Objectives and Activities
St Peter’s PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, the Revd Canon Mark Pilgrim, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It also has maintenance responsibilities for the buildings on the church site in The Drive, Henleaze.
In 2016 the PCC adopted the following guiding principles for all its activities:
St Peter’s Vision is Lives transformed by following Christ in love and service. Its Mission is ‘Worship God. Make friends. Change the world.’ and its Values are ‘Pray faithfully. Listen well. Act boldly. Serve generously.’
Structure, Governance and Management
St Peter’s generally implements its Vision through the PCC setting and undertaking Targets each year. Work on these Targets is carried out by a variety of Teams, Groups, Sub-Committees and individuals including the the Site Committee, the Preaching Team, the Healing Group, the Young Seekers and Club, the Safe and Welcome Team and many others.
PCC’s responsibilities are additionally undertaken:
-
at the strategic level by the Planning / (from October 2020) Strategy Team, appointed by the PCC.
-
at the executive and operational level between PCC meetings by the Standing Committee.
The method of appointment of PCC members conforms to the Church Representation Rules 2011. These rules also govern the procedures and activities of the PCC. All church attendees are encouraged to register on the Church Electoral Roll, and to consider seeking election to serve on the PCC.
Bank Accounts are held at: Lloyds Bank, Henleaze Branch, 73 Henleaze Road, Bristol BS9 4JS Independent Examiner of the Accounts: Mr W Evans, 111, Eastfield Road, Bristol. BS9 4AN
Review of the Year 2020
Public Benefit
The PCC is a charity whose objects fall into the category: “The Advancement of Religion”.
All church services of divine worship are freely open to any member of the public. Church services include teaching of a moral and ethical framework to children and adults. This contributes to their spiritual and moral education which will play an important part in helping to make public society better. The church also provides other facilities of public benefit, e.g. it is available, with appropriate staffing, for weddings and funerals; also, the church is open most weekday mornings as a sacred space in which any person may spend time in peaceful meditation or prayer.
The PCC believes that these examples illustrate that its activities provide “public benefit” and so entitle it to hold the status of being a registered charity. The general activities of the PCC and the church as a whole are reported in greater detail in subsequent paragraphs.

2020: the year the Coronavirus pandemic spread across the world
From mid-January 2020 onwards, it became clear that the coronavirus outbreak first identified in China at the end of December 2019 could have a major impact on the world as we have known it – and so it came to pass.
The need to abide by Covid 19 restrictions and social distancing guidelines meant that the Café Create ‘Open Mic’ social and mission fundraising event attended by around 40 people on 14[th] February was one of the very few ‘St Peter’s Events’ able to take place during the year. Worship only took place online from Mothering Sunday until September. It was quickly established that around 23% of our regular attenders were not connected to the internet and could only access streamed worship via their telephones. We therefore started to use Free Conference Call since it offered a phone facility side by side with video conferencing. When the advantages of Zoom became clear, we moved all our streaming to this platform.
Problems were encountered throughout the remaining Lent, Holy Week and Easter season because of the very low internet bandwidth available in parts of Henleaze, including The Drive. However, it was soon established that some attenders lived in areas with good bandwidth, and they provided excellent service as our Zoom hosts. Particular thanks go to David Fenna for his pioneering and, now, long service in this role.
A pattern of the Vicar presiding at a Sunday 10am Communion first in the Vicarage and then in church with attenders on devices and phones in their homes soon established itself. Simon Collins, our Youth Worker, worked quickly with willing families to organise and hold Zoom All Age services at 11am. The pattern at these services of families working together in new ways to plan and lead worship has been very successful and looks set to continue and benefit our future mission and ministry. The 7.30pm Contemplative Service made a smooth transition from ‘in church’ to online: the ease of access, informality and intimacy that Zoom gatherings can enable has certainly been a feature of these 7.30pm services and regular attenders may well have developed a degree of fellowship by meeting via Zoom which possibly would not have occurred by meeting only in church.
Morning Prayer also transferred quickly to Free Conference Call – and doubled its regular congregation from 2 to 4 within a couple of months.
While face to face ‘in person’ contact became almost non-existent, opportunities to meet fleetingly did arise e.g. for deliverers taking the paper copies of the Weekly Sheet and other leaflets and service books to the 45 or so St Peter’s attenders not online. Much use was made of the phone, especially during the two 2020 Lockdowns. Fellowship and pastoral contact was maintained and in some cases developed further through the phone calls and new patterns of meeting together that the pandemic necessitated.
Sunday 8am and Thursday 10.30am Communions were then held in church in Covid 19 secure, socially distanced ways from September until the end of the year – at which point a third Lockdown was instituted and 2021 started with all services back online. It was delightful, however, to be able to hold Christingle and Crib Services and an 8am Christmas Day Communion in church and the Carol Service outside, in the car park – with singing allowed outside and readings coming via Zoom from people in their homes. Grateful thanks are extended to all who enabled and participated in these efforts.
Implementing St Peter’s Vision: ‘Lives transformed by following Christ in love and service’.
Our usual efforts to implement our Vision were severely affected by the pandemic. With no means of meeting in person, working on initiatives together has been severely restricted. House Groups meeting in people’s homes, Mothers’ Union meetings and our Ale and Arty Charity Festival were just some of the discipleship and fellowship developing activities that could not take place. We have not been able to work to and monitor our implementation of the SMART Targets for 2020 as managed in previous years. However,

some things went ahead despite the restrictions. PCC and some other parish meetings quickly and successfully transferred to Zoom. Notable among these was the Advent’s Art course proposed by St Peter’s but run in conjunction with Trinity Henleaze URC and with their Minister, the Rev Neil Thorogood, leading four sessions on art which shed light on Advent and Nativity themes.
The work of the Eco Committee was largely unhindered by the pandemic. A plan to turn the eastern end of the Church Garden into a ‘rewilded’ Wild Garden was enthusiastically undertaken and, over the summer, a hedge was planted, a wildflower area established, three trees planted, a pond placed in the Millennium raised bed and a large, commodious bug hotel provided for small animals. The garden quickly became a much enjoyed place to come to by parents and carers with small children. The development of this area is the work of the whole Eco Committee – but thanks go especially to Pauline Watkin and Mary Goronwy for their significant contributions to this activity. Again, as a result of the Eco Committee’s leadership, St Peter’s gained the nationally recognised Eco Church Silver Award and is taking strides now towards the Gold.
In addition to the Eco Award, St Peter’s was also certified as a Fairtrade Church: both these elements are included in our public information – on noticeboards and website – to communicate our positive engagement with these issues to the wider community and public.
In July we were delighted to welcome the Rev Kandis Douglas as St Peter’s Curate. Despite the lack of opportunity to meet people in person, Kandis quickly established herself as part of the team. With our Youth Worker, Simon Collins, she oversaw the creation of a Youth Team to plan and deliver both worship and social/fellowship events both online and, where possible, in church to meet the spiritual needs of children, young people and families. Kandis quickly made an impact on our worship pattern, co-ordinating a Creationtide programme that enabled us to celebrate this new season of the Church’s Year for five consecutive Sundays from 4[th] September to 4[th] October. During the autumn, Kandis then ran a Zoom group addressing some of the Big Questions facing Christian faith.
Kandis has fitted seamlessly into the Ministry Team. Our LLM’s Ian Love, Sarah Thomas and Kathy Kilgour have nurtured people through their preaching and wider ministries throughout this difficult year, ably supported by my retired clergy colleagues, Peter Chambers and Andrew Daunton-Fear.
Significant contributions to these and other activities were made by the Trinity ordinands on placement at St Peter’s. Our Café Create, youth and children’s work and Zoom discussion groups have been enhanced by their involvement. They have led worship and preached with passion and skill. A Prayer Group was started by one which has brought a new dimension and depth of experience to participants which we look forward to building on in the future. We wish every blessing on Claire Welch and Emma Haggar as they prepare for ordination this year and look forward to the further contributions from Elliot George, Zoe Braven Giles and Ceri Webb in the coming year.
Our Henleaze Hospitality group continued to support the Syrian Refugee family who arrived in December 2018. The level of support needed and provided surpasses the two year commitment initially made: we are together for the long haul – and glad to be, with a prayer that they, children of God just as we are, can thrive within our local and wider community just as well as those who have lived here and in this country all their lives.
As soon as churches were encouraged to be open for private prayer, though not for public worship, St Peter’s adopted a practice of flinging wide its doors and advertising its availability as a Covid-secure space for prayer and reflection. In the summer, this meant simply being open and freely accessible. A display of newsletters from our CMS Partner, Anne Plested, in Bethlehem was followed, in September, by Letty Pilgrim curating an exhibition entitled ‘What have you learned to love during Lockdown?’ displaying photographs and texts provided by some 30 St Peter’s attenders. This started a practice that is still running – of furnishing visitors to St Peter’s with a display of curated resources to encourage and nurture their reflection and prayer. The Lockdown display was joined by a display of poems enjoyed by the 7.30pm

Contemplative Service congregation at its monthly Poetry and Prayer Compline. Everything moved up a gear, then, with a display of the Christmas Story in classical and contemporary art, with images printed out as posters and hung on six hessian panels between the arches of the main church area. The fact that St Peter’s was physically open and could be entered for prayer and reflection seems, if the comments from visitors encountered during the time is anything to go by, to have been much appreciated. Footfall through the church during the week has increased. It is something St Peter’s is determined to build on during 2021 and beyond.
Our practice of devoting one Sunday per year to focus on the stewardship of our money was re-purposed in 2020. Because it had been impossible to hold fundraising social events to support our Outreach charities and groups, the PCC decided to invite the congregation to make up the £6000 target through one-off gifts in a two week period at the end of November. By the middle of December, David Fenna, our hard working Treasurer, was delighted to report £9000 had been given, exceeding our target by 50%.

Church Governance and Administration
The Parochial Church Council met seven times in 2020. The average attendance percentage was 77%. Committees met between meetings and reports of their deliberations were received by the full PCC and discussed and agreed for action where necessary.
Normal ways of meeting, exchanging information and taking things forward through face to face contact had to be suspended for much of the year. Much church work was done at home and on Zoom. Emma Woodworth, our Parish Administrator, and Mike Leddra, Hall Caretaker, worked tirelessly to enable church and community groups to meet in the Hall when they could. Churchwardens ensured welcomers and readers were in church when worship in church (or, as with the Carol Service, outside) was possible. Ian

Love continued his valuable ministry of inviting a wide range of people to offer intercessions at the 10am Zoom Communion. David Fenna became our ‘go to’ Sunday 10am Communion service Zoom host. Throughout the year church cleaners kept the church clean and dusted and the church grounds were maintained to a high standard. Flowers were provided and arranged by our imaginative and skilful flower arrangers.
While there was less cash to count and less linen to clean, work behind the scenes did not stop. David Fenna and Sue Cope continued their skilful oversight of the church’s finances and Will Evans has once again acted as our Independent Examiner. Chris Taylor ensured that visitors to church were greeted by the altar frontals continuing to match the colour of the season in the Church Year. Katharine Ford, our PCC Secretary, kept information flowing between PCC members and between the parish and Diocese in a smooth and efficient manner.
On behalf of all St Peter’s attenders, I take this opportunity to thank all those above – and any whose help might inadvertently have gone unrecorded – for all their efforts and hard work.

Appendix 3 Bristol West Deanery Synod Report 2020 – 2021
Introduction
This has been a year of major disruption and unforeseen changes within our local communities, across society and experienced on a global platform.
Before reflecting upon this Deanery, Bristol West, we must mark our awareness of, and our heartfelt prayers for, all who have been impacted upon by the global pandemic. Those who have lost their lives, those who have died alone and those whose livelihoods have been irreparably taken away; those who have been bereaved, especially when unable to be with and alongside loved ones; those who have fallen ill to the virus and the many who suffer from the long-term health impact; those many whose mental health, sense of wellbeing and spiritual strength has been damaged; and our brothers and sisters in other parts of our world who, in their millions, are suffering now – without the benefit of the support we have had.
We are also aware of the work of health and social care professionals; researchers and scientists and teachers; key workers and all who maintain the fabric of society. For them we give thanks and offer our prayers. As we do for those whose responsibility it is to make decisions on behalf of communities, nations and humanity.
We should also remind ourselves that this year has shone a spotlight upon local and global issues:
-
Racism and minority ethnic groupings
-
Relationship between wealth and health
-
Disjoints between health work and social care
-
Pandemics don’t recognize national borders
-
Human impact on climate change
-
Fundamental importance of social interaction in human wellbeing
Each of us could add to this lengthy list. And in our moments of reflection it does lead us to contemplate our response to Jesus’ answer to the question “Which commandment is the most important of all?”
During 2020 Bristol Diocese extended the period in which parishes could hold their APCMs and also gave permission for them to take place digitally. This created a period of a number of months with parishes in different positions in terms of the election of officers and Deanery Synod Representatives. Only two, of the three, Deanery Synods took place.
Deanery Synod Themes:
First National Lock-Down
The Deanery Synod programmed for 20 May 2020 was cancelled.
To remind ourselves of the context:
-
17 March Suspension of Public Worship
-
23 March Full National Lock Down – all Churches closed
-
15 June Churches allowed to open for Private Prayer
8
Church of St Peter, Henleaze - Annual Report and Financial Statement of the Parochial Church Council for the year 2015
- 5 July Churches allowed to open for Public Worship
This was a time when the church and parishes were starting to learn about the importance of digital worship and on-line communication, finding ways to become more flexible and adaptable to changing circumstances and to recognize the importance of ‘connections’ in human wellbeing.
Learning from the Covid Experience
Deanery Synod on 6 October 2020 focused on our (current) Learning form the impact of the Coronavirus on society and our churches. It was also a time to provide Synod members with the opportunity to talk about and reflect on the experience at a personal level as well as in terms of our communities.
Many topics and subjects emerged in the group discussions and were shared throughout Synod. A brief reminder of a few of the key topics (and not in order of priority) are:
-
Place of the church in local community – many parish churches became the hub of community support, people turned to the church ‘organization’ to enable telephone support, delivery of provisions and medicine and as a communication conduit. Some of the Primary Care Services in Bristol West turned to the church support groups to provide help.
-
Importance of connection in human society – not being able to gather as worshipping communities, families, societies or any other grouping emphasized the significance of actual social interaction for human wellbeing. This was further heightened by the need for social distancing. Strong and clear recognition of significance of social gatherings (and touch) within worship.
-
Recognition of fears and anxieties – People are different. The impact of the virus and the changes in how we live touched people in very different ways, it reinforced the need to recognize difference in our communities. This was especially so in terms of those whose levels of anxiety were heightened and (rightly) shielded themselves risking becoming isolated.
-
Digital knowledge increased – the capability and capacity of churches to respond to these changes digitally increased hugely. No longer are good websites, effective digital communication, streamed (or recorded) services, social media platforms simply ‘nice to have’; they are absolutely essential for the modern church.
-
Occasional Offices, especially the issue of funerals – whilst deaths increased during this time the number of funerals provided by the church decreased. The reasons for this need to be explored. However, the inability of the church to be able to provide effective funeral ministry at such a time was seen as a real loss.
-
Worship of the senses – In particular music within worship was a loss. The experience of these months re-emphasized that worship is not an intellectual process of word and mind alone, but is a worshipful response of the whole body and all the senses.
Transforming Church Together – The Venerable Neil Warwick
Deanery Synod on 11 February 2021 focused upon the Diocesan Agenda of ‘ Transforming Church, Together’ .
9
Church of St Peter, Henleaze - Annual Report and Financial Statement of the Parochial Church Council for the year 2015
This is part of a year-long process to engage with and understand the perspectives of people inside the church, those who relate to it and those who may never have given it a thought. Their aim is to help understand what the diocese does well, what can be changed for the better and how to create a positive way forward, for everyone. The engagement is intended to last until April 2021.
Led by the Archdeacon, Neil, synod responded to a series of questions designed to illicit considered responses as well as creative ideas. During May 2021 we will hear the outcome of this engagement process – into which the thinking of this Synod will be introduced.
However, to give a sense of purpose the questions we addressed were concerned with our church’s response to the issues of: Supporting people; Worship; Equality and justice; Caring for the environment; Helping people follow Jesus; and Providing safe places in communities.
The output from across the Diocese will become an important part of our thinking in the coming year.
The Uganda Link
The essential platform for this is ‘ building relationships of wholeness across culture with Christ at the center ’. In short this is about ‘relationship’; between Christians, across cultures, over geography and with, sometimes, differing views of this world. It is about learning from each other and providing mutual support. The Uganda Link is a feature of every Synod and the working life of our parishes in the Deanery.
Two key thoughts at this time:
-
The impact of the pandemic has been serious and challenging within the UK; in Uganda and many other parts of the world it is disastrous.
-
Additional impacts of the virus have been loss of education opportunity for young women (due to an increase in pregnancies) and an increase in domestic violence.
