The PCC (Powers) Measure 1956 states that the PCC _“is to co-operate with the minister in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical”._ The PCC is also specifically responsible for the effective operation and maintenance of the Church and Parish Centre including the buildings. ## **THE CHURCH: ITS AIMS AND OBJECTIVES** The Church is not a building, but a gathering of people of different ages and backgrounds, whose lives have been changed by Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at Holy Trinity, Frogmore. When planning our activities, we have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit, and in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. Holy Trinity has further developed a Mission Action Plan (2019 - 2021) summarised in these aims and priorities: ## **Our Aim** To **Sow** , making contact with individuals and seeking to bring the Gospel of Jesus into their lives. To pray that they may come to **Know** Jesus for themselves and have a personal relationship with him. To help each person **Grow** as a disciple of Jesus in the family of the church. To **Go** as a church family in service of him. ## **Our Priorities** **Proclamation** of God’s word, the bible, through public preaching, personal bible study and conversations. **Prayer:** depending on the Holy Spirit to empower this work. **People:** God’s family of disciples who love others, both inside and outside the church. **Perseverance:** as God’s work bears fruit in his timing and involves long-term commitment. This means we will seek: - Having Bible-centred, prayerful and welcoming church services and groups that God can use to bring about transformation in people’s lives. - Reaching out to all kinds of people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, through creative evangelism that involves every church member, being ready to break out of our comfort zone, always depending on God. - Encouraging members to see Christian service as an integral part of discipleship and equipping them to grow their God-given gifts and use them. 2 To facilitate this, it is important to ensure the continued maintenance of the fabric of the Church building and Parish Centre. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** The PCC is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC is a charity (registered number 1154053) registered with the Charity Commission. The appointment of PCC members is governed by the Synodical Government Measure: Church Representation Rules. All baptised Christians attending the church are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll enabling them to vote at the APCM 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 on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. New members receive initial training in the workings of the PCC. The PCC met 7 times during 2020, with 6 of the meetings taking place via Zoom or phone link, and with around 80% attendance. The PCC has a Standing Committee which meets from time to time in between main meetings for more urgent decisions. The Vicar and churchwardens are responsible for the day-to-day management of the church within the overall policy established by the PCC and carried out by the clergy, staff and a host of volunteers. ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 2020 has been another exciting year of seeing God at work in our church and community, and we are grateful for the large body of volunteers who have worked so hard to facilitate these activities. It was also a year like no other, with the impact of Covid-19 pandemic. From March 2020 our church life changed dramatically. Our aim from the beginning was to continue all of our ministries online or in the best form possible during lockdowns. Some activities have had to stop for the time being, but most were able to keep going in some form. Pastoral care of one another also adapted to the new circumstances. Other highlights and changes during covid-19 are noted in the following areas: ## **Mission and Evangelism** We hosted one online Christianity Explored course during the year, enabling individuals to find out more about Jesus and the good news (‘gospel’) he brings, in a relaxed and accessible setting. It was an encouragement to see church members bringing along friends and family members to participate in this excellent course. Together with eight other local churches, Holy Trinity sponsored the visit of the Saltmine Theatre Company to twelve primary schools in mid-Herts in March 2020. In each school, a team of three young actors spent a half-day presenting a play exploring the themes of God’s love and forgiveness and providing a set of three lesson plans and worksheets based on the parable of the Prodigal Son. This was only 60% of the planned two-week tour as the second week coincided with schools closing as a measure to combat the spread of coronavirus. The play was presented 12 times to over 2,300 of the initially projected 4,600 pupils and to around 140 staff, with 12 workshops run for nearly 700 pupils. The Saltmine Theatre Team received bed and breakfast hospitality from members of our congregation. We began the year with our usual after-school Hotshots club, bringing in around 20 children from the local area and teaching from Luke’s gospel each week until Covid-19 forced us to close. We got back up and running in the summer with an online holiday club, streamed live via YouTube. It had a hero theme, learning from Mark’s gospel about Jesus, the greatest hero who saves us. Then we met socially distanced at the local park in the afternoons for some more challenges. Around 50 children signed up for this and many more joined online, so we’ve since run similar, one-off Hotshots live streams for bonfire night and Christmas. 3 We continue to enjoy a close relationship with Park Street Primary School. This year, the Vicar, Curate and Children’s Worker between them led approximately 30 school assemblies. From the beginning of the pandemic these were produced as videos and used at school or by families during home-school. Our usual special services at Easter, Harvest, Leavers’ service Christmas carols were not possible in church. However online or outdoor alternatives happened successfully. A Harvest Festival was also led at How Wood School by our vicar and Children’s worker. It is a delight to have connections with our local community and to be able to share the good news of Jesus with the next generation. Our local seniors meet fortnightly for our In Touch meetings on site and enjoy a cooked meal with fellowship which has enabled us to keep in touch with each other and with God in our times together. From March 2020, our meetings were curtailed due to Covid-19. However, we have been able to stay connected with our members by way of an In Touch Buddy System of fortnightly telephone calls made by In Touch Team Members together with a supporting newsletter and by listening in to a recorded Gospel message by dialling 01727 638222 at any time. Coffee & Kids is an outreach group for Adults and Children meeting every Wednesday morning in school term time, between 10 and 11.45am. Coffee, teas and biscuits are provided, and our aim is to encourage Church families and those in the community to join us. It is a play group for children aged 0 to 4, when they go on to nursery. We provide activities and toys to help children to play and learn. We have a drink break for the children providing a healthy little snack for them. After the break we provide a quiet time, for children and Adults to sit and hear a story from the Bible. We try to focus this for the children to understand and encourage the adults to join in and help their children to take part in any actions. Also, we have a sing along time for the children and Adults. Our team of 5 volunteers, try to make it fun and enjoy talking and encouraging people to come to Holy Trinity on a Sunday. Regrettably due to the COVID19 we were forced to close our doors in March and were not able to restart in 2020. Leaders with school children have kept in touch with mothers and children from the local area. During 2020 we celebrated 1 thanksgiving, 0 baptisms and 0 weddings. We held 8 funerals in the church environs (either in the building or the graveyard depending on Covid restrictions at the time), 4 funerals at a Crematorium and 4 committals/burial of ashes. ## **Equipping and Training** Our Growth Groups have had to adapt to the Coronavirus pandemic. Five of the six groups continued to meet on Zoom, with one group moving to receiving regular phone calls and Bible study questions by post and meeting in the Church Garden for a period during the summer of 2020 when this was allowed. Once a month our Growth Groups disband and instead, we meet as an entire church family to pray for the needs of our church, our community, the world, and one another. From March onwards these prayer meetings took place on Zoom. We ran our home-made EPIC course three times this year. The name is an acronym of "Everyone perfect in Christ" from Colossians 1v28 and the course uses material from Ephesians, Colossians and Matthew 28 to explore and explain our church's mission action plan and the part we can all play in God's big plan for our world. The March course was the largest, functioning as our Lent Course this year. 28 people began meeting in the Parish Centre and finished off online due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The subsequent two courses took place on Zoom in May and while the groups were much smaller, that enabled some excellent discussion in a more intimate setting. It's very pleasing that as of summer 2020 the majority of our adult regulars have now engaged with the material in this course. ## **Worship and Prayer** Our regular 9am and 10:30 am services continued as normal in 2020 until the middle of March when we were forced to move to live streaming by the first national lockdown. This was a sharp learning curve for all of us, but within a few weeks (and with the help and support of a few people from within the church) we found a method which worked for us, which enabled the leader and preacher to be live and other members of the church family to contribute pre-recorded videos (including for songs). Our system gradually evolved 4 over time as we had spells back in the church building and others in which we were able to live stream from the church (even when a congregation were not allowed to attend). We also produced "thought for the day" videos for the first few months of the pandemic, which were also accessible on our YouTube channel - these were really appreciated by some in the church, and we hope encouraged them in their daily Bible reading. These services provided opportunities to welcome guests, inform enquirers, nurture new believers, and spur on those who have been Christians for some time. The year began with the usual groups for children and young people at the 10:30 service. When the services moved online, so did the children’s provision. At first, a weekly Families Together video was made for church families to watch together after the service, looking further and in a more child-friendly way at the passage taught to the whole church family. When we were allowed to meet in person again, Families Together moved into the hall at church on a Sunday afternoon. Between 3 and 10 Families brought cushions and snacks and sat in taped out areas on the floor to learn together. When lockdown got tighter, we moved online to Zoom and continued teaching the whole family together. Ignite, our weekly club for years 7-11, continued throughout the year, albeit that the way we ran it had to change several times due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite this numbers held fairly steady through the year, with a core of six children and another few on the fringe of the group. We began the year meeting in the Parish Centre looking at Paul's first letter to the Christians in Thessalonica, under the title "The Real Thing", but halfway through the term we had to switch to meeting on Zoom - which went surprisingly well, and we continued to have a good time. After Easter we turned to the book of Proverbs for our teaching (which also shapes the games we play and the discussions we have), still meeting on Zoom. As we started back in September it was a joy to be able to meet face to face again, socially-distancing under the marquee in the church garden, applying alcohol gel before and after any games, and studying the book of Exodus together. Another lockdown in November forced us back on to Zoom again, before we finished the term and had a unique but enjoyable masked-up Christmas party back in the Parish Centre. As of October 2020, the electoral roll stood at 96; this was a decrease of three from 99 in April 2019. Peak attendance at Christmas was 93 at two socially distanced carol services on the same afternoon (2019: 173 at one carol service) and at Easter was 77 online devices (2019: 121 in person). We were edified and equipped by sermon series on Genesis, Esther, John, Job, Growing Disciples, Ruth, Big Questions for a PostCoronavirus World and Philippians. ## **Pastoral Care** The Vicar, Curates, Wardens and Pastoral Care team continue to ensure that where people are unable to attend Sunday services due to sickness or infirmity they are visited and can celebrate communion if they request it. The church’s Growth Groups mentioned above function as a basic unit of pastoral care for many. The Pastoral Care team ensures that where church members are in need, they receive support and guidance; especially where needs are greater than a Growth Group can minister to, or where someone is not part of a group. At the beginning of the COVID pandemic in March 2020 we introduced a “buddying” scheme for church members, both via Home Groups and partners to enable us all to have at least one church member who we could maintain contact with while everything was closed down. None of us expected it to be still going on all year, but we are grateful to all that this scheme kept going and enabled the leadership team to know any developments that they needed to be aware of. ## **Safeguarding** We take the wellbeing of our children, young people and vulnerable adults extremely seriously and all groups are fully staffed by leaders appointed in compliance with our safeguarding policy. The PCC has fulfilled its responsibilities as required by section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016, to have regard to the House of Bishops’ Guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. There were no safeguarding incidents in 2020. 5 Due to COVID 19 and “lockdown” much of the Safeguarding training has been on hold. But some courses have begun to be offered online and as we begin to open up again in 2021, we will need to ensure that all the leaders and helpers of various groups have completed the latest courses. Our Deputy Safeguarding Officer retired at the end of 2020 and we are very grateful for her work among the vulnerable adults, especially ‘In Touch.’ ## **Other Partnerships** Three members of the PCC sat on the Deanery synod from January – October, reducing to two members from October 2020. This provides the PCC with important links between the parish and the wider structure of the Church of England. The only Deanery Synod meeting of 2020 was held on 12[th] March at St. Luke’s Church, St. Albans. We were informed that the date by which the Church of England was aiming to be carbon neutral had been brought forward from 2045 to 2030. We are actively involved in the Anglican Church Worldwide with ongoing links through Anglican mission agencies (Crosslinks, CMJ) to Christian workers in a number of other countries including the Republic of Ireland, Israel and Uganda. We pray for these individuals, receive regular updates (and occasionally very heartening visits, although this was not possible in 2020 because of Covid travel restrictions, and give regular financial support to some of these agencies. We also support Tearfund relief agency, St Albans and Harpenden Christian Education Project, and CPAS. Volunteers from our church serve each summer on CPAS Ventures for young people. We are members of the Three Counties Gospel Partnership and take part in an annual training event for Christian leaders. The church leaders also attend Diocesan Evangelical Fellowship and ReNew network groups. ## **BUILDINGS REPORT** The PCC wants the Parish Centre to be available to our community. The Parish Centre is generally open during the week, during the mornings when the office is open. Other events are regularly run outside of this core time. The Parish Centre is available for hire by the public. We encourage regular bookings of local community groups, for example ‘Socca Tots’, ‘Tennis Champs’ and ‘Love to Dance’. The halls are also available for hire for private events as well. The latest quinquennial inspection was conducted in September 2018 and a number of works were carried out in 2020 as a consequence. There has been much to be thankful for, as part of our Church’s Mission Action Plan we were able to fully complete our Church Interior Refurbishment Programme by December 2020 at a cost of £130,321. The refurbishment included a new Audio-Visual System at a cost of £70,044 which amongst other things has enabled us to stream our services to a wider audience, and £60,277 to repaint and redecorate the Church as well as replacing the floor covering and carpeting. Following a recent Security Review of our Parish Centre (Church Halls) four of our wooden doors have been replaced with stronger Aluminium doors as supported by our Ecclesiastical Insurers. We are in the process of reviewing our need for some outside CCTV. ## **LOOKING FORWARD** The PCC is keen to ensure that the current range of activities are maintained where they are needed and are of benefit to the church and the community. However, it is important that other opportunities continue to be sought. 6 ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** It is the policy of the PCC to hold the equivalent of six months’ general running costs, including salary costs, in unrestricted cash reserves. The PCC further resolves to aim to use any restricted funds where possible in order to simplify the church's reserves. Receipts for the year were £216,599.99 and payments £295,411.48. This gave rise to a deficit of £78,811.49. The closing funds as at 31 December 2020 were £102,750.19 of which £39,779.89 were unrestricted. ## **GRANT MAKING POLICY** Gifts to external organisations and individuals are considered by the Trustees on the basis of need and fulfilment of the charitable objectives. There are no upper or lower limits of support. ## **RISK MANAGEMENT** All major insurable risks are subject to normal churches’ and employers’ insurance. Contractual risks are reviewed before being entered into to assess that they could not significantly impact upon the church’s ability to fulfil its objectives. An annual review of areas of risk is undertaken by the Trustees in conjunction with staff and volunteers responsible for the area of activity. ## **STATEMENT OF PCC RESPONSIBILITIES** Under the Charities Act 2011, the PCC is required to prepare a statement of accounts for each accounting year. It is responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the church and to ensure that such accounts comply with the Statements of Recommended Practice and the Regulations made under the Charities Act 2011. It also has a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the church and to take reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and other irregularities and to provide reasonable assurances that: 1. The church is operating efficiently and effectively 2. Its assets are safeguarded against unauthorised use or disposition 3. Financial information used within the church or for publication is reliable 4. The church complies with relevant laws and regulations Approved by the PCC on 29 March 2021 and signed on its behalf by the PCC Chairman, the Rev’d Dr Nicholas Weir ___________________________________________ Rev’d Dr Nicholas Weir 7 thyr¢h Collecthns and Slandlng Orders Tax Rebate on GIftAld Insurance Clalm Gas Refund 9Lf17.10 IW5.54 o. 82037.58 19.681.68 7A30.00 o.( L092X¥I 42A3L40 Donatkn5 and Le8aLy Patlsh Centre 92&1X) 66,24930 1121169 Youth Worker Pl￿£e$ Llfe Expo Burlals ete Weekend Awav Youth.
