Review of the Year from the Rector
2022 will be seen as the year when we started to emerge from the Covid pandemic and began to return to a more regular pattern of church life. It’s also been a year when we’ve seen some new ministries being established, different patterns of worship initiated and big events planned. It’s been exciting to see and we thank God for the different ways that we’ve been able to connect with God, with each other and with our wider community. 2022 was launched as our ‘Year of Connection’ and we can be encouraged to see what God has done in and through us as he has led us forward.
The ‘ Year of Connection’ focussed on 3 main areas. Connecting with God, Connecting with each other and Connecting with our community. Both ‘Joyzone’ and ‘Breakfast church’ filled that brief beautifully. ‘Joyzone’ met
each afternoon on the first Sunday of the month. It was set up as a joint venture with Lifespring Community Church to reach out to families with primary school age children. With an excellent balance of craft activities, games, music and teaching it has done exactly that. We’ve got to know God better through it, we’ve got to know each other across both churches better, and we’ve seen members of our wider community come along who have no previous church experience. It has been exciting to see.
Breakfast Church launched in February and we’ve been very grateful indeed for the way that Alice Kerby and her team have catered for us so conscientiously with delicious bacon and sausage baps as well as other breakfast essentials. A time of worship, prayer and teaching then follows but all in an informal and relaxed setting. Somehow it seems we were all craving for something to bring us together and connect us again as a church family after the social distancing of the Covid years. All generations are represented and it’s been lovely to see.
The Platinum Jubilee Picnic was a fantastic success and it was lovely to be able to really take a lead on planning something that would connect us more tightly with our community and would allow our community to connect again more intentionally with each other. Again, it seemed like this was an event that we as a village had all been waiting for and it was the first big social get together since the pandemic. The sun came out and so did the people. It was lovely too to be able to have a special Jubilee service in church before the day’s events began. Of course, three months later we gathered for the Queen in very different circumstances but what a privilege to honour someone whose Christian faith has been so paramount in their life.
So there have been these particular things to celebrate alongside the continuing and ongoing ministry and witness of the church. For me, personally, being able to celebrate my first normal Easter after nearly 3 years in post was a particular highlight! In the Autumn our services moved back to 10.30am which has proved to be a popular move. We are so grateful for the Church band that leads us in worship and for the new AV system which is proving to be a real blessing in all sorts of different ways. Home Groups and all our other many and varied groups have continued to meet throughout the year catering for all ages and helping to meet peoples spiritual, emotional and social needs. The ‘Overton Well-being Forum’ has been set up seeking to enable local charities and service providers to be able to connect more intentionally with each other as they work together to help meet physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social need in our local community. Links with the school have grown and developed as the year has progressed and it has been so encouraging to see the ‘Open the Book’ team return to the school again after the pandemic. 2022 was undoubtedly still a year of catch up after Covid and that was seen in the number of weddings and baptisms we had but by the end of the year we had got there and our Christmas services – particularly the Christingles – were a wonderful reminder of how good it is to be able to properly gather and celebrate as a church and a community the good news of Jesus.
Homegroups
I am extremely grateful to David Spencer who has headed up our Home Groups for a number of years but who stood down from that role mid-2022. David’s pastoral heart and theological insight has been a great source of encouragement and support to all our Home group leaders.
We have continued to have 8 groups meeting with about 70 people attending. We believe that small groups are essential for the life of a flourishing, healthy church and flourishing, healthy disciples. The intentional aim of our Home groups is to grow together as disciples as we seek to follow Jesus’ mandate to ‘go and make disciples of all nations’ , recognising that, in order to make disciples of all nations, we must first be disciples ourselves.
We strongly encourage all those who consider themselves to be members of St. Mary’s to be playing an active and committed role in a Home group. We recognise that we are all different people, at different stages of our lives and at different stages of our journey with God.
I would want to say a huge thank you to all our Home Group leaders who give of themselves so wholeheartedly week by week to help nurture and encourage the faith of their group members. If you would like to join a group, please contact the individual Home group leader (details on website and noticeboard) or Rev James.
Finally, it just leaves me to say a massive thank you to everyone for all you do so willingly and wholeheartedly in the service of God here in Overton. Annabel and I are so glad to be here with you.
PCC
The full PCC met 5 times during the year (February, March, July, September and November). The average level of attendance was 69% ( 2022: 74%). Finance reports were presented at each meeting, keeping the PCC up to date on income and expenditure. The budgets for 2022 and 2023 were approved.
Financial Review
General Church Income and Expenditure for 2022 showed a deficit of £47,206 for the year. After allowing for the planned Mary Taylor legacy expenditure of £33,066 repointing the churchyard walls and contributing to the fallen wall, this represents a loss of around £14,500 (compared to a budget deficit of £8,779) .
The valuation of General CBF Trust funds decreased by £3,857 from December 2021, giving a net loss of £51,063 in general funds.
This is laid out in the Statement of Financial Activities (page 3 of the Annual report and finance statement). Income
Total receipts in general unrestricted funds were £128,084 (£113,733 in 2021) and the figures are detailed on page one of Annual report and finance statement .
Regular giving by standing order and through the Parish Giving scheme to the general fund brought in £60,765 in Gift Aided Donations (£61,347 in 2021). £16,552 was recovered from income tax through gift aided donations to the general fund (£16,041 in 2021).
Collections (both contactless and in cash) at services were £3,375 compared to £1,308 in 2021. We also received a grant of £1,825 from the diocese towards increased fuel prices. Donations and appeals raised £3091 for general funds (£4021 in 2021 including the legacy of £2000).
Income from hire of church rooms rose to at £5,609 (£2,056 in 2021) and Test magazine income also increased by £1,474 from advertising income and £1,971 from subscriptions compared to 2021. Fees from weddings and funerals in 2022 went into the general fund (£7,482 compared to £4971 in 2021).
Interest and dividends increased at the end of 2022 with a total income in general funds of £4,454 (£985 in 2021).
Overall general unrestricted income was £128,084 compared to the budget figure of £123,015. Expenditure
Resources expended from unrestricted funds totalled £175,290 (£207,182 in 2021) and the figures are detailed on page two of Annual report and finance statement . Without the costs of the building projects, general fund expenditure rose to £142,224 in 2022 (£122,442 in 2021) compared to the budget of £131,794.
The Diocesan Parish share was £75,463 (£70,284 in 2021) and utility bills rose to £5,731 (£2,918 in 2021). Planned building projects cost £33,066 on the churchyard wall in 2022 (whilst in 2021 £84,740 was spent on AV system). Upkeep of services rose to £6,898 (£5,063 in 2021). Printing costs for the Test magazine were also £1,121 higher as we returned to printing of a full 12 issues.
Expenditure on upkeep of the Churchyard was moved into the general fund, as the Churchyard fund remains in deficit and has a very small annual income from investment dividends. This is the reason for the apparent rise in staff costs from the general fund to £16,423 (£9,955 in 2021).
Mission giving in 2022 amounted to £9,359 from general giving and £3,275 in specific donations. The details of how this was allocated are laid out in the notes to the accounts (page 5).
Reserves
The total reserves carried forward on 31st December 2022 for unrestricted and restricted funds totals £314,082 (£361,398 in 2021). In the general fund the total reserves were £293,423, but £27,521 is not currently “accessible” as it is held in a CBF Trust Fund, leaving £265,902 as available reserves.
Reserves Policy
The PCC aims to maintain a balance on accessible and uncommitted reserve funds, which equates to at least three months expenditure (£35,000) to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time. It is the aim of the PCC to improve the finances through growth in membership and encouraging faithful stewardship of members, supplemented by fundraising and good stewardship of outgoings, to keep the reserves above the desired level. The unrestricted accessible reserves on 31st December 2022 were £265,902.
Our general funds balance is currently invested in CBF Church of England Deposit Funds.
SAFEGUARDING
The PCC declares that they have complied with the duty under Section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (the duty to have regard to the House of Bishops’ guidance on Safeguarding children and vulnerable adults).
