Annual Report 2020

A very different report to the previous year due to the COVID pandemic and various stages of lockdown.

In the year Jan-Dec 2020 there were 0 baptisms, 0 weddings, 0 renewal of wedding vows, 8 funerals in church, 13 funerals at the crematorium, 3 burials in the churchyard, 14 interment of ashes and 3 burials in other cemeteries and churchyards.

Pre-Covid restrictions we held a very successful Church Family New Year Party at Harwood Golf Club and plan to do so again in January 2022. After Christmas we continued with assemblies in the local schools; Awesome met at St Catherine’s, our annual Churches in Harwood service of Prayer for Christian Unity was held at St Brendan’s; The Lounge Café was open each Friday; Little Fishes met each Wednesday afternoon in Church; Messy Church met in January; there was some excellent Social Media Training led by a member of our congregation; our Frugal Lunch and Reflections began each Thursday during Lent; we held our Anniversary Mission Action Planning (MAP) celebration service on 8 March followed by a shared lunch.

Following lockdown and subsequent social distancing, our Bereavement Team were able to get alongside those who were suffering via telephone. They also held meetings regularly via Zoom.

We set up a weekly online service which included a sermon, modern and traditional hymns, prayers, readings, the weekly notice sheet and an online Sunday School. This is still continuing. For the small number of our congregation who are not online, they were sent a service each week by post which contained the above (apart from the hymns and Sunday School) so they could continue to be part of the fellowship of Christ’s Church Harwood and able to worship each week.

An online quiz night via Zoom as a fundraiser and to bring people together.

We couldn’t hold our usual annual Moving On Service this year, but as there were 14 youngsters, a special service was held at 12noon on Sunday 13 September for them and their families in church, where they received their Bibles and we met all COVID Secure rules. We were able to hold our Harvest festival service and Christmas Toy service, albeit in a different way, which were very successful and including community donations. Our Christmas services included an outdoor carol service which was streamed live on Facebook, an online Christmas Fair, Christmas tree festival, a live Nativity in the Lych Gate, and a Christmas Eve Round the Crib service online.

Our FISH (Sunday School) group were only able to meet 3 times before lockdown, Events group one meeting, Mothers Union 3 times. Our CHYP/WAVES youth group held a couple of meetings before lockdown and then moved on to online Zoom meetings, including a Zoom Christmas party for all our young people which was very successful.

Brownies recommenced via Zoom meetings in October. Scouts was halted in March and did not recommence for the rest of 2020. Girl Guides also recommenced via Zoom meetings in October.

All of the above ensured that we reached out into our local community, which is an essential part of our role as a church within the local community, and working for the local community.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE PCC OF CHRIST’S CHURCH, HARWOOD FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] DECEMBER 2019

This report on the financial statements of the PCC for the year ended 31[st] December 2020, which are attached, is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 (“the Regulations”) and s.145 of the Charities Act 2011 (“The Act”)

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144(2) of the Act), and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of this report

My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act and to be found in the Church guidance, 2006 edition. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

Independent examiner's statement

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:

  2. proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 130 of the Act); and

  3. accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or

  4. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
