Ministerial support has been provided by the Team Rector and the broader Benefice team together with the laity within the parish. Early in 2020 the parish was approached by the ministry team at St. John the Baptist Church, Clarendon Park. Leicester, who are a 'Resourcing Church" within the Leicester Di0￿se, whose aim is to make a bigger difference to other churches in greater need. They have provided ministerial support in leading our services and through a period of consultation and discernment we have jointly agreed a new strategy for St Peterfs, which will in 2021 see the licensing of a Team Vicar and a full time Curate to support the work of the Oadby Church. Parish of St Peter, Oadby Oadby Parochial Church Council (PCC) had the responsibility of co-operating with the Team Rector. the Revd. Steve Bailey, in promoting the ecclesiastical parish of St Peter, Oadby, seeking to further the whole mission of the parish, and engaging in Christian worship, pastoral care, evangelistic outreach, and fostering community well-being.

A82602FA-05994B74-AgD4OE6485FB22C6 Oadby Parochial Church Council Year Ending 31 December 2020 Annual Report Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the Annual Parochial Church Meeting was deferred until 4th October 2020. At the first meeting the following officials were elected.. Vice Chair Secretary Treasurer Electoral Roll Officer Insurance officer Mr Jonathan Cryer Mrs Sian Davies Mr Mick Dunn Mrs Rita Shrigley Mrs Linda Whitman This meeting also agreed the Standing Committee: Rev S Bailey Mr M Dunn Mr M Ward Mr D Smith Mrs P Ellson Mrs S Davies The Standing Committee is a legally constituted sub-committee of the PCC. It meets between full PCC meetings and serves the PCC by preparing agendas and conducting urgent business which cannot wait for the next full meeting. It may also prepare briefings for the PCC to infom their discussion. sin￿ 181 January 2020 there have been 7 meetings of the new PCC and g meetings of the Standing Committee. Coronavirus 2020 At the time of preparing this report the Coronavirus pandemic is affecting the whole world, with implications for the financial situation of most churches including St Peterfs and as to how the church continues to operate. This at a time when we are in interregnum, without a Team Vicar, and with the church itself closed for major internal repairs. Although in following national Church of England guidelines, with the church building itself closed, and no weddings or funerals pemiitted, the church is very much alive. We have embraced modern comrnunication technology and are able to stream live seniices from Sl Peterfs Centre, access prayer meetings and other services from many local churches and keep in regular contacl with members of our church family. As a result of the closure of the Parish Centre there will be a loss of rental income from the many organisations which use the facility, and there is also some impact on financial giving. As a result, the PCC made the decision. for purely business reasons. to 'Yurlough" its part-time employees. Whilst the next several months may well be challenging, the church has seen challenges over many generations and will no doubt continue to be a place of God's presen￿ for generations lo come.

A82602FA-05994B74-AgD4OE6485FB22C6 Oadby Parochial Church Council Year Endlng 31 December 2020 Annual Report Structure, Governance, and Management The PCC of the Parish of Oadby is required, as stated in the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956, to co-operate with the Team Rector and Ministry Team in promoting in the Parish the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. Charity law requires the Parochial Church Council (PCC) Members, who act as trustees under charity law, to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the PCC'S financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the PCC Members should follow best practi￿ and: select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently to make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent, state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been foll0v￿d, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements, prepare the financial statements on an on-going con￿rn basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the PCC will continue in operation. Objectives and Activities The PCC is committed to fostering accessible and reverent worship at St Peterfs that is attractive and relevant to the people of Oadby. A primary aim is to enable people to belong to a loving, supportive Christian community.. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and has encouraged excellence in the Sunday and weekday services in a range of different worship styles which seek to cater for all age-groups and a wide range of preferences. All our seniices seek to put faith into practi￿ through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. When planning our activities for the year, the incumbent and the PCC have (in accordan￿ with the Commission's guidelines) been particularly Con￿rned about the public benefrt of what we do in the parish as well as the adhering to the specific guidance given to charities for the advan￿ment of religion. In all our work, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of their church community through: Worship and prayer,- learning about the Gospel. and developing their relationship with Jesus as Lord and Saviour. Providing pastoral care for people living in the Parish. Evangelistic outreach work. To facilitate this work, it is important to maintain the fabric of all our buildings- St Peterfs Church, St Peter's Centre; and 1 Leicester Road; Oadby. Docusign En¥ÈlopÈ ID." A82602FA-05994B74-AgD4OE6485FB22C6 Oadby Parochial Church Councll Year Endlng 31 December 2020 Annual Report Achievements and Performance Worship and Prayer Until the effect of the Coronavirus pandemic, the PCC provided a range of ServI￿S that those who attend have found beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. Sunday worship has continued to attract good attendances, while the mid-week Holy Communions have continued to provide a quiet, intimate style of worship. There has been a strong emphasis on communicating the Christian faith through preaching, teaching, and multi-media presentations. All are welcome to attend ServI￿S at St Peterfs. At present there are 135 persons on the Church Electoral Roll. St Peter's Sunday attendance averaged 79 (70 adults and 9 children). The Christmas Services were well attended and were of high quality. As well as the regular services, the parish enables the community to ￿lebrate and thank God at the milestones of the joumey through life. Through baptism we thank God for the gfft of new life. in marriage, public vows are exchanged with God's blessing,. and through funeral servI￿s, friends and family express their grief and give thanks for the life which is now complete in this world and to commend the person into God's keeping. At St Peter's, due to the pandemic, there were no weddings or baptisms. but we have conducted 25 funerals in the period be￿een 1$tJanuary 2020 to 31StDecember 2020. . Deanery Synod Three of the PCC sit on the Deanery Synod in addition to Ihe clergy. From January 2020 to December 2020, 2 Deanery Synod meetings took place, focusing on the end of one Synod and the beginning of a newly elected one, which was delayed due to the pandemic. Reports are circulated in advan￿ of the meeting and business is kept brief at the end of the evening. The Team Rector, Rev. S. Bailey is the current Rural Dean for this area. st Peterfs chU￿h & Major W0￿S The Parish is committed to engaging with the wider community. We want our church to be open for private prayer and our buildings to be used widely by the community. St Peter's Church remained open for prayer each day. The God focussed purpose of the church is clear to all users, through the V￿11-11t chancel which poinls to the Word of God in Jesus. Following the recommendations made at an earlier QLiinquennial Inspection, work commenced in September 2020 to repair the interior church walls, necessitating the closure of the church for up to six months to allow the contractors to remove all the old pointing to the stonework and the re- pointing and plastering of the walls. The cost of this project is estimated to be in the region of £200,000.00. Thanks to the generosity of church members, the local community and various grants it is hoped that little of the reserves held in Church Funds will be needed to meet the drfference. The church is not VAT registered but we are able to reclaim any VAT charged from the Government 'Listed Places of Worship Scheme" Church services were initially moved to the Parish Centre on a limited basis and also streamed to church members unable to attend. When the government annoUn￿d a lockdown at the end of the year the PCC made a decision to close the Centre on safety grounds. Live services continue to be provided either electronically or in various fonnats which can be supplied to church members unable to access modern technology. Docusign En¥ÈlopÈ ID." A82602FA-05994B74-AgD4OE6485FB22C6 Oadby Parothial Church Councll Year Ending 31 December 2020 Annual Report In the early part of the year and in periods outside of "Lockdowns., St Peterfs Centre, continued to be used greatly by the wider community of Oadby, thus fulfilling an important social and outreach need as well as generating income for the parish. Among the many users of the Centre were St Peter's Lunch Club, Asian Lunch Club, Keep Fit and sporting groups, St John's Ambulance, the Stroke Club, Drama and Dance Classes, Guides, Scouts, Brownies, Cubs and Beavers. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, St Peterfs had to cancel the twice weekly Luncheon Club, with unfortunate consequences for the many elderly and frail attendees and caused the enforced redundancy of OUT trrfo part-time cooks. The various closures of the Centre throughout the year have seen a noti￿able loss of church income. Some members of the parish are unable to attend church due to sickness or age. At St Peter's, Diane Purves and Jean Geall have brought Home Communion to those who have requested it. Mission and Evangelism The Parish of Oadby continues to be challenged by demographic change in Oadby and changes in society towards churchgoing. Christine Broad oversaw the running of Peter's Place, with a team of willing helpers. Important links with our Mission Partners have been sustained. The parish continues to support our Mission Partners with CMS, Steve & Catriona Bennetts who are now working in Gahini, Rwanda. Oadby. St Peterfs has elected to contribute £6,000 to the Donations budget, often supporting overseas charitable projects. Safeguarding Safeguarding continues to be of paramount importance. Juliet Bewley is the Oadby St Peter's Parish's Safeguarding Officer. Reserves Policy It is the PCC'S policy to maintain adequate cash reserves within the general and designated funds each year to cover operational costs for on-going gross salaries and essential running costs as well as allowing for necessary repairs and replacement of equipment used by the church. The reserves in the General Fund have been maintained in accordan￿ with the Archdeacon's recommendations for a robust Reserves Policy. Wothplace Pensions The PCC pays its employees a minimum of the Living Wage and provides a non-contributory Workpla￿ pension to members of the lay staff so entitled through a scheme run by National Employment Savings Trust (NEST) and set up by the Government The Future Despite the effect of the Coronavirus Pandemic on both the church income for 2020, the ability to provide actual church services and the provision of community faciltties, it is the opinion of the PCC that St Peterfs has sufficient robust reserves and commitment to remain a going concern for at least the next 12 months.
