The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC is registered as an independent charity, registered number 1130896, in the name of “The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Heworth Christ Church, Diocese of York”. The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. A local agreement which has been applied is that the members of the PCC serve a 3 year maximum term of office after which they cannot stand for re-election within one year. All Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Church Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. Heworth Christ Church PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have regard to House of Bishop’s guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults). The full PCC has moved from meeting 6 times per year to ten times, from October 2021. ## **Objectives and Activities** The Parish of Heworth Christ Church has the following **Mission Statement:** At Christ Church our hope is to see The Kingdom of God grow in our communities through Worship, Prayer, Lifestyle and Outreach. ## **Vision Statement:** A Healthy Church - A Growing Church The Parochial Church Council has established an ongoing review of its services and the ways we seek to live out the aspirations of the above Mission Statement. The members of the PCC are aware of the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit in “The Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit” and have had regard to it in their administration of the PCC. ## **Achievements and Performance** ## **Church attendance** There are 105 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll. There are several people who are ineligible to be on the Electoral Roll (e.g. Clergy) and others who wish to remain part of the Church family although unable to worship here on a regular basis due to illness or other circumstances. Because of Covid restrictions the Church was closed or could offer only limited access for much of the year. Throughout the closure period services were streamed from the Vicarage via Facebook every Sunday morning, and most of our worshippers chose to follow this service. Around 30 households followed the service live each week, with larger numbers watching a recording at other times. A morning service in Church resumed in July, with appropriate infection control measures in place. The PCC is reviewing the possibility of holding an evening service. 3 HEWORTH CHRIST CHURCH | STOCKTON LANE | YORK | Y031 IJG Vicarfs Report 2021 2021 turned out to be the year when we all began to feel like life might get back to normal after a year of changes due co covid. Bur aciually. by the end of the year. not onW was covid scill around. but the new'omicron, variant had hit us, and thi5 was easier to catch that the delta version, w￿re told! And yel 51owty but Surely, the world did begin to pick up some of the thing5 that it had stopped doing. hospitality learned how to open, shops did likewise. and so did we as churches.we reopened with regular'in per50n' Sunday morning service5, though we were sure co rake covid safery recommendations on board. Mask5 were worn in church. singing was a little restricted. Communion services were reintroduced (albeic less frequentty that we had been previously used to). the length of the service shortened ¢0 around an hour and we stsrted'mingling, (many of us cautiously) a little more as we reintroduced tea and coffee following the service And it actualty began to feel like we were getting therel Our regular groups took individual decisions in terms of whecher, when and how they might reopen, but reopen they did. Many of u5 really appreciated being able to chat'like normal. after church. and I know that more pastornl visiting started to happen again. Each of our Small Group5 made their own deci5i0ns about reopening, and gently explored how they might function again.And then they did! Interesungty, though perhap5 not coo surprisingly, our regular numbers attending Sunday worship through 2021 dropped, and then appeared to plateau, at around 50. but it was so good to actually be able to gather together again.And just a5 interestingly, and perhaps more surprising, the number5 of people coming along to our groups as they reopened were realty encour7ging. In one or two. yes, numbers did drop: but not by many.And in one or two number5 actually increased (and maybe that tells us something about people's growing desire for a renewed sense of 'community'!) Indeed, almost as soon as the decision vrfas made to reopen the Coffee Shop, we were staggered by the numbers of guest5 we rypicalty welcomed on a Monday - often close to the three-figure mark, ar¢d my educated guess is that well over 50% of those who regularly attend Coffee Shop are not what you might immediately call'church people'.Which is brilliant! So, if there's one main theme that jump5 Out at me as I rdect on 2021, it's rhat these'groups,, as we refer to them, are becoming the life blood of so many people,. a good number of whom you'd tend not to See if you turned up at l 0.00 on a Sunday for worship, and that level of engagement is 50 exci£ing. It couldn't happen without the dedication and commitmenr of so many of our'regular church orbit, famity, many of thom I'm sure see their involvement as a working out of their mission tall from God. Everyone here should be proud of themselves, and of the people of Christ Church as a whole, and of all that we've been able to achieve, particularty in the arena of engaging with our local communicy, whether that be defined by geogrnphy or social nemrk.As a church we know and love more people ac the end of 2021 than we did at che beginning, and we gaiher regularty with many more too.Thar5 a really good place to be in as we begin 2022. God is good.All the time. Heworth Christ Church Parochial Church Council.

The PCC’s accounting policy is to include the investment at the market value. These 825 units had a market value at the 31 December 2021 of £19,294.03(2020: £16,902.02) meaning there was an unrealised gain over the original cost of £10,361 at 31 December 2021 of £8,933.03 (2020: £6,541.02). For information the units having increased in value by £2,392.01 in 2021 (2020:£ 1,087.49).In 2021 the income paid on the units was £490.30 (2020:£473.47).** **Although the units are readily realisable their value varies with investment market conditions and could go down in value as well as increase. The PCC has therefore resolved to treat their total value of the units as a designated fund and keep their ongoing value apart from the general fund .This enables the PCC to be aware of cash balances available for spending on routine daily expenditure made from its general fund.** **The designated fund holding the CBF units at market value is unrestricted and can be transferred back to the general fund should the PCC resolves to do such a transfer such as on the sale of the units . The reclassification from the general fund to the new designated fund has resulted in the 2020 figures as previously reported being restated. The receipts and payments account and balance sheet show the opening balances as originally reported and as restated after the reclassification to the new designated fund.** 10
