ectives and Activi
ies
St Mary's PCC has the ￿SponsIbl11ty of co-operating with the parish priest, the
Reverend Ruth Barr, and the Churchwardens in promoting in the ecclesiastical
parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelical, social and
ecumenical. Our vision statement is Our vision for St. Mary's is to be an outward
looking and welcoming Church, catering for all age groups and helping the local
communities to experience God's love and grow in faith.
Saf
din
St Mary's PCC remains committed to ensuring the safeguarding of our children,
young people and vulnerable adults whilst engaged in activities at St, Mary's
Church. All PCC members hold a current DBS check. Safeguarding is on the agenda
of every meeting.
The current safeguarding policy is displayed outside the church office with a
summary in the porch and St Michael's room. The policy is reviewed annually by
the PCC and various additional policies have been introduced in the past year in
accordance with Diocesan requirements. The PCC has complied with the duty
under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to
have due regard to House of Bishops, guidance on safeguarding children and
vulnerable adults). The documents, 'Protecting all God's children, and 'Promoting
a safer church, have also provided guidance.
Achievem
nts Performance & Review of the Year
As of 31, December 2024, there We￿ 106 (2023 - 109) parishioners on the
church electoral roll, 37 (2023 - 37) of whom are not resident within the parish.
Life events for 2024:
E] There were 4 weddings, 3 at St Mary's and one in St Mary's Abridge for a
couple whose parents are buried here at St Mary's
El We conducted 2 wedding blessing ceremonies.
EJ We conducted 17 baptisms, l of which was for an adult who wanted to fulfill
the role of a godparent but needed to be baptised first.

We hosted a Bishop's Team Confirmation service and presented 3 candidates
for Confirmation from St Mary's to Bishop Jane after preparation classes held at
St Mary's School for two of the primary school aged children and an afternoon
session in collaboration with St Michael and All Angels for all children and
teenagers.
We conducted 17 funerals, 10 of which included a full service at the church
before burial or cremation.
[] We held 21 Burial of Ashes services here at St Mary's, either in our Garden of
Remembrance or in the New Churchyard.
It has been a busy year, with various occasional offices held as well as regular
services and special occasions marked.
Our choir-led Choral Evensong is on the 1st Sunday each month, except
January, August and December and it is a beautiful, contemplative type service.
There are usually rn0￿ people in the choir than the congregation, so we sit
together in the sanctuary. Please consider joining us.
The Sunday club meets on the 2nd and 3rd Sundays of the month, and has been
going from strength to strength. The congregation enjoy seeing what the
nursery & primary school aged children have been learning.
Rev Ruth goe5 into St Mary's School each week to lead collettive worship and
the children enjoy their daily time of meeting with God as they start each day..
The whole school, arriving by coach, visits the church four times a year for their
Easter, End of Summer term, Harvest and Christmas seniices. This is a
wonderful collaboration between school and church and having members of the
church community on hand to welcome the children, staff and parents has been
lovely.
Rev Penny has taken over collaborating with the school and has a rota set up for
displays for our Hope railings, each year group is responsible for making a
display for the 6 sets we use, which keeps it fresh and engages all the children.
St Mary's Church is well known for the wonderful concerts that they offer and
2024 was no exception.
In February, we again enjoyed listening to the Bella Cora choir.
March saw us opening our doors for 3 days to a film crew for a series which will
take just over a year to be screened. A funeral, a burial and then an exhumation
took place under the watchful eye of the vicar, the administrator and the chair of
our fabric committee, to make sure nothing was damaged or moved without
permission and that St Mary's was resperted in every way. The title of the
program is -I, Jack Wright.-
In March we had our Spring coffee morning which gave people the opportunity
to have a clear out of their pre-loved bric-a-brac and gave others the chance to
browse and buy things to take home whilst enjoying tea and cakes too.

April was a perfect time to enjoy the live music of a guTtar recital when Mark
Jennings came to give us a concert and to raise funds for the church.
May saw us hosting a fundraising cream tea event ,which was most appreciated
by all those who came and also brought in funds to the church.
The highlight for 2024 has been the most welcome addition to our clergy team of
the Rev Sara Head. After finishing her placement with us earlier in the year,
Sara joined St Mary's after her Deaconing ordination at St Albans Cathedral on
Sunday June 30th June, as our curate in training for the next three years. Sara
is usually accompanied by Tandyi her hearing dog, who has also been warmly
welcomed here. Her title now is Curate in Training.
Sara juggles her full-time career as an assistant Head Teacher at Heathlands
School and ministering as part of the Bishops HatField team. Ruth is her Training
Incumbent and it has been a joy to welcome Sara into our congregation and for
all that her ministry has brought to us already.
Early July gave another opportunity for us to raise some much needed funds
with another film crew arriving with some very well-known actors, to film a
program called "Go away." This was all filmed outdoors in both our New and Old
churchyard, again under supervision.
In early October, we saw phase l of our Memorial Pathway Inscriptions finally
take place, as 11 stones were inscribed in situ on the paths outside the church.
These were to memorialise the names and dates for people who had their ashes
interred in our churchyard and is offered now as an additional option for the
metal plaques which are on the raised Garden of Remembrance.
On Sunday 13 October, we enjoyed St Mary's School and Countess Anne
School joining together for an evening called Primary Schools Songs of Praise.
They were well supported and it was a joy to see so many young people singing
together, accompanied by their respective Head Teacher's on the organ and
guitar.
We trialled a craft day in November which although small in the numbers of
those who attended was enjoyed by the people who did come and will probably
be something which we run again.
On a cold and wintry December evening, we listened to a wonderful concert from
the King's Chamber Orchestra for their fourth year in a row, after performing at
St Mary's School in the afternoon surrounded by 160 teddy bears being included
for the teddies, concert.
Our termly children's events are also gaining in popularity, and we have people
coming from all over to attend and enjoy the afternoon of games, crafts, food
and fun.
El Spring term: each Easter Monday we have an Easter Egg Hunt.
Summer: Our very popular Teddy Bears. Picnic.
E] Autumn: As an antidote to the darkness of Halloween, we offer an Angels and
Light Party.

We have trialled these events as free tickets as they are all missional. The
purpose of each of these events IS to help people find our church, to let families
know we know how to have fun, to put on an event that is well organised, and
doesn't cost a family a lot of money.
Having started a Fresh Expression of church with our monthly Wild Worship
afternoon in 2023, we have decided to continue this wonderful way of meeting
with God in nature. We meet in the churchyard, regardless of the weather, under
the gazebo and have 90 minutes of making something connected with nature, or
that benefits wildlife, we always cook something on the camp-fire and eat
it out in the open. Very often someone walking their dog, or visiting a grave will
have a cup of hot chocolate offered to them, or a slice of freshly baked bread
with home-grown honey. It is on the 4th Sunday each month from 2.30pm to
4pm. Come and give it a try.
March and November are great months to have a clear out at home. Capitalising
on this, our Coffee mornings and cake sales are always popular for people to
come and have a look around good quality things beautifully displayed on the
tables then sit and enjoy delicious cakes and biscuits while chatting to their
friends. We need a bigger parish room! Each time, we then appreciate the team
of volunteers who take to local charity shops what has not sold, so the whole
community benefits and we raise some much needed funds for the church.
We hosted our second Arts Festival this year, which was for one week in
September, and was hugely successful. We know it took a lot of work to pull it
together after visits to other such events elsewhere and our thanks go to all
those involved, both in the advance research, purchasing of resources,
advertising, setting up the large number of stands, and during the week itself for
ticket sales, and purchases.
October is when we turn our eyes towards the coming winter months and so
appreciate the opportunity to come together for a Harvest Supper presented so
beautifully by our catering team. There is also usually a quiz or two to keep us
on our toes.
St Michael's Parish Room is a much used and much loved space that has been
decorated with bunting that matches the season or event. Please take a moment
to enjoy it next time you are in there, or when getting a coffee after the service.
Thank you again to the team who keep it looking so beautiful.
The next big change was our toddler group, called Coffee Pots & Tiny Tots. After
struggling with declining numbers, we researched what makes people choose a
toddler group. With a great team behind us, we then laid out the parish room
into zones and made the group weekly instead of fortnightly. We introduced
healthy snacks for the kids and added groups on Facebook to get the word out.
Within a few weeks, numbers had started to rise and we now average about 15
babies and toddlers each week.

ar
It is always a privilege to visit members of our parish who are unable to attend
church due to age or infirmity. We would like this to be lay-led, so are setting up
a pastoral visiting team who will be authorised and equipped to visit people at
home and hospital and offer pre-consecrated communion, if this is required. If you
would like to be paired up with someone and trained in this, please let us know.
ean
Three members of the PCC sit on the deanery synod. This provides the PCC with
an important link between the parish and the wider structure of the church.
Items discussed over the year based on presentations by guest speakers were:
Rachel Drury, who spoke on The Alban Way Projert, which works with young
people from 18-35 who embark on the project for a year whilst continuing with
their normal life. It begins with a residential weekend, they then meet once a
month for a meal and discussion and near the end of the year walk for eight days
on part of the Camino way. Susannah Clarkson and Corinne Lewis who discussed
the Diocesan Dispute Advisory Senlice giving different methods of help available
to assist in resolving and providing support in situations. Catherine and Stephen
Jupp who gave an interesting talk about their Charity organisation, Furniture
Friends, based in Datchworth. The aim of the organisation is to provide furniture
for people who have nothing. They collect furniture from anyone who is willing to
donate it.
Financial Review
The accounts for the year ended 31. December 2024 have been prepared on the
receipts and payments basis, which is consistent with those of last year.
Receipts from all sources in 2024 were £179,664 (2023 £138,788) whilst
£185,414 (2023 £135,071) was paid to provide Christian ministry from St.
Mary's Church. That resulted in an excess of payments over receipts of £5,750
(2023
excess of receipts over payments of £3,718).
OSSIF funds of £6,665 were received in 2024 which together with the balance of
£5,865 carried forward from 2023 totalled £12,530, was spent on capital type
projects undertaken in 2024. Other grants totalling £37,045 were received in the
year, primarily for the new sound system and the renovation and replacement of
the Stained glass window in the church.
The church received £18,543 in respect of the Curate's property in Bulls Lane
and spent £3,939 maintaining the property. Dividends and bank interest of
£1,248 were received during the year.

£72,870 was paid during the year as our contribution towards the Diocesan
parish share, an increase of £573 on the previous year.
IOO/o of pledged income raised in 2023, together with special collections this
year, totalling £6,626 was spent on away giving to overseas missions, relief
agencies and home missions.
From a financial point of view, although it was disappointing to have a deficit for
the year, but it should be borne in mind that £52,484 (2023 £630) was spent
on capital type items and nearly 920/0 of that expenditure was financed by grants
and donations. A special mention of the fundraising committee must be made for
their efforts this year. Cash reserves at the year end, totalled £31,412 and can
be split £22,069 for Unrestricted & Designated funds, £7,843 for Restricted
funds and £1,500 for Endowment funds. We do need to keep on top of our
fundraising this year.
Reserves
In 1991, the St. Michael's fund was established following the sale of the St.
Michael's Chapel of Ease, with the income being available for general purposes
and the capital being available for capital projects only. At 31 December 2024,
the balance on this fund amounted to £16,342. It IS the policy of the PCC that
this fund should be preserved until such time in the future when it may be
required.
It is also the policy of the PCC to set aside each year an appropriate sum to put
into the Fabric provision, to fund any major works that may become necessary
on the church buildings. This year, due to the amount of capital expenditure, the
fabric provision of £10,000 at the start of the year was reduced by £5,000 to
enable us to meet our regular liabilities. Accordingly, the balance of the Fabric
provision at 31 December 2024 was £5,000.
It is the policy of the PCC to preserve these funds as much as possible to enable
the interest earned on them to make an impart on our annual running costs, to
provide for emergencies and to enable future generations of church members to
benefit.
