Vicars Comments

Dear Friends

This report reflects the activities, services and events between the period of January to December 2023. Having just celebrated Pentecost, it is wonderful to be reminded of the hope that the gospel of Jesus Christ offers us as we seek to serve the mission and ministry of St Robert’s church. Springtime gifts us the promise of new beginnings, as we observe the beauty of God’s creation burst into colourful song and bloom. In my mind, this is echoed in the life of our worshipping community. There is much to be thankful to God for over the last year.

There are so many people who support the activities in the parish, and we are grateful to everyone who gives their time, effort and energy to the work of God’s mission in Pannal

and the surrounding areas. On behalf of the churches’ communities, I offer my thanks to all those clergy who have helped deliver ministry with a special thank you to The Reverend Nick Murray especially for my time on Sabbatical. I would also like to say a huge thank you to Stuart Newsome, Susan House and Adrian Cook for their ministries. We are grateful to our Churchwardens Ted Collings and Joan Adams and to Ann Howard our Deputy Warden, who work tirelessly to ensure that our worship happens and that our buildings are safe and maintained. I would also like to thank them for their care of me and ensuring that I’m okay. This particularly came to the fore when I was recently ill and in hospital. I am immensely grateful to the contributions of all our PCC members for their wisdom, insights and contributions as we have sought God’s will and direction in our church’s activities this year. Beyond those people I have mentioned there is a plethora of people who offer a wonderful ministry too many to name everyone but I am grateful to all those who offer something of themselves to the ministry of the church. May God continue to bless you abundantly in your ministry.

Reflecting on 2023, there is much to be thankful to God for. On Sundays, we regularly have 100 plus people and around 100 people midweek from toddlers to nonagenarians and it has been great to see new people join occasionally and more regularly. Occasional offices (funerals, baptisms and weddings) remain an important part of our ministry. Although we saw only a handful of weddings last year, we helped innumerable people say farewell to loved ones and we welcomed into church around 30 people through baptism. The Bishop confirmed 8 people who wanted to publicly announce their faith in Christ. We continue to work with the local schools and the relationship remains strong. Across the benefice we take a monthly service into three different Care Homes and there is a faithful team supporting Nick and me in this ministry.

As a church we continue to give generously to the charities we support: Meeting Point Armley and the Harrogate Food Bank, as well as supporting financially Otley Christian Resource Centre, Wellspring Therapy & Training, USPG, Compassion, Mission to Seafarers, The Salvation Army, Martin House, Parkinson’s Society and the DEC Ukraine Appeal. Highlights of last year include the following:

Our annual Beer Festival and Family Fun Day
A visit from our mission partners from Meeting point Armley
Good Friday performance of Stainer’s Crucifixion by the choir
Continued growth in the mid-week communion service
Over a 100 children attending Crumpet church and Junior church
Our fabulous Lunch Club

All the wonderful groups that meet on a regular basis including Mother Union, Music Circle plus many other external groups

Will you join with me in praying for our community this coming year, as we endeavour to be a people who “learn to do good; seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan, [and] plead for the widow” (Isaiah 1.17).

With every blessing in Christ, John

Church Wardens Annual Report 2023

The pattern of services continued as in 2022.

As well as our offering of Holy Communion in Church, we set a pattern of distribution to local care homes and individual homes on a monthly basis.

Our provision of on-line services continued although the numbers attending via this medium were further reduced as Congregation numbers at live services in Church increased.

We welcomed new members of varying ages to our Church family in direct proportion to the loss of existing members. The Electoral Role shows one hundred and seventy six members for years 2022 and 2023.

The Churchwardens wish to extend thanks to Clergy, PCC, musicians, sidespeople, readers, fundraisers, coffee and lunch makers, gardeners and grass cutters, flower arrangers, brass polishers, PSO team and indeed all our wonderful and amazing volunteers who keep the Church and Churchyard functioning.

Thank you to you all.

Among the various duties assigned to Wardens is to report to the Annual Meeting concerning the church building, its ornaments and chattels. We confirm that the church inventory was inspected by the Wardens in the run up to this APCM meeting and was found to be in order.

Joan, Ted and Ann Sunday 26th May 2024

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL

The aim of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) is to co-operate with the incumbent in promoting in the parish ‘the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical’. This includes oversight of the church finances and maintenance of our church buildings, grounds and other properties. Membership of the PCC consists of clergy, churchwardens, deanery synod representatives and up to 6 lay members, elected for threeyear terms at the APCM. To ensure smooth functioning of the committee, lay members’ terms of office start and finish in different years, so that we have a mixture of new and experienced lay representatives. During the course of 2023 the PCC met on a total of 6 occasions.

The PCC discharges its duties with the help of committees which report back to the full PCC, with minutes of their decisions discussed further as necessary. Those committees are the Finance Committee, the Fabric Committee and the Mission & Ministry Committee. A Standing Committee no longer reports to PCC as it has proved more expedient for any matters that would normally come before the committee to be dealt with in informal discussions between the clergy and wardens.

FABRIC REPORT

The following is a summary of works carried out during the year. These have been reported in bi-monthly Fabric Reports to our PCC.

January: The Epiphany Party, hosted by the Wardens to thank all volunteers, took place for the first time since the pandemic

March: saw the hanging of our beautifully made, fireproof and thermally lined curtains adding a degree of warmth, colour and refinement to our Chapter House to the benefit of all users, particularly during the winter months. Financial contributions from individual congregation members are greatly appreciated as was the purchase of the two extra Chapter House to Nave door curtains by Lunch Club, the balances met by a successful insurance claim on the old water-stained curtains.

PCC accepted quotation for Chancel roof investigatory roof works from Pearson Roofing.

May: Overnight on 17th May the stone Corbel immediately above the Pulpit fractured and a large piece of the Corbel crashed down into the pulpit. Fortunately no additional damage was caused and no personal injury sustained. Over the months following we had visits from our Conservation Architect, Structural Engineer, Loss Assessors and tradespeople to provide advice, recommendations and tenders for cosmetic reconstruction of the corbel, its modification to prevent a recurrence of the problem and the modification of the remaining nine corbels to prevent a similar occurrence. It emerged that this event was outside the benefits of our insurance policy. The costs incurred will amount to around £8,000 though our insurance company, as a gesture of goodwill, did cover the Architect’s and Structural Engineer’s fees.

Lightning Conductor tested and re-Certified.

Fire Extinguishers and Fire Blanket were service checked and replaced where found to be out of date.

June: Church clock had annual service.

Our incumbent began a three-month sabbatical. We are grateful to those who led worship in his absence.

The inspection survey of the Chancel roof took place. This necessitated the erection of scaffolding and the removal of a large number of roof tiles so that the structural elements constituting ‘the roof’ of the Chancel, including its wooden substructure could be examined and its condition assessed for repair/refurbishment/replacement.

September: Rev. John returned from sabbatical, rested, refreshed and recuperated, we benefitted from hearing of his study and experiences in the Holy Land.

October: The Quinquennial Inspection was carried out by our Conservation Architect and resulted in a 43 page document identifying works (including reference to the Chancel roof) that require attention during the next five years.

The QI Report also advised a Structural Engineer’s survey and report on the Boiler House and Bell Tower timbers which in themselves have identified a number of tasks that will be incorporated into the work schedule over the current quinquennial period.

Garden of Remembrance was re-laid and headstones in churchyard checked by Messrs Stephensons and where attention was required it was given.

November: Updated Terms and Conditions document received from our Architect with an estimate of £60,000 for re-roofing of the Chancel.

The inspection of the Boiler House and Tower by Structural Engineer requested by Architect completed.

Poppy Curtain raised for 6th consecutive year, still drawing lots of attention and positive comments from parishioners, car park users and passers-by.

The Roll of Remembrance read in church has been extended to recognise those held dear by parishioners who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in more recent conflicts and wooden crosses bearing their names have been added to those placed annually in the Churchyard memorial garden.

December: All Christmas services were held as normal, attendance was good especially the Carol Service

Earlier we mentioned our gratitude to those particularly who help to maintain the churchyard, we continually appeal throughout each year for additional help in maintaining the yard of our beautiful Church and, as we end in this report, we make another appeal for extra hands to help in the coming summer/autumn seasons. If you can manage as little as an hour per week, please let us know. We understand that the team often retires to the Black Swan to slake their thirsts with a well-earned beer or two at the end of their labours and they would dearly love two or three new or returning team members to join them.

Joan, Ted and Ann

Financial Summary for the year ending 31[st] December 2023

The Statement of Financial Activities, attached below, shows a surplus of £9053. However, we underpaid our Parish Share by £32000. If the Parish Share had been paid in full, we would be showing a deficit of £22947

Our investments increased by 12.5%, or £9341, to £83675

The following are comments on the differences between 2023 and 2022, as shown in note 2 ‘Incoming resources’ and note 3 ‘Resources expended’ in the full set of accounts

Incoming Resources (up by £4760)

Voluntary income, excluding grants £116500 (up £8260) – open plate collections and sundry donations up by £4360, planned giving up by £2900 (incl gift aid) and a legacy was received of £1000

We currently have 55 donors giving by direct debit in the Parish Giving Scheme (an increase of 20 in 2023), and a further 94 giving by standing order

Voluntary income (grants) – a grant of £950 was received from the Diocese towards energy costs
Activities for generating funds £12500 (£2000 less than 2022) – including Beer Festival £5500, Summer BBQ £1200, Quiz Night £700, Christmas Hampers £725, Curtains £730, 100 Club £168 and Music Circle £271. In addition, the Lunch Club donated £1600 and the Parish Council £750. The Flower Festival, which raised £4910 in 2022, is not held every year, so there is no corresponding income for 2023

Total income from church activities were similar to 2022, but fees for weddings and funerals were down £2500, and Chapter House lettings were up an encouraging £2500

Resources Expended (down £10800)

Parish Share paid £82551, underpaid by £32000
Energy costs £9550, £6300 higher than in 2022
Church maintenance £5600, up by £2000. This included the fee for a drainage survey of £846 and fees for two structural engineers reports of £912 and £570, mainly relating to the necessary corbel works
No major repairs & replacements for St Robert’s in 2023, but an architect’s bill for £500 relating to the repairs to the corbels, with the work being scheduled for 2024
Major Repairs and Replacements includes a net zero cost of repairs to the chancel roof, for which our Lay Rector has responsibility. The repairs cost £5330, and were reimbursed in full by the Lay Rector
Office and admin costs £12300, down £1000 – substantial savings have been made since purchasing the printer

- Safeguarding Report May 2024

“ Love does wrong to a neighbour : therefore love is the fulfilment of God’s law. “

Romans 13:10

Safeguarding is , and always must be, at the heart of our Christian faith. Jesus teaches us, as Christians , to care for each other, indeed we all have a duty and responsibility to do just that.

The clergy and PCC at St. Robert’s comply wholeheartedly with “ due regard “ to The House of Bishops’s guidance in relation to safeguarding. They are committed to promoting a safer, happy church environment and culture for everyone, an environment where everyone is valued and where everyone feels comfortable and safe. They strive constantly to raise awareness around safeguarding through policy, reporting, understanding, training, education, address, drama and display to ensure that they deliver the very best safeguarding practice that is fit for purpose within our church communities today.

The PCC meets 6 times a year where safeguarding is ALWAYS an item on the meeting agenda. The Parish Safeguarding Officer ( P.S.O. ) presents a safeguarding update and action plan for each meeting to ensure we work as a church within the Church of England’s strict safeguarding governance and guidelines. The clergy and PCC recruit safely and support all volunteers who have responsibilities relating to children and vulnerable adults in church, pastorally at home and within our wider church communities in 3 care homes. At St. Robert’s the understanding and commitment to fulfil all the required and mandatory diocesan safeguarding regulations have been exemplary. To date 123 required and preferred safeguarding training courses have been completed to the appropriate levels. These are repeated every 3 years and the first of these began earlier this year. I am very happy to report that this year there have been no safeguarding concerns or allegations raised within our parish.

If you would like to understand more about safeguarding a short online course is

available to everyone within our church community. If you are interested in this or for further safeguarding information please contact either :

Jane Newsome ( P.S.O.) 07803601112 / 01423 873398 or

John Smith ( Vicar ) 01423 391514

All contact details for safeguarding topics and the

Church of England’s safeguarding policy are displayed on the safeguarding noticeboard at church.

We are blessed here at St. Robert’s with a loving, happy and caring church family but please

remember :

SAFEGUARDING IS EVERYONE’S RESPONSIBILITY

Jesus said :

“ I give you a new commandment : love one another.

Just as I have loved you , you must also love one another “

John 13:24

If in doubt remember the 3Rs of safeguarding :

RECOGNISE , RESPOND , REPORT.

Yours in fellowship,

Jane Newsome ( P.S.O. )

Deanery Synod Report

Harrogate Deanery is one of six Deaneries in the Ripon Episcopal area of the Anglican Diocese of Leeds. Its role is to serve the work of Church of England parishes (one of which is our parish) and Chaplaincies in Harrogate, Knaresborough, Starbeck and Wetherby and surrounding villages.

The first Synod of 2023 was in April. The focus was support to families, young people and children developing in faith and in helping the church to grow a new generation of congregation by; facilitating discussions, workshops, providing practical support and keeping up to date with resources and research. The pandemic has challenged church attendance as many had got ‘out of the habit’ of attending. The church has to think about being relevant. The ‘Growing Faith Foundation’s’ aim is to bring together church, home and school (the main areas to encounter Christ) for faith to grow in young people and children. The key to this principal is good planning and being intentional in making it happen. In July, the synod was held at St Peters, Harrogate. This celebrated the diversity of the congregation and many had provided food from their own countries including Afghanistan, Bosnia, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Japan, Middle East, Norway, Peru, Switzerland and Ukraine. It was great to sample and mingle with other synod members. The meeting ended with a Eucharist. It was a fun evening.

In September we met at Birstwith where the guest speaker was from ‘Wellsprings Together’ which works with the Leeds Diocese to support churches to make a difference within their communities. The team are specialized in parish-based community engagement and supporting churches to take the next step in social action. Information and advice is offered as well as financial guidance. The projects are to be seen as social action and not evangelism with short term aims such as IT strategy or building an extension.

In November, the Synod was held at St Andrew’s Starbeck, the guest speaker was the Rt Revd Nick Baines. He discussed his faith journey starting as a Baptist in a culture where all

the answers were given and there was no space to think for yourself. He wasn’t welcomed by the Baptist church at university so went to an Anglican church where he felt treated as an adult and the preacher didn’t tell him what to think and enabled him to ask questions. He spoke about the vocation of the Anglican church, where parishes have a legal responsibility to support all who live within the boundaries no matter whether they are Christian or not. For example, when looking for a new Vicar, the people of the parish should be the focus not just the congregation. We should be ‘Kenotic’ emptying ourselves for the good of others. We have a convening role to broker difficult conversations and steer what will work for the common good. We should be proud to be Anglican.
