Signed ......................................... (Chairman) Dated .......................................... 5 ## **- Annual Report Fr David Rollins, Rector** ## Dear Friends The phrase “an unprecedented year” has become common place during the past twelve months. It has been a difficult year as many of us have had to remain at home and stay safe. Also, the closure of churches for Public worship and the limited use of Church Halls has had a huge effect on us during these past few months. Many of our normal activities have sadly not been able to take place. However, we have tried to remain in touch with all our regular worshipers either through weekly postings or emails. We have also maintained contact with those on the periphery of the church, details in other team members reports elsewhere in this report. We were able to complete the works on St Mary’s Roof, and we appreciated the work of our Architect David Ferguson, the Contractors, and the Corringham Church Wardens, Treasurer and Fundraising Group who worked hard to ensure we had the funds to complete these works. As we have faced the different challenges 2020 presented us, I am very appreciative of the work of my colleagues, Rev Wendy and Fr John, and our Readers David and Pamela, alongside the support we have received from the Church Wardens, Peter and John, the treasurer, Bev, and all members of the PCC and each and every member of our worshipping community. Peter has decided to step down this year. Peter has served two terms as Church Warden through the years and I have always appreciated his support and his dedication to complete tasks. I must make special mention of Elaine who offers me such a huge amount of support as our Parish Administrator and ensures we have all remained in contact through the year. I find that words seem inadequate to express my **thanks** for your continued financial support through these past twelve months. We were able to meet all our commitments for the Parish and to the Diocese in the form of our Parish share. None of us are sure how the church will look in the future and we look forward to the guidance of our new **Diocesan Bishop Guli** who takes on the reigns of responsibility after Easter. The Diocese is still facing an unsure financial future and there is the possibility of many changes which will affect each parish and Benefice through the coming years. The roadmap for easing of lockdown restrictions has been published, and I look forward to the time when we can meet together in church to worship God and our Saviour and Redeemer Jesus Christ. I commend this Annual Report to you giving you a snapshot of the past year. In assurance of my continued service, your servant and priest. Fr David 6 ## **Curates Report - Fr John and Revd Wendy** For both of us the past year has been very different, the pandemic has created challenges and opportunities that none of us would ever have envisaged. Many activities with our younger people within schools or within our church family have been curtailed, technology has helped us keep in touch but as we all know this is not the same as meeting together. Our continuing Diocesan curacy training has all been online and we have both fulfilled all of our commitments to this during the past year. Fr John has now completed his curacy and will within the next year have moved to his own parish. Revd Wendy, being locally deployed and technically part time will complete her curacy in May 2022, when she will be an Associate Priest for the Benefice continuing to serve in Corringham and Fobbing. We have both continued to benefit from the knowledge and guidance of Fr David as our training incumbent. Occasional Offices, particularly funerals, have been shared and our support of St Margaret’s during their time of Interregnum has allowed us the opportunity to experience leading worship in a tradition different to our own. Thank you also to everyone in the benefice for your continued support and care for us. In humility and love we hope to be able to continue to serve wherever God leads us in the coming year. Every blessing. ## **- Churchwardens Report Peter Craggs and John Hibbert** Well, what a year 2020 has been. We started off the year with reports of a Coronavirus disease in China. By February it was spreading round the world, and now being named Covid 19 it was declared a global pandemic. Our last service in church was on Sunday 15 March due to a national lockdown being declared by the government. On Easter Day we had a streamed service so our congregation could follow in their own homes. There was a break of about two weeks and then we had regular streamed services using Zoom. Services started again in church on 18 July which were also streamed, as many of our congregation were isolating at home. We would like to thank Father David, Reverend Wendy and Father John for all their hard work in preparing St. Mary's and St. John's churches for services. Seats had to be marked so people were seated 2 metres apart, markers on the floor asking people to keep their distance, hand sanitizing, notices etc. All numbers for services were limited and people had to book a place in advance, this worked very well. Our last services with a congregation was at Christmas due to further restrictions, since then all services are streamed only. We would also like to thank Darryl who although we were unable to sing in church, played for services throughout the year. Elaine has also done a sterling job by posting or emailing the pew sheet, orders of service, lectionaries etc., to everyone on a weekly basis so that everyone knew what was happening. We would also like to thank the generous people who have continued to support the 7 church financially throughout these very difficult times. Bev, our treasurer, has done a magnificent job in balancing the books. Thank you to everyone who is still helping to keep our churches and grounds clean and tidy in these very difficult times. Repair work restarted in May on the roof at St. Mary's church, it had to stop in late 2019 due to the bats hibernating, this re-tiling will ensure that it will keep us weatherproof for many years to come. After the tiling work was completed, the ceiling of the nave at St. Mary's was repainted. The Quinquennial report for St. Mary's was carried out in late 2020 so we now have 5 years to complete the work needed, most of it is stone repointing outside. Peter will be standing down as churchwarden at the next APCM. He will have completed six years in this role. He would like to thank everyone for their support during this time. We must remember Geoff Shead, who died on 31 December 2020. He had been a stalwart in the parish for 52 years, during this time he served on the PCC, was Churchwarden, Deanery Synod Secretary, Chairman of Local Fellowship of Churches and helped run the 8+8 Youth Group at St. John's in the 1970's and 80's. We offer our condolences to Reverend Wendy, her sister Karen and their families at this time. In November 2020 the Romanian Orthodox Church joined the Benefice to use St. John's Church and St. Michael's Church. We had to apply for two faculties which took over 6 months to complete, it was the most complicated Faculty application we had done. Christine and John would like to thank Father David for his invaluable help in completing them. ## **' TREASURER S REPORT - BEV HOWELLS** The past year has been a very strange one - unlike any we've had before. We've had almost no fund raising, less hall lettings and a drop in planned giving. Despite this our congregation and friends of St Mary and St John's have been very generous in their donations• increasing our income by over £18,000. Our outgoings increased by a similar amount, but we managed to end the year with a healthier bank balance than when we started. A large part of this increase was due to the many funerals that have been conducted this year. I would like to thank Fobbing PCC for their assistance in helping us to pay the United Benefice Family Purse in full. The 'Sunday Morning Coffee' and the 'Coffee with Friends' had income for the first few months of the year but had to stop for the remaining part of the year due to the lockdown. 8 This year our Repair Fund has dropped- we expected this as the repair to the roof was completed and the bills came in. Luckily, we were able to claim back the VAT that we had paid out which meant that we ended the year in a healthier state than I thought we would. We 'borrowed' £10,000 from our CCLA to make the last payment on the roof but paid it back as soon as the VAT came in. At last we received 2 lots of Gift Aid, which we have been waiting for since 2018- thank you to Elizabeth for her perseverance. Half was transferred straight into our Repair Fund the remainder left in the Current account. I would like to thank everyone for their generosity during the past year- it has meant that we have been able to meet all our obligations. Everyone has been very generous contributing to our various collections: raffle, Fr D's Christmas, money given in memory of Barrie, etc. A special thanks to John Hibbert for his continued support as Assistant Treasurer and to the Clergy who have helped so much during the pandemic. Hopefully it won't be too long before we can all meet again. ## **DEANERY REPORT – Peter Handscombe** Due to the Covid outbreak there has been only one Deanery Synod held during 2020, and that was on 30[th] January 2020 at All Saints Chafford Hundred. After opening worship Charlie KOSLA showed a video of Creation with a focus on becoming an ecochurch. Following this the Revd Canon Imogen Nay, _Canon for Evangelism & Discipleship, Chelmsford Cathedral_ spoke about the national Eco Church initiative and shared Eco Church journeys, as Chelmsford Diocese seeks to be an Eco diocese. There are five categories to consider when implementing this initiative to impact on the whole of church life being: worship and teaching, buildings and land, local community, global community and personal lifestyles. PCC’ should be brought on-board to look at lifestyles, use of recyclable items and energy saving within the Church buildings. There are three levels of Eco Church awards to be earned and are explained on the Rocha website as Bronze, Silver, Gold with qualifying activities for each level. During the meeting the vacancy for Deanery Secretary and Lay Chair were discussed and candidates asked to come forward. 9 ## **HEALTH & SAFETY OFFICERS REPORT – Peter Handscombe** ## **St. John’s Church and Hall** The fire extinguishers have been tested and are correctly placed. All exit doors signed. The Accident book checked and no incidents to cause concern. The Church and hall are checked on an ongoing basis for hazards and action taken where necessary. The electrical appliances have been PAT tested and held in file in the Parish Office. The emergency lighting system is engaged in the event of a power failure and a torch is supplied for the Church. The Gas system has been checked. Due to the Covid lockdown the hall has not been hired out except to the Playgroup and strict isolation of the hall and toilets and areas that the Playgroup use has been in action. During the early months the Church had been marked out to comply with the safe distance restrictions but has been closed off for the majority of the year as the restrictions intensified due to prevent the spread of the Corona virus. The Orthodox Church has been authorized to use St. John’s Church and their icons etc. had been put in place, however the tighter restrictions have prevented them holding services to date. ## **St. Mary’s Church** Gas boilers have been checked and electrical appliances PAT tested. Certificate in Parish Office. Signs correctly displayed on exits. Accident books checked and no incidents of concern. Fire extinguishers checked and correctly placed. The standing gravestones have been checked by applying physical pressure and found to be secure. Steps have been marked with white paint. The Church and grounds are regularly checked for trip hazards and action taken when required. The rear fence has been replaced. During roofing work, it was necessary to close and restrict access to the Church for a short time whilst the work was undertaken. The Church had been marked out to comply with the “Safe Distance” Regulations and some services with a limited congregation had been held. However, with the tightening of restrictions during the later months only services beamed via Zoom have been permitted. 10 ## **MOTHERS’ UNION REPORT - Pam Hibbert Branch Leader** In 2020 Mothers’ Union met only three (January-March) times when we had a speaker in January and another speaker in March. In January we had a talk from the co-op regarding tax after retirement. We were invited to ask questions which were answered by one of the Co-ops team. The second speaker was in March when Steven Conroy spoke to us about working in Nepal as a youth worker. From the 23[rd] March the whole country was shut-down by the government due to Coronvirus (COVID-19). No indication was given as to when we would be allowed to open again, and as of this date, February 2021, churches, and halls are still closed and so far, we do not know as to when we will be opening again. ## **EDWARD BEAR REPORT - Revd Wendy** Until the start of the first lockdown in March 2020 Edward Bear was continuing to welcome many pre-school children and their primary carers. All those attending continued to enjoy the resources provided and the format of the morning. Each session made possible by the continued dedication of the team setting up, preparing resources and providing a listening ear and the opportunity to share. Unfortunately, since March we have been unable to reopen as our ethos is to provide a welcome for both adults and children, with encouragement for use of soft toys. Hearing from some of the primary carers I know our sessions have been missed. None of us knows if and when we will be able to recommence with our church provision. Some of the funding from Edward Bear was contributed to the church to purchase books, glow-sticks and stickers as Christingle resources shared with the community which was greatly appreciated. Thank you to everyone for your support and your commitment to providing this resource and its outreach. Sadly, as I write this report, I have just heard of Lens passing. Len did so much for Edward Bear helping put things away after a session and always being so good at repairing or adapting equipment for us. We will miss his support and care and hold his family and friends in our thoughts and prayers. ## **MESSY MASS REPORT - Revd Wendy** As with all activities Messy Mass has had to adapt and change to continue to be viable and active throughout our time of being unable to meet socially. Sharing the March meeting as usual with the fun, the activities, the Mass and the fellowship around a meal 11 together we had all the plans and resources in place for our Good Friday activity making Easter Gardens. With no opportunity to meet and share it was suggested that we delivered the resources to each family who attended our sessions for completion at home. Greatly enjoyed we have continued each month to organise and resource Messy Church at home. Creatively the families chose themselves to meet in the park when they could, to allow the children to be with each other, to undertake the craft activities in their separate bubbles. When unable to do this, they organised a time to meet via zoom. In October we were able to meet in Church with each family staying in their own bubble and separate resources provided in a box on the table. By November however with regulations having changed we reverted once again to being at home, with us hosting a zoom meeting from St John’s in December. With such enthusiasm we hope to continue to provide Messy Church for as long as there is an interest. Thank you to everyone who has been involved this year offering a very special thank you to Peter and Jean who have organised and provided a meal each month with all the setting up and clearing away with March having been their last time. Their dedication and commitment has been greatly appreciated by the team and all the families who have attended in the past seven years. Thank you. ## **ST LUKE’S CHAPLAINCY - Revd Wendy** Volunteering at the Hospice on a Wednesday sitting chatting, listening, supporting within both the Day Hospice and the In Patients Unit had to be curtailed as the pandemic took hold. Remaining a volunteer, I have been asked to help on a few occasions within my Chaplaincy role and continue to support the Hospice where I can. Training has been carried out online but all the planned events including everything to celebrate 30 years of the Hospice being in Basildon sadly had to be cancelled. The dedication and commitment of the Hospice to provide care both in their inpatient unit and in the community has continued. Let us all continue to pray for their outreach and the demands being placed on them alongside all who provide medical care and support at this time. ## **LITTLE FEET REPORT – Fr David Rollins.** Sadly, since the first lockdown in March 2020, we haven’t met in person. However, some of the same families are connected to the Messy Church group and we have had the opportunity to meet through the regular activities Rev Wendy has provided. We look forward to meeting in person from September. 12 ## **UNITED BENEFICE OF CORRINGHAM & FOBBING SAFEGUARDING REPORT - Carole Howes Benefice Safeguarding Representative.** We continue to take the matter of safeguarding very seriously within the Benefice. Despite not being able to meet in church we have continued to ensure all DBS checks are kept up to date and that all on-line safeguarding training is also current. This year three DBS checks have been undertaken and certain church members will renew their online safeguarding training in the next few months. Safeguarding contact details, the Benefice Safeguarding Statement and Policy remain displayed on notice boards in each church and hall. ## **WALSINGHAM CELL REPORT - Carol Webb** Due to the Corona pandemic, there is very little to report as our annual pilgrimage to the Shrine of Walsingham last year (2020) did not take place. A further date for this year was made (11 May 2021) unfortunately Fr David received correspondence to say that it was unlikely that we would be attending, once again, due to restrictions not being fully lifted. A deposit of £320 was forwarded to Walsingham on 28 January 2020 and we still retain the minibus money in our parish account. Some of us have been following the shrine on Facebook and You Tube. We look forward to the time we can return to this very special place. ## **CALL IN FOR COFFEE REPORT - Pam Hibbert** Call in for Coffee was closed from the 23 March 2020 when the country came under government lockdown due to the Coronvirus (COVID-19). We did manage to open for three months of the year (January to March) when we raised the amount of £90.16 and we sent £45.10 to the Indian Sewing Project. We then had to close as per the government guidelines. 13 ## **LUNCH CLUB REPORT - Margaret Eve** There was no Lunch Club in January as the first Wednesday in 2020 was New Year's Day. There was a lunch in February and March only, as due to the Coronavirus pandemic all church activities ceased in mid-March. My thanks to all the helpers for catering in February and March as I was in Australia. There is £43.57 in the funds which will be held until the Lunch Club is able to meet again. ## **CHRISTIAN CARE HOMES 2020** - **David and Jenny Tweddle** We attended Beech and Cedar House for the months of January, February, and early March. After this the country went into lockdown, and we have been unable to be in physical contact. However, we have kept in touch and sent in our music and hymn sheets when requested. Beech House held a lockdown Carol Service in this way. Easter Services will be held if allowed, and we will once again send in music and hymn sheets, if requested. We have helped out in other ways. For instance, with the help of a team of volunteers, gowns, caps and masks were made up for the Homes before Government took this on. We have to thank Margaret Eve from St Michael's, and Margaret Day from St Margaret's for the speed and generosity in doing the bulk of this work. Also, a huge thank you to those who provided fabric, sheets, duvet covers etc. to enable the work to be done. Christian Care Homes have expressed their grateful thanks, which I now pass on. We have helped in other ways: sending cakes periodically for the Carers. We are looking forward to returning and being part of the Community once again once lockdown restrictions permit. Finally, we were sad to hear of Len Collier's passing. He was a great help to us when we held our Services at Cedar and Beech. ## - **OPEN THE BOOK Pam Hibbert** Unfortunately, the Open the Book project has had to shut temporarily due to COVID-19. No-one is sure when this will re-open or who will be available to carry on this work. Hopefully, some volunteers will come forward to help with this. 14 ## **SOCIAL COMMITTEE REPORT – Victoria Thompson** Unfortunately, due to the Worldwide Pandemic this last year, the Social Committee had to cancel all the years social events for safety reasons. We do hope to be holding a few events this year safely distanced, dependent on the lock down rules being relaxed, so it is safe for us to socialise once again as a parish. We do hope this transpires, as we know it has been very hard for some members of our parish this last year being isolated from their friends and family. It was with great sadness that during the lockdown our Social Committee leader Barry White passed away after his battle with cancer. Barry had been a very long-standing parishioner of St Mary’s and St John’s Church. He had held a position on the PCC for countless years and helped with many fund-raising events in our parish. We all have our own memories of Barry and he will be sorely missed by the whole parish. Our love and prayers are always with Gill, Elizabeth, Ali and the Boys. ## **– Flexible Friday Report Fr John Noddings** The current pandemic has meant that the Flexible Friday Group has not been able to meet since April of last year. Contact with group members and parents has been through a Newsletter, which has focused on various themes throughout the past year. These have included, Easter, Pentecost, VE Day Celebrations, Pilgrimage, Advent and Christmas. It is hoped that as this current lockdown lifts and restrictions are eased that the group may be able to resume meeting from June. ## **Collins House – Fr John Noddings** The current pandemic has meant that the weekly Service of The Word has not been able to take place since April of last year. Collins House have said that they will contact me when we are able to resume these services. 15 LurriDxbam Iltiptrtht r("I"*&d tk Ir￿￿ th¢ cufdthlitkn SL'(h.alt¢r5 'h¥M￿¢d..r.￿ 69 Trtyrf&gn Cr*c¢nr 8tt5:"l¢Jon Essex S514 3LW 31 j120 THE PAROCHIAL CHUCH COUNCIL.

They must then have a break of at least one year. The reasoning for this proposal is that if this rule is applied then a workable PCC could not be formed. It was agreed that the proposal should be put before the Annual General Meeting on 16[th] May 2021. 22
