AGENDA ITEM 4 - REPORTS FROM THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL

4.1. CHURCHWARDENS - Attached

4.3. PCC TREASURER - ACCOUNTS - See separate sheets

There are fewer reports this year as the Pandemic has resulted in a number of our organisations being unable to meet since March 2020.

4.1. CHURCH WARDEN’S REPORT MARCH 2020/2021

There can be no denying that due to the Covid pandemic the past 12 months or so have been a particularly challenging time for all, globally and nationally. There is so much one could say in reflection on these times. However, the purpose of this report is to focus on the care and management of the church building and grounds and, especially this year, to ensure a safe place for worship and gathering appropriate to the restrictions to which we have necessarily been subjected.

Church Building

Having had a year or two without any need for major repair work, towards the end of 2020 there was a major leak of rainwater through the roof at the north east end of the church. The firm of T. Jones was employed to repair the roof in that area and on inspection of further areas also attended to tile damage on the south east end. They also cleared the guttering.

The work to clear the old boiler room of asbestos is still outstanding. There is no general access to the room, but it is necessary to address the problem before too long.

In order to be able to open the church once restrictions allowed, care was taken with positioning seating, hand sanitisers and masks, and signage to ensure social distancing and other requirements (i.e. ‘hands, face and space’). It was disappointing to close again for Sunday Worship just after Christmas until Palm Sunday but thankfully it was possible to continue to open for private prayer on Thursday mornings.

Church Grounds

The church grounds continue to be both a blessing and a challenge in that they offer a burgeoning green space in a built-up area, with lots of potential to encourage wildlife, but as mentioned in previous years keeping them in good order is time consuming and labour intensive. The gardener has cut the grass regularly and has trimmed back and tidied hedges etc. We could employ him to do more but it would be good if we, as a congregation, again took up the challenge of sharing with each other the care and enhancement of this valuable asset for the enjoyment of all.

In conclusion, as the sole nominee for the role of church warden at the last APCM, I have to stress how grateful I have been to June Nixon and Eileen Dixon as deputies. Despite their many other commitments their support throughout the year has been invaluable. To them I offer my sincerest and deepest thanks.

As we hope and pray that it will not be too long before we are able to return to meeting together in person, I am sure that I speak for all when I say how appreciative we have been of the technology which has enabled us to continue to gather in worship, albeit virtually, with especial thanks to Daud for his leadership in having the vision to make it possible and for his spiritual guidance and commitment throughout to the church family and community of St. Alban’s.

Esme Hammer

4.2. PCC SECRETARY’S REPORT

The PCC has met via Zoom over the last year and since the last report was prepared, in April 2020, there have been six meetings.

The PCC has continued to discuss our finances and agreed to close down the Hall, Toddler Group, Take 5 and Bookstall accounts, transfer the funds into the Church account and operate everything from this account. We have begun to think about our church buildings and their use together with our vision for our mission and ministry post-COVID. Amongst other things, the PCC considered how to involve the children and young people during the Pandemic, and also how to offer Holy Communion during the virtual services.

It was possible to re-open the church between September and December when services were held both in Church and via Zoom. After a further closure early in the New Year, we re-opened on Palm Sunday, again offering services both in Church and virtually

It was a real joy to welcome the new Bishop of Chester, the Rt Revd Mark Tanner, to our Harvest Festival service in October. It has also been good to be joined by various guest preachers, via Zoom, including Major Dawn Lacey of the Salvation Army at our Toy Service.

As we were unable to have the usual Candle Service on Christmas Eve, it was replaced with an outdoor Nativity/Carol Service. This was well attended and appreciated by all who were there.

The use of Zoom has enabled various church activities to continue: Team meetings, Morning Prayer, House Groups, the Lent course. Our Vicar arranged a curry evening in March in aid of our overseas link, the Diocese of Sialkot, and invited the Bishop of Sialkot to speak. Well over £1000 was raised. The breakout groups at the end of our Sunday services have been appreciated as a way of keeping in touch with each other.

We lost one of our long-standing members last November, when very sadly Beryl Kelly died. Beryl had served on the PCC for well over 40 years and, as well as a member of the PCC, she was involved in numerous things at St Alban’s. She was a member of the Mothers’ Union, leader of the Wives’ Group, a Sunday School teacher, a member of the church choir and later the music group, one of the founder members of the Take 5 team, and was always present at various church meetings and events. Whenever a cake was needed for a special occasion, Beryl was asked to provide it and there was always a good supply of delicious cakes at Take 5. Beryl will be very much missed.

Thank you to our Vicar for all he has done during the Pandemic to keep in touch with the congregation and for ensuring the continuation of our services, in church when we were able, and on Zoom. Also special thanks to the members of the AV team operating what is a complex system providing the services in church and on Zoom and for all the time they have given up to help out.

There are three members due to retire from the PCC this year. There is still one vacancy for a Deanery Synod representative.

June Nixon, PCC Secretary

4.4. REPORTS OF CHURCH ORGANISATIONS AND ACTIVITIES

Children’s Ministry

Since the Church closed in March 2020, much of the Children’s ministry moved online to breakout groups which took part whilst the main Sunday service took place online. This provision for the children has enabled them to stay connected with each other, with the Church and stay connected to Biblical teaching. On average, 15 children from our Church family attended, and this included 1 or 2 new children, which has been a real encouragement to me.

Teaching has taken place in the form of reading Bible stories, or watching them animated on YouTube. The children have participated in craft activities, they have shared prayers together, and enjoyed singing and dancing along to worship songs from within their own homes.

In October, we celebrated our Harvest service, and at this point we were able to be back in Church. Bishop Mark and his wife Lindsay visited us that Sunday, and our children took part in a small activity illuminating the word HARVEST and sharing some thoughts around the words Share, Have and Rest.

At Christmas, the children joined together and did an online nativity performance which was broadcast on Facebook, and when Church was open on Christmas Eve, the children performed it outdoors. Both events were great fun and the children were very eager to take part.

Moving into 2021, the children led All Age Worship online in January. The teaching of the service was based on Mark 5:21-43, and the theme focussed on Fear, Compassion and Action, delving into what Mark teaches us about Jesus.

In March, moving back into Church, the children took part in the Palm Sunday service, reading the Gospel and praying intercession prayers. They read out their version of the Palm Sunday story with huge enthusiasm and joy.

To conclude, it has been a delight and privilege to bond with, and to teach the children in our Church family. They are always willing and available to participate in and deliver God’s word, and I have truly enjoyed ministering to them during the past year.

Psalm 127:3 Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a real blessing (GNT)

Discipleship Team

The Discipleship Team has continued to meet on zoom.

The Tuesday evening group meets weekly on Zoom and all are welcome. A link is sent out each week.

In the Autumn of 2020 we completed an on-line Alpha course. It worked out well. However, we would prefer to resume a face to face Alpha this autumn depending on Covid restrictions.

During Lent 2021 we used a USPG study called “For Such a Time as This” looking at Ecological justice. We hope that we will be able to take ideas shared from this forward as a PCC and church.

At present on a Tuesday we are studying ‘Surprised by Hope’ by Tom Wright.

The Thursday group are also continuing to meet on Zoom.

We are looking forward to taking part in Thy Kingdom Come. … The Archbishops’ call to prayer from 12[th] May to 23[rd] May 2021.

If you would like more information about any of these activities, please speak to me.

Finance Team and Planned Giving

The Finance Team meets regularly to review the church’s finances and its members are the Vicar, Church Treasurer (John Jarvis), June Nixon and Peter Johnson. Eileen Dixon has kindly agreed to help by looking after the church and hall utility bills. After a lot of delays caused by supplier companies going into liquidation and bill disputes, June and John have finally been able to settle the issue of our outstanding balance.

Thank you to all who have continued to support the mission and life of St Alban’s Church over this year by your generous giving. For most of 2020 we have paid a reduced amount to the Diocese for the parish share and this has continued into 2021. This is the amount of money that Chester asks us to contribute to the overall running of the Diocese. As a result of this change our funds have more or less maintained their balance as outgoings have reduced along with income due to the pandemic. There are still outstanding actions to be done from the last 5-yearly building inspection as well.

Thank you to all who increased their regular giving or became a regular giver for the first time as a result of the appeal we made to the congregation. Lockdown has meant significantly lower income from cash and collections but some people have taken up standing orders which really helps.

John Jarvis stated at the end of 2019 that he would like to step down as Church Treasurer to take up a different role and we asked the congregation if there was anyone who would like to take that role up. We had some interest although this was paused during 2020 but we hope that this transfer will be able to happen in 2021.

Daud applied for a grant from All Churches Trust to help fund a youth worker and upgrade the AV system. About 25% of the applied-for amount was granted and we are in the process of deciding how to use this and how to fill the “funding gap”.

The Gift Aid tax reclaim was well over £13,000 this year. If you are a tax payer and would like to take advantage of this tax efficient way of giving, please ask Peter Johnson.

Prayer Team

Members: Jean Bailey, Sandra Fairclough, Daud Gill, Alan Harrison, Darlene Harrison, Gillian Shepherd, Rita Wickens, Cecilia Williams

Between April 2020 and March 2021, in spite of lockdowns, the team has been able to meet each Monday from 1.30 pm to 2.30 pm for prayer via Zoom. We would like to thank all those people who have contacted us with requests for prayer. All requests are regarded as confidential and are confined to the group.

We also include other urgent needs concerning the work, events and activities of the church, as well as local, national and international situations as appropriate.

Prayer ministry in the church has had to be suspended during the pandemic.

Any prayer requests should be given to Daud (0161 928 4820; daudgill@hotmail.co.uk) or to another person within the team.

We would appreciate feedback on situations for which prayer has been requested and thank those people who do keep us updated. It does encourage us to hear of an outcome or to have an update. Thank you.

Gillian Shepherd

Worship Team

The Worship team meets regularly to plan, review and develop the church’s gathered worship to support the congregation through the week. Daud Gill, Darlene Harrison, Lisa Redfern, Esme Hammer, Rachel Bradley and Peter Johnson are the team members.

The pandemic dramatically changed our services in 2020. We started the year as normal but very quickly after the first lockdown started we started using Zoom, which enabled us to have live worship remotely, although technically it was a challenge at times. Many thanks to Daud for moving so quickly on this. When private prayer in church was allowed, the church was opened on a Thursday and Sunday morning.

Daud, the wardens and June are owed a great deal of thanks for getting the church in a fit state when we were allowed to meet again in person. There was a lot to do, meeting the requirements for cleaning, assessing the maximum number of people, booking arrangements and clearing chairs. We were indebted to the AV team of Martin Odenrode, Rob Thomason and James Cunliffe who worked very hard to allow blended worship with church and homes on Zoom being part of a live service together.

Bishop Mark visited St Alban’s in October 2020 which was great as it was one of the first parish church services he had led since becoming Bishop of Chester. We were able to have a socially distanced Christmas Eve service with donkey in attendance, outside in the church grounds. Preaching generally followed the lectionary in 2020, but had a series covering Mark’s gospel, leading up to Easter 2021. We were able to have a series of reflections from members of the congregation on Facebook, every day of Advent. It was very encouraging to have contributions from so many different members of the congregation.

This year the monthly BCP service at 8 am on the first Sunday of the month was suspended. and the once a month evening gathering on the last Sunday of the month continued. Morning Prayer on Thursday is on zoom and at church with the church open for private prayer.

If anyone would like to help by contributing to services you would always be welcome and we hope that gifts of service and leadership develop within St Alban’s congregation. Please talk to one of us. As the restrictions reduce there are opportunities and challenges ahead for our gathered worship.

ST ALBAN'S PARISH CHURCH BROADHEATH FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 Independent Examinerfs report to the PCC of St Alban's Parish Church. Broadheath I report on the accounts of St Alban's Parish Church, Broadheath for the year ended 31 December 2020 set out in the "End of Year Financial Statements". Respectlve responsibilities of the PCC and the examiner The PCC are responsible fof the preparation of the accounts. The PPC consider that an audit is not required for this year lunder section 144121 of the charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independer)t examinatior) is needed. It is my responsibility to.. l. Examine the accounts in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 and under section 145111 lal of the 2011 Act. 2. To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission lunder section 145151 of the 2011 Act),. and 3. To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of Independent Examlnerfs Statement My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison 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 members of the PCC concerning any suth matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit. and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view,. Independent Examinerfs Statement In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination that give me cause to believe that in any material respect the PCC has not met the requirements to ensure that.. l. proper accounting records were kept lin accordance with section$ 130 and 131 of the Actl- and accounts were prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act. Ir) carrying out my examination I noted the following . The assets have increased by £6,200 in the year, which is approximately 28% from last year. A recent survey of the buildings has reported the need for some major work5 to be undertaken in the near future. The balance of these works could amount to approx. £34,000, and are the responsibility of the PCC. Assuming the building works are spread over the next say. 4 years. there will be a funding requirement of £8,500 for each of the next 4 years to cover thi5 expenditure. Despite the increase in the assets in the year. the funding requirement for the repairs of f 8,500 per year going forward, SUEgests that there is a significant funding problem which may become worse over the next several years. This position has only slightly improved since last year, so I would suggest that there is a thorough and urgent review of expenditure and funding measure5 in order to mitigate this issue. I confirm that there are no other matters. in my opinion. to which your attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. Signed and dated: Name .'
