Parochial Church Council of St Peter ad Vincula, Wisborough Green Registered Charity no. 1133950
Trustees Annual Report for 2022
Structure, Governance and Management
The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is registered with the Charity Commission as required by the Charities Act 2011. Its governing document is the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956.
Membership of the PCC is determined under the Church Representation Rules and consists of certain Ex officio members, the Churchwardens and members of the Deanery or General Synods together with members of the church who are elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM). Members of the congregation are warmly encouraged to stand for election to the PCC and an attempt is made to ensure a balance of skills and experience where possible.
The primary objective of St Peter’s PCC is the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, the Rev Clive Jenkins, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.
The PCC oversees the general financial dimension of the work of St Peter’s by monitoring income and expenditure, budgeting, maintaining appropriate financial controls and coordinating the annual Christian Stewardship review of donations through planned giving.
The Standing and Finance Committee is made up of the Incumbent, the Churchwardens, the PCC Secretary and Treasurer. It meets between meetings of the PCC and sets the agenda for the next full PCC meeting. It has the power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the Council.
During the year, the following served as members of the PCC:
EX OFFICIO MEMBERS: The Reverend Clive Jenkins Incumbent and PCC Chairman Mr Richard Parish Churchwarden Mrs. Henrietta Warwick Churchwarden
ELECTED MEMBERS (and responsibilities):
Mrs. Sue Nicholls PCC Secretary Mr. Jamie Daniell Treasurer and Deanery Synod Member Ms. Rosemary Crafter Electoral Roll Officer / Safeguarding Mr Chris Harris Graveyard Records Mr David Roberts Church Cleaning Mrs. Marion Jenkins Deanery Synod Member Mrs. Tricia Howarth No designated responsibility
Aspects of Church Life at St Peter’s
1
• Prayer:
Individual and corporate spirituality through prayer groups, quiet mornings, intercessions, retreats, and a weekly parish prayer meeting which specifically prays for the life and work of all at St Peter’s are encouraged. During 2022 these activities were continued, and a prayer focus meeting took place occasionally.
• Worship:
The worship environment and range of services offered is reviewed at intervals, together with an exploration of the liturgical and musical resources, traditional and modern, available. In 2022, the pattern of worship, included Sung Communion, All Age Communion and Time for God. Joint services, ‘Together at Ten’, took place when there was a 5[th] Sunday in the month and on other occasions, at St Peter ad Vincula Wisborough Green, St John the Baptist, Kirdford and Holy Trinity, Plaistow in turn.
• Christian Education:
Through the promotion of daily bible study guides and house study groups, which meet regularly throughout the year, church members are encouraged to grow in faith. The activities of house study groups continued in 2022.
• Christian Stewardship:
The teaching and impetus about Christian giving and stewardship of our time and talents, as well as our money is maintained. All are regarded as a trust from God to be utilised in his service. Focus is put on requesting a review of such giving and encouraging new members to give as appropriate. Those who already do so, on a regular basis are acknowledged with grateful thanks. The opportunities for giving have been extended through the use of a card reader, allowing contactless payments to be made whenever the Church building is open.
• Young People:
Every opportunity is sought for children and young people to learn and experience Christian life, fellowship and worship through the Time for God service and special family services at Christmas and Easter. There is a strong link with the local primary school which is encouraged to visit the church and hold major festival services there for all the children during term-time. ‘Wizzy Tots’, the mothers and toddlers’ group, has continued to be popular and meets regularly in Church on Thursday mornings. ‘Messy Church’ took place at St Peter’s in July and October and in Kirdford Village Hall at Christmas.
• Pastoral Care:
Pastoral care and friendship is offered to those who are housebound or otherwise in need. Newcomers to the village are welcomed and issued with a booklet containing useful information and contact details. A village car and library service is available for those who require it. The village car service resumed during 2022.
• St. Peter’s Mission Team
There is a focus on mission both in the UK and the wider world, and in 2022 a number of charitable causes were supported ranging from local to international, including the Triple Mission charities - Diocesan Family Support Work, Youth with a Mission in Uganda and CMS.
• Social Development:
An attempt is made to develop an enhanced sense of fellowship both within the church community and the village through the organization of a range of social activities. During 2022 Xpresso, the Friday Coffee Morning in Church did not close during school holidays and was very popular, also the Village Lunch was reinstated. Monthly Film Nights – ‘Movies with a Message’ began again in the autumn.

General Review of the Year
The Annual Parochial Church Meeting was held on Sunday 24[th] April.
Mr Richard Parish and Mrs. Henrietta Warwick were re-elected as Churchwardens. The Churchwardens met with the Incumbent regularly throughout the year.
Standing and Finance Committee meetings as well as full PCC meetings were held regularly throughout the year. One meeting was held on Zoom.
Church finances continued to be closely monitored and for this, thanks are extended to PCC Treasurer, Mr. Jamie Daniell. Mrs. Zoe Hall, a professional bookkeeper who was employed during 2019, continued her duties as a financial assistant. The annual accounts, audited by Mr Chris Edwards, together with the Annual Financial Report for 2022 appear elsewhere in this booklet.
It is important to note that the ministry within and beyond St Peter’s is a shared enterprise and as such, there are many people who are actively involved – too many to mention by name. Mrs. Sue Nicholls was reelected as the PCC Secretary and thanks go to her as well as to all the members of the PCC and everyone who shares in the ministry of St Peter’s, great or small, as together we discern God’s call to us in the service of his Kingdom.
In 2022 there were 93 parishioners on the church electoral roll.
Services
The average weekly attendance in 2022 at services was 53 adults (16+) and 6 children.
Mention has already been made of the ‘Together at Ten’ joint services, which have been held at St Peter ad Vincula Wisborough Green, St John the Baptist, Kirdford and Holy Trinity, Plaistow when there has been a 5[th] Sunday in the month.
Thanks are due to Director of Music, John Vinall, David Warwick, Gill Parish, members of the Choir and the Music Group’s instrumentalists for the work they put in to making sure our services are so enriched by music at St Peter’s.
Rather than the traditional house to house collections made in previous years in Christian Aid week, due to its success last year a Christian Aid Breakfast (Big Brekkie) was held in Church during our weekly coffee morning, Xpresso on Friday 20[th] May.
A very successful evening concert by the Farlingtonic Choir with instrumentalists and singers from Farlington school was held on Wednesday 29[th] June in the Church, raising considerable funds for the Triple Mission. Thanks are due to those who organised the event and to the many who supported it.
At the Village Fete on August Bank Holiday Monday 2022 we were able to have a stall promoting some of the activities of St Peter’s.
Holy Week and Easter saw us join with our friends from Kirdford and Plaistow as we had a Passover Meal in Holy Trinity Church, Plaistow and shared Good Friday and Easter across the different churches. A Harvest Service was held on Sunday 25[th] September with food bank harvest gifts going to Diocesan Family Support Work. The previous evening John Vinall organised a concert, and a ploughman’s supper was prepared for all those in attendance.
Christmas included our Traditional Carol Service and All-Age Nativity Service on Christmas Eve with many attending both these services and on Christmas morning.
2022 was the year when we celebrated Her Majesty the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with the Church and grounds beautifully decorated with red, white and blue flowers and colourful bunting. We showed on the
3
big screen in Church the national events that were televised and also drew the celebrations to a conclusion with a Thanksgiving Service on 5[th] June. Sadly, the Queen died on 8[th] September 2022 and a Book of Condolence was available for parishioners to sign in Church during this period. The bell ringers who had celebrated the Jubilee, now muffled the bells, and gave a fitting tribute to Her Majesty’s long and faithful service to the Church, the Nation and the Commonwealth.
