The Parish Church of St. John the Baptist, Wellington In the Wellington & District Team Ministry

Annual Report for 2020

Team Rector: The Rev’d Tim Treanor Churchwarden: Mrs Christine Winhall PCC Treasurer: Mrs Jenny Bache PCC Secretary: vacancy

Diocesan Vision: Living the Story, Telling the Story

The Parochial Church Council and Church Officers

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at St John’s. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.

When planning our activities for the year, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:-

Worship and prayer, learning about the Gospel and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus
Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish
Missionary and outreach work via the Learning Community, which has been set up across the Wellington and District Team Ministry and for which St John’s is a resource church.
Working with St John’s Primary School, which is a church school.

To facilitate our work it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Church.

Three members of the PCC sit on the Deanery Synod. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church.

The Minutes of the Annual Meeting of Parishioners for the Election of Churchwardens and the Minutes of the Annual Parochial Church Meeting of the Parish Church of St John the Baptist, Wellington held on Sunday, October 25[th] 2020 at 2:30 online

Annual Meeting of Parishioners for the Election of Churchwardens

(This meeting was open to all residents in the parish and those on the Electoral Roll) As this meeting was held online using Webex, the voting was done by “ no dissent”

1) The Minutes of the Annual Meeting of Parishioners of 2019 had been circulated electronically. There were no objections or people wishing to abstain, so the minutes were accepted a true record.

2) Election of Churchwardens . The Rector had received only one valid nomination for the posts of two Churchwarden, namely from Mrs Christine Winhall. So he was happy to declare Christine duly appointed.

’
3) Rector s Remarks. The Rector said how a lot of the work of churchwardens is invisible, and he gave his thanks to Grahame Woodward for the work that he has done behind the scenes. More visible was Grahame’s concern for the fabric of the church, the churchyard and security. During Grahame’s time as churchwarden there has been a lot of contact with the constabulary, including anti-social behaviour, vandalism, and theft. The Rector thanked him for his support with this.

He then said how important it was to seek two churchwardens when we next meet. David Dufour asked if there was an opportunity to appoint a second churchwarden before that time if one became available? The Rector’s reply was that if someone did come forward we would consult with the Archdeacon on the process, but he expects the APCM will not be delayed next time.

This concluded the Annual Meeting of Parishioners

The Annual Parochial Church Meeting (Only those present that are on the Electoral Roll are allowed to vote) There were 16 people present online via Webex

1) Apologies

Apologies were received from John Young, John Elder, Giles and Barbara Godber, John and Angie Massey, David and Maralyn Norman, Shirley Rayson, Adrian and Jane Excel and Iris Ellis.

2) Minutes of the 2019 APCM

The Minutes of the APCM of 2019 that had been circulated and were taken as read. They were approved by “no dissent” as a true record of the meeting

3) Matters arising from the Minutes

There were no matters arising from the minutes.

4) Presentation of the Electoral Roll

Julie Morton, ER Officer, had updated the Electoral Roll up to January 2020. Four members had died, - Margaret Davis, Joan Darch, Ray Allen and Jennifer Wevill and one new member had been added – Jean Kinch. The new total on the Roll was now 152. Julie was thanked for her work.

5) Presentation of the Annual Report

The Annual Report contains the Annual Accounts and reports on activities during 2019 including safeguarding, the fabric and inventory.

Jenny Bache was invited to add anything she wished to highlight. She said how the accounts had been quite convoluted, so a new bank account for Mission had been opened in 2019 which made these payments easier and saved a lot of transfers. The parish share had been paid in full for 2019. She had looked at ways of reducing expenditure, because overall we were spending more than we were getting in. We had a refund on VAT for building invoices, thanks to Grahame, of £1203 (in 2020 this was nearly £8000). We had applied for various grants, and Jenny gave her grateful thanks to everyone for their support and for their planned giving. At the end of the year we were just about in the black with a balance of £107

Jenny was thanked by The Rector who commented that keeping up the accounts is a non-trivial task with such a lot of transactions, as this church acts as a resource church for the benefice. Selina re-iterated her thanks to Jenny and Christine. She said how this PCC is really generous in its missional attitude and as well as thanks to Jenny, thanks to all of you.

The Annual Report has to be accepted in full and this was proposed by Grahame Woodward and Seconded by Pamela Adams, then passed by “no dissent”

6) Elections

a. Election of Electoral Roll Ofcer. The Rector asked if Julie Morton would be willing to continue as ER Officer, and she was prepared to do so.
b. Election of Deanery Synod Representatives. St John’s is allowed three members on Synod who will serve for three years. The Rector had received

two nominations, Ken Winhall and William Brown. As there were no other nominations to fill the vacancy the Rector declared them appointed. Deanery Synod members are Ex Officio members of PCCs.

c. Election to the Parochial Church Council (PCC). This year Julie Morton steps down from the PCC. The Rector thanked Julie for her kindness and generosity. There are quite a few places (7) but The Rector has received only one nomination – Crystal Carson, so she was duly appointed. The Rector said Welcome aboard.

7) Appointment of Independent Examiner

David Law had kindly examined the Annual Accounts in the past. David was thanked for this. Jenny Bache explained that she had been unable to confirm that David Law would be prepared to continue to be our Examiner, but she was sure that he would be happy to continue, as he also does some of the other churches. ACTION Jenny Bache to approach David Law and let us know if there is a problem.

8) Any other business

The Rector had received two questions from David Dufour:-

I ask that the PCC consider asap the appointment of two Deputy Churchwardens in order to reduce the work load on the two newly elected/re-elected Churchwardens.

I ask that the position of a single formal PCC Secretary be filled and the Diocese informed.

The Rector thanked him for his questions which will be taken to the PCC

Pamela Adams asked if there could be a weekly slot in the podcasts when anyone who is ill in our church can be mentioned, so that we can pray for them. The Rector explained some of the difficulties associated with this, but reassured the meeting that in Morning prayer they do pray for people by name.

Judith Dufour asked people to please let her know if there are any issues. She has phoned around a few prayer friends, (and could include Pamela if she wished) when the need for prayer has arisen, and she would like to re-instate the prayer chain.

Julie Morton said we can be in danger of losing contact with each other, and we missed the pew sheet and gossip.

The Rector replied that we have been inching ourselves forwards, one of the benefits of the lockdown has been giving out a benefice wide newsletter, but also we have done one or two St John’s inserts and this is something we could do more of.

William Brown commented on how the whole Benefice is the church community.

9) Chairman’s Remarks

The Rector thanked people for attending this meeting, and thanked them for their prayers and support. He said that since March we have been learning a lot of new things, how to do church in a new way. Some things are better, some things are new and some less satisfying than they were. A lot of stuff is missed and we mourn for that, but sometimes it is important to lament. However we have not

been overwhelmed or paralysed. There has been a huge amount of learning in terms of IT, but there are people who are less connected now than they were before.

The Rector said he was hugely appreciative to Judith Dufour who has gone the extra mile and a bit more. We have been trying to achieve a balance between these digital advances and reaching people who can not embrace technology in the same way.

Massive thanks to Sharon Chorley, who has been working from home, and a vast word of thanks to Ken and Christine Winhall, for their knowledge of IT

All the investment we have made in the last few years in calling out, raising up and encouraging lay ministry and chaplains, has paid dividends during lockdown. Some people have just blossomed - Fiona is about to lead a quiet day online. It is wonderful to see people being released into a ministry they would never have imagined a year ago.

The Rector referred to the Learning Community Tree, with its fruits of the spirit, enabling structures and the roots of classic Christian practices, like prayer and reading the bible. He said how what individuals and households do, is the bedrock of our Christian Walk. It really is over to us as individuals to have those practices and disciplines, so as this is Bible Sunday, the Rector finished with the collect for the day after which the meeting closed.

Reports for 2020

Annual Report on the proceedings of the parochial church council and the activities of the parish generally

The year 2020 was dominated by the coronavirus pandemic, periods of lockdown and periods of relaxation of the rules. It has meant that the year has been extremely busy for some and extremely “locked down” for others.

Communication

One of the important developments has been in communication. The congregation have been kept in touch with a weekly newsletter for the whole benefice, either by email or post. This was supplemented mid year by a specific news-sheet prepared by David Dufour particularily for St John’s folk called “The Covid Chat-box”.

- i know church database

In order to make sure everyone was kept informed considerable work was done in building the Database i-know church. This is a secure and GDPR compliant database and it underpinned our communications, allowing us to send different communications to different groups of people.

Website

The existing team website was initially developed a bit further to link in to the national web pages of A Church Near You, but it soon became apparent that the long awaited upgrade was needed, so behind the scenes a lot of work has gone on with this development, making sure that it reflects our benefice in all its variety, and emphasising the people throughout the benefice who do so much work in many ways. The new website is specifically designed to work well on mobile phones.

Finance

Quite a lot of time was spent in 2020 working on our finances. We have been successful in securing several grants; one from Historic England for the roof alarms, one from All Churches Trust to help with the effects of covid which delayed essential building work, one from Wellington Town Council for the Angels of Hope and one from Hope Beyond, another source of money to help us recover after the pandemic. Financially it has been a challenging year, but the congregation have been wonderful in maintaining their support and contributions, so bills have been paid. We have unfortunately fallen behind with our payments to the Diocese – as have most churches.

Safeguarding

We have had a focus on safeguarding during the year, and taken the opportunity to strengthen our procedures. With flow diagrams, spreadsheets, meetings and many phone calls and emails, all those people that need DBS clearance have now been approved and given instructions on the training.

All these back office activities have underpinned the work on maintaining our Christian presence during the pandemic. The full safeguarding report is below.

Worship

A blended delivery has been developed for worship, including something for

everyone, whether able to use the latest technology or not. This has included:-

A daily podcast from Tim and John
Printed booklets for morning and night prayer, which were distributed right

at the beginning in March

CDs containing audio files for those that found this medium accessible
Videos on YouTube for the major festivals
Reflections on the Stations of the Cross and Holy Week before Easter
Live-streaming of services when we were able to have some limited inperson services last Autumn
A telephone access line was set up for people to phone in and get the daily podcast
Signposting to other provision such as 10 Radio
Outdoor worship for Christmas

When we were able to meet in church, there were several actions needed to put in the necessary support. Preparation teams cleaned the church top to bottom, and the seating was re-ordered to comply with social distancing. A hand sanitiser station was purchased and equipped with bottles and spare face masks. We also had to make sure the track and trace procedures were in place, which was done by issuing tickets for the services, so that we could record attendance on our database.

Our wider church activities fall into the categories below, now familiar to our regular members.

Going on Growing

The pastoral companions, led by our pastoral chaplain Judith Dufour, have kept in touch with the lonely and isolated in our community, through phone calls and doorstep conversations where possible. Over the summer a quiz was personally delivered by Kieven Yim to some of the more elderly folk who couldn’t get out. Many of our congregation turned to their knitting skills to knit angels, in the Autumn, which were used in the Christmas project. This gave the opportunity for many people to join in.

Before Christmas Angel Bags of Hope were prepared for those in nursing homes, or home-care and these were very well received.

Growing younger

Work carried on with the schools throughout the year. Much of it was in supporting the staff, but when the children were in school they were also supported by our families and children’s chaplain Helena Power, who had a quiet room in St John’s School where staff and pupils could come and talk to her.

Creative Arts

The town was amazed to see the Angels of Hope lit up in the churchyard over the Christmas period. It featured in the local press and even on the evening Spotlight programme on the television. People came from far and wide to see them and they cheered us all up in the dark days of the winter.

Whole life Discipleship

Another strand of the Angel of Hope project was to receive nominations for Angels of Hope awards. These were not just for our own wonderful people but across the town celebrating all those who had gone the extra mile in supporting people during the pandemic.

In summary 2020 was a busy year for your church leaders, and although most of it was spent with restrictions on social contact, we have still managed to keep in touch, and offer worship at home in the many formats described, giving some new opportunities for spiritual growth.

Thank you to everyone who has helped in so many ways over this difficult year.

Christine Winhall Churchwarden

Fabric Report Christine Winhall, Churchwarden

Buildings Report

2020 was a momentous year with regard to the fabric of the church. In February the lead was stolen off the choir vestry roof and although temporary coverings were applied over the period before getting the roofing permanently replaced there was considerable water ingress. This was also partly due to the fact that the church was in lockdown for several months immediately after the theft, so unattended. The covid pandemic made the replacement more problematic as Diocesan staff were on furlough and builders unable to start until the autumn. The roofing was replaced with terne coated steel, as the lead has been stolen off this roof several times in the past, and terne coated steel is not attractive to thieves, as well as lasting a long time. As part of this work we fitted roof alarms and CCTV round the exterior of the church.

Over the summer however planned quinquennial work was carried out on the roof, rebedding and repointing merlon stones and other roofing stonework, and repairing lead bays. This work revealed some un-expected problems, such as one merlon toppling precariously over the glass passageway, which was rebuilt safely.

Some other quinquennial work was carried out namely deep cleaning the organ loft, in addition to the usual organ tuning.

In 2020 we almost completed the replacement programme of all the fluorescent tubes by LED s – we just forgot the one in the ringing chamber.

At the same time our electrician fitted some extra electrical sockets in the back of the church to make the electrical supply during concerts more accessible.

Finally the usual maintenance was carried out – fire extinguishers, lightening conductor, hedge and tree cutting.

In order to undertake the works above a couple of grants were obtained, one from Historic England and one from All Churches Trust. Also there were many generous donations from individuals and organisations, towards the replacement of the lead

roof, meaning that in the end it was fully paid for by this means and was not a drain on our resources. The stonemason’s work on the roof was paid for out of a legacy from Bridget Baker.

Log Book and Inventory

The log book has been kept up to date with entries for the works carried out. With regard to the furniture and fittings, during 2020 some furniture for the children’s corner was purchased, and this area refreshed. Apart from that the inventory remains the same, is up to date, and can be examined if required. Other Reports

Safeguarding Report 2020 Sharon Chorley

Tone Deanery report 2020 Ken Winhall

Tone Deanery comprises six benefices, 31 parishes, with 35 churches. Rev Helene Stainer is Area Dean and Charles Doble the Lay Dean.

The deanery reps from Wellington as appointed in the last APCM held on October 25[th] 2020 are Ken Winhall and William Brown. There is one vacancy.

There was one meeting of the Tone Deanery Synod in 2020 on 20[th] February. It was held in St John’s church hall. The minutes of that meeting are given below.

MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF THE TONE DEANERY SYNOD 20[th] February 2020 at St John’s Church, Wellington. prepared by Bob Setchell

1. Present

21 members were present. There were 12 apologies and 12 “no shows”. There are 9 vacancies at this time.

2. Opening Worship.

The opening service was conducted by Rev Tim Treanor. (Dwelling in The Word is in the form of Lectio Divina, where you listen to a passage from the bible and then ask others what they thought was the most telling word or phrase for them. This encourages listening, but also discovering how others hear the same passage, but may interpret it differently to you, which in turn promotes thought and understanding.)

3. Welcome

Charles Doble, the Lay Dean welcomed everyone to the meeting.

There was one item of “any other business”.

4. Good News from the Pews

Rev Helene encouraged those present to tell the meeting of items of good news from their parishes – of which there were many. We need to get into the habit of sharing the good news and not just the problems we face.

5. Let’s talk

This was a discussion of how we as churches communicate with our wider communities and the various tools we can use. It began with “What welcome does our church notice board give?” Photographs, taken by Katherine on her prayer walks, of various church notice boards from across the deanery were shown, which led to a number of questions.

Who are you trying to communicate with via this notice board? (Does it face the road, or is it in the church porch?)
Not every church has the luxury of three boards, one for visitors/passers by, one for Parishioners and a third for official notices.
Is the notice board cluttered, or up-to-date?

How many of you have updated your “A church near you” web page in the last 4 weeks? This web-site receives a surprising number of hits, for example, Thorne St Margaret received over 3,000 “hits” last year. The website itself has been recently upgraded. (Are times of services shown? Are they up-to-date?)

Rev Helene introduced a “Parish storytelling” questionnaire, a copy of which is attached to these minutes to be shared with other members of your church.

One parish had a PCC member visit each house in the parish to ask “What would you think if our church was to close?” (Which led to a significant increase in local support, if not in attendances.)

Wellington Team use a spreadsheet to help them plan events, to clarify who will do what, when and where. If you would like a copy of this, please contact the Wellington team administrator.

Bob reminded those present that the various magazines / newsletters have “lead times” you need to meet, but also there is a balance between publicizing an event too soon (people forget) or too late and people have made other arrangements.

Rev Andrew Norris is back on 10 Radio, please use him to publicize events.

6. Minutes of previous meeting

The minutes of the meeting held on 29[th] Oct 2019 at Bishops Lydeard were proposed as correct and agreed. There were no matters arising.

7. Diocesan Synod

Charles Doble updated the meeting following the previous day’s meeting in Wells of the DAC [Diocesan Advisory Committee].

Unfortunately, several churches have had lead stolen in the last few weeks. Although each case will be depend on its merits, the DAC will now consider the

use of alternative roof coverings if replacing stolen lead such as Terne coated steel.

The meeting was, incidentally, the last in the Old Deanery; the first to be held there was in 1946!

8. Finance Update

Alison sent her apologies as she is currently hosting a number of Chinese students. All parishes have paid the 2019 levy, which will remain at £3 for 2020. We have £4,687 in our current account and the CCLA deposit A/c is some £2,478, which should be sufficient to cover the Deanery expenditure going forwards.

9. Announcements

As this was the last meeting of the triennial, Bob thanked those present for all that they have done. (Deanery Reps remain in post until the end of May.) He asked that those who are standing down to please pass on to the new reps an understanding of what it is that we as a deanery are trying to achieve in being supportive of each other and finding new ways to spread the word.

As Bob is standing down from Synod, Charles thanked Bob for all that he has done as Secretary (and for a while as Treasurer). Bob will do the minutes of the July meeting – at which a new Secretary will be elected, with the hand-over following that.

We have planned a short welcoming service for all Deanery Reps, followed by Tea/coffee, at St Andrew’s Wiveliscombe, on the 4[th] June 2020 at 7PM to allow people to meet and socialize.

On Thursday the 12[th] March there is an “Inspire Evening” for those working with children and young people at St James Church, St James St, Taunton. This is a free event and all are welcome.

10. Deanery Mission and Pastoral Group

As Katherine Lyddon, our new Children and Families Rural Pioneer is now in post, the DMPG are now concentrating upon communication, both between ourselves and with the wider community – which has been the emphasis of this evening’s discussions.

Do you use all of your copies of “Manna”? Could any of these be put into local surgery waiting rooms or similar?

11. There was one item of any other business

Dilly Bradley promoted the book “God belongers” by David Walker, saying that we need to make it easier for people to engage with us.

Closing Prayer The meeting closed with the Grace.

The meeting ended at 9.20 pm.
