## **THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTIC PARISH OF LINTON IN CRAVEN Trustees Annual Report 2021** 

## **AIMS AND PURPOSES** 

The Linton PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent the Reverend David Macha in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole vision of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of St Michael and All Angels Linton Falls, St Peters Hebden and Church House and Church House Cottage, Grassington. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible, to worship at the churches and become part of the parish community. The PCC maintain an overview of worship throughout the parish and suggest how services can be made more welcoming and relevant to all age groups in the parish, including visitors to the area and new residents. Services and worship help put faith into practice through prayer, scripture, music and sacrament. Openness to all enables the development of relationships with and service of all parts of the local community. 

When planning ahead the PCC have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit 

and advancement of religion. We try to enable people to live out their faith as part of the parish community through worship and prayer, hearing about the gospel, developing knowledge and trust in Jesus, pastoral care for people living in the parish and missionary and outreach work, creating more opportunities for growth, encompassing all ages across the parish. In order to facilitate this work, it is important that we insure and maintain the fabric of St Michaels, St Peters and Church House. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Worship and prayer** 

The PCC are keen to offer a range of services during each month and over the course of the year which appeal to the varied types of parishioners in the community so all may find services beneficial and spiritually fulfilling for them. The normal pattern of worship when the churches 

’ were open include the Sunday morning Communion or Morning Prayer services at St Michael s at 11.00 am, which enables the incumbent to take earlier services at the one of the other churches, in the Benefice (which also includes the parishes of Burnsall and Rylstone) on the same mornings. The congregation always remain at church long after the service has finished to enjoy fellowship and encourage one another. 

All are welcome to attend regular services as well as the special services for the annual events of the church calendar, which are Family Praise services held at St Michael’s involving more 



outgoing and lively worship. The leadership base continues to widen for these services, with deep integrity which attracts many. A variety of music plays an important role. Wednesday morning at 10am a Simple Prayer and Holy Communion service is held in Church House jointly with the Methodists and is a truly ecumenical mid-week gathering. 

Wednesday evening 6 pm a service of Music Stillness and Prayer is held at Fountaine’s Chapel 

Linton providing a quiet contemplative time. Volunteers help with the services from Scargill, Yorkshire Camps, retired clergy and Methodists. 

The PCC works in conjunction with the PCC’s of Burnsall and Rylstone, and co-ordinates with them to have a pattern of services across the three parishes. 

The Benefice of Linton and the Benefice of Burnsall with Rylstone in the Diocese of Leeds were united to create a new Benefice named The Benefice of Linton, Burnsall and Rylstone on the 29[th] October 2019 and the area of the new benefice comprises the Parish of Linton, the Parish of Burnsall and the Parish of Rylstone. The individual parishes remain sovereign and have control of their own finances, but this agreement has shown commitment to working together into the future as a united benefice with one boundary and shared ministry provision. 

The Licensed Lay Minister Cath Currier and members of the Laity lead non-Eucharist and family services. On the months when there are five Sundays, the fifth Sunday is a combined Holy Communion Service at different churches in the benefice. 

The Good Friday joint parishes walk from St Peter’s Rylstone to Rylstone Cross and service at 

the top of the hill is well attended by parishioners and local families. During Grassington Festival in June a joint service is held in Grassington Town Hall and on the two Sundays in December, when the Dickensian Weekends are held in Grassington, the morning services are held in Church House which attract visitors who join in and sing carols outside afterwards . 

Special arrangements are made when Baptisms take place during Communion Services for 

welcoming the families who do not usually attend church. ‘Stop and Reflect’ baptism booklets 

have been produced for parents who are thinking about baptism, which have been well received. Service sheets including the words of the hymns and songs are printed each week which reduces the number of books and booklets the participants have to refer to which makes the services easier to follow. 

Harvest festival is held at St Michaels, as is a Special Lives service of personal remembrance, and the annual the Parish Service of Remembrance in November. 

The St Michael's parish prayer is used regularly in services and printed in the new services booklets. 

The Annual Meeting of Parishioners and the Annual Parochial Church Meeting were held on Sunday 23 May 2021, when 20 parishioners were present. There were 65 parishioners, on the Electoral Roll with an average weekly attendance, which dropped understandably, of 25 when services were allowed to take place but this number increases significantly at festivals and special services throughout the year. 

In addition, we enable the community to thank God at the milestones of the journey of life; at Baptisms we thank God for the gift of life; in marriage services public vows are exchanged with God’s blessing and in funeral services thanks are given for the life completed, friends and family 

can express their grief and commend the person into God’s keeping. 



’ ’ 4 baptism of infants, 6 weddings and 18 funerals were held in the year at St Michael s, St Peter s and the crematorium in Skipton, including 8 with burial services, 4 funerals with cremation, 1 graveside funeral service, 1 burial only, 2 funeral service only at St Peter’s, 3 funerals at Crematorium and 12 interment of ashes (2 at St Peter’s). 

## **During the Covid 19 pandemic** 

The closing of church buildings as part of the lockdown measures to limit the spread of Covid-19 changed worship plans and experience. The church embraced new ways of worshipping and gathering for fellowship. Weekly pre-recorded online services allowed more people to participate in worship and to regularly hear God’s word. Through the images and videos which were all filmed in the open landscape of Wharfedale; those who were confined, found they were able to enjoy the freedom to celebrate God’s creation. The pattern of daily reflections shared by email in 

the pandemic is still continuing, Facebook posts and the Benefice website. Also people could communicate by the daily email drop using mailchimp. In these ways the reach of the church expanded and developed, which has been greatly appreciated by the parishioners in their homes and many more people online who do not usually attend church. 

Individuals were able to share in the ministry by recording singing, reading and writing. Family resources were also available online for the young. 

St Michael’s was closed again for the first two months of the year, then re-opened when allowed 

for services of Morning Prayer each week without singing. Subsequently Communion services were held without wine, strictly in accordance with Covid safety guidelines. 

## **Deanery Synod** 

One member of the PCC sits on the Skipton Deanery Synod linking the parish to the wider church. The representative reports back to the PCC the contents of the meetings. 

## **St Michaels** 

The Church was opened again to the public every day from the summer thanks to a rota of parishioners who lock and unlock daily. The buildings are generally in a sound condition. There had been some water damage and mouse infestation during the lockdown. The Scheme for the renewal of the kitchen and toilet with disabled access is still on going, surveys regarding flood risk, bats and archaeology have been carried out and will be subject to Yorkshire Dales National Park approval. The funding has been set aside for this project but some further fund raising will be necessary. Grants are being applied for, but the pandemic and resulting pressure on the building trade meant work has not been started. 



## **St Peters** 

The building is generally in sound condition and necessary repairs are being carried out. The graveyard is maintained by volunteers. St Peter’s does not yet have regular services, but there have been two funeral services and a Christingle Service. The church is always open for quiet reflection and prayer, and visitors to the area. 

## **Church House** 

Church House committee manages the property including the public rooms. The self-contained flat above and adjacent Church House Cottage are let to private tenants. PCC approval is given for necessary maintenance work on the property which is widely used by the general community of Grassington and surrounding area. An upper room in Church House has been converted to an office for the use of the parish administrator, Claire Senior. Work has been done to increase the ventilation of the building. There has been considerable expenditure for renewing and upgrading the electrics to current standards. A small area of land at the rear is to be sold and the proceeds will be used for the development of an accessible rear entrance. The public rooms were not opened again until the autumn, except for use by the Mothers Baby and Toddlers group. Primary ’ and Toddler Praise services previously held in Church House have not resumed, but the Mother s Babies and Toddlers groups re-started in April limited initially to 6 families and numbers have grown significantly since then, led by Cath Currier with other volunteers. 

## P **astoral Care** 

Normally Church House is available for public use in the centre of the community providing a meeting place and rooms for fundraising events, as well as the midweek service. 

When parishioners are ill or in firm and in need of support, Rev David Macha makes home visits and Communion can be celebrated when requested. Two members of the parish are Eucharistic Lay ministers and Cath Currier is a Licensed Lay Minister. Volunteers visit those who are sick and unable to leave their homes to keep them in touch with church life. 

## **Mission and Evangelism** 

Helping those in need is a demonstration of our faith. Helping neighbours with kindness during times of enforced isolation has benefitted the whole community. Church House is used for fundraising events. Giving to other Charities includes Martin House, Crisis at Christmas, Leprosy Mission and British Legion. The PCC has four mission partners to whom regular giving is donated: these are CMS mission partners Ben and Katy Ray for their work in Tanzania; Craven Schools Partnership for actively promoting the gospel in local schools by assemblies, plays, RE days, and worship workshops; Yorkshire Camps based at Netherside Hall Threshfield, who hold camps for churches, schools, families and training weekends sharing Jesus with young people; and the Anglican Church in Sudan as part of the wider Diocesan link. 



There is a food bank collection point in St Michael’s for the growing need. Volunteers deliver the food collected to the Skipton Foodbank co-ordinated at the Skipton Baptist church. 

The parish magazine is a good resource for connecting with non-churchgoers and generates goodwill, giving information as to what is going on in the villages as well as important matters effecting the church. It is distributed monthly to parishioners and schools, B & Bs and hotels, and available at the Hub community centre in Grassington for villagers and visitors. Parishioners are encouraged to become Blood donors and to support refugees locally in Craven. The decision to move to voluntary contributions has resulted in the magazine being more widely read. 

Musical concerts held in St Michael’s and organ recitals in St Peter’s attract people who would not normally enter the church, so they can enjoy the building and meet parishioners. 

School ministry is going well. The Clergy work closely with the local schools, conducting assemblies and Collective Worship for the whole school community. Grassington and Threshfield Schools have held Harvest festival services in St Michael’s and also end of term services. 

‘Table for two’ marriage preparation sessions continue to be very popular and provide a great opportunity to share fellowship across the parishes as we serve the couples getting married in our churches. These are run by volunteers from Burnsall, Rylstone and Linton parishes. 

The Church Website provides information about the parish at _https://linton-burnsall-rylstone.com_ and there are both parish and benefice Facebook pages which promote the life of the whole church. The development of the mailchimp email accounts readily reach an increasing number people, over 400. 130 people open our Reflection emails every day. . 

## **Ecumenical Relationships** 

The parish is part of Churches Together in Upper Wharfedale cluster of churches which usually hold a joint service in January and at Grassington Festival in June.  Joint services are held in Church House each Wednesday. 

The PCC are committed to financially supporting Project ReVerb which ran the youth group for local 8 to 14 year olds after school club, Mum’s & Toddler Group and Toddler Praise, Collective 

Worship committees in schools, and a Re-wind to Christmas event at Netherside Hall for year 5 pupils from 5 local schools.  The Reverb worker had to leave during the pandemic and a decision was taken not to appoint a new worker until the changing circumstances and resources were in place to continue with the project. . 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The PCC follow the budget set by the finance committee. The income comes from planned giving, collections, donations, fees and legacies. Gift Aid claimed quarterly to assist cash flow totalled £8264.26 in 2021, £1394.88 for tax reclaimed under Gift Aid Small Donations scheme from anonymous gifts in collections, £6869.38 on gifts in envelopes and standing orders.  VAT is ’ reclaimed where possible. Linton parish is part of the Diocese of Leeds. The Diocese s newer model for calculating the parish share places a massive and unfair burden upon Linton parish. 2019 



and 2020 were financially difficult and 2021 has not been much better. The Diocesan share request was £69512 and again it has not been possible for this to be paid in full. The older established members of the congregation who formed the financial backbone of the church are diminishing in number and as a result the income has reduced significantly. This has been made worse by the closure of the churches during the pandemic. Parishioners are encouraged to set up standing orders to assist with regularity of giving and to review their giving in line with the Diocesan assumption of 5% giving of gross income on the basis that giving should not be borne out of guilt but out of faith and thanksgiving. 

The time of the incumbent David Macha is divided between the three Parishes of Linton, Burnsall and Rylstone in the single Benefice. The PCCs for each parish now have 2 or 3 joint meetings a year, when possible.  In order to maintain the pattern of services relief clergy are required and the cost is paid by the parishes according to the number of services they each hold. 

The General and Church House accounts work in conjunction, and any surplus from the Church House account is transferred into the General account. Church House Flat and Cottage produce rental income. Income and outgoings for Church House Flat and Cottage are as detailed in the Church House accounts. The No Two account received and distributed the Restricted Funds with a final balance of £27841 as shown in the financial statement. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

It is the policy of the PCC to maintain reserves for emergency and unforeseen expenditure, currently £53589 for St Michaels and St Peters. 

## **Volunteers** 

We thank all volunteers who work so hard to make both the churches the welcoming communities they are for residents and visitors, in particular the Church Wardens and Sidespersons and all other members of the PCC and congregation for their valuable contribution to the ministry and for keeping the church running. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

The members of the PCC were the incumbent Rev David Macha, the Church Wardens, the Reader, Deanery Synod representative and members elected by the members of the congregation who are on the Electoral Roll. All who regularly attend church services are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election. 

The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding how funds are spent. A standing committee of the Rector, at least one Warden, two elected members, Treasurer and Secretary can be called upon for specific issues as and when necessary. The PCC set out four clear objectives for this year, Focus on Ministry, mission and outreach; opening of church buildings; agreement of the works and plans ’ for the back of Church House and development of the toilet and kitchen project at St Michael s. 



The full PCC met at least 5 times during the year on Zoom during lockdown. Joint meetings are normally held with the PCCs of Burnsall and Rylstone regarding issues which affect all three parishes in the Benefice. The PCC has a number of committees dealing with particular aspects of parish life, for Pastoral, Fabric, Finance, Communications and Social all of which are responsible to the PCC and report back with their deliberations being received and discussed by the full PCC. St Peter’s has a committee of parishioners. 

## **ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION** 

The PCC is a body corporate (PCC Powers Measure 1956, Church Representation Rules 2006) and a charity registered with the Charity Commission.

ST MICHAEL'S LINTON
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LINTON IN CRAVEN
PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL
This report on the accounts of the chui.ch Council for the year elided i l December ?021. whicli is set
out on the attached paoes, is in respect of an exaiiiination carried out iii accordance with the Charities
Act ?01 l ('the Act ).
Respective responsibilities of the Church Council and the examiner
As members of the Church Couiicil you are respoiisible for the preparation of the accounts; vou
consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144(?) of the Chai"ities Act ?0 I l and
that an independent examination is needed.
It is Iny responsibility to:
examine the accounts (under section 145 of the ?01 l Act);
to follow the procedures laid down in the Geiiei"al Directions (yiven by the chai.ity
Commission (under section 14i(5)(b) of the ?0 I l Act); and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of this report
My examination was cai.ried out in accoi"dance witli the General Directions oiven by tlie Chai-ity
Commission. That examination includes a review of tlie accountino records kept by tlie Cliurch
Council and a comparison of the accounts with tliose records. It also iiicludes considerincy any unusual
iteiiis or disclosures in the accounts and seekin(y explanations fi.oiii you as trustees concernino any such
Inatters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be requii.ed in an audit,
aiid consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view iyiven by tlie accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has conie to Iny attention:
(i)
which gives Ine reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the
requireiiients
to keep accountino records in accordance with section 130 of the Act:
and
to prepare the accounts whicli accord with the accountino recoi.ds and
comply with the requirements of the Act have not beeii met; or
(2)
to whicli: in my opinioii: atteiition should be draw'n in order to enable a proper
understandino ot" the accounts to be I"eaclied.
