**Vicars Comments** 

What do we look like as a church? A good question to have asked at the beginning of 2021, when we were faced with another period when public worship was suspended, and gathering online became once again for a season, the main means of engaging with Christian worship. With the help of God we worshipped together online in our recorded services, and it was a joyous moment when on Easter Day we began to gather together once more and the sacred grounds and the buildings of the parish came alive again as we re-inhabited them, filling them with our songs of praise and prayerful presence. 

Other highlights from 2021 included, a wonderful open-air service with our sister church at Beckwithshaw, as well as being able to celebrate with couples at their weddings, baptise new believers in our services, and see people Confirmed by Bishop Helen-Ann. It was also a special thing to be able to offer again the sacred space of the church building to the parish community and to families mourning a loved one. It was good to be able to see Crumpet Church and Junior Church resume in the second half of the year, and I am grateful to the whole Team for all that they do, alongside a team of regular helpers. Every year, I speak of my thankfulness to the team of people who do so much to resource our worship, and the organisational tasks that are done often unseen, and it is their unseen-ness which demonstrates the skill and care that has been given. There is a small army who do a huge range of things which keep St Robert’s community alive, and it continues to amaze me the amount that we are able to do together. 

One huge part of our worship slowly emerged from the restrictions, that is our music and our choir. The children’s section of the choir has grown, both in number and skill – thank you to Kevin and Sarah Paynes for giving up their time, each Thursday to teach and lead them. As our choir is less constrained by the restrictions, we have experienced the beauty and gift that they bring and it is something that I have missed, thank you Choir and thank you Kevin and thank you Iain for standing in when Kevin is absent. Thank you to our organists, to all the sidespeople, readers and leaders of prayers, church and brass cleaners, those on the coffee rota and to simply everyone who contributes to the shared life of the church at Pannal. 

The PCC is responsible for the governance of the Parish. Much has been asked of its members over the past year, legally, in terms of discernment and wisdom, to make difficult decisions and to lead us out of this unprecedented time. They have also been asked to undertake a huge amount of safeguarding training which they were not expecting. It is never easy to be pioneers of new systems and procedures. Thank you. Thank you. 



It has been wonderful to say welcome to Stuart Newsome as our Lay Worship Leader and to share with the ministry of Adrian Cook as he has led us in some beautiful acts of worship. We look forward to welcoming Susan House as a Licensed Lay Minister as she transfers from York diocese. 

Our churchyard is maintained by a small faithful team of volunteers. Thank you Carl Hopkins for all your hard work and commitment as a leader.  And we continued to be blessed in our worship through the skills of the flower arrangers led by Christine Littlewood -we are indebted to them all. We continue to follow the House of Bishops’ guidance on Safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. Jane Newsome oversees this vital work as Parish Safeguarding Officer, and Stuart Newsome as DBS officer. Thank you to them. Tim White continues as our administrator and offers so much working alongside me and supported by Iain Ward-Campbell in administrating the web-site plus so much more. Anita Hawker our treasurer keeps us so well informed. This helps with the burden of the ongoing finances which have been decimated by the lockdowns and the lack of social and fundraising events. Thank you. Thank you also to Liz Wild as our Independent Examiner for her service to us. 

In 2021 we said goodbye to Abbie & Steve and their family. It has been a pleasure and privilege working with them over the past 3 ½ years. We wish them well in the future. We also said hello and welcome to Nick Murray as our curate and to Joy as they, together with their family, start this new adventure. 

There are many others who give a significant amount of time but finally, I wish to record my thanks to Ted Collings & Joan Adams as our Wardens, and to Ann Howard as our Assistant Warden for the many things they all do behind the scenes to ensure our church family, buildings and clergy are cared for. I really don’t know what I would do without such a caring loving team. I look forward to seeing how God leads and uses us all in the future. 

So into 2022, where are we going? The war in Ukraine has changed the world around us. Many people in our parish and Benefice face significant challenges in the months ahead, so how should the church respond? We are called to be loving, living and learning as a community. These are key aspects of our faith. These are as relevant today as they ever were. The Psalmist writes, “The LORD is my light and salvation; whom shall I fear?” and, “One thing I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple.” (Psalm 27.1 & 4). I believe there is no other guide through life than Christ, who gave of Himself and promised the kingdom through the Spirit, but that doesn’t mean that the answers to all our lives’ questions are immediately obvious. Both testaments, Old and New are filled with 



people wrestling together with what faith means and how to live it out. That is where our values come together. Whatever 2022 or even future years bring, it is together with one another and with Jesus that hope is found. God has called us together in this place to be disciples in the parish of St Robert of Knaresborough, to learn of Jesus, to proclaim the faith in word and deed, and through our gathering weekly and at festival times to bring the world before the risen Jesus in prayer and worship. The crib, the cross and the experience of the desert are all part of the Christian experience, alongside peace deeper than words. Martin Luther wrote of the importance of spending time in prayer and giving more time to prayer when things get busy. This is the real work of the church, taking us deeper into God. So, where are we going? My prayer is that in 2022 and beyond, our business would be deepening Christian faith, building community and loving one another and the wider world in response to the greatest love of all, that of Jesus Himself, through regular worship, private and public prayer and walking alongside the parish community in the times of great challenge and great joy. 

## **Electoral Roll Report** 


Since last year there have been 3 additions to the Electoral Roll. 3 names have been removed 3  have moved away. The total has therefore stayed the same at 176. 

Diane Butterfield - Electoral Roll officer 



**Annual Report** 

## **Ministry** 

Well Crumpet Church returned towards the end of the year and enjoyed the stories and songs and being together as we learn about Jesus through our worship and praise. Our Youth Work has restarted with a small group and continues to go from strength to strength. All the occasional offices started as we saw a couple of weddings and started baptising children again. 


It has been good to be able to connect face to face with families as they come for occasional offices. Abbie moved post Easter 2021 having completed her training, she has offered much in her ministry among us. We have also been blessed with Steve Palmer’s ministry and he has planned and lead our All Age services as well as develop and encourage a large group of young lay leaders. I am grateful for all the support and for what I have been able to learn through them. Steve before he left spoke with Stuart at a training event to find that Stuart had been leading All Age services in his parishes and was moving to Pannal. Stuart took  up that mantel as Steve left. We have enjoyed having Stuart with us and the ministry he brings. It was great to be at Nick Murry’s ordination, even if my phone did go off in Ripon Cathedral, and to welcome him into the Parishes along with Joy, and their children Lydia, Isobel and Edward. We wish them well as they join us for this phase of their lives. We hope and pray that they will be truly blessed in the time they are with us. 

**Mission & Outreach** One huge part of our outreach had to stop and remained suspended throughout 2021. All our annual events were all cancelled. We had to sadly cancel our annual visit by Centre Point and we suspend lunch club as well as a plethora of other events during the year. Despite it being a difficult year financially we continue to offer financial support to a number of organisations as part of our outreach as well as continuing our links and support of Meeting Point in Armley. 

## **Worship & Discipleship** 


Our worship though the year has moved from locked down, with recorded/streamed services for Ash Wednesday, through Lent, to a recorded Palm Sunday Service. Easter was restricted numbers and then we have progressively moved virtually back to normal. There were still some 

restrictions at the end of the year and Covid has been prevalent amongst 


the congregation and numbers remained around one fifth of the pre pandemic numbers 



but we are hopeful they will increase. Music is a huge part of our tradition and worship, we are very blessed in this area. We saw throughout the year the choir being able to do more and more and we enjoyed two Carol services with reduced numbers in church. We also had 3 Crib services for the same reason and many people attended each of the services.  We celebrated all the major festivals with a very different feel at Easter which limited capacity. We continue to stream service as we wanted to be able to reach as many people as possible. In terms of Lay leadership, we welcomed Stuart Newsome who with a team of young leaders have delivered All Age Worship. Adrian Cook has been planning and leading services throughout the year. These has been well received and has brough a new dimension to an array of services. We ran a number of nurture courses and discipleship courses as well as continuing the bible study group during the year. We continue to look at how we can be church together. 

## **Continuing the journey together** 

None of what we do is possible without the many resources required. Finance continued to be a concern thought the year but due to a significant legacy we managed to hold our own throughout the year. A big thank you to the finance team who have guided us through this difficult time. We continue to take seriously our commitment to our environment policy and the targets we have set. We have undertaken a complete review of Safeguarding and with new regulations from the Church of England we have undertaken the required Safeguarding training and implemented a robust system of compliance. We look forward to moving forward together even if the future is difficult to predict. We don’t yet know what that is going to look like but we do know it won’t be the same!

## **Financial Summary 2021** 

The comparison is between the actual year end figures for 2021 with 2020, as shown in the accounts, bearing in mind that neither year was a ‘normal’ year, with Covid restrictions for 9 months of 2020 and most of 2021. 

- We ended the year showing a surplus of £2479 **BUT** we had a legacy of £25000, so without that we would be showing a deficit of £22521. We are extremely grateful to have received the legacy 

- Our Parish Share of £104466 was paid in full; this will need to be reviewed again in 2022. 



- Our investments performed very well in 2021, giving a gain of just under £14000 (an increase of 17%). It was decided to make use of the gain, resulting in the sale of £12000 worth of shares. This was used in part to repay in full the ‘Bounce Back Loan’ of £10000 which was taken out with NatWest Bank in July 2020. 

## **Income** 

Inevitably, many of our income headings were down on the previous year. Not taking into account the £25000 legacy, our income in 2021 was £25038 down on 2020. 

- Voluntary income (excluding grants) was down by £8414  – planned giving (and associated gift aid) was down by £3634, and general donations down by £5138. We lost several standing orders during the year, for various reasons, but with services not taking place, we weren’t in the position to re-launch the Parish Giving Scheme. Having said that, we started 2021 with 17 donors in the PGS, and, after encouraging people to use the scheme in their thank you letters, we finished it with 31 in the scheme (8 new givers and 23 transferring from standing order). This is in addition to around 130 still giving by standing order 

- Voluntary income (grants) – No grants were applied for in 2021 

- Activities for generating funds – fundraising income was down by £9000, with the ability to offer fundraising events being limited. However, the online Christmas Hampers raised a record £1117, the 100 Club raised £223 and the Music Circle £70. Lunch Club gave a generous £100 donation in spite of being severely restricted in their ability to meet. 

- Income from church activities £2500 up – fees for weddings and funerals were up by £3500, with weddings now being able to take place. Encouragingly, Chapter House bookings were only slightly below 2020. The parish magazine was not produced in 2021, so no income was received 

- Hopefully all of the above income streams will improve in 2022 

## **Expenditure** 

Not taking into account Major Repairs and Replacements, which tend to be one-off items, our expenditure in 2021 was around £2000 higher than in 2020. This mainly related to expenditure on church services as the services started up again, and an increase in admin and support costs 



## **Church Wardens Report** 

This year, as last, this report provides an update on the continuing maintenance of our Church building and the worship within. It provides also an opportunity not simply for reflection but to express our thanks for what was achieved during a year which was, again, somewhat different because of the continuing pandemic. 

We stood together as a congregation to address the continuing challenges and opportunities not least of which were the changes in and easing of government regulations. These led to a slowly increasing number of people returning to worship in Church whilst we continued to provide a number of online services. 

Many aspects of our church life and worship have taken place under changed, and sometimes difficult, circumstances and we should like to state our continuing gratitude to all those, clergy, PCC members, musicians, volunteers and congregation, who have kept the Church and Churchyard running during these ‘different’ times. 

When we have been able to worship in church, appropriate risk assessments have been undertaken and our group of ‘Service Managers’ has continued to contribute much to ensuring safe practice. One thing which remains in abeyance, in common, it seems, with most parish churches, is the sharing of the Common Cup during the Eucharist. At the moment there is no plan to resume this aspect of our worship in the near future but, hopefully, we can now look forward to continuing in-person worship with increasing numbers and confidence as we remain united to address whatever lies ahead. 

During a delivery of donations to our mission partners Meeting Point on Wednesday last, leaders there asked that sincere thanks be passed to our congregation for the continuing regular donations of clothing and money which enable clients to have a more comfortable and satisfied lifestyle. Their current most pressing need is for baby goods as they have five expectant mothers who need help. If you have any baby items which you could donate please let one of the wardens know so that transport can be arranged. 

## **Consolidated Fabric Report** 

The Fabric Committee met on a number of occasions during the year, during which the following items arose and been addressed as stated; 

Outstanding items concerning the A/V system were rectified. 



A settlement was reached with our insurance company to meet the cost of repairs to the Chapter House lighting trough and replacement of three curtains all damaged in last year’s water ingress from the refurbished Chapter House roof. 

The joinery repairs to the Lighting Trough in the Chapter House were completed. 

The PCC approved a resolution to replace all of the window curtains in the chapter House. Quotations for this are being sought. 

The roofing contractor Roofs Above returned and carried out warranty work on the leaking flat roof of the Chapter House. 

Repairs were required to both the dishwashing machine and the water boiler in the Chapter House kitchen. 

Spare led light bulbs were purchased for Nave and Chancel. 

The Chapter House fridge failed and was replaced with a new one. 

Our three bell ropes and sallies were found to be rotten (one snapped during a bell ring) thereby creating a hazard for ringers. They were all replaced. Installation was carried out free of charge by Mr David Town of All Saints Church, Northallerton, 

Leaks in both Nave and Chancel roofs repaired. Lay Rector liability for chancel maintenance paid for that repair. Our own liability for Nave £120. Vegetation growth reported in Nave north gutter. All gutters cleaned. 

The annual Big Clean did not take place. 

Donated secondhand lawnmower serviced. 

Lightning Conductor tested and certified. 

This year it has cost £1500 to maintain our beautiful Church fabric and its facilities. 

Ted Collings/ Joan Adams - Churchwardens. 

Ann Howard - Deputy Churchwarden. 



## **Deanery Synod Report** 

We have four members on the PCC who are representatives on the Deanery Synod, providing a link between the parish and the wider church. Our representatives are Anita Hawker, Christine Ward-Campbell, Shirley Clegg and Stuart Newsome. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was only one in-person meeting in February; however, Synod met by Zoom in December. Agenda items included the Parish Giving Scheme, Children and Youth Work and Rhythm of Life. The new Diocesan Secretary Mr Jonathan Wood also spoke about his role. 

## **- Safeguarding Report May 2022** 

The C of E , House of Bishops’ Safeguarding Policy states: “ The care and protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults involved in our church community are the responsibility of the whole church. Everyone who participates in the life of the church has a role to play in promoting a safer church for all. “ To that end, here at St. Robert’s Church, the leadership team and PCC take safeguarding very seriously and are totally committed to meeting all safeguarding requirements by delivering the best and informed safeguarding care to all our church community. It is a legal requirement for all those in leadership or holding specific roles within our church to complete various levels of safeguarding training. To date 65 different levels of safeguarding training courses have already been completed and are ongoing to ensure we deliver best practise. I am extremely pleased to report that, also to date, there have been no safeguarding issues or causes for concern reported within our parish. 

Should you have any cause for concern on a safeguarding matter please contact, in the first instant, either : Revd John Smith - 01423 391514 or Jane Newsome, Parish Safeguarding Officer ( PSO )- 01423 873398 

All contact details for various safeguarding topics and a copy of the C of E Safeguarding Policy along with St. Robert’s safeguarding policy are displayed on the “ Safeguarding “ noticeboard at the back of church.. 

We are blessed here at St. Robert’s in a happy, caring church community but please remember : 


and if in doubt : 

RECOGNISE , RESPOND, REPORT 

Yours in fellowship , Jane Newsome ( PSO )
