undertake initial training into the workings of the PCC provided by the diocese. Since our entitlement is for 9 elerted members. We have 2 vacancies for elected members The full PCC met 12 times throughout the year with an average level of attendance of 66%. AikK Pblrposes St Barnabas, Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent. the Reverend Edmund Cargill Thompson. 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 the Church complex of St Barnabas, Raglan Way. Northolt, which includes a residential property in Vernon Rise. Greenford. Obj eGtbves o GtirfLties 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 Barnabas. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. Pastoral care is provided to both our existing congregation and those in need in the local community. We reach in mission and evangelism to serrfe and to share the Christian faith with those around us. We maintain the fabric of the Church of St Barnabas and the Church complex. including the Vernon Rise property to provide the accommodation and resources for our mission and outreach. AchievewkLtS perforkKQpwe Worship and prayer Our Sunday services were led by both the Reverend Edmund Cargill Thompson ("Father 'Mund") and the Reverend Patty Linders ("Mother Patt¢'). During 2021 these were held via Zoom and in the church when it was open. Zoom services continued until after the year end to accommodate those who were wary of physical contact. An average of 30 adults have attended physical masses plus 15 on the Zoom services {though there was significant variation depending on the peaks and troughs of the pandemic) In December 208 people attended Advent or Christmas services and in addition 135 people attended sch(lS events in church. knnual Hnance Repart2021
63 people attended Midnight Mass and Christmas Day services, 36 of whom were communicants. During 2021, there were 2 Baptisms and 4 funerals tsken. 2 of which were held in church. No weddings occurred this year though our vicar covered one wedding for a neighbouring church. Church membership The year ended with 72 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll. We were sorry to learn that Ann Faulkner had to move into a care home. She will be remembered for the attive role she and her husband played at St Barnabas. We also said goodbye to Pat Gomm, our Hall Letting Secretary who downsized to Eastcote. Not everyone has yet returned to physical services post pandemic. Some people who were able to attend are now housebound, some are still anxious about Covid and have not yet returned. Pastoral care Some members of our parish are unable to attend church due to sickness or age. During 2021, some limited clergy visiting has begun to be possible again and also communion by phone has been given. Others have called by and had doorstep conversations with those and Barney Fellowship Group members. Safeguardlng Nicola Inson is our Safeguarding Officer and ensures our Safeguarding Policy Statement is updated and displayed. Jane Cox is our Children's Champion. Mother Patty Linders is our elders champion. The PCC complies with the duty under Section 5 or the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016. in relation to having due regard to House of Bishops, guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. The Church Centre Complex Regrettably the church has not been open for prayer but our Garden of Rest is still accessible by arrangement. Some of the groups using our Church Hall have not returned but new ones have started up. so we have more daytime groups and spare slots in the evening. Weekend lets have picked up with children's parties being popular. The Barney Fellowship Group aimed at the over 555. could not meet but each member received a visit and gift at Easter and Christmas, very much appreciated by all. Annual Firtae Rewt2021
The Community Payback Team. undertake a lot of tasks both in and outside the hall, around the outside of the church and in the Garden of Rest. Their work reduces maintenance expenditure on our buildings. Our Building fund holds £5000 for security work. Mission and evangelism Sadly. the usual evangelistic artivities held during the year have not been possible because of the pandemic. At times when the church was closed our vicar increased his personal visibility in the local community by seen in cassock more often leading to an increase in pastoral conversations. Zoom services and the Christmas events were advertised on our website and through social media. A number of our sennons were posted on YouTube and have been viewed by people beyond the parish. A lull in the pandemic in December meant we were able to resume a number of Christmas outreach events including resuming the carol service at the Blackhorse pub and for the first time holding a carol service at the Greenwood pub. School visits to the Church (which had had to be conducted by Zoom in 2020) were resumed in in 2021. Helping those in need is a demonstration of our faith. The Lent collection for ALMA, commenced in 2020, continued to Harvest 2021. We supported Ealing Winter Night Shelter at our Christmas services. Ealing Foodbank {Northolt centre) meet weekly in the church hall. and we collected food at our Harvest service. Ecumenical relationships The church is a member of the Soul in Northolt and Greenford group (SING). The main joint activity would be the Good Friday Walk of Witness to Northala Fields, suspended in 2021 because of the Pandemic with plans to resume in 2022. Deanery Synod The Deanery Synod provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church. During the year, we had two elected members. one of whom is the Deanery Synod Secretary. Most Deanery Synod meetings have been held on Zoom. ¥LkLaptce prosess The accounts are prepared using the Receipts and Payments basis. Bankers..

VoLLLtr*eers We would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our church a welcoming community. Being a volunteer is part of what it means to be.the Body of Chrisv {1 Corinthians 121. With the exception of the vicar, every job at St Barnabas is carried out by volunteers. However. this last year, the burden has been great; lacking Churchwardens and a PCC Secretary has put considerable stress onto so few. Paid Employees St Barnabas is not currently employing any staff.
