Church Attendance
There are 146 names on the Church Electoral Roll. The average Sunday attendance at St Stephen’s and St Julian’s has varied during the year depending on Covid restrictions. At times both churches were closed or the numbers of worshippers had to be restricted.
However, the variety and quality of the live and recorded services has been outstanding, enabling the members of the parish and wider community to feel connected and supported during a very difficult year. The following is just a summary of what has been offered.
Evening and morning prayer had an average count of 20 people watching, although early in March 2020, at the start of the pandemic, it reached as high as 121 people. Tots and Teddies has been enjoyed by an average of 24 families. Sunday Explorers, All age services, ‘Prayer and Praise’ and midweek Holy Communion have been available on line.
Church Services have been well ‘attended’. Numbers have been high for all the major festivals: Palm Sunday 209, Easter Sunday services (combined total) of 208, Remembrance Sunday 250, Advent Sunday 153. The Carol Services totalled 149 plus the congregation of 30 in church.
In the autumn two services were held outside; Climate Sunday with 70 gathered outside plus 61 on line, and later in the month a Pet Service. The midweek Night Prayer continued to be held outside in candlelight until November. The Friday morning prayer time continues each week on Zoom and there is a Zoom chat after the morning service each Sunday.
The PCC wish to record their thanks to Alison Pether, who has has accomplished an amazing task each month, organising the attendances at the three services in the two churches each Sunday, circulating the Pew Sheet and notices to more than 200 people, and completing many other tasks such as sending readings to those needing to record themselves for the services.
Review of the year.
The Parochial Church Council met six times during the year, using Zoom during the months of lockdown. The various committees met between PCC meetings with their reports received by the PCC and discussed where necessary.
The year 2020 was unusual in that the APCM due in April had to be delayed until October 2020. Therefore this report covers the months from April 2020 to the present.
The PCC continues to include Parish Safeguarding as an item for discussion at each meeting. This ensures we are up to date with the rules and regulations and that all necessary training is completed. We are most grateful to Jane Wright for her work in ensuring the parish meets its commitments.
Matters relating to Health and Safety are reported at each meeting and actions taken as necessary.
The PCC took the issues relating to Covid compliance very seriously and spent much time discussing matters such as allocation of places at services, social distancing, safety, signage, track and trace and the guidelines relating to the opening of the halls to make them Covid compliant.
The PCC approved the necessary actions to improve the technology required for the streaming of online services and the provision of an outdoor PA system.
The new Website was launched and the PCC commented on its fresh, bold and visually pleasing style. Thanks to Maggie Dodd were expressed and recorded in the PCC minutes.
Looking towards the possibility of new lay ministry roles in the parish the PCC approved nine volunteers for the Foundations course / Training for Lay Ministries in the Diocese of St Albans. The course is delivered on-line each week for three terms with a written essay to be completed at the end of each term.
Decisions were made relating to donations for many Charities and the church continues to support the community by collecting donations to the Food Bank and Hygiene Bank.
Other matters discussed by the PCC were the replacement of the banner frame near the road, and the possibility of a lit Christmas tree in the churchyard. The PCC was also pleased to hear about the provision of Advent quotes on a board outside church and actual Advent calendars displayed in house windows in Chiswell Green and the Cottonmill area.
The PCC approved the names of Communion Assistants and approved the plan that Open Church was to continue as far as possible by opening the Lady Chapel for private prayer on two or three occasions each week.
The Environment officer presented regular reports about trainings, seminars and reports. The highlight was the completion of the Bronze level of the Eco Church Awards at each church. The Silver awards are close to being completed and the area of Worship is already at Gold level.
Climate Sunday, celebrated outside in September, was the date for receiving the glass jars containing loose change and the official end of the Lighting Fund Campaign which, with other fund raising events, has raised £24,000.
During the year the PCC received regular reports of the plans being made for the installation of replacement lights at St Stephen’s. This work was started in February 2021 and the PCC expressed thanks to Richard Pether for his considerable input with this project.
Finally the members of the PCC unanimously wished to record their appreciation to Becky, Kirsty and Patrick for all that has been done and is continuing to be achieved in order to support everyone in the Parish and wider community during this challenging year.
Mary Willatt, PCC Secretary.

Accounts 2020
Parochial Church Council of St. Stephen's with St. Julian's, St. Albans Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31/12/2020
1 Accounting Policies The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 and the Charities Act 2011 together with applicable accounting standards and the SORP 2005
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Funds
General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted. Restricted funds can only be used for the purposes specified by the giver.
Funds designated for the use of the St. Julian's DCC are shown separately as Designated. The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body or those that are informal gatherings of church members.
Incoming Resources: Voluntary income and capital sources
Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving is recognised only when received. Income tax recoverable on donations is estimated monthly as a debt. This debt is written off when the payment is received. Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is reasonably certain.
Funds raised by the auction, summer fair and similar events are accounted for gross.
Other Income Income from investments There has been no investment income during the year.
Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised when the rental is due.
Resources Used: Grants Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC. Activities directly related to the work of the Church The diocesan parish share is accounted for as sums are paid. Any parish share unpaid at 31 December is provided for in these accounts as an operational (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the Balance Sheet.
Fixed Assets: Consecrated property and movable church furnishings Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by s.96(2) of the Charities Act 1993.
Inalienable Assets:
St. Julian's Church is dedicated and should be accounted for as inalianable property. However, it has not been valued and the cost of valuation is judged to be not worth the benefit obtained. For this reason it is not included in the accounts.
Movable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC, and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted for as inalienable property unless consecrated. They are listed in the church's Inventory which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For inalienable property acquired prior to these accounts, there is insufficient cost information available and therefore no such assets are valued in these accounts.
All expenditure incurred in the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings, individual items under £15,000 or on the repair of movable church furnishings is written off.
Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment
Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over 4 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £15,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.
Investments
There are no investments held.
Current Assets
Amounts owing to the PCC at 31 December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectible. Short term deposits include cash held on deposit either with the CBF Church of England Funds or at the bank.

Accounts 2020
St Stephen's with St. Julian's Parish reserves Policy
By law a charity is not allowed to hoard funds. The PCC has to justify the reserves that it holds. In this context, Reserves are the current assets less the restricted funds: i.e. those funds readily available for any eventuality.
We are required to state a minimum that it is prudent to hold and a maximum that we can justify.
1. Minimum Reserve
Any problems with cash flow may not be identified immediately as income and expenditure fluctuate from month to month. It is considered prudent to ensure that reserve are greater than six month's expenditure to allow three months to identify a problem and another three months for action to show results.
2. Maximum Reserve
Expenditure on Quinquennial items during the five years between quinquennial inspections could credibly reach £150,000. The most that we can justifiably hold in excess of the miminum reserve would be this plus any planned projects.
3. 2020
For 2020 these policies become:
a) Half of 2020 expenditure = £ 78,628 Minimum Reserve Say £80,000 b) Possible projects: Lighting internal 40,000.00 Organ Refurbishment 10,000.00 St. Julian's Vestry 5,000.00 Projection Equipment 35,000.00 St. Julian's Windows 20,000.00 Curate costs 10,000.00 Total £120,000 The maximum reserve for 2020 is therefore £80,000 Quinquennial £150,000 Other £120,000 Maximun Reserve Total £350,000
These limits can be breached - it is merely that the PCC feel it is prudent to attempt to keep the reserves above the minimum and below the maximum.
At the end of 2020 the reserves were £268,778

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE PARISH OF ST STEPHEN'S WITH ST JULIAN'S ST ALBANS I report on the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set out on pages 1 to 10. Respective responsibiltties of the members of the PCC and examlner As members of the PCC, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts and consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144{2) of the Charities Act 2011 {the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The PCC is preparing accrued accounts and l am qualified to undertake the examination by being qualified member of the Insts'tute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales (ICAEW). It is my responsibilty to.. examine the accounts under section 145 ofthe Charities Act 2011., to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by Ihe Charity Commission under section 145{5)Ib) of the 2011 Act-, and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basls of Independent examiners rèport My examination was carried out in accordance with ihe general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review ofthe accounting records kept by the charity and a Gomparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees conceming any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequenlly no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. Independent examlnerfs statemènt In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention= (1 } which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requiremenls.. lo keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or to prepare a¢¢ounts which accord with the accounting records have not been met,. or (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
