Elected Members
Mrs Margaret Barnett Mrs Karen Blackman Mrs Wendy Breeze (Safeguarding Officer) Mrs Diane Mead Mr Andrew Morris Mrs Su O’Neill – Treasurer & PCC Secretary Mr Steve Pond Mrs Anne Stone Mrs Tina Allen (Until 2020 APCM)- Agreed to continue as Electoral Roll officer.
Membership of the PCC is determined under the Church Representation Rules and consists of certain ex-officio members: The Incumbent and Assistant Curate, the Churchwardens, and members of the Deanery Synod. Up to 12 members of the congregation are elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM). Members are encouraged to stand for election to the PCC and we try to ensure a balance of skills and experience where possible. There is a Standing Committee, which will meet to deal with any urgent matters on behalf of the PCC.
The PCC appoints working groups when required, to focus on particular aspects of church life.
Mrs Su O’Neill acts as Minute Secretary for PCC meetings.
Objectives and Activities
The primary objective of St Mary’s PCC is the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ in accordance with the traditions of the Church of England. The PCC has the responsibility of working with the Incumbent in sharing in God’s mission to the world, especially within the ecclesiastical parish. This is reflected in its pastoral, evangelistic, social, and ecumenical work.
The PCC also has a responsibility for promoting and developing the ethos and work of its church Aided school, which includes nominating suitable candidates to act as Foundation Governors.
The PCC has responsibility for maintaining and promoting the use of its community hall, which is used by various local groups and organisations on a regular basis, as well as providing a well-equipped community facility.
The PCC has ownership of St Mary’s Cottage, (attached to the Vicarage), which is rented out on a semi-charitable basis. Management of the cottage was transferred to Mayhews Property Management during the back end of 2019. This has reduced the workload and responsibilities of the wardens and created a more professional relationship with the tenants.
The aims and objectives set out for 2020 were as follows.
-
To increase the regular congregation.
-
To engage more effectively with families and the wider community for them to take a fuller part in the life of the church.
-
To take seriously the responsibility of caring for God’s creation.
Clearly, the Covid-19 Pandemic has had a huge effect on our worshipping life together. Public worship was banned from March 2020 until July 2020 and again in November (though private prayer was allowed). Services were continued throughout the year despite this closure and were live streamed on our Facebook account. This has
3
continued throughout the year. As a result of the pandemic, with many of our congregation worshipping from home, our attendance numbers have dropped significantly.
-
Our regular Sunday congregation has decreased from an average of 92 to an average of 53 including children (according to 2020 parish returns). This does not include those people watching the service from home, which ranged between 10-35 at various times of the pandemic. It is worth noting that the ‘views’ recorded on the videos are not a reliable estimation of how many people actually watched the service.
-
In an effort to engage with the parish more effectively during this time of pandemic, additional services have been established such as the Tuesday evening mass and the Friday afternoon shielding mass. We have also increased the number of services that took place outside, in an effort to reach more people in a safe way.
Achievements and Performance
1. Church Attendance
There were 129 members on the church Electoral Roll as at the 2020 APCM; 54 of whom were not resident within the parish. The average weekly attendance (Sundays and weekdays, and excluding school services), counted during October (including the Harvest Thanksgiving), was 131. In addition to worship within the church, clergy regularly visit members of our community who find it difficult to visit St Mary’s and minister to them in their homes.
During the current pandemic, members of the PCC and clergy have endeavoured to contact all members on the electoral roll via telephone calls or emails.
2. Review of the year
The full PCC met three times during the year (March, September and November) with an average level of attendance of 74%. Meeting frequency was reduced due to Covid. From September 2019 the frequency of PCC meetings was changed to every other month, and three new sub-committees were set-up (Social and Fundraising, Worship, and Mission and Evangelism) to work alongside the three more established ones (Stewardship and Finance, Eco Group and Premises Working Group). The Working groups met between meetings and notes of their deliberations were received by the full PCC and discussed where necessary.
As was noted in last years report, new sub-committees were established to try and engage the talents of the congregation, and to release the PCC to be able to focus on mission and ministry as well as their other more practical duties. Meetings were held by some of the groups in the first part of 2020, especially the eco-group and the social and fundraising group. Ideas were formulated and plans were being put together for several activities throughout the year, which sadly, for obvious reasons, were cancelled. It is hoped that such events and meetings can resume later in 2021.
St Mary’s Church continued to produce a monthly e-newsletter which is sent out by email to 137 recipients. Due to the pandemic, those who had been receiving a hard copy prior to the pandemic were switched to receiving an electronic copy, where possible, and it was also uploaded to the church website each month and could be accessed through our Facebook page. The e-newsletter gives detailed reviews of events that have taken place as well as more detailed information about future events at St Mary’s. Also, key diocesan news and parish letters from Bp Martin and senior Diocesan clergy are included and highlights of a range of events being held

at Chichester Cathedral are flagged up. This is edited by Karen Blackman who puts a huge amount of effort into creating it. We are very grateful to her for all her efforts.
Our presence on social media goes from strength to strength via our Facebook page . It continues to be a valuable ‘mission for growth’ tool, enabling us to communicate effectively with those in the church family, as well as those on the fringes of our family and crucially to those in our community and parish who we are especially trying to reach out to. We currently have 419 followers on our Facebook page, an increase of 236 people from last year’s report .
Eco-Church, Fairtrade and Justice and Peace
Covid restrictions affected our activities greatly and sadly we had to cancel our plans to observe Earth Hour in the church, but the congregation were encouraged to have an hours quiet reflection in their own home using as little power as possible and considering how they could “cherish God’s creation”.
Christian Aid house to house collections could not be undertaken but people were encouraged to donate on line or by post.
We did squeeze in the Fair Trade breakfast during FT fortnight at the end of February 2020 and managed to distribute the FT Easter eggs that had been ordered. Our last monthly stall took place in March.
Our Green Sunday this year was celebrated on line, with some of the eco group reflecting on how their faith affected their attitude to the environment. These were posted on St Mary’s face book page. As usual people were asked to consider their impact on the environment and the church used the C of E online tool to calculate their carbon footprint, which actually was higher than that calculated 5 years ago. There could be many reasons for this hopefully just due to an increased use of the church building.
St Mary’s continues to support the Justice and Peace group in areas of homelessness, prison visiting and refugee action.
The Diocesan Charity FSW has been well supported by St Mary's with donations of food, clothing and gifts of approximately £750 throughout 2020 in addition to undisclosed monetary donations sent directly to FSW HQ at Garton House.
The annual Beetle Drive raised £400(approximately) whilst other planned events were inevitably cancelled.
Kelly the Practitioner for East Grinstead did manage a Christmas visit to Chequer Mead with some of the supported families. This generosity has enabled our FSW Practitioner to sustain shopping deliveries to local families in need and will continue to do so. The FSW East Grinstead Deanery Committee looks forward to resuming fundraising events as restrictions allow and sends thanks to St Mary's for helping to make a difference both locally and across Sussex.
St Mary’s has continued to make various donations towards the following charitable organisations.
-
FSW – via the 2019 Tree Festival and Beetle Drive
-
Water Aid – via the Tree Festival
-
Christian Aid (during Christian Aid Week)
-
Crawley Open House-(Harvest produce)
-
Alzheimer Society
-
Royal British Legion (Poppy Appeal)

St Mary’s has continued to collaborate with other denominations through events such as the Annual World Day of Prayer and Christian Aid . We continue to have representatives on the East Grinstead Street Pastors Team as well as members who volunteer at and/or are trustees to the East Grinstead Foodbank .
St Mary's has continued to raise funds for the Royal British Legion through their Poppy Appeal . In addition, two members of our church family, Lynda and John Railton, have continued to be Joint Poppy Appeal Organisers for East Grinstead.
Spiritual growth of our church family members was encouraged in 2020 by Study Courses being offered during the beginning of the year. Fr Adam also put together Holy Week Packs that were sent out to everyone on the electoral roll. These were well received and included a palm cross, teaching on Holy Week, devotional materials and craft activity ideas.
Holy Week Packs being put together in the Vicarage.
During our Mass on Epiphany Sunday, a film crew recorded our worship as part of the teaching material for ‘Bread of Life’, an exciting new teaching course focusing on the Mass. A big thank you to the ten ‘volunteers’, namely Raj, Ruth, Wendy, Sarah H, James, Bamber, Margaret, Sara, David G and Fr Adam who agreed to be filmed answering two questions about their faith ('What first drew you to the Sacrament of the Eucharist?' and ‘How has the Eucharist changed your life?') and in particular the ways in which the receiving of Holy Communion has a special meaning for them.

It was pleasing that two regular members of our congregation, Louise Knock and Ruth Blackman, by permission of Bishop Martin, were commissioned as authorised Lay Minsters of Holy Communion on Sunday 9th February during the 10am Mass.
St Mary’s continued to be blessed by a loyal choir, choirmaster and organist who have led our singing, when permitted to, over the course of 2020. We have continued to have servers at Sunday masses as far as possible, and throughout 2020 our dedicated team of Sacristans have continued to work hard. Welcomers, Readers and Flower arrangers have played their part in our ministry throughout the year, and a small but reliable group of people have regularly cleaned areas of the church such as pews etc. to ensure that our worship has been able to take place in a Covid secure way. We are especially grateful to those people who have supported out ministry during this most difficult time.
3. Young people and children
The link with our school has continued to be maintained and strengthened. School Masses and the School’s celebratory assemblies (Gold assemblies) have been held in church, as far as it has been possible and given the restrictions in place. Fr Adam continued to lead weekly Collective Worship with the school either in church, classrooms or via video throughout the year.
Links between our uniformed organisations have been maintained. Sadly however, parade services have not been able to happen. Fr Adam has continued to minister to the Royal Air Force Cadets and Officers from the 1343 East Grinstead Squadron, to whom he serves as Padre.

Sadly, Parish Family Masses and Kidz Club have not been able to happen as regularly as they usually would have. They have gone ahead when possible and for this, we are very grateful. We hope to be able to re-establish regular family and children’s services in the near future.
We were very pleased to be able to hold our Pancake Party in February before the national lockdown took place. This was very well attended by many of our families and was well supported by volunteers from the congregation.

As part of the Lent packs that were sent out to the electoral roll, our young people (and the young at heart, one creative participant is in her 90’s!) were asked to decorate their front doors for Easter. This sparked a wave of creativity with some making fantastic displays, Easter Gardens and lots of sweet treats.

The Foundation Governors continued to represent the interests of the Church on the Governing Body of the school. There are currently two vacancies on the Governing Body for Foundation Governors.
During 2020 Wendy Breeze commenced service as the Safeguarding Officer.
As was noted above, St Mary’s increased the number of outdoor services this year, in an effort to reach people who were either not regular members of our congregation, or who were uncomfortable being in the church building. We held an outdoor Remembrance Service both on VE day and Armistice Day as well as an outdoor Advent service, our annual ‘carols around the Oak Tree’ service and two outdoor nativity services (the second owing to the first being fully booked!). The Christmas services especially were well attended, with over 250 attending.

Quotes from FacebookFantastic!! The event was much appreciated looking forward to the next one. Thank you so much.
So lovely to sing hymns again with God’s family having not done it since March Some photos from our outdoor services
4. Links to Retirement and Nursing homes
Pastoral visits have not been possible this year, however, services are watched via our Facebook page at several of the care homes in the town.

5. Community Enrichment
Owing to the pandemic and the national restrictions that have been applied, our mission and outreach has been significantly reduced, and in many cases, stopped altogether. That being said we have been able to continue the worship and live streaming of masses throughout the pandemic, and the church has been open for worship and private prayer whenever this was not expressly forbidden by law. We were able to hold a small
Christmas Fair that raised over £700, our thanks to those people who helped run that event.
We carried out the annual distribution of St Mary’s Christmas Cards across the whole parish detailing our Christmas services. St Mary’s was one of the few churches in the area that remained open for Christmas. This has seen an increase in ‘newcomers’ to St Mary’s, predominantly those people who usually worshipped elsewhere, but due to the closure of their churches, have come to us to receive the sacrament. Our social media presence has also been a way in which new people have started
attending our church.
We took part in the national ‘clap for key workers’ each week by ringing our bells and live streaming prayers for key workers. We were also able to help in the distribution of food parcels for children from our school who would normally receive free school meals.

Working parties were held throughout 2020 to carry out minor repairs and maintain the good appearance of the church, church hall and grounds, resulting in a reduction of costs for the PCC, and the effective use of people’s time and expertise.

7 Financial Review
Receipts & Payments - The total receipts on general unrestricted funds received were £91,856.25. The total receipts on restricted funds were £126.98. The total funds received on endowed funds were £5,529.83. Making a grand total of receipts as £97,513.06. The total expenditure on general unrestricted funds were £86,372.66. There was no expenditure from the restricted or endowed funds. These figures are detailed in the Financial Statements.
The planned giving through standing orders and envelopes continues to be our focus for regular income. Use of the Parish Giving Scheme continues, and we would like to encourage more members to use it, as it enables us to immediately reclaim the Gift Aid on any giving through this scheme.
The amount of Income tax recovered via the PGS (DD giving) was £5,382.04. The amount of Income tax recovered via HMRC (SO giving) was £7,005.01). Total Gift Aid recovered £12,387.05).
The largest expenditure of the PCC was the sum of £45,000 paid to the Diocese as the Parish Share. This amount covers the housing, clergy stipend/pension/training, parish support costs including the work done at Church House, and also a contribution to national church funds.
Due to Covid restrictions most of our fund raising activities were unable to take place. Therefore only £716.62 was raised through fund raising compared with £12,077.86 in 2019. We did however receive some very generous ad hoc donations from some of our parishioners, £6,644.45 in total.
11
Due to Covid the Church Hall remained mostly closed and therefore income was drastically reduced with all regular payments ceasing by the end of May. Any church cleaning was undertaken by volunteers and therefore no salary was paid to anyone from April onwards. Income of £4,449.35 for 2020 (in 2019 the figure was £11,290.25).
As live music was another Covid restriction salary paid for the organist was suspended for some of 2020.
The management of The Cottage rental is managed by Mayhews and there is now a regular income of £800.00 less £96.00 management fees, totalling £704.00 per month, so annually £8,448. With some late rental payments from 2019 less some large repairs total £2020 and insurance, net income for The Cottage is £5,187.82.
During 2020 we were able to pay the agreed reduced Diocesan fee of £3,750 per month, totalling £45.000 for 2020. This will be increased by £100.00 per month for 2021, but is still below what is expected.
Following the 2020 Independent Examination of Accounts it was noted that the 100 Club income and expenditure had not been included in previous years’ figures. The 2020 accounts now include these figures.
Reserves Policy
It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on the general unrestricted funds (excluding property) which equates to approximately two months' worth of unrestricted payments as a contingency against unforeseen situations.
As well as holding the above general reserves, from time to time the PCC receives restricted legacies for expenditure on particular purposes, defined by the donor. We aim to expend such money as soon as possible after receiving the legacy, depending on the specific objectives of the donor. Where we have identified that the specific purpose can only be achieved by delaying the expenditure, we invest the legacy temporarily until such time as the need for expenditure is identified.
