Trustees’ Annual Report to the Charities Commission for the year ending 31 December 2023 

## Aims & Purposes 

St Luke’s Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, the Reverend Donald Davis, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the church building on Knights Hill and a house at 12 Chestnut Road, London SE27 9LF. 

## Objectives & 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 Luke’s West Norwood. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how to involve more of the people living in our parish, in the life of the church. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. 

When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through: 

- Worship and prayer; learning about the gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus. 

- Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish. 

- Missionary and outreach work. 

- To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain the fabric of the church building. 

## Achievements & Performance 

## Worship & Prayer 

The PCC is keen to offer a range of meetings during the week and over the course of the year that our community finds both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. We run fellowship groups for Bible study and encouragement during the week. Some of these have a special focus such as evangelism or prayer; some are based at church and others are in people’s homes. Our main church service is on Sunday morning at 10.30am. In addition we hold services for St Luke’s School at Easter, Summer, Harvest and Christmas, and Revd Donald leads worship in the school on a weekly basis. 

We continue to offer the Start course and Alpha course, to introduce anyone to the Christian faith and to prepare them for services of Thanksgiving and Baptism. We usually offer at least one course of marriage preparation/enrichment for anyone marrying or having their banns read at St Luke’s during the year. 

Our street witness activity on Wednesday afternoons is very effective at taking the gospel to the streets of our parish. There is a regular team of people who go out to witness and share the gospel every Wednesday afternoon. This group is supported by missionaries both local and from overseas. 



St Luke’s has participated in the Robes Project since 2016, offering the church as a night shelter for rough sleepers one night a week on a take-turns rota. This project is staffed by volunteers from St Luke’s and other churches as well as many people from the local community who are not currently part of a church but want to take part in this valuable mission to those in need. In 2023 St Luke’s Church was approached by Spires, a homeless outreach service, to begin hosting advice and breakfast sessions to rough sleepers and the vulnerable housed twice a week. This began in September 2023. 

All are welcome to attend our regular services. At 31 December 2023 there were 64 people on the electoral roll. The average weekly attendance, counted during October 2023, was 70. 

As well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. Through Thanksgiving we thank God for the gift of new life, through Baptism - usually a public event held in the church gardens on Pentecost Sunday - we celebrate repentance and the turning away from sin to new life in Christ. 

In marriage, public vows are exchanged with God’s blessing, and through funeral services friends and family express their grief and give thanks for the life which is now complete in this world. In 2023 we held seven funerals in St Luke’s Church, and four people were baptised. 

## Deanery Synod 

Two members of the PCC sit on Lambeth South deanery synod. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church. 

## The Church Building 

The church building is used regularly by many local groups including our own members. In addition to the winter night shelter and homeless outreach twice a week, St Luke’s hosts three AA meetings a week and a lunch club for local people who are isolated and vulnerable. The building also hosts the Spring and Summer shows of the Lambeth Horticultural Society each year and in 2023 hosted two concerts by Lambeth Orchestra. 

In 2023 the major building project was the fixed wiring inspection and subsequent remedials. The church and chambers with require a full replacement of the wiring and new lighting throughout. In 2024 the PCC hopes to instal a kitchenette and new flooring in the upper hall and undertake repairs to the chambers fire door and steps. 

## Pastoral Care 

Some members of the parish are unable to attend church due to sickness or age. Reverend Donald Davis has visited all church members who have requested it, to celebrate communion with them either at their homes or in hospital. This includes both existing members of the community and people who live in West Norwood but do not attend worship at the church but contact us for help and support. Mission 



Externally, St Luke’s PCC continued to support Release International and Spinnaker in 2022. Following the retirement of CMS missionaries Ann Moore and David and Shelley Stokes, the PCC began supporting Lea & Petra Williams in the Czech Republic and - very briefly - David & Christine Torrance in Tanzania. It now also supports Operation Forgiveness, a project led by London City Mission. 

In our fellowship, St Luke’s mission is as follows: 

- To go and make disciples of all nations. 

- To baptise them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. 

- To teach them to obey all that Jesus commands. 

- To be a family of believers who share a faith and a mission to tell the good news of Jesus. 

- To draw closer to Jesus every day through Bible reading, reflection, prayer and fellowship. 

- To be Holy Spirit-filled witnesses to the good news of Jesus, and to go on being filled with the Holy Spirit. 

- To pray for our family, friends and neighbours, for their lives and for them to know and love Jesus. 

- To serve one another and those we meet, together, in the power of the Holy Spirit and in Jesus’ name. 

- To encourage everyone to repent and come to Jesus. 

## Ecumenical Relationships 

St Luke’s engages in a series of annual outreach activities with other Christian churches in the parish including Chatsworth Baptist Church, Lansdowne Evangelical Church, Worldwide Mission Fellowship, Tulse Hill Methodist Church and St Matthews RC Church. These include a Walk of Witness on Good Friday and a family barbecue on Halloween. On Remembrance Sunday we have a joint Act of Remembrance with St Matthews Roman Catholic Church. Reverend Donald Davis also enjoys regular fellowship with the leaders of other churches in the parish and many of our local churches help us with delivering the winter night shelter for Robes. 

## Financial Review 

No significant projects were undertaken in 2023 as we allowed finances to recover from the roof repair project and major works to the trees in the churchyard, both commenced in 2022, and to prepare for 2024. In the coming year, we hope venture into improvements to the Upper Hall (new flooring and installation of a kitchenette). We also need to prepare for complete rewiring of the church and new lighting. In 2025 we will be required to embark on the quinquennial building inspection. It will also be the church’s bicentennial year. Joy Olisa 

Hon Treasurer St Luke’s PCC 

## Volunteers 

We would like to thank all our volunteers who work so hard to make our church the lively and vibrant community it is. In particular, we want to give thanks to the Sunday School leaders and helpers for providing exciting sessions that stimulate the children’s faith. 



## Structure, Governance & Management 

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At St Luke’s the membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent (our vicar), churchwardens, the Southwark Pastoral Auxiliary 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 how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. The full PCC met ten times during the year with an average attendance of 71%. Given its wide responsibilities the PCC has sub-committees dealing with finance, mission action planning and mission support, which are responsible to the PCC and report to it regularly, with decisions and recommendations. 

## Administrative Information 

St Luke’s Church is situated at the centre of West Norwood in the London Borough of Lambeth, in South London. It is part of the Diocese of Southwark. The correspondence address is St Luke’s Church, Knights Hill, West Norwood, London SE27 0HS. The PCC is a body corporate (PCC Powers Measure 1956, Church Representation Rules 2006) and a charity registered with the Charity Commission.
