NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1. Accounting policies
- a. Accounting Convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations together with the current Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities and applicable accounting standard FRS102.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the inclusion of investments at market value and the revaluation of fixed assets. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their affiliation to another body, nor those which are informal gatherings of church members.
b. Funds Accounting
Funds held by the PCC are:
Unrestricted funds - general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

THE RECTOR’S REPORT
As is my custom, the first thing I would like you to read in this report is a list of all the people I need to thank for making the mission and ministry of Hutton Parish not only possible, but vibrant and exciting too.
2022 saw our team grow and change once again, and despite the challenges of having to support four other clergy and two LLM’s, a large Pastoral Support Team, Church Wardens and over 200 volunteers in and around Daily Bread, I know that God has continued to support and uphold us as we seek to make Jesus Christ known in the parish (and beyond).
My thanks therefore must go to: Fr Tony, Revd Lisa, Revd Deacon Alice, Revd Sue, Tino To, Chris Thomas, Alex Underwood, Jason Manning, Lynn Rae, Adrian Thompson, Kevin Lim, Eve Byles, Derek Bevans and Annie Bayley for their hard work in leading so many key areas of our ministry. Particular recognition also needs to go to your Church Wardens: Terry Hayden, David Morten, Dawn Shaxon, June Sykes and Michelle Yarwood, with special thanks going to Carole Bradford and Dawn White as they stepped down as All Saints Wardens (well done, good and faithful servants!)
We were also hugely grateful to welcome Natalie Slater to our Parish Office, as she took on the role as Daily Bread Administrator, working to support Revd Lisa in her Community Outreach role. Natalie will also work alongside our current Parish Administrator, Dawn Shaxon, in keeping the office running smoothly and efficiently on day-to-day basis.
If 2021 was about recovery and growth post Covid, then 2022 allowed us to see some of the fruits of that stability and organisation. At the start of the year, the leadership team felt prompted to develop more “doorways” into the life of the church. There were a number of verses from scripture that nudged us in this direction:
Psalm 24: 7
Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.
John 10:7
So Jesus said to them again, “Very truly, I tell you, I am the gate of the sheep.
Acts 14:27
On arriving there, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.
We wanted to focus on broadening the ways in which those on the fringes of church life could move towards the ultimate doorway which is Jesus Christ, recognising the dual reality that people go through “doors of faith” and Jesus, in turn enters into the hearts of his
4
people. This was developed as a way of framing a life of discipleship as each of us journey towards Jesus, and captured in our vision statement from 2019:
“Be With Jesus, Be Like Jesus, Do What Jesus Did”
This vision statement felt somewhat lost as we went through the challenges of Covid and lockdowns, but I am glad that the Spirit has prompted us to pick it up again and make it the focus of our mission, ministry and evangelism in this next stage of parish life.
You can read about how the different areas pf parish life have broadened their “doors” this year in the rest of this report. I will highlight a few moments that have stood out for me this year, before guiding us in thinking about the coming year and its challenges and opportunities.
Sunday worship has continued to flourish at St Peter’s, with an ever-growing Children’s Church and Youth provision. We have had to revert to closing the partition screen between the church and the hall to give 30+ children the space to explore the Bible and worship together without the distraction of the church service limiting what can be done by the brilliant Children’s Church Team. The older children are now using the chapel as their own space during Sunday worship twice a month.
It was a great joy to welcome the now former Bishop of Bradwell, John Perumbalath to St Peter’s for a Confirmation service in late January. We had 22 candidates aged between 10 and “ well over 21 ”, and it was a joyful and holy occasion. Holy Week and Easter were also memorable, as we were able to bring back a full Triduum celebration including foot washing and Benediction at the Mass of the Last Supper on Maundy Thursday, and the Easter Vigil on the evening of Holy Saturday. This was then rounded off with Easter Sunday Baptisms and First Communions for several our Children’s Church members, and an vibrant ecumenical evening of prayer and praise at the CEW service. Praise the Lord!
Our civic functions were on full display too, with the Diamond Jubilee celebrations and our charity concert seeing international concert pianist (and parishioner) Alisdair Hogarth performing alongside our Parish Organist Adrian Thompson and the Brentwood Collective Gospel Band. We later held a service of commemoration for the Late Queen in September, following her death, which saw members of the parish and wider community gather together to mourn and give thanks for the life and ministry of Elizabeth II.
Our other and most obvious highlight was to see two new curates ordained and welcomed into their new roles. Our very own Revd Deacon Alice Smith and the Revd Sue Goldsmith, joining us from Christ Church, Billericay were ordained in September by the Bishop of Chelmsford in the cathedral. Revd Deacon Alice will continue in her role as the leader of Rooted Community alongside her paid employment and Revd Sue will offer ministry amongst us on Sundays and when she’s not working as a full time English teacher on Canvey Island.
To top this off, Revd Lisa Whymark was ordained as Priest in Chelmsford in early October. This was another opportunity to celebrate, particularly in light of the personal difficulties
5
Revd Lisa has faced recently and a good reminder of God’s faithfulness. The parish hog roast to celebrate our three parish curates was a special day which so many joined us for.
Many of you will be aware that our diocesan finances are under enormous stress at present, and 2022 saw the introduction of a new parish share scheme for 2023. In my role as Area Dean, I was tasked with supporting the delivery of the scheme in Brentwood Deanery, something which was both challenging and time consuming – not least as the threat of clergy job cuts looks ever more likely if funds cannot be raised between now and 2025. I’ll be speaking about this in more detail in the coming months.
However, I’m very proud to report that we paid our Parish Share to the Diocese in full for the 3[rd] year in a row. This is an incredible feat - we have to find somewhere in the region of £80,000 to cover this cost. In a year which has seen the cost-of-living crisis deepen, with wages stagnating and bills soaring, I am so grateful to each of you who give sacrificially, financially and in your time and ongoing prayers to support our shared ministry.
Once again, I must ask you all to review your giving for 2023 as we have seen a £10,000 increase in our Parish Share for 2023, and we now employ four people to help make the ministry we offer viable. As I have said in previous years, we aren’t a parish that has any kind of reserves or “rainy day fund”. What we generate through giving, donations, fund raising and hall rentals etc. is what we have. I would encourage you all to sign up to the “Parish Giving Scheme” – the Direct Debit programme that allows you to donate monthly, that also collects the Gift Aid for us automatically, ensuring we can budget for the year. The Scheme also allows you to increase your giving in line with inflation annually.
Please do have a look at the website: www.parishgiving.org.uk and search for “ Hutton All Saints with St Peter “and watch out for the upcoming 2023 Lent teaching series on giving.
I look forward to celebrating and rejoicing in what God has been doing in Hutton throughout the coming year. May we continue to look for “doors” that people can step through in order that Jesus might be made known - and that he might be glorified!
Let us pray for one another that we might be strengthened and equipped to “ Be with Jesus, be like Jesus, and do what Jesus did” in 2023.
With every blessing,
Fr Andy Smith - Rector

ELECTORAL ROLL
There are 166 on the Church Electoral Roll, of which 38 are not resident in the parish. 10 names were added during the year. 7 names were removed, either through death or because they have moved away from the parish or became a Clerk in Holy Orders.
Christine Bennett
THE PCC
The full PCC has met six times since the last APCM with an average level of attendance of 81%. Committees also met between meetings and their written updates were received by the full PCC and discussed where necessary. PCC Meetings consistently involve both group discussion and active worship. A number of PCC members attended Stations of the Cross in Lent, a humbling reminder of Jesus’ sacrifice and gift to us. We have celebrated the rapid growth of our ministry team in 2022 with the ordinations of Revd Lisa Whymark, Revd Alice Smith and Revd Sue Goldsmith. In the latter part of the year, the PCC has become more involved in and accountable for Daily Bread’s operations and we have seen greater investment and pastoral ministry in the Café and Food Hub as well as in the areas of Children’s Church and Youth Group which were of particular focus for this year. I will be stepping down as Secretary this year after four years; it has been a privilege to undertake the role.
Alex Underwood - PCC Secretary
BRENTWOOD DEANERY SYNOD
Deanery Synod met three times during 2022, at St. George’s Brentwood, St. Mary the Virgin Fryerning and St. Mary’s School Shenfield.
Meetings were chaired by the Lay Chair, Canon Paul Betts and by Father Andy Smith, Area Dean of Brentwood. Dawn Shaxon was Deanery Secretary, the other Hutton Parish representatives being Tino To and John Patterson.
Synod and guests heard three presentations from guest speakers:
January 2022 – Revd Rob Merchant, Dean of Mission for Chelmsford Diocese. April 2022 – Revd Susan Iskander, Diocesan Living in Love and Faith Representative. October 2022 – Mr Graham Headley – Christians Against Poverty (CAP) Debt Centre Manager in Brentwood
The new parish share scheme for 2023 was also introduced with the Area Dean and Lay Chair working hard to ensure the Deanery roll-out was successful. The was a fair amount of
7
disruption and upset with the new scheme, particularly for parishes facing large increases in the payments, and for parishes who have little to no resources. Deanery Clergy numbers have reduced from 8 full time and 2 part time in 2021, to just 8 full time for 2022. We will need to reduce to 7 full time clergy by 2025, in order to meet the reduced diocesan budget requirements. If we continue not to pay our full deanery share (we managed 75% of the payment in 2022), further cuts are likely putting additional stress on current clergy and parishes.
Fr Andy Smith – Area Dean of Brentwood
ALL SAINTS’ CHURCH
Churchwardens:
On 21 June 2022 June Sykes and David Morten were sworn-in as churchwardens taking over the role from the retiring churchwardens Dawn White and Carole Bradford. A vote of thanks goes to both Dawn and Carole for their many years of sterling service and for their training and help in the handing over of their posts.
Roofing:
The church gutters & downpipes were cleaned/cleared on 11th January, and repairs to the choir vestry roof (renewal of edge fillet and replacement of broken tiles) were executed early February. Subsequently works were carried out on this roof, replacing rotten battens and sarking felt, commencing in late April, with completion in early May.
Musical Instruments:
The old upright piano, originally situated in the choir vestry and then moved to the Lady Chapel, was removed by the “Piano Man” and a new electronic piano installed in its place. Works commenced on the organ at the end of February and were initially completed at the end of March with final adjustments and tuning (following repairs) taking place on 16[th] June. However, the organ was put out of commission 2 days later when a cable broke. The defective part was replaced in July rendering the organ serviceable once more.
Statutory checks/Servicing:
On 23[rd] March the fire extinguishers were checked and serviced and on 6[th] June Chubb Security checked & serviced the burglar alarm system.
An electrical inspection was carried out on 30[th] September prior to the Quinquennial Inspection which took place on 9[th] November. The inspecting architect warned that the ladder to the Belfry needed tighter security so that only the bell ringers could gain access. This was promptly rectified by the Bell Tower Captain. The architect also noted that, due to the church being closed & unvented during the summer months of lockdown, mildew was visible on the north and south side aisle roof timbers and also on the 3 paintings which are hung in these aisles. At least one of these paintings was showing signs of the paint peeling. We await the full detailed quinquennial report before determining our course of action to deal with this.

Death of HM Queen Elizabeth II
HM Queen Elizabeth died on Thursday 8th September. This led to muffled bell ringing across the Nation the following morning, with our own church joining the ringing with all five bells fully muffled. The only time this happens is on the death of a reigning monarch. Fortunately, Sylvia, our Bell Tower Captain, had recently ordered and received a new full set of muffles in preparation for this sad event.
Events & Services:
Chris Thomas held a Quiet Day at the church on 17th September and on 2nd October we returned to receiving a shared chalice for the first time since Covid.
The ATC Parade Service took place on Remembrance Sunday and a Memorial service was held on the evening of 30th October.
Tea, coffee, biscuits and sherry were re-introduced after the Sunday service on 20th November, and it is intended to continue the event on a monthly basis. It was a good opportunity for everyone to have a catch up and have the opportunity to talk with others they hadn’t met from the congregation.
The Carols by Candlelight service held on Sunday evening, 18th December was well attended, as usual, and was followed by mince pies and sherry. Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve was attended by almost 100 worshipers.
Weddings & Baptisms:
During 2022 we had 12 weddings and 3 Baptisms.
Churchyard:
In March the ATC helped with a big church yard clear up, after the winter storms, and again on 15th
October with the Autumn clear up.
On 2nd September an Arboricultural Survey was carried out in preparation for the
Quinquennial survey. Several trees received a Priority 1, the most concerning of which is a 12m pollarded common lime whose spread is very close to the large chancel east window. The Council are responsible for the maintenance of the church yard, cutting the grass every 3 - 4 weeks throughout the growing season. At the beginning of March the Council cut back shrubs and brambles from around the graves stones which tidied the church yard up considerably.
In respect of gravestones it is noted that one of the stones to the west of the pathway near the cycle stands, has suffered frost damage and has sheared near the base and toppled over onto the grave. A course of action is still to be determined.
We, the churchwardens, feel that All Saints’ is ready to face the new year and we look forward to meeting whatever challenges 2023 may bring.

ST PETER’S CHURCH
This year the Church was subject to a Quinquennial Inspection of the Buildings and electrical Installation. Overall, the premises are in good condition. A schedule of works will be drawn up and any repairs and improvements will be carried out according to the Report timescale.
We are delighted that throughout 2022 we were at last able to use the entire premises in full once more following the relaxation of the restrictions on social gatherings and congregations. The local organisations that previously hired the premises have largely all returned.
The Daily Bread Café opens four days a week and provides space for community groups such as Peabody and the Blue Flower Group, and also social groups such as the Knitting Circle, Craft Group, Colouring Club and the Gardening Group. The Food Hub is still in operation six days a week, collecting and distributing food to the local community.
St. Peter’s was also able to host a variety of Church activities. The Bible Study Groups continue to grow in size and teaching was able to continue with The Alpha Course. We offer a variety of different worship styles and contexts, including Sunday Evening Contemporary Evening Worship, Stations of the Cross during Lent, Rooted Community’s ‘Recharge’ evenings as well as weekly Sunday morning Eucharist. The introduction of a monthly Saturday morning Men’s Prayer Breakfast is proving popular, and the new E. Asian Church Group continues to grow under the leadership of Annie Bayley and Tino To.
Little Fishes group for babies and toddlers, parents and carers is now so large that it takes up both the church and the hall on a Thursday morning! Brentwood Schools Christian Workers Trust use the Church for their Christmas and Easter sessions with local Primary Schools and our Church School, All Saints’, holds Festival Services with us.
We were also able to mark important events with some special services. Bishop John visited us in January to conduct a service of Baptism, Confirmation and First Communion. We were able to witness the Ordination of Reverend Alice and Reverend Sue from the Cathedral via live-streaming, and to gather together for Reverend Lisa’s first Communion Service. Over a hundred parishioners gathered together on 11[th] September at a Communion Service to mark and mourn the death of Queen Elizabeth the Second.
Socially it has been a successful year. The Parish hog roast to welcome Sue, Alice and Lisa was very enjoyable. Other events have included a Harvest Quiz Night, Christmas Fayre, Rooted Community Celebration Breakfast, Platinum Jubilee Concert and the ever-popular Beer & Carols. All were very well supported.
Thank you to all those who worship or just gather here at St. Peter’s and make it a lively, welcoming space. Thanks also to all those who work so hard to make it happen.

CHILDREN’S CHURCH AND SUNDAY YOUTH
9.30am St Peter’s
Children’s Church meets every week during the 9.30am service, offering a facilitated session of Bible teaching, activities, music, games and crafts for children in primary school and the first few years of secondary school. A small creche is also available in the hall for preschoolers alongside the more structured activities. The creche is parent led.
Highlights of the year include seeing several children receive Holy Communion for the first time on Easter Sunday, following preparation sessions with Fr Andy, as well as a number of young people confirmed in January by Bishop John.
In September 2022, we were delighted to introduce Sunday Youth for older children/young people, open to those in Year 5 (age 9 and above). This group meets in the Chapel on 2 Sunday mornings per month. This is led by Rev Deacon Alice Smith, Sarah Robbshaw and parent helpers and aims to help this age group go deeper in their faith, ask questions and have fun together in a way which recognises their changing needs. Young people in this group also began to serve through the AV team, narrating for the Nativity service in December and joining the music group on an ad hoc basis as well as assisting with Children’s Church on other weeks.
Since October 2022, we have reinstated the wall between the sanctuary and the hall, which has allowed for greater flexibility in terms of space and noise we can make!
In December 2022, we had 71 children registered on our database and our weekly average attendance for the last term of 2022 was:
October: 19 per week; November: 20 per week; December: 18 per week
On The Blessing of the Bags/Back to School Sunday in September, we had 38 children attend across both St Peter’s and All Saints congregations.
There are a number of occasions through the year when the 9.30am service is an All-Age Eucharist, and children remain in the Sanctuary; particularly Sundays of August, Harvest Sunday and Mothering Sunday. This is to give leaders a break as well as to enable a more creative Eucharist format, encouraging involvement from all ages in the elements of the service.
11.15am All Saints
Whilst we do not have regular Children’s church provision at this congregation, we regularly welcome families who are attending, with their children, prior to marriage as well as the seasonal increase in baptisms in the Spring and Summer. We would urge the PCC and wider church community to consider how best to resource our children’s ministry provision at All Saints for the longer term to ensure all are welcomed and supported in their growth in faith.
11
Beyond our Sunday activities, we were able to deliver 80+ Advent candles to all families on our database and the Travelling Crib returned following the Covid enforced break.
Looking ahead:
2023 plans include ongoing training and development opportunities for the team through Mustard Seed Team at the Diocese; a Wander event at All Saints; increasing provision for irregular attendees at All Saints and developing ongoing contacts with baptism families.
None of this would be possible without the dedicated team of session leaders and helpers, meeting each half term to plan and pray as well as all those who work in the background and the foreground, helping us to remain flexible and encourage this important ministry to thrive.
Session leaders: Maggs Perham, Sharon Daborn, Annie Bayley, Alice Smith
Helpers and Assistants: Sheryl Dyson (Registration coordinator), Elyse Piper, Pat Thomson, Leanne Madden, Sue Barfoot, Laura Thomas
Revd Deacon Alice Smith has coordinated the team since 2017: from February 2023 this responsibility will be handed over to Rev Sue Goldsmith.
Revd Deacon Alice Smith – Parish Curate
YOUTH GROUP
2022 saw the reintroduction of a regular youth group for 11–14-year-olds in the parish. The group currently meets twice a month at 4pm on Sunday afternoons.
There are over 20 young people on roll, with an average of 15 attending any given meeting. The aims of this new look youth group are to provide fun and fellowship for our young people, alongside Bible teaching and some food. The sessions are a lot of fun and involve silly games, preparing food together and a theme that is usually linked to the current Sunday morning teaching and lectionary. A good number of this group were either confirmed or received 1[st] Holy Communion earlier in the year.
The group also attended the Solid Youth Festival at Stubbers in early July, enjoying worship, Bible teaching and lots of outdoor sporting activities. We also won the late night quiz!
The group was led by Fr Andy and Sarah Robbshaw, with Sheryl Dyson and Revd Sue also assisting. In 2023, Revd Sue will take on the running of the group alongside Sarah as they develop the sessions and seek to recruit more helpers and leaders.

ROOTED COMMUNITY
Values: Shared Life (IN), Inclusive Welcome (OUT), Deeper Purpose (UP) Rooted Community is a missional community within Hutton Parish, connecting with and supporting women through friendship, faith and connection, thereby supporting families and our wider community.
Beginning as Friday Mums in 2012, Rooted has been meeting in some capacity each week, focused on Fridays for a simple lunch, conversation and prayer and on Wednesday evenings each month for deeper engagement in faith, scripture and prayer.
Our Leadership Team grew in 2022 to reflect the changing needs of the Community and to enable a greater breadth of leadership giftings and skills.
Rooted Community Leadership Team: Revd Deacon Alice Smith, Linda Haslam, Tracey Jenkins, Elspeth Morten, Eve Byles, Frances Annobil, Annie Bayley, Natalie Slater, Rev Lisa Whymark.
Our Facebook group currently has 195 members ( 179 in January 2022 ) and our weekly email newsletter goes out to 120 people.
2022 enabled us to return to our usual patterns on a weekly and a monthly basis and to make more concrete plans to support faith and friendship across the community.
Rooted Lunch on Fridays regularly welcomes 12-20 women for a simple soup lunch, offering space for connection and sharing stories of life, the highs and lows and offering an opportunity to pray together.
Our monthly evening gathering - Rooted Recharge - with space for connection, worship, discussion and prayer regularly welcomes 25-30 women. In July we completed a yearlong series on Psalm 23. Recognising that for many women, the juggle of family responsibilities, work, childcare and their own health during the pandemic has taken a huge toll, Recharge seeks to be an oasis, physically and spiritually.
13
Other highlights of 2022 included a Celebration Breakfast , marking 10 years since the Community began as Friday Mums . We were delighted to welcome Archdeacon Elizabeth Snowden as our guest speaker on the theme of ‘Flourish’ and enjoyed a morning of food, worship and celebration together.
We gathered in the Rectory garden in July for a Garden Party, a Bring and Share Curry night in October and a Christmas Crepe evening in December.
We’ve been able to celebrate significant birthdays, births of new babies, weddings, promotions, ordinations and completion of studies, new jobs and new homes. We’ve stood alongside one another in times of mourning, unemployment, anxiety, health issues and separation from loved ones. We hope and pray that these connections and a growing faith will continue to strengthen us as we look to serve and welcome others in the future.
In 2023 we seek to grow our connections to other local schools and welcome new members whilst also investing in deepening friendships within the Community. We will continue to serve the Parish and local community through involvement with Daily Bread, Little Fishes, Children’s and Youth Ministry on Sundays, thanking God for our continued growth and ongoing support from the Ministry Team.
Ephesians 3:17 I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.

DAILY BREAD AND COMMUNITY MINISTRY
Since the last APCM Daily Bread has continued to support a large number of people from across the area with hospitality and food as well seeking to be a being a place of safety for all. For 2022, we were supported by over 200 volunteers.
The Food Hub has opens six days each week (Monday to Saturday 10am -12pm) to give out bags of shopping to anyone who comes along. Over the year this was approx. 35 families each day, predominantly from the local area but also those travelling from Romford, Witham, Basildon, Maldon and Chelmsford.
Just before Christmas we had to make the decision to limit the opening hours for people outside the Brentwood area to after 11am to ensure our local families were supported. We have continued to work with local schools to ensure their pupil premium families and members of staff are able to access food and any support we offer. Families can collect fresh fruit produce and bakery items every day and are able to request frozen and cupboard items once each week to ensure provisions are distributed fairly. The Lord always provides enough and we consistently manage to send everyone away with some supplies and the promise that tomorrow will see more food arrive for them to collect.
At Christmas we were able to collect over 150 hampers of food to distribute to families on our database and through connections with local schools, these were provided by people in the local community. We were grateful for the support of local businesses, care homes, schools and individuals, particularly in the winter months, when fuel bills were increasing, and money was being stretched further to ensure we were able to keep up with demand.
Daily Bread Café continued to open from 9am-1pm every Tuesday to Friday, hosting a variety of community groups and individual customers. On Thursdays, Little Fishes parent and toddler group continued to develop and grow, becoming so successful the decision was made to dedicate the whole building to the group to ensure their safety and well-being. Other groups hosted in included a Colouring Café for mental well-being, a visually impaired group, work experience students from a local secondary school, a chatty table, church based pastoral support, Peabody (a benefit advice service), bible study groups, a gardening group, and a knitting group. On Fridays we introduced a Full English Fry-up menu and a craft table.
A minibus was purchased in the summer, with funds being donated from several charities. This enables the team to collect food from further afield where it would not fit into a standard car and return the mountain of crates we seem to acquire every week. In the Summer holidays we used the bus to take groups on day trips to local beaches and parks. The minibus has also been used by the local Dementia Carers support group to visit local garden centres, restaurants, and Christmas markets.
Funding was also given towards donating weekly recipe bags, slow cookers, and air fryers to reduce electricity costs. We continue to support people with bills for fuel, we have given out vouchers for school uniform and shopping. Daily Bread has also teamed up with Essex Activate to provide food and activities for children and families during the school holidays.
15
2022 saw some of our biggest structural changes within Daily Bread. Natalie Slater has been employed as a part time administrator to support Revd Lisa with day-to-day operations. A new management team has been created to allow greater accountability and communication with the PCC. This team is made up of Fr Andy, Revd Lisa, Michelle Yarwood and Frances Annobil.
The management team have updated the safeguarding policy, including safer recruitment and domestic abuse policies. This will be sent out to all volunteers to read, agree to, and adhere to this month. All our policies now are in line with both Parish and Church of England guidelines. There will be in person safeguarding training for volunteers in 2023.
In 2022, we attracted a large amount of funding from outside agencies to support the running of the food hub and café, including local and national businesses, local government and charitable organisations. We have worked with Brentwood and Essex Council, Community Voluntary Services, Essex Well-being, United in Kind, Essex Activate, various mental health charities and local schools to ensure we are looking after the more vulnerable members of our community.
We are grateful for the opportunity to serve the church and community through this wonderful ministry. Our prayer is that the Lord continues to guide us, provide all we need and is with us as we share the Good News of the Gospel with all who come through our doors.

MINISTRY IN SCHOOLS
2022 saw the parish actively engaged in leading worship, teaching and pastoral support in the life of Hutton All Saints School. Fr Andy and Revd Lisa led worship on Wednesday mornings each week, alongside running a prayer group and assisting with the RE curriculum and “The Big Questions.” The church also hosted services led by each year group and three Prayer Space Days as is our usual practice. A number of PCC members continue to act as trustees on the governing body of the school. Fr Andy also led 2 full school Eucharists in the hall and had a joyful day teaching on and making Christingles in late November.
St Peter’s hosted the ‘Easter Cracked’, ‘Christmas Unwrapped’ and ‘Moving on UP’ sessions led by the Brentwood Schools Christian Workers Trust.
Fr Andy continues to serve, in a limited capacity, as a chaplain to Becket Keys Church of England Secondary School in Brentwood.

LITTLE FISHES
Little Fishes is part of Children's Church, and is a babies and preschool group that meets every Thursday morning during term time. We are blessed with lots of families with babies joining
16
us for play and connection every week. Average attendance has gone up from 18 children to 30 children plus their grown-ups. The Little Fishes team has also grown to eight volunteers to ensure we can provide support and care to our littlest person as well as the grown-ups. Little Fishes is more than a welcoming space for young families, it is also reaching out and connecting with our group community.
All Little Fishes volunteers are encouraged and supported to complete the diocesan safeguarding course and everyone has completed the basic safeguarding training. Four of us have completed additional foundation safeguarding. Three of us hold enhanced DBS and I have completed the emergency First Aid training. Details are recorded in a restricted online folder.
As the number of babies, children, parents and carers has expanded, the Daily Bread Cafe on Thursday is now reserved for parents and carers with young children only. This is to ensure we have the appropriate family safe space and to safeguard the vulnerable. The Little Fishes' session has been extended from 9.30 to 11am, to allow parents to come to St Peter's straight after school drop off. This has been well received by parents and carers and our numbers have
increased significantly to 30 plus children.
We ask for a donation of £3 per family for each play session regardless of family size, £2 goes to Daily Bread to cover drinks and trolley food. For a special event, we ask for a £5 donation per family to cover decorations and party food. We planted sunflowers for hope for Ukraine, held a wonderful Jubilee party, met a Guide dog, enjoyed a Summer garden picnic, learnt about harvest festival, made poppies for Remembrance day, made Christmas cards and finished the year with a Christmas party.
In 2022, Little Fishes donated to the following charities: £80 to Basildon Changing pathways £107 to Guide Dogs charity £110 to Ukrainian Aid
£100 to Daily Bread for Harvest Festival
Currently as of Jan 2023, Little Fishes have £508 in the account from collections. We will continue to look to support charities with a preference to helping families.
The Little Fishes team participated in the Brentwood Summer Fun day at Wash Road Rec in August along with the Daily Bread team reaching out and connecting with the community. It is wonderful and a privilege to play and connect with our community.

PARISH MUSIC AND SUNG WORSHIP
During 2022 we were able to make great strides in re-establishing musical growth at our churches as the Covid restrictions eased and were ultimately lifted. This was apparent in our
17
regular Sunday morning worship and through the Contemporary Evening Worship (CEW) services held at St Peter’s as well as some special events during the year.
Our musical progress has been made possible by our wonderful singers who have grown in number during the year. And so huge thanks to our regular singers: Revd Deacon Alice, Tracey Jenkins, Jan To, Linda Perry, Tim Barfoot, Kevin Lim, Eve Byles, Katie Johnson, Bronwyn Prior, David Morten, John Patterson and Mike Briggs. Thanks also to Kevin and Eve for their help as accompanists at St Peter’s and to Derek Bevans for playing the organ at All Saints each month.
Thanks also to Revd Deacon Alice who has been instrumental in facilitating the addition and induction of our new singers and establishing the associated organisation and rota management.
Kevin and Eve have done a great job in providing the musical direction at the CEW services at St Peter’s which moved to twice a month during 2022 (although these have now reverted to once a month in 2023). Thanks go to them and all the other musicians and singers who have supported the services so energetically and expertly.
Our musical instruments have also received further investment during the year - the organ at All Saints was cleaned and restored and the organ at St Peter’s had further speakers added and relocated to the organ loft. A digital piano was installed at All Saints giving us new options for accompaniment at the church as well as freeing up some floor space.
Our musicians played an important contributory role in the presentation of some very special events during the year. Firstly, the late HM The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June included a Gala evening at a packed St Peter’s church with music provided by classical pianist Alisdair Hogarth, organist Adrian Thompson and The Brentwood Collective. In September a service of commemoration was held at St Peter’s for the late HM The Queen and featured sung music and organ pieces first featured at the Queen’s Coronation as well as Rutter’s beautiful The Lord Bless You and Keep You anthem.
Finally, our singers and musicians joyfully supported a very full Christmas programme of worship and events, including Beer and Carols, Carols by Candlelight, Christingle services and Midnight Mass.
We are looking to recruit more singers into our singing group in the year ahead to continue our musical development which will also see the introduction of new music for our Communion services - Margaret Rizza’s wonderful Mass of the Bread of Life, starting with the Gloria in February.

PRAYER AND SPIRITUALITY
Over the last year I have tried to offer some quieter and meditative arenas for prayer within the parish using both All Saints and St Peters.
18
The seasons of both Lent and Advent both give us opportunities to have times of quieter reflection about our faith and prayer and spirituality.
In Lent which begins on Ash Wednesday we used the following Wednesdays to continue our journey through this penitential season following in the footsteps of Christ as we walked the Stations of the Cross using the beautiful stations at St Peters painted by the Benedictine Nuns of Turvey Abbey. In mind and heart and spirit we prayed in semi-darkness the last walk of Christ to Golgotha and the tomb as we awaited the light and life of Easter.
In Advent this year we used the Chapel at St Peters to meet each Wednesday to pray and reflect on the great O Antiphons (in the ancient monastic church prayed on the eight days prior to Christmas around the Magnificat at the Evening Office). These O’s put the names with which the coming Emmanuel – the God-with-us of the Nativity were addressed. They are God as Wisdom, as the Adonai, as the Root of Jesse, as Key of David, as Star of the East, as King of the Nations, as Emmanuel – and the 8th which I did include to honour Mary, the Mother of God.
Candlelight, music from the Advent service including the Matin Responsory and ‘Come, Thou Redeemer of the world’, readings, both scriptural and the sonnet sequence on the antiphons by Malcolm Guite (priest and poet), and my meditations reflecting the theme opened up the watching and waiting which heralds the birth of the Babe of Bethlehem- Emmanuel.
We have had two QUIET DAYS at All Saint’ Church where we were able to draw on the prayers which seem to have soaked into very fabric of this quiet and holy place.
The previous year I had used the stained-glass windows in the church showing the main episodes of the life of Christ as a basis for our meditations They were all left in memory of ministers, benefactors and others during the Victorian era and as such reflect the style of that period.
In June I used the etched windows in the screen between church and choir vestry given as memorial to a dearly loved member of our church, Patricia Harries.
The seven panels to the right of the door represent saints but using their attributes – symbols – to use the space and light to its greatest effect.
At the centre is the Blessed Virgin Mary with her attributes of Lily and Crown. Either side of her are St Peter with his keys given to him by Jesus (Matthew 16 v13-19) and the fish denoting his original occupation and his calling to be a fisher of men
St Paul who took the gospel message out to the Gentile world. The Dean and Chapter of St Paul’s Cathedral are the patrons of the living of Hutton.
St Martin was a 4th century French saint – a soldier in the Roman army who was renowned for his kindness to a beggar, sharing his cloak. In the early history of this parish Benedictine monks came from Battle Abbey to collect dues to pay for King William’s new foundation of St Martin and the name of the saint lives on in the secondary school in our parish.
St James the Great was an apostle and a member of the inner circle around Jesus According to tradition he was buried at Compostela in Spain. St. James is usually seen with a pilgrim’s staff, water bottle and scallop shell- we are all pilgrims.
By the door to the choir vestry is St Cecilia. This is absolutely the right place for this saint at the point the choir move into the church. She is the patron saint of church music and usually depicted playing the organ.
St Margaret of Antioch. Margaret was Patricia’s second Christian name. St Margaret was persecuted for her faith and beheaded in the 4th century.
19
The aim of this Quiet Day was to explore how the seven saints can help us in our spiritual journey by example, by teaching, and how they show us the love of God.
In September we met again at All Saints for the Quiet Day which I had entitled
“An Image of the Sacred: A Glimpse of the Divine”
It was a new sight for some as I had set the church up with as many icons as I could and kept it darkened but candlelit. Icons are of course very much a tradition in the Orthodox Churches as an aid to prayer and devotion.
I was hoping that we would not only LISTEN to what God might say to us but also LOOK -and look intently at the icons as a way of entering through the icon- an image yes but not just a ‘picture’ -into that place of stillness and prayer through which one is drawn.
The day was divided into times given to my explanations of and meditations on Icons followed by periods of quiet and reflection in between each.
I began with a Prayer before the Icons by Bishop Basil and then invited all to prayerfully look at the great Icon of the Pantocrator - the Christ as Lord of All -whilst I quietly read that very soul-searching Psalm 139 which asks the question “Where can I flee from your presence”. We prayed and meditated on some of the more ‘important’ icons of the tradition. The Nativity and the Presentation of Christ in the Temple.
The Baptism of Christ and the Transfiguration- together known as the Theophany. The Anastasis and the Rublev Trinity.
The Virgin Hodegetria (She who shows the Way) and the Virgin of Vladimir.
The damaged Icon of Christ the Peacemaker- the Icon which Henri Nouwen said was the one which brought him closest to God.
My hope is that both these Quiet Days were places and spaces where within the communion of saints and using our eyes and ears we could find time and space and quiet to listen to what God might be trying to say to us if only we will, as the psalmist says,
“Be still and know that I am God”. Psalm 46 v 10.
Being still and knowing God in the quiet is the aim of the afternoons of Quiet Prayer and Meditation which we have been able to restart in the Chapel at St Peters on the 4th Wednesday afternoon of each month.
This is a place to sit quietly, to learn to pray inwardly without using words in quiet meditation. This is a way of praying which many find difficult – as indeed it is-and one which needs perseverance but has deep rewards.
The Chapel is open for two hours although I would stress that although I am there for the full time it is not an expectation for anyone else and if you would like a little peace and quiet to be with God in the silence do feel free to come for as little or as long as you feel comfortable.
If anyone wants to talk to me about this or any other aspect of prayer or spirituality, please feel free to approach me at any time.
Our relationship with God as the body of Christ needs to be fed and nurtured in prayer and study and in the sacraments and all of the opportunities offered here I pray add another spiritual dimension to the worship and liturgical life of the parish.

BIBLE STUDY REPORT 2022
Our Bible Study group started in May 2014. We held regular meetings until Covid in 2020. Then we resumed the meetings in October 2021. We now meet on the 1st & 3rd Wednesday of each month at St. Peter’s, we start with a cup of tea, coffee & biscuits at 7pm then the meeting at 7:30pm. We divide into 3 small groups. 2 groups looking at Paul’s letters, one group led by Tim Barfoot & the other group by Pauline Sweetingham. Tino is leading a group which formed after Alpha course and is looking at Mark’s Gospel.
Another Bible Study group meets on the 1st Monday of each month at 2pm at St. Peter’s. Now the group has around 15 to 18 people each time looking at John’s Gospel. After that we have tea, coffee & cakes and in addition we have Trisha playing some traditional songs on the piano.
Also, the Bible Study group set up at West Horndon (St. Francis Church) since June 2021 is flourishing from 4 people to around 10 attending. Thanks be to God. It meets on the 1st & 3rd Wednesday morning of each month at 10am at West Horndon.
Other amazing news is that a new Bible Study beginners’ group has been set up in the Daily Bread Café every Tuesday and is looking at Mark’s Gospel.
The objectives of the group remain the same as when we started in 2014:
1) To learn about God’s Word as Paul says in 2 Timothy 3:16, 17 “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that everyone who belongs to God may be proficient, equipped for every good work.”
2) To share with each other the experience in God’s love & blessings.
3) To build up a lovely fellowship in Christ.
-
4) To encourage each other through the Bible and to grow in faith together.
-
5) To learn how to apply the Word of God in our contemporary society & daily living.
6) To explore each other’s gifts from God & to encourage each other to use their gifts to serve the Lord in our church & community.
- 7) To refresh & revive our love for Christ through His Word.
The love of God is pouring out from His Word in the Bible. I strongly encourage sisters and brothers to come and join us to explore the richness of God’s Word and through fellowship let us build each other up in the body of Christ.

PASTORAL TEAM
We have had new members join our team so our full team include: Revd Andy, Revd Tony, Frances Annobil, Sheryl Dyson, Carol Fulcher, Margaret Morris, John Patterson, Sarah Robbshaw, Jan To, Dawn White & Tino To. Dawn Shaxon is our administrator.
The functions of the team are praying for those who are sick, having difficulties and the bereaved. Our team will give support to members of the congregation by phoning or visiting according to their needs. Home Communion is also facilitated by the team to those who are unable to attend church services for various reasons. Different team members are helping with Little Fishes to listen & chat to the parents. Members of the team also go to the Daily
21
Bread Café on different days to listen, chat and pray for people. Every Thursday a team member will be there to pray for anyone who needs prayer. In addition, there will be a beginners’ Bible study group every Tuesday in the café for people who are interested in exploring the faith. Each week or as often as we could obtain information, we will update every team member via email so that the whole team are able to pray for those who are in need. Also, members of the team are taking regular monthly service at 3 nursing homes which are Hutton Village Nursing Home, Leonard Lodge and Hutton View.
Praying is one of our main functions of the team. During the past few months, we can all see the power of prayers and how God has been answering our prayers as a Pastoral Team. We encourage our church family to inform the Pastoral Team if anyone needs any visit or prayers. Jesus says “Love one another, as I have loved you.” In our church family and community, we would like to bring this love by caring and praying for those in need, lonely or in any kind of distress or despair.

WEDDINGS
We celebrated the union of twelve couples and one renewal of wedding vows at All Saints’ this year. It was particularly special to see one of the couples finally tie the knot after three postponements due to the pandemic. There are currently seven weddings booked at All Saints’ for 2023.
The couples due to be married this year will attend the Marriage Preparation session on Saturday 21st January at St Peter’s. This preparation session will help allow the couples to understand what it means to get married in a church. It also provides a lovely opportunity for us to get to know them better. Anyone not able to attend will have a separate session with Father Andy. Couples getting married at St Mary's Church, Shenfield, where we are covering marriages in their vacancy are also invited to attend the session.
The parish website has been updated to include a wedding page with details on how to get married in a church, frequently asked questions, a wedding application form and how to get in touch for more information.
The statutory wedding fees are currently £514 and will increase to £564. Flower pedestal is to go up from £80 to £90 due to increased cost. All other fees are remaining the same as 2022's.
All wedding applications and supporting documents are saved in a restricted online folder. We do not issue marriage certificates as the process was changed in 2021. The married couple apply online for the marriage certificate after the wedding.

MEN’S PRAYER BREAKFAST
The men’s breakfast group began meeting in 2022 on the last Saturday of each month. We’ve regularly welcomed an average of 15 men and boys for a Full English and a time of prayer. There are plans to develop this ministry for men in the coming year.

BELL RINGERS
We started an eventful year for ringers in 2022.
On Sunday February 2[nd] we rang to celebrate the 70[th] Anniversary of HRH Queen Elizabeth II Accession to the throne.
We rang again on Friday 3[rd] June for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations. Five ringers for the 5 bells, joining in with other Churches across the country on this special day. Sadly, in September, we were called again to ring but this time for the death of Queen Elizabeth II, following the protocol sent to us by the Essex Association of Bell Ringers with all 5 bells fully muffled in respect for the Monarch. On the 19[th] September we solemnly tolled the bells in acknowledgement of the State Funeral of Queen Elizabeth held that day. We were also ringing during the proclamation of HRH King Charles III with unmuffled bells and open ringing in celebration of our new King. We did all this ringing with mixed feelings, sombre one day and joyous another, it was all quite emotional with some ringers being quite tearful and understandably so.
We had a busy year ringing for Weddings, calling on the support of ringers from other Churches, whose help we are always grateful for.
We continue to struggle to find ringers to join us. Currently we are down to only 3 of our own ringers at All Saints. We have managed only occasional Service ringing on Sunday calling on ringers from Shenfield, Ingrave and Bentley to help us as we are usually in need of at least 2 ringers to help out.
Remembrance Sunday ringing took place in November, this time with half-muffled bells and a mark of respect for all those who gave their lives in both World Wars.
The Whiting Society ringers have asked to visit us on 28[th] January so there will be some exceptional ringing to be heard later this month as I have heard that they are ringers of a very high standard!
Peter Martin has continued to be our Steeple Keeper looking after the maintenance of the bells and tower. He also recently fitted a lock to the ladder access to the Tower as requested at the Quinquennial inspection.
At our next Bell Ringers AGM in February, I intend to step down as Tower Captain and pass the position over to Beth Johnson who is also Tower Captain at St. Mary’s Church in Shenfield and volunteers at the Food Bank at St. Peter’s Church. I feel that Beth will be a great asset to All Saints, she is well known in the ringing world and I am hoping that she will be able to encourage new ringers to join us at Hutton.

1. Accounting policies
- a. Accounting Convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations together with the current Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities and applicable accounting standard FRS102.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the inclusion of investments at market value and the revaluation of fixed assets. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their affiliation to another body, nor those which are informal gatherings of church members.

Restricted funds - a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest; b) donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of the year is carried forward as a balance on that fund.
- c. Incoming resources
All incoming resources are accounted for gross.
Voluntary Income
Collections are recognised when received.
Planned giving receivable is recognised only when received. Income tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the Gift Aid claim is made Grants and legacies are recognised when the PCC is legally entitled to the amount due.
Income from investments
Interest entitlements are accounted for as they accrue.
All other income
All other income is recognised when it is receivable.
d. Resources used
Resources expended are accounted for on an accruals basis and are accounted for gross.
Grants
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded where the award creates a binding obligation on the PCC.
Church Activities
The diocesan parish contribution is accounted for when paid and provided for in these accounts.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE PARISH OF HUTTON PCC
I report on the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2022
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
Follow procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commissioners section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act;
-
and
-
State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s 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 charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit and consequently I do not express an opinion on the accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
a. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
b. to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records have not been met; or
-
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Mr Alan Harley
