Chairman’s Report for the year ended 2021

March 2022

Dear Friends,

‘Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today and forever’.

Hebrews 13.8

Dear Friends,

The writer of the letter to the Hebrews captures for us the very nature of the God we worship: he does not change. Like 2020, 2021 was a year of unprecedented change, due largely to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. In the early parts of 2021, the pandemic still had much the same feel as those first days in the March of the previous year. The numbers of people catching the virus and sadly dying as a result remained high and so the risk of social interaction was one that many people were unwilling to take.

The Church continued to be shaped by this international crisis, and whilst many parishes closed their doors in the first quarter of the year, I am proud that once again we decided to remain open, albeit on a reduced basis. I know that this was a lifeline to many in our own community as well as outside; several visitors from other parishes found a temporary home with us precisely because we were open. Worship continued, the Mass continued to be celebrated and our sacrifice of thanks and praise was offered. As I recorded in much of my correspondence, I lamented the fact that the way in which we offered the Mass was notably different, aside from the fact that we were unable to sing, we were unable to socialise with each other afterwards. I know that this privation affected the spirituality of many regular worshippers – and yet we were, in my mind at least, still able to convey the truth particularly in Holy Week that Jesus Christ, who offered his life for us sinners, is the same, yesterday, today and forever.

3

In a changeable, transient and suffering world, the eternal unchangeable love of God remained a constant and that is what, by remaining open, we tried to convey. This message was received by people who have since entered into the life of our church; the truth, Jesus reminds us, sets us free, and I know that that has been the experience shared by people in all places, not least here at St Columba’s.

As the year progressed, we were able to move forward as a parish and celebrate our Patronal Festival, before a full lifting of restrictions and the resumption of singing in worship in July which brought joy to many after two years of silence.

The summer months were spent largely dealing with a substantial roof repair which the churchwardens’ detail in their report, and of course with trying to readjust to the freedoms restored. In July we were able to reopen Columba’s Café and restart much of our ‘normal’ parish activity, whilst at the same time, employing caution to safeguard all, particularly those who were vulnerable.

The Autumn brought with a sense of urgency to fully engage once again with our primary calling as the Church to ‘go’, to go into our community and share the Good News. Jeff Brandwood, Adrian Manson and I attended a Leading your Church into growth conference to explore ways in which we can engage more concretely and share the faith that we hold dear, that Jesus Christ is indeed the same, yesterday, today and forever. The few days away were challenging but provided a road map for us to follow, which connected deeply with my own vision for the parish that we truly become Missionary Disciples who point people to Jesus, first by forming relationships, secondly by serving the people in our midst, concluding with a sharing of the gospel in word and deed. In light of this, activity was planned that centred around deliberate evangelisation. With renewed sense of impetus, we held our first Messy Church which attracted a good number of people with little or no Church association, some of whom have become settled into this worshipping community. Please pray that they may come to a deeper understanding of the faith and make that next step in their Christian discipleship.

In addition to Messy Church, there was a desire to set the bar high for Christmas, particularly in terms of evangelism. At each service there was in the invitation to respond to open offer that Christ’s birth brings, to know his love, revealed in the flesh. We have, thank God, had people responded to Christ’s invitation, but sadly we were hampered once again due to a significant increase in covid cases and the emergence of new variant, this left many people absent from church over Christmas period.

4

We ended the year as we began it, unsure how the next weeks and months would unfold; there is in life always a sense of uncertainty and we have moved into 2022 deeply aware of this reality. However, as Christians we have hope and that is because, to quote the letter to the Hebrews once again, Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today and forever. I have several times since restrictions have eased, asked us all to come afresh to Christ, to pledge to follow and serve him with renewed confidence based on the conviction that he is faithful, for he is eternal and he is love. As we move forward, I repeat that request, can we pledge to return to Christ with all our hearts, to serve him in his church actively, beginning by drawing on his grace in the Blessed Sacrament? I am all too aware that many people are still feeling fragile, many are still apprehensive, but who profess our faith have a firm and eternal foundation, Christ himself and he bids us to come to him through his Church.

The invitation moving forward is clear: to come to him. Perhaps for the first time, perhaps for the first time in a long time, but come to him through worship and service is what we, the baptized, are called to do.

I ended my chairman’s report last year with a quotation from one of my favourite theologians, Yves Congar. Given the difficulties we have faced since then, I would like to end with it again, as it remains essential for us today. Fr Congar writes: ‘if the Church boldly throws herself open to lay activity, she will experience such as springtime as we cannot imagine’. I am asking you to throw yourself open, so that we as a parish can experience a springtime of faith, a time of growth, a time of renewal and a time of flourishing. Let us pledge to open our hearts and become a community of Missionary Disciples who point to Jesus, who is the same, yesterday, today and forever.

Yours in Christ,

Fr Daniel

The Parish of Saint Columba’s is a well-established Christian community, located in the suburb of Anfield and Deanery of Walton, within the Diocese of Liverpool.

Since the early incumbencies of Fr Norman Alcock and Fr James Howard Foy the parish has been firmly rooted in the Catholic tradition of the Church of England, and displays all its hallmarks both liturgically and doctrinally. The parish is led by Fr Daniel Howard, who was instituted as Vicar in February 2020. Fr Daniel is supported by two Churchwardens, Mr Jeff Brandwood and Mrs Irene Campbell, and a Reader, Mr Adrian Manson, who holds the Bishop’s License.

AIMS & PURPOSES

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of the Parish of St Columba, Anfield has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, Fr Daniel Howard, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the Church of St Columba, Anfield.

OBJECTIVES & ACTIVITIES

STATUTORY REPORTS

REPORT ON THE ELECTORAL ROLL SINCE THE LAST AGM

Throughout the year we have maintained our register of names on the Electoral Roll, though sadly, since the last APCM we have suffered bereavement as a Church family, particularly through the loss of Russell Banks, Sally Hincks and Ken Mousley and Maureen Jervis.

The church has seen a number of new parishioners arrive who are settling in nicely. This year we are adding new names to the roll: Jessica Howard and Amanda Roberts.

The total number on the roll therefore stands at 81, of whom 39 live within the parish and 42 live outside our boundaries.

Marj Allen Electoral Roll Officer

Report on the Proceedings of the Parochial Church Council (2021)

  1. The membership of the PCC since the last APCM in Sunday 30[th] May 2021 comprises of: Father Daniel Howard (Vicar & PCC Chair); Mr Jeff Brandwood (Church Warden & PCC Vice Chair); Mrs Irene Campbell (Church Warden & Deanery Synod Representative); Miss Julie Holland (Treasurer); Fr Tommy Allen (Assistant Priest), Mr Adrian Manson (Reader, Secretary & Deanery Synod Representative); Mrs Dawn Mercer (Parish Safeguarding Officer); Mr Jordan Mercer (Deanery Synod Representative); Mrs Jacqui Hale; Mr Robert Liston; Mrs Joyce Jones, Mrs Lynn Colgan, Mrs Lori Roberts, Ms Patsy Watterson and Mr Malcolm Dorr. It should be noted that Mrs Irene Taylor was co-opted as a member of the PCC by unanimous vote on 30[th] June 2021.

  2. In 2021, the PCC met on multiple occasions throughout the year, however it should be noted that for the first half of the year substantial legal Covid 19 restrictions remained in place which prevented social gatherings, meeting and mixing. The daily running of the parish was conducted by the Vicar in light of the continuing health crisis and the PCC met when it was permitted to do so in a ‘covid secure’ way. The PCC met on several occasions, including 27/01/21, 12/05/21, 30/05/21, 30/06/21, 09/09/21 and 25/11/21.

  3. In addition to the regular reports received at each meeting including updates and deanery developments, discussion has also taken place on the following

topics, when the PCC been permitted to meet met due to the including:

an essential part of their first steps back into society after long periods of isolation. The café is now open and is welcoming new customers.

Safeguarding of Children and Vulnerable Adults

Following the Safeguarding Review of the parish last year, 2020, 2021 has seen continued work in this area, ensuring that we are not only compliant with the latest guidelines and guidance, but also that we are promoting a culture of safeguarding that is everyone’s responsibility. Safeguarding is a permanent item on the PCC agenda which gives credence to how important it is for us collectively and personally as leaders in the parish. Full safeguarding checks, including confidential declarations, fit and proper persons forms, code of safer working practice and DBS checks are completed for elected PCC members. The Safer Recruitment Process is followed for those working directly with adults and children. It has been necessary to begin this process with the re-structuring of Sunday School which is ongoing. At the last APCM the PCC has adopted the House of Bishops Safeguarding Policy, and this, as well as the contact details for diocesan and local safeguarding advisors feature on the ‘Promoting a Safer Church’ poster located around the building. Training for those who undertake work with children, as well as for those in positions of leadership (PCC) is ongoing.

Financial Report of the Parochial Church Council

As was documented in the last financial report, the Covid pandemic caused untold difficulties, in 2021 those difficulties continued, and this was largely due to the imposition and subsequent relaxation of restrictions. The cyclical nature of stop and start as the pandemic shifted made forward financial planning almost

12

impossible particularly in light of the fact that so much of our fundraising is subject to social interaction and social events; this being the case for the vast majority of churches, the parish was fortunate to receive some credit from the church commissioners which resulted in the parish share being slightly reduced from its normal amount. It should be noted that that parish share remains are largest single expense, and yet we have continued to pay this amount in full throughout the pandemic, and so our thanks must go to you for your continued generosity and support. On the easing of restrictions in the summer of 2021 we were able to re-open for social interaction and slowly begin to build up once again our common life together, Columba’s Café re-opened for service and whilst progress initial progress was slow, things began to edge slowly towards normality as the year progressed. As has been detailed above, a usual round of building works and in the summer time, a substantial roof repair, meant that finance was expended, there are, of course, further works to be tackled all of which will have a significant impact. We were blessed at the end of 2021 by donations from St John’s Walton, and from the estate of Allen Lomas, and from a member of our own congregation, which enabled us to weather the winter Covid storm and the arrival of the omicron variant which again affected our activities. The financial report below indicates the state of our accounts, but with the increased costs of living, not least the energy price increases facing us all, and uncertainty ahead yet again, at this junction we would describe our financial situation as ‘stable’ rather than ‘secure’ and as such will need careful monitoring. A financial overview will be given at the meeting.

Report on the Fabric, Goods and Ornaments of the Churches of the Parish Church & Community Centre

The overall stewardship of the ‘Fabric, Goods and Ornaments’ is an ongoing task undertaken by the Churchwardens year by year. This Fabric, Goods and Ornaments report is the process by which the Church of England oversees and ensures good management of all the Church physical assets. In 2021 the following works have been completed or undertaken:

Report on the Proceedings of the Deanery Synod

The Deanery Synod met several times over the course of 2021, particularly in the latter half of the year with the easing of restrictions. The initial meetings were largely geared to supporting one another based on the impact of the pandemic and what practical support may be necessary. One substantial issue was covered with a Deanery away day in July. This day was focussed on the future of the deanery and what the future might look like, and whether substantial or small reorganisation needed to take place to enable a workable appointment to be made within the Walton Team. Broadly, the deanery has moved along the line of small reorganisation, but such plans have yet to be finalised. In the latter half of the year we were informed that St John’s, Walton had been left a very substantial legacy of over half a million pounds. The trustees involved in the administration of this legacy generously donated two thousand pounds to each church and the PCC of St John’s matched the donation.

NON-STATUTORY REPORTS

Discipleship

The vision for our parish is to be a community of ‘Missionary Disciples’ who point people to Jesus. The key word in some ways is disciples. We cannot be missionary, that is, sharing the good news and pointing people to Jesus, if we are not first his disciples, if we are not first in friendship with him. As such, discipleship was placed at the heart of our common life together. Each of us is called to pray, read (the scriptures) and learn the Christian faith, so in the latter half of the year with the easing of restrictions, we embarked on a number of discipleship course together. We began with the scriptures and the Bible course, exploring the nature of the scriptures and the overarching story of our salvation, delving into the Old and New Testaments. Confirmation classes followed for both adults and children which gave a solid grounding in the Christian faith – exploring the person of Jesus Christ, the Mass, and how we live the Christian life. In Advent, we explored the nature of Jesus Christ through the lens of priest, prophet and king and how we, because we are united to his body by baptism, are also sharers in these three offices. Discipleship is not for the few, but for the many, in fact it is for all. We must grow as disciples if we wish to be missionary, if we truly desire to point people to Jesus Christ our redeemer. Will you do so as we move forward together?

Pinehurst Primary School

The link between the parish and Pinehurst Primary School is a longstanding one and we enjoy a good relationship. The impact of the pandemic on schools has been considerable and this is certainly the case with our local school. As has been detailed above, we have tried to support the children with the provision of more luxury items which stretched parents may not otherwise have been able to provide. The changing guidance issued has meant for a large part of 2021 I was unable to physically be present in school in my capacity as a school governor. Nearly all meetings were held on Zoom but I was able to share the Good News of Good Friday and Easter with the children in the form of a lesson during Holy Week. We have also welcome the children into Church on several occasions, during Christmas and Eastertide to enable them to enrich their understanding. It is hoped that as 2022 progresses we can do more together and further strengthen the relationship we have shared for many years.

Messy Church

As was detailed in my report above, in the Autumn we began Messy Church. The creation of Messy Church for Saint Columba’s was high on my list of priorities when I was offered towards the end of 2019 and beginning in 2020 I had looked forward to establishing the group with the sole aim of attracting newcomers to Church and building relationships with the local community. These plans were, like everything else, put on hold due to the nature of the pandemic and the ban on social mixing, rendering if almost impossible to begin children’s work. Eighteen months later we were in a position to begin this new venture and people were quick to sign up and volunteer to help. There were a number of sessions in 2021 covering the themes of Harvest, Christ the King and Christmas. Some of which have attracted large numbers of children with a small group of children returning to each session. This method of outreach takes time to embed, and I hope will bear fruit as we enter into 2022 when hopefully life will return to some sense of normality.

Food Pantry

During a meeting of the PCC in the summer we able to consider our vision to point people to Jesus. The idea of a food pantry to serve the local community was one again that I had presented at my interview, grounded in the reality that the catholic tradition in which we stand has food at its heart, the eucharist, and from the eucharist, we are called to be bread for world, giving of ourselves for the sake of others. The food pantry is designed to alleviate some financial pressure on by providing a reasonable quantity of good quality food at a fraction of the price of a normal supermarket shop and so help people who would otherwise struggle.

16

The pantry is not the same as a food bank which supplies emergency food, it is based on the personal choice and selection of the individual. It is hoped that this project spearheaded by the church will impact our community in a positive way, reducing some of the pressures of daily living. Whilst this initiative has originated with us as a church, community partners such as Plus Dane Housing have offered to provide support and assistance. It is hoped that this project will be underway by the summer of 2022.
