TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT for the year 2023
OUR YEAR
Thankfully St Andrew's managed to end the year 2023 with a financial surplus of over £6,000.
That was in spite of rising costs, repairs to the tower and the loss of some families. We were
helped by some large donations and continuing fund-raising efforts by many loyal members.
Some group activities are continuing in 2024 but sadly others are on hold. The Men's group is
not meeting. The Breathe youth group is not currently running and there is no Sunday school
at present. However, we are able to rejoice in the continuing success of Messy Church and the
Little Friends group for mothers or carers with tiny children. The Mothers. Union branch is
flourishing as are the Friendship Teas and the Craft Corner.
The Church
St Andrew's Church is a Grade11 Listed building. The church was rebuilt in 1907, but its 13th century
tower was retained and now holds eighl bells. In more recent years the church has had a new roof,
new electrical wiring and sound and projection equipment. The pews have been replaced wilh chairs
and the old organ has been replaced with an electronic one. The main entrance now has glass inner
doors and new steps and railings enhance it even more. The floor was refurbished in 2019.
The church is siluated on Main Street, Countesthorpe, LEICESTER LE8 5QX. and is part of the Four
Saints Benefice, with Foston, Pealling Magna and Willoughby Waterleys.
There is a church hall Galled The Cornerstone. The church's premises at 1 Main Street, next to the
hurch, include a shop and a flat, both let to tenants, and The Bridge building, which has toilets, the
Ghurch office, the Rainbow Shop and a meeting room. The Rainbow Shop is run by volunteers from St
Andrew's, other local churches and the community and it raises funds for the interdenominational
harity Christian Aid. Visitors Can be sure of a cup of tea and a Ghat there. The Bridge meeting room is
used by a number of organisations as well as the church itself. The PCC is still paying regular
instalments of the loan from the Diocese for the Bridge building.
The Church's Mission
The Parochial Church Council (PCCI CO•operates with the Minister in promoting in the Parish the whole
mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelical, social and ecumenical.
Mission Statement
We wish to be
a transformed people who love God and each other,
a people set on fire by the Gospel of Jesus Christ,
a community that wants to share His Story with everyone we can,
seed-lhrowers and fire-starters. hope-peddlers and grace-givers. risk-takers and dreamers.
young and old.
We aim
lo seek the lost, empower the poor, strengthen Ihe weak, embrace the outcast.
We want
to serve together, play together, worship togelher, pray together, laugh together, cry together,
learn together and live life together,
lo grow as a church in numbers and in loving seNice
and to see our village changed by the love God has given to us to share.
The funding needed comes mainly f rom the donations of individuals and a few f undraising initiatives
during the year. Much of the upkeep of the Comerstone and No 1 Main Street is funded by rent and
fees for lettings. A Parish Contribution is paid to the Diocese of Leicester for the salaries of Ihe
stipendiary clergy and central services.

Worship and Groups
From the beginning of June 2023 the pattern of services changed. subject to review in the summer cf
2024. Instead of services on a Sunday (Holy Communion al 9am and Morning Praise at 11am)
there is now only one service - alternating between Holy Communion at 9am and Morning Praise at
11am. Mid-week Holy Communion is still held at 9.30am on Thursdays. Morning Prayer is said in
church at 8am from Tuesday to Saturday and there is a weekly Evening Prayer al the Vicarage on a
AnnRepFOr￿23

Wednesday. 'Messy Church, is held on the third Saturday of each month. If there is a frfth Sunday in
the month just one service is held in one church in the Benef ice, in turn. This seNice is well attended
and at other times some St Andrew's members attend seNices in the other churches of the Benefice.
Home Communion is provided for those who cannot get to church and this includes ministry to the
Cherrytree Residential Care Home. There is a Whats App prayer and support group. The church has
mid-week groups for Bible study and prayer. There is a regular Crafl Group.
The tower team ring the bells before Sunday morning services and for weddings. They also ring at St
Mary's Church, Willoughby Waterleys. There is a regular organist at the gam service and singers and
musicians lead the music at 11am. When they are not available the small sound and projection team
are able to show pre-recorded song videos.
Currently there is no Sunday School and the youth group Breathe is on hold.
St Andrew's has a long-established Mothers, Union branch, whiGh has a full programme of monthly
meetings, including the Rally in October hosted by St Andrew's. The church lakes part in the annual
ecumenical World Day of Prayer service in earfy March.
The Men's Group called MAFIA {Men And Faith In Action) met for part of 2023, but is paused al the
moment.
New members are welcomed to our groups.
Outreach to the Community
Funerals and weddings take place in St Andrew's Church and the11.00am seNice sometimes includes
a baptism. On these occasions St Andrew's endeavours to offera welcomeand ongoing pastoral care.
StAndrew's hosls the Remembranceserviceforlhe whole village. in the churchyard, where the village
War Memorial is situated. It includes the Scouts and Guides groups, parade. The Scouts held their
carol service in the church in 2023 and some of their activities take place in St Andrew's Bridge building.
The annual Service of Light was held on Advent Sunday 2023. This is a service when people are
enabled to remember their loved ones.
The churchwas opened forthe village Christmas lights switch-on. A carol seNice was held in Decemb
and on Christmas Eve there was a Christingle service and a Midnight Communion.
The Cornerstone and The Bridge are used regularly by church and OLrtside groups. There are
'Friendship Teas. on a Monday aftemoon. On a Thursday aftern(x)n during term time there is a group
alled knftle Friends, for mothers or carers with tiny children.
As mentioned, the Rainbow Shop offers a welcome. It sent £14,500 to Christian Aid in 2023.
The Bridge garden is a quiet space accessible to the community, with a dedicaled team to maintain it.
As a founder member of the Countesthorpe Foodbank the church continues to support it. Similarly we
support the Community Fund for which money is raised by the collection of newspapers.
Safeguarding and Other Policies

Safeguarding Officer, Dave McAughey. The PCC has adopted the House of Bishops, Guidance. It has

Church & The Bridge Facebook page and a St Andrew's Church Facebook group. The church also
ontributes a section in the local village newspaper, with the Baptist and Methodist churches the
newspaper is delivered free to every home and is available online. There is a weekly news sheel fcr
church members called What's On Where (WOW), which is also on the benefice website.
Financial Review
Our surplus forthe yearwas achieved thanks to generous donations and church members. hardworking
fund-raising efforts, for which we are very grateful. We managed lo meet all our f inancial obligations.
including the f ull Parish Contribution to the Diocese and paying off a f urther £12,000 of the Diocesan
loan taken out a few years ago for our building project. There was a balance left on the loan of £74.000
at the end of the year, which is due to be repaid by around the end of 2029. The Balance Sheet is
AnnRepFOr￿23

looking healthy with net current assets of £15,376. The acquisition of a Card Reader for church
collections, and the promotion of the Parish Giving Scheme (direct debils}, have helped to facilitate
people's giving and Gift Aid administration. A Deanery Outreach Grant of £400 was applied for and
received, to help with outreach. primarily to the Ukrainians hosted in the village. The Rainbow Shop
has had one of ils most successful years ever, raising £14,500 to send to Christian Aid.
Looking ahead, it appears that income will be less in the coming year, because of fewer regular givers,
but expenses will be higher. Last year we increased our offer of Diocesan Contribution as requested,
as they were facing significant budgeting constraints and we are aiming io ensure we cover the cosl
our Rector. Also we will need to cover at least some of the costs of work needed imminently on our
buildings. And we would like to have sufficienlfunds lo do more outreach lo the community. Sowe are
starting the new yearwith a reasonable level of reserves for now, bul a deficit budget. We are prayerfulty
considering what we can do to try to boost funds to cover the expected shortfall.
