During these meetings. the Trustees discussed and prayed about a wide variety of matters induding vision. governan. lie$, buildings and infrastrurture as well a5 receiving regular reports on financial perfomiance and staffing. The Standing Commtttee meets rough two weeks before each PCC meeting to di5CUS5 the agenda.

Our buildings are insured and maintained regularly to ensure that they are safe and fit for purpose. Key improvements in 2025 have included: general maintenance due to wear and tear and age, particularly repairing the church roof and instslling handrails at the church'5 main entran. We have a dearth of volunteers, and this is having an impart on the operation of the church. For example. V only have one Church Warden and he is retiring at the 2026 APCM. Similarly the Treasurerwill be standing down at the same meetin&
PAROCHIALaiuRCH COUNCILOF JOHNTHE EVANGEUSt.W(X)DLEY 5. Volunteers Every church is very dependent on its volunteers and Stjohn's is no eXption. The church is very grateful for all the members of the congregation that give their time so generously. The general trend is that the existing volunteers tend to be older and they are often finding it rnore difficult to contribute as much as they previousty did. The absen of volunteers could be mitigated by paid roles. but this will pla fvrther pressure on Stjohn's finan5. 3.3.Objectives and Activities Worship and Prayer During 2025 the rhythm of Se15 has developed: First and third Sundays have a 8(k of Common Prayer communion service now held at 9am instead of 8am On the second and fourth Sunday5 a new family Servi called Bubble Church was initiated during 2025. This seivtce starts at 9am Regular 10am Sunday services are 5ti11 at Ioarn. but now the second and fourth are the only communion services. The Wednesday morning 10am comrnunion Servi has grown to nearly 20 regular attendee5. There is also a weekty Fellowship and Study Group held over Zoom on Wednesday evening5. There is a regular Bible study held on Wednesday (after the communion se1) and a prayer meeting held over Zoom on Tuesday evenings. The Urdu, Punjabi and Hindi IUPHI fellowship continued their ServIS every Sunday afternoon and have now become an official service of St. John's. Several members of that congregation also worship and assist in other services. For example. Rev Richard Christopher has continued his very much appreciated involvement in Sunday and Wednesday serrfices, assisting and leading as required. 2. Deanery Synod The Parish has two representatives vtho attend the meeting5 which are held in various churches in Reading Deanery. Although there are nonrtally six meetings each year in the 2025 there wa5 a seventh= a visitation by the Bishop Mary shortfy after her appointment 3. St John's Church Centre The Church Centre is a resour whtch is both used and appreciated by St John's congregations. It is also an important source of income for the Parish when It is let for a variety of community functions. The letting rates are kept under review. The Church Centre is. like the church. a Grade 2 listed buildinE. This complicates the maintenance and increases the costs of any required work. Pastoral Care The Sunday services are recorded and made available 0Tr4ine and communion is administered at home to

Each Friday lunchtime Lunch. Munch and Chinwag provides a meal and friendly environment. It is free but donations are welcome. Donations from these events has provided over £3.IXK) for the church funds. 5. Mission and Ewdngelism The intent is for the Parish to donate IO% of income from donations to charities. The charities supported comprise those with whom we share congregation collertion5 for certain Servi5. and also a list which w05 compiled by a sub*roup instituted for the purSe. All charitie5 are approved by the PCC. Those that were supported by sharing Servi collections are: Combat Stress Community Crisis Fund ICCFI JAC Royal British Le8ion Yeldall Manor The additlonal charftles that were chosen are: Care for Children Christlan's Against Poverty Ll rim Oi Foundatlon Berkshire Wildlife Trust Re-lnsplred Samarltans UK SAMSICMS Icomblned in 20101 Stroke Association Tear Fund Yeldall Manor Your People My People IYPMPI St John's also contributed two school govemors to the local Church of England school. There have been two new inttiatives aimed at encouraging families and children to come to St John's: Bubble Church.. thi5 is a short, child-frtendty service that has started to attract a number of new families into St John's. It is run twice a month at 9am before the 10am communion service. Home-Ed Hub: the church is providing its faciliS for home education families. St John's is the only parish in the Diocese to provide thi5 SQrt of evangelism. It has successfully applied for a Diocesan grant for this work {the 8rant was not received in 20251. 3.4.Financial Revlew The major differen5 in income and expendT1U in 2025 compared with 2024 are: l. An linterim) legacy payment of £2,C Wds reIved from the estate of Brian Woods. 2. Taking into account the legary the General Fund used was in £9.241 deficit {compared with a £14,234 defictt in 20241. Thi5 was. in parL due to Southlake Crescent being vacant for a couple of months. 3. The regular gNing has increased from last year by about i(r%.

A certain level of general reserve does, however. need to be held at each yearnd to counteract the impatt of fluctuations of income and expenditure across the year. It is PCC policy to try and maintain a balan on free reseNes (net current assets) which equates to at least two month< unrestricted payment5. This year this is equivalent to £22.607. The balan of the free reserrfes at the yearnd. consisting of unrestricted and designated funds. was £252.173. The PCC is of the opinion that there is no practical financial risk to the ministry of the parish. Where reserves are held for the longer terni. are plad on deposit. The CBF Church of England Dep051t Fund, which has an ethical investment policy. and gNes higher rates of return than the Chartties Aid Foundation Bank. 15 used for the reserves. 3.6.Related Party Transactions Members of the PCC receNed reimbursement of expenses incurred on behaof the Churth. No member received reimbursementstotaling more than £l.CU). There were no other disclosable transactions in respect of PCC members, closefy connerted wtth them or other related parties.

St John'5 is providing facilitie5 for young families to worshlp together twi a month on Sunday mornings at a service called Bubble Church.

St. John's provides facilities for women to attend Motherfs Union once a month. The vicarfs wife attends and speaks on occasion, and therefore benefits from this work as well. The vicals family VrshiP at the church, and the thiklren are members of the children's groups. Again, they benefit from thiswork. 3.7.Plans for the Future A primary emphasis for St John's church is the development and encourdgement of children and youth work. To this end we will continue to develop Bubble Churth and Home-Ed Hub. However. we also have secured a grant of £40.LK(J (payable over three years} to support a dedlcated fami worker. The plan is to recruit a family worker durln8 the coming year. For several years the church bells have been silent tecause of deterioration of the bells and particularly the supportln8 brick and stonework. In 2026 it Is planned that these bells will be restored and brou8ht back into operation. To that end there will be a campai8n to raise the £24,(m needed.
