Holy Trinity Church, Stevenage
Annual Report of the Paro¢hial Church Council
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023
Aim and purposes
The charitable purpose of Holy Trinity's Parochial Church Council IPCC) is the advancemenl of
religion. The principal function of the PCC is to support the advancement of Ihe Christian religion by
promoting, in co-operation with the Vicar, in the geographical, ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission
of the Church.. pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. In addition, the PCC has responsibility to
the Anglican Congregation at the Church of Christ the King Local Ecumenical Project located within
the parish at Filey Close, Symonds Green, Stevenage {currently the sole congregation there, as Ihere
are no ecumenical partners at presentl, and maintenance fesponsibilities for the Church buildings and
Churchyard of Holy Trinity, High Street, stevenage, and the house at 413 Scarborough Avenue,
Stevenage.
Objectives and actlvltles
The PCC'S charitable objects {'Promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church,)
are primarily focused on the advancement of religion, which is recognised as a charitable purpose
having public benefit. The PCC works to enable the church to play its part in Christian mission to the
world,. to co-operate with the vicar in sharing leadership; to care for the buildings and churchyard so
that they may be best suited for the purpose of the church's ministry and mission,. to ensure legal
compliance with charity law and ecclesiastical law, in particular in the areas of finance, employment
and appointments,. and to be a channel of consultation within the wider Church through its synodical
structures on matters that affect the Church locally and nalionally.
Using the language on the gov.uk site.. we provide and maintain a place of worship, generally advance
the Christian religion, educate people about the religion, provide pastoral care and outreach, and
support missionary and evangelical activities. We provide buildings I facilities l open Spa￿ (as
mentioned above- th8 church, churchyard, and house), provide services {community activities to
combat social isolation, including an Art Club), and make grants to organisations (giving a portion of
our planned income to other charities). We help adherents of the Christian religion, but also the
general public, especially people living within our geographical parish, including children and the
81derly.
In addition, the PCC'S a¢tivities as listed below have further public benefits., for example. teaching and
taking assemblies offer advancement of education which is recognised as a charitable purpose having
public benefit. Donations to other charities and our own projects provide public benefits in the relief of
povety, need, and social isolation, whether wilhin or outside the ecclesiastical parish. often for
minority groups with particular needs such as the elderly. Moreover, as a result of activity in the pursuit
of the advancement of the Christian religion, the PCC has custody of property and of records,
materials and artefacts of significance to the cultural and religious heritage, maintenance of which is
undertaken by the PCC.
Achievements and performance
Worship and Prayer
The PCC is keen to offer a range of seTvi¢es during the week and over the course of the year Ihat our
mmunity find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. For example, Morning and Evening Prayer and
SeNices of the Word provide the opportunity to hear and reflect upon a number of Scriplure passages
read by and within a small gathering, while our Eucharists engage the senses more widely. with the
provision of Communion. We provide a range of music on Sunday mornings, with a leaning toward
the more traditional styles of hymn at Holy Trinity, and a mix of contemporary choruses with traditional
hymns at Church of Christ the King. Much of our corporate worship is accessSble by internel &lor
telephone for those who are house-bound or ill.
We offer an 8 am Eucharist once 8 month. without hymns, for Ihose who prefer a quieter, earlier
service, with less variation in the liturgy.

The PCC continues to seek ways in which to invofve young families in the life of the church, inviting
baptism families to Sunday worship. and providing material for the very young alongside the traditional
sermon.
Deanery Synod
Three members ofthe PCC sit on the Deanery Synod. This provides the PCC with an important link
befvjeen the parish and the wider structures of the church.
Pastoral Care
The PCC and church more widely identified the lonely as a priority group for outreach, desiring lo
combat social isolation. We organise a monthly Friendship Cafe as well as a Coffee, Craft & Chat drop
in al Christ the King. At Holy Trinity the Art Club drop-in is space for anyone but especially the lonely
and vulnerable. In turn, some Art Club members enhance the worship life of our church with original
athork. The Holy Trinity Parish Rooms continue to seNe as a regular meetings venue for a number of
community groups including the Old Town Toddlers and Rainbow Guides.
The daytime open church policy (now Sunday- Thursday) permits casual visitors to the church to find
a quiet pla￿ for prayer and reflection. Votive candles are made available free of charge.
A Pastoral Care group meets regularly to Consider the needs of those in the parish unable to attend
church due to sickness or infirmity. Home Communion is taken lo the house-bound, as requested.
The Parish Magazine "Croziert continues to receive favourable comment and support both within and
beyond the parish family.
Mission and Evangelism
During Ihe year, the PCC felt able to continue to support Ihe religious educational needs of school
children via the Bridgebuilders group in Stevenage. An ongoing commitment is in place to support the
pioneer mission work of the Oak Church in Stevenage which seeks to engage with the young people
of the town.
Ecumenical Relat￿nShIpS
The parish belongs to Churches Together in Stevenage. The Joint Church Council covering the life of
Christ the King Church continues as a separate entity under the local responsibility ot the Parochial
Church Council.
Church attendance
There are 126 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll, 54 of whom are not resident within the
parish. The average weekly attendance has been over 60 adults, including some connecting via
Zoom or telephone (plus others who now view services via YouTube, which Cannot be accurately
counted}.
Financial Revlew
Activities took place which collectively raised £5,554.
Planned Christian Giving via our Slewardship Envelopes scheme and by bank standing order is
gradually moving over to the Parish Giving Scheme. Combined total of envelopes and standing orders
is £51,6181£56,016 in 2022, £57,783 in 2021, £60,300 in 20201.

Christ the King as well as our obligalions to St Albans Diocese. Stevenage Deanery and Churches
Together in Stevenage.

A combination of generous donations, fundraising ctivities and extraordinary receipts amounting to
£32,370 during the year still led to a shortfall of £8,776 which was covered by withdrawals from
reseNes.
Reserves Policy
It is the PCC policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds lif possible), which equates to
approximately three months, unrestricted payments, to cover emergency situations that may arise from
time to time.
It has been our policy to invest our funds balances over and above those needed to maintain thr68
month's payment cover. as well as a positive cash flow position, at our bank with the CBF Church of
England Deposit Fund.
Volunteers
We continue to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our churches lively. welcoming and
vibrant communities. In particular, we want to mention Churchwarden Mary Barton and Deputy
Warden Sue Benford, and those who support them on a week-by-week basis. We also Continue lo
