**APCM 5.** Treasurer’s Report for the year ended 31 December 2022 Treasurer Mrs Janis Large 

The treasurer’s report is included in the Annual Accounts booklet. 

## **APCM 6. Fabric and Ornaments** Teresa Clarke 

Churchwardens are required by the inspection of churches measure 1991 to make an annual inspection of the fabric and to prepare a report for the consideration of the PCC at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting. 

Two new gas heaters have been fitted in the Chapter House to replace the faulty ones. They were ordered in March 2022 and, after a long delay, were eventually fitted in October 2022. They are easy to operate; written instructions have been attached to the wire guards. 

Spring cleans in the church, litter picks in the churchyard and clearing leaves and litter from the South Porch are a regular occurrence. My thanks go to the cleaning team. As mentioned in last year’s report, the boiler room frequently flooded after heavy rainfall. A new boiler drainage pump has been fitted and seems to have solved the problem. 

The Masonic gates fitted at the entrance to the chancel have been repaired and paid for by the St. Peter de Merton Masonic Lodge. A service of re-dedication for the gates took place in the church on 20th November 2022. It was very well attended with £160 being received in donations. 

The lock on the Chapter House door has been checked by a locksmith , who refitted the handle mechanism which seems to have resolved the problem of the Chapter House key sticking in the lock. He also checked the lock on the upper safe in the strongroom and explained how to operate the key in the lock correctly. 

Mouse traps have been placed in strategic places around the church and are frequently emptied of unwanted visitors. 

It has been cold in church this winter, and while we are trying to save money on fuel bills by reducing the number of hours the heating is on, we recommend the use of kneelers to keep your feet off the floor, and cushions and blankets are always available at the back of the church. 

Teresa Clarke & Liz McHale carried out a Fire Risk Assessment in October 2022. 

Rain has found its way into the linen drawers again and Graham Large has kindly cleared some of the lower gutters, but the higher gutters need attention to prevent leaf and debris build up. 

The Council gardener attends to the churchyard maintenance on a regular basis; grass cutting, pruning & clearing leaves from the front steps.

APCM AGENDAS REPORTS 2023 

Heather & Darren painted strips of white & yellow on the front steps and painted the handrails to make them easier to see & making it much safer to negotiate in low light levels. 

The headstones adjacent to paths have been topple-tested and found to be safe. A second-generation smart meter has been fitted in the electrics cupboard in the West porch making it easier to see where our electricity consumption is happening. We now have a new St. George’s flag, paid for from the proceeds of the February 2022 Quiz, which was proudly flown on St George’s Day last year. A new Union flag was purchased and was flown on the occasion of the late Queen’s death in September 2022. Annual PAT testing, clock service & Annual Fire Extinguisher, Fire Alarm & Emergency Lighting have either been carried or are booked in for April. 

New outside PIR LED lights are to be fitted next month. This will be another step towards fulfilling our greener energy credentials. 

Teresa Clarke, Churchwarden             18/03/2023 

## **APCM 7. Deanery Synod Deanery Synod Mr Paul Fricker Lay Reader** 

The Deanery Synod meets three or four times a year in different churches.  Teresa Clarke and I represent St Peter’s Church and the meetings are a wonderful way of meeting up with members from different churches in the Deanery and finding out how their churches are getting on. The meetings start off with reports from members who have attend the Diocesan Synod meetings and meetings of the Lambeth Conference. There is always a report on safeguarding and on the finances of the Deanery. Then we are given a special presentation by someone who has been invited to the meeting. 

The meeting of the Deanery Synod that I enjoyed most was the one at St Peter’s Church in May last year. Teresa and I welcomed people at the door and Kelvin opened and ended the meeting in prayer. We had 34 members attending.   We had two talks. The first one was given by Revd. Dr Sam Cappleman on  ‘Bedford Deanery, its demographics, churches and challenges’. The second one was by David White, Diocesan Secretary  ‘Introducing myself, my role and the central support available at the Diocese of St Albans’. 

At another meeting, we had a talk on ‘Beyond Reaching New People’ by the Revd Kate Peacock, Deputy Director of Mission and Ministry, St Albans Diocese.  Sometimes, vicars give short talks about their own churches, especially if they have been installed recently. Teresa and I would have liked to have gone to the most recent meeting of the Deanery Synod but unfortunately, the meeting clashed with a very special service at St Andrew’s Church when we were celebrating the baptism of Paul and Johanna and the confirmation of Paul, Lizzie, Ivan and Johanna.

## **ST PETERS BELLRINGERS REPORT** 

Following guidelines issued by the central council of bellringers the bells were ringing regularly for Sunday services and limited times on practice nights during covid. In June 2022 we were able to enjoy our first ringing outing since Covid visiting six churches in the beautiful villages of Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. We raised a newly purchased Union Jack 

to half mast when sadly we received the news Queen Elizabeth had died. The tenor(largest) bell was tolled half muffled on the evening of the news. The bells were ring half muffled on the day of the funeral when we joined with towers all over the country to ring . After the funeral we rang a half muffled quarter peal. During 2022 we fitted new bell ropes. 

We are very fortunate to have a dedicated team of skilled ringers and ring all eight bells regularly on Sundays. Unfortunately there are now a number of towers without enough ringers who cannot ring regularly for services 

Richard Entwistle. Ringing Master 

## **Friends of St Peter’s** 

The Friends of St Peter’s have organized several activities during the past year.   These have included quizzes which were very well attended and were enjoyed by everyone.  We are very grateful to Teresa Clarke for putting some imaginative questions together and arranging a fish and chip supper during the quizzes. 

We also had a wonderful concert in the church given by the Heart and Music Choir in June. They sang songs from musicals and the money we raised from the concert went partly to the Friends of St Peter’s and partly to a Ukrainian Support fund run by another local church. Rosemary Evans sold a number of her historical booklets which she has written about St Peter’s and also some cards of St Peter’s Church which had been designed by an artist who she knows well. 

Teresa, who is very much involved with the John Bunyan boat, organized a river boat trip in September for members of the congregation.  It was a wonderful experience going along the river in the evening and seeing the Embankment lit up.   Two of us brought our guitars along and with some members of the choir, we sang folk songs after supper on the boat. A memorable evening.

## **Bible Study Report** 

Bible study runs every fortnight and in the last year we have studied 1 Corinthians and are currently studying the gospel of Mark . 

Bible study is well attended there are always insightful discussions, and we learn new things 

I look forward to continuing to study in the coming year Paul Downham 

## **Parish Safeguarding Report. APCM 2023** 

The PCC have nearly all completed the necessary online Safeguarding Training, in order to comply with the requirements of the Diocese and this is vital in order for the church’s insurance to remain validated. As a church, we have policies and procedures in place that are also required. Any Safeguarding concerns that have been brought to the attention of the Parish Safeguarding Officer (and incumbent) have been dealt with following these policies and procedures and with help and support from the team at St Albans. The Parish Safeguarding officer will now be Teresa Clarke, supported by Kelvin, following Liz’s retirement. 

## **Tea with Teresa & Cora & Heather** 

‘Tea with Teresa’ is a 40-minute Zoom meeting held on Monday afternoons at 4pm. The invitation goes out to all church members and anyone else can request a link to join in. It initially began during the pandemic when face-to-face meetings couldn’t happen, and proved to be very popular and a lifeline for people to keep in regular touch with each other. Both Cora, and Heather, who hosts ‘Coffee with Heather’ on Wednesday mornings and ‘Coffee with Cora’ on Wednesdays & Fridays, we firmly believe that it is still important to maintain these virtual sessions as they provide vital links to the church community who still may not be able to attend church for a variety of reasons. 

Teresa Clarke          18/03/2023 

## **Report from Assistant Churchwarden, Joe Prentice** 

I like to arrive early at church on a Sunday morning. I love the peace and quiet that you sense after centuries of worship here. My first job is to refill the tea urn so we can all enjoy a hot drink after the service ----- very important! I then put the Cross and the Candlesticks on the High Altar and lay the table ready for Communion which we share on most Sundays. I also act as sidesman every week, greeting people as they arrive for our service and handing out bibles. In this I am very fortunate to have David Garlick working alongside me for the past year or so. He is a rock in this respect. It is important to make everyone feel welcome at St. Peter’s and put them at their ease. This is essential if newcomers are to be encouraged to become regular worshippers. After the disruption caused by the pandemic our numbers are slowly increasing. Our financial resources are

APCM AGENDAS REPORTS 2023 

severely stretched, so we should all pray that our church does not only survive but thrive. Then all the hard work undertaken by our Mission Team in the name of Christ will have borne much fruit.

## **Social Activities                   St Peters Report for the APCM                Sunday 23rd April 2023** 

A Hearts & Music evening was performed in St. Peter’s Church on 18th June 2022. It Is a varied programme of music & songs, from show, folk, pop & classical music involving singing & dancing and making full use of the wonderful acoustics and space that our church has to offer. £598 was raised, of which £300 was sent to The British Red Cross Ukraine Appeal Fund. 

Another Hearts & Music evening is planned for Saturday 24th June this year. 

A MacMillan Coffee Morning was held in September 2022 to raise funds for the MacMillan cancer Fund. 

Quizzes are held 3 times a year, in February, May & October, to raise funds for the church. They are held in the Chapter House and attract up to 40 quizzers. We enjoy a fish & chip supper, a raffle and plenty of head scratching! 

A trip on the John Bunyan Community Boat was enjoyed by many of us last September, again with a fish and chip supper and entertainment provided by members of the choir with the singing of nautically themed songs accompanied by Paul Fricker and Paul Downham on their guitars. 

Another trip on the JB is booked for 2nd September this year. 

Mince pies and warm mulled wine were served after the carol Service on December 22nd 2022

## **Rectors report 2023 APCM** 

Dear All 

Its been another difficult year post-covid. But we have, and will keep going forward. 

My appointment at St Peters was designated as a half-time post, well, as you’ll be aware in ministry there is no such thing as ‘half-time’, but just to let you know what I do in the other “half” of my role I thought it was worth listing them

## Gone to Glory 

We have had some of our much loved congregation members go on to eternal life in heaven, and they will be missed. I won’t name them all here but whilst we do miss them here with us, we rejoice in their move to eternal life with Christ and pray that they will put in a good word for us with Jesus and that He will honour them , and us, as we move forward in our mission to grow in His name. 

## Preaching 

Collectively the mission team, and visiting preachers, have preached on our individual calling to be missionaries and to share our faith with others so that they can come and find God is active and Jesus is with us here at St Peters. 

## Worship 

Our sign on the railings says “God welcomes All Sorts” and what a diverse community we are. We are a welcoming group that accepts each other in fellowship in Christ and may we always be so. 

Our worship is much more relaxed, but Christ centred, our tone is much more directed at growing each one of our congregation in their own mission for Jesus to make new disciples for him. Also its focused upon the growth of each of you spiritually to be more confident in your faith and to help us grow as a community of believers. 

## Energy Costs 

We have also had to find more money to pay our heating and electricity bills. This is nobody’s fault, but the war in Ukraine has a knock on effect to the whole world, and food and energy bills have soared because of this our energy bill in Autumn 2021-2022 was in the region of £500, but for the same period of 2022-2023 it was about £2700. To be honest we don’t have enough contributions in the form of gift aid or donations and have been dipping into the church funds which will shortly be ‘all gone’. I know you all give something but if I might ask when you have the opportunity if you were able to donate 

9 | P a g e 



APCM AGENDAS REPORTS 2023 

something extra that would be very helpful. And as we grow in number more people gifting to the church will ease our financial difficulties in due course. 

## Liz McHale retiring 

As you might be aware Liz our long standing church administrator retired from the job at the beginning of the New Year. Well honestly, none of us realised just how much she did and now how much we have to learn to keep up with the church administration. Just to mention a few things:- she booked the church hall for the various groups that use it, and was always looking for other sources of income by inviting other groups to become potential users/renters. She supervised the emails (oh my goodness, I have just taken that job on and the church gets a myriad of emails and each takes time to deal with) 

She was the church Safeguarding Officer, a role that’s so important that without one we cant legally function as a church. She has had to collate each persons safeguarding record and gently reminded/persuaded/cajoled people who need to, to do their safeguarding on line training. We still have some who have fallen through the cracks and still need to do their updates. And I have received a strong email from the safeguarding team at the diocese office that we arent insured unless all get their courses done. There are a whole load of other things she did which Teresa Calrke and I have been learning over the last four months, and we are so very grateful that Liz is still willing to help us learn ‘things we didn’t know we needed to know’. So please if you are able to do a small job to help in the administration of your church, please come and speak to me, Teresa Clarke and Paul Downham and we will find a role for you. 

## Church Building 

We have still got to find the money for upgrading our electrics and purchase of new chairs in the chapter house as the old brown cushioned seats of the metal chairs is worn out and seriously looks uninviting to sit on for those who rent the hall. Which might not seem to much of a problem but honestly its not a good look and does put the renters off. So if we had new chairs we might attract more rental income. 

The fabric of the building is generally better than most churches but we have a continual fight to keep the drains clear and stop rain water over flowing from blocked drains and gutters into the vestry. The South wall is in need of rescue from water egress due to the badly placed path which is against the wall and doesn’t allow for proper drainage. The lights in the church itself need to be replaced with modern low energy lighting and is so old that it would seem that they don’t even comply with EU law so the EU stopped the bulbs being made, so if we lose a light bulb we can’t expect to replace it. 

## Baptisms and Confirmations 

As we come out of lockdowns last year one of my great joys was to be approached by Lizzie Wilkin who asked to be baptised. Obviously that was a reflection of her personal commitment to the Lord and then for David and Carla to ask for their new twin babies to be baptised we were doubly overjoyed. However Revd Rachel & I had to have a 

10 | P a g e 



APCM AGENDAS REPORTS 2023 

conversation about who got to do which baptisms, and whilst I baptised Lizzie, we shared the twins between us doing ‘one each’. 

And as you will be aware we then had a baptism and confirmation service at St Andrews Kimbolton , where Paul Hudson & Johanna were  baptised and then confirmed with Lizzie and Ivan by the Bishop Alan the Diocesan Bishop of St Albans. 

## Special services 

In November I conducted a service of re-dedication of the Masonic Gates which were put in place between the choir nave and altar in 1902. This was attended members of the Masonic Lodges across Bedfordshire. To wit, they felt so welcomed by the church members who were here on the day to help with the service that they have already booked for their Christmas carol service to be held with us on 3[rd] December. 

IMPAKT Housing Christmas Carol Service was held in church on Friday afternoon16[th] December and much thanks to Heather Buxton Hall who volunteered to help lead the singing. Its worth pointing out that the staff of IMPAKT is made up of  diverse ethnic backgrounds and religions, but, having worked hard over the last few years to establish a relationship with them, THEY request to come and sing carols in church. So some 70 of them turned up and as Heather will attest, they really joined in with gusto. 

Our Carol service was brilliant, after the last two years when we’ve been stopped from holding a service due to covid, or people have been hesitant to come out, last year went really very well, and my thanks to Heather, and all involved. 

## The adventures of Sound & Vision 

As you will have noticed in the last few months, we have had a bit of an adventure with the TVs and audio system on Sunday mornings. I am definitely convinced that the devil is actively interfering with them so that we can’t hold our services. But! As you will have seen, when this failure of TVs and audio has occurred, several people suddenly jump into action and extension leads, and speaker boxes appear and we continue to hold the services, despite sometimes starting a bit late, or the Rector (me) praying rapidly and silently for divine intervention and feeling a migraine coming on because the I.T has conspired against us and wont work until the very last minute. But it does work and all due to God showing us how. 

I think Heathers hymn to the tune of English Country Garden summed it up wonderfully. 

I would thank everyone who is involved or who just wants to come and be part of our church family for being here. 

And in closing:- We have been blessed with our Sunday morning I.T. officiant, Ivan, who calmly changes the screen pictures as we progress through the liturgy and hymns, and who is now adept at dealing with the small glitches that happen and everyone appreciates his help.

My thanks to the church wardens, PCC members, our treasurer, Music group leaders, lay readers choir, sides people, readers leaders intercessors and organisers. We can’t be church without them 

There is a need for more volunteers to do small jobs, please speak to myself or the church wardens and ask what you can do. Its your church after all.

St Peter de Merton with St Cuthbert 

Annual Accounts for the year ending 

## 31 December 2022 



## **Treasurer’s Report** 

## **For the year ended 31 December 2022** 

The PAXTON Accounting System has been used for all PCC Income and Expenditure as well as for the following Funds: **St Cuthbert Fund** “For ecclesiastical and charitable purposes in or connected with the parish of Bedford St Peter”; Raleigh **Bequest** – Endowment; **St Peter’s Church Estate** – for repairing and beautifying the parish church and insuring the same; **Sir Alexander Leith’s Charity** – for religious education of children; **St Peter’s Chapter House** – for the day-to-day income and expenditure of the Chapter House. 

For your information, the **Unrestricted Funds** are the PCC and Chapter House Funds, the **Restricted Funds** are the St Peter’s Church Estate and Leith Charity, and the **Endowment Funds** are the St Cuthbert and Raleigh Trust Funds. 

All these funds are combined in the end of year Charity Commission and SOFA protocols (pages 2 and 3 of the finance booklet).  Also included in subsequent pages of the booklet is a detailed breakdown of income and expenditure of the nominal accounts. 

**St Peter’s Parochial Buildings Trust** is a separate charity No 250746 and is not included in the PAXTON system. A separately examined account for the charity is included at the end of this booklet. 

## **Income and Expenditure** 

Overall, the financial picture is slightly improved from that of 2021.  Income in our unrestricted funds, from which we pay our bills, increased from **£38,655.86** in 2021 to **£42,477.05** in 2022.  This was due in part to an increase in donations (including reclaimed gift aid) from **£26,711.49** in 2021 to **£28,271.37** .  However, expenditure continues to outstrip our income totalling in 2022 **£98,936.17** , which gave us a shortfall of **£56,459.12** of income over the year.  (On a positive note this is saving of **£14,000** from 2021 where the shortfall was **£70,726.37** ). Once again the shortfall was covered by cashing in shares from the PCC Income Shares Investment Fund. 

Our largest item of expenditure remains our Parish Share, which this year was **£58,860.** Other large expenditure items include salary and oncosts for our parish administrator ( **£10,474.31** ); new equipment, which includes the final two instalments for the installation costs of the cameras in church ( **£5,922.24** ); and energy costs ( **£4,203.82** ). 

## **Investments** 

This has been a volatile year for investments.  All our investments have decreased in value by **£94,087.43** .  To put this into perspective, this is more or less their value at the end of 2020. The exception to this is the PCC Income Shares from which we have cashed in shares to supplement our income. In previous years the loss on these has been offset by bumper growth, however 



this has not been the case in 2022.  In July we withdrew **£25,000** , as mentioned above, in order to cover our financial shortfall. Therefore, due to the global financial situation the loss in value to these funds is more than the value of our withdrawal, which totals **£31,454.65** not £25,000. At this point, I need to point out that this fund now has the value of **£32,983.89** .  As we have been accustomed to use this as our back up to meet our financial obligations, you can clearly see that this fund is likely to be exhausted during 2023. 

## **Conclusion** 

As your treasurer I am encouraged by the upturn in our overall income and expenditure in 2022, however I also need to emphasise that as a church community, unless we can improve our financial situation we will have to make hard choices as to our spending priorities. For example, in 2023 we face much larger energy bills. Therefore, we need to continually review how we use our buildings, so that we can generate as much income as we can from these tangible assets. However, I do need to point out that as the majority of our income comes from donations, over the next few months, I would encourage you to prayerfully consider your own personal giving.  Every little will help, especially if we can claim gift aid on your donation. 

## **St Peter’s Parochial Buildings Trust** 

In 2022 the main items of expenditure for the Parochial Buildings Trust were replacement heaters for the Chapter House and DBS fees for members of the PCC which we are required to complete in order to be fully compliant with our safeguarding policy. There was increased income due to an increase in the dividends from investments and an increase in interest on assets held in deposit accounts. However as with the PCC investment funds, the Parochial Buildings Trust investments also incurred an overall loss of £34,582. 

As is customary I would like to extend my thanks to all those who help in creating these accounts; to Liz McHale, who ensures that the Chapter House funds are paid into the bank; to Rosemary Evans, who provides the back-up ledger for gift aid donations for the PCC and for the Friends of St Peter’s; and to Anthony Chestney, for his administration of the St Peter’s Parochial Buildings Trust and St Peter’s Church Estate funds. In addition I would like to thank Barrie Frost, who has once again acted as our independent examiner. However, most of all, I would like to thank you, the congregation of St Peter’s who have been loyal in your support of the work of this church and its mission, by setting up standing orders, donating through the Parish Giving Scheme, zapping your card on the card reader and using your giving envelopes. Through your efforts we have improved our financial situation from that of last year and I believe that in the year to come we will work together to make further strides in improving the financial outlook for 2023
