**----- End of picture text -----**
## **FOREWORD** This report is published by the PCC in accordance with the requirements of the Church Representation Rules that ‘require an annual report on the proceedings of the parochial church council and the activities of the parish generally’ to be received by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting. As such, it is a legal document and much of its structure is prescribed. The PCC hopes it will be an interesting read and helpful as the Parish carries on its mission to the communities of East Hull. Reports on the activities of the three DCC’s, and other groups for which the PCC or DCC’s take direct responsibility, are detailed and cover a huge range of activities. Further information about the various church activities can be obtained via the web site **http://www.drypoolparish.org.uk** or the Parish Office at 139 Laburnum Avenue, Hull, HU8 8PA (01482 786553). All three Churches have Facebook pages and our Privacy Notice is displayed on the web site. **https://www.facebook.com/StColumbaChurchDrypool https://www.facebook.com/St-Johns-Rosmead-Street-108212454394785 https://www.facebook.com/victoriadock.church** **The PCC would like to thank everyone who has worked tirelessly during this year to make our Churches a lively and vibrant community in such difficult circumstances. Special thanks to all our Ministers (Ordained & Lay); to those who lead worship, to our Churchwardens, to all Council and committee members and to all our many other volunteers in so many areas. Thank you all so much!** **The image on the front page is in the form of a Venn diagram invented by John Venn.

A Team Ministry was established in 1980. #### The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of the Parish is a charity directly registered with the Charity Commissioners (no. 1130341). There are three District Church Councils. ## _**The Charity’s Trustees**_ PCC members who have served from 1[st] January 2021 until the date this report was approved were: Team Rector (St Columba): Revd Dave Griffith-Jones (Chairman) Team Vicar (St John’s & Victoria Dock): Revd Martyn Westby 20s to 40s Minister Matthew Burnell to 28/5/20 Churchwardens St Columba’s Lynne Scott Carole Harvey Representatives on the Deanery Synod Canon Richard Liversedge ** (Vice Chairman & Treasurer) Jean Clark Elaine Galloway Cathy Westby ** Elected Members Ron Gooding Dave Norton to 11/10/21 John Saunderson Angeline Bowes Melanie Whetton Rose Wragg Marlene Harrison (Secretary) from 11/1/21 It is agreed policy that Readers are not ex-officio on the PCC but they are eligible for election. The current licensed Reader is Margaret Liversedge. Victoria Agius and Joseph Ingram are Recognised Parish Assistants. ** Members of Diocesan Synod **3 |** P a g e **THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF DRYPOOL** ## **ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ## _**The Church Councils**_ ## Parochial Church Council (PCC) The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Team Rector in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is the legal employer of any lay workers in the Parish (excluding Matthew Burnell). The pandemic continued but following a summer of recovery the autumn brought us nearer ‘normal’. Owing to COVID the PCC met, twice physically and twice by Zoom, during the year (plus a short meeting to elect the officers). Despite these difficulties the PCC dealt with some significant items: - Living Christ’s Story – a major consultation from the Diocese led to the PCC responding to various questions posed about the future direction of ministry in the years ahead (this will return in 2022) - We devoted a large part of a meeting discussing how Clergy are looked after both in terms of their own responsibilities and ourselves as the local Body of Christ - We agreed as the employer to extend Lois’ contract - We planned another Parish Away Day - We acknowledged the commencement of Martyn’s sabbatical, the unexpected departure of Multiply Minster Matthew Burnell, received the resignation of Dave Norton on his departure to St John’s Newland and with sadness noted the death of Richard Boniface who had been a member of the PCC for several years Standing items at each meeting: - Reports from the three churches including clergy comments - Finance, including receiving reports on payment of the 2021 Freewill Offers being made by the individual churches - Approval of Faculty Applications as the ‘parent’ body - Deanery Synod Reports ## District Church Councils (DCC) Officially established DCC’s exist at all three churches and these dealt with many other issues at a ‘local’ level. The method of appointment of PCC & DCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The PCC & DCC’s comprise the Incumbent, the Team Vicar, the Churchwardens, those elected to the Deanery/Diocesan/General Synod (who serve on one DCC), other members who are elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting by those on the Electoral Roll or who are co-opted. Members of the congregation are always urged to join the Electoral Roll, and to stand for election to the PCC. **4 |** P a g e **THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF DRYPOOL** ## **ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ## _**Overall Perspective of the Parish**_ _“As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” (John 20:21)_ The Covid pandemics and the lockdowns that got us through them have given our three churches a unique opportunity to be reshaped as the people Jesus wants us to be. We’ve been given the chance to start again, to live out our identity as people sent into the world by the Lord Jesus in the power of his Holy Spirit. In all three of our churches, new people have joined us in 2021. Some are even turning up without having been invited! I hear the same story from other church leaders in Hull and across the country – people are more open to the gospel than they have been in decades, and our churches need to be ready to welcome people and to help them take steps forward in following Jesus. Let’s praise God for the new life we see, and keep praying for the Lord to add to our number those who are being saved! In all three of our churches, people have been supporting and encouraging each other through difficult times. We’ve faced isolation, grief, mental health difficulties, illnesses and lots more, and members of our churches have responded in love. Let’s praise God for where we see this fruit of the Spirit, and let’s keep loving each other as life gets busy again and distractions come our way. In all three of our churches, we’ve been able to gather again to worship God, to listen to his Word, to pray together and encourage each other. Our worship together is central to our lives as churches, and our commitment to do this has been an encouragement to me. Let’s remember how much we missed it when we couldn’t meet, and keep making it a priority to gather around God’s Word and the Lord’s table Sunday by Sunday. We are a sent people, sent into God’s world like Jesus was, to love people and bring them the message of eternal life. There are still tens of thousands of people in our parish living and dying without Christ. God wants them to come to him, and he wants to use us in making that happen. Let’s be bold in inviting, confident in speaking of Jesus, committed in loving people, constant in praying for them. Let’s live as people sent out by Jesus, making the most of the opportunities that God is giving us right now. _Dave Griffith Jones_ **5 |** P a g e **THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF DRYPOOL** ## **ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ## _**St Columba’s Report**_ 2021 was another year affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, with the third lockdown starting in January, and restrictions only being fully lifted in July. Through it all we tried to live out our identity: that by God’s grace we are a family who follow Jesus and reach out to our community. We divided our approach into Responding, Recovering and Reconstructing. ## Responding We were able to continue Sunday services in a Covid-safe manner through the third lockdown for those who felt safe to come (about half our pre-Covid number). We continued to support people at home through our online Sunday services, daily videos on Facebook and Bible study groups on Zoom (thanks to Margaret Liversedge for her help with these). Members supported each other with phone calls and one-to-one meet ups outside when they were allowed, and thanks to Linda Hobbs we could send CDs to encourage people with no internet access. ## Recovering Once most people had received their vaccines and restrictions began to be lifted, we wanted to make sure that we helped people to recover from what we’ve been through, rather than racing straight into making everything happen. Our Wednesday Central group in church started meeting in person again after Easter, and Lois Thomas started a group for mums with babies, and a new youth group. We were able to start singing again at the end of July, and coffee mornings helped us to reconnect with each other and to have the confidence to return to church. ## Reconstructing After the summer, our attention turned to reconstructing, and starting to be a church that makes disciples again as we learn to live with Covid. In September, we restarted Sunday school, along with our Thursday Night Thing for families, and the Starting Blocks toddler group to support young families and remake connections with the community. Our Sunday numbers returned to their pre-Covid levels, and Thursday Night Thing regularly attracted 35-40 people, more than ever came before the lockdowns. We recruited new people to serve in different roles on Sundays, and over 40 people are now involved in various roles. The Omicron variant in December disrupted our Christmas outreach again, and meant that attendance became more erratic, but heading into 2022 we are at a stage where we can look to grow in faith, in unity and in number. The same Lord who has been our strength and refuge through Covid will be with us as we reach out again with the good news of Jesus. _Dave Griffith-Jones_ **6 |** P a g e **THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF DRYPOOL** ## **ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** _______________________________________________________________________________________________ _**The Churchwardens report on the fabric and contents of St Columba’s Church for 2021**_ ## **Church** A second handrail has been installed in the entrance porch , faculty was granted for this. Two windows have been repaired, faculty was obtained for this. We have installed additional speakers in the church. All the church lightbulbs have been replaced with LED bulbs. All fire extinguishers have been replaced. Outside on the Church building a down pipe faculty was obtained for this. Painting has been carried out in both church porches. ## **Hall** All the hall lights and fittings have been replaced. Fire extinguishers have been replaced. Painting has been carried out in the link corridor ## **Grounds** Work has been completed on gutters and ridge tiles. Trees have been cut back. Clearing work has continued. ## **General** We would like to thank everyone who has helped keep our church clean and well maintained and the garden looking good throughout the past year. _Carole Harvey and Lynne Scott_ **7 |** P a g e **THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF DRYPOOL** ## **ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ## _**St John’s Report**_ Like everyone Covid meant many challenges, adaptions, opportunities and questions about the future. The first part of the year saw the church continuing to walk between online, socially distanced, and masked and unmasked worship. At times it felt like surviving a week at a time, and at others that God was really sustaining us. Our outreach to the community really grew as we provided a chance for good cheap food and to meet with friends, and to share worries. We continued to get to know, quite closely new people every week. When we were able to open up again, we prayed that new contacts would join us. We moved our main Friday worship to Wednesday late afternoon, much more sat round tables and simplified food, and started a fortnightly Sunday Morning Worship. Wednesdays {WOW- Worship on Wednesday} did draw those new contacts and at our Christmas service we were heading towards 50 and only a small number were with us before Covid. Sundays have been regularly 15 to 20 and again regularly new folk who we know well but did not previously attend. This is so exciting, whilst we pray that others who were part of us re-join or find the right new spiritual home for them. We have been able to continue to reopen our ways of serving and reaching out to the community with Craft Group meeting again and being very important to some isolated folk and we have had a weekly gardening group, Shedheads, that as provided a place of safety, activity and support to more isolated people. One of our great joys has been being able to reopen our Stay and Play mother and toddler group which has been so popular, we entered the new year with a waiting list. We are grateful that 2 of our members have been able to be part of the Mustard Seed, stepping out training, and Stay and Play as really benefitted from this Our pantry now meets on Tuesdays and Fridays and regularly welcomes 70 or so people over the two days. It was a delight to see that community and church connection as we were able to celebrate our Carol Service on a Tuesday morning with about 40 folk there. It is a massive thanks I give to those who supported us in prayer and financially, and especially to a small group of folk who have graciously and lovingly made all that possible. ## **Fabric Report** We end the year in good health. We have had minor jobs needed, new taps and light, new shelving for our pantry, and a new display fridge for the same. Thanks to the council for grants for this, we have been able to pay for these. We also renewed our mic and projector and screens. A big thanks to our Shedheads group for keeping the grounds looking so good. _Martyn Westby_ **8 |** P a g e **THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF DRYPOOL** ## **ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ## _**Victoria Dock Church Report**_ Like all our Churches we have also faced the challenge of adapting as Covid rules changed. It has been really good to meet regularly, safely, distanced and masked for most of the year, but singing together again. A great big thanks to all the team who have come early to set up, and make sure things were safe and everybody was welcomed warmly. Again, massive thanks to Mel, Dave and Kat, and Margaret for making it possible to have really high-quality input every week. We have also seen new people joining us and staying. We are so very grateful for the incredible years of service of Graham Wragg who stepped down from responsibilities this year. What a servant he has been to us and the parish. It was a great joy to end this year with the chance to restart our Christmas Eve Carol Service. With the restrictions that were necessary for safety we were able to welcome 40 plus, and it was so lovely to tell and sing of the hope that the Christmas story brings as his light shines in the darkness. _Martyn Westby_ **9 |** P a g e **THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF DRYPOOL** ## **ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ## _**Children's and Youth Work**_ _“We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord.” (Psalm 78:4)_ 2021 was a really exciting year for telling children and young people the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord. Highlights included: - St John’s have moved their families’ congregation from a Friday to a Wednesday, and renamed it WOW – Worship On Wednesday. Up to 40 people have been joining each week, including lots who didn’t have a connection with the church before Covid. - St John’s have started a playgroup for pre-schoolers, led by Jodie, which has been so popular that they’ve had to put some people on a waiting list. - Victoria Dock Church have been able to welcome a couple of new families with children to their Sunday services - St Columba Sunday school restarted in September with a team of leaders led by Helen Griffith-Jones. It has been reduced to 2 groups from 3 because of a shortage of leaders and helpers. - Lois Thomas continues as Families Outreach Worker at St Columba; from August 2021 she has been working part-time for the church. After Easter, she started a youth group for years 6 and above, which has 6-8 young people coming for Bible teaching, prayer and activities. - Thursday Night Thing at St Columba’s restarted in September, with 8-10 families coming each week. It is a community of families helping each other to follow Jesus by listening to God together, serving together, praying together and eating KFC (Keith’s fantastic cooking!) - Lois and her team got Starting Blocks playgroup going again after the summer on Tuesday mornings, and Lois has also run a smaller group on Thursday mornings to support mums with non-mobile babies. One family from this group have joined Thursday Night Thing, and another have started coming to church as part of getting their baby baptised. - Martyn and Dave have been able to reconnect with schools to do assemblies in person and online _Dave Griffith-Jones_ _Lois Thomas (St C)_ **10 |** P a g e **THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF DRYPOOL** ## **ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ## **How are we doing overall?** ## **Worship and Prayer** The Churches are keen to offer a range of services each month which vary according to the needs of our various communities. Normally each church has regular services that varies between traditional liturgy and more non-liturgical forms such as Cafe Church. Despite the pandemic each Church has continued to meet physically as much as possible. The Parish uses online forms of contact and worship. Dave, Margaret and Martyn posting material that reaches some unexpected places! ## **Church Attendance & Other Statistics (this excludes any measure of online activities)** Given the situation some statistics were not reported! |||St. Columba's|St. Columba's|St. Columba's|St. John's|St. John's|St. John's|Victoria Dock|Victoria Dock|Victoria Dock|Total|Total|Total| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |||Y21|Y20|Y19|Y21|Y20|Y19|Y21|Y20|Y19|Y21|Y20|Y19| |Electoral Roll||89|89|87|29|28|24|30|29|30|148|146|141| ||||||||||||||| |WorshippingCommunity|Age 0-10|22|23|25|33|16|26|7|0|0|62|39|51| ||Age 11-17|9|9|5|2|6|12|0|0|0|11|15|17| ||Age 18-69|58|56|59|29|27|37|20|18|23|107|101|119| ||Age 70+|38|39|35|3|1|7|9|14|7|50|54|49| ||Total|127|127|124|67|50|82|36|32|30|230|209|236| ||||||||||||||| |Worshippers at home||10|||||||||10||| ||||||||||||||| |Total Joiningthisyear||20||18|31||10|12||4|63||32| |Total Leavingthisyear||18||17|2||1|0||1|20||19| ||||||||||||||| |Easter Day|Communicants|50||78|11||24|13||30|74|0|132| ||Attendance|72||120|15||34|13||31|100|0|185| ||||||||||||||| |Christmas(Eve/Day)|Communicants|54|53|70|11|14|18|0|0|20|65|67|108| ||Attendance|73|64|95|31|14|33|43|0|90|147|78|218| ||||||||||||||| |Special Services duringAdvent|General|268|255|376|0|36|180|0|0|70|268|291|626| ||||||||||||||| |Baptisms|under 1yr|3|1|7|0|0|3|0|0|0|3|1|10| ||Age 1-10|4|0|0|2|0|0|0|0|0|6|0|0| ||Age 11-17|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0| ||Age 18+|0|3|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|3|0| |Thanksgivings|under 1yr|4|1|8|0|0|0|0|0|0|4|1|8| ||Age 1+|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0| ||||||||||||||| |Weddings||1|3|3|0|1|2|0|0|0|1|4|5| |Blessings(after civil marriage)||0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0| ||||||||||||||| |Funerals(in Church)||2

Overall unrestricted funds decreased by nearly £9K in the year mainly due to an upgrade to the amplification at St Columba’s, work in the Church hall and the house in Garden Village. The restricted funds decreased by approx. £5K as accumulated grant money was expended. As in 2020 the pandemic has had a significant effect on finances. The Church Councils are well aware of the need to maintain (and increase) giving levels as well as other forms of income. The following charts show the levels of such direct giving for the years 2019 to 2021 (excluding Gift Aid refunds): **----- Start of picture text -----**

Towards the end of 2021 St Columba’s started to implement the Parish Giving Scheme in tandem with a giving review and it is hoped this will enable them to recover ‘lost ground’. 2021 was the eighth year of the Diocesan Freewill Offering System. Offers had been made by the 3 Churches and these contributions primarily supported paid ministry to be provided. Drypool again met its pledges in full. Despite the pandemic the amounts pledged and paid continued to increase over the last three years: **----- Start of picture text -----**

**12 |** P a g e **THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF DRYPOOL** ## **ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ## _**Our Reserves Policy**_ The PCC maintains a small amount of reserves, as DCCs are responsible for most of the receipts and payments made in the parish on a day-to-day basis. Given that Victoria Dock DCC rent accommodation most of the current risk relating to possible unexpected maintenance falls to St. Columba’s and St John’s DCCs. Whilst their unrestricted funds vary considerably during the year, restricted or designated reserves are maintained relating to possible fabric maintenance by St Columba’s. It is policy to invest generally in the Central Board of Finance’s funds, although in some cases smaller funds have been invested elsewhere. Overall within the whole parish and each Church the total unrestricted fund balances should cover up to 6 months of intended unrestricted expenditure which currently is the case. ## _**Safeguarding**_ The Church of England affirms the ‘Whole Church’ approach to safeguarding. This approach encompasses a commitment to consistent policy and practice across all Church bodies, Church Officers and that everyone associated with the Church, who comes into contact with children, young people and adults, has a role to play. The PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 to have due regard to the House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and adults at risk. No Serious Incident occurred during the year that should have been reported to the Charity Commissioners. Consideration is given and arranged as necessary for appropriate training with the required DBS checks and confidential declarations completed. Each Church has an appointed Safeguarding Representative (contact details on Parish Website): - St Columba Margaret Liversedge - St John Melanie Whetton - Victoria Dock Marlene Harrison In addition, Kathryn Platten acts as Safeguarding Administrator **13 |** P a g e **THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF DRYPOOL** ## **ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ## **The Church in the City** **Report on the Deanery Synod** _The Hull Deanery comprises all the parishes in the City of Hull together with the parishes of Cottingham, Willerby, Kirkella, Anlaby, Hessle, Ferriby, Swanland, Wawne and Bilton. Newland parish also includes the village of Dunswell._ _Approximately one quarter of the Diocesan population lives within its boundaries._ The Synod consists of members of all the licensed clergy/lay workers and elected lay representatives of the churches.

We had a presentation on the Mustard Seed initiative from Heather Black and then two meetings commencing the consultation on “Living Christ’s Story” aided by the Bishop. In the second half of 2021 we had physical meetings at Newland with an interview of long standing member Stella Vernon, heard from several newer vicars on coming into parishes during the pandemic followed by one at Willerby with a very useful set of presentations on “Contemporary Forms of Giving” one of which was Dave speaking about implementation the Parish Giving Scheme!

Drypool is privileged to provide 2 of them. _Richard Liversedge_ **14 |** P a g e **THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF DRYPOOL** ## **ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ## _**Our Linked Bodies**_ ## **(Connected Charities and Not for Profit Companies)** The _**St Andrew’s Educational Foundation**_ is a non-registered excepted charity (ref. 4035148) whose trustees are appointed by the PCC and it exists to - further the religious and other charitable work of the Church of England in the Ecclesiastical Parish of Drypool; - promote the education, including religious instruction, in accordance with the doctrines of the Church of England of persons’ resident in the parish and: - the whole or any part of the property of the charity may be applied in or towards providing land and buildings for use for the purposes of the charity.
