PAROCHIALCHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIAThCAL PARISH OF 5r THOMAS ST AIINES ON ThE SEA PARISH OF ST. ANNE'S ON SEA: ST THOMAS. INCUMBENT'S REPORT FOR 2020 It is, l think. what Jane Austen would have lled "a truth universally acknowledged" that 2020 was a year unlike any other in any of our recollection. If onc turns to the March magazine of that year my letter sp¢aks of using Lent to ¢xamine what we do as a thuh, asking whethcr there are better ways to do what we do and what tbings need doing which we are not doing. By 15 March some of the older members of the congregation were telling me they were pla[ing to go into semi-i501ation bause of Covid 19, while the time Mothering Sunday came round on 22 nd March we were looking at doing an on lin¢ s¢ryiL% from a church that was closed for public worship. I think few of us realised even then that th¢ next scrvice in St Thomas, Church ( if one leav aside the saying of the daily Morning Prayer) would be our Patronal FGstiva] on th¢ first Sunday of July. Since then until the present. we have still only been able to hold Worship in a r¢striCt"COVid safe" fashion and have had two firther periods in November-December and through rnuch of January and Febnwy 2021 when worship could on]y be offered remotely. That said, the worshipping life of St Thomas, has continud and we have found a variety of new ways of operating. What would have thoUt two years ago that our parish FarKlx)ok pagc would bewme for many the way they re8ularly accessed worship or that we would have our own YouTube ¢hat]n¢l for offering on-line worship, devotional materials and worship and Bible stories aimed at ¢hildr¢n. As the wcather improved with the approach of surnmer, we offered prayer walks through the church groun(is linked to PentecosL Creation and similar themes. From the summer we were able to re-open th¢ tady Chapel for private prayer and though kcqjing it Covid -gaf¢ prescntcd a chdlenge, the extra effort has proved to be well worth it as people unable to a¢c¢ss public worship have gonc in to offer their own prayers. The magazine at first went entirely on line, but gradually reappeared as a paper publication and, though pastoral visiting and home communions have been largely impossibl¢. m¢mb¢rs of the ministry team have endeavouTcd to ensure that none of our congregation would be left isolated while leafiets wntsining fonns of service for Sundays have been distributed to those who don't have access to the internet. The congregation as a whole have also proved vy good at keeping in cnntact with each other, though some have not yet felt able to return to worship ia thurch a year lat. Sadly our work with children has been worst hit, with Messy Church and Youth Group having to close, school and nursery no longer being able to cA>me into churth for worship) and restrictions on singing and movement making effective all age worship problematic. That said the Pet service went ahead taking on some of the mor¢ InfOrn) asp of our harvest services and some of our younger farn111 Came togL#her for a very effective Christingle service. In the summer some of our fatnilies got logether to do some really eff1ve WOTk tidying the thurch wunds for which we are extremely grateful and though rnuch of our income from hall rentals has disappearal we have had enough money to pay for the rotting fla8pol¢ to be removed from th¢ tower and its replacement by a new ligbtning conductor. With no social activities or fundraising sinc¢ March 2020 and long p¢riods where we have had no services our income has inltablY been hit. However the generosity of our congregation members has meant that we have remainoj financially solvent and were able to pay such a high ptOFK)rtion of the parish share that the diocese had deemol it paid in full. 2021 will have its challenges. We still worship under a Tegime of Covid Testrictions and our social and fijnd raising activitics will onrx again be limilal. Inevitably our attendance levels are lower than they had though we hope and prny that gradually pwpl¢ will return. However we know we have Lx)me througb a very difficult year and we fdcc the futur¢ with Optimism and det¢miination.
