4*=• Kendal Methodist Circuit Superinfendent Minister: Rev Melanie Greenall 7 Bramble Close Kendal Cumbria LA9 6FF ANNUAL REPORT SEPTEMBER 2019 TO AUGUST 2020 Achievements The charity continues to work to 5UPPOrt the lrfe and mission of the Methodist Church in Kendal and surrounding area. We continue to build on our circuit Strategy'Priorwties forArtion' which was reviewed earlier in the year and subsequently has been discussed across our circuit churches. Following a staffing review, we entered the Stationing Proces5 for a new Superintendent for September 2020 and eventually were matched with Rev Melanie Greenall from the Lincolnshire District who was requested to leave her appointment a year early to take up this role. We employed an Anglican presbyter. Rev Tricia Rogers for one year from September 2019 to August 2020 to work in the Kendal section. supported by Revjeff Thomas. a Supernumerary Minister. This addition to the leadership team greatly enhanced the ecumenical work across all churches in Kendal. Peter Mccabe, agreed to continue in his lay pastor role for another year in the Kent Estuary section. Work across the circuit included Marriage & Relationship forums to discuss the 'God in Love Unites Us. report; regular safeguarding and GDPR training- circuit prayer meetings and the seeking new Circuit Stewards to ensure succession planning. As the pandemic struck and lockdown was imposed all circuit work moved online. Churches spearheaded support in their local communities supporting the vulnerable. Worship services developed online with home worship service sheets forthose without internet access and comprehensive pastoral programmes Plrt in place. The circuit leadership team monitored the financial position of the churches as many lost room rental income. In June 2020, a questionnaire was sent to all churches and congregations asking for comments on: l. What has been lost that we need to grieve? 2. What has stopped that we can let go of) 3. What has stopped that we need to work to renew? 4. What have we discovered that we need to respond to? 5. What IS Posltive, new, and emerging to be developed and re50urced? From this there developed a move to hybrid church with the continuation of online worship as well as physically meeting for worship as buildings re-opened in July. This was after extensive consultation with preachers as to whether they felt able to return. This work is set to continue.

KENDAL METHODIST CIRCUIT 201912020 Finance Year Summary for Circuit Meeting 22nd February 2021 As we all know, last yearwas a challenge for many Churches and their congregations, including Church finances which have suffered due to loss of rental income and forced many Churches to rely on their reserves to keep them going. At the Circuit level, we started the 2019/2020 finance year expecting to make a loss of around £6000 for the year due to staffing changes, and despite COVID we finished the year maintaining this position. While COVID has meant that our expenses such as travel costs have decreased, this has balanced out costs in excess of budget in manse maintenance (Quinquennial work at Arnside) which meant that we did not need to draw down any money from our Manse Maintenance fund. Overall, this has left our Gener31 and Manse Maintenance funds with healthy balances as we entered the 202012021 year. The 2019/2020 accounts have been examined by Mrs. Heidi Boardman, our Independent Examiner, who has signed the Notes to the Accounts, and on approval by the Church Council will sign the Standard Form of Accounts, Income and Expenditure Account and the Balance Sheet. Also included for approval are the Reserves Poliqi, and budget for 2021/2022 which keeps Church Assessments unchanged. The small shortfall predicted in 2021/2022 will be covered by the Circuit General Account. I would like to record my thanks to all our Church Treasurers for all the hard work they do in managing our Church finances. Nick Burd 6th February, 2021
