**Structure, governance and management** The living was suspended in December 2017 and Reverend Pip Salmon was licensed as Priest in Charge of Christ Church Pitsmoor and Associate Priest of St Peters Ellesmere and St Cuthberts Fir Vale as from 23[rd] April 2018. The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the New Church Representation Rules (2020). All church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.
## **Objectives**
We are a multicultural church in a multicultural, multifaith community, committed to sharing the love of Christ in action. We have a large leadership team of licensed lay ministers, church officers, and gifted church members, all of whom contribute to the life of the church. We also have two curates. The PCC is fully supportive of the ordination of women to the priesthood and aims to promote, support and encourage women’s ministry in the church in every capacity. We are an Inclusive Church.
## **Church attendance**
In 2022 there were 89 parishioners on the Electoral Roll, of whom 80% were resident within the parish. The average weekly attendance counted during October was 56 adults in person plus 5 children on Sundays and 10 adults midweek and no Home Church
## **Administration**
There have been 5 PCC meetings held during 2022 at which the following subjects were discussed – appointments, finances, budgets, 5 Big Questions, arson attack, church cleaning, building repairs, safeguarding, Ecco Church, COGs, Church yard, and Inclusive Church

**2. Minutes of the Annual Parochial Church Meeting held on 26[th] May 2021** were approved. John Hayes proposed and Ruth Crowley seconded them. All agreed
**3. Matters Arising** None
## **4. Election of representatives to PCC**
There were 4 vacancies x 3 year membership and 3 casual vacancies for a 2 year period.
Robert Platts, Bernadette Rouine and Ruth Crowley had completed their 3 years as members but were happy to stand for re-election.
Ben Treadway was proposed for membership by Ali Salmon and seconded by Mike Dennett, Bob Newman was proposed by Chris Limb and seconded by Pat limb and Bernadette Rouine was proposed by Karen Rogers and seconded by John Hayes. These people were duly elected. Pip mentioned that other people could be co-opted to fill the vacant posts at a later date if it was necessary. Pip also explained that as from 2023 APCM only be 3
representatives from the laity would be elected on the PCC, rather than the current 4. This was due to the numbers on the electoral role having fallen below 100, which is what governs the numbers of elected members.
## **5. Electoral Roll Report**
It was reported that there were now 90 people on the roll. During the year 2 people had sadly died and 1 person had joined.
## **6. Treasurer’s Report**
The Return of Parish Finance had been circulated together with explanation notes and details of the month end balances and the budget. Pip talked through the reports and budget giving an explanation of the key points
## **7. Appointment of Independent examiner**
Barbara Lomas was proposed and unanimously agreed. She will be paid a £200 fee.
## **8. Other reports**
Reports were received for wardens (fabric of the church), after 8, lunch club, Craft and Chat, Toddlers, COGS, Deanery
## **9. Vicars report**
A written report from Pip had been circulated **.** He highlighted the forthcoming financial challenge due to an aging building starting to cause trouble and therefore needing costly repairs. He also stressed the need to find a new safeguarding officer. Sue Mate had continued with this position throughout the year even though she had wished to resign in 2020. She has been doing this role alongside that of warden and thanks were extended to her for a sterling job. Pip explained that a couple of people could jointly take on the role between them. Pip then talked about the new diocesan strategy and how it would effect CCP. He explained it would mean 5 churches - CCP, St Margaret and St Thomas Wincobank and Brightside, St Peters and St Cuthbert’s, grouped together and having 2 oversite ministers plus Phil at W&B. Some questions needed to be considered – 1) what should priorities be over 2/3years be? 2) what should be restarted 1[st] and why? 3) how do we equip you to make the new model work across our mission area? DL’s response was that children and youth needed to be at the front for contact, KT was worried about 5 churches together when currently 3 are finding it hard. Another issue raised was ‘ how to get to know each other?’ Pip acknowledge that it would be a challenge. However some churches are already some way down the new road and we will need to be watching and learning from their road of travel and discovering what will work for us.
## **10. A.O.B** None
The meeting closed with the Diocesan prayer Date of next PCC meeting 6[th] June at 7.30
## **Wardens report for Christ Church Pitsmoor 2022**
## **Boilers in the church**
At the moment, the boilers are running very well. Tony Credland has done quite a big repair to the boiler that runs the welcome centre. It is working very well. Tony also fitted a new valve from the pressure unit to the main boilers in the boiler house in the church. Since he has done this the water pressure has been spot on, and the boilers are working well.
## **Main door for the Welcome Centre**
The doors for the welcome centre as we know are not in the best of condition. The door frame needs either replacing altogether, or a new piece of wood needs fitting to take the weight of the door that has dropped down.
## **Lift maintenance**
Stannah Lifts have carried out quite a lot of work to get our lift up and running again. It is now working and legal again. We still need to discuss with them a proper list of things that still need replacing and improving. Our lift is very old and outdated. In a perfect world a complete new lift would be the best outcome.
## **Mice infestation**
Due to the age of our building, there are many entrances that a mouse can find its way into. Nick Edmondson has liaised with our pest controller who has given Nick lots of information on how to approach the problem. Bricks and cracks have been pointed, and new door thresholds have been fitted to both doors at the front of the church along with some special rubber and metal rodent protection. Nick has put a huge amount of time and effort into this. The old coal shoot that goes into the cellar has also been rebuilt and mouse proofed along with several other air bricks and inlets.
## **Lights in church**
When the initial clean was carried out after the arson attack, we hoped that some of the lights in the church could be replaced. Sadly, this didn’t happen. We really need to replace lots of lights in the church. I think we should wait until the proper repairs to the church are carried out and see if we can get them done when the scaffold towers are up.
## **Church roof**
There are several slates that have slipped and need repairing. As with the lights, I would suggest that we wait for the roofers to start work on the main damage and see if they can carry out the repairs to the slates at the same time.
## **Arson attack**
I think we all know about this event so I’m not going to say too much about it. Basically, we have had temporary repairs and cleaning carried out, and we are now waiting for the proper repairs to start. I hope the proper repairs are to a higher standard than the clean-up was.
If anyone has any specific questions regarding the way forward with this topic, either speak directly to pip or myself.
## **Security fence**
When works have been carried out and the security fence has been removed, it is imperative that we have one of our own built. This area needs to be made secure.
I’d like to give special thanks to Nick Edmondson for all the help he has given me with the fabric and the mouse situation over the last year. I’d like to thank everyone else who has helped me at Christ Church over the years, Especially Maureen whose experience and help has been a blessing. God bless, Mike Dennett
## **COG’S Annual Report for 2022/23**
A big hello to everyone from the Cog’s team and all the children from Cog’s
We have had an eventful year after covid and then the fire as I look back, I was amazed how well they all adapted to the change and took it in their stride.
Over the past year we have welcomed a few new members who come on a regular basis and on speaking to the parents they have felt very much loved and feel at home. The children really love the variety topics we cover and the activities that go with it.
We as a team try to meet 4 times a year to plan the rota and what themes we will be covering.
In July 2022 after completing my aurora course I received my certificate for children’s work, I want to thank everyone for the support I received whilst on the course and after.
Since last year we have looked at the different symbols you find around the church for e.g., water = baptism, Dove = peace, bread, and wine = communion which got the children involved and helping at the communion service where 2 of our older end of Cog’s took confirmation in Nov. We have also looked at the Story of Creation and Jesus parables. The promise land and different journeys that we all take. In our session on Praise and worship and different ways you can praise and worship this involved the children making musical instruments and praise ribbons and then learnt a new song which we used in the AAW service and got everyone in the congregation involved with the actions and using the instruments they had made the children really enjoyed doing this over the next few weeks we will be looking at new things new beginnings new life even a new song this time with sign language so watch this space. We are always looking at new ways we can help and nurture the children in Cog’s and hope to encourage them by being involved in the AAW services.
The children also enjoyed making this big dove which we hung in the church ground which was part of a community competition we all had fun making it and by surprise we won the trophy is at the back of church
Now we do have a few members who will be ready for leaving Cog’s and we will be sorry to see them leave cog’s so we as a team would like to make them into young helpers and help with the younger ones or may help with an activity and hopefully in the near future we can start a group that is aimed at their age group and something that follows on from Cog’s. So, we don’t lose them altogether
We are looking forward to welcoming Will and his family to our church later on this year. And that his little girl will join our Cog’s Family
I think that this past year has been Awesome and truly Amazing.
The children have been Amazing.
The Team have been Amazing and with out them and the children it would not have been possible so thank you everyone. Looking forward to the year ahead
The cog’s team Joanne, Ali, Lindsay, and Lauren
## **Deanery Synod Report for 2022**
Topics covered in the last year include Living in love and faith. Joanne and I did the course as did others from our Deanery Discussions on the Diocesan Strategy and a Diocesan Guide has been produced in regard to the new strategy, of Focal Ministry. Our Diocesan option is the one based on the model of Oversight and Focal Ministry and Sheffield Diocese have received £5m from the Church Commissioners specifically to fund fixed-term appointments to support and enable the transition. The Director of Focal Ministry has specific responsibility for the discernment, care and support of Focal Ministers. Focal Ministry can be seen as the public face of the church for its congregation and its community, but it is not ‘one size fits all’. The role in each parish must reflect the needs of the parish and the talents of the individuals involved. There will ideally be Focal Ministry Teams, working collectively with Oversight Ministers and other church leaders, and perhaps individually taking responsibility for specific aspects of ministry. A key role of Oversight and Focal Ministers alike is to develop the vocations and ministries of others.
Focal team Ministers are in place at Brightside and Winkobank and also St Cuthbert’s.
In March 22 elections took place to Deanery Pastoral and Mission Committee these were;
## Clergy Andy Poultney, Keith Ryder-West
Laity Sue Harland and Sarah Hulme
We have met twice with the Hallam Deanery and at our last joint meeting was open to anyone to attend, and Jane Skinner came with us. Bishop Sophie attended and in mixed Deanery Groups we discussed what we were doing in our Churches that were Missional, and shared ideas and possible ways of supporting each other and resourcing new things that are realistic and doable
Both Joanne and I feel that due to Covid restrictions and the many changes and challenges facing our Churches during the current climate we have felt a bit out of our depth at times, but we are leaning and have been able to engage on your behalf with our Deanery Synod and we have valued your prayers in this. Yvonne and Joanne
## **LUNCH CLUB report for CCP APCM 2023**
## **WHY do it?**
The main activity of the Lunch Club is to get more people out (or at all), and to meet new people. There’s opportunity to help, especially in welcoming, and practical tasks, and develop confidence to take on roles. Whatever difficulties and disabilities we live with, everyone’s contribution is valued, and we remember that ‘We are all a bit wonky, one way or another!’ There are no passengers. We hold a volunteer meeting once or twice a year.
Kevin keeps the accounts, and says, ‘Lunch Club is a bit like Jesus feeding 5000 with 5 loaves and 2 small fishes, and of all the 5 jobs in my working life, the work I do (for nothing) at the Lunch Club is the most rewarding’. Thanks are due to all volunteers, whose commitment and good will has kept Lunch Club going! There’s demand for bingo and singing at times (from “Amazing Grace” to “You Sexy Thing”). Special events for Platinum Jubilee, and the Christmas Party brought record numbers (41 and 55) including four generations of several families.
## **Impact on members**
“My Dad has ABSOLUTELY loved this Lunch Club, Thank you”.. texted the daughter of someone who joined us for the first time recently. Mutual support has helped members cope with loss in caring relationships when living with dementia, and mental and sensory frailty. Broken sleep, then separation, one’s partner going into a care home, and later dying, is bewildering. The predictable pattern of meeting weekly, among supportive friends, gives solace. Curate and pastoral support leader, Sara said, ‘The Lunch Club gives a 'safe space' where people can get out to socialize who would otherwise remain at home. Transport is extremely important to this. Getting out after bereavement needs so much bravery and knowing you are in a space where you don't necessarily have to be. Ok but equally, you can be Ok (having fun etc.) for a bit, must be so important”.
## **Challenges**
Sometimes we could not run Lunch Club: The arson attack on the Church, a family of mice came to stay, our lift broke down and February’s heavy snowfall were a few challenges in recent months. Covid quite understandably disrupted Lunch Club from March 2020. However, collaboration between Sheffield Council, Sheffield Community Contact Tracers and among many local Community Groups, we were helped to gain confidence to restart in Sept 2021, adopt sensible precautions by consensus, protect those more cautious, and get proper NHS tests when needed.
## **Cost of Living**
Members contribution to transport costs which went up to £2.50 in Sept 2022.
The £3.00 charge per meal remains the same thanks to tirelessly careful shopping by members of the kitchen team. We economised with energy costs by using the smaller Welcome Centre hall, and the Church Council have generously, not yet passed on any request for increased rent. Sheffield Council support us well with their grant as always.
## **WE NEED a MINIBUS DRIVER for LUNCH CLUB**
There is urgent need for a minibus driver. So if you know anyone that is free most Thursdays between 10.30am and 3pm, aged between 25 and 75, and with ‘D1’ category on a clean Driving Licence, please contact Nick Edmondson on 07725569380.
## **Pye Bank School report for 2023 APCM**
The school has made a great recovery from all the stop start of the previous two years. Governor meetings and Assemblies are in person again and we have begun to have classes visiting Church again.
We need to think about how we can re-establish the links between the school and the church in a sensitive and constructive way. If you feel you might be interested in helping the school with governance or in other ways have a word with Pip. In June Ofsted came and rated the school as ‘Good’. This is testament to the hard work put in by Mo, Rhea and all the team.
## **Toddler Group report for 2023 APCM**
The Toddler group met during the first half of the year with a number of regular folks coming and with everyone mucking in with refreshments and tidying.
Post fire we have not had the capacity to restart which is a shame.
If we can find enough volunteers, we hope we might get it going again in the Autumn of 23. It really is a vital tool for reaching out to younger members of our community.
## **Vicar’s report for 2023 APCM**
The start of the year saw a continued recovery from the travails of the Covid years with more activities and greater participation. This all came to a shuddering halt when in July we suffered an Arson attack on Church. Significant damage was done and all activity at the church was stopped between July and September. We moved to Abbeyfield house for Sundays and Pitsmoor Methodist for Thursdays. It is worth recording once again that had it not been for the brilliant work of South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue, we would be looking at a much worse situation.
After a clean up and temporary repairs we were able to return for Harvest at the beginning of October. We hosted a joint Deanery Confirmation with +Pete in November which felt like a really good occasion. The process of permanent repair, decoration, replacement chairs etc is slow and time consuming and the disruption will be felt for a good year or more after the event.
The work on our Big Questions has resulted in two significant developments starting a second morning service to offer additional variety.
being recognised as an Inclusive Church - a church which celebrates and affirms every person and does not discriminate.
By Christmas it felt like we were making progress again and we look forward to that continuing in 2023.
Craft and Chat have continued to meet and since September
have been joined by 5 new members, and thankfully for
Micheal one of them is a man, so our core membership is
now10.
We have helped make gifts for the All age, family Lunch Club
Queens Platinum Jubilee Celebration, which over 60 people
atteneded, and we have also make things for special events
for lunch club. Three of us from the group did the Christmas
Puddings which raised money for a new Microwave for
Church and our local Food bank. Many in the group are
learning new skills and one member is now very good with
the wood etching burning tool we bought.
A new thing for us is having having some lunch together on
Fridays and members much appreciate this.
New people are always welcome to join us on Fridays 1.00 to
3.30 in the Welcome Centre.
Best wishes Yvonne, Jane and Joanne
Greetings from After 8.
After 8 have continued to meet regularly during the last year.
Unfortunately, having just getting back after Covid, and into a
our regular weekly patten of the things we do which include,
having guest speakers, worship, prayer, and social time, the
Church fire meant we had to adapt to doing things differently
for a while. During this period we met in Yvonnes and also
did a monthly prayer vigil and activity at the church, which
resulted in us putting bunting, flowers and planting seeds in
pots to help have a visual expression, of God's love and
concern for the worshipping community, and the Community
Christ Church seeks to serve. In out time out of Church we
also met at Kates for lovely cakes, wine and social times.
In September we took time on our annual Retreat to reflect
on Scriptures that were important to us and we used visual
aids like our own Teddy bears to aid our thinking. We 20
years old this year and plan to have some celebrations.. .so
watch this space.
We have currently have 11 core and 8 fringe members and in
we have recently welcomed another 3 new members who
began attending Craft and Chat last September.
Sadly one of the things that has affected people being able
to join us regularly, has been and is the change in and a
reduction of public transport. With this in mind we decided
that through the winter months we would meet monthly. We
continue to support each other pastorally as well as
Spiritualy and thanks to all After 8 members who continue to
journey with us.
Yvonne and Jane
