RECTOR'S REVIEW OF THE YEAR
Looking back at my diary, I see I began the year with Covid! Such setbacks are an important reminder that the ministry here doesn’t depend on me, but on God. A good thing to be reminded of at the start of a New Year. And 2023 was a very good year!
We spent the Winter term in Chapters 6 to 9 of Luke, picking up where we had left off last winter and culminating with that great pronouncement of the Father: “This is my Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to Him”. Time in the Gospels with Jesus is ever encouraging.
The Eggstravganza for young children and families held in the church on Easter Saturday proved a huge success. There were also numerous appreciative comments about weekly Treasure Tots on Tuesday mornings. The town genuinely appreciates all we do to reach out – so encouraging to hear such positive feedback!

RECTOR'S REVIEW OF THE YEAR (continued)
After Easter we returned to 1 Corinthians covering Chapters 7 to 11. Let’s be honest, it was a little hard going! That said, it was important we cover the theology to be properly informed as we return to the remaining Chapters to think about our life together as a church family after Easter this year.
Revd Chris Jervis blessed all who made it on The Benefice weekend away with encouraging ‘Gems from John.’ Chris’s experience and warmth ministered to our hearts and was deeply appreciated.
St Paul’s Church of England Junior School was inspected by Ofsted in early October and achieved ‘Good with some Outstanding aspects’ – a fantastic achievement! Congratulation to them and thanks to all who serve there as governors, several from the St Peter and St Paul’s church family.
October saw a valiant team take the first of many "Open The Book" assemblies into St Paul’s School. These dramatic Bible stories captivate the children as they share God’s Word in a lively and memorable way.
Building on the success of previous years, we welcomed children from St Paul’s into the church building for an Advent Trail retelling the Christmas Story through encounters with Bible characters. Again, amid the fun, the children had the opportunity to think more deeply about how God showed us His love by sending His Son into the
ld The beginning of Advent also saw the Christmas Fayre in the church – another great opportunity to engage with the community. Our Advent series ‘In light of His coming’ from Matthew Chapters 24 and 25 looked at how Jesus brings us Peace, Joy and Love.
Between the Pub Carols (fronted by Chris Lord) in Bar 501 to the two Nativity Services (the 4:00 pm led by Rachel Lord and the 6:00 pm by Chris Lord), Midnight Communion and Christmas Morning we welcomed and witnessed to some 800 people. Many churches across the nation commented how Christmas 2023 felt like the first ‘normal’ Christmas since the disruption of Covid, a sentiment shared here in St Peter and St Paul’s.
Also encouraging is the Evening Communion Service. Having started this more traditional evening service on the third Sunday of the month back in Autumn 2022, it is now stable with a faithful congregation. To make this a distinct service, it follows the lectionary. During 2023, we started using the Book of Common Prayer which the congregation appreciate. I see this as having the potential to grow, become more frequent and become a very important service in the Parish.
More than anything, the most encouraging aspect of 2023 has been the way the morning service feels more settled, relaxed and joyful. It is attracting new members and experiencing growth.
In the Spring of 2023, I felt prompted by the Lord to commit to running evangelistic events each term. Beginning in the Autumn, we ran "The Bible Course" with 6 guests interested in discovering how the Bible fits together to tell one big story of God’s love for us in Jesus. This was paralleled by a new ‘pathway’ offered principally to mums of "Treasure Tots" children. This new women’s group, which offers a creche, ran the "Hope Explored" course. These missional activities have continued into 2024 with "Alpha" and "The Start Course".
As I look back, I am incredibly encouraged and thankful for all that the Lord is doing here in Shepton Mallet through me and you as together we live for Him.
For His glory,
Jonathan

Trustees Annual Report (continued)
Year ended 31st December 2023
FINANCE REPORT
Income
Our total income for the year was £234,442 representing a fantastic increase of 43% on 2022. Our General income decreased by £1,782. Designated funds benefitted from a total of £27,242 and restricted funds another £69,219, part of which was to fund improvements to our childrens and familes area. Planned Giving, Cash Collections and Ad Hoc Donations to the General fund were were 2% higher. Our income from Weddings & Funerals income decreased by 43%. There was a 44% decrease in income from Fundraising.
Expenditure
Our total expenditure of £178,721 represents an increase of 10% on last year. The main General fund increases that contributed to this were utility bills (up another £4,387, almost £10k over 2 years) and we were able to donate £4,130 more to charitable causes. These were off-set by a significant reduction in Children’s and Youthwork (down £8,970 due to Rachel's maternity leave) and in maintenance expenses (£2,042 lower).
The figures for expenditure above do not include £9,317 spent repairing the clock and £13,619 for our Discipleship lead role which is now fully funded for the 3 year period.
Fund values
In addition to the income and expenditure movements outlined above the value of the PCC’s investments fell by £417 over the year.
As a result of the shortfall in income and saving in expenditure versus Budget, the transfer of prior year income to the designated fund and slight decrease in investments the value of the General fund decreased by £14,349 to £56,211. However, the PCC’s total funds increased by £55,305 to £200,979 due to the increases of £17,925 and £51,729 in the designated and restricted funds respectively. In total £178,837 is available as cash and investments. £76,296 of that being unrestricted.
Reserves
The PCC is required to formulate and disclose its policy on “reserves”, i.e. the level of funds which are freely available at any time. The PCC has adopted a policy to maintain reserves of £41,500 which is based upon 3 months of average projected general expenditure to cover variability in the timing of outgoings and a £5,000 lump sum to cover unforeseen short term building maintenance needs. The PCC defines reserves as the total value of its unrestricted funds less Tangible fixed assets.
Comments
Whilst the overall increase in funds during 2023 was very encouraging, costs continue to rise and the PCC wants to continue to fund current activities and to do more wherever possible.
The PCC will move its savings into an alternative account in the hope of seeing improved returns. We will continue to seek to grow our income both through activities, donations and through fundraising events.

Main charities supported
Tearfund: As a Christian charity, Tearfund believes that everyone has an amazing God-given potential to create change. They show people around the world how to unlock these gifts and put them to use escaping poverty. Many of their partners in this work are local churches, who discover how to offer their communities material and spiritual hope.

It’s principal activities are: educating orphaned and impoverished children, eliminating the foul scourge of FGM, a sustainable micro finance scheme for women, daily feeding scheme at 7 local primary schools, caring for over 120 disabled children & their families and the provision of a water supply & irrigation.
Windsor Hill Wood is a woodland shelter, a place of radical hospitality, manual labour and prayer. They aim to create a loving environment for people going through tough or uncertain times and offering them the chance to rediscover peace, silence and acceptance amidst the beauty and simplicity of the woods.
