Objectives an d Activities

Mindful of its responsibility for the mission of the Church in Perry Beeches Parish, the PCC seeks to rp ovide a welcoming spiritual home and community resource for all in the neighbourhood. We want to discover the heart of God’s love with all who seek. This is possible through Christ, who makes of us his Body in Baptism and Eucharist, but whose love and saving rg ace ra e not limited to the confnes of the church building and institutional life. St Matthew’s bears witness to this through its on-site life, where the sacred space sits side-by-side with the hall which draws in many people from the wider . community

The PCC met on 8 occasions dur the r with an aver ing yea age attendance of 12 member r . s pe meeting M r discussion have included: ajo points of Inte rr an d the of Fathe r r T evo r egnum appointment Thu r ston-Smith: R eviewing COVI D r est r ictions an d d elive r y of chu r ch se r vices: Chu r ch Finances:

We were in an interregnum rf om November 2020 until February 2022. we d d i to rP iests to cover all of our Although manage get services during this time it was not without problems. Some priests especially the retired ones were reluctant to come out when the covid pandemic was at some of it’s worst. We interviewed for a new incumbent in September 2021 and after problems with housing he was fnally inducted in February 2022. Befo r e the Pan d emic, The, Sun d ay Eucha r ist was at the heart of our Parish life. And very much depended on the ministry of Parish rP iest and Lay Reader, the serving team, chalice assistants, readers, welcomers, and cofee makers. Unfortunately during 2021 we were not able to have one else on the Alter and it is any r that we have been able to welcome cofee makers only ecently and welcomers back and still only have servers doing limited duties.

Paul Phipps is now a valued member of our Lay Reader team along with Peter Conabeer who has been a lay reader at St. Matthew’s for many years. The council has complied with its duty under section 5 of the Dur 2021 we d to have Sund School and M ing manage ay essy Church activities.

The council has complied with its duty under section 5 of the rd and Cler D Measure 2016 to have due Safegua ing gy iscipline regard to House of Bishop’s guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable a dults. Thanks to the people of St. Matthew’s we were able to deliver Cards at Easter and Christmas to all of the parish. In 2021 because of the pandemic there were 13 Baptisms . (In 2020, 2 baptisms ). . The ofer of Baptism in a separate, Baptismonly service, has been appreciated by families. Most fune r als take place at Perry Barr rC ematorium. In 2021 1 Funeral took place in church. In 2020 the Parish rP iest conducted 17 funerals in total and 1 wedding took place. We d d i manage to have a Christmas Fayre in 2021 which was most appreciated by the people of the parish.

Our r dF i ay café has not reopened since the pandemic, but we ra e r . hoping that we can sta t something up again

We had lockdown online funding to raise funds for St Matthew’s own regular expenses and although we d d i not have a lent ofering, we d d i have online giving for our quarterly charity collections to USPG and Embrace the M ddi le East.

Pa r tne r ship with othe r Ch r istians St Matthew’s participates in the life of the Diocese and Deaner . Our Parish a fully y enjoys friendly informal partnership with the neighbouring Parish of St John, Perry Barr. There is also an established ecumenical relationship with Beeches Evangelical Church and Perry Beeches Baptist Church, with occasional joint services and pulpit exchanges. We also share our Children and Families Worker with the Benefces of Lozells & Newtown.

Financial R eview

2020 fnancial review refects the last 12 months when we have been in lockdowns and restricted movements.

We rely on St Martin’s rT ust to pay our da ministrator, our ro ganist, and our Children and Families worker. St. Matthew’s regular charities, Malawi and Embrace the M ddi le East have still been rted this r thr our online suppo yea ough giving scheme, albeit with reduced contribution. Our common fund payment in 2021 was £23,600 (some £1,778 short of our requested total of £25,378) This would have been met had we been able to have our usual Christmas Fair which usually raises r . app oximately £3,000

We must acknowledge the generosity of our congregation during the demic as of them contribute to the Church via the pan many Parish Giving scheme, standing orders and envelope contributions, as well as plate/bucket donations when services were allowed in Church.

Page 7

Hall hire was hit rather badly in 2020, as rg oups had to shut down dur the lockdowns and could meet when were ing only they allowed to do so. Hopefully 2021. We will see ra eturn to our rg oups using the hall again and this will boost our hall income once again.

Chu r ch wa rd ens R ema r ks

2021 continued to be a difcult year. The Church remained open, even during the lockdowns, on a F r di ay and a Sunday afternoon changing back to Sunday morning in July. It is thanks to the many diferent P riest that came and rp esided at our services that we were able to be open for services.

We continued to survive fnancially mainly because of people contributing to the Parish giving scheme

The Phone in services continued but, in a bid, to t ry and encourage people to come to Church in person we went down to one day a week during the latter part of 2021.

The Parish newsletter was emailed to 42 people weekly to let them know what was happening in the Church and centre.

The Church was open Tuesday – F r di ay f rom 10am-11am for people to come for rp ivate p rayer

The Sunday School reopened in July and Messy Church also re started during the year. We managed to deliver cards to every house in the Parish at Easter and Christmas. There a re still challenges to be overcome with getting people back into Church. With p rayer and the help of our new incumbent it is hoped that we can overcome this

Vicar’s Report 2021

Preparing a report for a meeting held in April or May that relates back to the previous calendar year always feels a little strange as so many of the events and activities referred to took place over a year ago. Preparing this particular report feels even more strange as I wasn’t in post during the year in question. Nevertheless, there are things of which I’m aware on which I

Page 8

would like to comment; and in any event, I believe that this report and the APCM should also be taken as an opportunity to look forward as well as backwards.

First and foremost, I would like to re-iterate my sincere thanks to everyone who helped in any way to keep things ‘ticking over’ in the parish during the interregnum, especially in view of the added challenge of Covid-19 and the resulting ‘Lockdown’. Special thanks are due to our Churchwardens, Janet and Tim who bore a particular burden. The fact that I have found it relatively easy to ‘pick up the reins’ is a tribute to their hard work and organisational skills.

Thanks are also due to St Martin’s Trust, who, as our Patrons, oversaw the recruitment process as well as continuing to support the life and work of the parish fnancially. I’m also grateful to those who played any part in the ‘Familiarisation Day’ that was held on Saturday 4[th] September for those of us who had been shortlisted for interview as your potential new Vicar. I know that all the candidates found the day extremely helpful and informative, and it certainly helped to reenforce my already strong sense that this would be an exciting place to minister amongst some wonderful people.

Having attended the interview on Thursday 9[th] September, I was delighted to hear that I was to be ofered the post, subject to all the usual administrative checks and processes. These administrative cogs often turn painfully slowly, and that was certainly true in this case. My appointment was ofcially announced early in November, but it wasn’t until Wednesday 23[rd] February 2022 that I was fnally installed and inducted. This delay was due in part to the fact that we were unable to gain possession of the Vicarage, and alternative temporary accommodation had to be sought and agreed. It was fortunate that a vacant Vicarage was eventually identifed only a mile and a half away from St Matthew’s (albeit over the diocesan border) and that the Diocese of Lichfeld kindly agreed to rent it to the Birmingham Diocese. This situation, however, is not ideal, not least because it means that your Vicar lives outside the parish and is therefore not always as visible or present as he would like, and it potentially involves the considerable stress and

Page 9

upheaval of another move. It is to be hoped that this matter can be properly and fully resolved for the beneft of all concerned over the coming months.

When I frst read the Parish Profle last August, I sensed that St Matthew’s would be a warm, vibrant and faithful Church community. Two months into the job, I’m delighted to say that that perception, however it was arrived at, is proving to be correct. We do, of course, have many challenges to face. In common with many other parishes, we need to do a certain amount of rebuilding of our congregation and our fnances, following the major disruption caused by Covid. As well as exploring how best we can develop our mission to the local community - including its families and young people - we also need to look at how we can nurture regular worshippers and newcomers alike in the faith in order to grow both spiritually and numerically. We must also explore our ecumenical relationships and potential partnerships with other agencies. We are blessed with a remarkable set of buildings, and this, coupled with the very positive energy that I see at work here, will, I am sure, stand us in good stead.

Finally, it’s good that we are to be joined in the summer by a Curate. Tom Ruston, who is currently studying at Westcott House, Cambridge, will, God willing, be ordained Deacon on 25[th] June and will then join the ministry team here. Tom will bring many gifts and skills, and I know that he will receive a very warm welcome. I look forward to working with Tom and, of course, continuing to work with all our existing team members for whose ministry and support I am very grateful.

The last year hasn’t been an easy one for any of us, and there is much work to be done. I for one, however, am confdent that God has good things in store for us, and as I continue to get to know you all, I look forward to working with you in discerning God’s plan for us and moving into the future to which he calls us.
