St Mary's Haughton Green PCC Review of 2023 We are grateful io God that the PCC was abl¢ io meet in full session four times during the year. This was1¢55 than usual as the Reclorlook sabbatical during the year. Committees met between council meetings and reported back to PCC on their activities. as well as continuing with our 20s & 30s monthly evening mtttin8. Makingjesus KnoM?n... The main way we have sought to make Jesus known over the p&81 year is through per80nal relatiomhips weleoming And dl8elpling neivcomers to ebureh (including those who have sought baptism for their Children) and Ihrough events at Christmas and Easter {M¢ssy ChUh. school assemblie4 carol s¢rvices). The PCC exists to ciFoperate with ihe Rector in sharing leadership of our parish. $0 that we may all play our part in: hiowingJe3xF ondmakingHim known in Haughton Green. st¢warding our buildings and ¢huhyard for the furtherance of God's kingdom, contributin8 to the wider life of the Church of England and conducting ourselves in ways which fulfil best practice in safeguardin finance. and employment. We w¢re delighted to run a Chrls¢lanity Explored eourst during the year. as well as Celebrate two of our young people b¢in8 Confirmed in our first confirniation s¢rvi¢e since the lockdowns caused by Covid-19 (in partnehIP with two other local evangelical Anglican chUhe$), and one young person bein8 b4pti$ed. This reflects the prayerful work don¢ by the leaders of 'OwJlde' our youth group for older teenager4 as well as PaihfiDders. which has seen a number of new members in th¢ Aulumrt le. As a PCC, me¢lin8s begin by reading a section of the Bibl¢ so that God's word shapes our discussions and d¢cisions. We have continued readin& discussin& and praying through the apostle Paul's letters io Titus and l Timothy. ¢nwura8ing him to contirtue to put the churches in Crete and Ephesus in order by teaching the gospel that leads to 8odliness and appointing godly elders lo do so too. Thi5 is excellent and profitable for everyone, as Paul writes in Titus Enquiries for infant b*ptism$ have increased durin8 th¢ year also, and we ran preparation courses for the families. as well as have them join our church family. Children's Church and u¢tle Faith continue to run every 3 weeks out of 4, allowing the children to grow in their faith in Jesus and their parents lo do so without the distractiort of having to care for th¢ir ¢hildr¢n during Sunday services. During the year, we preached sernioll series ort 'Prayer: Awe & Inlimacy with God,, "Journeying with Jesus on the road to Discipleship {fM Luk¢'s Gospel), 'God- glorifyin¥ Work.. and the Beatitudes from Matthew s Gospel. The last sern)on series was chosen to prayerfully help us grow as a Jesus- like church, with Jesus. values being our values. Siewarding our Buildings & Churchyard The PCC are grnteful for the work of the Buildings Committee for their diligence in maintaining the buildings. in pArtieular resolving a complex issue with our h¢atin8. Contribuiing io the Wider Life of¢he Church The PCC ar¢ committed to helping the tnission of the Church, which we did by contributing lo our Mission Community. Deanery Synod. and Partnerships with local evangelical churches. Our Llfe Groups & Women on Wednesday studied a Bible Ov¢rview and Isaiah together. We also ran a Grow Course. for those who had recently bme Christians or wanted a r¢fresher. to help them know how to live the Cliristian life. Fulfilling Besi Praciiee W¢ ar¢ 8rateful for the help of our Safeguarding Officers and our Treasurer for their diligence in helping us keep to the saf¢guardin¥ and financial re8ulations. W¢ also began a new monthly Sunday evening seminar on 15sue5 Facing ChristiAllS Today. On behalf of your PCC. Rev Mark Glew

An ex8min8tion indudes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It al80 includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seekin9 explanations from the trustees concerning any such matter8. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and con88qU8ntly I do not expre88 an audit opinion on the accounts.
