income had been given a one-off boost by the sale of the old chairs (for £800). 



Meanwhile, expenditure increased slightly (less than £400 change). The biggest changes resulted from the shift in staffing arrangements, wherein staff were transferred to St John’s (in anticipation of the merge into The Bridge) and staff time bought back (for administration and cleaning). 

Taken together, St Stephen’s made a smaller surplus in 2020 than in 2019 (around half the size), but still a surplus of around £3,000. Hence, our end of year balance of funds increased to around £43k (of which c. £2.5k was restricted and c. £27k was on deposit in our notice account). 

## FABRIC REPORT 

## St John’s Church, Westwood 

St John’s had a quinquennial inspection in February 2020 which made a number of recommendations mainly around the roof, the path from the car park and a few safety issues regarding signs. 

The main roof had a full structural survey in November 2020 and it has been agreed at the Joint Council to devise a plan for replacing the roof by 2026.  The aim is to start the preparatory work on this in 2023. Quotes have been received to clean the gutters along with some minor repairs to the roof such as slipping tiles, pointing etc.  The flat roof continued to leak in 2020 and there is a process in place with the diocese to agree what materials can be used to replace it and then quotes will be obtained and the work completed hopefully before winter 2021. 

The foul drains under the path were inspected and are sound.  A quote is in progress to excavate the path, repack and tarmac. 

Other work is ongoing and thanks go to Dave Cass and Phil Dunkerley who put in a significant amount of time and effort to keep the buildings & grounds in good repair. 

## St Stephen’s Church, Canley 

This year there were limited items requiring action due to significantly reduced use of the building during the pandemic. The main piece of work was the replacement of the external protective grill surrounding the stained glass windows. This concludes the required items raised in the last quinquennial inspection. 

It is recognised that there are other areas of repair such as the flooring and entrance doors that will need remedial repair or replacement in the near future and we are undertaking explorative work to inform the cost of the works required. 

The next quinquennial inspection is overdue and will be undertaken in 2021.

balanced budget wtth a small surplus of £1,270. During 2020. however. th8 COVID vlrus oulbr6ak
developed into a world pandemic s￿n￿￿antlY imp*ing on the day-to4ay operatlon of th8 Church.
There were.. -
Two lo¢kdowns In 2020 and another at the stsrt of 2021. These impacted on the actlvty of the
church with a subsequent kno¢k-on effect on both the Income and expendrture of the church.
In comparison lo the forecast budget income the following changes cccurred" .
Planned giving was down £12,007. which had a kncKk￿n effect on grft of £2,515.
Cash giving al seThices dropped by £4,162.
Car park & room hire income were down £3,406 & £1.395, respectivdy.
Overall, th8 income was down by £23.813 and £17.500 below 2019.

The cost of paying staff was du4•m by £22,895 - furfough gran18 contributed £12,305
towards this reduction.
Other staff costs were reduced by £2,389.
Group8 and meeb'ngs expendilure was al￿ dcrwn by £4,193- Meetings Just dld not
happen.

o However. the Sup￿ to our partner organisalions was up by £1,941
Overall expenditure was down by £32.510 versus budget and £32,41i4 compared to 2019.
Overall, Ihls resulted in a surplus of £9.967 in 2020.
Thus. the finances of St John's are In a stronger position at the end of 2020 wlth unrestricted
funds of £38.749, representlng 20.7% of tumover, whrch is above the target range of 10% to
1 S%. This exdudes movements in the rostricted funds.
To grow the Gontinuing work of church. as we hope to do, we need to encourage some further
increases In regular giving. There has also been a drop in the proportion of the regular giving, which Is
Gfft Aided, and now over 20% of our current regular income 1$ not Grft Aided. It is our intention to ty
and extend the opportunity for th8 Govemment to a￿st us in the futu￿,
The out¢ome of the 2020 Quinquennkql Inspectlon will require major investment In the fabric of the church
building. initially a new fiat rc¥)f (estimated c£40.000) foll¢y4ved by ¢2025 a rkew roof for the maln church
building plus assoGiated add-ons is yet to be ￿ted tmjt likety to be over £300.000. We have funds set
aside already to pay some ofthe ¢05t, and are inVest￿atIng possibl11t￿ for receivlng Grant Aid. for when
we undertake the necessary work.
God's generosty and blessings are again re¢ognised by the PCC as He contlnues to grow His work. and
we continue to seek His will to further develop and grow His kingdom through His church at Westwood.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charltsble ¥tivltle8
During 2020 the chuffh explwed the creation of The BrKlge Benefice. under new legal rKotssses It￿1 came
into effect during 2020. On the 14 October 2020. The Bridge Bener￿e. was c*ealed by putting into abeyance
the PCCS of St John's Westwocrfj and Sl Stephen's Canley. Then, on the 1* November a new Joint Councll
of TnJ$lees lo run the Bridge Benefw was approved by the Bishops Council and fomied. The accounts of
the tsvo Parishes will merge effectNe 1 It January 2021. The indivKlual Parish attounts for th& year end 2020
will be calculal¢d and audited separately. The Charity Commissh)n has sanctione(I that the existing charity
registration of Sl John's can be re-named the'The BrKlge Benef￿8 Coventy, whilst keeping the extsling charity
number.
In 2012 8 new communlty wa8 set up In Wood End, Coventy, knthvn a8 Saint Aldan's Communlty.
Following a wriod of discernmenl and Consultal￿n. it has been agreed that the fijlure administrat￿ and
oversight of MISS￿ and mintslry in this area of the ¢ty should now cknme under the leadership and
governance of St Laurence's Church. Foleshill. In the meantime. Westwood Church continue to provlde
banking and flnanclal service8. wlth the Saint ￿dan.5 balances appearing as a restricted fund. Th18
relatlonship ended In 2020 wrth the final transfer of £29,113 from St John's to St LaurenGe's.
The inlti81 Incom• and expendtture 88tlmates and budgets for Weslwood church In 2020 showed
balanced budget wtth a small surplus of £1,270. During 2020. however. th8 COVID vlrus oulbr6ak
developed into a world pandemic s￿n￿￿antlY imp*ing on the day-to4ay operatlon of th8 Church.
There were.. -
Two lo¢kdowns In 2020 and another at the stsrt of 2021. These impacted on the actlvty of the
church with a subsequent kno¢k-on effect on both the Income and expendrture of the church.
In comparison lo the forecast budget income the following changes cccurred" .
Planned giving was down £12,007. which had a kncKk￿n effect on grft of £2,515.
Cash giving al seThices dropped by £4,162.
Car park & room hire income were down £3,406 & £1.395, respectivdy.
Overall, th8 income was down by £23.813 and £17.500 below 2019.
In comparlson to the forecast budget expendlture Ihè followlng changes occurred.. -
The cost of paying staff was du4•m by £22,895 - furfough gran18 contributed £12,305
towards this reduction.
Other staff costs were reduced by £2,389.
Group8 and meeb'ngs expendilure was al￿ dcrwn by £4,193- Meetings Just dld not
happen.
Spend on buildlngs, equlpment etc dropF*d by £4.974.
o However. the Sup￿ to our partner organisalions was up by £1,941
Overall expenditure was down by £32.510 versus budget and £32,41i4 compared to 2019.
Overall, Ihls resulted in a surplus of £9.967 in 2020.
Thus. the finances of St John's are In a stronger position at the end of 2020 wlth unrestricted
funds of £38.749, representlng 20.7% of tumover, whrch is above the target range of 10% to
1 S%. This exdudes movements in the rostricted funds.
To grow the Gontinuing work of church. as we hope to do, we need to encourage some further
increases In regular giving. There has also been a drop in the proportion of the regular giving, which Is
Gfft Aided, and now over 20% of our current regular income 1$ not Grft Aided. It is our intention to ty
and extend the opportunity for th8 Govemment to a￿st us in the futu￿,
The out¢ome of the 2020 Quinquennkql Inspectlon will require major investment In the fabric of the church
building. initially a new fiat rc¥)f (estimated c£40.000) foll¢y4ved by ¢2025 a rkew roof for the maln church
building plus assoGiated add-ons is yet to be ￿ted tmjt likety to be over £300.000. We have funds set
aside already to pay some ofthe ¢05t, and are inVest￿atIng possibl11t￿ for receivlng Grant Aid. for when
we undertake the necessary work.
God's generosty and blessings are again re¢ognised by the PCC as He contlnues to grow His work. and
we continue to seek His will to further develop and grow His kingdom through His church at Westwood.
