Rector’s Report

Looking back over the course of this last year, my own greatest personal encouragement has been the great sense of fellowship and unity among the St. Peter’s Church Family. Some might say that it comes from uniting against a common foe (ie COVID), but I think it’s more than that. As I look around, there’s a stronger love and concern for one another and, indeed, a greater love for God, and an expectation when we come to church, a greater desire to know him more, and to experience his love and presence. All of which has manifested in a deeper reverence and praise and united worship. And for that I am delighted and very thankful to God.

At the same time, I have been aware of many church members who have gone, or are going through some very tough times– often without fuss, often silently. Sometimes these trials are related to COVID directly, but sometimes they’re just the result of living in this broken world. Even so, such trials have been exacerbated by living through a pandemic, with greater uncertainty and distress than usual. We need to continue, therefore, to show God’s grace, patience and compassion towards one another.

Throughout the year we have tried to implement the maxim from the world of mountaineering: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” We have gone deliberately slowly to ensure that we have enabled the vast majority of the church family to feel confident to return to church. We have now dispensed with the requirement for masks while encouraging an awareness of people around us who might still choose to wear masks. And it has been lovely to be singing again free of face coverings. It has also been really encouraging to begin returning to some sense of normality with more face-to-face meetings, instead of Zoom.

But we are still feeling the effects of the pandemic. Last year I talked about where we go from here, as we begin to come out of lockdown and adapt to the new world. I talked about the need to move forward with care and caution and not rush back into great activity. And I think the same could be said this year. It has been said that it could take 10 years for society as a whole to feel we’re out of the woods, when people stop talking about it. But what I would encourage, however, is an attempt to rebuild friendships and relationships that we’ve lost. This pandemic has been dubbed the “loneliness pandemic” and for good reason. We got so used to self-isolation, that even if we’ve managed to maintain relationships with our nearest and dearest many people have lost that slightly wider circle of friends that we saw regularly or semi-regularly. They’ve become mere acquaintances. It’s been the cost of isolation.

And it’s important to remember that God has built us for relationships. And again, for some more cautiously than others, I think it’s important for our mental health and our general well-being that we plan to see people a little bit more, and visit those wider friends for a drink or a meal.

It is customary at this meeting to say some words of thanks. So let me express my thanks once again to our 2 churchwardens, Peter and Lorraine, for their hard work and service to the church in so many ways often behind the scenes, and to Paul Shannon (as Assistant Warden), and to all the PCC. To all those who have visible and practical jobs – taking care of the hygiene, the tidiness, the maintenance of the church, the Church Hall, and churchyard, and the many other jobs that go on behind the scenes - the money, the music, the refreshments, and so on. And thank you to all of you for every time you bring your godly characteristics and gifts to serve one another in love for the building up of the church family. Each and every one of you is part of this family. Each and every one of you is beloved by God and important to him and us.

Let me finish with a small plea. In the last 12 months we’ve also lost three stalwarts of the church (David Morgan-Jones, Alan Muir and David Andrews) all of whom in their time served the church with great enthusiasm and joy. And like any church, we’re always looking to a younger generation to take up some of the jobs that need doing. It seems that in all corners of society, finding helpers and volunteers has become really hard. Many volunteers have retired, they’ve had enough. And fair enough. They’ve often give years of service. Let me invite the next generation to at least consider how you can offer to serve the Church and take on some small area of responsibility, so that we spread the load and the burden doesn’t fall on just one or two people.

Revd Jules Beauchamp

Treasurer’s Report

Year End fnancial position and signifcant movements (2021 accounts)

Total funds at the end of 2021 stood at £35,428.52. There were however arrears of Parish Share payments amounting to £14,000.

General Fund – up by £8,321.08

Fabric Fund – down by £3000

Churchyard Fund – up by £334.50

 Donations received more than covered new mower, servicing cost and additional fencing

Organ Fund – down by £438 to £5080.89

FM Bate Memorial Fund – unchanged

Parish Development Fund – down by £100

The accounts were independently examined by Mike Brereton. I would like to thank him for carrying out this task. I would also like to thank Richard Morgan-Jones for his assistance in preparing the year end balance sheets.

Further developments during 2022

Based on the the year end balance of the General Fund, reducing receipts and increasing expenditure, it was decided to again offer the Diocese a reduced payment of the Parish Share. The Parish Share for 2022 is £51,420 i.e. £4,285 per month the PCC currently pay £3290.15 per month (about 77%) so if this continues Parish Share arrears will increase by almost £12K

During 2021 and 2022 members of our Church family have continued to give generously and we are thankful that some members have increased

their monthly giving via the bank. The Cathedral Challenge has raised almost £1,000 to date.

Diana Hill (Treasurer)

Church Warden 2021-22

My second year such a lot has happened, and exciting things are afoot for next year. I met two new Bishops, Bishop Mark when he came to consecrate the new church graveyard in May. I managed not to hit him with my warden’s stave! The weather was glorious that day and a great turnout of folk. Then Bishop Julie came to the confirmation service, which was a lovely occasion. I enjoy seeing previous Sunday club members taking that step to fully committing to God. It’s lovely to be back in church, holding services and generally enjoying the beautiful church we have. I enjoy meeting and greeting everyone at the various services. Particularly the Remembrance service and our Christmas celebrations. I have mastered the altar frontals and candle and various behind the scenes things.

I look forward to further serving St Peters family alongside my fellow Churchwarden Peter.

Lorraine Booth Church Warden.

Fabric, Goods and Ornaments.

The results of the 2020 Quinquennial Inspection were reported at the last APCM. The minor issues raised about loose mortar and shaling still await attention as does the improvement of the guards on some windows.

Our architect was invited to produce a scheme to address the problem of rainwater occasionally entering via the kitchen door. The PCC approved his recommendation that a rainwater drain be installed adjacent to the door and that certain modifications were made to the pathway leading to this door. A quotation from a local contractor for this work has been accepted and we await a date for commencement.

The wooden cross on the roof of the nave was blown down in a winter storm. Our architect has produced a drawing of a replacement and is seeking quotations for the installation.

A faculty application was granted for the inclusion of a sandstone bird bath in the churchyard. The only condition stipulated by the Diocese is that no precedent is set and this should be the only bird bath allowed.

The church notice board was blown down in another winter storm. The PCC is giving consideration to a suitable replacement but in the meantime a repair of the damaged notice board is being undertaken by Andrew Bate.

A new flag pole has been erected on the tower and two new flags have been purchased; a Union Flag and a St George Flag.

The Burley Memorial Hall Report.

(This report is compiled from the notes, minutes and diaries of the late Mr David Andrews).

In the 2021 APCM Report we noted a very gradual return of hirers as the Covid protocols became more familiar and acceptable. This slow return to normality continued throughout the year with bookings gradually increasing and confidence in the safeguards and the hirer's guidelines growing. By the beginning of 2022 there was evidence of an almost full return to the pre-covid level of bookings.

The accounts for 2021, in particular the level of income, indicate that over the year the bookings were only one third of what would be expected in a pre-pandemic year. We look forward to a healthier balance sheet in 2022. Hire rates were increased by 5% from 1st January 2022

The maintenance of the building remains a priority for the Management Committee. The external redecoration of the Hall was completed in August and the internal painting will be completed later this year. A new boiler has been fitted in the kitchen and an outside contractor has been engaged to trim the hedges and prune the shrubs.

We are extremely grateful to Mrs Coral Candlin who has taken on board much of the work which, in recent months, David Andrews had been unable to cope with and we all mourn the recent very sad loss of David who had been Steward/ Manager of the Burley Hall since 2006.

Bell Tower Report 2021-22

Since being back ringing on Sundays and having a practice night from November 2021 we have found that most of our ringers have come back which is very encouraging. We continue to ring for the Sunday service and any weddings or funerals as needed. Most Sundays we can ring all 8 bells which is a great achievement and something not all churches can do.

Our tower is now fully equipped with the necessary fittings to enable us to ring silently whilst practising methods or using it to teach bell handling. This means for training days we can ring all day and not bother the neighbours.

We were saddened this April by the death of our long serving and previous Tower Captain David Andrews. We rang the bells muffled before his funeral and then open ringing afterwards. There have been various quarter peals in his memory since.

We are encouraged by several new and newish ringers who came back having just learnt before lockdown. They are coming along nicely and a renewed interest in the bells carries on.

Lorraine Booth, Tower Captain.

Sunday Club 2021-22

Sunday Club is for the children of St Peters; we hold one session a month usually the third Sunday. This is working extremely well and on average we have 3-4 children at each session. There are 6 children on the books. Two of the previous members of Sunday club were confirmed this year too, always lovely to see how they have grown into full members of the church.

I try to follow the set readings for that week to align with what’s happening in church. I use a variety of resources but mainly “On the way” this has set lessons and activities for 3 age groups which is very useful.

I appreciate all the love and prayers we get from the St Peters Family. My thanks go to Judy Moulds and Elisabeth Shannon for helping at the sessions.

Lorraine Booth, Sunday club.

Safeguarding Report for APCM 22[nd] May 2022

Safeguarding is at the heart of the Christian faith and the Church of England House of Bishops 'Safeguarding Policy and Practice Guidance' details these policies.

The Parish Handbook, under the title of Promoting a Safer Church has been prepared to give day to day guidance of the parish requirement s to fully support safeguarding work in our parish.

Key Messages adopted by the PCC are :

Policy and Procedures

We now follow the Policy and Procedures set out in the Parish Handbook issued by the Diocese of Chester in January 2019.

The Parish Safeguarding policy and the requirements below were last approved by the PCC in March 2022. In so doing the PCC has complied with the duty to have ‘due regard’ to the House of Bishops guidance in relation to safeguarding.

The Parish Safeguarding Checklist is completed by myself as Parish Safeguarding Officer(PSO), Rev Beauchamp ( Incumbent ) and Peter Williams (Churchwarden). There are no outstanding matters.

The Principles of Safer Recruitment are adopted.

Information is displayed in Church, Burley Hall and on the parish website of how to contact the Incumbent, Diocesan Safeguarding Officer, myself as PSO and how to get help outside the church with matters relating to child and adult safeguarding issues.

Safeguarding arrangements are on the front page of the Parish website.

Training

Effective safeguarding training is one of the main elements to drive the ambition for make a safer and healthier Church. There is a comprehensive programme of training for all members of the Clergy and our rector has recently completed Level 3 .

Much of the training has moved online and all PCC Members are now required to complete the Basic Awareness training. All those involved in work with Children

and young people and vulnerable Adults are required to also complete level 2 -Foundation- which is also online. This is on-going.

Those running groups are required to attend a level 3 course- Leadership- and I have now also completed this Level.

This equips us to be alert to any issue of Safeguarding and to be responsive and appropriate in the actions we take in response.

Risk Assessments

Annual assessments have been completed for each activity involving children and young People – Sunday Club and Junior Bellringing. These are reviewed as needs and arrangements change.

DBS

DBS checks are up to date. New checks have recently been completed in anticipation of the Holiday Club in August 2022

St Peters PCC has taken a decision not to complete DBS checks for all PCC Members but the training requirements are required.

Safeguarding incidents

There have been no reported incidents of Safeguarding concern through the year from the last APCM in May 2021 to this ACPM in May 2022

PCC discussion

Safeguarding will remain a standing item on the agenda of all PCC Meetings

Judith Moulds, Parish Safeguarding Officer

MOTHERS’ UNION REPORT 2021/2022

Our first meeting in 2021 was held in October in the Burley Hall (main hall with windows open and sitting socially distanced). It was rather chilly and we had plenty room to move around for our small group. We had a lovely meeting and everyone enjoyed being together again for fellowship and chat with tea and cake.

We did make Christingles in November for the Christingle Service and had our usual meeting followed by a ‘Saintly Quiz. In December six of our members met in The Grosvenor, Aldford for lunch. Our meeting in January was again in the main hall, when the Revd. Jules Beauchamp came and celebrated Holy Communion. The AGM was held in February,

Unfortunately and with great sadness I reported that these last months had taken a toll on our membership. Sadly Margaret Hulme died in July and in December Jenifer Sutherland and her husband Maurice moved into a Care Home in Huntington. We now have only ten members in our Branch.

The Mother’s Union theme for 2022 is ‘Transformation – Now’. Something to think about and what are we going to do about it? With so few members in our Branch it is very difficult to arrange speakers for our meetings. At the moment attendance at our meetings is five or maybe six due to various reasons. In Malpas Deanery there are now only three MU Branches.

At our March meeting which was the day before St. Patrick’s Day I shared some thoughts about St. Patrick from his writings ending with St. Patrick’s prayer. For our April meeting some of our members met at Ruth Clarke’s house in Aldford. This month (May) we are meeting in Church for the ‘Wave of Prayer’ when we lift our members all over the world in prayer, supporting all they do. Each Branch has a set time for prayer, and we are meeting in the Lady Chapel on the 18[th ] 2.20pm to 2.40pm then continuing our meeting in the Burley Hall.

As you will have gathered from this report the MU is struggling in Waverton. (Although we aren’t the only ones) . We need new members now to keep our Branch alive. We are a very friendly group and new members would be very welcome. If you would like to know more about the MU and our Branch meetings please get in touch with me - both men and women can be members!

Eveline Davies (Branch Leader)

Churchyard Report

2021 May – May 2022 has continued in what is now the new normal.

Tom Bramall’s stock are grazing the southerly half of the new area. The part to the north, which has been consecrated, is the area we will be using first. The sapling trees planted at the Church end are thriving. This un-consecrated area has been worked on extensively over the period and is now sown to a wild flower seed mixture. The southern area’s southern boundary is planted with volunteer holly sprigs salvaged from the gravel paths round the Church. They have now established and seem to be thriving. A ‘mulching’ mower has been acquired, funded by the donation from the Waverton Parish Council, and is in regular use, particularly in the area being developed. There are still a few spaces for graves left in the now ‘older’ churchyard to use before burials and cremated remains begin in the above. There has also been added a new birdbath feature.

It reduces the load on our workforce if people will take home the remains of what they decorate their family graves with once it is over.

Recently we lost one of our stalwart workers in Alan Muir. However his family are still supporting our efforts by continuing with the area they used to look after together. The area mown by Roger Morris has been taken over by Neil Holmes after Roger retired from it.

It is quite motivating for our workforce to feel that the work of St. Peter’s volunteers is valued by other than just the immediate Church family. It would be prohibitively expensive to employ outside contractors to do it.

The usual closing remarks –

The ‘green tips’ are really only for the grass mowings. Please take withered floral and other finished-with decorations back home with you to dispose of, particularly post Christmas.

Anything which reduces the workload of the workers/carers is welcomed.

As always a big thank you is due to our band of volunteers (listed below) who keep the whole Churchyard looking as it does. It is far easier to keep the mowing machines working like new than keeping the workers feeling like new! It only needs a willing pair of hands.

Andrew Bate.

Roll of voluntary workers in 2021 - 2022

Joyce Day, Mike Nield, Gareth Evans-Jones, Alan Muir, Wendy Lloyd ably assisted by her son Ewan, Harry Pearson, Martin Warburton, John Harding, Freda Downes, Roy Willis, Simon Bate, Ann Bate, John Burgess, Andrew Bate and (new in 2022) Neil Holmes.

Deanery Synod Report

The Synod normally meets three times a year with meetings hosted by churches around the Deanery.

In April 2021, as reported last year, the meeting was via Zoom. At that meeting the new Rural Dean, Rev Tim Hayward, Vicar of St Boniface, Bunbury was introduced and Marion Randles, the Lay Chair, advised that her term of office had concluded.. Nominations were sought for her replacement and at the Deanery Synod meeting, held in the Swan Hotel, Tarporley, on 28th September, the new Lay Chair was announced. Mr Phillip Posnett will now assume that role for the next three years.

A joint meeting of the Malpas and Chester Deanery Synods was held on April 26th at St Mary's Handbridge at which a presentation "Everyday Faith" was the main item. Everyday Faith is a Church of England initiative to encourage, equip an d enable one another to live out the good news of Jesus and follow him with confidence in all areas of our lives every day of the week.

The next meeting of the Malpas Deanery Synod will be on 29th September in the Burley Hall, when St Peter's church will be the hosts.

It is my responsibility to:-

Basis of Independent Examiner's statement

My examination has been carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission.

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items of disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

I report on the accompanying accounts for the year ended 31[st] December

2021

Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner

It is my responsibility to:-

Basis of Independent Examiner's statement

My examination has been carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission.

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items of disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

Independent Examiner's Statement

In connection with my examination, the following matter came to my attention: -

M.E. Brereton CPFA, Retired

Accountant 7, Millers Close, Waverton Chester CH3 7QE
