Review of the Work of the P.C.C.

The PCC has been meeting in a blended format this year and is utilising zoom for the majority of its meetings. This is to accommodate younger members of the PCC who have families primarily - we are fortunate to have a PCC where younger members of the congregation are well represented. We have worked on planning to implement new guidance and direction from the Diocese on safer recruitment of staff and volunteers and safeguarding. There are dedicated members of the PCC with significant experience in these fields working on these for us. In addition, we have developed and are implementing a more rigorous policy of social media, media consent and are now keeping records of all our young people to ensure we always have knowledge of next of kin, responsible guardians and significant events to celebrate such as birthdays.

The PCC has received reports from our clergy and community worker and considered how we progress God's Mission in our community. The PCC is aware that it has a leadership role in discipleship formation and has involved itself in every aspect of our work and all areas of our work, both within and without, the Church are represented.

Gareth Gladman PCC Secretary

Curate’s Report

‘...[S]eek and you shall find, knock and the door will be opened ’ (Matthew 7.7) after joining the parish of St Helen’s following my ordination to the diaconate in July 2021 these words spoken by Jesus sum up my first few months in the parish. In a literal sense I was seeking addresses and knocking on doors as I wandered around the parish with google maps in my hand seeking a door to knock on. This helped me greatly to get a feel of the parish and meet many people. I would often go out with the intention of visiting a few people and have many more unplanned encounters. What struck me was the kindness and respect of all those I met on the street as they all greeted me with a ‘Good morning Father’. This I would say is a testament of the presence in the Parish that St Helen’s has and the work it does in the parish.

It has been my privilege to join in with this work at Jolly Tots which I have seen grow. The parents I met speak very highly of Fr McTeer and of the presence of St Helen’s in the community. This presence inspired me to involve the community in the Scarecrow Angel Trail and with the support of a few parishioners we reached out into the community groups and they all delivered a fantastic Angel which was displayed over Christmas around the Village Green. This happened just at the right time for Auckland Youth and Community Centre who were looking for a project to engage the youth they were working with 2 and so they reached out to us. As well as creating an Angel they were also inspired to visit Jolly Tots and

talk with Gareth about who they could help out. The Scarecrow Angels also spilled out into the community and reached into our local streets as members of the Parish were invited to create their own Angel. Although the Angels were few in numbers the positive feedback generated through social media would suggest to me that this is something to pursue and build on this Christmas.

Another area that was a joy to be involved in and engaged the community, increasing the number of followers on the Church social media feed was the Posada that ran throughout Advent. As Mary, Joseph and the ‘wee donkey’ (thank you to the knitters that made these figures) people who hadn’t previously commented on a church post in the community not only commented but began to follow our feed.

In my decaoning service one of the statements that stands out is … and this inspires me at St Helen’s. As I continue to wander the streets, being present (incarnate) my ministry is one of inclusion as I meet people where they are. My curiosity has also led me to walk through doors and meet groups which I wouldn’t ordinarily have met. I have continued the close bond with Growing Together Durham and The Well and reforged links with Oakley Cross school. This school has recently reached out to the Church to help create a weekly Christian church focussed assembly and wants the church to help the children to pray. After Easter we will begin this chaplaincy role within the school, a role that has also been extended to Copeland Road school. St Helen’s now has a strong presence in all three of the parish primary schools.

In serving my role continues with all that I have previously mentioned and starts with deaconing at the mass and helping to lead the Parish in worship. During this year, with the blessing of Fr Mcteer, I have also been given the privilege of leading worship at Walsingham and deconing for several other local parishes and national events. Although I still occasionally forget things, my confidence has increased greatly in this important role. A role that has also seen preaching regularly.

I started this summary report by quoting from the end of the Sermon on the Mount but at the centre of this sermon Jesus teaches the people to pray. The centrality of prayer is what also sustains me in my ministry. This importance on prayer inspired me to create a lent course focussing on prayer and those who attended, I pray, were able to take something from it. Stemming from this course I am currently looking into the possibility of a day at St Anthony’s Priory for the parish to continue the exploration of contemplative prayer.

Outside of the parish I have been able to continue my ministry with the Multi Faith Chaplaincy Team at HMP Holme House. This role takes me around the wings to meet the inmates in their cells and at work supporting them in whatever ways I can as well as praying with them and for them. I am also now fully registered with the Air Cadets were I continue the service of St Helen’s as Padre to them. In this role I have found myself leading prayers, sessions on military ethics and using drama to explore Holy Week and Easter. This prayer in the community is also a role I have found myself engaging in the Car Park at Tindale Crescent Shops where I am listed in the staff break rooms as the Chaplain. Prayer is a vital role for personal growth and can grow the community as Ephesians 6.18 says ‘pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people’ and this is what I try to do in my ministry to pray constantly a role that I am supported in by Fr McTeer, the Parish and the new prayer circle who pray for the parish and its intentions daily.

But my ministry, and my journey, would not be possible without the love, prayers and support of my family and I thank Aaron and Elisha for their support and especially for the love, prayerful support and confidence that Emma gives me.

Deanery Synod Report

Over the past 12 months, the majority of Deanery Synod meetings have been held via zoom due to Covid restrictions. We were able to meet again in person for first time in November 2021 at St.Pauls church Spenmymoor. During the last year Barrie Kirton stood down as Lay Chair after many years service to the Deanery and Sarah Phelps was appointed to the role.

Each Deanery Synod meeting welcomes a guest speaker and these have ranged from church planting, the Children's society, caring for the environment and mental health first aid. 3

A permanent reoccurring item on the agenda now is sharing good news from parishes within the Deanery. Three are shared each month and a short report sent prior to the meeting. It is a nice opportunity to hear about the mission in other parishes and to share ideas.

Treasurer’s Report

A difficult year but one which closed a lot better than we had originally expected. The normal running of the Parish saw an increase in funds of just over £5.5K this was mainly due to the fantastic response to the Christmas Fayre. Planned giving was down and there are several reasons for this but I must appeal to you all firstly to consider changing to standing order so as to ensure regular giving to the Church and if applicable to Gift Aid your Giving. Forms for both are obtainable from myself. We received grants during the year to cover the cost of our Youth Work and a small Grant from NE Churches to help offset the costs of re-opening after the ‘Covid Lock Down’. We did manage to pay the Diocesan Quota of £28k in full which was a tremendous achievement. We also paid the instalment of the Wm Leech loan ( £5K) and this leaves a balance of £10k payable by August 2023. This year we have installed a tap to give machine which has proven to be most successful and covered the cost of its purchase within 2 months.

We managed throughout the year using only current funds and we are therefore starting to re-build reserves which we used for the Ark extension. A copy of the consolidated PCC Accounts is attached to this report.

Families And Community Worker Report

The busiest area of our work with families and community continues to be our work at the Parish Centre each week. Jolly Tots on a Tuesday, while numbers can fluctuate, continues to grow. We now offer a children's library and access to a bank of children's clothing for free or a small donation. The two course lunch is popular, at the moment Kay and I are preparing this as our volunteer chef and kitchen assistant have left due to ill health. As of writing this, in March, I am in discussion with the AAP about potentially employing a part time cook. We are also hosting two work experience students at the moment and will be taking a third soon when Bishop Auckland College begin using us as a placement for childcare students after Easter.

We have opened a second, smaller and quieter, family group on a Thursday afternoon called 'Busy Bees' at which we have a music and movement session led by the staff from a local kindergarden. This session offer refreshments but has a focus of being a quieter, smaller session than Jolly Tots on a Tuesday which can be busy and noisy.

There is interest in a 'Stay and Play' session being set up at church where there would be Church focused activities and time for prayer and music. This is being considered as it will need to be carefully staffed to be able to develop.

The Church and Ark are open on a Wednesday lunchtime for light lunches. This has taken a considerable amount of time to get off the ground. However, working in partnership with the NHS this will soon be a hub for 'Wellbeing 4 Life' who will be running their first session on 20th April. This will mean the Ark is open for lunch between 12 - 2pm and will overlap with crafts and other wellbeing activities provided by, and led by, the staff of Wellbeing 4 Life between 1 and 3pm. They will publicise and resource these and are already well known in the area. In addition, the GP Surgeries will be signposting people to these activities through the local social prescribers as a means of combating social isolation.

The Church and Ark are also open from 8.30 -12noon on a Thursday. Breakfast and cake and 4 coffee are available. This Open Church time is now working in partnership with St. Helen's Care

Home and Growing Durham to provide a safe environment for their clients to have something to eat and conversation. In addition, we have a number of local families who drop in and out as well as members of our congregation.

The next step for me is to work to ensure the viability of this work through seeking funding going forward. Hopefully this will prove fruitful.

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 and training is due once again in 2022. 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 Quinquennial inspection was undertaken on 8[th] March 2021 and was

received on 18[th] November 2021. The report highlights some issue with re-pointing stonework, the chancel roof, and chancel coping stones. A Meeting of the Standing Committee is scheduled with the architects for 16[th] March 2022 and will report to the full PCC. We will report further on the Quinquennial Inspection in the 2022 Annual Report

Pastoral review

The Covid pandemic continued to have a heavy toll our work during 2021 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.

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 who wished to attend and visitors from parishes where their building was closed.

During the lockdowns and over the year we:

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

  2. 2 Every member of the Electoral Roll was contacted by ‘phone

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

  4. 4 Newsletters and updates via email

  5. 5 Live stream Masses during the second lockdown

  6. 6 Morning and Evening Prayer celebrated daily within the parish

  7. 7 The PCC met by Zoom

To those who continued with their giving over the year, especially those who give by bankers order we owe a great deal to them. This has kept the parish solvent.

Thanks to the cleaners who kept the building clean during the third lockdown when we opened 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

The main pastoral work in a normal year at of S. Helen’s includes:

Provision for young people

The Ark

7

We were able to employ a Youth and Community Worker during 2021 for 20 hours per week and this has produced a good number of community and children’s projects and we support our community through difficult times.

Parish statistics for 2021

2019 (pre Covid) figures in red

The Worshipping community including Messy Church is 135 consisting of Children 27 Young people (11-17) 8 Adults (18-69) 43 Adults (over 70) 57

The Parish Centre

A Health and Safety Policy has been agreed and a Fire Policy is in place. A Policy for the Safeguarding of Children, Young People and Vulnerable Adults is in place.

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 Busy Bees Scout, beaver and cub groups Guide group Slimming World Little Chef, Big Chef Community Pantry and community cookery training

The Vicarage

The Quinquennial Inspection took place in October 2021 by the diocesan surveyor, 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. 8

The vast increase in heating bills forecast for April/October 2022 will make it impossible to heat the whole Vicarage.

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

Works to the Vicarage

Full electrical check in December 2020 with remedial work and new fuse box installed Trees pruned in the garden Secondary glazing to the bedrooms was installed in February 2021 A new garage door was fitted

Conclusion

We face a major task in rebuilding the parish and church attendance post pandemic. Some people are still unsure about returning to public worship. Some patterns of attendance have changed from Sunday to weekdays. Many people are simply out of the habit of coming to church at all, some are less regular and some have found other things to do on Sundays. The PCC are 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.

It was a great joy to welcome the Mr. Edward Gunn to serve his curacy with us from July 2021. He is self supporting (Fr Edward receives no stipend and works part time- 25-30 hour a week, which is far beyond the expectation of self supporting ministers). Fr Edward has settled into the parish well along with his family and has had an excellent first year with us and made quite a commitment to our parish life. We look forward to his ordination to the Sacred Priesthood in July 2022

It was also good to welcome Mr Gareth Gladman as our Youth and Community Worker (20 hours per week) He has made great progress in restating our youth and community work, working with partners in the parish. His report is included in this Annual Report

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 was 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 45; a good sign for future growth and I have every confidence with God’s help we can grow 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, 9 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 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
