## **Committees** 

The P.C.C. operates through a Standing Committee, which can meet between full meetings of the P.C.C. It is the only committee required by law. It has the power to transact the business of the P.C.C. between its meetings, subject to any direction given by the Church Council.

## **Review of the Work of the P.C.C. for the year 2019-2020** 

The work of the PCC has been hampered this year by the coronavirus pandemic with most  correspondence via e-mail. The PCC is currently using zoom for it's meetings and this worked  reasonably well. A small group has been appointed to look at recovery from the pandemic and the PCC will shortly discuss a new baptism policy giving lay leadership in this important mission field. The PCC wishes to offer heartfelt thanks to Alyson Smith, Marjorie Brodie, Pat Elliott, Margaret Clark and Ann Maxfield who all retired from the council this year after many years faithful service. We welcome Debbie Schullman, Adrian Beswick, Joan Johnson and Emily Dawson our Organ Scholar as new members to the PCC.

## **Treasurer’s Report** 

I should like to start by thanking every member of our planned giving for maintaining and improving on their financial commitment to the Church in 2020. As a result we have improved on our 2019 commitment a wonderful achievement in these troubling times. Unfortunately, we still have a downturn in general alms giving and fund raising of over £11,000. We were unable to meet our Quota obligations to the diocese by £3000 but I am sure other churches will be in the same position, however if we wish to retain a fulltime priest this is something that we must address in 2021. We have met our 

2 



repayments on the William Leech Loan for the Ark and with the help of a grant from the Garfield Weston Trust we have been able to replace the roof lighting which was condemned at the beginning of 2020. We have also upgraded the heating system in Church which hopefully should see savings in 2021 on heating bills. 

Again many thanks for your continued financial commitment and stay safe until we can all meet up again and re-ignite our social events. Pat Bake 

## **Safeguarding** 

Mrs. Dianne Chew is our parish safeguarding office. All those involved in children’s work or working with vulnerable adults are DBS checked and a role of the names is maintained. Safeguarding training took place for all officers, PCC members and some members of the congregation in 2019. Our policies are displayed with contact numbers on the church and centre notice board web site and face book page 

## **The Report of the Fabric and Ornaments of the Church** 

Following the major restoration to the parish church undertaken during 2001, the organ in 2009 and the extension in 2018, the church is now sound and in an excellent state of repair. The building is well looked after and minor repairs are undertaken as and when necessary. 

The church is cleaned each week along with brass, silver and linen. The Guild of S. Martha’s team work hard every week to keep the church in first class order. 

The roof and drains are cleared twice a year. 

The under floor heating is in constant use during the winter months, enabling background heat to the building all day to help preserve the fabric of the building and create a warm environment for daily worship. 

With the Ark extension built during 2018 and before the lockdown was being used most days for a variety of events and organization both for the local community. 

The postponed outstanding Quinquennial inspection will take place on 8[th] March 2021

## **Pastoral review** 

The Covid pandemic has affected our work during 2020 in line with businesses and charities across the nation and world. It has been a challenging and difficult year for everyone. Together we have lived through some dark days. 

The church was closed for public worship from 19[th] March to 3[rd] July 2020 during the first lockdown The Archbishops would not allow even the clergy to say their offices or celebrate Mass or live stream  them from church. The Church of England would not allow Funerals were in church, however crematorium funerals and graveside were allowed with restricted numbers. It was a mistake not to allow the clergy to live stream from church or say office and Mass in them and is acknowledged by those in charge. 

We opened again on 3[rd] July with social distancing, face covering and no singing. Many people were still shielding and some did not have the confidence to return to public worship. After numbers gradually recovering the second wave hit the country and we closed from 14[th] November until 2[nd] December. This time we lived streamed from church and the offices and Mass celebrated daily within the building. Confidence was low during December and this is reflected in the small figures attending Mass over Christmas. A third lockdown was ordered on 1[st] January 2021. Churches were allowed to stay open this time with restrictions. Many closed and we were one of the few churches open for worship daily in the diocese and we ministered to a small number of our congregation and visitors from parishes where their building was closed. 

During the lockdowns and over the year we: 

4 



   1. Telephoned every member of the congregation in rotation over the year 

   - 2   Every member of the Electoral Roll was contacted by ‘phone on Easter Day 

   - 3   Service sheets for use at home, prayer cards and newsletter sent by post 

   - 4   Newsletters and updates via email 

   - 5   Live stream Masses during the second lockdown 

- 6   Morning and Evening Prayer celebrated daily within the parish, some of the time by the Parish Priest on his own or when allowed with a small number of assistants. 

   - 7  The PCC met by Zoom 

To those who continued with their giving over the year, especially those who give by bankers order thank you. This has kept the parish solvent. 

Thanks to the cleaners who kept the building clean during the lockdowns and to our organist Mrs Joan Johnson who has played organ Masses for us and kept the choir together on Zoom. To Mr Gareth Gladman for a great deal of work producing service sheets for use at home and sending out  information by email 

Thanks to the Bishop of Durham, The Bishop of Jarrow and the Archdeacon of Auckland for their pastoral calls to the clergy during the lockdown periods.

The centre was closed for most of the year due to the national lockdown and restrictions. The Community Pantry was open during the pandemic as an essential service to the community. 

## **Centre users in a normal year:** 

Jolly Tots Scout, beaver and cub units Guide group Line dancing group Slimming World Little Chef, Big Chef Community Pantry and community cookery training Tuesday Ladies Group 

## **The Vicarage** 

The Quinquennial Inspection took place in October 2015 by Mr. M Galley Back (Hons) MCIOB. Diocesan Surveyor, Auckland Castle, Bishop Auckland. It was reported, “The property is particularly well maintained and cared for and has no apparent structural defects”. 

The size of the vicarage along with no double glazing means it is a struggle for the incumbent to heat it adequately with very large heating bills to heat a selection of rooms to 15 degrees for part of the day. A wood burner helps heat the main reception room during the evening. 

The gardens continued to be well maintained with the help of a gardener who works two hours per week. 

Full electrical check in December 2020 with remedial work and new fuse box installed 

Trees pruned in the garden Secondary glazing to be installed in February 2021

## **Conclusion** 

We face a major task in rebuilding the parish and church attendance. At the time of   compiling this report people are drifting back, many of the congregation have received both vaccinations and the roll out is going well. Some are still unsure about returning to public worship. Some patterns of attendance have changed from Sunday to weekdays. We have a Covid recovery group of young adults working on various areas of church life, what needs developing, introducing, changing or discarding. It is going to be a hard task to recover, build our numbers, start our social life and organization and repair our finances. 

We also look forward to the ordination as deacon of Mr. Edward Gunn to serve his curacy with us from July 2021 and hopefully the appointment of part time youth worker. 

One of the great strengths of S. Helen’s is the large number of people taking on responsibility and doing some work or service in the parish. A lot of people doing something small achieves great results. I am extremely grateful for this sharing of responsibility, commitment and collaboration of so many to the parish and our service and mission. A new leadership team will be in place by the end of 2021 with people taking responsibility for key areas of mission, service and growth. Over half of our PCC are under 40; a good sign for future growth and I have every confidence with God’s help we can grown back stronger. 

The improvement of our choral tradition is still a major objective. We will continue to work to become a centre of excellence in worship, prayer and service to our community and the wider church. This in itself can lead to growth. 

It is interesting that young people and young adults and children seem to be attracted to traditional teaching, ceremonial, prayer, worship and music. As a parish we will continue to remain faithful to the catholic faith and practice that comes to us from the apostles and of which the Church of England is part, working and praying for the re-union of the Church of God, celebrating the Mass and offices each day, trying to order our lives to the teaching of our Lord in Holy Scripture, proclaiming the word of God, building up our faith, baptising our children, caring for the sick and the poor, providing for our young people, 

Serving those in need, burying the dead, caring for the bereaved and proclaiming Christ crucified, died and risen. 

We are committed to worshipping God, teaching and nurturing our people, serving our community in Christian love and joy, with a passion for mission and conversion using the Sacraments of the Church and Holy Scriptures, confident that THE MASS IS THE GREATEST ACT OF MISSION OF THE CHURCH and the ability of the Mass and good worship to build the discipleship of the congregation and convert people to the Christian faith and a living relationship with Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ 

The traditional parish system is by far the best way to stop the decline of the 

8 



Church of England. We are committed to simply being the Parish Church in West Auckland, St Helen Auckland and Tindale Crescent. To celebrate the Mass and daily offices which deepens our discipleship and inspires us to go out and serve our community and bring more people to experience the life changing love of God. 

## _**Our mission is to love, serve and worship Our Lord Jesus Christ**_
