Church Membership
There were 139 members on the Church Electoral Roll at the APCM 26th August 2021(APCM was postponed from April due to Covid Pandemic)
Review of the Year
The Priest employed as a Transition Enabler, the Rev Vince Jupp, served the church until May 2021. Our new Vicar, the Rev Ian Hill was collated as our new Vicar on 30[th] June 2021 and started ministry at the beginning of August.
Since his arrival, the Rev Ian Hill has helped us move forward from the restrictions of the interregnum and of Covid. By the end of the year we had restored our usual Sunday service pattern of 8.00am, 10.15am & 6.00pm, with a Tuesday Communion service restored twice a month. St Mary’s school resumed collective worship in the church twice a week whilst Covid rates permitted this, and the coffee bar and book stall were able to resume after the Covid shutdowns.
A new church, planted by St John’s, Hinckley and supported by the Diocese of Leicester was launched into the St Francis Centre, and is being supported by St Mary’s in terms of accommodation.
The PCC met 5 times during 2021 and received reports from the committees, Children’s
Worker and Deanery Synod members. The service through the work of the St Francis Centre continued with the manager Jo Boffey.
St Mary’s also contributed to the wider town through the open church, coffee bar, food bank, Traidcraft sales and also included working with St Mary’s School, Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council and a range of local and international charities as Covid restrictions permitted.
During 2021 the Covid-19 pandemic had a huge effect on our Church and Community. The building was closed for many months and all worship was conducted online. The coffee bar was closed and only reopened on reduced hours for many months. Our families and children's worker strived hard to support. Both the Church Hall and St Francis Centre were closed for months. Unfortunately, this has severely affected the income received by St Mary’s over 2021
Finance
2020 overall deficit for the whole PCC consolidated accounts amounted to £8 a significant deterioration over the surplus for 2019.
Considering the Covid lock downs and loss of income from the coffee bar and fundraising activities this almost financial position could have been much worse and has to be seen as a positive thing to the credit of our Treasurer and PCC.
On behalf of the PCC Reverend Ian Hill Vicar.
