## **Report on the Activities of the Church in 2022** 

Any reflection in Britain in 2022 must include two events.  The first is the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations and the second is her death a few months later.  For the life of St Mary Magdalene, it is no different.  We celebrated the Jubilee wholeheartedly and it was a highlight of our life together last year.  It was an opportunity to gather and relax socially in a way that we’d not been able to do since the pandemic struck.  The relief and joy that this brought was clear to see.  We enjoy being a church community. 

St Mary Magdalene grieved over the Queen’s death in a way that embraced our parish community.  Our bell was tolled, and our doors were open for people to sign the book of condolence and to light candles. When we shared a Mission Area Service of Condolence it was moving and well attended.  We were able to place Jesus in the centre, as we remembered the Queen’s personal faith. 

Both these events in our church’s life demonstrate something about our identity; the importance of a Jesus centred church family and our witness to and interaction with the wider community – with a glimpse of the growing relationship and significance of our wider Mission Area. 

The year was also a time of rebuilding.  As the year progressed our Sunday morning and midweek services built back up to strength.  Visitors came, stayed, and became a full part of our church, serving alongside us and joining in with our midweek groups.  While our eucharistic services have remained consistent in character we have experimented with our evening worship and our offer for family friendly worship. 

Evening choral services have been carefully crafted with seasons and festive times in mind. Seasons have been marked with a variety of moving and uplifting music which have delighted and stimulated the congregation and our choir members alike. 

In the Autumn, online family services gave way to a new afternoon service – Refresh@4. This offered a family friendly relaxed and informal environment to gather, learn together and worship Jesus.  We have seen brand new families join us as well as stalwart families return to in person worship.  As well as our new family service we also held Harvest and Remembrance parade services which gave the opportunity for the whole church community to come together at these special times.  Both of these expressions of worship were 



significant – a new offer for those we struggle to reach and also a larger whole church gathering for special festivals.  With our outdoor/indoor crib service gathering the crowds again it is right that we continue to explore and be open to different ways of drawing others to worship with us. 

Our children’s and youth provision has continued to be a great strength, including our wonderful and ever-growing relationship with our schools.  This roots our life in the community and grows our opportunity to share the gospel. 

Looking forward we will continue to need to be rooted in one another and in Christ – both through regular worship and through the lifeline of our midweek groups.  Our foundations need to go into Jesus and our identity in him.  The stronger our foundation the more confident we will be as we reach out to others and across divides.  We have been rebuilding as a church, there is still building to be done across the Mission Area.  We will need to continue to develop our relationship with our sister churches in the Mission Area. Occasional joint services, regular prayer meetings, study groups and visioning meetings will carry on.  Together with Christ as our cornerstone we can be built together as a church, in the community and across our Mission Area.  He is the one around who we are centred and in whom we can trust. 

**Reverend Karen Skidmore Priest in Charge, St Mary Magdalene Whiston Oversight Minister, Rotherham East Central Mission Area** 



## **Parochial Church Council (PCC) Report for APCM 26[th] April 2023** 

Following the 2022 APCM on 24[th] May, there were 12 elected members and three ex-officio. 

There were seven meetings of PCC in 2022, four of which were held via Zoom.  All meetings were chaired by Revd Karen Skidmore.  Standing Committee did not meet formally in 2022, but, between PCC meetings, reached financial decisions, when necessary, via email correspondence. 

Churchwarden, Financial, Safeguarding and Children’s Ministry reports were discussed at every PCC meeting; likewise reports from the Deanery and Diocesan Synod, as available.  In addition, the PCC’s work included the following: 

- i. **Covid-19 pandemic issues** : 

- a. Omicron variant – in January 2022, although the R rate for Rotherham was above the national average, PCC concluded that normal church activities could continue but some less structured activities would have a longer Christmas break. 

- b. Gradual relaxation of COVID-19 safety measures in church – had already occurred by the May 2022 PCC, with the abolition of the ‘one-way’ system and the return of singing of hymns/full vocal participation in Sung Eucharist services by the congregation.  Given the, by then, low prevalence of Covid infections locally and the protection offered by vaccinations, PCC considered and agreed to relaxations recommended by the Oversight Ministers for face mask wearing, social distancing and the resumption of refreshments after services.  Distribution of Communion would remain from a single station and in one kind (bread), pending review at the July PCC. 

- c. Reintroduction of the shared chalice – at the July PCC and in accordance with C of E guidance, PCC members supported the proposed re-introduction of the shared chalice from the Patronal Service (24[th] July), thereby providing individual communicants with the opportunity to receive in both kinds. ‘Dipping’ or intinction of Communion wafers would not be permitted. 

- d. Cleaning of Church – at the September PCC, review of the enhanced Covid prevention cleaning arrangements in place since the first re-opening of Church in July 2020, concluded that, normally, the church would no longer need to be cleaned more than once on a Sunday.  Cleaning would occur before or after life event services, unless 48hrs had elapsed since the last service or would elapse before the next. 

## **ii. Mission and Ministry:** 

- a. Revd Louise Castle, Associate Priest (SSM) - was welcomed to her first Whiston PCC meeting in January.  After she had taken ‘time out’ in March, it was announced that she would not be continuing in the Mission Area. 

- b. Mission Area Vision Days – were discussed at PCC meetings before and after each of the two days which were held at St James Church Hall on Saturdays in February and September.  The first, entitled ‘Leading Your Church into Growth’ was led by Revd John Day, Acting Archdeacon of York.  In the second, Revd Julie Bacon, Associate Archdeacon Rotherham & Laughton had led a bible study on Acts 2.37-47, often regarded as describing ‘the birth 



of the Church’.  PCC members who were able to attend either or both days found working together and sharing knowledge with members of the other two parishes valuable. 

   - c. Care and well-being of the clergy – this C of E publication, entitled ‘A Document for Reflection and Action for Local Congregations’ approved by General Synod in 2019, was considered at the July PCC meeting, having also been the subject of an ‘initial conversation’ with the Churchwarden and members of the congregation who stayed behind after the service on the preceding Sunday.  PCC members resolved to consider each of the document’s four subsections separately and more fully in subsequent meetings. 

   - d. Introduction of clergy ‘church, coffee and chat’ sessions – also at the July PCC meeting, members welcomed the initiative offered by both Oversight Ministers (OM) to compensate for their rarely being able to remain at St Mary Magdalene Whiston following the 9.45am Sunday Eucharist Services, given their requirement to progress to St Cuthbert’s for their 11.00 am service.  The initiative offered by the OM was that on alternate Wednesdays, on a trial basis to end September 2022, one or other of them would be in Church from 11-12 noon or 6-7 pm, to chat informally with parishioners. 

   - e. New All Age Sunday Family Services at 4pm – later known as ‘Refresh @4’, were also introduced by the OM at the July PCC meeting, with the explanation that the timing of the service would hopefully be found more convenient for families.  The intention was to hold them twice monthly starting on 18[th] September.  Given the subsequent timing of the late Queen’s funeral, the start date was deferred to October 2022. 

   - f. Focal Ministry – in the September PCC, members welcomed Revd Julie Bacon (JB) who explained that an important aspect of her role as Archdeacon Transition Enabler was to work with clergy who were transitioning from Parochial Ministry to Oversight Ministry.  Moving on to speak about Focal Ministers, she said the intention was for them to be ‘visible persons in the local community who could be contacted as the public face of the Church’. Where Focal Ministry had already become established, it was usually carried out by a team of three or more people, each with different gifts.  JB then described the process of discernment that might lead to the appointment of one or more Focal Ministers in a parish. 

- iii. **Church and Churchyard** : 

   - a. Lighting – over the year, PCC members, or Standing Committee members acting on their behalf, approved the expenditure necessary to enable (i) the replacement of all lights in the Church and meeting rooms and (ii) all the external light fittings and bell tower lights to be changed to LED. 

   - b. Church carpark resurfacing – given concern about potholes, in March, PCC members agreed that contact should be made with a local contractor, recommended by the Diocesan Surveyor.  Several months delay then ensued whilst a property agent, acting on behalf of the Diocese, assessed the carpark’s potential for housing development, with negative result.  Shortly before the September PCC, Standing Committee approved the £8,760 



expenditure necessary to enable the local contractor to proceed with the work in early October 2022. 

   - c. National Bats in Churches Survey 2022 – at the March PCC, members agreed that the Churchwarden should invite the Project (working in partnership with the C of E, conservation, and heritage organisations) to undertake their survey.  This was performed on 12[th] August, using a recording device capable of capturing ultrasonic emissions from any bats.  At the September PCC, members received the news that no evidence of bat presence had been found. 

   - d. Upper meeting room – at the May meeting of PCC, members recognised that work needed to be undertaken to make this room more suitable for use by the Starfish Gang and that a small group of volunteers would be needed to assist the Churchwarden with this work.  At the September meeting, the time and effort invested by Anthea Goodman and Lucy Luckock was gratefully acknowledged, but it was noted that further work was needed. 

- e. Church audio system – increasingly unreliable over the preceding months, by late November it was apparent that replacement of the 18-year-old lapel VHF microphones and amplifier was urgently required.  Further to advice from a sound engineer in the company that had provided audio support to the church for >20 years, PCC members gave unanimous support for the purchase of new UHF microphones, amplifier, and handheld channel. 

- **iv. Financial matters:** 

   - a. QR code facility for donations – at the January PCC, members were pleased to hear from the Honorary Treasurer, that payments from Stripe.com had started to come through to the PCC bank account consequent upon use of the QR code donation facility in Church. 

   - b. Organist & Choirmaster’s Stipend – at the July PCC, members unanimously agreed to the proposal that this be increased by 11.5%. 

   - c. Independent Examiner – further to his election at the APCM in May, Mr Tim Scruton, FCA, ICAEW, was formally approved as Independent Examiner for 2022 at the September PCC meeting. 

   - d. New gas contract 10.01.2023 – 09.01.2026 – with the existing contract with British Gas Direct due to expire in January 2023, and rising energy prices generally, Standing Committee were very grateful to John Sparrow for his research and, in August, followed his recommendation that the Church should change supplier to Pozitive Energy, via Green Journey (recommended by the Diocese).  A new contract was signed in early August.  Although the cost per year would now be almost four times as much as previously, it was significantly lower than it would have been if continuing with the previous supplier.  To reduce church heating costs, PCC moved back to Zoom meetings from November 2022 – March 2023, inclusive. 

   - e. Common Fund Pledge – further to a letter received from the Diocese, encouraging Parishes to increase their 2023 pledge by 4% on their 2022 pledge, following discussion at the July PCC meeting, members unanimously agreed to this, thus making a pledge of £49,920 to the Common Fund for 2023. 



## **v. Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II** 

   - a. 70[th] Anniversary of the Queen’s Accession – in January, PCC were pleased to learn of the Organist and Choirmaster’s plans to enable a special Choral Evensong on 6[th] February to mark this. 

   - b. Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebration – at the May PCC, members were pleased to hear of the progress made by the planning group, led by Anthea Goodman towards an afternoon tea celebration in Whiston Parish Hall on Saturday 4[th] June 2022.  An application had been made to RMBC for a grant of £500 towards costs and PCC unanimously awarded £250.  At the July PCC, members rejoiced that the grant application to RMBC had been successful and at the joyfulness of the occasion on 4[th] June, the first Church social gathering since before the start of the pandemic. Grateful appreciation of the hard work put in by Anthea and her Jubilee Planning Team was specially recorded in the minutes. 

- c. Response to the death of Her Late Majesty 8[th] September 2022 – at the November PCC, Revd Karen thanked all who had enabled the Church to be open between the Queen’s death and her state funeral on 19[th] September so people could attend, light a candle, and make an entry in the condolence book, if they wished.  The evening service commemorating Her Late Majesty on Sunday 18[th] September had been well attended and much appreciated. 

- **vi. Other:** 

   - a. Eco-Church - next steps – has been a standing item on the agenda for PCC meetings since July 2022.  In November 2020, the Diocesan Synod supported the General Synod motion that all parts of the Church should reach ‘Net Zero’ carbon emissions by 2030 and committed to the A Rocha UK Eco Church and Eco Diocese programmes.  St Mary Magdalene Parish Whiston has registered as an Eco Church with A Rocha. 

   - b. Cost of living crisis – due to the rising costs of energy and inflation, this was an important topic for discussion at the November PCC meeting.  Taking a Mission Area approach, it was hoped that members of the congregation would feel able to assist initiatives in the other two parishes where (i) frequency of coffee mornings (and thus warm space provision) at St James Church, had increased from fortnightly to weekly; and (ii) at St Cuthbert’s Church where ‘Coffee Pot’ mornings were now occurring twice monthly, for two hours.  At Whiston, the Natter Group meetings in the Parish Hall would continue monthly. 

**Dr Mary E. Holt PCC Secretary** 



## **Gift Aid Report to APCM April 2023** 

We are grateful to everyone who signs up to the Gift Aid scheme. 

This year a total of £14,044.41 has been received from Revenue and Customs from quarterly gift aid claims, of this sum £665.75 was due to the Children’s Ministry Fund and £478.84 to the Fabric Fund 

We also received a further £314.18 from the annual Gift Aid and Small Donations Scheme (GASDS), which is paid against all the Open Plate donations from every service throughout the year. 

The grand total for the year 01/01/22 to 30/12/22 is **£14,358.59.** Thank you all. 

**Elizabeth Hacon Gift Aid Secretary** 



## **WHISTON PARISH CHURCH** 

## **(Saint Mary Magdalene)** 

## **Annual Parochial Church Meeting on 26[th] April 2023** 

## **Report from the Churchwarden on the Goods, Fabric, Ornaments and Surrounds of the Parish Church for the year ended 31[st] December 2022** 

## **Introduction** 

The church started the year still under the restrictions of the guidelines implemented by the government. These restrictions were gradually eased as the year progressed until they finally ceased with the return of refreshments after the Sunday morning service at the beginning of June. There was also a welcome return to holding meetings again in church, with several groups taking the opportunity to have face to face gatherings again. 

A number of the practices introduced during the Covid restrictions have continued as good practice, for example – the use of hand sanitiser before communion and the use of the one way system during communion. The church continues to have a thorough clean before each regular and life event service unless there is a sufficient time gap between services to make this unnecessary. 

## **Care of the Church Building** 

During the year work to care for the church building was carried out follows: 

1. The annual check of the fire extinguishers took place. 

2. The contract for the church’s broadband was renewed. 

3. Work was carried out on the lighting in church. All of the LED light bulbs in the main body of the church were replaced with the latest version of LED bulbs and all of the remaining lighting in church not already converted to LED lighting were changed as well. This means more economical lighting and a better quality of lighting in church. 

4. The external lighting at the front of church, which was originally installed as part of the Millennium project, has been replaced with LED lighting. The lighting to the rear of church will be replaced at some point in 2023. 

5. In August the church took part in the National Bats in Church survey. This included having specialist recording equipment installed in church for two nights to detect the presence of bats. No evidence was found of any bat presence in church. 

6. In October a periodic survey was carried out by our insurers, Ecclesiastical Insurance Group (EIG).  The last survey with EIG was in 2014, when a representative of the insurers visited Whiston. The telephone survey has replaced the visit. During the survey around 25 specific questions about the church were asked, covering a range of topics from security and health and safety to risk assessments. The survey was 



completed satisfactorily, and a Risk Management Report was received. There were no required (ie mandatory) actions and two recommended actions: to prepare and carry out health and safety risk assessments and to prepare and carry out a fire risk assessment. With the exception of the Covid risk assessments, it is some years since such assessments were carried out and documented. It would be well worthwhile to carry out relevant assessments over a period of time (say 12 months) but it will require setting up a small team of people to do this. 

7. An upgrade to the sound system was carried out in December at the quoted cost of £3,066. The major part of the upgrade was to change the radio mic system to UHF to overcome the dropping out and distortions associated with the old system. The new system appears to be working very well. 

8. Regrettably it was not possible to make any progress with the proposed replacement of the Rainwater Dispersal System or the installation of an aumbry. It is hoped that faculties for both of these projects will be submitted during 2023. 

## **Care of the Churchyard** 

It was another busy year in the churchyard, with the following work being carried out: 

1. In terms of routine maintenance, the grass was cut regularly and the churchyard continued to be maintained to a high standard by our grounds maintenance contractor, Andy Marshall. 

2. The usual heavy fall of leaves in the autumn was cleared by Andy Marshall over a period of several days, a big job for two men. They also removed the Christmas wreaths and tidied up the churchyard prior to Easter. 

3. The storms in the early part of the year caused damage to an ash tree which overhangs the public footpath between the west side of church and Lychgate House. Initial damage was dealt with by Andy Marshall, but subsequent more serious damage meant that a tree surgeon had to be brought in and the public footpath closed temporarily by the Council. 

4. In several areas of the churchyard the problem of grave subsidence, which is a recurring problem at Whiston, had become more serious. This was dealt with by Andy Marshall, but the work involved was more substantial than was first thought. 

## **Church Car Park** 

1. As reported last year, the state of the car park was a concern as there were several areas where potholes were a problem. The cost of carrying out the repairs falls to the church as the lessee of the car park. As the year progressed it became apparent that urgent action would be required before the winter as it had become a health and safety hazard. Following a recommendation from the Diocesan Surveyor, Hillcrest Surfacing of Maltby were appointed to carry out the repair at a cost of £8,760. The work was carried out satisfactorily in October. 



## **Summary** 

2022 was the year when normality – a new normality – returned and we were able to make progress and catch up with the maintenance and improvements that need to be done in a number of areas. There is, however, still much to do, particularly in relation to the rainwater dispersal system, to ensure that this beautiful Grade 2∗ building remains a beautiful place to worship God. 

Thank you everyone who has helped in any way to care for the church and the churchyard during these difficult times, it is greatly appreciated. Particular thanks are given to Alan Bradbury for his continuing support as Assistant Churchwarden. 

**As Churchwarden I am pleased to report that the Goods, Fabric, Ornaments and Surrounds of the Church are in good order, subject to the concerns about the rainwater dispersal system highlighted in this report.**

## **Safeguarding Officer’s Report** 

At Whiston Parish Church we take our collective responsibility for creating a safe and welcoming place for all and in particular for safeguarding those most vulnerable in our community. Safeguarding is a standing item on the agenda for every PCC meeting. The PCC complies with the following: 

- the safeguarding requirements laid down by the Diocese of Sheffield 

- the Church of England Safeguarding Policy and Practice Guidance 

- the House of Bishops’ guidance in relation to safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. 

In line with Church of England guidelines, enhanced DBS checks have now been carried out for 14 PCC members and for 18 volunteers who support our work with children and young people. These checks will be repeated every three years. Val Dunsford (Parish Safeguarding Officer) has completed the safeguarding leadership qualification and will be trained to deliver basic safeguarding training for PCC members and volunteers from April 2023. 

Over the past year no safeguarding issues have been raised with the Parish Safeguarding Officer and no referrals have been made to the Diocesan Safeguarding Team.

Parochial Church Council of St Mary Magdalene, Whiston Statement of Financial Activities for the Year Ended 31[st] December 2022 

## **Accounting Policies** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), Accounting and Reporting for Charities published in 2005 and applicable accounting standards.  These accounts have been prepared on a Receipts and Payments basis. 

All grants and voluntary income are accounted for gross when received. 

All expenditure is accounted for and when paid. 

Direct charitable expenditure includes the direct cost of activities.  Where cash costs relate to more than one functional category, they have been split as appropriate. 

## **Categories of Funds found in the accounts:** 

- **Unrestricted Funds** which are for general use in promoting any of the church’s purposes. 

- **Designated Funds** which are Unrestricted Funds that the PCC has set aside for a specific purpose.  An example is the charitable donations of the net income from the summer and Christmas Fairs. 

- **Restricted Funds** which have been donated for a specific purpose, e.g. Organ Renovation Fund. 

- **Endowment Funds** which have been donated with the condition that they are to be invested, the income only to be used for a specific purpose.  Our only example is the Parker Rhodes legacy invested with CCLA, with the income used for the upkeep of the family grave. 

## **Reserves Policy:** 

Our policy is to maintain sufficient unrestricted cash reserves to continue operating for at least three months in the unlikely event of our receiving no income from any source.  When unrestricted reserves fall below this level, the PCC makes their replenishment high priority.
