REVIEW OF THE YEAR FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st DECEMBER 2024
Aims and objectives
St Michael’s Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the Incumbent, the Reverend David Cattle, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the church building and grounds.
Structure, governance and management
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. All church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. During 2024, the PCC met five times, in addition to a short PCC meeting immediately following the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) to appoint officers.
The PCC has decided that the Standing Committee would not have regular meetings, but would meet as and when needed, under the direction of the Churchwardens. The Standing Committee compromises the Vicar and Churchwardens (ex officio members), together with members of the PCC members appointed by the PCC. At the beginning of 2024, Richard Hyland, Sue Metcalfe and Stephanie Troop were appointed. At the PCC meeting following the Annual Parochial Church Meeting, Richard Hyland and Sue Metcalfe were appointed for the remainder of 2024.
St Michael’s aims to be a church of teams, covering everything from bell-ringing (led by Chris Moles) to the welcome team (led by Martin and Veryan Wilson). Each team has its own leader who reports to the incumbent and the PCC. The main strategic teams are as follows:
Clergy team: The clergy team consists of the incumbent, Revd. David Cattle, and one Associate Minister, Reverend Stephanie Gillingham, who is also Rector of Widford and Priest in Charge of Moulsham, St Luke. This team works with other ministers in the South West Chelmsford group of churches: the Reverend Hannah Robinson (Priest in Charge of St John, Moulsham) and Revd Suzanne McAllister (Associate Minister at Moulsham, St Luke).
The Churchwardens’ team: At the beginning of 2024, Gavin Adlington and Anne Pepper were Churchwardens, and Michael Tucker was Deputy Churchwarden. At the Annual Meeting of Parishioners (AMP) on 26[th] May 2024, Gavin Adlington and Anne Pepper were re-elected as Churchwardens, and at the APCM that followed Michael Tucker and John Robertson were elected as Deputy Churchwardens.
Ministry leadership team (MLT): The MLT meets monthly, and has delegated responsibility for mission, ministry and worship. Throughout the whole of 2024, it consisted of the Incumbent, our two Licensed Lay Ministers (LLMs) (Travers Harpur and Fiona Selden), and one of our Authorised Local Preachers (ALPs) (Geoff Windus).
Worship planning team: This team meets every two months to plan and prepare service themes, readings, preaching series, and rotas for leading, preaching and praying. It consists of the Incumbent, our two LLMs, and our three Authorised Local Preachers (ALPs) (Chris Selden, Jane Harpur and Geoff Windus).
Staff team: The church has one paid staff member – Alice Loates became our Children, Youth and Families Leader in 2024.
Wider church structures
St Michael’s is part of the South West Chelmsford Churches (SWCC) group of churches, along with the parishes of Moulsham, St Luke, and Widford (consisting of St Mary and Church of the Holy Spirit). The parish of St John, Moulsham, withdrew from the group during 2024. The clergy meet regularly for support,
Page 4 of 17
prayer and business. The churches hold joint services and other events. Of particular note was the prayer event led by the Bishop of Bradwell, Adam Atkinson, on Sunday 1 September 2024.
The Lynchpins group consists of representatives of all four churches, and plans joint services and events. St Michael’s representatives at the beginning of 2024 were the Incumbent (ex officio) and Anne Pepper and Dai Jones (elected by the APCM). At the APCM on 26 May 2024, Richard Hyland and Dai Jones were elected. South West Chelmsford Churches are all part of the Chelmsford Deanery.
Safeguarding
St Michael’s PCC has adopted the Safeguarding Policy of the Church of England (“Promoting a Safer Church”) to create and maintain a safe and caring place for all. The PCC has appointed Janella Coates as Parish Safeguarding Representative.
Membership
There are 133 people on the 2024 Electoral Roll, 75 of whom are resident in the parish, and 58 non-reside nt. This compares with 127 people on the 2023 Electoral Roll, 71 of whom were resident in the parish, and 56 non-resident.
Vision, strategy and priorities
The PCC, MLT, ALPs, and some invited others held their annual Leadership Away Day on 2 March 2024 at Stock Village Hall. The group reviewed progress on the nine priority areas set at the Away Day on 11 March 2023, and set five new priorities for the coming year, beginning at the 2024 APCM. These were:
-
Install a new audio-visual system.
-
Develop and enhance worship and discipleship for children and young people.
-
Develop and enhance adult discipleship.
-
Complete our Silver Eco Church award.
-
Take forward the churchyard project.
Worship and discipleship
Services
During 2024, the church continued to run with this pattern of Sunday services:
-
8.30am: Said Holy Communion (BCP), on every Sunday except when there is Holy Communion in the 10am service.
-
10am: Service of the Word every Sunday, except 2[nd] Sundays when Holy Communion is celebrated. This service includes the weekly “Sonlight” group for primary-aged children, and the “Mega” group for secondary-aged young people, which now runs every Sunday except when it is a Holy Communion Sunday. This service is livestreamed on our Facebook page every week.
The church also has Morning Prayer on Zoom every Tuesday at 9.30am, and an informal prayer meeting in church at 9am on the 2[nd] and 4[th] Wednesdays in each month.
The newly cleared area in the Copse was also used for outdoor services during the year, including for a Creation Sunday in September.
Sung worship
Members of our singing group, on a rota basis, have continued to lead the singing in the 10am Sunday services. And there was a larger singing group leading the singing for Easter Sunday, Pentecost, Michaelmas and the Carol Service.
Homegroups
As at the end of 2024, there were seven homegroups. These are working well for those who attend. The have been two meetings of homegroup leaders during the year to discuss the strategy for homegroups and how they can best be supported and promoted.

Activities
The PCC is committed to enabling the preaching of the Gospel to our community, so that as many people as possible will become followers of Jesus. It is also committed to serving our community in the name of Jesus. The PCC maintains an overview of everything that the church is and does. Here is a brief description of our activities:
Make Lunch: This is a nation-wide initiative to provide a hot meal during school holidays for every child (and their family), who would qualify for free school meals. Alice Loates leads the project.
Friendship+: This is a group for pre-school children and their parents/carers. Peggy Adlington leads the project.
Children’s and youth work during the 10am service: We have a group for primary-aged children called “Sonlight” which meets weekly (except for family services), and a group for secondary-aged young people called “Mega” which runs every Sunday except when it is Holy Communion Sunday.
Youth work: Our new Children, Youth and Families Leader, Alice Loates, has started up a new lunch-time club in St Michael’s school called “Ignite”, and re-started the “Upwards” youth group on two Friday evenings per month in term time.
Schools work: The church provides Foundation Governors for St Michael’s School. The Incumbent and the Children, Youth and Families Leader lead weekly assemblies in school and special services in church for Harvest, Christmas, Easter and End-of-Year. The Incumbent also leads special services in school and church for Galleywood Infant School, for Christmas and Easter.
Prayer support for individuals: St Michael’s has a Prayer Chain, administered by Jane Windus, which is a group of people who receive confidential e-mails to pray for people and situations as needs arise. Prayer ministry is also offered after every 10am service. Intercession is also said during the 10am service, at Morning Prayer on Tuesdays, at the prayer meeting on Wednesday mornings, in homegroups, and by families and individuals at home.
Pastoral care: Much pastoral care takes place informally in friendship groups and homegroups. The Incumbent is always available to visit people who are ill or who cannot come to church for some reason, and to take Holy Communion to those who would like that.
Wednesday Fellowship: This is a group for older people in our community, many of whom have suffered a bereavement, and takes place once a month. It is led by a team of women from the church.
Marriage Day: The Incumbent and Fiona Selden lead a Marriage Day in May each year, which aims to prepare couples for marriage and to support those who are already married.
Eco Church: During 2024, the church achieved a Silver Eco Church award. Richard Hyland leads this project.
Fundraising: Beryl Moss and the Fundraising Team have organised many coffee mornings and other fundraising events in 2024, including a Taste of Sri Lanka evening, an organ recital by Philip Prior, a Cream Tea and Bingo, a Murder Mystery evening, and a Christmas Tree Festival. As well as raising much-needed funds for our Building Fund, these events have also had the effect of bringing more people into the church building, which has led in turn to more people joining our Sunday morning worshipping congregation.
Major expenditure: During 2024, a new audio system was fitted in the church. There are plans for a visual system (consisting of screens) to be fitted in 2025. And fundraising is taking place to fix the north roof.
Occasional offices: In 2024, 10 people were baptised (3 of whom were adults), 1 person reaffirmed their baptismal faith, and 3 people from our congregation were confirmed; there were 5 weddings; and there were 16 funeral services in church, 7 burials and 18 ashes interments in our churchyard, 9 burials and 2 ashes interments elsewhere, 13 funeral services at the Crematorium, and 4 committals at the Crematorium before

or after a service in church. Churchyard.. At team of volunteers (overseen by Churchwarden and Sexton, Anne Pepper), maintains the churchyard for the benefit of the local community. The Churchyard Care Team (Anne Pepper, Travers Harpur and the Incumbent) has written a Policy for how we care for the churchyard, which the PCC has approved. The Team has also written new information leaflets covering the rules for burials, memorials and items that can be placed on graves. A new outdoor noticeboard has been set up, specifically for churchyard information. Much care and thought has been given to how to sensitively regularise the churchyard, which will mean the removal of items from graves that should not be there. This is a long-term project, and was ongoing at the end of 2024. Mission support.. St Michael's gives away 10 % of its planned giving receipts. In 2024, we supported the Bible Society, International Ministry to Jewish People, Overseas Missionary Fellowship, Made for More, 1000 Hills Community in South Africa. our sister church in Piotrkow, Poland, Crosslinks, St Michael's Junior School (purchasing Bibles for the children), CPAS (our Patron), the Leprosy Mission, and the Good Friday event run in Chelmsford city centre by Christians Together in Chelmsford. The Mission Team is led by Jane Harpur. It was decided that for this year's Harvest Project the church would collect money for a project called Kings Pantry run by Central Baptist Church in Lilongwe, Milawi. which aims to care for the physical and spiritual needs of local people. £2,327 was raised. Dorbations of food were also collected and taken to the Food Bank. Also, the church raised £310 for The Children's Society at the Christingle service. Communlcations and technology.. The project to update the church website has made huge progress and is ongoing. The monthly newsletter called INhat's On continues to be issued each month, with a devotional Thought for the Month written by one of our preachers. Our e-mail distribution list continues to expand, so more and more people are informed of church events and receive service sheets for watching services on Facebook. The church continues to send out messages on Facebook and occasionally on Instagram. The church is in the process of transferring to a new communication and filing system, using Office 365. Many church officers now have a church-based e-mail account le.g. vicar slmichaels alle wood.or and confidential documents are in the process of being transferred into the Sharepoint system, so that documents are stored securely online rather than on individual people's computers. Thanks.. St Michael's PCC would like to thank the many volunteers who work so hard for the church. Approved by the Trustees on Signed on their behalf by Trustee... Printed Name..
