## SARISBURY PARISH ## ST PAUL’S, SARISBURY ANNUAL REPORT & FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 INCUMBENT IN VACANCY BANK LLOYDS TSB INDEPENDENT EXAMINER MR DAVID CREAL ELAN HOUSE 5a LITTLE PARK FARM ROAD SEGENSWORTH WEST PO15 5SJ Aim and purposes St. Paul's Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent (position currently vacant) in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of St Paul's Church building and its extension in Barnes Lane, Sarisbury Green. Objectives and Activities 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 Paul's. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and make5 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, the incumbent and the PCC have considered the Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through: Worship and prayer Teaching and 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. To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of St. Pauls Church and related buildings. As a principle the church building is open daily for private prayer. Achievements and Performance Worship and Prayer There is one principal service at 10.30am every Sunday morning with an average attendance of around 50. These services are complemented by a service of Morning Prayer on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridayi and other Services throughout the year to support festivals, especially at Christmas when Christingle Services and Crib services are held; these two services each attratt more than 200 worshippers. The￿ are also some small groups which meet regularly for Bible study and prayer; these are an important component of pastoral support within the church community. In addition, other services, Baptism, Wedding and Funeral (in church and at local crematoria) are held as need arises. Deanery Synod Two members of the PCC sit on the deanery synod. This provides the PCC with an important link bel￿een the parish and the wider structures of the church. Building Maintenance The usual maintenance tssks on a church almost 200 years old continued through the year. Special attention this year was given to the tower, and in the interior new display screens. Curtains were added to the hall to improve the acoustic properties. Pastoral Care During the week the new extension is used for: There is a monthly bring-and-share lunch for those who are retired which is normally attended by about 20 people. There is regular w&kly cafe attended by 15 to 20 people on average. This is run by a team of volunteers and provides a valuable means of pastoral support. A fortnightly meeting for sharing craft pastimes and general conversation. Once a month there is a group aimed at reaching parents and children called 'Who let the Kids In?, Coffee, Lego, Scalextric and games are available. Some members of our parish are unable to attend church due to Sickness or age. Regular visits take place, to celebrate communion with them either at their homes or in hospitsl, or just to check they are okay. Regular visits to local care homes also take place, both for social purposes and to assist with Christian worship. Mi55ion The PCC aims to SUPPOrt a number of other causes. These include the New Life School in Sarberia, West Bengal and the local foodbank. Ecumenical Relationships St Paul's is part of the Western Wards Church Network which is an inter-denominational network of all churches in the Western Wards of Fareham. Volunteers We would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our church the lively and vibrant community it is. In particular we want to mention our churchwardens Mrs Dulledge and Mr Moseley for their efforts on our behalf, Mr Dulledge who has helped us all to understand the church's accounts and its finance5, and all the other member5 of the PCC and the wider church membership for their valuable contribution to our ministry and for keeping the church running. A particular expression of gratitude goes to Mr Rutt and Reverends Snape who have led worship at the church during the period of vacancy. Structurei governan￿ and management The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rule5. At St. Pauls the membership of the PCC con515ts of the incumbent (position currently vacant), churchwardens, a retired minister with permission to officiate, the reader and member5 elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who attend our services/members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll 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. The full PCC met twelve times during the year with an average level of attendance of 80%. Administrative information St. Paul's Church is situated in Barnes Lane, Sarisbury Green. It is part of the Diocese of Portsmouth within the Church of England. The correspondence address is St Paul's Church, Barnes Lane, Sarisbury Green, Hampshire S0317BG. The PCC is a body corporate (PCC Powers Measure 1956, Church Representation Rules 2006) and a charity registered with the Charity Commission. PCC members who have served from 1st January 2023 until the date this report was approved are: Ex Officio members Churchwardens: Mrs Janet Dulledge Mr Paul Moseley Mr Chris Dulledge Reverend Lorraine Snape (Also on Deanery Synod) Treasurer: Retired Minister: (Honorary) Elected members: Mr John Meredith Mr Tony Moore Mr David Hodgson Mr Peter Sherwood Ms Julia Jones Mr Nigel Sutton Mrs Elaine Cordner Mrs Jacqui Linford Mrs Brenda Wise (from April 2023) Deanery Synod Mr Phil Rutt Safeguarding Statement At the first meeting following the APCM the PCC re-adopted the Diocesan Safeguarding Policy. It was agreed that Janet Dulledge would continue as our Safeguarding Representative. There have been no matters of concern raised during 2023. Financial Review Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £66,016. There were no Restricted Funds donations. Planned giving through envelopes, bank transfers and the Parish Giving Scheme rose by almost IOO/o, a reflettion of the increasing regular worshippers (there is a significant lag bel￿een new faces appearing and regular giving starting). As can be seen by the relatively low Collections figure we are extremely tax efficient and are able trj claim Gift Aid on most of our giving. Although we continue to keep costs very low, the small size of our congregation over the last few years makes meeting the expected Parish Share difficult. We have paid in full this year, but the future is still likely to be challenging. This was a year of spending on larger projetts, with the purchase of large screen Tvs to replace the ageing projectors, and remedial work on the tower and other parts of the building. The net result ft)r the year was a deficit of receipts over payments of £5,903 on unrestricted funds, with deficits also seen in the Designated and Restricted funds, used where money was available to cover costs (such as building maintenance). We carry reserves: the restricted funds are as in the accounts, with building funds required for repairs to the roof which allow water in during the severe weather. Reserves pollcy It is PCC policy to maintain an uninve5ted balance on unrestricted funds, (if possible), which equates to at least two months unrestricted payments, equivalent to £12,000, to cover emergency Situations that may arise from time to time. The current account balance of £12,470 meets this (there are also deposits that are available immediately). There are no fixed policies for investments. ## **Ministers Report** We are grateful that we have been ‘self sufficient’ in terms of ‘pulpit supply’. Lorraine, Gary and I have been able to provide varied, complementary and informal approaches to worship in all it’s aspects, and these, in the main, have been well received. The congregation has been tolerant and forgiving. Feedback to what we have been doing Sunday by Sunday has been positive; any suggestions for improvements and different approaches, have been offered gently and graciously. We couldn’t have done what we have without this and it’s to everyone’s credit and we are grateful. We have continued to lead with transparency and truthfulness which, I think, has been key to the progress we have made. We have witnessed people growing in their Christian lives and offering themselves to serve in all sorts of ways and we have seen numerical growth too. The informal approach to pastoral care and the concern people have for each other is brilliant. ## **Churchwarden Report** The year has been a challenging one with some remedial work having to be done to the extension which seems to have been completed effectively. The audio visual equipment was changed in April, thanks to generous donations from the congregation and an external source. There has been the fitting of extra soundproofing in the main hall which has been achieved by generous funding from the congregation and a donation from an external source. During the summer we again held our annual strawberry distribution. We changed the Christmas schedule to adapt to our resources but overall the services for the year have remained consistent. We had a visit from Bishop Jonathan who ran a Sunday service in February. Also Revd Richard Owen helped us with a communion service in October. All other services have been possible with immense gratitude to Gary, Lorraine and Phil. An attempt to help the needy of our parish we started running a “warm space” which was not attended by anyone from the parish so this stopped after four weeks. Throughout the year there has been opportunities to have our local Junior and Infant School in church. Sometimes quite challenging given the need to fit a lot of children in the building. Obviously there are regular annual works that have been performed and managed. We are very grateful for all the support the congregation has given throughout the year. We all recognise the generous nature of God and we try to copy this attribute where we can. To this end we have helped with the Junior School fund twice in 2023; continued to support The Children’s Society; supporting the work of John Swindell of Oasis; and managed to pay our full parish share out of funds. Whilst doing this we recognise that we need to be aware that we are running a shortfall of about £1000 per month. We trust God will provide, but it would be nice to have the parish financially stable ready for the new incumbent. We will be looking at raising funds for our reserves and would ask you to consider and discuss how we could do that. ## **PCC Secretary Report** We have held PCC meetings on a monthly basis during the year (11 in total since last APCM—none in May 2023 due to Bank Holidays, plus 1 special meeting concerning the Parish Profile/vacancy). PCC membership has remained unchanged throughout the year as members have been encouraged to maintain continuity during the vacancy period. ## **Electoral Roll Report** Following the review of the electoral roll our membership now stands at 76. An overall increase of seven. Welcome to all our new members.
