## **PRBC ANNUAL REPORT 2020** 

Perry Rise Baptist Church has as its Mission Statement – ‘We aim to be a place where Christ can be found and from which Christ can be taken into the community.’ This is worked out in practice through: activities within the church; involvement with and support provided to our local community; engagement with the wider Baptist family, and with other Christian bodies. 

The Trustees, referred to as the Leadership Team - Minister, Church Secretary, Treasurer, Elders and Deacons, appointed by church members, are responsible both as charity Trustees, and have specific roles as Elders (primary responsibility for spiritual matters), and Deacons (who take the lead on practical and financial management) of the church.  Each group meets monthly, and Leadership Team bimonthly.  Sub-groups take responsibility for service planning, pastoral care, outreach, finance, buildings, and administration. Newly appointed Elders and Deacons have an induction plan, with the provision of information on trustee roles and responsibilities, and the offer of a Mentor - a more experienced Trustee who can assist with the induction and background information on ongoing matters. 

The year started well with plans and preparation to open a combined Brigades group, with a leader appointed and volunteer helpers recruited. The preaching team had been expanded with training and feedback some young people having mentors appointed. Our regular service and midweek activities – Painting for Pleasure; Together at One; Lunch Club; 3[rd] Monday Group; Bible Study; Carers & Toddlers; Baby & Carer Group; Friday Youth; Carers Group; House Groups; Prayer Meetings; and The Fellowship met as usual for a couple of months.  All are open groups and welcome new participants. The half term Holiday Club for children ran in February. There were a couple of meetings of ‘Dementia Friends’ held to support those with caring responsibilities or who are affected by dementia in any way. A Men’s Curry Night was one of the last special events to be held before the world changed. Our first casualty of the pandemic was that having prepared and gained interest from children and parents, the Brigades started up, and had to cease after only three sessions. 

We were saddened by news of the death of Rev Douglas Sparkes, who ministered at Perry Rise BC, in the 1960s and 70’s. He went on to be the Area Superintendent of the Metropolitan Region, and then Deputy General Secretary of the Baptist Union before retiring. Another significant death was that of Alan Woodfield, and a few months later his wife, Mary. They had both made a considerable contribution to the life and work of our church over many years. 

After much planning, preparation and delays, our ‘Outer Space’ project to rebuild our kitchen commenced in March. This was delayed quite quickly as initially it was unclear whether the contractors could work at all; then there were shortages of building materials. Overall the project was significantly delayed, but it was not particularly an issue for the church as we were physically closed and no catering took place. The work was finally completed in May 2021, but the facilities did not realistically get used until autumn 2021. The works were undertaken by an excellent lead contractor and many sub-contractors – delightful and helpful people all round. 



Although not for the benefit of the church, another generous donation was from a deceased member who left her home to Spurgeon’s College – a considerable asset for the College to utilise or sell as they undertake significant development plans. 

People were deeply affected by Coronavirus and lockdowns with a disruptive and disorientating impact on individuals, and on us as a Christian community, although whilst there were a number directly afflicted or affected by Coronavirus, thankfully through the grace of God we experienced no deaths within our congregation due to Covid-19. 

Pastoral groups, care triplets, house-groups, and much work by our Minister and Elders kept people connected, supported and informed. Work was undertaken to keep in touch with Junior Church and Youth Club young people. Meetings for those caring for people with dementia were held. 

Our Minister and Leadership Team made great adjustments – particularly upskilling in technology to keep connected. Although physically closed, we continued to serve our congregation through Zoom, audio recordings, You Tube, and pastoral care. 

The Leadership Team meetings and study sessions all took place on-line. This certainly improved attendance, and in some ways was more efficient, although more tiring and the nuances of face-to-face meetings was missed. Zoom meetings became the norm, although were far from ideal for many people. 

During lockdown, it became evident that the young men who had been attending Youth Club were unlikely to return as they were in ‘A’ level year and would be moving on to university or work. A difficult decision was therefore made to formally close the Youth Club and regrettably the paid workers were made redundant, having spent several months furloughed (as were our Cleaners whilst the church premises were closed). 

Whilst the church premises closed physically, as a church, we are the people rather than the premises and we soon began meeting. This initially took place by our Minister recording items for broadcast on the new church YouTube site – PRBC2020, and subsequently via Zoom. When ‘stay at home’ restrictions eased slightly, a small group started meeting mid-weekly to record services for broadcast on Sunday – like many churches, this was a steep learning curve in technology use. Some housebound folk were then able to join services. On-line socials, as with services, had ex-members and friends from around the country and even overseas joining in or viewing our activities. 

It was not possible or practical to hold church meetings, and the AGM was not held, but mailshots kept members and our wider congregation informed as many don’t have technology for on-line meetings. Those whose terms of office would have concluded agreed to continue in post until such time as elections could be held, and this was affirmed by the membership. 

Thanks to the faithfulness of our congregation, our giving was maintained fairly well whilst we were unable to meet. Many more people set up Standing Orders, and so we were still able to pay our way and to give 15% overall to home and overseas 



mission. Regrettably, we missed out on Thank Offering, Christian Aid Week, Harvest and Christmas special offerings. Outer Space was supported by generous giving, donations and interest free loans. Apart from congregational giving, funds for Outer Space were raised through decorated/lit bottles (Pat Marley); quizzes and a book of meditations (our Minister); production of a church calendar (Paula Tatum and Communications Team); foreign currency and loose change donations. We have been able to continue to pay our way; topping up to full pay furloughed Cleaning and Youth Work staff; meeting the significant invoices received in relation to the Outer Space Project; paying our Minister; and premises costs. We give thanks to God for his provision. 

In June, our annual month of prayer took place with a programme of prayer and personal study following the ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ Churches Together initiative, but no events/gatherings could take place, although a couple of Zoom meetings and night of prayer were well supported. 

Whilst fewer activities were able to take place, our Minister took the remaining part of her sabbatical from the previous year to study and recharge. 

The church is grateful to the Baptist Union and London Baptist Association for the guidance and updates received to inform and advise the church as we had to close down, and then as we worked towards reopening. 

In preparation for when we were opening up again – September for a short time only, until lockdown 2 occurred, a congregation survey was prepared to learn of expectations, anxieties and hopes for meeting again. Much work, undertaken by a reopening team, went into planning and organising church attendance safely, with thanks to the detailed advice from the Baptist Union and London Baptists. Unfortunately, re-opening didn’t last long, but a fair number of people did return to our services before Lockdown 2. 

There was already impetus behind racial justice and taking things further with Black Lives Matter listening day planned; a review of our policies and procedures commenced; and again Black History Month was celebrated. 

Whilst the church wasn’t meeting as a congregation of believers, and the Leadership Team only met remotely, a number of initiatives were progressed during lockdown. 

Work with Anna Chaplaincy progressed and goodie bags were delivered to local care homes. 

Having not been reviewed for a few years, the church purchasing schedule (level of spending authority) was reviewed and updated. 

Whilst opening was significantly delayed due to the pandemic, significant work was undertaken for a new initiative – Aspire Preparatory Centre, a term-time Saturday learning centre for children aged 7-14 (Key Stage 2 and 3). The aim of Aspire is to offer additional holistic educational support to children/young people in our community to enable them to grow and reach their full potential. As well as English, 



Maths and Black History, the Centre offers a range of enrichment activities run by volunteers from our congregation and local citizens who have an interest in Aspire. 

Apart from the Outer Space project, work on the church premises included sorting out a damp problem in the sanctuary, replacing some broken leaded light windows and getting our hall and corridor floors sanded and varnished. The Small Hall was redecorated by the contractors as this became their base during the kitchen works. 

As individual groups, the Leadership Team, Elders and Deacons commenced completing evaluations of each meeting, the co-ordinated responses being considered at the outset of the following meeting, so that lessons could be learned, effectiveness and performance improved. One of the benefits of Zoom meeting was that attendance improved. 

Work was also commenced to review the roles and responsibilities of Elders and Deacons, both as individual roles and as Trustees of the church to inform, and hopefully encourage those who may be considering letting their names go forward for the church discernment process to have a clearer understanding of the role and time commitment. 

The year ended during lockdown 2, so we were unable to meet together to celebrate Christmas, although services continued to be recorded and published on line.
