Informally at 2 'away days, to pray. d[s￿sS and conslder our vlslon for the

Synod reports were glven by the representative. Parfsh share, the
Quinquennial Report, buiklings review and action plan remalned a major

For some time, our vislon as a church has been to see'jesus In the heart
of our community,. After much discussion and prayer throughout 2024,
PCC have updated thls to 'Loving, Growing. Overflowlng,. This reflects, we
pray, the new vislon we feel God is calling us to and our new season with
Henry, Jane arKI Lou joining us.
To begin the year, PCC Met In January with 16 attendees. The Blble
readlng from Ephesians 3:20"Now unto him that is able to do exceedingly
abundantly atK>ve all that we ask or think, according to the power that
worketh In us" was a tlmely remlnder during thls vacancy that God the
Holy Spirlt Is at work and can do MO￿ than we can ask or imagine. We
remaln grateful to God for the visiting Clergy, Readers, Churchwardens
and all who helped with the servlce and contlnuing life of the church
durlng this time. Items on the Qulnquennial Report, the church hall terms
and condltions, and parish share contrlbutions were reviewed. Special

joined us for part of thls meeting with the good news of possibly adding to
the clergy at St. John's. APCM planning and increasing the funding
available for chlldren requiring help to attend residential trips were the
main topics discus*d.
In April we held our APCM to elect our churchwardens. deanery rep and
PCC members. A huge thank you to Richard England, Area Dean, for his

offer of a new curate and plans for a combined benefice with St. Peter and
Paul was discussed. Recognising that as trustees, we have to be good
stewards of the church's money, and noting the generosity of those
supporting social events hosted by St. John's, It was agreed unanlmously
to glvlng more generously to the 12 charities supported this year through
our tithing. To Set prlorltles for the season ahead, induding prayer and
fasting as we seek the Lord's help with our vision and make the church
more missional, PCC agreed to meet informally.
july's PCC meetlng had 18 attendees with Lou Collins. our new curate,
leading a time of devotion based on Ephesians 6, a timely reminder for all
to put on the whole armour of God. She noted that when we put on the
shoes of peace, it is an intentional act- one with purpose. We may step
out into unknown grounds, but know that God has d1￿ctionS in place and
we are not alone. Following much discussion and reflecting on how
blessed St. John s have been in the past year. and especially now having a
vicar and curnte, PCC agreed to meet its full contribution of parish share.

FUNDS
Unrestricted Funds
These represent the remaining income funds of the PCC that are available for spending

assets for its own use or for spending on a future project
These accounts do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main
affiliation to another body or informal gatherings of church members.
Restrirted Funds
The monies raised from hiring the hall and renting 7a have been thought of as a
restricted fund. The Church Pastoral Aid Trust own the church hall, 73 and surrounding
land held in trust for St John's and the capital is invested by the Circus Church Charity
whose charitable objects are to erect a church, a church hall and parsonage, to make
improvements or alterations thereto. To sell or let any premises not required and apply
the income to maintaining the buildings, maintaining the services and providing the
stipend of the minister.
At the PCC meeting of 11 November 2024 it was agreed that the funds listed as restricted
from the hall and 7a be classified as unrestricted from l January 2025 as the PCC'S
purpose is in line with Circus Church Charity as the work of St John's church in Fareham.
The special projects fund was closed as all funds have been allocated and the donor
agreed in writing that this was the case.
The funding from Prices Charity Trust for the education of those under 25 and living in
