HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, FORMBY – ANNUAL REPORT 2020

II. STRUCTURE, MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE

A. General

Holy Trinity Parish covers Holy Trinity Church in Rosemary Lane and its ‘plant’ church at Redgate. The Vicar was assisted for part of 2020 by a Curate (see above). Mr John Paton is Reader-in-Charge at Redgate and is assisted by Ms Sylvia Beardsell, Reader. The other Readers who, together with the Wardens, form the ministry team are Dr Emily Ball, Ms Sue Raby, Dr Garth Raybould, Mrs Vicky Sime, Mr Brian Thorne, Mrs Ruth Woodward and Mr Duncan Wylie. With sadness we note the passing in February 2021 of Richard Woodward, who served the church in many ways and was Warden at the time of his death in July.

Holy Trinity PCC is a body corporate and operates under the Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure 1956. The PCC is registered with the Charity Commission, and all elected members of the PCC are registered as Trustees. Our Charity Number is 1131722.

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. All church members are encouraged to register for the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. Elected PCC Members serve for a three year term and one third retire each year by rotation. The PCC is represented on the governing body of Trinity St Peter's Primary School and we try to hold one meeting each year at the school. (Some of these arrangements might change with the 2020 rules.)

The PCC operates with six committees and a number of officers and representatives as listed below (effective following the APCM of October 2020).

HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, FORMBY – ANNUAL REPORT 2020

B. Risk Assessment

The PCC ensures that health and safety legislation is complied with. Procedures are in place for recording accidents. Lists of first-aiders are kept at both Rosemary Lane and Redgate. All assets are insured; cover is reviewed annually and approved by the PCC. During the year, no accidents were recorded and there was no cause to employ any legal adviser on behalf of the PCC.

C. Safeguarding

Our safeguarding policy is displayed in church and its implementation is overseen by the PCC. The Safeguarding Officer and Lead Recruiter (formerly DBS Verifier) is Mrs Pam Pearson. Particular responsibilities are given to the following: Anne Hothersall and Wendy Wilding are first points of contact for anyone who wishes to raise any concerns about safeguarding; Philip Eastwood is Children's Advocate. The PCC and officers continue to ensure that every person working with children and/or vulnerable adults has a current DBS check. No incidents were brought to the attention of the relevant officers during the year.

D. Serious Incidents

The PCC is unaware of any serious incident during the year which has resulted or could have resulted in a significant loss of funds or a significant risk to the charity’s property, work, beneficiaries or reputation. The PCC minutes for the year stand as a record that no such serious incident has occurred.

III. OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure 1956 states that the PCC ‘is to cooperate with the minister in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social, and ecumenical’. When planning activities for the year, the PCC gives consideration to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance to charities concerned with the advancement of religion.

Our vision is that we may be living proof of Jesus Christ and lead others to believe in Him, offering worship and a welcome with God’s love as central in the heart of Formby.

We are a church wanting to draw out a living faith in people of all ages, working as partners to

this aim with the other churches in Formby.

It barely needs to be said that during 2020 our objectives and achievements were severely disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic. From March onwards our principal objective was to provide worship in all the ways that we could in order to continue serving not only our existing congregations but those who might join us online.

From then up to the date of this report we have provided two recorded services each Sunday on YouTube, nominally at 10.45 am and 6.00 pm (latterly 4.00 pm), and a short Bible reflection every Monday to Saturday posted at 9.00 am. The challenges, both technical and liturgical, posed by these services have been embraced enthusiastically by a wide range of people from our congregations, many of whom had never previously been involved in the planning or provision of worship. In particular, we have seen wonderful Sunday morning broadcasts involving whole families, with great input from children as well as adults to talks, prayers, readings, craft demonstrations and family news. Daily reflections, which started with clergy and Readers, have also been contributed after the first few weeks by a range of people of all ages. We have seen a lot of unsuspected talent and wisdom and our future objectives will certainly include retaining that, whatever form our worship takes.

HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, FORMBY – ANNUAL REPORT 2020

In the gap between lockdowns in the summer of 2020 we returned briefly to Covid-secure inperson worship in church, and that resumed again on Palm Sunday 2021 with up to three Sunday morning services at Holy Trinity and one at our sister church at St Michael's, Altcar. Interaction between the two churches of the united benefice has increased significantly as a result of the pandemic.

As regards objectives from 2019, the Child-Friendly Church Award is still being pursued, as is the Eco-Church Award, for which we reached the Bronze stage early in 2020. The Diocesan Rule of Life – 'Pray, Listen, Learn; Tell, Serve, Give' – has continued to influence the theme of several of our services and sermon series, both online and in church. We continue to support the Tanzania (UK) Trust and the Rossington family at the Africa Inland Mission in Kenya (though the Rossingtons will be moving back to the UK this year). Some church and youth organisations have been able to continue some activities during the year, as reported below.

Some charitable activities such as the collection of clothing, etc., for local refugees had to be suspended because of the pandemic but collections for a local Foodbank continued on an occasional basis, thanks to the sterling efforts of Helen Davies.

We benefit from the work and enthusiasm of many volunteers who give their time and talents for those organisations and for general maintenance tasks.

IV. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

A. Number on the Electoral Roll and Sunday Attendance

i. Electoral Roll

The number on the electoral roll as at the APCM in 2020 was 183 (184 in 2019).

ii. Sunday Attendance

Before the pandemic the average Sunday attendance at Rosemary Lane was as follows:

8.45am 55 adults (44 in 2019) 10.45am 38 adults (38 in 2019) 6.30pm 4 adults (15 in 2019, including harvest and other special services)

The average midweek attendance at Rosemary Lane was 31 (32 in 2019). The average attendance for private prayer was 14 on Wednesdays and 8 on Sundays. The average Sunday attendance at Holy Trinity Redgate was 29 adults (36 in 2019)

In the brief summer opening period the average attendance at Rosemary Lane was 30 on Sundays and 23 on Wednesdays.

In addition to in-person attendances, the numbers tuning in to our YouTube services during 2020 averaged approximately 200 for Sunday morning services and 30 for daily reflections, these figures not taking account of couples and groups. We have about 180 regular subscribers on our YouTube channel.

B. Pastoral Care and Service to our Community

Below are reports on some of the activities through which we exercise our mission in the church and in our local community, most of which were of course affected by the pandemic in 2020.

Pandemic response: In addition to the activities of the groups described below, there was an early response to the pandemic by ad-hoc groups and individuals who provided quantities of

4

HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, FORMBY – ANNUAL REPORT 2020

protective equipment for local healthcare workers. In the first few weeks, Holy Trinity and St Michael's parishioners made 216 'scrubs' bags (for isolating potentially contaminated laundry) and 160 facemask extenders (to make them more comfortable to wear) for workers at ten care homes in Formby and the surrounding area, given together with cards offering love, prayers and encouragement.

Little Tiddlers Toddler Group: We met until 16 March. Things were going as well as normal until the untimely appearance of Covid19. However, on the last meeting, we managed to incorporate our Mother's Day activities and as we knew it was going to be the last for the foreseeable future, we also distributed Easter eggs to the children. As we only had a much reduced number on that last day, we had quite a few eggs left over which we donated to the Food Bank. Thanks are due again to our band of helpers and hope that it is not too long before we are able to meet again. Barbara Smith and Joyce O'Connell

Sunbeams is a Sunday School group for pre-school age children (under 5s) which meets at some Rosemary Lane services but had little chance to meet in 2020. In normal times we do age-appropriate activities with the children, which allows for parents to enjoy our communion services without worrying about keeping little ones entertained. The children return to the service in time to receive a blessing during the taking of communion. Parents can attend Sunbeams with children if they wish. Sunbeams is led by Nina Killen, Victoria Higgins and Barbara Smith .

Pizza Eaters met only on a couple of occasions in 2020. We attempted a Zoom, but it wasn’t popular. However, almost all of our members have taken part in the online services, leading the service, contributing to the family news, reading the lesson and our most senior young person even preaching. This has been greatly appreciated by other people, and has brought joy to the services.

Over the 12 months, the younger people of the church have reached Pizza Eater age, and they have been included in the group, mainly for Easter and Christmas presents, hopefully making an easier transition when we are permitted to meet together in person. Some of our older members have moved on, and we ask for God’s blessing on them for the future. Sylvia Beardsell and Duncan Wylie

Holy Trinity Guides: The Guides currently have 12 members. We had only had one meeting, on Zoom, before Christmas, saying hello and goodbye to Assistant Leader Chrissy Ryder. We played various Christmas games. In addition I have been using WhatsApp to give the Guides various activities and challenges. We have plans to start regular Zoom meetings and have one talk planned, on birds of prey.

Holy Trinity Guides and Brownies reached their centenary in November but as yet we have not been able to hold a celebration. We hope to do so soon, and to meet regularly face-toface outdoors. Helen Gillon

Holy Trinity (4th Formby) Scouts: The pandemic has seen a decrease of 37% in numbers in the Group, with only 44 young people across all four sections in the annual census. The Beavers section dropped most dramatically to only three members as seven Beavers turned 8 years old and moved on to Cubs and we have not been recruiting. Surprisingly, we have increased the number of Leaders, with two new Leaders coming on board, and very recently we have recruited two new Scouts.

The only Section that managed any face-to-face meetings was the Explorer Scouts, as part of one of the new District Explorer Units, which began meeting in September. Currently it is a combined 4th and 5th Formby Explorer Unit and has chosen as its new name Vikingar, a Norse

HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, FORMBY – ANNUAL REPORT 2020

word for a group of people who went on expeditions, an apt description of what Explorer Scouts are about and a nod to Formby’s past.

Aside from a few activities run at the beginning of 2020, everything has moved online. The Scout Association (TSA) nationally negotiated a deal with Zoom as many Groups had already embraced the medium and adapted their programs to suit. This has continued throughout the year, with TSA allowing items completed at home to be credited towards badges, even to the point of circulating online programs and challenges. The older sections have taken to the online environment with quite a few attending the weekly meetings. We have done quite a lot of cooking and craft. We have had a few talks, including a most interesting one from Peter Hitchcock about his time in the RAF. With the TSA adaptations, a lot of the young people have camped at least once during the year. I managed to get all four of my family under canvas in our garden once. They are all members of 4[th] Formby!!

One notable change has been the move to a Thursday night meeting rather than Friday for our Scout Troop. This has had the desired effect as we now have four Leaders, whereas the Leadership had reduced to one prior to the change.

Unfortunately, the European Jamboree which was due to be held in July 2020 in Gdansk, for which two of our Explorers had been selected to attend, was initially postponed until 2021 and then ultimately cancelled, leaving to two extremely disappointed Explorers.

The cancellation of the Christmas Post was an exceedingly difficult decision to make. The Christmas Post is something that Holy Trinity Scouts do for Formby and we couldn’t do in 2020, which felt wrong. We will be back all being well for Christmas 2021.

Overall, 2020 has been a difficult time, something we will feel the impact of for a number of years but hopefully we will begin our return to Scouting business as usual, whatever usual becomes, in the near future. John Carr, Group Scout Leader

Mothers' Union: This report is, of course, much shorter than usual due to circumstances of which we are all too aware. We had no meeting in January due to work on the car park and a funeral. In February, we had our Annual General Meeting, enrolment and Communion service. Sadly, in March we had our only other meeting of the year when Mark spoke to us about Constantine and the Black Swan. Hopefully, it will not be too long before "normal service can be resumed." Joyce O'Connell

Trinity Fellowship held only a few meetings early in the year and sadly, despite thriving throughout 2019, took the decision to close at the end of the year.

Book Group was only able to meet twice in 2020, in January and February. Bearing in mind the surreal nature of the year, the titles of the books we discussed seemed particularly appropriate. They were ‘The Woman who Went to Bed for a Year’ by Sue Townsend, and ‘The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared’ by Jonas Jonasson. We were sad not to have the opportunity to meet on Mondays at 12.30 in the church foyer to enjoy lively discussion and the friendship of other readers, but one of the very few advantages of lockdown was that we all had a great deal more time to read at home! Jean Raybould

Fell Walking Club: Well what a year 2020 turned out to be! At the beginning I thought it had such a good sound but sadly it did not live up to my expectations. On 4 January we set out for our ‘Festive Meal’, returning to The Gilpin Bridge near Levens. All completed the walks and most managed to miss the rain. We had a lovely meal and great social occasion. The only proper walk was on 14 March from Llangollen. We had 35 on the coach; the weather though blustery stayed fair and all parties missed the rain, which could be seen skirting Llangollen to the north and south. The following week lockdown started and caused the rest of the walks to

6

HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, FORMBY – ANNUAL REPORT 2020

be cancelled. The membership remains at 81, with 64 Full members and 17 Associate members. We are looking forward to restarting walks, possibly in July. Jennifer Mathias

Parish Breakfast: My report is that there is not much to report! We had only three breakfasts in 2020. We are looking forward to restarting this traditional social event as soon as possible. Ian Jones

Bible Study Groups: The group of five people who meet on Tuesday afternoons, fortnightly, have taken to Zoom, mastering the technology. We have spent time on the Beatitudes, applying them to our daily lives. Because of disruption due to illness we have not always been able to meet, but the friendship is very strong, and we have been able to support each other well, especially through prayer and phone calls. This group would benefit from being able to be together in person when we are permitted to do so.

The group of people (10, with 7 regulars) who meet on Sunday evenings, fortnightly, also have met on Zoom, finding it useful, with no need for child care to be in place and, after busy days, not needing to leave home. We have returned to the book used several years ago, Dwelling with Philippians, using the comprehensive questions (in each chapter of the book) to form our discussion. This has taken us, in depth, through Philippians. We have used a WhatsApp group for communication, prayer requests etc., which has allowed the whole group to grow together and pray for each other during stressful times. It is possible that this group will continue to use text and Zoom in the future, probably combining it with in-person meetings.

Both Bible Study groups would welcome new members, and although they are called ‘Study’, there is no need for prior knowledge of the Bible. In both groups, we have found that God has blessed us, especially through the prayer and concern that each has for the others. Sylvia Beardsell

V. CHURCHWARDENS' REPORT ON FABRIC

Although the Fabric Committee has not been able to meet frequently the church has been inspected regularly by the Vicar and Churchwardens.

Minor repairs have been made to the roof to replace broken tiles but further investigation is needed into the cause of damp in the vestry.

ParkingEye made a survey of the grounds and submitted their proposal for the installation of a camera to monitor the entry of vehicles and terminals to be placed in all buildings for visitors to log in their registration numbers. The proposals have since been implemented and parking controls are in place.

The commercial and domestic boilers have both been serviced and are now on a yearly contract.

VI. FINANCIAL REVIEW

The accounts for 2020 and the report of the Independent Examiner are set out in the Appendix.

VII. VICAR'S REPORT

7

HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, FORMBY – ANNUAL REPORT 2020

Whilst 2020 will be remembered for Covid there has been much to rejoice in in the life of Holy Trinity.

We enjoyed Bishop Paul’s visit to bless our new communion table at joint service with St Michael and All Angel’s, we quickly able to take the table out into the community on Ash Wednesday as we were joined by Archdeacon Pete for “Ashes to Go” in the village, we took up our place outside (the now defunct ) Edinburgh Woollen Mill what followed was a fantastic morning of conversation and prayers of blessing for passers by as well as staff from the shop.

It was just a couple weeks later that we had to, by necessity, discover a whole new way of doing church; both Poppy and Chris, along with Mike and David Taylor were key in getting this of the ground quickly with their video editing skill sets as got our YouTube Channel up and running immediately, as Duncan Sylvia and I sought to learn as quickly as possible. The reach of this work has been huge with a total of 32,000 views over the last 12 months, and whilst we a know who many of the people are many remain anonymous. The team that keep this ministry going is, as you know, large and I’m grateful to them all.

In the summer we said goodbye to both Poppy and Chris as they moved on to their next phases of ministry. Poppy was an exemplary curate who I know was much loved by you all, her faith and sense of fun marked her time with us, and we pray for her ministry as vicar of The Good Shepherd, West Derby in Liverpool. Chris likewise moved on, his training completed with St Mellitus, to become curate at St John’s, Burscough. Chris’s passion for sharing Jesus with everyone, his practical care for the vulnerable and sense of humour marked his time with us. They were both fantastic colleagues who I’m proud to have supervised.

One of my personal highlights of the year was to run a online confirmation class in the Autumn for seven of our young people, and we’re looking forward to being able to welcome a Bishop to conduct the service which will be at Holy Trinity.

Christmas brought its own challenges – to wreath or not to wreath and stay Covid safe – we decided to go for it, and we were glad that we did – as always thankyou to the team the made it happen, albeit for an Online service.

How could we facilitate singing carols was our next challenge, we’d heard of other churches doing “Drive In” Services but to pull it for would require a huge amount of teamwork (and risk assessment paperwork for Sefton Council to ensure we were safe). Too, we wondered whether we should partner with other local Churches. “Driving In For Christmas” was the result; two services in the Pool Car Park with Holy Trinity driving the effort under the auspices of CTiFAH, several hundred folk were able to attend… and sing.

You’ve heard how well how finances have stood up to the challenge of the past 12 months, I’m really grateful to Phil for his proactive response, but most of all to you for your generous response in maintaining our giving – thank you. Likewise I’m sure Jan had little idea of what she was signing up to when she became warden – my thanks to her. Throughout my nine and a bit year here Jean has been a constant in her work as Parish Secretary, always calm. I’ve been really grateful for her quiet counsel and practical help, so

HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, FORMBY – ANNUAL REPORT 2020

this will be her last APCM as she stands down after 10 years of service in this role. Thank you, Jean.

Ministry to the dying is always a privilege, but when it is someone, you count as a friend especially so, it is right that I conclude this report by thanking God once more for Les, Richard and Bob Rimmer We continue to miss them and thank God for them.
