THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF BIGGLESWADE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Aim and Purposes

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of the Church of St Andrew’s, Biggleswade has the responsibility of co-operating with the Revd. Liz Oglesby-Elong, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also responsible for the maintenance of the Church building and of the adjoining Chapter House and grounds.

Objectives and Activities

The PCC is committed to enabling and encouraging as many people as possible to worship at God’s Church and to become part of the Christian community at St Andrew’s. Our services, worship and other activities put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament and acts of outreach into the community. Through the services and activities which take place, we aim to enable people to live out their faith through:

Worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus.

Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish.

Missionary and outreach work.

To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Church, and of the adjoining Chapter House complex.

Ministry Team

St Andrew’s is led by the Revd. Liz Oglesby-Elong, and supported by a ministry team consisting of Mr Colin Dixon and Miss Rosemary Bentley, our Readers.

Safeguarding Statement

Section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have due regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults) came into force at the latter end of 2016 and we confirm that the PCC continues to review our policies to ensure compliance, and that we are having due regard to the guidance.

Achievements and Performance

Mission Action Planning

Central to the mission action plan for St Andrew’s is the vision statement which is:

St Andrew’s Church: Worshipping God with Joy, Growing in Faith, Serving with Love and Welcoming All.

The PCC continues to work towards the following aims: -

• Ensure that the whole Church owns the vision statement.

• Encourage everyone to grow in faith, in both the Church community and the wider community.

• Develop a wider and deeper sense of welcome, fellowship and belonging, involving everyone.

Worship and Prayer

Clergy, including visiting Clerks in Holy Orders, and Diocesan priests, officiated during the Vacancy, which ended on Saturday 25 September, when the Revd Liz Oglesby-Elong was licensed via Zoom [owing to COVID-19]; subsequently Revd Liz’s Collation by the Bishop of Bedford, and Installation and Induction by the Archdeacon of Bedford took place at St Andrew’s Church on Saturday 4 December. Main services continue to be shared live via Zoom as well as in church.

The main service of the week, once pandemic restrictions were lifted, continued to be the Sunday morning Parish Communion at 10.00 am, with a weekly Holy Communion service also taking place on Thursday mornings. Towards the end of the year, both these services were followed by coffee in the Chapter House as we felt confident offering hospitality once more. In December, the 8.00 am [said Communion – traditional words] resumed on the first Sunday of the month; it is hoped the frequency of this worship will increase in 2022.

On the first Sunday of the month, the Parish Communion is usually replaced by a Family Communion with a less formal liturgy and a small worship group. An important part of our mission and outreach is through the provision of baptism, wedding, and funeral services as opportunities to celebrate and to give thanks and prayers to God at significant points in people’s lives.

During 2021 we conducted 8 baptisms, 7 weddings, 1 marriage blessing, 36 funerals, and 8 committals of cremated ashes; it was important to celebrate baptisms and weddings particularly in the summer and autumn.

Whenever possible in 2021, St Andrew’s marked the major Christian festivals during the year with special services and acts of witness. These included:

• Colourful banners were displayed outside the Church to raise awareness of Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Day.

• During Holy Week and Easter 2021 three large crosses were set up in front of the Church.

• An Advent Sunday Service of Light in Church, carol singing in the Church grounds, and a Service of Nine Lessons and Carols were welcomed and celebrated in December

• A Floodlit Nativity Tableau east of the Church throughout Christmas and Epiphany.

• A Sunday School Nativity was well attended in Church on Christmas Eve.

Throughout 2021 the Church has been open during the day, for a minimum of 2 hours, twice weekly, for visitors who may wish to spend time in prayer or contemplation whenever pandemic obligations and restrictions permitted.

Pastoral Care

During 2021 clergy and lay teams continued to provide pastoral care for members of the congregation and parish at large, whenever possible.

A small lay team are able to provide Home Communion; the frequency of such visits has been limited during the pandemic, but a more extensive programme is planned for 2022. Various networks of contact and support have continued to flourish, often via doorstep meetings, telephone calls, written communications including many valued contributions from Sunday School members, social media, personal greetings, and more recently in discussions during times of hospitality in the Chapter House.

Nurture and Teaching

St Andrew’s continues to provide different opportunities for nurture and Christian growth in a mixture of environments. The 2021 Lent course followed the York Course, “Caring for Creation”, focusing on climate change, and this was delivered via Zoom. The theme of this was carried forward into the Country Fayre in

2 St Andrew’s Church Biggleswade, PCC Annual Report 2021

September, which was delivered outdoors and attracted many from the community. An exhibition during the Country Fayre in the Church focused upon the effects of climate change. Four children followed a weekly Zoom session during 2020 as they prepared to be admitted into Communion; these continued through the first few months of 2021 as an admittance service was not possible. Five young people followed the Emmaus Nurture course as confirmation preparation via Zoom during 2020 and into 2021. A Confirmation and Admission service was held in May, when the 5 young people were confirmed and the 4 children were admitted by Bishop Richard.

The use of New Daylight Bible reading notes is encouraged. We are fortunate to provide nurture groups for our young people. Our Sunday School has met throughout the year when regulations permitted. The Sunday School delivered a nativity play at the crib service on Christmas Eve. We were blessed to be able to hold our annual Holiday Club in 2021, with over 100 children attending. They were split into 4 separate groups both inside the Church and in marquees in the churchyard. The children met altogether at the beginning and end of the day for a stage show and worship led by our older teenagers following the Scripture Union theme, “Wonder Zone”.

Mission and Evangelism

St Andrew’s has developed a strong reputation for reaching out into the community. We believe that by creating opportunities to meet with people in the town and community we create opportunities to welcome them into the Christian faith. To support our work with children and young people, St Andrew’s continues to work within the Diocesan Child Protection Policy which includes DBS checking of all those who are in regular or unsupervised contact with children or vulnerable adults.

Our inclusive youth groups re-opened in September following suspension due to Covid. We opened with a 9+ and 11+ group meeting on Thursday evening and a 15+ group meeting on Sunday evenings. The programme is primarily activity based with occasional discussions and a special youth service at the end of each term. Normally the total weekly attendance is around 20 with a mixture of Church and non-Church families being represented.

The 1st and 2nd St Andrew’s Rainbows, 1[st] St Andrew’s Brownies and 1[st] St Andrew’s Guides continue to meet weekly in the Chapter House when possible. During Covid groups met outside where possible.

Our Saturday morning Coffee Shop, reopened in September on just one Saturday a month to coincide with use of the ringing centre. This session is run by church members who are members of the Mothers Union. The Coffee Shop attracts some morning shoppers, bellringers, and members of the parish family. Sunday lunches restarted in September and continue to serve up to 80 people which include a mix of congregation and community attendees. All refreshments served at St Andrew’s are now ‘fairly traded’ and the PCC was pleased to be able to successfully register as a Fairtrade Church during 2013. Profits are donated to Church funds and designated charities.

In 2016 St Andrew’s took the decision to partner with the small African charity “Hands at Work”; this has allowed the Church to partner with the small and vulnerable community of Mafambisa. The PCC currently directly support 15 children through its annual Mission payments with Church groups and individuals supporting a further 30. As well as supporting the children financially, the charity encourages the Church to send teams of people out to the partner community. Teams have visited Africa annually between 2015 and 2019. Unfortunately our team planned for 2020 had to be postponed twice and will now take place in July 2022.

St Andrew’s continues to maintain links with the local schools as feasible; this year the churchwardens continued links with pupils in their classrooms via Zoom. Following a Governing Body Reconstitution in 2014 for both schools, St Andrew’s Lower School now has four Church governors, including the incumbent, and Edward Peake Middle School now has three governors including the incumbent. The PCC thanks those who are prepared to give up their time in this important role. The Church also meets the cost of giving

3 St Andrew’s Church Biggleswade, PCC Annual Report 2021

a Christian book to the Year 1 intake at St Andrew’s Lower School and contributes to the giving of a prayer book to Year 8 leavers at Edward Peake Middle School.

Mission Giving

Helping those in need is a demonstration of our faith. St Andrew’s has a policy of setting aside 8% of our annual stewardship and collection plate giving for mission payments, with a further 2% set aside for emergency mission payments. During 2021 the sum of £5,668 was available for distribution to international, national, and local charities.

The Annual Mission Giving for 2021 was: -

• The Need Project £935 • Hands at Work £3,600

Allocated to Emergency Mission Fund (EMF) in 2021 was the sum of £1,133

During the year 2021 payments were made from the Emergency Mission Fund: -

• Noah Enterprise £200 • UNICEF (Afghanistan) £500 • Bishops Harvest Appeal £300

As is the custom, the Christmas collections were also given to charity and in 2021 donations in the sum of £1,236 equally shared between BRASS and CRISIS.

A further £2,010 was also raised or collected for other charities through these accounts, namely through Lenten Giving - Save the Children (Yemen) (£746), the Bishop’s Harvest Appeal (£417) and Christian Aid (£847).

Additionally the Church ran Just Giving pages for Save the Children (Yemen) £1,664 and Christian Aid £862.

The Country Fayre was held in the Church grounds in September 2021 and raised £3,928 split equally between Christian Aid and A Rocha UK.

This all produced the grand sum of £16,368 in mission giving in 2021, (2020 - £12,799).

Mission Partnership with “Hands at Work” and the community of Mafambisa

Following “The Room” Youth Group trip to Africa in the summer of 2015, the PCC decided to establish a partnership with “Hands at Work” and through this sponsor orphaned and vulnerable children in the community of Mafambisa (formerly Siyathuthuka), a community which was visited by “The Room”. The PCC has entered a formal partnership with “Hands at Work” with a focus on the Care Point at Mafambisa and has agreed to sponsor 15 children at a cost of £20 per child per month to be reviewed every 3 years. Additional sponsorship by individuals in St Andrew’s congregation and Edward Peake Middle School has increased the total sponsorship to 46 children. Further trips to Africa took place during the summer of 2016 for 11 people, and another for 12 people in 2017. During 2018 our young people from “The Cupboard” made the trip to South Africa visiting the communities of Mafambisa, Share, Pfunani and Mluti. In 2019 a team of 7 visited Care points in Oshoek, Mafambisa and Zwelisha. The 2020 team had to be postponed due to the Pandemic and was again postponed in 2021. The team is now scheduled to visit in May 2022.

Deanery Synod

During 2021 St Andrew’s had three representatives on the Deanery Synod, and all were automatically members of the PCC. This provides the PCC with links between the parish and the wider organisation of the Church. St Andrew’s also actively participates in deanery events such as deanery evensongs during Lent and on other occasions.

The Church Building

Small works have been undertaken during the year along with items of regular maintenance, which are important in the long-term care of the building, including interior decorating and churchyard work parties undertaken by members of the congregation.

The Church is regularly cleaned by a team of volunteers, and this was undertaken during 2021 when pandemic restrictions permitted.

The Friends of St Andrew’s

The Friends of St Andrew’s is a group of those, who through the payment of an annual or life subscription, assist the Parochial Church Council, to care for the fabric of the Parish Church. Previously the entity was known as the St Andrew’s Preservation Trust, founded in 1985 for the care of St Andrew’s past, present and future.

The Chapter House

The Chapter House is used by a wide range of community and Church groups and is itself an outreach to our community. The facilities provide a very good environment for a wide range of activities including social groups for older people, activity groups for pre-school children, uniformed organisations (Guides, Brownies, and Rainbows) and NOAH Enterprise and MIND (National Association for Mental Health). These activities have been affected during the year by Covid, however with special measures incorporating social distancing and increased ventilation these groups have managed to meet throughout the year. The Chapter House also provides good space for refreshments after services as well as our Sunday School and Youth Groups.

Curate’s/Minister’s Home

The purchase of 10 Compton Mead in 2017, funded from the proceeds from the sale of St Andrew’s House on Wilshere’s Road and a substantial contribution from the Peter Vickers Memorial Trust, has provided the PCC with a suitable property for future use as a curate or minister’s home. In the short term, while no ministerial support for the incumbent is in place, the house is being rented out, providing useful income to the PCC until such time as it is required for its primary role.

Structure, Governance and Management

The PCC is responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. The full PCC met 8 times during the year with the various teams meeting as required throughout the year, those teams being:

• Growth and Mission Team – Responsible for our outward looking activities that reflect our mission to the community around us, and all that we do to develop Christian nurture and growth within the church community and the wider community.

• Pastoral Team - Responsible for the pastoral care of the congregation and wider community that comes into contact with the church, including home visiting, baptism visiting, and home Communions.

Plus three further groups that support other activities and maintain the buildings and grounds:

• Communications Team

• Buildings and Grounds Team

• Stewardship (formed as required for stewardship renewal)

All the groups are accountable to the PCC and report back regularly and bring items to the full PCC for discussion as necessary.

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At St Andrew’s the membership of the PCC consists of the Revd. Liz Oglesby-Elong, the two Churchwardens and a number

The recovery from the pandemic allowed for increase hire of the Chapter House bringing in 8dditional income of £7,000 and whilst the parish was in vacancy the parish share [edUl￿ by £5.000. although there were increased costs with the Church being used more, s(me of these were covered by grants received from tho Diocese. The PCC remains acutely aware that the everyday expenses for the running of the Church needs to come from Stewardship, the hire of the Chapter House and other donations. This becomes more difficult each year with both parish share and other costs increasing (although 8 great deal of work and jobs in Church are done by volunteers.
