Parish of Ipsley - Treasurer’s Report 2020

As we are all aware, 2020 was seriously affected by Covid lockdown. With churches closed for such long periods, income was limited in the areas of loose plate giving and lettings of Church and Church Halls. DCC Treasurers and were able to mitigate these reductions by:

Expenditure

Funds

Overall, Closing Funds at £263.7K are £9.3K up on prior year, an excellent result in these trying circumstances and affording a positive outlook on the year ahead.

General Comment

As always, we do need to address Giving levels. The Parish Giving Scheme is now proving itself as a means of delivering finances and cash flow gains, in both membership giving and gift aid claims.

There is now only a small element of Envelope Scheme giving in all 3 churches.

Closing the year with funds at the level reported enables the Parish to move forward in 2021, able to fund projects and support the wider community as we (hopefully) come out of lockdown,

St. Peter’s, Ipsley - Church Warden’s Report

2020 started out like most years here at St Peters, with a program of events planned. But as you are all aware, this came to a sudden halt mid- March 2020, when in less than a

Page 3

week we were compelled to shut the church due to the Corona Virus pandemic and all activities halted! The church office was closed and our administrator working from home.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Canon Revd Garth Nathaniel for his enthusiasm, commitment, hard work, and dedication during the year. It has not been an easy year for him, and other clergy, as new ways of ministering and pastoral care have had to be implemented. Many hours on Zoom. Social media skills have had to be acquired as we started to record services from our homes for streaming on YouTube. Many thanks to the leaders and speakers and everyone taking part in these services.

In August we opened for private prayer and in September commenced public worship under the new protocols of social distancing etc.

Prior to closing in March, we were halfway through the Lent studies and families@4 had started to take off well.

At the later part of the year when it was confirmed that we could re-open we continued with the Youtube online service but held a 3pm in person service every Sunday. We were pleased to welcome church family and some new faces at these services. Other services included socially distanced in person Harvest Festival, Service of Lament, remembrance and hope, Outreach Carol service held outside, The Blue Christmas service and the Midnight communion.

It was in June when we heard of the death of David Hargreaves, one of our Licensed Lay Ministers, he is sadly missed.

Early in the year a new kitchen was fitted in the church centre. Most of the maintenance jobs have been completed or are in hand waiting for the better weather. A thank you to Charles, Phil and the building management committee for their work with this.

Things do seem very different; however, we press on in the knowledge that we serve our Lord through the ministry and work at this church.

St John’s, Greenlands report

Church

As we now know, 2020 turned out to be a year we won’t forget! The year at St John’s got off to a great start with our usual range of activities such as regular Sunday services, the monthly Tea Service, plus all the weekly activities that took place in the church hall. We had even got so far as to book a church day out at The Pioneer Centre in June! In March we managed to squeeze in a visiting speaker from Open Doors, and this was the last service for a while before we had to close the church.

Page 4

We quickly drew up a Pastoral Care Plan where we put each member of the church family into a support group, with the aim of keeping in touch and ‘looking out for each other’ through phone calls, emails, and text messages.

Meanwhile the Holy Trinity team had set up weekly ‘live stream’ Sunday services which many of us enjoyed watching, often at a time of our choice! However, it wasn’t long before Rosie and Barry had discovered the new world of ‘Zoom’, and by May, those of who were able, participated in a weekly ‘live and interactive’ family worship service on zoom, which has continued ever since. These services are led by a team of ‘worship leaders’ (Mike, Rosie, Rob, Vicki and Amanda), with Barry operating the technology from home. In recent months more of us have begun to master the art of zoom technology and the ability to ‘screen share’ with others.

By September, Covid cases were decreasing enough to be able to reopen church for ‘in person’ services. (Risk assessments, hand sanitiser, face masks and social distancing quickly became the order of the day!) It was wonderful to see faces that we hadn’t seen for so many months. We adopted a Hybrid model of worship, so that people who wanted to stay at home could access the service on zoom. We continued with the same ‘family worship’ format, except for once a month when the service was led by Rev Paul Lawlor. During the autumn we celebrated St John’s 30th birthday, and we were delighted to welcome Dot and Andy Bevington on zoom to share their memories of those exciting times in the life of our church. Harvest and Christmas services (including a brilliant and entertaining Nativity!) were all successful parts of our Hybrid worship.

Alongside Sunday services, our regular Thursday morning Prayer and Bible study continued throughout the year on zoom, with a small group of people meeting to share God’s word and pray together, led by Paul Lawlor. We enjoyed some interesting discussions, and during the March lock down our numbers grew significantly.

DCC and planning meetings were conducted online via zoom from March onwards.

At the start of the year, some of our young people took part in an inter church youth Alpha at St Laurence church in Alvechurch, and this continued online until the summer, led by Rev Francis Moloney.

The children of our church family have been an integral part of our services throughout the year, with some highly creative activities being organised by service leaders.

We continued our ‘pastoral care’ provision during the year, with flowers, cards, and sometimes meals, being delivered to people who were going through challenging times.

Church Hall

In September, we reopened the church hall for Kumon tuition, Razzle Dazzle and ‘Sweat Now, Shine Later’ classes. We are grateful to Chris Humphrey for cleaning the hall so thoroughly to ensure it was always ‘Covid secure’ during the autumn period.

Building and Ground Maintenance

A small team of volunteers continued to look after the church and its grounds throughout the year. This involved such jobs as keeping the lawns mowed, gardens weeded and

Page 5

building clean. Additional maintenance jobs included supervising regular fire safety checks and painting the church hall foyer, which looks very smart.

Social

In November we held The Big Quiz online, with proceeds going to support Tearfund. The evening got off to a good start with most participants wearing a silly hat, and it was all great fun. Best of all, we raised a whopping £332 for Tearfund through the online platform ‘Just Giving’.

Conclusion

Despite the restrictions brought on us by the Covid pandemic, 2020 proved to be another busy year at St John’s! A huge ‘Thank You’ to all those people who gave their time, energy and commitment to our wonderful church family and building during this time.

Amanda Worley (Church Warden)

Christ Church, Matchborough Report

Health and Safety

The main focus in regards to health and safety has been to ensure the mitigation of the spread of Covid-19. The only group hiring either building during this period has been the nursery and they have ensured that rigorous control measures are in place to reduce the risk of active Covid-19 cases and its spread. As a result of the church building being closed there are no accidents, incidents or near misses to report.

Children’s Work

At the beginning of 2020 Junior Church was running in two groups. Age 3 to School year Reception & school years 1-6, using Scripture Union resources. When Church reopened in late August, craft packs were put together for the children to tie in with the All-Age Video. We finished our Spring Term at Cool Zone before lockdown with eight regular members. Two members were presented with books in July as they became Youth Group age. Just before Christmas we delivered a goody bag to each member containing confectionery, craft and a Bible Society booklet. Sparklers, our fortnightly group for pre-school children and their parents/carers was only able to meet on 5 Fridays until prevented by pandemic restrictions. Sparklers on Facebook has links to family friendly Bible videos.

Youth Work

Because of Lockdowns, the Youth Group had to shut up shop for a long time. Once the restrictions were partially lifted in the Summer, they could meet in groups of six as allowed from September. However, from November the meetings had to be switched to Social Media because of another Lockdown. There was a special focus at Christmas when Father Christmas delivered a gift to each regular member.

A Year like no other

2020 began with Christ Church, in vacancy, joining in the Open Conversations with others across the Diocese as we considered the financial and ministerial challenges facing us all,

Page 6

in the context of developing healthy and sustainable churches in the communities in which we are set.

Not enough Clergy to go round, not enough money being paid in Parish Share. God is good.

We wondered what that would mean for Matchborough? All the time God is good.

Church activities continued, as above.

Rev Ian assumed responsibility for organising rotas and ensured there was always a minister to lead worship and a theme to preach, as well as topics for Support Groups.

Activities set up by the Community Missioner were becoming established: Walking Football, Coffee Drop In, Walking group.

Lunch Club members enjoyed various crafts, delicious meals, and a trip to Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, thanks to loyal volunteers.

Kindergym was attracting greater numbers, and two Slimming World groups were hiring the Church.

And the Archdeacon had a good idea. There were insufficient funds to support a full-time vicar in Christ Church, but the diocese would fund a permanent Community Missioner and license Rev Ian as self-supporting part-time vicar. Thanks be to God, Rev Ian was willing, and he was later interviewed for the post.

Then Covid-19 struck, closing our buildings.

Risk Assessments were prepared as we strove to comply with Church of England guidance and Government regulation.

But the Church was alive. Each week there has been an opportunity to worship and reflect through our emailed ‘20 Minutes with God’, faithfully produced by Rev Ian. And an opportunity for corporate prayer on Zoom on Tuesdays or by use of the prayer email.

All church members were linked to someone who would keep a pastoral eye on them. Those in Lunch Club have regular phone calls from one of the leaders and received mince pies at Christmas, as well as a beautiful magazine style copy of the gospel, donated by Gideons, all delivered by volunteers.

Ladies’ Prayer moved to WhatsApp and Zoom; Support Groups met on Zoom; Open Door migrated to Tuesday and Thursday sessions on Zoom.

The cleaner was furloughed, but returned when Nursery restarted in June, and has been most willing to work with us in changing his hours to comply with Covid Cleaning.

Worship in the church building resumed - masked, sanitised and socially distanced - at the end of August, for those who booked a place - but the 20 Minutes with God emails continue.

The building was again closed for worship in the November lockdown, thankfully open again in December; and the Bishop of Dudley was able to come and license Rev. Ian as

Part-time, non-stipendiary Team Vicar with responsibility for Christ Church in a lovely service that was streamed out on Zoom too. Although Christingle could not go ahead as usual, Nursery children were given oranges, candles and packets of sweets with explanations and instructions for making their own.

The birth of our Saviour was celebrated in church and in homes.

Open the book

Schools were among the first to implement Covid-19 precautions, so we were unable to present Open the Book even before the National Lockdown. Team Leaders endeavoured to keep in touch with their school.

The Head of Woodrow First said he would be nominating the OTB team for Oscars in the Short Films category after they were sent a recorded Christmas story.

St Thomas More have always been supported pastorally by the Catholic church and were not keen to use YouTube recordings.

The headteacher from Tenacres has been in touch with Jenny every week sharing the challenges they were facing. It turned out to be a wonderful time of prayer. The headteacher sent Open the Book links out during lockdown and reported that whole families were watching, not only the children.

Matchborough First were also sent links to the Bible Society OTB videos, which were well received and shown in classes.

Two or three Storytellers have felt it time to stop, and of course David Hargreaves will be sadly missed. His portrayal of the death of Goliath will never be forgotten!

Thanks to those who gave freely of time and talent, those who covered OTB in prayer, those who provided props, and especially to the Lord who graciously enabled and blessed the sharing of his story. To him be glory.

Messy Church

We began lockdown by preparing monthly Messy Church ‘at Home’ sessions which we publicised in the various newsletters of the churches in the parish and on our Woodrow Messy Church Facebook page for families to use as and when they wished.

Each month was based around a theme and contained links to an online video story, song, and a range of activities, all of which were already freely available on a range of internet sites. This enabled families to continue with a Messy Church style of fun and learning remotely.

During this process we communicated by email to maintain the collaborative approach to planning which is essential.

As time went by it became clear that a return to Messy Church face to face was going to be a long time in the future because activities such as talking and sitting closely together

Page 8

around tables, sharing craft resources, eating together, socialising, and singing in worship were all impossible in a Covid-secure world and yet all are essential features of Messy Church face to face.

Fortunately, Andrea Stevens had the vision of creating a monthly Messy Church online via Zoom and trained us to meet monthly for planning together and then meeting together on the second Saturday of each month as has always been our pattern.

This has had the advantages of enabling a larger group from St Peter’s, St John’s and Christ Church to meet together for planning than was previously possible, greater opportunities for people to prepare and lead an activity and has restored an element of personal interaction for prayer and conversation and fun – all of which are essential features of the Messy Church experience. The team has been brilliant – committed, faithful and mutually supportive at all times.

Online Messy Church Zoom meetings have continued to be based around a theme and include a shared story, quizzes, things to do and then show, a thought and prayers and have been sometimes chaotic but always fun, for all ages and with lots of laughter – in fact very like Messy Church but without the food (though of course some people have been able to finish their breakfast whilst participating!).

Inevitably some, but not all, families from our Woodrow Messy Church have joined in with this though we have delivered Advent Calendars with story and stickers and Easter Activity booklets to all the families on our mailing list. However, some other families (and a rabbit!) with church or personal or family links have joined the meetings and members of the planning group have developed their skills and expertise in a range of ways.

As has been the case with so much of last year, it is Messy Church but not as we knew it and it remains uncertain as to how we will move forward.

We thank God for his guidance in this. Please pray that we will know His leading for the future and for the families who used to come to Messy Church but have been unable to do so in recent months.

Deanery Synod Report

The first meeting of the year was at St John’s, Greenlands, and began with Holy Communion. The recent conversations about the proposed changes to the Deanery Structure within the Diocese were reviewed. Members of the Synod were encouraged to go online and read the summary of the conversations.

Small groups grappled with difficult questions such as:-

Page 9

This was scheduled as the last synod of the triennium and members were thanked for their contributions and support.

Our June meeting was held on Zoom and began with the sad news of the unexpected death of our Lay Chair and friend, David Hargreaves.

Due to the pandemic AGM’s had not been able to take place and everyone one remained in post and were welcomed back to the longest ever triennium.

Members were reminded that when it was possible to hold church AGM’s and form a new Synod, we would need to appoint a Lay Chair, Secretary (currently Rosemary Sumner) and Treasurer.

An update was given on the reorganisation of Deaneries. Indications were that the new Deanery would largely consist of the current Bromsgrove Deanery, with the addition of a few more parishes.

Information was provided for churches wishing to open for private prayer and signposting was provided to to the current government guidelines.

An update was also provided on payments towards parish share.

The October meeting began with prayers reflecting on the recent report into safeguarding failures within the Church of England.

As it really was expected to be the last meeting of both the current membership of the Deanery Synod and the Synod in its current form, Rosemary Sumer provided an insightful review of her time at Synod over the last 20 years, serving under seven Rural Deans with different gifts and interests.

In break out rooms, members of the Synod reflected on the following:-

The Synod was updated on how the Covid-19 crisis had affected giving.

The Synod closed for the final time with prayer and thanks to those who had attended.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1. ACCOUNTINGPOLICIES

Accounting convention

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102 Section 1A, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the UK and Republic of Ireland, the Charities Act 2011 and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included on the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

Resources expended

The diocesan parish share is accounted for when paid. Any parish share unpaid at the year end is provided for in these accounts as an operational liability.

Other expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Freehold property not provided Plant and machinery 10 -20% on cost

Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the accounts by section 10 of the Charities Act 2011.

Moveable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC, and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted as inalienable property unless consecrated. For inalienable property acquired prior to 2001 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the accounts.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
