Annual Report 2021-22
Prepared for the JCC Annual General Meeting 10[th] July 2022
Overview
The last 12 months have been challenging and volatile for most organisations in the world, due to the uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The ramifications of this are still playing out in society as a whole, and also in what people are prepared to invest their time and energy to. This time last year, JCC had agreed to follow a new trajectory for the post-Covid era, making the most of global connectivity and seeking to be guided by a new vision, which embraced community, a way of life and a resource base accessible to all. As an organisation, JCC started to explore this in the early months following the previous AGM, but when the pastor stepped down due to personal reasons in late September and then other team members withdrew wholly or partly, the Trustees had little alternative but to severely scale back operations to manageable levels according to available capacity. Several weeks of Sunday Gatherings and a Soak evening did take place earlier in August/September 2021.
Jo Smith resigned from her position as Trustee midway through the year, and our Trustee/Treasurer Laura Sheasby will be resigning with effect from the AGM on 10[th] July 2022.
The Trustees agreed a one-off donation to the Ukraine DEC-UK appeal in March 2022.
JCC continues to occasionally meet/network with other community faith groups in Birmingham area, especially the Methodist Church District.
The following 3 areas have continued to function beyond October 2021, despite the limiting factors:
JazzWorx
A paid post is being prepared, to be advertised imminently. This will support the emergence of JCC resources, such as recorded and sheet music contained in an online shop. The Spirit in Jazz Podcast series has also been launched through Spotify, as a follow up to the Jazz Listening programme, with listeners from all over the world.
JazzPilgrims
A pilot year of Jazz Pilgrims, a group of 7 JCC members who meet monthly to explore a rule/way of life and JCC values. Plans for a retreat or other expansion of activities have been put on hold for now.
JazzChurch
The Wednesday night small group continues to meet weekly during term time on Zoom with the occasional in-person gathering. There are nine members of the group, two of which have not attended in recent times but stay in touch, the rest all attend regularly. The group continues to work through the book of Revelation taking a chapter each week and using the Bible Project video as a guide. It is a strong and supportive group with deep sharing and a time of prayer alongside the conversation.
Wedding Blessing Event
Through musical and creative resources, as well as technical and logistical support, JCC helped to facilitate the Wedding Blessing ceremony of Alex and Katie at Cambridge Road Methodist Church in May 2022, alongside the Town Hall Gospel Choir, with many contributions from members of JCC.
Future Plans
JCC continues to be led by our charitable aims and the vision as set at the 2021 AGM. The Trustees are open to support initiatives and ideas that align with our charitable aims and values, and all suggestions are put through the filters of this alignment, available capacity and practicalities.
JCC continues to store equipment and resources at our Birmingham base (in Kings Heath), and still have the option to gather in-person on Sunday afternoons at any point, as well as utilise the building if not being used for another event. We continue towards the cost of running the facility.
JCC will continue to support the pilot work of JazzPilgrims and JazzWorx as outlined above, alongside supporting the midweek small group as needed.
The Trustees have agreed to support the European Songwriting Conference , to be held in France/online in July 2022, and will also facilitate the UK part of a live linked concert across Europe in October 2022.
Trustees Needed
The AGM is an opportunity for new Trustees to be nominated and appointed by its membership. JCC needs a new Treasurer, and the position of Secretary is still vacant.
