St. James the Apostle Annual Report for the 2023 Accounts

A review of 2023 at St James’ and looking ahead:

2023 seemed to me to start with a good degree of uncertainty, with a number of areas of church life in flux, and as my 2022 report stated, ‘challenging, but… filled with hope’. Twelve months on I am amazed at how different things look and feel.

As always, there are so many people who deserve thanks for their service to St James’ and I thank you all for what you bring. I do want to especially single out Steve Palmer who has given a huge amount of �me as a churchwarden, typically devo�ng one or two days of his week to serve St James’. The benefit to me personally, and to St James’ as a whole, has been huge.

There are so many things that I want to express my thanks for, but space prevents me from giving more than the headlines. These include:

The most remarkable event of the year occurred when three visitors joined us to worship on a Sunday morning in September. Led by a Nigerian Pentecostal Pastor, they revealed that they were a prophe�c intercession team in London who had come to Selby in response to a direct call from God to bless the town, because He said He was bringing revival to Selby! Un�l they had received this clear word of prophecy, none of them had heard of Selby and had to look us up on Google! They made clear that they had no great desire to leave London to spend a weekend praying for an unknown town in Yorkshire, but the Lord had been insistent. They also said that they had come with no inten�on to a�end any churches, but that on Sunday morning the Lord had told them to come to St James’.

Their visit, and return visit some�me later, was enormously encouraging and an inspira�on to press in to what God is doing. The arrival of many new worshippers seems to be a sign of the early fruit of this prophecy.

Edge

As Richard states in his Edge report below, Edge worship is currently suspended while the team seek the Lord’s direc�on for what is right for the Flaxley Road community in this strange post-Pandemic world. The core team has faithfully been ministering to the community of the estate since soon a�er Richard and Kath’s arrival in 2006, and since then well over a thousand people on the estate have been impacted by Edge’s ministry. Yet it has o�en been challenging and dispiri�ng work, with few coming to a living faith in Jesus.

It was St James’ PCC who developed the original vision for the ‘Edge Project’ as it was ini�ally, and church members who gave financially to launch a Fresh Expression on the Flaxley Road estate in partnership with

St. James the Apostle Annual Report for the 2023 Accounts

Church Army. It is therefore important that St James’ members con�nue to ac�vely support the small Edge team in prayer, word and ac�on, sharing some of the workload. This is a ministry that belongs to us all, and with this in view, there will be a week of focused prayer and vision for the way ahead for Edge in the early summer, and I would ask every St James’ member to play a part in this.

Tensions within the Church of England

Last year, I wrote about tensions within the na�onal Anglican Church. While the Church of England has always been a ‘broad church’, increasing divisions risk tearing it in two. These divisions are finding expression in the area of sexuality, but sadly they are indica�ve of a wider disagreement over what lies at the core of the gospel message. This is also affec�ng the Church of England’s rela�onships with other Anglican churches. The Archbishops of the Global South Fellowship of Anglican Churches - which represents most Anglicans worldwide - have stated that their provinces are now in ‘ impaired communion ’ with the Church of England, and they no longer recognise the Archbishop of Canterbury as the leader of the global communion. How this will finally be resolved remains unclear, but it may eventually result in the crea�on of two dis�nct streams under the umbrella of the Church of England.

St James’ – Looking Ahead

Whilst it is wonderful to see more people on Sunday mornings, it is essen�al to remember that the Lord is more interested in our faithfulness and spiritual growth. We need to increase our commitment to praying together, and stay true to the call to be disciples submi�ed to the Lord.

Over the next few months, we will be offering more opportuni�es to engage in shared prayer, focusing on different styles of prayer, recognising that the tradi�onal style of prayer mee�ng does not suit everyone. There are also plans to go out into the Parish more and pray together beyond the walls of the church. This will be the focus of our Thy Kingdom Come ini�a�ve in May.

We also want to increase the number of Cell groups, to strengthen our community life in keeping with our Church Vision, and to help church members grow together.

I am excited about all that the Lord is doing in St James’ at this �me, and the prophecies that promise more. Yet I also know that for God to do more through us as a church, we need to prepare ourselves for all that He wants to do in and through us, by seeking to become a holier, deeper and more prayerful community of disciples in the season ahead.

Thank you for your partnership in the gospel.

Jason Reid

‘I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrec�on and par�cipa�on in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, a�aining to the resurrec�on from the dead. Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forge�ng what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.’ Philippians 3:10-14

Edge Community Report

School

Weekly Bible based assemblies con�nue to witness to children, along with Harvest and Christmas services in church.

Amy became a Governor early in the year, and this has further strengthened the good rela�onship with the school.

Prayer Spaces in school ran for a week in December. Good numbers of children came twice each day, with queues to enter; some engaged with the ac�vi�es more on a surface level, whilst others used the �me to write prayers, read the Bibles or ask ques�ons of faith. The school is keen to repeat the event.

Other ac�vi�es

GAB women’s exploring faith and life group has had solid a�endance throughout the year, with a growing sense of community and commitment, and Friday Family Fun con�nued its partnership with Squiggles and Wiggles; this mainly social �me with occasional Chris�an content provides a poten�al stepping stone for people into the community of faith.

We had a stall at the Town Fun Day where we ran games and cra� ac�vi�es and connected with local families.

Richard preached in Sowerby, Skipwith and Poppleton – which helps bring financial and prayer support for Edge Community.

Prac�cal and Pastoral Support

As previously, Food bank vouchers or parcels were provided to families then and through the year. The Edge Core Team provide huge amounts of pastoral support to families and individuals. Richard advocates for others e.g. with SDC over housing issues, and directs people to other agencies for help.

Selby Big Local

Richard con�nues as Chair of this Residents’ Partnership, and as ‘vision holder’ for the ‘Our Space’ Community Hub. Building work has been slow, delaying the start of this project and the poten�al ac�vi�es and ministries within it. In 2024 there will be opportuni�es for members of St James to get to know people within the community and discover how to share the love and good news of Jesus.

In September Richard was made an Honorary Lay Canon of York Minster, a recogni�on of the ministry that so many have been a part of over 17 years.

Sunday Church

Similarly to 2022, 42 adults and 40 children a�ended, with an average of 14 per week (18 for Messy Church). This is roughly half 2019, pre-Covid. The Core Team – Richard, Kath, Mark and Amy - con�nued to prayerfully reflect on God’s leading in how to take this worshipping community forward into further growth. We ended the year with the decision to pause pu�ng on a Sunday worship service, and in 2024 to focus more on being as a community, mee�ng in Richard & Kath’s home or a�ending St James Audus Street; to seek God’s direc�on and a fresh empowering by the Spirit. The Edge Community leadership team consists of employees Richard and Amy and just two volunteers, Kath Cooke and Mark Foster. We hope that in the year ahead we will see more involvement from St James Audus Street members to sustain and grow this valuable ministry of evangelism, church plan�ng and building Christ’s kingdom in the Flaxley Road community.

Early Years and Young Families Outreach

In November 2023 I started in my role as Early Years and Young Families Outreach Worker, working 16 hours per week. This role is jointly funded by St James’ PCC and by the Diocese of York ‘Mul�ply’ programme.

My ini�al focus has been to establish a new baby and toddler group, Lighthouse, which incorporates toddler worship, alongside building rela�onships with families. I am very grateful to Denise Robinson, Anita Dart, Denise Thomson, Kathryn Patrick and Jason for their �me and dedica�on to Lighthouse and for their hospitality and care for the families who a�end.

I have also been working with Amy and Edge helping to run Friday Family Fun and the Prayer Bus. I am also involved with Kaboom, helping to plan and lead sessions.

I am excited to see where God will lead us in this ministry to young families as we start to create a sense of community and find ways for children and parents to encounter Jesus.

Safeguarding Report

Policies and Procedures

St James’ PCC are commi�ed to the safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults and to suppor�ng those who have been vic�ms of abuse as well as those who may present a risk to others. The PCC has complied with its duty to have ‘due regard’ to the House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. Safeguarding con�nues to be a standing item on the agenda of PCC mee�ngs.

A new Parish Safeguarding Officer was assigned in March 2024. Safeguarding team mee�ngs are held bi-monthly to oversee safeguarding issues.

The most recent safeguarding policy and procedure for dealing with safeguarding allega�ons or concerns was updated in March 2024. This will be sent to all new users of the church premises. The recruitment of ex-offenders policy and known offenders compliance have been renewed and are due to be approved by the PCC.

A check was made to ensure St James is complying with CofE rules regarding reten�on of records. The church is in compliance.

Safer Recruitment and Training

We con�nue to carry out the required safeguarding checks on everyone who leads or helps with ac�vi�es for children and young people, along with members of the PCC.

All who lead or help with ac�vi�es for children and all PCC members are required to complete training in Basic Awareness and Founda�on Safeguarding and if relevant the training in Domes�c Abuse. Thank you to those who have completed the training needed and to those who will be comple�ng their training in the near future. Some training remains outstanding. DBS checks are now renewed every three years.

Safeguarding Dashboard

The Church of England uses an online tool, the Parish Dashboard, which helps parishes keep track of safeguarding in order to take an audit of policy and procedure in the parish. Following the audit an ac�on plan can be produced. The PSO has been using the Dashboard tool to ensure St James is up to date and in compliance. The Dashboard uses a percentage to indicate where the church is in regard to safeguarding prac�ces. St James is presently at 94%, the plan of ac�on is to bring this up to 100% in the next few months.

Safeguarding Concerns and Incidents

No safeguarding concerns have been raised during the year. Although advice and support was sought following one allega�on of criminal ac�vity in the Parish. However, we need to maintain our vigilance to ensure the protec�on and well-being of everyone in our community.

To conclude I would like to take this opportunity to thank the community of St James for their support and welcome to me in the role of Parish Safeguarding Officer. I am looking forward to serving the church in this way over the next year.

FINANCE REPORT

Summary of Receipts and Payments

These accounts show a surplus of receipts over payments of £4,808 in the year with a surplus on PCC investments of £4,087 , giving an overall surplus of £8,895.

Total receipts of £127,353 were a decrease of £78,959 on the previous year which was largely due to the Back to Life appeal.

Total payments of £167,754 were an increase of £19,454 on the previous year.

Summary of Balance Sheet as at 31st December 2023

PCC assets, which are held as cash, bank balances and investments, were £183,190 and therefore £42,843 lower than at the previous year-end.

These assets consist of Unrestricted Reserves, free for the PCC to spend at its discre�on (including Designated Reserves) and a number of Restricted Funds, where expenditure is limited to specific purposes. These are detailed below and at Note 6.

The Edge Community fund (see Note 5) totals £30,253 an increase of £5,023 compared with the previous year. A late request for unpaid invoices totalling £6400 for the Church Army (payment made in 2024) accounts for this discrepancy. The PCC con�nues to transfer £5000 each year to this fund. Receipts during the year amounted to £18,493 including significant non-local dona�ons, with payments amoun�ng to £18,261 .

The Mission and Charity fund is also a composite fund, comprising £926 rela�ng to the giving of Church members plus an annual alloca�on currently standing at 10% based on church funds for that year.

The Organ fund was created in 2014 to make provision for repairs to the church Organ. This fund stands at £1,805.

The Tower Room Roof fund was created during 2016 from a dona�on in order to finance repairs and improvements to the tower room roof area. The fund stands at £1,600.

The Fabric fund was created during 2016 from a dona�on in order to finance improvements to the fabric of the church. The fund stands at £1,250

Other notes

The accounts are produced on a cash basis, showing receipts and payments.

This report on the financial statements of the PCC for the year ended 31st December 2023 which are set out on pages 13 to 20, is in respect of an examina�on carried out in accordance with the Church Accoun�ng Regula�ons 2006 ("the Regula�ons") and Sec�on 43 of the Chari�es Act 1993 ( “the Act").

Respec�ve responsibili�es of the PCC

Members of the PCC are responsible for the prepara�on of the financial statements. The PCC considers that the audit requirements of the Regula�ons and Sec�on 43(2) of the Act do not apply. It is my responsibility to issue this report on those financial statements in accordance with the terms of the regula�ons.

Basis of this Report

My examina�on was carried out in accordance with the General Direc�ons given by the Charity Commission under Sec�on 43(7)b of the Act and to be found in the Church Guidance, 2006 edi�on, issued by the Finance Division of the Archbishops' Council. That examina�on includes a review of the accoun�ng records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explana�ons from you as Trustees concerning any such ma�ers. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently, I do not express an audit opinion.

Independent Examiner's Statement

In connec�on with my examina�on, no ma�er has come to my a�en�on:

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements a) to keep accoun�ng records in accordance with Sec�on 41 of the Act and

  2. b) to prepare financial statements which accord with the accoun�ng records and comply with the requirements of the Act and the Regula�ons have not been met or

  3. to which, in my opinion, a�en�on should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
