Trustees’ Report 2021
Reflecting on 2021 – Revd Mike (Rector)
Before we delve into the data and financials of 2021, I’d like to ask you to take some time to pause, reflect and give thanks.
2021 was a difficult year in church life just as it was in the country generally. It began with another Lockdown as the Delta variant took hold in the country. To keep everyone as safe as possible, I took the decision to close our churches from the 1st Sunday of January and we remained closed for public worship (along with many other churches) until 21 March. During this time Rev Paul & I (along with Bob on the sound desk) kept the online worship going from church. In fact, since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020, we have had online worship each Sunday. I am grateful to the those who have assisted in making sure we could be open when it was safe to do so; those who opened & cleaned the church for Private Prayer times, those who cleaned the churches following Sunday Worship, Funeral & Baptisms, those who did extra practical things to ensure the buildings could open safely. I would also like to thank our Wardens, Joy & Sue, who have been so supportive through out all of 2021. Also a special mention for Bob Squirrell & Rev Paul who, along with myself, spent many hours (and head scratching) to produce smooth, simultaneous, in church, online & telephone worship which has made a huge difference to isolated people.
However, it was the latter part of 2021 that dealt the severest blow to our church family when Revd Frank Powell and Revd Ken Sambrook passed away within 5 weeks of each other. The grief within the church family was palpable and it was particularly challenging time for myself.
As we reflect on 2021 we give thanks for Frank & Ken, for their ministry among us that touched so many lives, for their faith, for their wisdom, for their humour and for their service to God and our churches stretching back over so many years. ‘ Well done, true and faithful servants ’, Matthew 25:21. May they Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory!
The 26 December 2021 marked the final service at St Mary’s & St Luke’s for Revd
Malcolm Shaw who decided it was time to ‘ fully’ retire and not renew his annual license from the Bishop. I’m sure you would join me in thanking Malcolm for his ministry within the parish, for sharing his faith with us, for his stories and his fellowship. We wish him and Sandy the best for the future.
For me personally this year, 2022, has been a difficult year. I have suffered with my mental health and in particular with stress and anxiety. By the time you read this I may or may not be back, however, I would like to thank you for the prayers, cards and kindness I have received from the congregation over the past few months, it has really helped. I look forward to seeing you and worshipping with you again soon. God Bless.
Revd Mike – 20 April 2022
Trustees’ Report 2022: Page TR2 (Version 1 – 210422)
Our Aims and Purposes
St Mary's & St Luke's Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, the Reverend Mike Turnbull, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of St Mary's Church, Churchyard and Church Hall Wistaston, and St Luke's Church Willaston.
Objectives and Activities
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at both churches. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.
When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try to enable people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:
-
Worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust
-
Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish.
-
Missionary and outreach work.
To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain the fabric of all the buildings mentioned above.
Safeguarding
We understand safeguarding to be an integral part of the life and ministry of our Church. The care and protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults visiting and participating in Church activities is important to us, everyone who participates in the life of the church has a role to play in promoting a safer church for all. All our Safeguarding policies and documents can be found here:
www.stmaryswistaston.org.uk/safeguarding.html
In March 2019 the PCC adopted the House of Bishops’ National Safeguarding Policy & Practice guidance which has now been formally adopted by the Diocese and throughout the Church of England. You can find out more about the national policies and procedures at www.churchofengland.org/safeguarding . If you have any safeguarding concerns or issues of a safeguarding matter then you can find useful contact information at www.chester.anglican.org/social-responsibility/safeguarding .
Trustees’ Report 2022: Page TR3 (Version 1 – 210422)
The PCC have appointed Joy Chaplow as our Parish Safeguarding Officer. You can find our Safeguarding Policy on the Safeguarding Page of our website – see above. The Parish Safeguarding Handbook, Promoting a Safer Church, can be accessed online here: bit.ly/psh2019 or we have copies in the Church Office, Rector’s Vestry and the Vestry at St Luke’s. Our own website has details of Safeguarding Contacts and our policies.
Worship and Prayer
The PCC is keen to offer a range of services during the week and over the course of the year that our community may find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. We have a range of services throughout the month, including Holy Communion, All Age Worship & Baptism services and a midweek BCP Holy Communion. There is Morning Prayer on a Monday, Tuesday & Thursday (during 2021 this was held on Zoom) and our Sunday Worship provides opportunities for all ages to worship including those in our Junior Church. Our worship music is a mixture of traditional and contemporary with a mix of the organ, music group (which is yet to reform following the pandemic) and video hymns.
All are welcome to attend our regular services and as well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. Through baptism we thank God for the gift of life, in marriage public vows are exchanged with God’s blessing and through funeral services friends and family express their grief and give thanks for the life which is now complete in this world and to commend the person into God's keeping. In 2021 we celebrated 15 Baptisms (these restarted in August following the pandemic), 3 Weddings and conducted 28 Funerals in church and 18 at the Crematorium.
Since the pandemic began we have livestreamed all our Sunday Services and many of our special services including Easter, Christmas, Commemoration and funerals upon request. This was made possible through individual donations given to purchase a new computer and cameras. Each Sunday during 2021 we would have an average of around 28 online. It’s worth pointing out that this could be multiple people watching for each of the 30.
The Church of England uses October as a ‘usual’ month to collect attendance data. The figures for 2021 were affected by the pandemic, in October 2021 we had a usual Sunday attendance of 42.
Deanery Synod
Our current members of Deanery Synod are: Howard Barker, Simon Bartholomew, John Molloy, Revd Paul North & Revd Mike Turnbull. Revd Ken Sambrook had been a member this year until his death. Our members of the Deanery Synod provide the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church. Please see the included report for the activities of the Synod this year.
Trustees’ Report 2022: Page TR4 (Version 1 – 210422)
Our Vision Statement
Our vision is to be a welcoming, Christ-centred church, where everyone is valued and nurtured, actively sharing the joy of Christ in our communities.
We aim to achieve this by:
-
Looking to the Future - ensuring we encourage, support, nurture and help our young people so they can pray together, worship together, learn together, live out their faith together, grow in faith together.
-
Working with and in our Local Community - serving our community and showing God's love through our actions.
-
Developing Discipleship - praying together, worshipping together, learning together, living out our faith together, growing in faith together.
Parish Magazine
The magazine returned to print in March 2021 and was in the form of a 1[st] Sunday supplement of the Weekly Sheet. However, due to the lack of articles and news submitted, the last edition was January 2022. All news and articles given via the Church Office are now included on the Weekly Sheet and the Blog (the same articles on both). This keeps things more up to date and relevant. The PCC will consider the future of the magazine during 2022.
Social Media
We have a presence on Social Media as follows: stmaryswistaston.org.uk facebook.com/stmaryandstluke :: youtube.com/StMarysWistaston1:: Twitter: @maryandluke :: Instagram: @stmarywistaston. Nearly all enquiries for Weddings & Baptisms come via the Website. The Facebook page has 640 followers, YouTube 102, Twitter 295 and Instagram 91. Facebook & Twitter are popular for general enquiries. Bob Squirrell & Mike Turnbull look after the website & Mike Turnbull manages the Facebook, YouTube, Twitter & Instagram accounts. If you are on Social Media please Like or Follow us and share what we do - it’s an effective way to share what we do.
Outward Giving
As a church the PCC have agreed for many years to give away 10% of our planned and plate giving to various Charities each year. In 2021 we gave away £4,640 and it was given to: Church Missionary Society, Crosslinks, Tear Fund, USPG, The Bible Society, The Children’s Society, The Church Army, CPAS, Clergy Pensions, St Luke’s Healthcare for the Clergy, Chester Clergy Family Trust, Crewe Christian Concern, The YMCA Crewe, Christians Against Poverty, Nantwich Food Bank & St Paul’s Pantry. These Charities were chosen in 2019 and will be reviewed by the PCC in 2023. Individual amounts are available from the Treasurer on request.
Trustees’ Report 2022: Page TR5 (Version 1 – 210422)
Ecumenical Relationships
The church is a member of Churches Together in Crewe and we have been involved, where possible, with meetings, services and events through the year.
Reserves Policy
It is PCC's policy to maintain a balance on funds (if possible), which equates to at least three months unrestricted payments, equivalent to £35,000 (based on last year's expenditure) to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time and to cover liabilities. The PCC considered our finances at our March 2022 meeting and were confident that we could meet our liabilities as they fall due.
Volunteers
We would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our church the lively and vibrant community it is – we really couldn’t do it without you!! In particular, we want to mention our churchwardens Joy Chaplow & Sue Squirrell who have worked tirelessly on our behalf and to Diane Edge-Robinson who has helped us all to understand the church’s accounts and its finances.
Structure, governance and management
The PCC is a charity registered with the Charity Commission; Registered Charity number 1130599. The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At St Mary's & St Luke's the membership of the PCC consists of the Rector, Associate Priest, Churchwardens, the Reader, Pastoral Worker, Deanery Synod Members, there is also the opportunity for 12 members to be elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who attend our services / members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and are then eligible to stand for election to the PCC after a 6 month period.
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. Due to the pandemic, the PCC only met twice in person during the year – all other business was conducted by email.

Financial (Treasurer’s) Report
I look back at my first 12 months in the role of Treasurer. First and foremost, I have to thank Daphne Gregory for taking on the task of training me in such difficult and challenging circumstances, when we could not get together or have access to each other’s screen.
High level overview from the financial report 2021:
• Our income last year was £112,378.40 and our expenditure was £140,113.20, overspent in the books by £27,734.80. However as per note 1 on the accounts £46,631.56 of the expenditure was the ‘loan/liability’ total of the deviation from our Parish Share payments for 2020 and 2021.
• Our Parish Share payment to the diocese was £39,882.20 (£32,996.20 deviation for 2021). Note the report shows £86,513.76 against 1910 however this includes the raising of the ‘loan/liability’ for both 2021 and 2020, as per above.
• Utilities were all affected by the ups and downs of use during Covid and the way in which data was communicated to the supplier. I would like to say we will get a better view next year but this will be affected by the large increases that have already been predicted.
• Upkeep of Church Services is up on 2020, which may be a result of the recommencement of services and additional equipment needed for on-line connection.
Trustees’ Report 2022: Page TR9 (Version 1 – 210422)
-
Cleaning is up on last year as the Hall and St Luke’s reopen for hire.
-
Generally all giving us up on last year, with a few exceptions. I believe that giving
through the bank should be promoted as one of the best ways of giving, due to little third-party input, no collection fee and it gives us a regular income, which helps forecasting.
- Once again, a fabulous total on the Fetes and Sales, which is all down to Mike and Chris Horne and Joan Cadman; to be clear they ask for no contribution towards ingredients, jars, packaging etc. This was our biggest fund-raising event in 2021 due to ongoing Covid restrictions.
• Gift Aid recoverable tax was slightly down on the previous year. Communication between the Giver and the Church during the pandemic has been more challenging.
-
Letting income totalled £8562.30 from the Church Hall and £1984.50 from St Luke’s. Polly is working hard to maximise the potential.
-
The upkeep of our churchyard is an ongoing challenge, and we are grateful for grants to help with this. In 2021 we received £3000 from Wistaston Parish Council and £300 from Rope Parish Council.
-
Furlough Grants continued for a period of time through 2021.
Finally from me, a special thanks goes to the approvers who I constantly pester for their
‘tick’ on payments within the banking system, your patience is very much appreciated.
Diane-Heather Edge-Robinson
Treasurer, St Mary’s Wistaston PCC
Parochial Church Council – Secretary’s Report
In the first half of the year, the PCC continued to conduct its business by email, in the ongoing Covid situation. Most of this related, inevitably, to the continuing impact of the pandemic on our worship services and our finances, as well as Church Hall lettings.
In February, our long-serving treasurer indicated that she wished to step down. In an email, Revd Mike expressed the PCC’s thanks for her dedicated service:
“We are all deeply indebted to Daphne for the fantastic work she’s done over many years and not least in transitioning the accounts to the new software in 2020”
Also that month, we agreed proposals for the reopening of our churches, and set a date for our APCM, with plans to conduct this as an online meeting.
Trustees’ Report 2022: Page TR10 (Version 1 – 210422)
In May, the APCM duly took place, with only Revds Mike and Paul in church, together with the Wardens. Unusually, the wardens were sworn in at St Mary’s, there being no Archdeacon’s Visitations taking place this year.
Following the APCM elections, the PCC welcomed Diane Edge-Robinson as our new treasurer, and also Frances Latham as a new PCC member – again, inevitably, by email!
In September, were finally able to organize a formal meeting of the PCC. This took place physically in church, but with some members “attending” virtually via the internet. By this time both churches were fully open, but with restrictions in place.
A regular item on our agenda is “Our Worship: looking back and looking ahead”: on this occasion, Revd Mike observed that it was “Good to have some live music back in church with Ian playing the organ again.” He also expressed his thanks “to everyone who has made worship possible in church and also online."
The final meeting of the year, in November, was tinged with sadness, as we noted the absence of one or our longest-standing members, Revd Ken Sambrook. Tribute was paid to his wise counsel and vast experience, which are sorely missed. We remembered, too, the ministry of Revd Frank Powell, also recently departed.
Going forward in 2022, it is inevitable that the PCC, and by extension, the whole church family, will face some challenges on the financial front; but we can take encouragement from the fact that a continuing increase of attendance in person at our services promises some return to normality, with the prospect of planning social events and a renewal of shared fellowship.
David Illing 12.04.2022
Deanery Synod Report
The Synod met three times during 2021: 23 February (on Zoom), 17 June (St Mary’s, Nantwich) and 8 November (St Chad’s, Wybunbury). Along with worship and the usual business of Synod the following items were discussed: Worship during Lockdown, Livestreaming Services & Living in Love and Faith. There were also elections to Diocesan Synod and Revd Mike was elected to it.
Electoral Roll
After a revision of the Electoral Roll which was ‘closed off’ on 17th April 2022 in preparation of the 2022 Annual Parochial Church Meeting, the figures stood at: Total: 176, of which 127 are resident and 49 are non-resident. This compares with figures at the
