Publlc Benefit
The PCC Is a charlty 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 societv
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 every day as a sacred
space and occasionally hosting exhibltlons Sn which any person may spend time in peaceful
reflection or prayer.
The PCC believe5 that these examples illustrate that its activities provide "public benefiv, and so
entltle it to hold the status of being a registered charity. The 8eneral activities of the PCC and the

2023: Llvlng'worshlp God. Make Frlends. Changethe World, as confldence In gatherlng after
the Covld pandemSc returns.
2023 saw life return to something like the normality of pre-covid days- but with the effects of the
pandemic very much evident, with considerable numbers of people being wary of Some of the
commltments that were part of thelr Ilfe before Covid struck. Changes In people's capacltles and
priorities have taken place which have, on occasions, detracted from but, in other ways,
benefitted church life. The implementation of our vision, to see lives transformed by following
Christ in love and service, by worshipping God, makin8 friend5 and changing the world can be seen
in the following report of activities.
The major event of 2023 for St Peter's was probably the gainin8 of our national Eco Church Gold
th
Award - the 40th church in England and Wales to attain this level and the 27 in the Church of
England. Thanks go to everyone in our Eco Cornmittee and its Chalr, Clare Fussell, for steering the
church community to a point where we could apply for Gold Award status in the summer of 2023
and be assessed for it In September- as we were on the 2. Sunday of Creationtide, ioih
September, receiving the 6ood new5 that our application was succe55ful 500n after, The breadth
and thorough integration of our Eco activity into church life - exemplified well by the Clothes Swap
held In June - was particularly commended. Keeping the momentum golng, St Peter'5 attenders
responded In some numbers to an Invltatlon from a PhD student to particlpate in research on the
impact of the climate crlsls on households, The Eco Committee also researched and recommended
an array of solar panels to be placed on the Hall roof during the late autumn - work that wa5
completed with the installation of 16 panels plus good battery storage of the electrlclty produced
In March 2024.
A second project developed overthe course of the year was the move towards creatlng an
approprlate Community Hub for the Henleaze area in preparation for celebratln8 St Peter's
Centenary in 2026. The PCC set itself the task of responding to the question 'What does God want
St Peter's to be In 20267, In 2022 and dlscerned the answer 'God would want St Peter's to enable
Henleaze and the wider community to thrlve by developing a Communlty Hub promotlng good
relationships and partnership across the area., The questions of where a Community Hub might be
situated and what its focus might be were answered during 2023. As recommended by the PCC in
2022, the Vlcar worked with the Mlnister of Trlnity-Henleaze URC, the Rev Nell Thorogood, to
prepare and publish a Community Survey, Issued as a joint Initiative from both churches. The
Survey wa5 made available to every community group the churches could identify and to
individuals attending both the churches and the churches, Halls. The clearest, most P051tive
response came from the Brlstol Dementla Actlon Alliance. Both St Peter's and Trlnity-Henleaze
URC joined the BDAA in the Later Life Network representing charities and commercial care
providers in the Henleaze and wider area at the first opportunity. The Vicar'5 invitation to the
group to consider creating a Later Life Community Hub to fill the Lower Ground Floor of 5t Peter's
Hall was greeted enthuslastlcally. A site vlslt by reps from the group led to an archltect belng
recommended by a member ofthe group and engaged by St Peter's in the autumn to draw up
plans for the siting of a Hub in this area. The plans were submitted in Decernber and have since
been costed, with further work on the development and funding of this project now taking place.
It Is hoped and Intended that a Later Life Communlty Hub be In place for St Peterfs Centenary in
2026.
Gathering for worship and fellowship and house groups continued smoothly throughout the year.

Church ttf St Pètèr, Henleatr- Annual Report and Financial Statemerf of the Parochial Church Councll forthe ygar 2023
The 2022 Easter Sunday 10am experience of holding the service outside because of Covid was
repeated in 2023- not because of Covid but because it was thought holding the service outside
would attract non-regular worshippers to it and would be refreshing for the regular congregatlon.
Thls proved to be the case, on both counts. A number of Sunday 10am servlces contlnued to be
designated 'AII In, services- where the young people and children attended the whole service and
contributed to its planning and leading. Our Youth Group met on Monday evenings in church and
the Sunday morning children's group Met in termtime throughout the year, with space and
reso(Jrces being made available for children on Sunday mornings In the holldays too, Our thanks
go to Slmon Collins, our Youth Worker, to Sarah Thomas, supportlng the Youth Group, and to
Paula Robinson and everyone contributing to the Children's activities, under our curate Kandis
Douglas, able supervision. Footprints, our Monday morning Toddler Group led by Kathy Kilgour,
Sarah Hardiman and Jenny Daunton-Fear, continued to thrive, reaching capacity and now needing
waiting list. Increased interest and willingness among young families to corne to services was
wltnessed at Chrlstmas when the Crlb Service was held twlce on Chrlstmas Eve and the 10am
Christmas Day service was particularly well supported by regulars and vi51tors.
The mlx of formal and Informal worshlp on which St Peter's seems to thrive was malntained
throughout the year. Sunday's 8am Holy Cornmunion is 'said' and 'traditional' The 10am Holy
Communlon Is 'tradltlonal' In Its use of Iltur8y and the Lettlonary but opportunltles contlnue to be
taken to develop its breadth and style. To this end, a new Order of Service to celebrate the 5 week
season of Creationtide was produced and more contemporary hymns and songs have been sun8 In
worship, introduced and sensitively led by Phil Coomber, our Director of Music, and an
Increasln8ly actlve group of Instrumentallsts and sln8ers. The Slngin8 Group, led by Joy Hollamby
and Lizzie Reader, continue to enhance St Peter's worship by singing choral pieces whenever they
can and by making a major and very welcome contributlon to St Peter's Carol Servlce,
Sunday's 7.30pm Zoom Servlce developed Its pattern durlng the year so that it now generally a

open service, for anyone to attend, but the regular attenders number 10- one of whom started to
attend in April 2023 and lives south of Bath. As with all services and virtual 8atherin8s, fellowshlp
Is enhanced by meetlng together In person over food - and thls is the case both for the 8am
Sunday congregation which has gathered occ35ionally for coffee and crolssants after worshlp but
also for the 7.30pm Sunday congregatlon whlch now gathers occasionally for Bring and Share
Suppers. Fellowship after worship is also a key feature of the Thursday 10.30am Holy Communlon
with the chat over refreshments In the Servery to which everyone repairs often lasting as long as

St Peter's Small Groups continued their pattern of meeting over the year, Thanks go to Helen and
Simon Collins, to Sean Quinn and to Andrew Daunton-Fear for leading the House Groups. Belief in
Poetry, the Zoom group meetinE on Wednesdays at 5.30pm and reading and reflecting on poetry
from a Christian perspective, considered a wide variety of poems collected in two anthologies in
the first half of the year and then tackled Tennyson's epic The Ryme of the Ancient Mariner in the
autumn, finding rnany rlch velns for theologlcal dlscusslon and reflectlon. Already attended bv
thirteen people from St Peterf5, St Marfs Stoke Bishop, Cotham Parish Church and Woodlands
Church, the group added an attender from each of Redland Park URC and Christchurch, City during
the year. Ecumenical learning also occurred in Lent when St Peter's and Trinity-Henleaze URC held
a Lent Group each, on a joint basis.

ChurGh of St Petqr. HBnlea2o- Annual Repurt and Flnanclal Statement of the Parochlal Church Councll for the year 2023
Entering its second year of operation, Saturday morninds Come in for Coffee continued to thrive,
offerinE people in the community and those connected with St Peter's coffee, tea, biscuits land
sometimes cakell and a chance to chat and get to know a wide variety of people better. It is good
to report that the welcome offered on Saturday morning means that one ortwo people have
become attenders of our services at other tlmes of the week.
Throughoutthe year, thought was given and steps were taken to respond to people's changing
needs through the pastoral care St Peter's offers. Those with mobility 155ues who find getting to
church dlfflcult or Imposslble were provided with Home Communion on a regular basis. Plans were
laid for the holding of Fellowship Teas- whereby everyone who sees St Peter's as 'thelr church,
would be invited, over the course of time, to a tea party providing opportunities to meet attenders
from their own and different services at a primarily social occasion. Planning also took place to
develop a Prayer Chain for requests for prayer to be taken up as and when requested. The fruits of
thls plannlng became evldent, on both counts. at the start of 2024.
St Peter's care for others is not confined, however, to its attender5. Reflecting our commitment to
'Make Friend5, and 'Change the World,, St Peter's has been supporting a Syrian refugee family to
Ilve wlthin the heart of Henleaze and enable them to thrive in a settln8 and culture very dlfferent
to that which they came from. 2023 was the flfth year of thls Inltiatlve and marked the point at
which the family would need new housing and to make their way in thls country wlthout speclflc
government support for those of refugee status. 'Henleaze Hospitality, is the name of the small
group of attenders who have been overseeing and provldlng support for the famlly's parents, in
relation to employment and relatlonshlps wlth school and medical authorlties, and for the family's
chlldren, In relatlon to readin& homework and other issues. 2023 ended wlth the famlly stlll-
unexpectedly- in their Henleaze home: at the tlme of wrltlng (April 20241 supporting them in thelr

Two other events are worthy of record. The first Is the thorou8h update 8lven to St Peterfs
webslte, the new format being launched early in the year, all designed both to be mobile phone
frlendly and to be 'invitational'
not putting every bit of Informatlon ImaElnable about St Peter's
on the website but giving people a taste and encouraging them to make further contact and,
where possible, experlence St Peter's Ilfe and actlvltles for themselves. The second event is the
revlval, after a three year Covid-induced break, of our Ale and Arty Charlty Festlval. Held on 18
th
November, it saw the church once agaSn thronged wlth people browslng and buying from craft
stalls, enjoying a range of beverages and, in the evenin8, dancin8 energetically to the stralns of the
Jig Mad Wolf Band. Some £1800 was raised through It for local charities.
Underlying this public activity is the quiet and regular servlce of many people, contributlng thelr
time and talents in a whole variety of ways. Our thanks go to our Honorary Curate, K3ndis Douglas,
to our Llcensed Lay Mlnisters and retlred clergy preachers, to the Church's Officers (its
Churchwardens, Treasurer and PCC Secretaryl, PCC members and Independent Auditor of
Account5, to those who maintain and beautify the church (including the Site Committee,
sacristans, church cleaners, flower arrangers, and money counters), the church garden Imowers,
planters and pruners), those who contrlbute to servlces (including wardens, readers, intercessors
and coffee makers) and to our Parish Administrator, Emma Woodworth, ably a$5iSted by Mike
Leddra as Hall Caretaker.
