2020 Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council St James and Emmanuel Churches, New Brighton

Aim and purposes

St James with Emmanuel Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, the Reverend Heather Atkinson, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

Objectives and Activities

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at St James with Emmanuel. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and the Parish Development Group (a subgroup of the PCC) makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. An area we feel we need to develop is ministry for young people. So far, we have implemented an all-age service at St James and have developed Fun Food and Friendship for school children during the holidays where they receive a meal, craft activities and Christian thought, which has carried on until February half term when we were stopped by Covid19 restrictions. Due to Covid19, working with schools was not possible other than by our participation in Bridging the Wallasey Gap. (See Organisation Reports) When things are back to normal, we will resume strengthening our ties. At the Parish Development Group, we have begun to look at youth work in other parishes with a view to learning from them. Initial conversations have been made regarding meeting with the older children (11+). we plan to hold more exploratory meetings when Covid19 restrictions permit. Sam Rowan is helping with this.

Vision of our Leading your Church into Growth Plan (LyCiG)

The Parish has a mission statement: -Together in Prayer, Worship, Community Care and Outreach. The aim is to be a growing church both in spirituality, numbers and unity and to be confident in our faith through the engagement of the mission statement.

When planning our activities for the year, we have continued working on the Leading Your Church into Growth (LyCiG) plan which we initially developed together as the Lent group back in 2018. This document is flexible and transformative. People can openly suggest other ideas which can be taken to the PDG to develop. We try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:

To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Churches of St. James and Emmanuel

A) Worship and Church Buildings

Aims: - To continue to be welcoming churches and encourage worship across all ages.

During lockdown some all age services have been used where children have been involved. Revd. Heather has also sent notification of the Church of England weekly assemblies to our young people.

The following will be reinstated once C19 regulations allow:

An All-Age Service has been implemented at St. James which is advertised to all baptism families by email. A quarterly healing service at Emmanuel has been implemented with a Taizé style service alternating with Holy Communion.

Creativity in intercessions continues to be worked on.

2020 Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council St James and Emmanuel Churches, New Brighton

We haven’t forgotten children in worship, i.e. at least one hymn to be child friendly before they go to or return from Sunday School has been implemented.

The use of Testimonies in services has been implemented.

Book reviews have been started at the Healing Service. A Case for Christ, a book and film that Revd. Heather mentioned during lockdown was well received.

A new screen needs to be set up at St James, this may need to be done in stages. Ie screen and projector first with appropriate console. Other monitors second e.g. for choir. We have obtained two quotes and looking to obtain a third once we can visit more churches who have such an audiovisual system. The balance of sound at St. James needs to be reviewed long term.

B.) Care and Fellowship Aim: To deepen existing relationships and build on our links with the community. This will enable transformation to happen on different levels

Everyone on the electoral roll has been contacted during lockdown. Over the next 5 years we need to ensure pastoral care to be kept on top of with the congregation working together with Revd. Heather as we cannot expect her to see everyone. Care is everyone’s responsibility to ensure a growing church still feels cared for. We need to work on further developing the pastoral care groups already started.

Home Communions to be offered where necessary so people can still receive a service when they are ill. Currently only Revd. Heather has been doing this because of C19 restrictions and she has tried to ring as many people up from the electoral role.

Funeral follow up: - Bereaved families are asked if they would like to have a post funeral visit. Bereavement visits where necessary are already taking place.

Welcome people moving into the area: A welcome pack for community and visitors to church is being slowly being developed. This extends pastoral care to the newest members of the community and gives presence. New people will know what is going on better.

Electoral roll follow up is still being developed.

Oversight of all congregation and newcomers to continue. It has been a great encouragement to welcome new people into our congregation.

Both churches have been accepted into the Places of Welcome scheme, Emmanuel on a Saturday morning and St James on a Thursday but this has been put on hold due to Covid19 restrictions.

Revd. Heather is also a member of the Coastal Committee which has continued to meet via Zoom. She has suggested to the local RNLI that they let her know when they have been called out so that they can be included in prayer.

Other suggestions have included: Valentines’ dinner Epiphany party Car Boot sale or Auction Get involved with Love New Brighton Quiz at the pub Cruise liner evening A meal with a Christian speaker Outings Beetle drive Film nights Socials as opportunities to invite people outside of the church Strawberry pick with strawberry tea with a service Songs of Praise with meaning of hymns explained

During 2020 Revd. Heather worked closely with Vale Park Café making sure those, shielding or vulnerable had a chance to receive a treat meal on a Friday.

c) Prayer and Spirituality: Aim to deepen existing faith within the congregation and to enable the community to know that they can ask for prayers

Testimony and Bible Notes will help, links to apps etc.

To encourage prayer for the church and growth. A bookmark of LYCIG prayer has been made and will be put out when C19 restrictions permit)

To mention any useful course in the pew sheet. (Ongoing) Members of leadership teams have been completing safeguarding courses online and Revd. Heather has been circulating daily readings and material from the Church of England.

The Lady Chapel at St James has been changed to be a practical place for prayer for all who come.

Votive candles have been put in place at St James and pebble bowl at Emmanuel.

Prayer walks around the Parish Boundary with tee-shirts and Picnic (flyers with service time make it become missional): still outstanding.

House groups: Two of the housegroups have met online during 2020 and all will continue when circumstances permit.

Monthly Prayer group at St James has met online and Prayer and Toast will continue when C19 restrictions permit.

Encourage members of the congregation to pray before a service which our choirs do already. Practical Prayer board at St. James

The Thy Kingdom Come initiative of praying for 5 people was completed as we met to pray in the various church groups.

An Alpha course took place with Sam Rowan and his household members. Sam has also been working within the parish exploring his call to Pioneer Ministry which he is doing at the Foundation for Ministry course. This has been supported by the PCC.

Achievements and Performance

Worship and Prayer

After lockdown, Revd. Heather learned how to video edit very quickly so we could have worship online, making the most of local, home and church settings when able. Once we were open for service, online services were still put on our YouTube channel for those unable to cone to church. Initially before services restarted both churches were open for private prayer.

We did a special online service for VE day 2020 when Sheen Shaw shared her wartime memories. Midweek at Emmanuel, we started the ‘Be Thou My Breast Plate’ reflections based on the prayer of Fursa.

The Lifeboat service was done online and our reader Mike joined Heather to film a service at the cenotaph for Remembrance Sunday

Our Special Lives service was able to take place and was also filmed for those who couldn’t attend.

There were two weddings at St James in 2020.

Five Funerals took place at St James, three at Emmanuel in 2020 and thirteen funerals took place at the Crematorium, made all the more emotional due to C19 restrictions.

All are welcome to attend our regular services. At present there are 142 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll following the revision in October 2020.

Christmas: a special alternative Carol service was held at St James with 66 people attending. 34 attended at the midnight Eucharist on Christmas Eve. At Emmanuel, the Christmas Tree Service was able to take place

2020 Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council St James and Emmanuel Churches, New Brighton

with a limited number of families doing Christmas crafts in the afternoon. The Christingle service also took place with the maximum of 56 people attending. Emmanuels choir also took to the streets near the church to sing carols which was well received.

Generally, the service attendances were 20-30 at both churches with a good attendance midweek at Emmanuel. Other people shielding have watched online services. During the first lockdown, numbers exceeded 100 and whilst church has been open 30-40 people have watched online and more during special occasions.

Lent Course

For Lent in 2020 we watched the film: The Greatest Showman and Bible Studies groups were formed on Mondays 2pm and 7.30pm based on the film. This was well received but had to finish early with covid lockdown happening. People had their own books for the course.

Deanery Synod Meetings 2020

Only one Synod meeting took place during 2020 before the first Coronavirus lock-down. This was held on 11[th] February 2020 at Harrison Hall, St Nicholas, Wallasey. Three clergy and 8 laity were present. These people represented St James with Emmanuel, St Luke, Christchurch, St Nicholas and St Chads.

Synod opened with worship and ended with business matters concerning Diocesan Synod etc. but the main part was led by our invited guest speaker Jonathan Masters, who is the Youth, Children and Families Missioner for Chester diocese. He made an excellent presentation based around the question - “How can we encourage faith in young people, and help them develop faith for themselves?” He shared personal experience of working with children and young people, drew on the wisdom of others working in the field and gave Synod ample opportunities to share the experiences of our parishes, and to ask ourselves searching questions about our understanding of and attitudes towards children and young people today. He told us that young people want to be involved and included in the life of the church and encouraged us to invite young people to a PCC meeting to tell us what they want.

Synod meetings will resume on Tuesday 11 May 2021 on Zoom.

Representatives: Helen Harvey, Sara Sullivan to October 2020, Sally Giles from October 2020

Fabric Report of both churches

St James Church: A Report upon the Fabric, Goods and Ornaments

The purpose of this report is to describe the structural condition of the Church building and assess the state of the furnishings and embellishments.

Firstly, may we assure the meeting that the general state of the furnishings and embellishments in the church remain in excellent condition. Access to roof areas has been enhanced by the newly commissioned door to the chancel roof area and the pigeon nuisance is no more.

The church’s bell was in use for much of the year but required attention due to the stretch of the wire. For a good while in 2020 the holding of church services had to be suspended in line with government Covid19 restrictions. This meant that the dedicated and hard-working team that clean the church every week were excluded. However, they deserve our thanks for the sterling service they had put in up to then and on the occasions that they have been involved since the partial relaxation of the rules since then.

During the year we purchased a silver-plated ciborium from which the host may be distributed during Holy Communion.

Emmanuel Fabric report.

Much of the year was spent investigating ingress of water over the balcony area. Several roofing contractors were tasked to find the leakage, all of whom confirmed that the roof was fine. One contractor noticed that some of the window beadings showed signs of rot and water may be leaking through the window seals. Having contacted a company that specialises in wood we had scaffold erect to investigate closer and sure enough extensive rot was found and has been eradicated but that will be reported in next year’s report. Other than this the building, being closed for much of the year, and artefacts are in good order. The statuary inspections have all been kept up to date during lockdown:

Organisational Reports

House groups

Vicarage House Group

Due to lockdown, the Vicarage house group didn’t meet until we could meet outside as a 6 in September 2020. Those who wished then met on Zoom for the remainder of the year looking at Jesus Shaped People and the Holy Spirit.

Revd. Heather

Montpelier House Group

Thanks to Zoom, Peter and Barbara's home group has continued to meet each week on Wednesday evenings, through the lockdown. There are usually four members (Kizzie, Margaret, Lee and Cliff) plus ourselves and we catch up with news etc. have a Bible study led by Peter. We may sing a song, share our faith journey, have a laugh and pray for each other. It's been good and helpful to each of us. If you would like to join us, please let us know.

(Peter, Cliff and Lee also zoom together on Monday evenings to further study the Bible.)

Peter and Barbara Jordan

Rockpoint House Group

Met until lockdown but has kept in touch since by tradition means.

Ron Jones

Vestry Prayer Group 2020

The Prayer group with its handful of faithful participants met until lockdown in mid-March. Our prayer intentions are generally our churches, church groups and activities, our church family and all who live in our parish and local area. We resumed prayer meetings by Zoom in December 2021, initially with 4 participants, but since January there have been 8 or 9 people praying each month.

Angela Adams

Vicarage Prayers and Toast

Instead of prayers with toast at the vicarage, we set up a WhatsApp group with 6 members, praying together on Tuesdays at 4.30pm

2020 Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council St James and Emmanuel Churches, New Brighton

A Report from Sam Rowan

A lot has happened since 2016, when I initially "sensed a call" to ministry within the Church of England. Last March, I successfully completed and passed the Foundation for Ministry course. This is a course run by the Diocese of Chester as a required foundation step for anyone wanting to become a Reader or Pastoral Worker, or in my case, a recommended but optional foundation step to exploring ordained ministry. August last year, I had a Zoom "chat" with the DDV (Diocesan Director of Vocations) to further discuss my "sense of calling" and following that, I was officially welcomed to begin a "Formal Discernment Process" with the intention of eventually being trained to become an "Ordained Pioneer Minister" (information about this role can be found on the Church of England website).

Since September, I have been assigned a "mentor" who helps me with this year or two long process of working towards a BAP (Bishops Advisory Panel (which is an interview for training) . At the same time, I signed up to NWGP (Northwest Gospel Partnerships), a bible teaching college in order to really deepen my understandings of the scriptures.

My Discernment Process so far has included a lot of reading and writing and opportunities to teach. It has been wonderful, as well as very challenging.

My heart lies in building connections. I feel called to bring church and to bring the transforming love and power of Almighty God, Jesus and Holy Spirit into the community. To do this creatively and relevantly yet, without compromise.

I've been asked to gain more experience in delivering short sermons, and developing my confidence up front. I'm a very practical person and my strengths lie in "doing" and in one-to-one conversations. Please pray for me as I look to grow in boldness with my public speaking (all for His names' sake!). Thank you to everyone for your friendship, kindness and support.

Sam Rowan

Foodbanks

St James : I would like to thank all the volunteers who readily give up their time for such a worthwhile cause who come from St James, Claremount Methodist and others. We were able to give all who came to us for food, time to talk and to signpost on where necessary. Our last Foodbank session at St James was 19[th] March 2020, thereafter Wirral Foodbank became part of the Emergency Food Hub at Bidston Tennis Centre where several of our volunteers participated. Summer 2020 saw the opening of the Grosvenor Hub for Wallasey and many of us volunteered there too, though that too was locked down in January 2021 due to rising Covid figures. Sue Chadwick

Emmanuel Foodbank: Up until the end of March 2020 we continued to operate the foodbank at Emmanuel. As with all foodbanks the need varied from week to week, but we were always aware that everybody coming needed both help and support. We realised that many found it a humiliating experience and we alleviated that with kindness and understanding. We had a large number of loyal volunteers and I would like to express my thanks for all their support. I hope that one day it might return.

David Worgan

Lunch Club:

Lunch Club continued to meet at Emmanuel on the first Tuesday of the first three months of 2020. We were also lucky to have a visit to the Floral Pavilion for the Chrysanthemums pantomime in January. Thanks go to Rosemary, Clare, Ronnie and Margaret for all their help and support.

Parish Development Report for 2020

The Parish Development Group meets bi-monthly alternating with PCC. Current members are: Revd. Heather Atkinson with Catherine Tunstall, Sara O’Sullivan, Ann Barlow, Rob O’Neil and Sam Rowan from Emmanuel and Sue Chadwick, Angela Adams, Helen Harvey and Keith Selby from St. James.

We remain the engine hub for Leading your Church into Growth, (LyCiG) implementing the local course and collating people’s ideas. The ideas so far are included in the annual report. It is important to have vision for the parish. Some ideas have been worked on already or are a work in progress. New ideas may be added, and some may not turn out to be the right ideas. It is a working document. During late 2020 we met online to plan Christmas and to further develop the pastoral groups, take further the discussion about the Screen for St James and to plan the way forward for youthwork.

Fun, Food and Friendship

We only hosted one session during 2020 before we were locked down.

We will need quite a number of willing volunteers to keep Food, Fun and Friendship sessions running efficiently and safely when we can restart; usually about 14 individuals. There are those who register the attendees, the cooks and kitchen assistants, those preparing the tables and serving the meals and drinks, the sandwich-makers, washer-uppers, those putting together the take-home teas for each child, the crafters and bible-story readers and we all join in with doing the clearing up! So, a big thank you to all of you who have helped in any way.

Helen Harvey and Sue Chadwick

Bridging the Wallasey Gap

Bridging the Wallasey Gap evolved from six local churches working together to support families over school holidays. Members are St Albans, St Josephs, St Andrews, Seacombe URC, St Mary’s and St James with Emmanuel. Because the churches could no longer host food and activities once lockdown started, we looked for grants to take food hampers and activity packs to families that needed them. We have generally helped 80-100 families during holidays and 25 families who need weekly support.

Sue Chadwick

St James Restoration Management Committee

The year started with the process to select a new architect following the demise of our previous architects, Lloyd Evans Prichard.

Eventually we ratified the appointment of Bernard Taylor Partnership with Adrian Pearson as the lead architect for our project, thus having the security of an excellent company with the continuity of the architect who steered us through the first two restoration phases.

Meetings have continued during Covid-19 restrictions using the virtual and ubiquitous Zoom on-line format. The year has been taken up with the development of Phase III. Adrian Pearson produced detailed drawings and photographs of the North Aisle/North Porch which are to be the main thrust of the next stage of restoration. Sections of internal wall plaster may be removed to allow the drying out process to continue. Additionally, we agreed that relocation of the stained glass window which is currently hidden by the toilet block, to the west end of the South Aisle should be included.

As the projected costs of Phase III will be around £300,000 it is essential that we are able to continue to gain access to external grant funds. The Heritage Lottery Fund had morphed into the National Lottery Heritage Fund during the year but there were only conceptual rules produced to give us an idea of the new bidding process for funds. The process was going to be radically different with a greater emphasis on community

engagement than ever before and become operational from 2021.

Involvement of the local population will be an important part of any successful bid so it was decided, to incorporate the development of a community garden around the church with a variety of major features. In particular we had in mind accessibility, especially for the partial or non-sighted. 2021 will be the 90[th] anniversary of the Guide Dogs for the Blind charity, especially poignant in that it was inaugurated in New Brighton.

We asked a company of landscape gardeners called Randall Thorp Landscape Architects. to provide us with a detailed proposal for developing the gardens around St James while incorporating a wish list provided to them and keeping the Biblical themes that we require.

Laurie Sangwin presented a very attractive and interesting set of designs for the garden in which we would look to develop certain parts of the plan, such as the pathways and ground works. The pathways would be to the same standard used by the National Trust.

In S pire Report

Like everywhere else, because of the Covid pandemic, fund raising activity at St James has been negligible. However, there is one individual from the “inSpire” Team who I would like to single out for her one-woman fund-raising efforts and that is Lesley McClellan. Throughout the year Lesley has been busily producing jams and preserves and has built up a quite a healthy customer base. She also made 100+ of her popular Easter chicks for the Wirral History & Heritage Fair on March 7th. Total raised by Lesley for the year was £538.00 On behalf of the “inSpire” Team - Angela Adams, Wendy Wilberforce, Mary Wright, Revd. Heather, Janet Budworth & Carole Hille : THANK YOU LESLEY

Sunday Schools

Mustard Seeds at St James

The last twelve months have been difficult for everyone and Helen and I would like to thank you for your prayers for our children and their families during this time. They have been very much on our hearts while they have struggled with home-schooling and separation from wider family and friends plus all the usual challenges of family life.

Although we haven’t been able to run our Sunday group each week there have been activities available for any youngsters attending church on our usual corner table.

I would like to mention our magazine editor, Jennifer Davies, who always includes ‘Mouse Makes’ each month in the church magazine. This has been a wonderful source of learning during ‘lockdown’, and it has been appreciated. Thank you, Jenny.

Now we are looking forward to September when we hope to be able to meet again and to be able to share God’s love through story, craft, and games.

Helen Jones

Sunday School at Emmanuel

This Sunday school year has been very different from previous years, due to the Covid19 pandemic. Our classes continued until lockdown in March 2020 and we continued to use the Scripture Union Teaching books for Sunday School and to link the teaching with the Gospel reading for the service. We managed to take the children to a pantomime at the Floral Pavilion in January 2020, which we all enjoyed, little knowing that this would be our last opportunity for a group outing for many months. Where possible, we have tried to involve the children in the activities listed below, throughout the church year, combining many with St James Mustard Seeds, being aware that the number of children who could be included, needed to be limited to allow for social distancing.

2020 Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council St James and Emmanuel Churches, New Brighton

In September, a few Emmanuel Sunday School children made a collage for the wall display in the Church to celebrate Harvest Festival.

The Sunday School teachers and Church members helped to run a craft workshop for the children to take part in, prior to Christmas. This was attended by a small group of 15 children, with various crafts based on a Christmas theme for the children to make. The craft sessions are a means by which the Sunday School Teachers promote Christian mission to the children in the local community.

The Christmas Tree Dressing Service followed the Craft morning, which the children to joined in with, all observing social distancing. On Christmas Eve, a small group of children were able to attend the Christingle Service at Emmanuel Church. The children and their parents enjoy taking part in these Church services and activities, which have become an inspiring part of the church calendar.

We hope to be able to restart Sunday School in September 2020, provided Government regulations allow this. Our Sunday School is open to children of all school ages, as well as little ones with their mums and dads, whose support we value. We welcome assistance from young people and adults, who may be interested in helping us with Emmanuel Sunday School.

St James Choir Report

Clearly the work of choir has been on hold since March 2020 when we sang the last service before lockdown and stopped our weekly practices. This remains the situation as we all long for a resumption of both our weekly singing duties and the social side of the choir, the benefit of which we all appreciate even more now. While we have stayed in touch on both social media and more traditional methods of communication, nothing beats that weekly meeting to share news. The scientists are still debating the safety of singing and we trust that, as cathedrals are making a tentative return to choral services, we may be able to join them as soon as it is safe to do so.

As the new year dawned, we still had no real idea of what was in store. Plans were made, especially for Easter. We would change the programme a little on Good Friday and include Malcolm Williamson’s “Procession of Palms”. The music was picked for Southwell ……

The choir took their part in normal worship in the first 10 weeks of the year when after which we went into first lockdown. When live services started in August, singing was not allowed. By October, when restrictions had eased a little, there was scope for limited activity with a very small group of singers supporting he service. Due to uncertainty about safety and doubts as to whether such easing would continue in the longer term, there was little singing activity among most members during this time. Tentative plans for the Christmas season were not put into operation as we all know that, as predicted, the restrictions were reimposed over Christmas and the New Year. As I write, we are hoping that they will finally be lifted. A big thank you to the skill of the scientists and the patience of the British people. As Christians we must surely see the work of God in all that has happened. His presence has guided the researchers and upheld the nation during these difficult times.

A small number of choir members were able to take part in a seasonal service in early December with professional guests. Apart from that, members have kept in touch using social media, email and good old fashioned telephone calls. There was even the opportunity to meet as daily walks happened to take the same route.

2020 Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council St James and Emmanuel Churches, New Brighton

The new lockdown regulations in January 2021 allowed places of worship to remain open for public services. There was still no singing permitted, but our organ playing team have ensured that there has been music at our services. While singing has not been authorised, the congregation have had the words of hymns which have acted as a basis for meditation as the tune is played through. These services have been attended by various choir members during the lockdown period. In April some relaxation allowed a small socially distanced choir to sing at the morning service. While on a rota system at present, it is hoped that this initiative can be expanded as restrictions are eased during the coming months.

I will not attempt to look forward. We all have hopes for future visits to some of our great cathedrals and restoration of our regular pattern. This will depend on a number of factors, so our main priority has to be to reconvene as many of our members as possible in a safe environment so that they can once again lead the worship of God in our beautiful church. This has to go hand in hand with permission for congregational singing and general “mingling” within worship. As I complete this most strange report, I must not forget our organists and musical team, John Tennant, John Hewitt and Katinka all of whom have been so loyal to our cause for these long months of lockdown. Their great reward will come as the choir can once again sing fully at all our services without restriction. I must also thank Richard who has acted as liaison in keeping the members updated through various media. All members have contributed in some way, with witty articles and comments, stories about church musicians far and near and adventures during the confines of lockdown. Richard has made sure that we all get to hear about them.

Steve Cottam

Parish Music Group

Like many organisations, the band had very few outings during the 2020 year. We managed to play for the January and February church parade services and whilst looking forward to the March Mothering Sunday services, the plug was pulled. Due to restrictions, the band has not met for rehearsal since.

Carers and Tots (St James)

We usually have our Carers and Tots on a Monday morning during term time but were forced to close with lockdown in March 2020. We hope that we will be able to open safely in September.

Janet, Hilary and Margaret

Little Hands (Emmanuel)

Little Hands is a Parents, Carers and Tots group in Emmanuel Church Hall on Tuesday mornings from 9.15 to 11.15am.

Due to the pandemic Little Hands or as more usually known locally 'Tots', closed down in March 2020 and has not been able to reopen yet. It is hoped we may be able to open for 6 weeks in June/July with limited numbers and without hot drinks. Please pray for wisdom for the leaders and giving thanks for those who have helped in the past.

Men’s Lunch Munch

The men of the parish, both young and old (young being under the age of 60) meet for lunch on the second Friday of each month at the Lighthouse in Wallasey Village.

We managed to enjoy 3 lunches together before the pandemic struck and put an end to our dining. But we are hoping that activities will be back to normal one Friday in 2021, so look out for the Grand Announcement. Following The Announcement please meet at 12.30pm at the Lighthouse.

Evening Ladies Fellowship

Usually, we meet at present on the second Thursday of the month to share and enjoy various social activities in the coffee area at Emmanuel Church area at Emmanuel Church although we also like to arrange trips to outside locations. Lockdown in March 2020 prevented this sadly.

The year ended with an evening of Christmas worship followed by refreshments. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who makes this special candlelit service possible. We look forward to another year. Perhaps you will join us? Vivienne Lythgoe

28[th] Wallasey Guides

We started the year with 19 girls on register. We celebrated Chinese New Year and started our Spread the Love badge. We made Valentines cards, bird feeders (to love our environment) and had a pamper evening as it is just as important to love yourself as well as others.

Unfortunately Covid hit and cancelled a lot of plans and putting Guiding on hold. Due to these circumstances and personal ones we were unable to meet, even online. This ended our bazaar year and updating training became a priority.

I would like to thank Cath and Lisa for all their hard work as without them we wouldn’t be able to meet. Hopefully 2021 will be better, with plans being kept.

Brownie Report

The Brownies started 2020 working towards their Network skills builder badge, which is all about teamwork. Then we went into lockdown! From Sept 2020 we were lucky enough to be able to start meeting via Zoom & were able to continue Brownie activities.

Beavers

This has been quite the year but some of our former Beavers have remained with us through some very different and difficult times. For this I would like to congratulate each Beaver who has stayed with us for showing such amazing resilience and thank all of the parents for their ongoing support and patience.

Some of you may be aware that our amazing Beaver Leader, Kelly, has taken a step back from leading our Beavers for a while to welcome a new life into the world. This was a big change for our young Beavers, leaving myself (Kizzie) to step up and take on the role of Beaver Leader. As you can imagine, this was a big difference for the Beavers and myself. Then lock down struck. We had to come up with a new way to deliver an exciting programme for our Beavers. We decided to start Zooming! Some children found this quite difficult to start with but we soon got into the swing of things and enjoyed completing badges once again.

Our Young Leader, Tom, became our Assistant Beaver Leader and led some fantastic zooms including a space-themed zoom in which the Beavers took part in a quiz about space and used Oreo cookies to show us different stages of the moon.

Our Beavers learned about Morse code, British Sign Language and the International Phonetic Alphabet. They even learned how to spell their name using these alphabets and decoded messages. Many of our Beavers took part in “A Night At The Museum” where they took guided zoom tours of the Museum, took part in activities and camped in a tent/shelter they had built in another part of their homes.

Although we were not able to meet face to face at any point we wanted to do something amazing for the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts so we got together as a district and planned an amazing Christmas Extravaganza.

2020 Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council St James and Emmanuel Churches, New Brighton

This was something new and exciting which had never been done before but we were eagerly counting down the days. The Beavers took part in many fantastic activities in the Extravaganza including meeting reptiles and finding out interesting facts about them, decorating cards, Quizzes, Bongo’s Bingo and much more.

Upon reflection, this year has been a very different year but in many ways it’s been exactly the same. We have done things a little bit differently but the end result is still the same. We are all having fun, supporting one another through tough times and earning badges. I’d like to thank all of the Beavers and their parents for making this year a much easier and enjoyable one! I am looking forward to getting back to normal and enjoying face to face meetings.

Kyrie-dee, AKA Kizzie, (Beaver Leader)

Cubs Annual Report

Since January Cubs have been doing a lot of badges, including Entertainers, Artist and Book Readers. We went into lockdown in March when we moved to online zoom meetings, where we continued to do badge work. This resulted in a Cub earning his Chief Scout Silver Award before moving to scouts. Well done to that Cub, his hard work and dedication paid off.

In December Cubs were invited by District to attend a Christmas Extravaganza where a number of Cubs attended. They had a brilliant day on zoom joining in with lots and lots of Christmas activities and were given a goody bag, which included items they needed for some of the activities and some added extras for them. The last few weeks we finished off by writing a letter to Father Christmas which they sent off and received a card back from him. As we couldn’t hold our annual Christmas party, we ended with a Christmas quiz and some Christmas activities.

Hopefully we can return back to normal soon and we can get some camps organised for the Cubs to attend.

Scouts Annual Report

Well to re-use the most over said phrase this year, hasn’t it been a strange old year? This is so true to Scouting too with a full shift for the majority of a year into screen only sessions. However, in the true scouting fashion we have come together as a group, a district and a movement to overcome the adversity.

Moving to Zoom allowed to us to briskly fly through Digital Safety, creating digital characters and games. We’ve had quizzes on everything and ruined the next generations thirst for a Wednesday night pub quiz in the process but Zoom allowed us to solve problems together in Escape Rooms, hold forums with scouts and go virtual camping with friends around the world.

3rd Scouts have taken part in district camp and Winter Camp, a host of lightning fast activities over the whole weekend necessitating skill and speed to prove to the world via social media you had what it took to conquer a challenge. We came 51[st] out of nearly 1000 teams worldwide.

We did manage to meet up for one session in the Christmas Extravaganza, in which 100% came running back to Scouts after such a long break. They built fires, cooked dinner, made pegs, sawed and axed whilst navigating their way across Wallasey.

We celebrated scouting doing a month under canvas and participating in a scouty event each day. Building camp chairs from branches, tying knots, star gazing, pitching a tent, making wind chimes, and carrot whistles amongst other things.

2020 Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council St James and Emmanuel Churches, New Brighton

Being stuck at home didn’t stop us visiting an airfield, baking pizzas together or even practising how to escape your house in a fire!

Our approach as a group got us on the Merseyside Scout radio / You Tube show to celebrate 9 of our members achieving Chief Scout Gold Award before moving on to Explorers or sadly a couple felt Scouts was the last step in their journey. I’m happy to say those that went still attend Explorers. So this meant we took a hit from 17 members to 6 overall and are now ticking slowly back up and expecting more in September.

We are delighted to be back at the hall and we are carefully gauging our delivery each week to make sure members are safe and enjoying the social aspect that Zoom had lost its power to deliver! Thanks for having us,

Graham (Scout Leader)

Pastoral Care

Some members of our parish are unable to attend church due to sickness or age. Revd. Heather Atkinson has visited all church members who have requested it, to celebrate communion with them either at their homes or in hospital Covid19 restrictions permitting .

Mission and Evangelism

Helping those in need is a demonstration of our faith. Charitable givings, Foodbank Distribution Centres at both churches, AA, Lunch club are examples.

Our parish magazine is distributed monthly to subscribers and available at both churches and several outlets in the parish of New Brighton. The magazine keeps our parishioners informed of the important matters affecting our Church and articles that help develop our knowledge and trust in Jesus.

Safeguarding

Children were welcome and safe in the company of Jesus, and children and people at risk should be safe in Christ's Church. The Diocese of Chester and all its churches are committed to encouraging an environment where all people, but especially those who may be at risk for any reason, are able to worship and follow their faith journey with encouragement and in safety. Safeguarding is everyone’s business and the Safeguarding Team is available to discuss any concerns at any time. It currently consists of Revd. Heather, Sue Chadwick, Gill Walduck, Sara Sullivan, Helen Jones and Helen Harvey. There were no safeguarding concerns raised in 2020.

Electoral Roll

As is, sadly, frequently the case, a number of long-standing members of the church have passed away during the period since the last meeting. I hope that I have managed to keep this information up to date and amend the roll accordingly. I do, however, apologise for any distress caused by the inclusion of any deceased persons. I have also had a number of applications for new or renewed membership which have been processed in accordance with the PCC regulations. Some of these people may not become full members until the next PCC meeting later in the summer. Please check the roll and have a word with me if you need to. Clearly nobody has been unaffected by the pandemic and it is quite possible that I have still included persons who are no longer active members of the congregation. Any help from church members in this area would be appreciated as we do not always hear when people pass away or move out of the area.

13

2020 Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council St James and Emmanuel Churches, New Brighton

This is another of those years in which the roll is simply revised using the existing roll. We have a major revision every 6 years when all members have to resubmit their details. This year the roll is simply compiled using any amendments of which I am made aware.

Once again, our numbers have stayed fairly stable. There are now 145 members on the roll as at the date on this report compared with 142 at the date of the last meeting. If any regular church members are not the roll and wish to be, then I can supply a form which can be completed and returned to the PCC. We do occasionally find people who missed the revision and whose membership has therefore lapsed.

I thank all church members for helping me to keep the records up to date and the PCC secretary who ensures that all documentation and records are kept in accordance with the GDPR protocols.

Stephen Cottam, Electoral Roll Officer

Ecumenical Relationships

The church is a member of Churches Together in Wallasey. The Foodbank team at St James works together with members from Claremount Methodist Church and St Mary’s Church, Liscard to assist those needing food. Bridging the Wallasey gap is a good example of working with 5 other churches. Revd. Heather has linked with the new pastor at New Brighton Baptist with a view to working together.

Financial Review

Treasurers Report 2020

2020 has been a year like no other for so many people, businesses and organisations. With churches closed for a large part of the year, and fundraising and other activities disallowed, finances have inevitably been affected.

General Account

Expenditure once again exceeded income on this account but actually by considerably less than in 2019. Whilst we saw a reduction in income from cash donations and envelopes, 15 people decided to change to making donations via standing order, and many people continued to donate the amount they had committed to before the pandemic, for this we are very grateful. We were also able to reclaim a similar amount through the gift aid scheme. PCC fees for weddings and funerals increased, partly due to the Diocese’s decision to give a £30 grant back to parishes for funerals taken at the crematorium only. Obviously, income from lettings and refreshments were virtually non-existent after March, but hopefully will pick up again in 2021. On the expenditure side there was a reduction in the cost of heating and lighting, due to lower usage and the renegotiation of contracts. The much lower figure for vestry phone and internet relates to 2020, whereas the previous figure included some fees owing from 2017-8. Magazine costs increased a little due to the use of colour printing.

Fabric Reserve Account at Emmanuel

The only major item of expenditure here relates to the ongoing problem with the roof over the refreshment area, and it is likely that there will need to be considerable expenditure on this in the future. Income to this account suffered due to the lack of summer and Christmas fairs but benefitted from a successful insurance claim relating to window damage in the church in 2019.

St James Restoration Fund

The Restoration Fund has been well documented elsewhere. From a financial point of view there has again been very little expenditure and funds are building up in preparation for phase 3. Monies raised specifically for the chancel and restoration of the ‘Angels’ are included in this account but kept aside for that purpose.

14

2020 Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council St James and Emmanuel Churches, New Brighton

This fund continues to be expertly managed by Trevor Thomas.

Repairs Account at St James

This Account was almost exhausted by the end of 2020 and a sum of £1,000 was transferred from the Churchwarden’s Legacy in order to keep it open. It has been agreed by the PCC that a further £5,000 will be transferred to cover maintenance costs for the time being. There was little unusual activity on this account due to pandemic restrictions, the replacement of the projector being this only notable item.

Churchwarden’s Legacy Account

Despite turbulent times in the British economy this account continued to present a healthy balance due to sound investments with the Central Board of Finance. The only unusual expenditure was the aforementioned transfer.

Charities Account

After a bumper year last year, donations to charities were much reduced this year, due to a lack of fundraising events such as coffee mornings and Christian Aid week activities, and of collections at funerals. In the autumn the PCC decided to postpone direct giving from the General Account until after the end of the year when a fuller picture of our financial position in the pandemic would be available. A contribution of £5,000 is now to be made but this will show in 2021 accounts. The church did receive a number of large donations to pass on to the Wirral Foodbank to support this critical work.

Vicars Discretionary Fund for Youth

Sadly, there has been no activity on this account this year.

Ledder Cornish Brace Trust

As in previous years the only activity on this account was interest received. The interest shown relates to 2019 and 2020 due to an admin oversight last year.

Review of Resources

The parish continues to find itself in the fortunate position of having sufficient funds for all foreseeable events, despite a very difficult year. However as can be seen in the balance sheet there was a £5,000 excess in expenditure over income. Whilst this is a relatively small proportion of overall income, and less than in 2019, we should perhaps be mindful of the situation and also that of the Repairs Account at St James. Fortunately our funds invested with the CCLA have done particularly well despite uncertain economic times. As at 31/12/20 our shares were worth some £18,000 more than the previous year. However, I would advise caution here as some of our shares are invested in high yielding bonds which have, or are about to, mature and we have been forewarned that it is not possible to obtain similar high rates of return for future investments. With rising costs and a very uncertain economic future for the nation the PCC will, as always, need to be prudent.

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the PCC to keep a considerable sum in the unrestricted account as a cash balance to offset the many and varied needs of the two church buildings. This is usually at least six months unrestricted payments and is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. The cash balance of approximately £70,000 in the General Account at the end of 2020 conforms to this policy.

15

2020 Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council St James and Emmanuel Churches, New Brighton

The two restricted funds: Reserve Account at Emmanuel and Repairs Account at St James, exist to cover the costs of maintaining the physical buildings. Whilst the Reserve Account at Emmanuel holds ample funds for the coming year the PCC is aware that the Repairs Account for St James now needs to be supplemented from other funds or fundraising. The parish is fortunate to have a legacy, largely invested with the CCLA, which has remained largely untouched this year. This legacy provides investment income for the parish and is also available for larger projects or to supplement maintenance when necessary.

This is my third annual report. I continue to be extremely grateful for Trevor’s guidance and my thanks also go to those who help by counting, checking and banking our funds, especially John Codling and his team at St James, and Viv Lythgoe at Emmanuel, and also to George Merrill who does a fantastic job as our Gift Aid secretary.

Sally Giles (Treasurer) January 2021

Volunteers

We would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our church the lively and vibrant community it is. In particular we want to mention our churchwardens John Timms and John Codling at St James’ and Colin Jones and David Worgan, Warden to October 2020 at Emmanuel who have worked so tirelessly on our behalf and all members of the various subgroups: PCC, PDG, Cleaning Team, Refreshments Team, Choirs at both churches.

Structure, governance and management

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At St James with Emmanuel, the membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent (our vicar), churchwardens from both churches, our two readers who are co-opted at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who attend our services are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.

The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. New members receive initial training into the workings of the PCC.

The full PCC met six times during the year with an average level of attendance of 65%. The meetings in May, July, September and November were all virtual meetings by Zoom. The APCM for 2019 was conducted in October as a face to face meeting fortunately before C19 cases rose.

Given its wide responsibilities the PCC has a number of committees each dealing with a particular aspect of parish life. These committees, which include The Parish Development Group, Restoration Management Committee and fabric and finance, are all responsible to the PCC and reporting back to it regularly with minutes of their decisions being received by the full PCC and discussed as necessary.
