## **Structure, governance and management**
## **Type of governing document**
The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. It operates under the Parochial Church Powers Measure (effective from 2nd January 1957).
## **Constitution**
The Parochial Church Council is responsible for all parish finance, its management and control, including the appointment of a treasurer. While it may delegate some of its duties this does not remove its legal responsibilities. These include:
keeping 'proper accounting records', which are sufficient to show and explain all the PCC's transactions and must include a record of all relevant assets and liabilities. The records, together with the annual financial statements, must be preserved for at least six years from the end of the financial year to which they relate.
Page 2
The records must: show and explain all the PCC's transactions; disclose the PCC's financial position at any time; enable the required accounts to be prepared; show on a day-to-day basis all receipts and payments and what they were for; include a record of all assets and liabilities.
ensuring that the finances of the PCC are under its control and only delegated if the PCC can ensure that its wishes will be followed.
preparing an annual account (financial statements) and report for presentation to the Annual Parochial Church Meeting in accordance with the requirements of the Church Representation Rules.
arranging for a suitable independent examination or audit of the financial statements.
## **Selection of trustees**
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. All church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.
## **Induction and training of trustees**
When new trustees are elected a training session may be held at which the responsibilities and duties of the PCC trustees are explained. Specific training is provided from time to time as needed either using local courses or courses arranged by the Diocese.
## **Organisation structure**
The full PCC met 7 times during the calendar year with an average attendance of 70% of the members. Committees met between meetings and, where necessary, matters were referred to the full PCC for discussion.
The PCC operates through a number of committees, which meet between full meetings of the PCC, and subcommittees that report through the main committees. Standing Committee. This is the only committee required by law. It has power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings subject to any directions given by the full Council.

## **Curate’s house**
27 Davenport Road was let for the whole of 2021. The tenant has caught up with missed payments.
## **Churchyard**
The churchyard was closed in 2008. Stockport MBC is responsible for maintaining the churchyard although we have to pay one third of the cost because of the legal circumstances relating to part of the churchyard
## **Norbury Church Parish Trust**
The NASC (Norbury Amalgamated Sports Club) continues to provide bowling, cricket and lacrosse games using the land held by this separate trust.
## **Worship and Prayer**
## **Worship**
Thanks to our supportive ministry team we managed to continue our worship during 2021.
Apart from the times when we were unable to gather, we worshipped together on a Sunday and Wednesday in church.
In September 2021 we embarked on a new pattern of worship that enabled more people to rejoin our 'in person' worshipping community.
This new pattern of Sunday worship includes services at 8.00, 9.30, 11.00 and 6.30. These services offer a breadth of styles with the 9.30 being a "fresh expression" of church with discussion groups and a more informal feel. The 11.00 service continues to be supported musically by a blend of organ/choir and music group/piano.
## **Prayer Ministry**
Our Ministry Team continued to gather each Monday either on Zoom or in Person to continue to pray for the church and community.
Other prayer ministry remained in abeyance through 2021.
## **Children and Young People**
2021 started very much as 2020 had finished nothing for children and families happening at church, I was having no face to face contact with them, everything being done on zoom and all other contact through email and social media.
We continued to engage with the younger church families through a family service on zoom it was run on the 2nd and 4th Sunday at 9.30am for about 20mins, we had a story, a running round activity, songs and a craft. For the craft I dropped the materials off at the 10 families homes the Thursday before the service, all in a covid safe way. This was a great success and engaged with a lot of our younger members and their parents. When covid numbers reduced we returned this to church on a Sunday at 9.30am in the Legh room,
Page 4
each family sitting socially distanced from other families. We kept the same format as we had on zoom, except for running around game. This was something we could invite Baptism families too and they attended occasionally.
Messy Church at Home / Messy Church in a Bag, continued until June, basically we filmed a short messy church session on a theme, with a story or teaching, a couple of songs, an explanation of the crafts and ending with a prayer and the Messy Grace, this went out on You Tube to 4pm on the 4th Wednesday of the month, in December it went on facebook too, so it was easier to access. That was the at home bit, the bag bit involved me making up craft bags with all the materials in for the crafts and putting them outside church to be collected by the families from the Sunday before the Wednesday the session was on. Over 60 bags a month were being collected, some families let me know it was great as they could reengage with Messy Church, they couldn’t come on a Wednesday as they now worked, their child had another club etc, but as it was filmed they could access it any time.
Toddlers was also still online via a short film on our Toddler group facebook page each Wednesday at 10am, this involved 2 songs, a story and a craft, but the big difference was each week I had a different visitor in the form of a puppet, so I basically spent 15 mins talking to Digby Donkey, Lulu the dog, Fluffy the Sheep and many others. Jimmy operated the puppet and the feedback was the children and adults just loved it, we were getting about 300 views of the video a week. Along with the film I produced craft bags that the parents / carers could collect with all the craft materials for about 6 weeks of activities in, again lots of photos were received of the children making the crafts and having lots of fun.
Although we could not gather for toddlers we were able to begin a new non-moving baby group. his was of great help to so many new mums over the few months that we ran it and two of them continue to come to toddler group now.
## **Holiday Club**
In August 2021 we had our first face-to-face children’s event at church “Rumble in the Jungle” holiday club, we kept numbers limited to be on the safe side, but still had 56 children attending.
## **Youth**
Pathfinders continued to meet on zoom, and then progressed to meeting again at church. We worked with Josh and attained the bronze Eco award for the church. As part of our Eco discussions the group decided they would like to develop an area of the churchyard into an Eco garden. They chose and area at the far end against the railway line. In May we began clearing and tidying the area, but it was a bigger job than we expected. A working day where parents and church members came to help was a great success and we made fantastic headway with the clearing. We laid membrane to stop the growth of weeds, build bug hotels using pallets, built a planter from scratch and created a bog pond to attract insects. In October we planted autumn plants in old wheelbarrows and reclaimed plant pots. There is still a lot to do but due to winter we put a hold on everything. Thanks to those who have supported us in this project. The Pathfinder group and leaders have remained a strong unit throughout the pandemic, the youngsters attending each week either on zoom or meeting up when we could. They have got to know the leaders better as we have had more chance to chat and discuss differing subjects each week without the pressure of finishing, to get back into church or missing weeks due to attending services.

## **Exploring and Growing in Faith.**
## **Fellowship Groups**
Our fellowship groups continued to offer informal support for each other; either through telephone conversations or by meeting in the garden; when this was allowed.
## **Alpha**
In 2021 a group from Norbury Church took Alpha online. These sessions were attended by a small group of people who enjoyed watching videos, sharing fellowship and asking questions about our faith.
## **Supporting Life's Journey.**
## **Pastoral Care**
Pastoral care of our congregation has been of utmost importance during the pandemic. With many of our members being extremely vulnerable or living on their own without the regular social contact to brighten up their lives. With the help of volunteers, we have worked tirelessly to keep in contact with all those who needed care. This was aided by regular pastoral letters and phone calls from members of the ministry team.
## **Occasional Offices**
This year the clergy conducted 17 funerals in church and a further 17 at the crematorium. We also conducted 35 of burial of ashes.
The clergy also were part of [ ] number of baptisms and celebrated with 6 number of wedding couples and conducted 1 wedding blessing.
## **Supporting Life in the Community**
## **Remembrance Sunday**
This year we were able to gather at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday to pay respect to all those who have died in conflicts. This year was particularly poignant as we celebrated the Poppy appeal.
## **Christmas Community Carols**
Members of Norbury Church also partnered with a local running shop to offer a Christmas Carol Dash. This event was well attended and ended with mince pies and mulled wine being served in church.
## **Being Part of Something Bigger**
We continue to support a range of outside charities and agencies, at home and abroad, both in the 13 we particularly support and promote links with, and through one-off collections, responding to particular needs.
Page 6
Our "big Quiz Night" hosted once again on Zoom to support Tear Fund is a good example of this ongoing work.
We have developed strong links with the local Foodbank based at the nearby Baptist Church, the Wellspring in Stockport, Wood Street Mission, and International Aid Trust as the agency through which we channel our shoeboxes.
In 2021 we also spent some time with the local community clearing the Norbury Sports Field of litter. Over 30 bags of rubbish were collected on one Saturday morning and the Lacrosse club were very greatful for this work.
In 2021, through the dedication and hard work of our young people we were awarded the Bronze Award for these efforts and are working towards achieving our Silver award in 2022.
Development as an Eco-Church is now under the banner of our One World Group, which has focused on, inter alia, our monthly Traidcraft stall, Fairtrade lunches, and our church carbon footprint.
