All Saints’ Church, Writtle

Administrative Information

All Saints Church is situated in Church Lane, Writtle. It is part of the Diocese of Chelmsford within the Church of England. The correspondence address is The Parish Office, All Saints Church, Church Lane, Writtle, Essex CM1 3EN. Email address: writtleallsaints@gmail.com, website: www.alisaintswrittle.co.uk

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical parish of Writtle is registered with the Charity Commission, registration number 1130967 with the working title of All Saints Writtle,

Aim and purposes

All Saints’ Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, Rev Tony Cant, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

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 All Saints. 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 ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:

To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Church of All Saints and the Christian Centre. The PCC subcommittee has responsibility for the maintenance of the Christian Centre, Writtle. It is a self-funding entity that is expected to cover all its expenses from fees, fundraising and grants.

Electoral Roll

For the year 2024 there were 107 people on the Electoral Roll, 29 of whom live outside the parish. Since the last APCM until the end of 2024: 1 person has joined the roll, and 4 died.

The Church Representation Rules require that every Parochial Church Council maintains an electoral roll. Electoral Rolls need to be revised annually.

Once in every six years, the preparation of new church electoral rolls takes place, which means that everyone must come off the roll and re-apply. The next occasion for the preparation of new rolls is in 2025. The new roll will be presented at the APCM in 2025.

Achievements and Performance

Review of the period

|

At Writtle, the pattern of services remained the usual 1“ and 3% Sundays being Holy Communion led by the Priest-in-Charge, with 2% Sundays Holy Communion service led by Rev John Howden, Rev John Bloomer, and the 4" Sundays led by our Authorised Local Preacher, Frances Couch.

Messy Church has continued on the 4" Sundays of the month at 10am, replacing the previous Morning Service led by Frances Couch. Frances is very much involved in leading Messy Church, and it has becomea firm part of the worship pattern now with many local families bringing their children along.

The energy and skill of our congregation members who give of their time to doing so much in and for the community is astounding, and | thank them all very much indeed. And | especially thank Fr John Bloomer, our retired priests and our congregations for the wonderful ways in which they worked together over my Sabbatical during May, June and July.

Over this year all 3 churches have been working though a ‘Listening’ process to discover together what shape the future of our churches might be, as we know that the established patterns of worship and functioning together must change as they are unsustainable into the future. This work will continue into the following year.

Worship and prayer

We continued with the pattern of worship services as shown above, along with 8am on Sunday mornings of 2024 online on our YouTube channel called Writile with Highwood and Roxwell churches, while Home Communion has been taken to those requesting it. Joint Services for all 3 churches (Writtle, Highwood, and Roxwell) were held on Ash Wednesday, Rogation, and Trinity Sunday. .

The Mission and Ministry Partnership (made up of St. Andrew's, Ascension with All Saints, Writtle with Highwood, and Roxwell churches) continues to work together, support each other’s parishes and try to be more co-ordinated in the collective approach to mission and ministry.

Fr John Bloomer, our Curate, was ‘signed off by the Bishop of Bradwell at the end of December, which means that he is currently discerning what the next phase of his ministry will be, We've been very pleased to have had Fr John with us and will miss his presence among us,

The current pattern is likely to continue for the foreseeable future and we remain open to seeing what God may have in storein the future. RevPriest-in-Charge. Tony Cant (\ | 4 So .

Wlessy Church

Messy Church is now a regular monthly service on the 4" Sunday of the month, and has been running for 18 months. It is Christ-centred, for all ages, based on creativity, hospitality and celebration. Messy Church is about our lives not being perfect, our families and children are not perfect. The best space for God to deal with us in our messiness and disorder is in church.

We now have between 25-50 children together with parents, grandparents, carers, adults, young people and the congregation coming together once a month.

For those who wish to join in we have a discussion group led by Phil Couch in the small chapel who talk about themes linked to the bible story.

We have been especially blessed with having three baptisms during the year, two of which were older children who had themselves expressed a desire to Rev Tony to come forward for baptism. Together with their family, friends and Messy Church we witnessed the beginnings of their faith journey.

Feedback has been very positive from families in particular, some of whom had children that had never been in a church. No prerequisites and no barriers, background doesn’t matter, no rigid formality, time to talk, lovely atmosphere, very welcoming.

if you have not been to Messy Church we look forward to welcoming you, if you would like to get involved and volunteer there are many ways of doing this, talking and welcoming new people, helping at the craft tables, making refreshments, setting up the day before and prayer support.

We entered our first Christmas tree into the Christmas Tree Festival this year and everyone enjoyed making the decorations. These were crafts items that we had made during the year Messy Church and reflected a wide range of themes and activities.

We finished the year with a living nativity which was very popular, everyone had a chance to make a headdress, we had angels, shepherds, kings, donkeys, sheep and even a star to lead Mary and Joseph as they walked around the church singing carols as they went on ‘The journey to Bethlehem’. Despite the windy weather we still managed to light the firepits and the toasted marshmallows and hot chocolate went down well.

|

We look forward to the future with great anticipation and excitement and would ask you to pray for those who will come on a Sunday and those involved with the planning and leading.

Churchwardens Report

itis always good to sit and reflect over the past year and then you realise how busy we have been and how much we have to say thank you to God for.

| would like to start by thanking everyone who has played a part in making All Saints the warm and welcoming church that it is and without everyone behind the scenes we would _ not be able to be open to receive visitors and provide the services that we do. With so many churches now not being open it is a credit to those who faithfully open up the church and lock up at night to enable the church to be as well used as it is and the comments in the visitors book are a testament to that.

We are blessed with wonderful florists, singers, musicians, clergy, cooks, cleaners, the list goes on to enable us to worship and be an integral part of village life. The more the merrier so if anyone would like to join in and help please let us know.

As an ancient building the fabric committee continue to balance how to keep the church in good order whilst at the same time balancing budgets and cost restraints.

The main event this year was Rev Tony’s sabbatical during the summer months, whilst he was away we looked and took part in the Listening Project and we were asked to be guided by 3 questions. The purpose of this period of listening was to provide input into our discernment of the vision for our church for the next 5 years.

All Saints also took part in the contactless giving devices rollout which was supported and funded by the Chelmsford Diocese. We successfully acquired a machine and with training and support it is now installed by the welcome desk. Contactless giving is now being used within our church on a regular basis alongside other ways of giving.

Messy church has now been going for 18 months and continues to bring new families and others into the church in December 2024 we had over 50 children and 70 adults as we had our Living Nativity and the very popular firepits and marshmallows. We have also shared with two young people who asked to be baptised during a Messy Church service and were able to witness to their family and friends.

Thank you for all your support and help during the past year

Writtle Christian Centre

The Centre plays a major part in the life of the village providing revenue for the Hall and amenities for local residents. Our regular hirers include Provide Community offering COPD rehabilitation sessions twice a week and a long-Covid rehab session once a week; Physiotherapy three times a week, Essex Dementia Care hold a day activity group; InterAct runs The Together Club specifically for young adults with additional needs between the ages of 19-25; Link Club, a weekly gathering for lonely or housebound elderly residents offering Communion once a month; Potters House Church offer weekly services. We also provide West Coast Swing Dance class; Bilingua Sing, a sensory class for babies and toddlers in several languages; Dance Expressions with most types of dance for children; Writtle Dance; Kazen Kai, martial arts for children; Chelmsford Morris; uniformed groups, Brownies and Rainbows; BIG Sing choir rehearsals; yoga classes; Bounce, mini-trampoline exercise classes; Chelmsford Modern Sequence Dance; Simply Ballroom; Essex Stretch Academy classes; Writtle Portrait Art; and Aradhana School of Dancing.

We regularly hold the Saraswati Puja Festival in February and Durga Puja Indian Festival in October, an Indian Bazaar and Food Festival, Vintage Fairs, Writtle Garden and Allotment Shows, Craft Fairs, wedding receptions and dinners as well as church events and meetings. The Centre is also the home of Writtle Archives since 1994. One-off hires have also increased with many children’s parties and family events. On average we have 6 one-off hires per month which provides useful income in addition to our regular hirers and allowed us to ‘grant’ the church £5,000 at the end of the year.

Major ground works to the area outside the Quiet Room was completed as well as new guttering to the Main Hall. New LED lighting was installed in the hallway and kitchen. The cast-iron guttering in Church Lane was repaired. Sadly, in November, a company delivering to the cottage in Church Lane, hit the new cast iron guttering causing some damage albeit for which liability has not yet been accepted. Essential repairs were completed but it was the fourth such accident in three years!

The financial position is good, but we face significant challenges in meeting rising costs for cleaning and utilities. We signed a new 36-month contract for dual fuel. A review of our charging regime resulted in an increase from 1 January 2025 and our hire fees will increase again in 2026. During the year the Management Commitiee met five times to discuss many aspects of the running of the Centre and receive reports from the Manager as well as financial reports. Looking ahead to 2025, there will be some major work undertaken to the flat roof over the Foyer and toilet area which is now leaking on a fairly regular basis. Grants for the work are currently being applied for. We will continue with internal improvements as funds allow, including replacing the spot lights in the Main Hall, installing an extractor fan and redecoration of the kitchen, a canopy over the entrance and new external signage. The Centre is extremely well used throughout the week with 25 regular hirers. New hirers come forward on a regular basis as the Centre’s reputation in the area continues to grow.

Treasurers Financial Review of 2024

After six years as treasurers Heather and myself stepped aside to allow the new treasurers to commence work from the 01/01/25. The changes in our charity and church in those six years have been immense. Look back through the accounts and see the increases in income and control of expenditure. This has laid the foundation for today’s financially strong church and charity.

As 2024 has tumed out to be one of the great years it would be amiss of me not to mention the generous donations that have been received throughout the year from one and all. Everyone who has given through standing orders, envelopes, collections, donations great and small, charity appeals and our fundraising efforts ~ WE SAY THANK YOU.

We have continued to expand our fundraising efforts over the years, just to mention a few gives a flavour of their range and fund raising potential.

Craft Fair and Christmas Tree Festival has run for many years currently raising £9k whilst the two yearly Friends of Writtle Church Open Gardens can raise £5k for the Fabric of the Church. Writtle Singers continue to hire the church for concerts and training sessions raising £2k and Writtle College continue to grace our church with their Graduation Day which can raise upwards of £1k.

All this fundraising goes towards the list of outstanding works to be considered, the most pressing being a new heating and lighting system, to replace the current oil requirement. A new slate wall and memorial garden as we slowly run out of space on the current wail. Quistanding masonry work on the fabric of the Church etc.

it is pleasing to note that at the years end we were awarded a grant of £12k towards the establishment for the role of Administrator for our 5 churches. We await further news. RESERVES POLICY It is the PCC policy to maintain a balance of unrestricted funds which equates to three months paymenis, to cover emergency situations that may arise from time io time. The balance has been higher than needed in the past few years as parish share payments were limited and a number of projects took longer than expected to come to completion. You will have seen that major fabric work has commenced and been completed which uses some of the surplus cash.

To maximise income surplus funds are held first with Barclays Bank pic in a current account and then via a sweep arrangement to a deposit account earning 1.5%. Further monies are then invested in CCLA deposit accounts currently earning 4.75% to 5%.

These arrangements have been looked at by the Independant Examiner and as long as interest rates stay higher than expected for longer will benefit the PCC finances via higher income,

PUBLIC BENEFIT

The trustees have considered the Charity Commission guidance on Public Benefit in relation to churches as required. The Objectives and Achievements section of the trustees report at the beginning outline and expand upon the public benefit achieved by the PCC.

Being at the centre of our community in Writtle the buildings of the church and supporting structures are by their very nature, public spaces open to the public and accessible to them on a daily basis. One of the missions of the Church is to support the local community as much as possible through employing local people and craftsmen in renovation projects and provide space for local projects to grow and thrive. Car park white lining and signing to make parking easier, aids the wider village. Tree surgery work on the boundaries of the churchyard answer the requirement to regularly check the condition of local trees and enable light to enter properties which have become shaded.

Structure, Governance and Management

The PCC is a team of people who, with the parish priest, oversee the life of the church, fo ensure we are focused on living out the Gospel. We aim to seek God's will, work well together, reflect our values and take action for the future. The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At All Saints, the membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent (our Priest-in-Charge), churchwardens, members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who aitend our services / members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.

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. The full PCC met three times during the year. All meetings have been quorate. The required Standing items have been on the Agenda at each meeting to ensure compliance with requirements. These include reports on sub-committee/group meetings, financial reports and safeguarding. Regular reports are also received from other groups connected to the church.

Given its wide responsibilities the PCC has a number of committees each dealing with a particular aspect of parish life. These committees, which include worship, mission and outreach and fabric and finance, are all responsible to the PCC and report back to it regularly with reports of their discussions being received by the full PCC.

11

, , |

The PCC is the arena at which different aspects of church life are brought together and discussed and where decisions are made to approve new initiatives and move them forward.

The meetings are chaired by the Priest-in-Charge and the membership includes those elected at the APCM to serve on the PCC and Deanery Synod plus the Churchwardens who are ex-officio members. In terms of the Charity Commission guidance, the members of the PCC are the trustees.

Elections to specific roles (i.e. vice-chair, treasurer, secretary, electoral roll, safeguarding, GDPR officer and membership of committees and of those who have particular roles within the church) take place at the first PCC after the APCM. Each meeting has standard agenda items, and include:

The PCC makes decisions in all these areas as necessary. It approves the church accounts at the meeting prior to the APCM. In addition, time is set-aside in PCC meetings to discuss particular matters relating to church life both at All Saints and within the deanery, the diocese and the wider Church of England. For matters which require a full PCC decision, these groups bring a proposed resolution to the meeting. The Minutes of each full meeting are available to those listed on the electoral role by making a request to the secretary.

The PCC has responsibility for working with Rev Tony Cant on matters of general concern and importance to the parish, and promoting the whole mission of the Church in the parish. it works for ail in the parish not just on running the church building. The PCC listens and debates so that they can hear God’s wisdom even in complicated situations. Sometimes there are disagreements or hard decisions need to be made. The PCC keep God right at the centre and trust that he is powerful and good enough to lead; taking time to focus and listen to discern what he is saying and where he is leading us.

The PCC takes commitment, time, effort and dedication from those who serve on it. There are many who do the hard work before and after PCC meetings by serving so faithfully on the various church committees. Their contribution to church life is often hidden. Our thanks are due to all those who serve in this way.

Also, itis right and proper to express the thanks of the Parochial Church Council to all who have helped with the life, work and minisiry of All Saints. They are too many to name and to add to the difficulty many offer their help and service anonymously. But whether known or unknown, upfront or backroom, high profile or anonymous, our deepest gratitude goes to you.

Members of the congregation are welcome to bring any matters of concern at any time to our PCC iay representatives, or to volunteer to be a member of a particular group or committee.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE FESTIVAL 2024

All Saints Church, Writtle, was transformed into a moving scene of colour and twinkling lights with a wonderful total of 62 trees, lit up and decorated for the annual Christmas Tree Festival. Together with ihe Craft Fair, the event raised a little over £9,000: a magnificent amount. The preview reception, which was generously sponsored by Ellie & Rob of the Rose & Crown, was well attended by the exhibitors.

The Guests of Honour, Rev John and Sue Howden, judged the Writtle CARDS tree, based on their Christmas show, as their favourite.

Congratulations to the weekend Festival winners who were:

Thanks to the winners and to all the other entrants for putting on such a good display. Many thanks also to all those who supported the event by coming to see the trees, and to the committee whose hard work enabled the event to be so successful. A very festive and enjoyable occasion!

Christians Together Contact: Geoff Clarke

We have not formally met in Writtle over the past year but those concerned about ecumenical cooperation support the principle just as much. It is clear we can do this effectively through the CtiC (Christians together in Chelmsford)and many opportunities to join with other churches activities arise every week and are well and timely flagged by Richard Cecil ,Secretary to Ctic in his regular e mails. His e mail was noted last year but here it is again thesecretary@ctic.org.uk ( Let us know if you have any problems with that). There is also a need to support the work of CTIC by a donation from the many churches there are, but this has not been the priority it should be as, for example, reasonable funds 17

, | | |

are needed to suppori the excellent Good Friday witness service and fringe activities around it which seek to imaginatively present the faith. One of us has again donated £300.00 to help the cause, but it should be part of the agenda of all the churches. Back to Writtle we noted last year that two other churches have sprung up, meeting in the Christian centre and Writtle College, as well as the Refuge church so it is important that we think about, at least, some ways in which we can show shared witness in the village.

THE PARISH OF ALL SAINTS, WRITTLE MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL VESTRY MEETING HELD ON WEDNESDAY 29" MAY 2024 FROM 19:30 IN CHURCH

|

, |

  1. Welcome and opening prayers Father John Bloomer opened the meeting with a reading and a prayer and welcomed the parishioners for attending. Psalm133 and the First Letter of John - God is Love

in Rev Tony’s absence, the Churchwardens Measure 2001 (cl5(5)) indicates that a chair of the AVM is chosen by the “meeting of parishioners”. PCC Vice Chair Vanessa Brett was proposed as Chair by Father John and Seconded by Nicola Shepherd. The Parishioners unanimously agreed.

Vanessa thanked Father John. She offered a warm weicome to the 27 parishioners attending the AV&PCM and to Alan Radford, the Independent Examiner.

  1. Apologies for absence Apologies for absence were received from: Rev Tony, Paul Burgess, Margaret Bruce, Phil and Frances Couch, Jean Edwards, David and Prue James, Jenny Rolf, Peter Day, Derek and Jean Judd and Michele Moody.

  2. Minutes of the last AV held on 21 May 2023 The Minutes were unanimously agreed as a true record.

  3. 4, Watters Arising There were no matters arising.

we have invested in tree cutting and management, roof repairs, masonry work and are awaiting approval for a South Porch refresh. Within 2024 Budget money has been allocated for new slate in the Garden of Rest and revamp of the garden itself. We continue to hold funds against the potential of a new heating and lighting systems (Roxwell cost was £60,000).

lt is pleasing to note that over 2023 we have seen an increase in footfall to the church, increased usage for various events and a willingness of users to book and pay in advance.

We continue to support as wide a range as possible of innovation in the church. Supporting the restart of Evensong, joint venture with Writtle Singers and enhanced musical content.

From the halcyon days of 2018 when the accounts were recorded by hand in an exercise book, we were vicar-less and treasurer-less All Saints Church has come a long way in a very short time.

We look forward to setting new records in 2024.

There were no questions for Heather. Heather reminded the parishioners that they were welcome to email or call Paul if they had questions that they wanted to discuss. Paul and Heather were thanked for their work on keeping the accounts in order. [Applause].

  1. Alan Rashford the Independent Examiner clarified that he wasn’t sure if Paul would be here or not, but he is here in spirit so Alan didn’t have a great deal to add. 2023 was a very good year. The general fund went up substantially and with over £300k that is a healthy budget, can approach building works with confidence. He had been trying to cajole Paul and Heather to get things done in difficult circumstances. We got there and the accounts are in good order. Great news that Paul is doing well and is looking forward to getting back to his role.

Alan was thanked for his work examining the accounts. [Applause].

Nomination Proposed by: Seconded by: Sally Cansdale Hazel Kempton Natsuko (Kashi) Francis Philip Couch Richard Oscroft Hazel Kempton Michele Moody Vanessa Brett Nicola Shepherd Margaret Bruce Pamela Butt Christine Pendrill

|

John Howden — 1 know that | have stepped down from the Christmas Tree Festival and | will probably help but Charlie Charlick has taken on my role and will be asking for things like cake and asking people to do things. So please help, step forward and propel others forward too. Thank you for all your support in the past | have enjoyed it and | am sure it will be great in December. Thank you for all your hard work over the years and the foresight in getting it going. The church always looks beautiful and it is a big achievement.

Richard Oscroft - Open Gardens is 16 June Midday until 1700. 5 new gardens this year. | encourage you to support with family and friends. | don’t want to be negative, Jean Pinkney and Peter Pegg organised it again this year, they gave notice 2 years ago but have not been able to be replaced as the volunteers had to step aside. It is for the church and we need a member of the PCC and another to ensure that the money continues to come to the church.

Diana — we used to have a booklet for the APCM and it was really valued. We need to start doing this again. Heather - we produced all the papers in with large print and small print and every year a different colour cover, Vanessa agreed to refer to the PCC to discuss.

.

11. Date of next meeting

The first meeting of the new PCC will be confirmed when Rev Tony returns.

  1. Date of Next APCM The next APCM will take place on Monday 12 May 2025.

13. Any Other Business None

14. Thanks

Vanessa would like to record her own and Rev Tony Cant’s sincere thanks and gratitude to everyone that volunteers to help with the church, its running, its committees and the Christian Centre.

Vanessa closed the meeting with prayers and grace and thanked everyone for attending.

THE PARISH OF ALL SAINTS, WRITTLE MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL PAROCHIAL MEETING HELD ON WEDNESDAY 29" MAY 2024 FROM 19:40 IN CHURCH

  1. Annual Parochial Church Meeting. Vanessa Brett opened the APCM, chairing as Vice Chair of the PCC per Church Representation Rules, 9 M4 (1) (b). She reminded any members of the public not on the electoral role that they are not able to speak or vote at the APCM.

  2. Minutes of the last APCM held on 21 May 2023 The Minutes were unanimously agreed as a true record.

3. Matters Arising

Hazel Kempton provided an overview. Figures are as in the annual report. 5 Joined which is good. 7 have gone. 110 in total which is a good number, there are quite a few new people so that is new and encouraging.

Thanks were recorded for Hazel and there were no questions.

  1. Treasurer’s Report and Presentation of Accounis for the year ended 31 December 2023. Heather Cooley presented on behalf of Paul Burgess. Thank you for all your good wishes and the love and support that you have given us. Paul wanted to come tonight but was grounded.

2023 was a record year. Since 2018 when we started, overall church value has risen from £175,000 to £300,000. In these accounts all areas have grown including income and expenditure. 2023 saw a record return on Christmas Tree Festival and Craft Fair to celebrate John’s stepping back. We still have issues to face such as continued growth in energy costs and usage and a decline in takings in the open gardens. Open Gardens is being addressed this year by a refreshed team, new gardens and increased ticket price. Hopefully we will be back on track.

it would be remiss of Paul not to point out that over the same six years parish share has been reduced from £66,000 to £48,000 which we currently pay in full. This has helped our financial situation enormously.

The other advantage is the high interest rate environment where today cash balances can earn up to 5% whereas six years ago they were very low.

The financial strength of All Saints Church Writtle has enabled us to complete, commence and plan for projects to enhance the church. Over recent months
