The role of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) is to share leadership responsibility for the parish with the vicar. It also acts as the Board of Trustees for the church as a registered charity. The PCC met ten times during the year with all meetings after March being held virtually due to the coronavirus pandemic restrictions. Staff team members Patrick Coad and Karin Rayner were also regularly in attendance at PCC meetings. For much of the year due to illness and then a phased return to work, Kate has not been able to attend PCC meetings and the PCC is thankful to Peter Wells as Vice Chair for chairing its meetings and to Revd Richard Rugg, Associate Vicar of Holy Trinity Claygate, who has been providing support to the PCC and staff team. The PCC is very pleased to see Kate being able to return to her role, albeit part time for now.
The Finance Standing Committee dealt with all finance and urgent matters between PCC meetings, reporting regularly to the PCC. The PCC continued with a Mission: Far & Near Team, to look after the church's involvement in world mission, and Andy's Development Group to support Andy's management team in day-to-day matters as well as look to the future development of the Café. It established an Accessibility Team to advise on making the church buildings and services accessible to all and an Eco Church Team to advise on sustainability and care for God's creation. Following decisions in 2019, the PCC were very pleased to welcome Patrick Coad to the staff team in January as our Community & Youth Worker.

ST ANDREW'S CHURCH
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The major agenda item for the PCC at its meetings in 2020 after March was that related to the pandemic and the church's response to it with respect to its staff, buildings, services and community involvement. This has caused other initiatives (eg. accessibility and eco church) to be put on hold until life returns more to normal. The PCC is hopeful that it will be possible for these to be picked up and taken forward in 2021.
During the year, other matters dealt with by the PCC included; responding to the previous year's fire risk assessment of the church buildings (although, again, largely on hold since March), the repair to the roof, refurbishment and use of 25 Watercress Way and building security.
The PCC also received regular updates on our finances, buildings, Deanery Synod and safeguarding.
The PCC is thankful to its Treasurer, Ali Sanderson, and Finance Administrator, Alan McKnespiey, for all their work in looking after our finances and to all its other officers and staff for the work they do in running and supporting the church, particularly during what has been a very difficult year.
Rob Rattee - PCC Secretary
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Church Attendance
The average Sunday attendance on a usual Sunday (during October 2020) was 115 online and 35 adults in person.
During 2020 there was one baptism, of Arabella (below), one wedding, of Cathy Salmon with Matt Butt, and one funeral service, of Gordon Macey, held at St Andrew's. There were no confirmations. At the end of December 2020, the Electoral Roll stood at 198.
Helen Best - Parish Administrator
Church Building Report
The St Andrew's Church Quinquennial Inspection (QI) Report 2020 was received by the Churchwardens in the summer of 2020.
In response to the report the glass panels on the main church roof and the Chapel roof have all been replaced. By May 2021, remedial lead work on the main roof will be completed, and all lead will have been cleaned and treated with patination oil and SmartWater. The lifespan of the latter is 5 years so this will need to be redone around the time of the next QI (2025).
The soffits and fascias on the main church building were sanded down and re-stained in December 2020.
The Churchwardens have prioritised the jobs that need to be done to the church buildings in 2021. The next job will be lifting and disposing of the floor in the A2 hall, replacing the floor joists, and then fitting new, stronger, floorboards. A new vinyl floor covering in a dementia friendly colour will then be laid. This will be much easier to keep clean than the carpet that currently covers the floor. The work may be completed before , or soon after, the APCM takes place.

ST ANDREW'S CHURCH
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Vicar's Report
As I prayed about our verse for the Year for 2020, I had a sense that God was calling us to a season of waiting and listening. None of us had any idea how much our 2020 verse (above) would resonate through such a tough year. I felt God speaking of our need to wait expectantly. We were to be like the faithful Labrador in the image who is certain that a 'walk' will happen though he doesn't know the timing. Yet, whenever his master calls he is ready - lead in mouth!
And so, we went into 2020 with three discovery groups to listen expectantly to God as we explored becoming an ecochurch, a more accessible church, and a greater blessing to our community through Andy's Café now that Patrick Coad had joined us as our new Community & Youth worker. I also asked you to notice with me a concerning decline in the number of children and young people in our church groups and to pray with me about how we might need to change to become greater good news to all-ages in Goldsworth Park.
Those were the plans! But, as you know, a global pandemic happened, and God led us through an extraordinary time of loss, difficulty and challenge. A time during which we felt uprooted as so many of the familiar joys of life disappeared at home and in church. For some of us it was a time when we put down deeper roots to hold on to God like never before. For some of us it was a time of stepping back - forced to do so by age, health conditions, family responsibilities. Some of us were alone, isolated, without work. Others worked like never before juggling paid work responsibilities with home schooling, for example.
At church there was much change to worship, to fellowship and to the things that we love and took for granted. Many of you served in ways you never imagined you would; ministering like you have never ministered before. Thank you for all you have done during this year to continue to show God's love to one another and our community. I would like to particularly thank our staff team, our exceptional Church Wardens, Shani and Mandy, and also Archdeacon Martin and Revd. Richard Rugg who have supported our mission and ministry now that I have been diagnosed with the on-going health condition of M.E. I would also like to especially mention members of our band, our camera men, and our AV team for ensuring that our Sunday worship got 'out' of our building through live-streams and pre-records on YouTube and now, via Zoom services. A massive thank you to you from us all for your creativity, technical skills and generous service.
In the pages of this report instead of documenting what we did not do and what was not possible I have asked our team to highlight what our faithful God enabled, through their willing hands, heads and hearts and yours. I hope you will enjoy these snapshots, and that they will remind you of what is possible with God.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Vicar's Report (cont.)
But what of the time ahead of us? Some things we can work on again. We will continue to make our building more accessible and environmentally friendly in 2021. Some things, however, are unknown. We don't know exactly how worship will look, as we combine digital and physical services, though we are absolutely committed to continuing to offer on-line worship. We don't know exactly how children's groups and community groups will open up. Or how exactly Andy's Cafe will become a greater blessing to the community. And so, we will need to offer one another much grace as we live with the uncertainties that 2021 will throw up.
One thing is certain: God is still God. Our God. Our God who promises to be with us. What might God be saying to us at this time in a Verse for 2021? As I prepared our current teaching series, God led me to Isaiah 61.3 as a message for us to hold on to in these coming months:
You will be called Oaks of Righteousness that the LORD has planted to show His glory
God planted St Andrew's here on land that was once a nursery, among oak trees, to bring God's glory to this neighbourhood and beyond - a planting of the Lord. April marked our fortieth year as the Parish of Goldsworth Park. God has planted you here as his church to be his people of righteousness. A people who live right - in him as a people of grace, of forgiveness, and of hope even in challenging times. Oaks are strong, upright, useful. Oaks that grow together grow taller than those that grow alone. As God planted you, you can be sure that God is committed to your growth and flourishing - providing the right conditions for you to grow, and bring Him glory. So, let's put our roots down deep this year and be nourished by the Lord.
May God bless you as you grow in Christ Jesus With love, Kate

The year at St Andrew's
2020 @ St Andrew's
In 2020 we Zoomed a great deal! Zoom coffee, Zoom virtual choir, Zoom prayer meetings, Zoom PCC, youth groups, art group
The picture above is a Sunday Zoom Coffee catch-up.
We used cameras, and digital technology like never before. Sunday worship was filmed, pre-recorded and live-streamed via YouTube. The technology allowed services to 'break out' of our church building in a ways we'd never thought of before. For some of the team this was a steep learning curve, for others (as you can see from Patrick's photo below) it was a natural home.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The year at St Andrew's
We stayed connected to our Fusion Youth Groups on Fridays and Sundays - in worship, in prayer and in social time. Connecting on-line proved to be both a challenge and a joy! Supporting Tear Fund's Big Quiz was a highlight.
We missed Mary, Amanda, Ayman and the team at Andy's Community Café while they were on furlough during lockdown (not to mention the food, cakes and coffee!).
When open Cafe conversations like the one below convinced us of the need to keep Andy's accessible to all:
-
'Hi, what would you like?'
-
'Could I have a coffee? But I haven't got any money.'
-
'No problem. Would you like something to eat?'
-
'Yes - please - I haven't eaten for a few days.'
While Andy's Café was on shut down our community outreach continued through a partnership with Christian charity Foodwise. 350 meals a week were delivered to families and individuals in need in 2020.
Good to be able to provide a listening ear as well.
Our Summer 2020 teaching series for children & families covered the book of Daniel and included 6 specially produced Playmobil videos, and a pack of activities sent to each child.

The year at St Andrew's
We discovered new ways of helping families and children mark and celebrate the church seasons. As Remembrance Sunday was in the middle of a national lockdown, we organised a socially distanced way of pausing and reflecting using a poppy quest. Christmas in the community included weekly window Nativity Hunts and 'Do it Together' prayer trees.
In Church we had our first live-streamed Crib & Christingle Service which was watched by children & families all over the UK, not just in Goldsworth Park. Special packs were delivered to Skids children so they could take part in a Nativity Bingo and making a Christingle with a difference.
Our Small Groups carried on 'meeting' and loving one another through the whole year - some on Zoom, some via telephone calls, some via social distanced walks. David celebrated his 80th birthday recently and here he is enjoying celebrating it via zoom with his Small Group.
Before lockdown our Alpha Group enjoyed evenings together - warm, fun and special times. Our Small Groups loving cooked a meal for Alpha each week enabling us to enjoy dinner (and pudding ?? !!) together before thinking through questions of faith with our friends - such very lovely evenings. We completed the course on - you've guessed it - Zoom!

We had a socially distanced wedding in church. Congratulations Mr and Mrs Butt!
The Seniors team have produced 3 Seniors Gazettes since March 2020 which have been delivered to over 70 senior citizens from St Andrew's and the community.
32 Volunteers from St Andrews and the wider community supported 96 people in Goldsworth Park and beyond during the year through our network of Pastoral Care. Support included shopping, prescription collecting, cooking meals, delivering meals, phone calls, prayer, transport to vaccinations and socially distance walks. This was co-ordinated by our pastoral team.

The year at St Andrew's
The flame of Prayer continued to burn brightly throughout the pandemic in many ways, including the Prayer Ministry Team which has functioned throughout, including responding to requests for prayer from the church website. We prayed regularly for front line workers with connections to St Andrew's, circulating a prayer list to those interested. And when possible, the church was opened for private prayer and reflection.
Worship using digital media encouraged the creativity of our Sunday service leaders and preachers who employed confetti, popcorn, donkeys and much more to illustrate their points. (Not all of our worshippers we sure about these developments - see Maisy the dog below!)
On a monthly basis we provided a service sheet, words for hymns and a newsletter which have provided ways for our non-internet folk to continue to worship on Sundays and keep in touch with St Andrew's.
Tallulah sat in Andy's Café widow greeting children on their daily exercise, and regularly changing her outfits. She sent encouraging messages to children at Sythwood and Beaufort School via their newsletters and was our 'most engaged with' social media posts of 2020.
Mission Partners Becky & Stephen Dimmock, church planting in Manchester, sent a video update as visits were not possible.
We also received videos from Rachel Smith in Pakistan, Bishop Hannington Institute in Kenya, the Neale family with MAF in Papua New Guinea, the Knoops with Operation Mobilisation and Engage here in Woking.
All our Mission: Far & Near partners, whether here in the UK (Besom, Street Angels, Across and Engage) or further afield (this includes Talents Children's Mission in Kenya) had challenges this last year with COVID-19.

The year at St Andrew's
Our Mission: Far & Near support took various forms including prayer, practical, friendship and finance. In 2019 a total of £30,700 (16% of our 2019 donation income) was given to our ten partners and a further £650 for mission was raised through specific collections. A further £5,000 was donated to St Michael s, Sheerwater.
The Eco team stayed busy in the background, setting up a Facebook page and preparing to be raring to go when we are back in our building with lots of environmental ideas for us to get involved with! Eco-life-style pointers were sent out regularly through 2020. Look out for all the exciting developments coming up this year, and contact Julie May if you would like to know more

The year at St Andrew's
You might think that not much went on in St Andrew's Bump to Beyond and Toddler groups this past year - but you'd be wrong :! Many conversations via WhatsApp, Zoom, Lake side meet ups, as well as the odd photo opportunity along the way has meant that friendships have remained strong, and relationships have grown deeper. Truth be told, yes, we have all missed each other, but we are all very excited about the groups re-opening! Above are just a few of the many memories, including Bump to Beyond's Easter Bonnet Competition and Toddler group fun and activities (all socially distanced!). Thank you to all who made it possible.
2020 was a year of Zoom Sing Gold, for Goldsworth Park's Community Choir... an experience not to be missed.
And St Andrew's art group continued to meet by phone, e-mail, regular Tuesday night zoom sessions and when, conditions allowed, socially distant chats.

The year at St Andrew's
Our Hearing Aid Clinic team members provided telephone support, mailed advice sheets, delivered batteries to homes and, when the need was desperate, twice worked on hearing aids in the car. Full safety precautions were taken including full PPE, distancing and sanitisation of instruments.
Our team of nine Hearing Champions looks forward to resuming clinics when they are able to do this safely, and hope to resume their place as the busiest clinic in Guildford Diocese.
All in all 2020 is a year to be remembered!

In addition to the day-to-day expenditure of the Church there were costs associated with two improvement projects: £20,000 for roof repairs was partly offset by a £2,500 grant from Surrey County Council.

Reserves
This has been achieved throughout the year.
The Reserves Policy was reviewed at the APCM in autumn 2020 and continues to be reviewed by the PCC as it is felt that with a stable income flow, we may be being too prudent in requiring reserves of liquid assets equivalent to as much
