APCM of The Parish of St. Andrew's Gorleston Report of 2024 held on 12th March 2025 THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND Diocese of Norwich St. Andrew's Church Church Road Gorleston Great Yarmouth Norfolk NR316LR ST.ANDREW S aoRL£ST0tr4-ON-SEA Office [phone] e-mail: [e-mail] Website: www.standrewsgorleston.org.uk Find us on Facebook

Vicar's Report As the reports that make up this annual report show, there are so many people doing so many things here at St. Andrew's. for which l am so grateful. I'm also so grateful to Rev Sue Upton for all that she has done in supporting and leading St. Andrew's, particularly in bringing closer unity in the congregation, until I was instslled on 13 February 2024, and for all the useful information that she put together for me. Rev John Kinchin-smith has also been a huge support to the church, and a valued clergy colleague. Without ex￿ptIOn, I have been so grateful for the welcome, support and hard work of everyone in the church including our Parish Administrator, Churchwardens, Parish Clerk, Verger Team, PCC members, PCC Secretary, Treasurer, Parish Safeguarding Offi￿r, preachers and Servi￿ leaders, organist, choir, worship band, sound, projection and streaming team, intercessors and readers, welcomers, volunteers opening the church up, Little Stars team, Open the Book team, those who support children in church, the Church in the Chapter House team, those who arrange the flowers, clean the church, tidy the church yard, organise social events, catering and coffee making teams, those who organise the Walking Group and the Ladies Group and so many other jobs. But the thing that also really brings me a lot of joy is the way that the church family feels welcoming, united and able to value diversity, as well as being encouraging and flexible as we consider the way ahead. The reading that I chose for my installation service in February 2024 was John 15: 1-17 where Jesus says, '1 am the vine,. you are the branches. If you remain in me and l in you, you will bear much fruit,. apart from me you can do nothing. ' And in all that we do, I pray that together we will remain Jesus-focussed, growing in faith and trusting ever more deeply in him, and relying on him for the direction, equipping and resources that we need to share the good news of his love. When l arrived in Gorleston a number of people in the community told me that they would like the church to be open for people to come in. We opened the church to visitors on Easter Monday and then had a fantastic heritage open week in September 2024 finding all sorts of treasures to show people and John and Sally McBride put together some super informalion booklets, and now a published book about the history of St. Andrew's. After the open week, we have been opening the church every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning with the help of a new volunteer team and have seen an increasing number of visitors coming in to look at the heritage, chat or use the space to reflect. A lot of work has been done in the church and Chapter House, including taking down the old boiler chimney which was thought to be letting water into the church and making the ramp damp. However, in August, we unfortunately discovered that all of the wooden flooring in the church is rotten and will need replacing. l am so grateful to everyone for being so accommodating about having to use the church differently and for all the work of the Churchwardens, vergers and the team that is putting together a grant application (in partnership with our architect and project manager, Ruth Brennan). Andrea, in particular, has done a lot of work towards this. Fortunately we have still been able to welcome people into the church for large services, including Remembrance Sunday. the Jary's carols and candles remembrance service; the RNLI carol service. and children from Wroughton and Stradbroke for Christingle and Christmas services. A spin off of having to use the church differently has meant that we have rediscovered the Lady Chapel which has become a lovely space for the 8am communion service on Sunday momings and the Thursday mid-week communion" have cleared the Memorial Chapel to be used as a space for prayer and reflection for visitors. and used the chancel for the Chrtstmas Eve popup nativity servi￿.

Over Holy Week we had a series of reflective ServI￿S each evening, in the lead up to our Easter services. In July we held a Sea Sunday service for the first time and it was wonderful to hear stories related to fishing from drfferent members of the congregation. We had some great Christmas services, including some new services this year. There was a Churches Together walk of witness and combined service at Gorleston Baptist Church on Good Friday and a Churches Together sunrise serrfice on the beach on Easter Sunday. As different churches in Gorleston we also had a combined Sunday morning service around the bandstand during the Clifftop Festival in August. Little Stars, our baby and toddler group, has gone from strength to strength and we consistently hear how much people enjoy bringing their little ones to a welcoming, safe group. It was fantsstic that members of the church paid for chocolate Advent calendars with the Christmas message for children who come along to Little Stars. There have been a number of baptisms this year and although everyone is very welcoming to children who come along on a Sunday morning, it isn't always easy for people who are unfamiliar with church to come along (and not always the easiest time slot). In October we started a monthly intergenerational, infomal, interactive service on Sunday afternoons in the Chapter House. There have been two seNices (with a break in December with Christingle and Popup Nativity services instead) which some adults and children who we do not usually see on Sunday momings coming along. I'm really grateful to the social committee for some great events, including the Summer Fete, Christian Aid tea dance, Tear Fund quiz, Christmas Fayre - plus the Saturday coffee mornings and G&S concerts. It is always good to spend time together, particularly week after week having coffee after the Sunday morning service together- on a number of occasions accompanied by cake for significant anniversaries and occasions! There is so much to be thankful to God for in our life together, in the ways that God has provided for us thus far, and in the ways people are loving and seNing God both in our church family and in our community. Rev Shaula Reilly Electoral Roll Report At the time of the APCM on the 12th March 2025 the Electoral Roll has 85 members. We have had to compile a completely new roll this year. This has to be done every 6th year. We welcome 10 new people to the roll. Carole Morris Electoral Roll Officer

Churchwarden Reports What did 2024 bring. A new Vicar in February. Carole, Shaula and I met every month to discuss things in the Church. We also had the Vergers meetings every third month. The Choir Vestry roof,. a new channel was made to tske away the excess water, so we won't have the water damage that happened before. Chapter House glass cone. One of the banes I had to deal with in 2024. Alas, after the difficulties getting it fixed, it still leaks. Doh. The floor; having fallen through the floor to the side of the organ, I checked other parts of the church floor with wood. Under the carpet tiles the wood was soaking wet. I could wring it and the water would pour out. With an inspection from an architect the floor was condemned. It is an on going procedure to get fixed. Sorry. Justin Wilson Churchwarden I have enjoyed being your Churchwarden, in spite of the obvious difficulties this year has bought to us, and I would like to thank you for all for your help and understanding during a quite difficult year. I would be very pleased to continue in the role of Churchwarden if l am elected to do so. Carole Morris Churchwarden

The Standing Committee met before the PCC meetings. CONDUCT OF MEETING All meetings were opened with a Bible reading and prayer and were closed with prayer. A YEAR IN THE LIFE ofthe Church: The past year has been a successful one with Rev. Shaula Reilly joining St. Andrew's in February 2024. We give our thanks to God that she has been appointed to our Church. Several events have taken place throughout the year including the Summer Fete, Christmas Fayre and concerts organised and performed by the G&S Singers. Andrea Hellingsworth has been an efficient and diligent Treasurer throughout the last year, providing regular updates and reports at each PCC meeting. This year, we were very pleased to be able to pay our whole Parish Share contribution. Several committees have continued throughout this year including: The Worship Committee, Pastoral Committee, Sociavoutreach Committee and Fabric Committee. Our current services are - 10.30am Holy Communion on Thursday momings, 8am Holy Communion on Sunday and 1 Oam Worship Together on Sunday which is a blended service of traditional and modern music. A new Church in the Chapter House service is taking place on the last Sunday of the month and welcomes everybody, making it an informal and intergenerational opportunity to worship and learn more about Jesus. Maintenance work and refurbishments have continued this year with further works to be completed throughout 2025. The security within the Church and Chapter House has been greatly improved with new codes, cameras and locks. The church floor has been a large challenge this last year due to the damp. This has restricted some of the seating area within the church but work is taking place to improve this over the next year. THANK YOU Our thanks are due in the first instance to God. Our thanks are also due to all of our PCC members for their commitment throughout the year and for those whose terms have completed. Thank you to our committed Treasurer, Andrea and our Churchwardens, Carole and Justin for keeping the Church running smoothly. Thank you to Cathie Cassidy for her work as the Parish Safeguarding Officer. Thank you to all those who provide music during the services and for additional concerts and events. On behalf of the PCC, I would like to thank Sally our Parish Administrator for her continuous hard work in the office. A huge thank you to Rev. Shaula Reilly, Rev. John Kinchin-smith and Rev. Sue Upton for the serrfices delivered throughout the year as well as Stephanie Gostick and Melvyn Reid. Lastly, thank you all for attending this meeting - it is good that we can gather together in our Lord's name to do his work and for his glory. Madeleine Moretto PCC Secretary

Treasurer's Report and Summary Accounts for 2024 These are at the back of this brochure. The full accounts are available on request from the Church Office. Andrea Hellingsworth Treasurer Fabrlc Report There have been difficulties this year which a￿ still ongoing, the redundant chimney was demolished and this revealed dampness in the church floor. At first it was thought it was only in the north aisle and ramp, which had been close to the chimney, that was affected. Following a visit from Ruth Brennan our Architect it was found the dampness was far more extensive and in fact covered the whole of the wooden floor and Ruth said it was not safe to use and would need to be cordoned off, which is why we have the church in the position it is now in. At this point we would like to say how well the whole congregation has dealt with the problem. Hopefully next year's Fabric Report will be able to say that it is all repaired. On a more positive note, the West Wall and Window were repointed in the spring to stop rainwater running down the wall inside the church office and lo let the church wall in that area dry out, the disabled toilet has been decorated. The drainage on the roof of the Choir Vestrylsouth Meeting Room has been improved and we haven't had any more floods from there, so that room will be decorated early 2025. Extra CCTV cameras have been installed to cover more of the carpark and rear churchyard. Keypad entry systems have been installed for more security for the Church and Chapter House. In the past one key gave access to all areas, meaning anyone could enter the Church from the Chapter House including private hirers. Too many keys were in circulation. Justin has worked hard to get the Lantem in the Chapter House watertight, a difficult long-standing problem. It is much improved but still leaks when the wind blows from the 'wrong' direction. Carole Morris & Justin Wilson Churchwardens

THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND Diocese of Norwich Great Yarmouth Deanery Synod Report l joined the PCC at the APCM in 2024 as a Deanery Synod Representative for the remainder of a 3 year appointment. Therefore, l only attended 2 Synod meetings during 2024 in June and October. In June the meeting was here at St. Andrew's. Bishop lan conducted the licensing of the Rev'd David Wells as Rural Dean. 37 people attended the meeting due partly to it being summertime and St. Andrew's being easy to find! We had a talk by Tim Sweeting Diocesan Secretary from St. Stephen's Church in Norwich. His role is to work with the Parish Support Team to help all churches. The Treasurer reported that Synod had £937.38 in the bank, so no rn0￿ donations required until 2024 - 2025. Rev'd Canon Simon Ward was thanked for all he has done as Rural Dean. The October meeting took place at St. George's Church, Rollesby - much less easy to find on a damp, dark evening! We began with a 15 minute Evening Prayer including 2 hymns. Colin and Robert, 2 members of the Generous Giving Team, gave presentstion on ways to increase giving. Ministry and Mission are now needed more than ever. They spoke about the Contactless Giving Machine, which of course we have had at St. Andrew's for sometime. They are needed as cash giving is declining everywhere. The 3 ministers in the Flegg team cope with 17 churches and with enormous help from Churchwardens, Vergers and Congregations, have a service of some kind at each church every week. They also keep all their churches open a51 day. It was very interesting to hear from Rev'd Jo and Rev'd Debs about part of the Deanery which is so different to Gorleston. Aileen Stone Parish Safeguarding Annual Report The past year has been a difficult year in terms of safeguarding for the Church of England as a whole and certain aspects of govemance and scrutiny are under discussion at the highest levels. We here at St. Andrew's are aware and doing our best to keep abreast of developments in this area. In the past year we have continued to work with our children, young people and vulnerable adults following the guidelines set out by the Norwich diocese in the Parish Safeguarding Handbook which is accessible through the Diocesan website and in a hard copy held in the Offi￿ and continue to ensure all volunteers and offi￿rS within St. Andrew's have appropriate Disclosure and Barring Service certificates and have completed the recommended level of Safeguarding training. Foundation level Safeguarding training is to be undertaken by all PCC members, salaried staff and volunteers involved in work with children, young people and vulnerable adults and is available through the Church of England e-leaming site. Access to this pathway is available through the Diocesan website and all volunteers and PCC members should complete this course and update it every 3 years.

The Safeguarding Training is also available to any member of the church who wishes to raise their personal level of awareness. The greater our degree of awareness as a community the safer we all can be. Diocesan Networking and briefing sessions for Parish Safeguarding Officers continue quarterly and are very useful and infornative sessions and as a Parish we use the Dashboard system as a tool to monitor our Complian￿ with safeguarding guidelines. The Parish Safeguarding OffI￿r for all matters conceming Children, Young People and Vulnerable Adults is: Catherine Cassidy. Contact no: Tel .

I would like to thank all who take part in the Church's ministry to our young people and vulnerable Adults. Catherine Cassidy Parish Safeguarding Officer

Walking Group Report Now going into our Ilth year and still going strong. Again we have walked in familiar, favourite places and one or two new areas. We meet on Monday afternoon at around 1.30pm always starting with prayer for safety, fellowship and good weather. We have 20 members but average 12-15 weekly. It is a joy and blessing to be able to get out in our beautiful area and discover new things to stop, listen and watch. We have a meal out twi￿ a year, once in the summer and again at Christmas. This year we went twice to the Pub on the Prom in Great Yarmouth. We had a really good time, lovely food and good company and were made very welcome by the staff. Have we wetted your appetite to join us? We would love to see you. To all our current walkers, thanks for coming each week, and for the fellowship we share - keep on coming. For more information about the group please contact the Church Office or Jean on 01493 662754. We look forward to seeing you. Jean and the Walking Group Choir Report We have had a successful year and have much appreciated working with and being supported by Shaula. One of the highlights was of course the induction service for Shaula when we were able to call in extra singers which was organised by Bob, an arrangement which has benefited us and other choirs with which we are associated. We have sung at each Sunday service working alongside the band an arrangement which works very well, as we "mix and match" according to the requirements of the service. We have also sung anthems occasionally, including at major festivals, i.e. ChristmaslEaster etc. and have sung at extra services as required. Like most parish church choirs we would like to attract more singers. We are not only a choir but a group of Christian friends who appreciate the opportunity to serve God with our music. With our thanks to church members for their support and encouragement, friends in the worship band for their willingness to work together with us, and especially Shaula for her encouragement and support. Tony Jaye Choir Master io

Coffee Mornings Report We have enjoyed another successful year of coffee momings and were able to give the church £697.1 Op for the period January 2024 to December 2024. Thank you to all those who support the coffee mornings and a big thank you to all those who are willing to help out. If you haven't been to a coffee moming yet, do come along - we are very friendly and would love to see you. Coffee mornings are held on the first Saturday of the month (unless otherwise advised) at the time of 10am -12 noon. Come along and pay us a visit - we look forward to seeing you soon. Jean and The Team Flower Guild Report The Guild has decorated the Church for Easter, Harvest and Christmas as well as throughout the year. We only had one Wedding last year. We had three meetings during the year to discuss decorating it for the festivals. We took part in the tsble top sale in July to add to our funds. Members had an evening meal at the Olive Gardens in May and thirteen attended of which three were past members. In December we had a meal at the Priory in St. Olaves and Shaula also attended and she met all the Guild members, it was really great that she could come as she's always been very appreciative of all our efforts. We have eleven active members of the Guild. We all enjoy the privilege of being able to decorate our beautiful Church - if at present it has its problems - to the glory of God using His beautiful creations. Eileen Wood Leader Worship Band During 2024, the Worship Band contributed to the worship at the 10:00 a.m. services. Thank you to all of the band members for enabling there to be a band every week. Reverend Shaula was a welcorne addition at some of the services. Several new songs were learned by the band and we will be looking to continue this in the year ahead. If you can sing or play an instrument and wish to be part of the band, please get in touch with me. Thanks Stephanie Gostick

Open The Book Report We continue to go into Stradbroke School to present stories from the bible and to tell about the love of Jesus for every one of us. The stories we present are still narrated by Cathie and acted out with the rest of the team and the children. As always it is an enormous prtvilege and blessing to be welcomed into school to present these stories to both the children and teachers alike. We are delighted to welcome Paula and the Rev Shaula into the team and hope they will be part of the team for many years. We are still seeking new members to join us and be part of this very important mission to the next generation. Do you feel you are being called to be part of our team? Please do get in touch. Please remember to continue to pray for the schools and the Open The Book Team. Jean Murray and the Open The Book Team Parish Clerk Report The work of the Parish Clerk still continues, we continue to go into Great Yarmouth for banking purposes. I still send invoices to the undertakers for funerals and most of the payments are paid by the BACS system. At the end of every quarter I calculate the payments due to the diocese and pass the figures to the Treasurer for payment. We had two weddings last year and at the moment we have none for this year, but we are open on the first Thursday of every month to meet couples fa￿ to face giving them a chance to look round the church and answer any queries they might have. Sometimes we have no one but it does give me a Chan￿ to catch up with filing etc. I would also like to say we have a great team which makes my life so much easier. The communication between our vicar, treasurer, administrator and churchwardens is first class. Many thanks to you all. If anyone would like to know more about being a Parish Clerk please contact me and I am willing to give you more infomiation. Linda Vickers 12

Vergers Report Vergers duties are to help out whenever we can at servI￿s, weddings, funerals and baptisms, also to give Carole and Justin all the help we can in their duties as churchwardens. Weddings and funerals were a little down in numbers on the previous year, weddings two in church and funerals we had 12. We had quite a few baptisms which are usually held after the 1 Oam Sunday service. For Sunday 8am Communion Services, we open and set up the church along with John and Jean, Carole and Brian, which is a great help and means we only have to get up early every third week. We also helped at Bob Boardley's cOn￿rt in early December. We had an afternoon concert in the Chapter House due to the floor problems in the church, with the Gold and Silver Singers and Barber Shop Choir from Norwich, and great guest artists (husband and wife) singer and pianist both so talented. The concert was a great success in the Chapter House (so much warmer than the church in December). Well done Bob for organising the concert. Again we were on duty for the annual Jary's Memorial Service held in the church, this service seems to grow from strength to strength in popularity every year. We covered all the church carol services this year and had an extra one, the RNLI carol service which proved to be very popular and well attended. We are still looking for another team of vergers. If interested please talk to us or clergy. Richard Vickers AV. PA and Livestream Report Thanks to Justin for all his hard work with the PA system. It would be great if one or two people were able to assist with the PA as Justin currently covers this almost every week. Please speak to us if you are able to help. We have continued to stream most Sunday services and the occasional wedding or funeral to the St. Andrew's YouTube channel which aligns with the aim of "Being Church in Person and Digitally". As in 2023, Maddie has been producing the slides for projection onto the screens during services plus operating the streaming and projection systems in church every few weeks. John Kinchin-smith is also a valued member of our small team, operating the system on a regular basis. The problem with the church floor necessitated a change to the camera system. Although the camera angle is not ideal, it allows online viewers to see the service leader and readerslintercessors. For the year ahead, we're looking to build some contingency cover in the team. If anyone would like to help with the administration of the YouTube channel (this doesn't take much time or skill) or with producing the slides for projection (it's a bit like PowerPoint) please get in touch with me. Stephen Gostick 13

Lettings Report In 2024 we had many users of the church facilities. Scouts have now increased their groups to include Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers and various Training meetings too. They meet here two days a week on a regular basis. Total Ensemble have been with us throughout the winter seasons having a weekly group. Coastwatch hire bimonthly and RSPCA held a sale for their annual event here. CPCC had an away day here. DPA put on a Christmas concert. The RNLI have held a meeting here and Anglian Training come bimonthly for training sessions. Niks Events, U3A Craft Group and a couple of parties have all hired too. Parties can now take pla since the insurance has changed and this can be allowed. One booking cancelled and they donated their fees to the church so thank you to Vintage and Collectables. GYSMA Keyboard Group meet monthly and have played for us at our Fayres we have held - so thank you to them and the monies they have raised for the church. G&S Singers held 2 concerts here and many thanks for their donations too. Rafiki hold the yearly plant sale in the church. Thank you to them for their donation. Identity ZIP hold a weekly bible study and Ladies Club have meetings twice a month. Little Stars meet weekly and Coffee Mornings happen monthly, the Choir practise weekly, Opening the Church is happening 3 momings a week and the Flower Guild all frequent the buildings. Michael has been hoovering weekly and much thanks to him for that. MC Cleaners clean the Chapter House twice a week now and of course there are the usual church activities taking place too. There have been lots of enquires throughout the year and we are hoping to get more bookings as we move forward. Sally McBride Parish Administrator Openlng the Church Report Highest number of visitors 11, from the local walking group. They pass through on Tuesdays. Those visiting were often lighting candles in memorial, or had been married or baptised in St. Andrew's. Others just wished to explore the history, and all loved the stained glass of course. One young lady from the college was most interested in the church and all things Christian. Lovely girl who after a tour and chat spent 45 minutes at least reading in the chapel. Hopefully with the better weather coming, we will have more visitors. All of those who visited were very happy with the wann welcome. Justin Wilson Churchwarden 14

Little Stars Toddler Group Report Little Stars has gone from strength to strength over the course of the year. We have nearly 40 families on our register but numbers each week average between 10 and 20 toddlers (mostly 0-2 year olds) with their parents or carers; we have new families joining us most weeks. We meet every Monday moming in the Chapter House during school term times. We are very grateful for the use of the Chapter House and for all the support St. Andrew's gives to Little Stars. Your prayers are invaluable: a comment frequently made by parents is how much they enjoy our group because of the calm. peaceful atmosphere; l am sure that that is because of the prayers covering all we do. Our families were also very touched to hear that members of the congregation had bought a 'real' Advent calendar for each child. Norfolk County Council early years support workers have visited twice, to tell parents what is available for them; on the second visit each child was given a bag containing sensory play things. l also signed us up for a BooktrusUBookstart pilot scheme encouraging children and parents to enjoy sharing books together; we received gift packs for every child containing age-appropriate books and a game. I would like to thank Cathie, Paula, Shaula and Rajan for all their involvement and help over the year. Caroline Kinchin-smith Ladies Club Report Ladies club continue to meet on alternate Thursday afternoons in the North Meeting Room. Our numbers are fairly consistent and we are a small but perfectly formed group. Over the last year we have had a varied programme, some quieter than others. We have enjoyed the peace of pamper afternoons. We have had tasting sessions, one for cheeses from around the world and one for various hot chocolates and we leamt from that one, that there is a limit to just how much hot chocolate one can drink! We celebrated St. George's day with Morris dancing. We were very lucky with the weather for our strawberry tea and were able to enjoy strawberries and cake in Jean's garden, the rain held off just until we were clearing away. We had our annual Christmas dinner, and although we were a much smaller group than usual, because of illness, we had great fun as groups did charades of Christmas carols. We would always welcome new members. Gillian Philpot 15
