Aims and purposes

Holy Trinity PCC works in co-operation with the Incumbent in promoting the pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical mission of the Church. The Reverend Dominic Fenton took up his post as Priest-inCharge in 2016, was made Rector in 2018 and has been fully engaged with the aims and objectives of the Parish throughout 2021.

Structure, governance and management

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At Holy Trinity, the PCC consists of the Incumbent, the two Churchwardens, three Deanery Synod members and

members elected by those of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the Church. Members are elected for three years. The PCC meets a minimum of six times a year.

There are 146 members on the Church Electoral Roll. The average Sunday attendance in 2021 (including those under 16) was 75. After the final lockdown, congregations have gradually increased week by week until they have returned to pre-pandemic numbers. Weekday Eucharists have returned at noon on Wednesday and Friday.

Objectives and Activities

The PCC is committed to building on the pattern of Sunday worship already established, and to developing new ideas for special services.

We aim to be an inclusive and welcoming community and to enable ordinary people to discover and live out the Christian faith through:

Sacramental worship and prayer, learning about the Gospel and developing trust in Jesus Christ.
Provision of pastoral care for members of the congregation and for all those living or working in the parish.
Missionary and outreach work.
A coffee morning is held on Wednesday and the church is open for crafts to take place during the afternoon.

We are committed to maintaining and preserving our historic buildings and in 2021 a faculty was approved for the construction of a new tea bar in the north- west corner of the nave. The facilities include a sink and dishwasher. The facilities are used to serve refreshments after services and to provide catering for all social events. The monthly Saturday Shop has expanded from a small event held in the hall to become a larger Saturday Market held in the church. The hours are longer, lunches are served and a number of craft stalls take part as well as the regular stalls run by members of the congregation.

Holy Trinity fully complies with the requirements of the Church of England with respect to good safeguarding practice. All persons who have been identified as needing training have completed courses run by the Diocese and this is monitored by our Safeguarding Disclosure Officer.

Achievements and Performance

The PCC is committed to enabling the Church to be open as often as possible, and to welcoming local people and visitors to share in worship both on Sundays and during the week. The church has continued to be Covid compliant with the use of the fogging machine, social distancing measures, hand sanitiser stations and facemasks when legal requirements were in place. As restrictions were eased, safe practices have been encouraged so that all worshippers have felt safe.

There has been extensive engagement with the congregation and wider community. The Rector has used e-mail and the telephone extensively to keep in touch with the congregation. All members of the congregation who have been shielding have been offered telephone support throughout the pandemic. The parish office has been open in the mornings from Tuesday to Friday when permitted by Government Covid regulations and which is manned by a volunteer administrator. We have an answerphone and an e-mail address and both of these are checked regularly outside of office hours.

Giving by members of the congregation has held up very well and more givers have changed from cash in envelopes to standing orders. The church now has a number of card reading machines and these are

enabling us to accept payments by credit or debit card. These are helping us to increase donations from the wider community, especially at special services and events. A significant legacy has been received from the estate of Michael Dickens and several interim payments have been made to the church.

The Junior Church has been interrupted by the closure of the church during lockdown. However, contact has been maintained with Junior Church families and several sessions have taken place. Helpers are required to enable it to relaunch fully.

Nine candidates for confirmation came forward during 2020 but the confirmation had to be delayed due to the pandemic. We were delighted when the confirmations took place in May.

There is a faithful and growing choir and serving team.

The church was open for the Ride and Stride event in September and several members of the congregation took part and were sponsored.

Regular maintenance to church buildings had been carried out and these have included redecorating most of the west wall while the tea bar facilities were being installed. The gable end of the hall has been repaired.

Deanery Synod

Three members of our PCC sit on the Deanery Synod - providing the PCC with an important link with the Diocese and the wider church.

Church Hall

Our hall is open to our community and activities resumed after September. A new hirer, Stone Bay Montessori Nursery is using the hall during the day in term time and other groups including Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and other hirers are also using the facility. An increasing number of groups are also wanting the hire the church for concerts.

Mission and Evangelism

Our parish magazine is issued regularly, keeping our parishioners informed of all the important activities of the church and articles on the Christian faith. The magazine is now also available electronically on the church website: www.holytrinitybroadstairs.com.

Ecumenical Relationships

The Rector and churchwardens meet regularly with the incumbents and wardens of St Peter’s in Thanet and St Andrew’s.

We are members of the Churches Together in Broadstairs and St Peter’s.
