2021 Reports and Accounts of the Parochial Church Council of St Augustine's Church, Ipswich Alrns & Purposes The method of appointment of PCC membèrs is set out in the Church Representation Rules. All church attendees are eThcouraEed to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. Objectlves and Activities St Augustlne's PCC had the responslbility of co-operating Wlth the incumbent Revd Al Metcalfe, in promoting In the ecclesiastical parish the whole vision of the church which is: o play our part Sn the rtrevangellsatlon of the natlon, the revltallzatlon otthe church, ènd the transformatlon of socle as people Come to falth In God through our mlsslon to.. 'KnowJesus, show hls love and make hlm known., The PCC also has maintenance re5ponslbilities for the Church Complex (Church, Lantern Room and Church Halls). Elertoral Role and Attendance The Electoral Roll preparèd for the 2021 Annual Church Meetlng showed 209 on the Church Elertoral Roll, 83 of whom were not resldent within the parish and 126 who were resident. The avera8e weekly attendance at worship, counted in Ortober, was 86 adults and 17 children Isunday onlyl and 115 adults and 17 chlldren (including Thursday morning Holy Communion). stlll significantly down on prevlous years because of coronavlrus measures. Coron•vlrus PJndem5c 2021 was another year marked by the effects of the Covld-19 pandemic in the UK. January 6 saw the country enterlng a third national lockdown, dramatically affecting every area of our national Ilfe Including commerce, culture, education and places of worshlp. Much of the rest of the year was governed by a 'Roadmap'i Wlth the government gradually lifting restrictions as a vast vaccination proBramme was gradually rolled out. Llfe began to return to an approximation of normality in the autumn but by the end of the year, threats of a new and more conta8lOU5 variant of the coronavirus affected many peoplds plans for celebrating Christmas and New Year. As a result, 2021 will be remembered as another uniquely challenging year to run a church or be part of one but St Augustine's church family responded with faith and resilience to the changing circumstances thank5 to a strong leadership team, a unfced PCC and two committed church warden5.
The Year In Review January to March The year began with the decision to tske our Sunday worship back online only, after a few months of in- person (but greatly restricted) gatherings at the end of 2020. Services were a1n livestreamed from inside the church, made possible by a dedicated team of musicians and technical volunteers. A new teaching serie5 The New Nomial, took us through the Gospel of Mark up to Easter. In February we began a popular'coffee and chay tlme on Zoom after each Sunday's servlte, hosted by different individuals or couple5 from their home each week. We also experimented with streamed extended worship times called'soaking., We resumed In-person services at the end of March, with booking required to manage the restrirtion on capacity. Prayer Onllne continued twice weekly on Monday eveninBS (hosted by Sarah Stone) and Thursday mornings (hosted by Matt and Amy Keyl. Chlldrerfs mlnlstry continued online thanks to a dedicated team led by Melissa Naish with a Monday afternoon meeting called 'Kid5ConnecV, online Music & Rhyme sessions and Bible artivity packs via email for parerbts to do with kids. Our youn8 people also met on sunday mornings online, and experimented with 'walk and talk, sessions. While many of our gathered communlty I'Conn•cY} groups were still on hiatus, some continued throughout the spring lockdown, including our popular signing group. We ran a second online Alpha Course and saw four people choosing to follow Jesus as result later In the spring. In Januaryi we mourned the passing of Ann Box•ll, a long-standing and well-respected member of our church family. Ann was a Reader, former Girl Guiding leader, and had responsibility for many area5 of church Ilfe overthe years. A funeral and thanks8lving service were shared onllne Sn February. On January 31 and after numerou5 delays, we commissioned and sent lan and Julie DanSels and a small team to formally be8ln Llndbergh Road Communlty Church. Archdeacon Rhlannon Kln8 lolned us for this important mlltstone event-the first of two new churches to be planted from St Augustine's over two yèars. A vision night for the second ol these, Rlwr Church, took place In February as a team began to form around our curates Amy and Matt Kev. PCC, Leadershlp and Mlnlstry Team meetlngs were all held regularly online. A new Flnance ond Glvln8 Group was convened to work on behalf of the PCC to address long-standing i55ue5 Wlth OLtr flnances, chaired by Al, wlth a membership of Tim Nalsh, Jenny Grace, Donna Finch and Graeme Richardson. An early focu5 wa5 dlscusslon of the future of the Church Halls- maklng them sustainable agaln, and Indeed profit-makin8. Throughout thls time. our network of cler8y and group leaders provlded pastoral care to our large congregation vla telephone and Zoom calls and walks in the open air. Al began a regular'vicarfs newslette to around 100 people who had not been able to acces5 our services online and contlnuèd wlth thi5 through until the autumn. A team put together and delivered blessing bags for volunteers at our local vaccinatron centre. On March 23, there was a national minute's sllence to show support for thè millions of people who've been bereaved. That nlght we lit up the outside of the church and tower In yellow, attracting attention on social media. April to August We reopened our doors for in-person Sunday worshlp at the familiar times of 93m and 10.30 in time for Easter. Although we were still unable to sing in church under government restrictions, we got around this bv ending each service outside and singing loudly each week. After Easter we began 3 new sermon series called Page 4 of 19
'Grace Is the Word., taking a deep dive into the gift of God's grace. This wa5 followed in the summer by a series through the Old Testament book of Daniel. Children's and youth ministry continued as in the sprin introducin8 OUtdooT Hippo Trails as the weather improved. Later in the summer, Surnmer Fun sessions in local parks helped to gather our children back together. We brought together our whole leadership team for a Saturday morning on April 17. It was incredible to finally worship together In person again, to look back on all that had happened since lockdown and to begin to share a vision for the future. We also convened a new team to rewew and develop our ¢ommuni¢atlons. especially soclal medla. A new team formed around Andrew and Jenny Grace to look after the gardening and grounds, includSng renovations to the church halls, now branded the St Au8UStln¥s Community Hub. We ¢onducted a userfs consultstSon on the future of the Hub, which concluded with a new ylslon document, hlrlng pollcy and a fresh way forward In time for reopening in the autumn. Our APCM In May was a 'hybrid' meeting, with some attendlng in person and some online. We reelected Nigel Cook and Graeme Rlchardson as Church Wardens. Al's address was focused on thankSng those who served above and beyond during the Incredible challenges of 2020 Ilnterre8nums arè dlfficult even wSthout lobal pandemicsll with a special mentlon to Revd lan Danlels who chalred the Interlm senlor leadershSp team. Thy Kln8dom Come, the Archblshops, annu31 prayer focus ran from 13 to 23 May and agaln was a'hybrid, event. Prayer bags were put together and delivered to those who could not make it to church. There wa5 also a hybrid Half Nlght of Prayer, walklngi runnSng or cycllng at Prayer on the Move, and the more Sedate Cake and Prayer. In June, we had the loy of baptlzlng by full Immerslon three adult believers, two of whom became Chrlstians on our gprinB Alpha wur5e. On the same day, we celebrated wSth Revd Alec George, retlred clergy In our parlsh, the 50th annlversary of hi5 prlestlng. We ran a stewardshlp campalgn In June, following a short series on Money and Givin& as part of the FGG'S focus on increasing giving from within the church famlly. Our F•mlly Funday in July was a hu8e 5ucces5- a time for the chLbrch famlly to reconnect and meet new frlends a5 we threw open the doors to the Church, Hub and our 8round5, wlth a bouncy castle, loads of games, BBQ and train rldes. At the end of July we moved into 'Step 4, of the Governmenys roadmap whlch meant wè no longer requlred booking for servlces and we could sing indoor5 again. tt was no longer mandatory to wear a face coverln8 inside church, but we continued to suggest that people dld, e5pecSally while sin8ingi in1Sne with m05t shops, theatres and other places where people gather indoors. September to December The Autumn saw the church taking several positive steps toward5 getting backto normal. We Increased the capacity of our Sunday services, removed the requirement to book and resumed servin8 refreshments but attendance was very slow to build. A teaching Series exploring what the Bible has to say about The Heart kicked off the Autumn, followed by Harvest, Remembrance services and a visit from a special guest lohnnv Douglas. In Advent, we looked at characters in the Christmas story who were 'Changed by Jesus even before he was born., trailing a new seriesthrough the Gospel of Luke for the 5prSng of 2022. A new Thursday Morning Communlon service was launched in the lantern Room, building on a popular gathering at Broke Hall House priorto the first lockdown. An enthusiastlc and commltted team, including clergy from neighbouring parishe5 makes this popular weekly service su5t3inable. Our popular seniors, Lunch aub opened again on a monthly basis thanks to leadershipfrom Jenny Grace and a team. Pa e5of19
Our Hub complex saw an uptick in bookings as more groups and organisations returned to meeting regularly. These included previous regulars, the loc31 Guldlng and Scouting groups, Flower Club, Women's Institute and others. New regular hirers, including our local NHS Pulmonary Rehab clinic, have improved the financial outlook, while making space for local community groups such as the Suffolk Soul Singers. The church continues to 5UPPOrt the valuable work of Home for Good with a pro bono regLtlar booking in the Lantern Room. Sadly around th(% time, the Mothers, Union branch associated with the church decided to close. Some members continue to be part of our popular Ladies, Group,. some have joined other local branches. The Autumn also saw a return to regular pastoral visiting of the elderly and housebound, although local hospitals and c3re homes remained c105ed to most visEtors. Our BereavÈmentJourney team led by Linda Denness and Liz Mears ran their first course in two years, gratefully recelved and complemented by the return of the memorlal servlce in Ortober. A church memorial Service for Mariorle Wakellng saw the chtlrch full for the flrst time in memory as people came to paytribute to a much m1s5ed great woman of falth. Holiday at Home steering group decided not to go ahead with a Christmas gathering and to leave resuming mlni5try until 2022. In September, the Rlver Church team which had been forming throughout the year around our curates Amy and Matt Key hosted on open e¥enln¥ for St Augu5tlne'5 at whlch we worshlpped and prayed together for the 20 or so from our congregation who would be officially sent In january. However, once a Bishop's Mi551on Order had been signed, River Church wa5 permitted to begin Meeting publicly from September 29 to ¢at¢h student5 arriving in the town at the start of the academic year. Amy and Matt's involvement in St Au8U5tlne'5 reduced conslderably but they technlcally remalned Curates at st Augustlnd5. As the Autumn drew on, we began to see more lovely glimpses of the church communlty gradually coming back to life, new people joining u5 on Sundays (some of whom found us online over lockdown) and old frlend5 returning. A large welcome lunch gathered 15 new people together wlth existing members. Our E•rty Mornlng Prayer ea¢h week on Thursdays became a wbrant place of vlsion and intercession, whlle Prayer Onllnè on Monday evenlngs continued with strength. Many of our Connect Groups fell Into abeyance during the lockdown, but some survived, continu5ng to meet to encourage one another and pointing the way forward for a renewal of this important area of Church life in 2022. A leaders. weekend wlth Johnny Dougla5 encouraged and strengthened our whole leadershlp team. The TLC Renew Wellbeln£ Cafe opened its doors In October 2021, offering weekly safe space for people strugglin8 Wlth loneline55 and mental health issues. Thls Is a successful outworking of our mlsslon both to grow in soclal actioni provldlng space 'where it's ok not to be ok, and extend our worship offerlng with contemplatlve prayer. In the closlng months of the year, a new wave of COVID-19 because of a highly transmissible variant meant that some Christmas events later in December were regrettably cancelled, but others, such as the long- standlng EACH Chrlstmas Carol Servl¢e went ahead with great success. We celebrated the end of another complex and demanding year in the knowledge that even In the darkest times, God Is with us in Jesus. LRCCYear In R iew Officially launched in January 2021, knndbèrgh Road Communlty Church ha5 seen a year of growth in all areas. A soft stsrt of our artivtties stemmed back to mid 2020 in the midst of the pandemic. During the lockdown atthe start of 2021 a core group of 6 (the original core team of 4 plus two other51 met weekly on zoom. From Easter onwards as restrictions gradually eased we met outside every Sunday afternoon, mana8ln8 ourselves according to the rule of 6 initially and then expanding as it became po55ible. We launched the highly successful Game5 on the Green initiatlve ftsr local families with f¢Jnding and 5UPPOrt Page 6 of 19
from our local borough councillors and thanks to generous grants from a number of other organi5ations we have been able to continuously dellver detached yovthwork (being out on the streets, meeting young people where they are? as well as launch a new local initiative called Youth Connect, prowding opportunities for mentoring, skSlls training and support for young people. In collaboration with another Inspiring Ipswich group, Engage Raven5wood, we launched a monthly Messy Church in September, building on our pre*ious work sending out Messy Church in a bag since April,. then in October we began meeting weekly for worship, prayer and teaching, including a monthly communion. LRCC produces a monthly update- you can register to receive it by contarting revian@lrccipswich.org.uk or lust speak to lan or lulle. LRCC leads through three strands- our adults, our youth, and our children and famllie5. We wanted to finish by sharing some blessings and reflectlons from the year. From the adults work: We have spent some time exploring the idea of meetlng to be fed in one place and meetinB to serve in another. Thls has come out of a sense of ¢alllng two of our regular attendees felt growln8 In them over some tlme. They have been regular worshippers at a Baptist church for several years. That church recently sent people out to plant and also to reenergi5e other church families- they le the call to do somethin8 but clearly God also called them not to go on any of the other teams. When LRCC came alon8 they were led to us wf(h a strong sense of God doing something exclting In thls area. I thlnk Isometimes without knowing it) they contSnually bring prophetlc words to us and great encouragement. They have amazing hearts for God and in conversation with someone else on the LRCC team we both agreed we discerned God brlnging them into leadership at LRCC In the future. From the youth work: We have been greatly encouraged and afflm)ed through the support from Ipswlch Borough Councll and other local agencies. They are seeln8 things In what we are doing that Is tran5formatlonal for the young people in thls nelghbourhood. One young per50n, met whllst out on detached youthwork, raised safeguarding concerns for the team. These were of course reportèd. We later foLsnd out that we had provided the last critical piece of the puzzle of what was really going on for that young person and as a result the proper inteNentions could be made. OL+r youth work Is also opening opportunities with other members of staff worklng with young people at Inspire Suffolk. They're all curlous about what we are doin8 and why,. and when one pops in to ask"So what actually happeng at a Bible study?" we praise and thank God for putting us in the right places. From the chlldren and famllies work It is amazing to be able to work with children, their families, and other adults all together on a Sundav evening. We all look at the same Bible reading but in age-appropriate ways. There are challenges at times but there are great blessings as the children ble5S the adults with their creatlvity and inslghts. We have been continulng to build a great relationship with staff at Insplre Suffolk which has led to a potential opportunlty to work with them to create a family friendly space with potential openings for the local community and more targeted work with toddlers in the future. We believe that God is opening door5 there to create something desperately needed.
Deanerysynod Three members of the PCC stt on the Ipswich Deanery Synod, along Wlth our clergy. This provide5 the PCC wf(h an important link between the Parish and the wider structures of the Church in Ipswich. The meetings continue to be missional, inspirational, relational and pastoral intricately linked with the aims and aspirations of Inspiring Ipswich. Meetings continued to be held via Zoom. In February, the Revd. Charlotte Cook of Westerfield was licensed as Asslstant Area Dean, Helen Smith was commissioned as Inspiring Ipswich Administrator and Prayer Facilitator and Revd Canon Tim Montgomery Lead on the Transforming Wlgan Projert gave an insight into the workings of the project and asked some searching questions to aid Synod in our quest to Inspire Ipswich and further the Kingdom. In June, Katherine Ahluwalia presented the work of Lighthouse Women's Aid and shared key learnlng point5 on domestic abuse whlch has increased slnce the lockdowns brought about by the pandemic, and OLEr own curates Amy and Matt formally introduced the vision for Rlver Church to the deanery. In November, the national 'Living in Love and Faith, project was introduced and discussed with the goal of 'llstening compassionately and becoming informed., Building5 and Management Offlce employees: Due to the ongoln8 lockdowns and uncertalnty about the future, the PCC made the decSslon on the advice of our Flnance and Giving Group to make the post of part-time Parish Admlnistrator redundant at the beglnnlng of the year, keeping open the post of part-time Treasurer. At the end of the 2021, our treasurer Oonna Flnch gave notice to return to a positlon with EnBland Netball. Graham Denne5s continued to work as part-time cleaner acro55 the church and Hub romplex. Church Complem Renovations began on the church halls, now branded the St AugustSne'5 Community Hub. We conducted a userfs constsltatlon on the future of the Hub, whlch concluded with a new vlsSon document, hirinB pollcy and fresh way forward in time for reopening In the autumn. While occupancy to that point was mSnlmal, we began to build up bookings from hirers old and new as the year came toward5 an end. Page 8 of 19
