VICAR’S REPORT
As I prepare to begin my seventeenth year as the Incumbent of Sheringham St Peter and my twenty-ninth year as an ordained minister, it remains a great privilege to serve as your Vicar. As such, I would like to place on record my grateful thanks to everybody associated with our church community and to all members of the St Peter’s Church family for your ongoing prayers and support.
I am particularly grateful to our Church Office Holders (our Fabric Officer, PCC Secretary and Treasurer) as well as our PCC members. I am extremely thankful for my colleagues in the Ministry Team (Julie, Pat, Andrew and Malcolm), our Lay Ministers (Angela and Julie), our Lay Minister-in-training (Toby), our Authorised Pastoral Assistant (Richard), the Reverend Christina Rees (our Self Supporting Minister), the Reverend Iain Grant (Assistant Curate) and for our Director of Music (Philip), the choir and our Parish Administrator (Jenny).
Finally, a massive ‘thank you’ to our team of volunteers, fundraisers and Church Group leaders/organisers. Rotas don’t write themselves, the cleaning fairy doesn’t exist and chairs and tables don’t magically arrange and re-arrange themselves. Events and regular activities don’t just happen! Thanks to you all for your dedication and commitment to our ministry and mission.
Together, at our Annual Meetings, we give thanks for the last year and we look forward, with hope, to the year ahead. May Almighty God continue to bless us all and may we, as a whole church community, continue to share the love of Jesus through our words and actions, in our worship and prayers and through the sanctuary and inclusive welcome we seek to offer to all through our church projects, events and wider activities.
With every blessing,
Christian
The Reverend Canon Christian Heycocks BA MA CTM Royal Navy Vicar of Sheringham and Honorary Canon of Norwich Cathedral
We remember the following servants of this church who have sadly passed away during this last year:
Dorothy Hancock Norman Barnes Doris Pegg Peter Adams Peggy Archard Sally Quarterman David Rivett
May their souls rest in peace and rise in glory.
CHURCHWARDEN’S ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Constance Tyce
Unfortunately, this year we were unable to appoint any Churchwardens, so it was decided to distribute the various roles and responsibilities to members of the PCC. Julie Rubidge leads a team to fulfil the role of Sacristan, Christine Handley a team of Stewards, Carole Broadhead leads the team of church cleaners and Penny Jefferies produces the reading rota. Andy Clegg has taken on the role of ensuring any technology we use is working and supporting our ministry. There are other individuals who have also agreed to help ensure the church is ready for worship on a Sunday. Many thanks to you all and to the members of the congregation who have offered their services to support these teams.

MINISTRY AT ST PETER’S
Julie Rubidge
We continue to prepare an Act of Worship and Message from the Minister each week, sent out with the newsletter and posted on our website and social media pages every Sunday so as to include those who cannot attend the services.
Further to their attendance at the Shared Vocations Space offered by the diocese to those exploring their calling during 2022/3, Richard Clothier was trained and licensed as a Pastoral Assistant during 2024 and Toby Perks was selected for training as a Licensed Lay Minister in a two year course which began in August. We were delighted to welcome Iain Grant as our curate at St Petertide.
Our ministry team consists of the Vicar, The Reverend Canon Christian Heycocks, The Revd Christina Rees, Curate Iain Grant, The Revd Malcolm France, The Revd Pat Hopkins, The Revd Mother Julie Wiseman SSL, The Revd Father Andrew Lane SSL, Pastoral Assistant Richard Clothier, Licensed Lay Ministers Angela Stewart and Julie Rubidge, and trainee LLM Toby Perks.
We offer weekly church services of Holy Communion on Thursdays at 11am (traditional language) and Sunday mornings at 10am (Common Worship), taking Hoy Communion to people who are housebound and to the residential homes for elderly people in the town. As well as leading services of worship we conduct weddings, funerals and baptisms - the latter in the sea or within the church. These services and our day by day pastoral ministry are offered to everyone who lives in our parish, whether or not they attend church services.
You may ask questions about faith or calling into ministry to any member of the team, or make enquiries through our website or Facebook page.
We give thanks for all that our Ministry Team offers. Each character makes a very valuable contribution toward the whole mission of our church.
FABRIC, FURNISHINGS AND POSSESION
Richard Jonas
All testing and annual servicing to electrical equipment, electrical systems and the lightning conductor have been completed. By certified and competent companies. The terrier has been updated and is being verified at this moment.
Following two years of no or little heat in the church, repairs and updates to the heating system have been completed and after a few teething problems the heating system is up and running well. I think we all agree to that is good to come into a warm church. We still welcome donations toward the cost of these works.
A new cooker has been installed in the hall kitchen the old one was having problems due to faulty thermostats, giving its age a repair was not the best options. However the replacement was funded by a generous legacy.
Additional works planned for the coming year will be to make improvements to the wild life garden and install some more benches. We also need to attend to the paving in the car park and look at replacing the Victorian lamp near the oak tree that was damaged in the gale. Plans are also in hand to look at and replace lighting behind and over the High Altar, the Side Chapel and attend to the lighting in the hall and kitchen.

FINANCIAL REPORT FOR 2022
Doug Tuthill, Hon. Treasurer
INCOME £110812
Planned Giving (£38599)
32 givers using the Parish Giving Scheme, 15 choosing a standing order and only 5 giving regularly by envelope. Although the amount of planned giving has remained the same, we are losing our numbers and they are not being replaced.
Collections at services (£10469) we can claim Gift Aid on £8000 of loose change giving so we are potentially losing income if you are a tax payer. With Barclays closing in the near future, we face an issue with the amount of cash and coin which has to be paid over the post office counter. If you haven’t joined the Parish Giving Scheme yet, please pick up an application form in the church or point your phone camera at the QR code.
Fundraising (£26986) A magnificent effort by everyone connected with Sheringham Church
EXPENDITURE £110078
Church Running Expenses (£14155) The biggest costs being £5092 for Insurance and £4256 for routine repairs and maintenance.
Church Utility Bills (£6232) Below budget because of the broken heating system
BALANCE SHEET (+£734)
An increased balance due to a legacy.
SUMMARY
The PCC is concerned that the accounts show a net loss for the last 6 years with legacies removed from the income. The failure of the gas heating system has shown that we cannot continue on this route because another disaster could cause the PCC serious financial difficulty reliant on the goodwill of the congregation. So, after a meeting between the Archdeacon of Lynn and the PCC, it has been agreed that Sheringham will agree a balanced budget for 2025 which means paying only 58% of the Parish Share ask.
Going forward we will be in the same situation for the foreseeable future with the number of our regular givers falling. If you are giving by standing order, envelope or cash in the collection plate, please change to the Parish Giving Scheme and encourage anyone interested in the future of St Peters to do the same.

ST PETER’S CHOIR AND MUSIC DEPARTMENT
Philip Adams, Organist and Director of Music
This year the choir continues to work well together. There are around 10 to 12 regular members who are very loyal and hardworking. A range of illnesses amongst the choir have meant an occasional drop in choir attendance but all have been very resilient and are continuing to sing on, if a little less regularly, during treatments.
Rehearsals are enjoyable and productive, we have learnt a good number of new anthems and motets for the church’s year. Evensong was reintroduced once a month from May to October 2024, and included a visit from Holy Trinity, Eaton, which even got us coverage in the local press. Evensong has proved to be very popular with choir and congregation. We hope to do the same this year with invitations for other choirs to join us.
Four Summer Tea Concerts of Piano solo, Piano and Organ, Violin and Piano, Organ solo throughout July and August, proved to be very popular. Tea being served before the music starts. More are planned for the summer season on Saturdays in 2025.
The very fine organ at St. Peter’s is being used well for services, and for solo concerts as well as an accompanying instrument for visiting choral society concerts; and for lessons to encourage new players. It has been a privilege to be part of this church.
Another very enjoyable year for me working with the choir, arranging the music for services and giving, and arranging concerts, and playing the fine organ. We regularly receive complements from the congregation, indicating their deep appreciation of the music we sing, and the historical relevance of maintaining a tradition, occasionally reaching back into the 16[th] century, helping to give beauty, meaning and devotion through music. We are constantly on the lookout for new members, so any information about potential singers is welcome, young or old!
STEWARDS
Christine Handley
There are 11 Stewards on the rota, ready to welcome people into church for the services. They have taken on extra duties since we have no Churchwardens, in helping to prepare the church for services, and clearing and tidying up afterwards. We can always do with more Stewards as there are often extra services to be covered. Anyone who would like to become involved is very welcome. Please speak to one of the clergy or to Christine Handley and they can tell you what is involved. With many thanks to those on the rota for their commitment.
CHURCH FLOWERS
Shirley Longlands
Flowers are still provided at no cost to church funds. Thanks to you all for your donations, your memories of loved ones and remembering your special occasions. The flower displays provide a cheerful welcoming feature to help with our worship and are a great comfort to many people. There are now only five of us now so we really could do with more volunteers. So if you would like to help please speak to Shirley Longlands.
Thanks to all the willing arrangers who freely give their time and talents. Also to Rodney and Angela Gwynn for their help with the plants in boxes outside the church. Donations are always welcomed.

THE FOOD BANK
Chris Player Food Bank Co-ordinator
The North Norfolk Food Bank (then known as the Cromer and District Food Bank) was established in 2011 and the sad news is that, after nearly 15 years it remains a much needed and vitally important local charity offering support to the growing number of eligible people suffering from food poverty. In 2024 the Food Bank team provided direct support to almost 5000 individuals and families including 1770 children.
Thankfully, the good news is that the members of our church remain understanding of, and sympathetic to the needs and circumstances of these people and have continued to make regular donations which enable the Food Bank to develop and extend its support to others. .Jules Hunter Jennings ( Food Bank Manager ) writes that her team is; ‘ so thankful for the donations provided by the church .The total for 2024 was nearly 400kg !’ .
Whilst, fully concurring with Jules’s praise about the weight / amount of donations I have ,also been consistently pleased with and impressed by the quality as much as the quantity of donations made . There are many broad social , spiritual and emotional consequences of food poverty beyond the hunger induced physical and health outcomes. For instance, when limited financial resources need to be exclusively focussed on food, toiletries and essential household goods, there is little opportunity for people to be able to experience, share and enjoy the treats and celebrations traditionally associated with, Easter, summer holidays, Christmas etc. It has, therefore been wonderful to see how many imaginative, appropriate and caring gifts and messages have been donated in response to our Special Appeals (Easter, Spring, Summer holidays, Harvest, Christmas) and to know how much these are appreciated by the recipients. The 2025 Appeals calendar will follow the similar pattern of a mix of consistent appeals for the basic provisions needed for Healthy Living supplemented by seasonal appeals for extras which can contribute to a ‘Good Life’.
As the Foodbank coordinator I also wish to express my personal and sincere gratitude to the congregation, the PCC, the clergy and other members of the Church team for their continued interest, guidance and support for this project.
COMTEMPLATIVE PRAYER AND MEDITATION GROUP
Felicity Tomlinson
The recently formed St Peter’s Group for contemplative (silent) prayer and meditation has been encouraging. We meet in the home of Felicity Tomlinson on the last Monday of each month from 3 – 4 pm.
We would welcome anyone who is interested to come along. For further information speak with one of the ministry team.
SUPPERS TOGETHER
Christine Handley
We have had a full year with speakers on various subjects including Anna Chaplaincy work, Safe guarding in the Church, school chaplaincy, the mission and ministry in the Cathedral, the work of the Diocesan Director of ordinands, our curate Iain on the Exodus & our local policeman on his work. We look forward to another year of interesting speakers. Many thanks to our great team of cooks under the leadership of Ali Kerridge. Their December offering of a turkey supper with all the trimmings was greatly appreciated by all who came.

BIBLE STUDY GROUP
Julie Rubidge
With the kind permission of the manager of Crossways, we continued to meet there monthly for our Bible study during 2024 on the third Wednesday of each month.
In our group we aim to enjoy the Bible and each other’s company, and the insights shared in the conversations which ensue from the readings. These often drift and lead into connections with the world of today.
We began the year by wondering how much we could remember of the parables of the Good Samaritan, the Lost Sheep, and the Prodigal Son and then the Easter story without looking. It is always good fun to do this with Bible stories, we’re pleased by how much we remember and surprised at how much we don’t. We learn a lot along the way.
We then began to read the Acts of the Apostles, which has taken us in many directions as we have entered into conversations about today’s world, including tongues and languages; boldness in speaking the truth and being aware of scams and lies; thinking about politics and integrity; being brave enough to speak about our faith and Jesus; stepping up to the mark when we need to; about Israel and Gaza, and Ethiopia; sin and why there is evil in the world; responsibility; the origins of the Church and different religions; and death and ‘Assisted Dying’.
I encourage everyone to enjoy reading the Bible.
FUNDRAISING AT ST PETER’S
Christine Furneaux
Fundraising activities have continued apace this past year, with monthly books sales and refreshments, Suppers Together, raffles at many events, four Artisan Markets, refreshments provided at concerts, and the wonderful series of afternoon tea concerts. All of which together raised approximately £20,000; a notinconsiderable sum which represents 250% of the projected budget.
None of this would be possible without the extremely hard work of our volunteers. Many thanks to all of those who give up their time willingly to bake, cook, wash-up, serve refreshments and meals, move furniture, locate and book stallholders for the markets, sell books, publicise events, clean up the church after events, and practise for and, perform at, concerts.
Jenny’s “Shopping List” appeal was again very successful and has saved St Peter’s from having to spend funds on buying daily essentials. Thank you also to those who donate raffle prizes, cakes, scones, wine, meals, books etc for our events.
I apologise if I have left anyone out, but, needless to say, it has been another incredibly successful year.
As stated above, volunteers are absolutely crucial for the running of all these events, and we do need more volunteers. Please think about whether there anything that you can do to help, however small, towards supporting our fundraising efforts.

NOAH’S ARK BABY AND TODDLER GROUP
Hillary Rayment and Constance Tyce
Noah’s Ark continues to grow with many families joining us each week. Some weeks we are pleased to welcome over 45 children and babies along with their parents or carers including grandparents! We have some families who travel from as far as Norwich to join our group!
We provide a range of exciting activities, which encourage the children to use their imagination and develop their confidence. During the year we have covered various themes such as colours, their senses and Heuristic Play which develops the children’s natural curiosity. Some of the activities are very messy which the children enjoy and the parents appreciate as they do not have to do the clearing up!! It is fascinating to watch what the such young children can do with different resources. For example, a very popular activity is watching the chiffon scarves float up to the ceiling above the heaters now they are working!!!
We continue to offer a clothes swap on a monthly basis, which is very popular with the parents especially at this time. Baby scales are still available for parents to see how their children are growing and Aime from ‘Slings by the Sea’ is a regular visitor to the group giving support and advice on sling wearing. During the year we have been able to give out free baby warm bags from Norfolk County Council, which include new babygrows, sleeping bags and a hand knitted hat and gloves.
This year we have been pleased to welcome Ladybird Preschool Nursery and their parents and carers for their Harvest and Christmas celebrations. We provided some creative activities and refreshments and an opportunity to explore the church. Thank you to Christian and Iain for their involvement!
We are always grateful for all the help we receive from many different people. To Sally, Harri and Josie who come and help with our messy activities, to Katie, Kelly and Jess who are responsible for our wonderful snack and to the mums, dads and grandparents who stay on at the end of the session to help put things away. Finally thanks to our early morning helpers Hazel and Steve Randall and Andy Clegg who faithfully turn up to help set up and ensure that everything returns to normal at the end ! Thank you to you all we could not do it without you!
DIOCESAN GROW COURSE
Rev’d Iain Grant
For the past few months, a group of us have been attending the GROW course in Norwich at Diocesan invitation. The course has been put together by the Gregory Centre for Church Multiplication in London and has seen a group of five, very different, parishes from across the Diocese come together to share in learning, fellowship and ideas.
The course outlines and learning have enabled and facilitated expansive conversations amongst our group about ways forward for St Peter’s. From these conversations we have reviewed our Mission Statement – which the congregation may have noticed appearing more prominently on parish information and the notices. We’ve also explored new avenues to reach different people within our parish. Amongst the wide variety of ideas discussed has included expanding our online presence to include live streaming of services: something which was successfully tested with our Service for Ukraine.
In attending the course and sharing in discussions with one another we are all working towards growing our church. This is not just in terms of the numbers of people coming but includes a far more expansive remit to examine how each of us grows in faith, witness and love for one another and Christ Jesus. The course continues through into the Summer months and there will be, I’m sure, many more exciting things happening. APCM 2025 9

Monday Cuppa runs every Monday morning including Bank Holidays in St Peter’s Church Hall from 10am until midday, offering a warm welcoming space, a hot drink and a biscuit - or possibly a scone or cake - to all who would like to drop in for refreshments and company, whoever you are.
Monday Cuppa is not aimed toward any specific group of people. It is here for everybody who wants to call in, whether for a few minutes or for hours, including people with mental health issues. There is no charge, and there are no expectations: we are happy to simply be with those who come, whether or not you wish to talk, or to sit with anybody else. We are not there to fix or to counsel anyone. We don’t have clinical expertise. We assume that those who arrive will be sufficiently capable of finding your own way home.
At least two of those attending from the church have regular safeguarding training. Alongside me our team currently consists of Richard Clothier, Angela Stewart, Christine McEvoy, Jenny Comper and Toby Perks among others who attend regularly and/or help wherever they can. Grateful thanks are extended to each one of them for their commitment week by week.
Donations toward costs are gratefully received, as are items donated via Jenny’s ‘Shopping Lists’ which are posted in the church from time to time.
We look forward to seeing you at Monday Cuppa, whoever you are.
ECO CHURCH
Paul Newman
Eco-church is one part of the Church of England’s environmental and sustainability strategy, which currently led by the Bishop of Norwich, The Rt Revd Graham Usher. This is a subject that is constantly under review, as human knowledge expands, and Diocesan policy has been altered and developed during this year. Our Bishop and other speakers explained the main points of the new policy and its potential impact on parishes at a Conference held in Wiverton Parish Church in June 2024, at which St Peters was represented and to which we have contributed a response that was also circulated to our PCC members.
In 2024, we received a certificate for an Eco-Church Silver Award, which is on display in the church building. At the Wiverton Conference, a speaker from A Rocha, a Christian Charity who administer the scheme, which is available to a wide range of worship communities, explained that the criteria for different categories of the award are under review and will be renewed in due course.
The major change announced by the Bishop was that the Chancellor of the Diocese, who oversees the Diocese planning processes, has agreed that work to Church buildings that can show evidence that it could improve environmental performance will be viewed favourably, regardless of the listed status of such structures. The example that was used to illustrate what this might mean to parishes involved an explanation of substantial improvements made to the Grade One listed St. Peter Mancroft Church in the centre of Norwich that included fitting solar panels on the roof. In support of this policy, the Church Commissioners, who administer the collective funds of the Church of England, have announced that they are prepared to spend up to £190 million to help finance appropriate projects during the period up to 2030. In addition, the Diocese has employed a ‘Net Zero’ Advisor, who can help to help guide parishes and benefices to be able to decide what might be the appropriate technical solution to their particular problems. It is hoped that he will visit St Peters, Sheringham during 2025.

LIBRARY OF INSPIRATION
Toby Perks
The Library in St Peter’s Church, Sheringham, had for a long time been cooped up in a display cabinet, invisible almost and certainly inaccessible, behind the table enshrining the money-machine. After care of the library came to me mid-2024, some changes were carried out, the first being a swap over to the “café” side of the church but still sardined into a display cabinet. It was, however, now accessible. Next, it was agreed a table could be set up on Sundays (and other event days) and I purchased some plastic book-display stands to better attract attention to titles being promoted at any given time.
Further developments occurred through the thought, energy and imagination of our Curate, Rev. Iain Grant that saw the re-purposing of some existing bookcases which were moved over to the former Children’s Corner which itself, consequently, was moved into the centre of the worship area. With some comfortable seating installed, an attractive reading area has been created.
To date, take-up has been minimal and extremely slow - on Sundays, at least. What use of the library is made during the week is unknown unless spotted, but not especially noted, on CCTV by Jenny in her office! The books are available to anyone when the church is open, seven days a week, with no monitoring done – no signing out and in or any such policing practice. It all functions on an honesty basis as also are the “Returns”. A crate is provided for this purpose. Hopefully, we will be able to arrange and categorise the books we have – and many more have been donated in these past few weeks, for which we are very grateful. When completed, the books will be arranged according to subject matter and alphabetically - like in a “proper” library!
May we appeal to you: do not be afraid to borrow books! There is something for everyone and to address a wide range of interests and needs: Theology, Biography, Church History, Prayer, Pastoring, Poetry, Practical Christianity, Spirituality and Worship, to name but a few examples.
Toby has extensive knowledge of what is in the library and is very happy to advise and direct all who pluck up the courage to improve their intellectual, and spiritual understanding of living the life of Christ.
“Do not be conformed to this world,” wrote St. Paul, “but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.”
…and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind , and with all your strength.”
HAPPY AND FRUITFUL READING!
CHURCH CLEANING
Carole Broadhead
Our small team of faithful and much appreciated volunteers continue to come into church each week to sweep and dust the main areas of the building. This is done on a rota basis, however twice a year, in May and November with the help of extra volunteers we try to give the church a more thorough clean.
But there are still areas which we would like to tackle. For example, the hall which really is in need of attention as the windows are quite dirty and we could do with a window cleaner. The link too is in need of a better clean but these jobs take time. We would always welcome any extra help from people if they have a couple of hours spare a week and would like to help. Just give me a call!

ACTION PLANNING GROUP
Julie Rubidge
The Action Planning group meets two or three times each year to review existing initiatives and consider new ideas. This helps to identify issues preventing progress of individual actions, exploration of practicalities and information gathering for mooted ideas, and presentation to the PCC for approval of actions to take forward.
During 2024 we Prayerfully, Pastorally and Prophetically made progress:
An Authorised Pastoral Assistant was trained and commissioned;
A Lent course was offered, entitled ‘Looking Forward’;
A programme of concerts was offered over the course of the year which included The Sheringham Shantymen, Sheringham and Cromer Choral society, North Norfolk Sinfonia, Cantamus, Norwich Phoenix Male Voice Choir, Oddfellows Brass Band, and lovely Summer Teatime Concerts by Philip Adams, Michael Finnissy, Roger Garland and David Ballard;
Soundbathing sessions took place;
A lovely ‘Follow the Stars’ display was created;
The side chapel was revamped, to include seasonal interactive prayer stations;
Our Service Booklets were revised;
We provided the first of what will be an annual High School Pupil Award;
Intercessions and Vocal Training Workshops took place;
Prayer request avenues were ascertained;
A ‘Being With’ course was offered; and the ‘Library of Inspiration’ was launched;
We became a member of Acts435;
We reviewed information about services, and provided new leaflets;
We began to use the screen at our Sunday services;
We agreed on a new five-year International Charity - The Li Tim-Oi Foundation, which helps with training costs for female ministers worldwide;
The heating system was repaired; and we achieved a Silver Eco Church award.
Please refer to the attached Action Plan to see what we have in store for St Peter’s as we continue to make progress in 2025.
Thank you to everyone who contributes ideas, time and energy to achieve so much year by year in our church.
