## **Curate’s report** 

## **From the Curate—Rev Dave Pilkington** 

It has been a stretching time to be a curate. Lockdown has meant we have spent much time online and learning to host services on my own in an   empty Church presented some interesting challenges. In September it was a privilege to be able to go on retreat with  other Curates before being Priested by Bishop Joanne. 

Shortly after that, James announced he was leaving and life got a whole lot busier as I had more to juggle, being the only full-time member of clergy at St Paul’s. I have had to learn the realities of what can be achieved. However I have been incredibly grateful for the  support of the Church and the staff team. It is a privilege to serve alongside  April and Billy and I continue to benefit from their experience and wisdom. It has been great to see         people stepping up and taking responsibility and I have been particularly grateful for support with broadcasting services from Louis and Tim. 

Although challenging, it has been an exciting part to be part of St Paul’s and I am very much looking forward to working alongside the Vicar once they are appointed.

## **From the Churchwardens—Neil Gilbert & Fiona Lowther** 

In last year’s report we said that our wonderful staff team had risen to the challenge of the last few months. Little did we know that it was just a taste of things to come... 

We are so grateful to our team for the flexibility they’ve shown in providing a safe environment and continually adapting to the difficult year we’ve had. This of course includes making church services safe (when we’ve been able to hold them in person) but also making sure our other building users have been accommodated in a safe way. 

We’re delighted to report that the team have been able to look to the future thanks to the grant from the Lottery Fund that is helping us to prepare for a post-COVID environment. We’re hugely excited about the changes we’ll all be able to see that will make our building safer and more flexible. 

We are also very sorry to see Karen leave as our long-standing venue manager. It’s almost impossible to imagine St Paul’s without Karen and we are incredibly grateful to her for everything she’s done for us and wish her all the best for the future. We’re delighted to announce that Divya will be stepping up to replace Karen in this role from June 2021. 



## **Welcome and hospitality** 


## **From the Premises Manager—Karen Diss** 

Although 2020 was a very strange year with Covid restrictions and lockdowns interrupting much of our normal work, we have managed to continue with welcoming visitors to the church when we could and always following ever-changing government guidelines re-Covid safety. Staff worked very hard to get the café space ready to re-open following the first lockdown and again in September. In October we responded very quickly to join in the nationwide initiative to feed families in need during the half-term holiday with Christine and her team of volunteers managing to prepare 178 meals for takeaway at extremely short notice, helped by donations from the congregation and local businesses. 

Although the new year began during lockdown, there have been plenty of changes taking place. Karen is leaving (but not retiring!), Divya will be the new manager. A new Front of House Coordinator will be recruited. We received a Cultural Recovery Fund grant for restoration and repairs to the building, enabling us to carry out some work to the buttresses and the damaged pillars and cills along the south wall. The sum received is also allowing us to make improvements to the kitchen, enabling us to replace the dated cooker and extractor fan. We are excited to have a modernised kitchen to utilise for our Café and for hirers to book.

## **PCC Report** 


## **PCC Report – by Ceri Durham (lay vice-chair)** 

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is the leadership committee for the church and during the vacancy period (whilst we have no appointed vicar) takes on an even more important role to oversee the formal running and governance of the church, and also to be part of process of appointing the new vicar alongside the Church Patrons and the Bishop of Stepney. This means that this year we have been especially busy. Tim Murray and I were chosen by the PCC as the Parish Representatives which means we will take part in the shortlisting and interview process for the appointment. We also have finalised a ‘Parish Profile’ which tells prospective candidates about us. All being well, this should mean that this time next year, the PCC section is written by the new vicar who will be chairing our meetings and helping us shape the new vision for our church. 

As reported in last year’s report, since lockdown the PCC has been meeting mainly over Zoom. The full PCC has met six times in 2020. The Standing Committee (a small sub-group of the PCC concerned with making key decisions which cannot wait until the next full meeting) has met every fortnight since James’ departure and grappled with a variety of decisions ranging from the budget for the Heritage Lottery project to the cardreader for contactless donations at services and what the Government restrictions mean for us re-starting services. In pre-Covid times, the PCC meetings were usually combined with a ‘bring-and-share’ lunch after church on Sunday, and we definitely look forward with hopefulness to those days again. 

Thank you to everyone who has served and supported the PCC over this year, offering insights, leadership and wisdom for the good running of our church. We look forward to diversifying our membership and developing our PCC further in 2021 – and hopefully not only over Zoom!

## **Deanery Synod Report by Tim Murray** 

Like most other meetings, the Tower Hamlets deanery synod moved online in 2020. The group had several Zoom meetings throughout the year. Tracey Yewman remained one of our reps, and Tim Murray joined in the autumn. 

The deanery synod is a forum where clergy and lay reps from all Tower Hamlets churches meet to discuss and work together on different issues that we have in common. In the past year, among other things, the group has discussed the Stepney area’s new ‘Stepney Lives’ vision,  and talked about what churches are doing to help the problem of loneliness. 



## **Worship and prayer** 


**Pastoral Assistant Report -  by Anne Zakiewicz** I was commissioned as Pastoral Assistant here at St Paul’s in 2012. My work falls into 3 strands: 

- one of caring and visiting, and praying with people· 

- welcoming new people on Sundays before and after the services, and arranging occasional Welcome lunches after church on Sunday. These are an opportunity for new people to meet each other with a few members of the congregation over a relaxed and friendly meal. I also try to get to know people who come less frequently, who are less involved in church 

- Bible study groups, as one of the leaders, meeting in the church café on Wednesdays in the afternoon at 2.00pm and evening at 7.15pm. 

This year, during lockdown it has not been safe to visit some of our church family who are housebound , although I   sometimes have doorstep chats and take cake! Sadly,  hospital  visits have not been permitted, so texts and cards have had to take their place. Lots and lots of phone calls and walks in Victoria Park have helped me to keep in touch with people. 

**By Rev April Keech, Assisting priest** _**, (I work two weekdays and on Sundays at St Paul Old Ford)**_ 

At the beginning of the first lockdown, April through May 2020, I gathered a couple of people to help with a request from St Stephen’s medical surgery. We received over 60 names of people who were isolated or with serious health problems.  As their  relatives or  carers were not able to visit them, we called, shopped for groceries, picked up prescriptions and newspapers and made sure they knew they were not alone. Peter Kessler, Anne Zakiewicz, James, our vicar,  and some caring neighbours made up the team.  We continued  for about four weeks until the government engaged their social prescribers to carry on the work when  numbers went up to over one hundred. 

In addition to my work at St Paul’s, I am also Warden of the Pastoral Assistants in Stepney Deanery, and keep in touch with the 30 pastoral assistants working in the Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Islington churches. 

I am so grateful that as lockdown eases, I will be able to get back to visiting my church family in their own homes. 

While our pastoral team could not be in immediate contact able to get back to visiting my church family in with people, we created lists of people to call  regularly and the their own homes. team faithfully kept in touch with people by phone until we could begin to meet with people for walks or meetings in I continue to be a regular celebrant and preacher Victoria Park.  The brilliant team of Anne, Joy, Chris, Andrew, at Sunday services and have officiated at other pasDoris and Steve Beers (when he was out of hospital) kept in toral offices such as funerals; our beloved Ivy touch with our church folks and others who were alone or ill. Thomas’s funeral at the church being one of them. We  meet monthly as a team to pray for people in need and for Our last large community service with James inone another.  They continue to stay in touch with folks even as cluded two  Remembrance services.  As we moved the restrictions ease. Members of this team help with the into another lockdown, Anne, Fiona, and I packed Death Cafés which I have done for the last several years. These up 10 turkey dinners and pudding desserts for cafés  have been face-to-face meetings and latterly by zoom. those alone at Christmas. We have had people from a local men’s group,  bereaved folks As our mission partners Rob and Helen go off to from our church family,  and young adults from various parts of Nicaragua, I am their pastoral mentor and will be in London.  Participants come from different ethnic and religious touch with them each month. backgrounds and the feedback has been overwhelmingly Outside of St Paul Old Ford, I lead formation groups positive.  I have done two death cafés  for two other churches for St Mellitus’s _Beginning Theology_ course and as well. The Wednesday afternoon  Bible study lead by Anne mentor students there and those from the London and myself went on zoom this year and now combines zoom Centre for Spiritual Direction. and face-to-face participants! 



**Youth and children - by Jessica Lawrence** 

**Covid:** Youth Work is about building relationships with young people, supporting them through day-to-day life, teaching and learning with them and eating lots of pizza - for us at St Paul’s it is also about helping young people deepen their relationship with Christ. 

The past year has been tough for everyone, especially the young people and we had to figure out new and creative ways to work with our wonderful young people. We ran the St Paul Old Ford Youth Bake Off, games nights, virtual Bible Study, virtual and social distanced mentoring and countless text messages and calls. (Jessica even tried out Instagram Live and TikTok…it was laughable!). 


**Rise:** Rise has been on pause since the last lockdown. Previously we were doing our usual activities while socialdistancing. We had great discussions around race, the Black Lives Matters marches and how to cope with stress and worry. 

**Schools Work:** A new project for us has been our Lunch Clubs in Morpeth Secondary School. We run clubs twice a week for girls from year 7 - 11. We do craft, nail art, listen to music and chat about life. We are currently seeing 60 girls a week. 


mentoring a number of young people. Each mentoring programme is different ranging from walks in the park, sitdown discussions and small Bible studies. During Covid, mentoring has been our most consistent form of ministry. To be able to meet young people at such a difficult time has been encouraging and ensured that we could support them in the best and safest way possible. 

**Bible Study:** During the lockdowns we took our Youth Bible Study nights online. We explored the book of Ruth, Jonah and Jude. When we were allowed to form small support bubbles, the young people split into 2 groups of 5 for small Bible study sessions. We are now all back   together for Pizza and Bible Study! We are now going to take a deep dive into the book of Genesis. 

**Social Media followers** Instagram - 245 YouTube - 78 Facebook - 545 

**Sunday Group:** Our Sunday Group sessions were paused for a full year BUT we are now back together  again! We are currently taking a look at the Gospel of Mark. We have also welcomed three new young people into the group who have moved up from Sunday School! 

**London Diocese Youth Apprenticeship Programme:** A huge highlight for the youth work has been the addition of Debbie Mack to the team as our Youth Apprentice in September 2020. Debbie is completing a 3 year course in Theology in Ministry and Mission specifically looking at Youth Work. 



## **St Columba** 



## www.stcolumbaeastlondon.org 


## **Report by Rev Dave Pilkington** 

Last year was challenging for us all due to the global pandemic,    however God continued to move despite all the setbacks. In September the new barge, Genesis, arrived and the  St Columba community had a new home. After various items of snagging were completed, we finally managed to meet on board in October for a few weeks. It was wonderful to gather in person until lockdown hit again. The Community that meets online has continued to be committed and stories coming out have told of lives being changed and impacted by the group, which has been so encouraging.  When asking people how they find ‘the Journey’, our Thursday gathering we had these  responses: 

“I’ve found a sense of real belonging” “A space that doesn’t  force people to conform” “It has changed the way I want to be in the world” “It’s a place I can speak my truth without fear of being judged” 

It has been through open and honest discussion and hearing people’s stories that we  are finding greater levels of support and freedom. 

We continued to add to our numbers over lockdown and are hopeful to return to meeting together in person soon. 

Due to lockdown and James leaving, meaning Dave has had to undertake more responsibility at St Paul’s,  we have not been able to expand as we would have liked. However, we are excited about future plans when time permits, of adding another gathering  and developing a youth gathering to create a space for young people to meet and talk openly. Plans are in also in place develop regular retreats allowing people more space and time to engage with their journey. 




## **Finance and governance** 

## **Treasurer’s Report—by Mike Zakiewicz** 

Most churches in the past year, in the face of the lock down, have struggled to avoid going into deficit. We have been very blessed in that I hope to be able to report a surplus at least as large as the deficit I had to report last year. We have benefitted from a very  generous grant from the Heritage lottery Fund of £39,000 towards our general funds in order to help us through the financial difficulties we were facing. Our congregational  giving has been substantially reduced due to the church being closed and our hall hire letting income fell to a fraction of what it was before the lockdown, because it was simply not possible to have the church open. We have also benefitted substantially from the  Corona virus job retention scheme. Although we have been generous to our staff, in paying them their full wages while they have been on furlough, we have nevertheless been able to reclaim in most months 80% of the wages and this has provided us with an income of over £57,000 from the government, which has helped to offset the lack of income lettings and lack of income from the café. We have also been blessed by the fact that _Into University_ and the _Montessori Nursery_ that meets in St Marks Church have continued to pay their rent in full during the pandemic. _Ability Bow_ gym which had been a concern of our church, as they struggled to pay their rent, received a very substantial grant during the year which has meant that their rent arrears are now no worse than they were this time last year. We are hopeful that with God’s grace they will be able to pay back all their arrears of rent within the next year and a half. 

It is with regret that I am unable to show you accounts which have been approved by the Independent Examiner, but clearly, while we have all been asked not to travel and the Church has been shut, it has been very difficult to keep the accounting records up to date and properly reconciled. 

We have benefited from the _Heritage Lottery Fund Cultural Recovery Fund_ . This includes a grant of £98,000 to finance a range of projects including a kitchen refurbishment for our café, new audio visual equipment for the church, and buttress repairs. At the time of writing, these projects are in development. We are particularly excited about the kitchen refurbishment and welcoming the congregation and local community back to the café and church buildings. We are hopeful that the new audio visual equipment will provide us with the ability to stream online services in a more professional manner than we have been able to do before. This will hence capitalise on our much wider congregation as well as make our Church more attractive for those who may want to use our church building to put on other secular productions.

We continue to look outwards to our new congregation in the barge on the canal by _Near East_ . Although at the moment, this is not a financially beneficial arrangement to our church, we are able to provide training to our curate, Dave, who is spearheading the  project and reaching out to a part of our parish that is a long way from our main church at St Paul’s Old Ford.
