Financial review
Total income in the year increased to £404.000 12022: £339,OQO} as a result of
increases in grants of £31,000 (induding £25,000 from The Bowennan Charitable
Trust), donations of £22,000, deposit interest of £6,000. fund raising activities of
£4,000 and in other trading acaivities (fees, lettings etc} of £2,000.
Total expenditure in the year increased to £340,000 (2022". £310,000) due to
increases in missionary and charitable giving of £10,000, parish Offi￿ salary costs of
£6,000, utilty costs of £7,000, youth and children's work costs of £4,000, fund raising
adivtties of £3,000, trading a¢tivities of £2,000 and other costs of £5,000. This was
offset by lower costs of repairs to buildings and equipmerrt of £7,000.
The diocesan parish share was £87,000 (2022.. £85,000). The element of the parish
share that relates directly to parish ministry costs (PMC) was £79,000 {2022:

£77,000). A donation of 100A of PMC amounting to £8,000 (2022.. £8,000) was made
to support other parishes in the Deanery.
The net result for the year was a surplus of income over expenditure of £64,000
{2022'. £29,000).
A further £3,000 (2022.. £3,000) was designated to cover the repair costs that are
likely to arise following the 2024 Quinquennial Inspection of the church building.
The total funds carried foFward at 31 December 2023 amount to £368,000 12022:
£304,000) made up of unrestricted general funds of £298.000 (2022: £258,000).
unrestricted designated funds £44,000 {2022: £40,000) and restricted funds of
£26,000 {2022.' £6,000).
Risks
The PCC have reviewed and assessed the risks relating to its activities and are
satisfied that they have taken all reasonable steps to limti or provide cover for any
major risks.
Reserves policy
The PCC reseNes policy is to maintain a balan￿ of unrestricted funds which
equates to approximately 3 months general payments plus designated amounts for
known fLrture ￿pair projects to church premises and equipment.
At 31 De￿mber 2023 this reserves policy equated to £122,000 {2022: £116,000).
Free reserves at the current year end are in excess of this amount by approximately
£218,000 (2022 £180,000) exduding reserves held as fixed assets. The PCC
anticipate utilising these reserves over the next four years to contribute to the
additional costs artsing from the appointment of an Assoaate Vicar in 2024.
Investment Policy
It is our policy to invest our fund balan￿S on short and medium temi deposits with
banks and financial institLrtions to maximise income retums whilst minimising
investment risk.
Public Benefft
For many years the advancement of religion has automatically been accepted as
charitable. Under the Charities Act 2011 this conlinues to be charitable but the Act
contsins an overarching requirement that there must be a public tknefft.
The PCC has paid due regard to the Chaiity Commission's guidance on public
benefrt and strongly bÈliÈve that the holding of services for the worship of God and
the Lord Jesus Christ, preaching and expounding the Word of God, the Bible, holding
dasses for the instrudion of adults and children in the Word of God, and providing
any other activty which will promote the Word of God and lead people to faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour is for public benefft.
We also believe that our many and varied aGtivtties as a churth provide practical
support and care for people living in the parish. from the youngest to the eldest. as

well as providing financial support to other outreach organisations working in the UK
and missionaries overseas.
Review of the year
2023 has been a gc>od, though unusual, year for St Margaret's Church. It has
included a 3 month sabbatical forthe Recior during the Summer, the departure of our
Curate for his n&xt post at the end of his curaGy. and much thought and prayer about
the optirnum staffing structure for our Church moving forward. Despite these staffing
issues, there has been lfttle visible diminution in our ministry both within the Church
family and to the wider communrty. The gospel has advanced, we believe, and we
are in good heart for 2024.
The year started with 4 Sunday moming semons on the new strapline we had
adopted for the Church, namely 'Sharing God's love,. It was good to remind one
another of the love of G¢xf, and to encourage one another to see that this love is to
be embraced personally, and then shared widely in our communty, country and
world. This set the tone well for our ministry through0￿ the coming year.
January also saw a number of key events including the annual moming for women in
the Church called 'The Vine.. The theme was 'Women of the Word who walk in the
worfd, with different speakers leading a variety of seminars. This was well attended
and wdely appreciated. We also had a men's breakfast with the title 'Men and work,,
and this hugely practical theme was helpful to those who attended. The Alpha course
continued, and a new 'Hope Explored, and 'Marriage Course, started. Together wth
the start up of our regular ministries, January was a busy. bLrt positive, start to the
year.
Our Church Council gave some attention in January and February to an issue that
was being considered by the General Synod of the Church of Engand in February.
This related to the proposal to allow churches to conduct seNices for same sex
couples, praying for God's blessing on them. Historically, St Margaret's has not
devoted much of its time to debate such issues, but we felt that we couldn't properly
ignore this one. We spent time at Iwo consecutive meetings discussing this sensitive
matter in a calm, prayerful way, with everyone being given the opportunty to
participate. By the end of February, it was clear that the majority of the PCC wanted
to combine charity to all, with clarity about the issue in hand, and so we passed a
resolution that St Margaret's Church 'would not be offering the services and prayers
outlin&id in p￿YerS of Love and Faith, since we believe that SUGh prayers are
depathng fmm SciTptuTr'. The vast majortty of comments that we received from
members of the Church family were wholly supportive of this stance.
During February and March, a considerable amount of time was devoted by the
Rector to Ihe planning of his sabbatical over the Summer, and the practical
implications for ministry during his absence.
March included a number of signrficant events including a br8akfast for women. and
also an evangelistic 'curry and quiz, evening designed for men and their friends at a
local pub. We have found that this fom* works well for men, whose friends often are
more willing to ac￿pt an invitation to a neutral venue like a pub than a Church
building. We also had a moming led by Robert Lovatt for all the leaders of the
Homegroups in our church. It was good to spend time together, sharpening our

understanding of the role. leaming how we can do tt even better, and supporting one
another.
April inctuded Easter, and we were pleased by the way that we linked our All Age
sewices from Palm Sunday through to Good Friday and then Easter Sunday, with
over 300 coming to Church on Easter Sunday. It was also good to have a 'Passover
type meal, on Maundy Thursday, wrth some excellent food and drink ktndly provided
by Jen Brown and Jo Noonan. We experimented wilh a '3 hours at the Cross, on
Good Friday afternoon, instead of the normal 'Hour at the Cross, bebNeen 2 to 3pm,
using members of the Church family to give devotional inputs. This was only a partial
success, with light numbers for the first two hours, and much stronger numbers for
the more familiar 2 to 3pm slot.
The Annual church meeting t¢)ok place in April, after a Sunday moming service, and
there was a receptive, united atmosphere evident, for which we give thanks.
April finished ￿th the baptism of 2 adults who had come to faith during the Alpha
course. It was wonderful to see people whose lives had so cleatly been touched by
the Spirit of God giving lestimonies to their new faith in Christ, embracing the rich
symbolism of baptism, and being warmly welcomed by their new brothers and sisters
in Christ. It was a truly joyful occasion.
Between 24 April and 24 July, the Rector and his wife enjoyed a period of sabbatical
leave. They used this for physical and spiritual refreshment, and their tirne included
Vistts to 6 other Churches, study in the Psalms, walking much of the South Downs,
and some holiday with their fami5y. Whilst the Rector was away, the leadership of the
Church was in the hands of our Curate, Rev Ben Lucas, ably supported by the staff
team, Churchwardens and retired clergy. Ben rose well to this challenge, and the
pace of ministry continued well throughout the Summer period.
May started with a special 'AII Age, service to mark the coronations of King Chades
3, and his wrfe, Camilla . Later in the month there was a weekend when our mission
partners, Dave and Becky Wateman from Mission Aviation Fellowship, visited us.
There was a visf( by some of our women to the Creative Hearts venture in
Littlehampton, and a men's breakfast.
June and July were very busy months for our Leader of Ministry to Under 18s and
Families, Chris Wilson, in that in additson to his regular activities, both in the Churth,
Churth Hall and the School, he also assisted at and gave talks at 2 residentials
organised by our Church School, St Margaret's, off site. These are very valuable
opportunities, and we give thanks to G¢xl that this door of opportunity is still wide
open at this school, with regular assemblies, lunch dubs and residentials.
We were pleased in June to run another 'Fun Day, on Fletcherfs Field. We estimate
that approximately 800-1,000 attended, induding at least 100 children who
completed a craft activity in the main church building. This day gives us a brilliant
opportunty to engage with our community, inviting them to a high quality, mostlyfree,
day during which they can enjoy many activities, listen to music, eat burgers, enjoy a
magic show given by a Christian magician, and n￿et other villagers and members of
the Church community. It is always appreuated by the villagers, and raises our
profile in the village, though it is of COLtrse hard to gauge its spirttual impa¢t. We
believe bt is a very positive thing to do, and we aim to learn lessons each year how to
do it even better in future years. Many thanks are due to Leanne Kyle for the key role

sh& played tTf delivering the Fun Day, together with other members of th& staff tearTT,
and the 70 or so members of the church family who volunteered to help.
During the course of the Summer, Chris Wild and John Heaton did some very
valuable work on how we can as a Church engage even better with our local
community. We feel that we are strong at hosting seNices and events that people are
warmly invited to come to, but perhaps less strong at getting involved with groups in
our local communty where we can 'shine like stars, and be 'salt and light., The report
encouraged us to think particularly about a possible collaboration wilh Arun Youth
Projed and also to think about how we might become a Church community hub, for
example in being the base for an after-school club to be established by Family
Support Work in due Cou￿. We ar& giatefut to Chiis and John for the many hours
they invested in research, interviews, analysis and producing the report. which led to
more thought and adion when the Rector got back from his sabbatical and ind*d
throughout the Autumn.
June finished with a camping weekend for men (called 'Con-Tented') at a venue near
Fontwdl. Thts is a chance for mert to get to- know eath other better, to enjoy some
inspiring practical teaching, and to encourage each other in their Christian lives.
Though attendan￿ wasn't huge (mainly because men havÈ $0 many other demands
at weekends) it was a valuable time.
The main focus of July was preparation for the Holiday Club at the end of the month,
where c90 chiklren of primary school age gathered in Church to enjoy a space
themed week. This Could only happen due to the contributions of all the volunteers,
so much thanks are due to them, and for Chris Wilson's hard work in planning the
week in advance and delivering the programme during the week. It has been good to
see many {largely unchurthed) ¢hildren coming to the Fun Day, then onto the
Hdiday Club, then on ta the LIW Paty and ther¥ back. at. Christmas. We reioiGe in
this progression but would obviously love to see them become part of our regular
Sunday ministry too.
July was also taken up with Ben Lucas handing over some of his responsibilities to
others prior to moving orrto his new role in Lindfield in August.
Then on 24 July, the Rector retumed from his sabbatical to St Margaret's. It was
widely noticed that he had bener￿ed from the time away, and he came back
renewed with a fresh energy and zeal in ministry. He ar7d Susan were very pleased
to be back amongst the Church family and local communrty.
August was spent getting ready for the new temi, ¢onsoous that we would miss Ben
and Emily Lucas since they had both made suth signsFicant contributions to the ItFe of
St Margaret's during their 3 years with us. A small number of teenagers went to the
Brymore Camp in Somerset. and dea]ly had a very happy and positive time on all
fronts, induding spiritually. It was good to baptise another adult at the 5pm service at
the end of August.
September was a very busy month on many fronts. It started with the largest Gentral
prayer meeting we have had for years, as people were interested to hear the
Rectorfs report on his sabbatical and insights gained from the Psalms and visits to
other Churches. We started a sermon series based on the Psalms on Sunday
momings. and followed these sermons up tn mary of the Homegrot4)s in cl￿rCh,

and people generalty found these very helpful. The sermons at the 5 on the very
practical letter of James were also appreciated.
We had a breakfast for women in September to launch the new year under the
inspiring title of 'The unchangeable God who Ghanges lives, and this led to some well
attended evening talks for ladies on people whose lives were changed by God. There
was a men's breakfast at which a church mernber who had been in the amed
services spoke about his expèriences. The Sussex Gospel Partnership started a new
2 year bible training course in Angmering and a number of our church members
joined up, and are benefrtting from it. We also started a new Alpha course, and we
were delighted by the large numbers of spiritually interested people who signed up.
On top of all these other events, we also had another 'Church Weekend at Home,.
and we were pleased that a good proportion of our church family attended. Our
speaker was Rev Ben Martin , a forrner member of staff at St Margaret's and now a
curate at Bishop Hannington Church, Hove. Ben spoke powerfully and helpfully on
the grfts that God lavishes on his Church from Roman$ 12 on the Saturday, and then
on the same theme. but from a different part of the Scripturé, on the Sunday. It was
good to be together again, and be inspired by God's grace to use our grfts in his
se￿1￿ and to his glory. Many thanks to David Boreharn who led on the
administration of this weekend.
At the Church Counal in September. the Rector shared some gt)od news wtth us,
and presented us with a challenge to consider. The good news was that the Bishop
of Chichester was now minded to grant us a curate for 2024 to succeed Ben Lucas.
We had been told earfier in 2023 that we wouldn't get a curate until 2025 lat the
earliest) so this news was very welcome indeed. It was subsequently announced that
Nat Gillett from Littleharnpton would be coming in June 2024 to be our next curate,
and we look foward to his anival. The challenge was to consider whether to appoint
a further staff member to the team. During the sabbatical, the Rector had seen the
benefrts of a Church having an Associate Vicar on the team. This person could then
invest his energies in a particular set of roles that hadn't been given the attention
they needed. The particular roles identified at St Margaret's were outreach (due to
the growth in population of the village in the last 2 decades) and families ministry (a
2 appointment to support the work of Chris Wilson amongst the children and youth
had been thought to be benefi¢ia Sin￿ the time Chris joined the team 2 years
eadier).
Discussion in the staff team, wardens team and Church Council was all very positive,
and at the end of September we decided to create this new post. Over the next 2.5
months, a candidate who had already been identrfied as ideal for thi5 new role was
formally inlejviewed. and offered the role. subject to sufficient finance being provided
or pledged in response to Gfft Sunday in mid November. The response to Gift
Sunday was incredibly encouraging, with approximately £105,000 of extra money
given or pledged for 2024, such sum giving us confidence that we could pay for the
new staff member in 2024, and indeed for a further 3 years (given the pledges and
unallocated reserves we hold and legacies we expect in the coming few years). In
the light of all this good news, for which we are incredibly grateful to God and the
Church family and to the Charitable Trust that provide a substantial grant, the PCC
was able to approve a resolution asking the Bishop of Chichester to appoint Rev Ben
Martin for an initial period of 4 years as our Associate WIGar, starttng after Easter
2024. We look forward to Ben and Morag's arrival enorniously.

It is fair to say that this process of appointing an Associate Vicar took up a
Considerable amount of time, attention and prayer on the part of staff, Church
Council, Churchwardens and Finan￿ Group. We are grateful to them all, especially
perhaps to the Finance Group consisting of Neil Giles, John Ba￿er (our Treasurer)
Many Dukes lour Planned Giving offi￿r) and Rector. They met regularly during the
period from August 2023 to January 2024, analysing the figures over and over again.
It is right to record our gratitude for the response, but also to note that we will need to
continue to work hard to infomi the Church family of the need for continuing
generosity if this post is to continue for longer than 4 years, which is our hope, in
order to ensure maxirnum impact from the post.
Although the process took up much of our time, this didn't stop us from having a full
programme of ministry and mission during the months of October through to
December.
October started with a lively all age Harvest service. We enjoyed the visti of another
of our mission partners, Alison and Paul Guinness, the following weekend. We
invited those who have been bereaved to a special seNice on another weekend, and
then had a church family lunch to mark the 60 birthdays of the Rector and his wfe.
This was such a happy occasion, and many thanks are due to Sue Tyler and her
catering team. The month ended with c150 children and aduFts attending a 'Light
Paty'_ a Christian altemative to Halloween, which was much enjoyed by all.
In November, we started the month with a special supper for Newcomers, and we
were delighted to have 55 people there. Our records showed that about 50 people
had joined the church in the previous 12 months, and that is dearty a very
encouraging number of people. We pray that each would find a wam welcome, and
their place in the Church family and opportunities to serve. We were also pleased to
take a prominent part in delivering the Act of Remembrance at the village war
memorial on RerneMbran￿ Day.
A number of the Church family went to a Sussex Gospel Partnership event on
becoming more confident Christians. It was good to be encouraged in this way, and
to feel part of this wider fellowship of Christians in Sussex. It was also good to prsy
together wth our fellow Christians in the village this month, at a prayer meeting with
friends from Angmering Baptist Church and Immanuel Church. We plan lo do this
again in 2024. Throughout November and December the Alpha wurse conlinued
with a rneal provided for all the course members.
The final month of the year was one of our busiest. In addition to regular rninistry,
and the final stages of th8 Associate Vicar process, we also had the opportunity to
elebrate Christmas with our church family and village community. There were
extraordinarily wide ways of doing this, including 'opening up. the Church on the
'Christmas at Angmering, event and welcoming about 200 people into the building.
We staged a P2ntomime- thanks to Emily Dadson and her incredible team for all they
did over many months to do this. We had traditional Christmas Carol services. run by
Malcolm Hawke for the last time, having done this for approximately 40 years. We
also had very lively Children-focussed events, with some 355 attending the afternoon
services on Christmas Eve. We were also able to visit the houses ne￿Y built in the
last 12 months, stage a 'Carols by the Green, in our latest estate , Ecdesden Park,

2023 has been an unusual year. but a full and exciting one too, with countless
opportunities to share God's love wth others, and to build up our fellow Christians in
their precious faith. For all this we thank God and gtve him the glory.
We start this new year with grati(ude. joy, and great anticipation of all the Lord wll do
amongst us in 2024, looking fo￿ard to the arrival of our new staff members to
supplement our existing hard working team of Sara Spencer, David Boreham,
L8anne Kyle and Chris Wilson, together with the invaluab18 contributions of our
retired clergy Joy Harterink and Robert Lovatt and our Pastoral Coordinator John
Roberts. We are enonnously grateful to them and to countless other church family
members who all work together in partnership to advance the gospel.

16 Pension Scheme
The PCC participates in Ihe Pension Builder Scheme section of the Church Workers Pension Fund for lay staff.
The Scheme is administered by the Church of Englanrj Pensions Board, which holds the assets of the scheme
separately from those of the PCC and the other participating employers.
The Pension Builder Scheme is mad8 up of tsvo sections, Pension Builder Classic and Pension Builder 2014.
both of ￿]ch are classed as dafined benefit schemes. The PCC participates in the Pension Builder 2014
Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance schem8 that provides a lump sum that member5 use to provide benefrts
at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. Discretionary bonuses may
be added before retirement, depending on investment retums and other factors. The account. plus any bonuses
declared, is payable, unreduced, from age 65.
There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme.
The Stheme is considered to be a multiémployer scheme as described in se￿lOn 28 of FRS 102. This Is
because it is not possible to attribute the Pension Buildor Scheme's assets and liabilities to specrfic employers
and means that contributions are accounted for as if the Scheme were a defined contribution scheme. The
pension costs charged to the SOFA in the year are the contributions payable of £3,208 (2022.. £2,797).
A valuation of the Pension Builder Scheme is cawied out On￿ every three years. The most re￿nt was carried
out at 31 December 2022. The next valu8tion 15 due at 31 December 2025. For the Pension Builder 2014
section, the valuation at 31 December 2022 revealed 8 surplus of £2.Om on the ongoing assumptions used_
There is no requirement for deficit payments at the Cu￿ent time.
The legal structure of the Scheme is such that if another employer fails, the PCC could become responsible for
paying a share of that employef s pension liabilities.
