St Mary Magdalene, South Bersted

Trustees Annual Report for 2021

OUR AIMS AND PURPOSES AS A CHARITY

The primary objective of St Mary Magdalene’s PCC is the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, the Revd Tim Crook, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

Our aim at South Bersted, as stated in our Mission Statement, is, ‘To know Jesus Christ better and make Him better known’ and to make and mature, maturing-making disciples of Jesus Christ. Mindful always of this, our objectives for 2021 were:

Developing our understanding and use of the good gifts God has given us
Evangelising our Parish and beyond
Contributing towards a better society

WHAT WE PLANNED TO DO TO ACHIEVE OUR CHARITABLE OBJECTIVES

When planning our activities for the year, our incumbent and the PCC have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on ‘charities for the advancement of religion’. The PCC has complied with the duty to have due regard under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016, fully recognising its duty to have full regard to House of Bishop’s guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. The safeguarding policy is accessible from the Church’s website.

For 2021, the following objectives and activities were planned to fulfil our aims:

to provide worship services which are relevant and accessible to all members of our parish community to teach, baptise and nurture new and existing believers

to engage in evangelism and outreach to the parish in various ways

to provide pastoral care for people whether part of South Bersted Church or not

to support Christian mission activities in this country and abroad

WHAT WE ACHIEVED AND HOW WE AFFECTED BENEFICIARIES LIVES

ATTENDANCE AT WORSHIP

The church family welcomes visitors from within as well as outside the parish boundary, especially on our Livestream. It is our great pleasure to welcome anyone from all walks of life to take part in the life of the church. We believe that voluntary attendance to worship the Lord Jesus Christ is a major demonstration of the public benefit of our activities.

The Electoral Roll at the end of 2021 stood at 99, of whom 39 were resident in the parish and 60 were non-resident.

Due to the Covid 19 pandemic indoor church services were suspended for the first half of 2021 whilst the 10.30am ‘Church-in-the Carpark’ met outdoors from Easter Sunday until coming indoors in the early autumn. The church endeavoured to continue providing worship opportunities through on-line live-streamed services on YouTube.

During the summer months from April through to September/October services were held in the car park each week where the Covid-air is clearer and a sail canopy was installed over a purpose-built pagoda when the weather was inclement. Average service numbers, affected by members not ready to return, were 20 at 8.30am and 38 at 10.30am.

Participants were asked to pre-book if they wished to attend to comply with NHS Track and Trace requirements. Services at 10.30am moved into the church building when the weather became colder and followed our Risk Assessment complying with Government guidelines on social distancing and the wearing of face coverings etc. when mandatory.

At the start of the year, weekly YouTube Sunday Traditional and Contemporary services were put together and were often followed by virtual coffee sessions when participants could chat together over ‘Zoom’ which provided an invaluable way of keeping in touch with each other.

Small Groups continued to meet throughout the year, when possible in physical meetings or else on ‘Zoom’, or ‘hybrid’ with a mixture of the two, and again, although not as effective as actual meetings, this online opportunity provided a good way of keeping in touch, as did ‘Zoom Coffee’ times, following the online service/s on Sunday mornings.

We look to encourage the deepening of the faith of all ages, and work hard at ‘contributing to the spiritual and moral education of children’. During this year resources for children have been available on our Church website and childfriendly songs, videos etc. have been included in the online services.

Over the Christmas period a variety of services were held, both inside the church and outside in the car park, including:

An ‘Operation Christmas Child’ shoebox collection partnering with Samaritan’s Purse
Carols by Starlight in the Car park with fire-pits
Comedy and Carols with comedian Paul Kerensa
Carols by Candlelight
Crib Services
Christmas Communion

TEACHING, BAPTISING AND NURTURING NEW AND EXISTING BELIEVERS

Three weddings, one baptism and four Thanksgivings were held in the church during 2021.

Throughout the year the Gospel has been preached faithfully in Sunday sermons, which are also available on the website for those who miss them for any reason. A particular blessing was a series entitled ”94” which taught through the entire gospel of Mark in bite-sized chunks based around a daily vlog of Bible readings, supplemented by commentary, application and prayer. These were recorded by the vicar, sometimes in a location of historical interest in the parish or surroundings and uploaded onto YouTube for each of the 94 days between New Year and Easter Sunday.

All preaching series are followed up in Small Groups, which enable members to dig deeper into the Bible together, to learn more about God’s plan for us, and to encourage one another in our daily walk. The highlight of the year, was a series together in Dane Ortlund’s book ‘Gentle & Lowly’, other series looked at Ephesians, Nehemiah and Heaven.

As a church, we are involved in helping the children of our local Church of England primary school to explore all aspects of faith, and once again our vicar has either gone into the school on a regular basis or provided online assemblies to the school as they requested.

Sadly, this year our annual church weekend at Duncton Village Hall in July had to be cancelled for the second year due to the pandemic. This was much missed by those who have previously enjoyed meeting together to get to know each other on a deeper level, socialise, share meals and dig deeper into the Bible together. It is hoped that this weekend will be able to take place again in coming years.

TO ENGAGE IN EVANGELISM AND OUTREACH TO THE PARISH IN VARIOUS WAYS

As well as regular special services during the year, to which we invite all residents of the parish and beyond, we endeavour to put on various social events to which we can invite friends, family and neighbours. A very successful BBQ with Bouncy Castle in our car-park was well attended on the August Bank Holiday Monday.

Our church continues to be appreciated by our parishioners and others as a space where life events are celebrated with joy and thanksgiving. Funerals are a special time for ‘providing comfort to the bereaved’, and we do all they can to ensure that the service provides that comfort and help.

The church building has in the past been open most Saturday mornings when a community Fairtrade coffee morning is held. The coffee morning has provided somewhere for local people to come and enjoy a coffee, homemade cake, and there are always church members or the vicar there to talk to if someone has a particular need. However, this outreach opportunity had to be suspended for much of the year due to the global pandemic but was able to restart in the autumn.

We hosted the first ever ‘Water into Wine’ comedy show with BBC sitcom writer and stand-up theologian James Cary.

Our Church Hall is available for use by community groups and organisations. The church seeks to ensure that the hall serves the local community, and aims to maintain good relationships with hall users. The caretaker and others work hard to ensure that the hall is clean, safe and fit for purpose.

TO PROVIDE PASTORAL CARE FOR PEOPLE WHETHER PART OF SOUTH BERSTED CHURCH OR NOT

Our church has provided pastoral care to many members who have been ill or housebound during the year. This has involved hospital visiting, taking round meals, sending cards, taking people to hospital, telephoning, praying and many other things, often quietly in the background with no-one knowing. All these activities have taken place within the Covid-19 guidelines current at the time.

We have partnered with the Bognor Regis Food Bank for many years, where our vicar is chair of Trustees.

TO SUPPORT CHRISTIAN CHARITIES AT HOME AND ABROAD

In 2021 we restated our commitment that the first 5% of income should go to Christian Mission giving.

We also support the Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Appeal, which is a major event in the life of the church.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

RESERVES POLICY

The trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity’s needs. This is based on the charity’s size and level of financial commitments held. The trustees aim to ensure that the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The trustees have not impinged in any way on restricted funds or CCLA investments and will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.

The trustees undertake an annual Risk Assessment and actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated, combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.

The PCC has written policies on the following procedures:

Legacies; 2. Investments; 3. Conflict of Interest;
Complaints Handling; 5. Risk Management; 6. Committed to Volunteering;
Safeguarding

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS

Report to the trustees/members of the South Bersted Parochial Church Council on the annual accounts for the year ended 31st December 2021 set out on pages 3 to 8.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act), and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts (under section 145 of the Act),
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and
· to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner's statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the organisation 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

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

which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the trustees requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section s.130 of the Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records have not been met; or
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

6. PARISH SHARE

For the 2020 year, Arundel & Bognor Deanery amended their requisition method to be a pledge based system. Each Parish is requested to submit their own pledge based on their bespoke affordability. In 2021, South Bersted PCC pledged a figure of £31,206 which was equal to 42% of the Parish Ministry Costs for the year and during the year were able to pay the full amount of that pledge, leaving no liability to be carried into 2022.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS

Report to the trustees/members of the South Bersted Parochial Church Council on the annual accounts for the year ended 31st December 2021 set out on pages 3 to 8.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act), and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts (under section 145 of the Act),
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and
· to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner's statement

Independent examiner's statement

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

which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the trustees requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section s.130 of the Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records have not been met; or
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
