Michele expressed her thanks to all those who had written the APCM reports and carried out their roles within the church over the last twelve months.

3a. Treasurer’s report

The Treasurer’s report printed in the booklet was noted. Fay Dent

gave a short summary of the year. In the first six months, the income was significantly reduced due to the Covid-19 restrictions and church closure. This resulted in our contribution to the Parish Share being reduced by £2,000 for three months from June to August. However, we were blessed with a number of very generous donations in the

6

second half of the year. This meant we were able to pay our Parish Share in full by December 2020, including the full three-month contribution for June to August. Fay noted that we finished the year on a stable financial footing.

Mary Nobbs asked for clarification on how the Parish Share is calculated. Fay Dent explained there is a complex formula based on the church membership and the Parish location; it pays of diocesan expenditure including rectors’ accommodation costs, stipends and pension contributions alongside certain other diocesan costs. Philip Waine added that the wealth calculation for our area means Chipperfield contributes relative to the average wealth of the parish/village.

Thanks were given to Fay for her dedicated work as our treasurer.

3b. Adoption of the accounts

Anne Stickland proposed and Fay Dent seconded the adoption of the accounts for the year ending 31 December 2020. The accounts were approved.

3c. Appointment of the Independent Examiner

7

4d. Appointment of Sidespersons

This list of serving sidespersons on page 22 of the booklet was noted. Michele thanked Anne Wyburd for her continuing work organising the rotas and for all those serving as sidespersons and readers. Michele noted the request for more sidespersons. Alison and James Bush offered to re-join the list (as a pair) now the Covid restrictions have eased. Mary Nobbs also offered to re-join the list. Anne Wyburd asked that sidepersons should advise both herself and Sonya when swapping with another person, so the future lists can be kept balanced. Anne King suggested a note should be in the Welcome Sheet.

5. Reflecting on the past and looking to the future

Michele reflected on the past year and thanked the many people who have contributed to the safe running of the church.

Music at St Pauls:

Michele highlighted the appointment of our new Director of Music, Ben, who brings a wealth of experience and talent. He is helping us to refresh and modernise the music. A new communion setting has been introduced and new hymn books have been purchased. Although we are restricted at present, with no congregational singing allowed, opportunities should expand as Covid restrictions ease.

Ben is also planning a programme of monthly concerts and musical events. The first event is scheduled for June.

MAP review and looking forward:

Michele reported that the PCC has met three times since January (by Zoom) to start the process of reviewing our Mission Action Plan (MAP). These meetings were facilitated by David Zerny, who bought his experience of working with businesses using a ‘business model canvas’, as a fresh way to look at our priorities and how we might move forward after the disruptions of the last sixteen months. From these meetings, the PCC have proposed a revised mission statement to reflect our desire to be outward looking as we reconnect with each other and the wider community. The statement reads:

“To be a place of connection and community that nurtures relationships and brings a sense of hope, trust and faith”

Michele noted that much of what we did prior to the pandemic fitted within this mission statement. It will provide a focus for considering the activities we wish to embrace in the coming months.

Many possible activities were considered and discussed. Eight initial priorities have been identified:

8

Michele noted there are other matters which we will be considering as the year proceeds. For example, plans for work on the church roof were suspended at the start of the pandemic. In addition, the diocese is considering how the church can support the mental health of those in our communities and we will be reflecting on how we can provide support to the local community around mental health and in other ways.

6. Concluding Business

6a. Questions and any other business

Community library: Frances Onians reported that the community library will be closing in its current format. It has been hosted in the Parish Room for five years by a group of dedicated volunteers and was popular with a small number of people. Frances is writing an article for the June Chipperfield News and will be asking if a different group of people might like to consider taking it on, perhaps with a different format. A small number of books and jigsaws will be kept, so they are accessible to visitors to the Parish Room. The remaining books are being given to children’s groups or the Mount in Bovingdon. Church roof: Frances Onians reported that she and Stephen Morrill have met with the surveyor and new quotes for the church roof repairs will be made this year.

9

Time of church services on Sunday: Anne King asked if the church services will remain at 9am and 10.30am, or return to the pre-Covid schedule of 8am and 10am, as the earlier times are better for some people. Michele confirmed that the time of services will be reviewed as the easing of restrictions progresses. The times are not ‘fixed’. Michele also advised that Choral Evensong is going to be introduced once a month from June or July for a trial period.

Singing in church: Fay Dent asked if we would be able to resume congregational singing shortly. Michele confirmed that unfortunately there is no proposed return to singing as yet. Anne King reminded us that people may like to join the choir!

On-line services: Lesley Edwards asked if there has been formal thanks to the ‘technical team’ who has orchestrated all the on-line services and other events during the last sixteen months. It was agreed a written card would be sent to Martin Dean, Paul Rodgers and others who have supported our on-line presence this year. Michele noted that we will be looking to widen the technical team going forward, so the burden is not too great on those involved.

6b. The date of next meeting has not yet been finalised. Sunday 10[th] April 2022 is a possible option but as this date falls on Palm Sunday other dates will be explored.

6c. Philip Waine led us in a Closing Prayer.

Lucy Wood, PCC secretary, 16.5.21

RECTOR’S REPORT – January 2021 to December 2021

By the time this report is presented to the 2022 APCM, much of what happened in 2021 will seem like a distant memory, perhaps in part because in 2021 life in the church and the community continued to be disrupted by COVID-19. None of us could have ever imagined that two years on we would still be grappling with the consequences of the pandemic. In my report for 2020 I made the comment that these strange times we continue to live in may prove to be a defining moment in the life of St Paul’s Chipperfield . Whilst our churches no longer remain closed, worship continues to feel curtailed; the wearing of face masks, needing to sing behind a mask, not being able to share the peace or receive communion in both parts, or fully engage in social activities that help to build and to sustain us as community has been difficult. The return to attending worship in person has been slow, as many have continued to be cautious about meeting in church. And again in Christmas 2021 there was a need to make last-minute changes to our plans. But as I said last year we know and need to be confident in the truth that in all things God works for the good of those who love him.

10

Living with disruption for an extended period is difficult: those fallow periods - seasons of exile - can be disheartening, destabilising and lead to disenchantment and grumbling. But they can also be times of renewal and strengthening, in which growth in trust and faith are possible. Engaging in lament is one of the ways we can bring our concerns to God with honesty and trust. Our Lent study this year focussed on the Psalms of Lament. These psalms show us how to pray and remain faithful and hopeful in difficult seasons. The study was held on Zoom, and those who attended were encouraged to compose their own psalms of lament. Such an exercise can help us to understand those things for which we should be grateful; and living intentionally from the perspective of gratitude guards us against despondency and transforms us. Seeds of Hope , a Prayer Journal for Lent, was prepared to complement the study: it gave us an opportunity to reflect on a passage of scripture each day and to call to mind those things for which we could be grateful.

Our Lenten approach stood us in good stead as we journeyed through Holy Week towards Easter and were faced with the disappointment of not being able to meet in church for these significant occasions in the church’s year. Sadly COVID again disrupted our Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Day celebrations, but we are grateful to have been able to meet on line. I know that many of you will have been disappointed at not being able to meet in person to give thanks to God for the saving work of the cross and resurrection of Christ, but will join me in thanking our small technical team Martin Dean and Paul Rogers for their commitment and dedication to keeping us on line and connected.

Among the blessings of these times is that it has meant we have had to work more closely together both in St Paul’s and with Holy Cross, we have come to recognise the limits of our control, have had to learn to live with and accept last minute changes and disappointments. But above all we have grown to be more accepting and adaptable, more open and willing to embrace change and try new things. Our journey with God should always take us forward.

Music has always been an important aspect of the life of St Paul’s and its connection to the community. In 2020, at the height of the pandemic, we took a leap of faith and appointed a Director of Music, Ben Atkinson-Rowley. Ben has given us much to celebrate in 2021. Our worship is being renewed through the introduction of a new communion setting, new hymnbooks and new choral services. This year’s choral services included Faure’s Requiem at All Souls in remembrances of those we have loved and lost and the Advent Carol Service on Advent Sunday. Live music always lifts the spirit and feeds the soul. The many concerts in 2021 were a sign of hope and gave much

11

needed refreshment to the village. Thanks Ben for all you bring and give to our community.

Other joys this year were our outdoor services, namely the Songs of Praise service of thanksgiving on The Common in August and the two Crib Services in December. My thanks to the team who made this possible, and to everyone who attended and participated in the services. Outdoor services give us the opportunity to be a visible presence in the community, they allow those who are on the fringe of church or simply passing by to step closer. Something to consider as we move forward.

In difficult seasons it is important for us to look for seeds of hope, to be alert to and recognise the opportunities and green shoots before us. A number have already been mentioned above, and I now turn to Messy Church, a new initiative in the Benefice which is also cause for celebration and hope. As a result, a number of new families have started attending church. It’s early days but the signs are promising; so we can be confident that with dedication and commitment, this will grow and flourish.

In addition to our regular services, St Paul’s church serves its community by enabling them to celebrate those life-affirming and life-changing moments in their lives. The birth of a child brings great joy to family and friends, in baptism we recognise the blessedness of children and give thanks to God for that life. Couples married in church often remark that making their vows before God and receiving his blessing as they begin their new life together is very special and affirming, and it equips them for a lifelong marriage of faithfulness and love. Funeral services enable bereaved family and friends to affirm the preciousness of life, entrust loved ones to God, and support each other in our grief. This year we have celebrated 8 baptisms, 3 weddings, held 7 funerals and 8 interments of ashes. We continue to give thanks to God for the lives of service and commitment of those who have died, as our Churchwardens have already noted, we particularly remember this year Giles Wyburd, Chris Smith and Terry Simmonds who contributed so much to the life of our church and village. May they rest in peace and rise in glory. We continue to pray for those who are bereaved.

We remember also those members of our community who have felt particularly vulnerable this year and have not been able to return to regularly worshipping in church. I am grateful to you for the continued support and care you give them through your visits and telephone conversations; and I also know that these are greatly appreciated.

During September and October 2021 there was an Autumn sermon series focussing on the theme of Generosity . God is the source and enabler of our generosity. The series started by considering the Generosity of God and ended with looking at the principles for generous living. Restrictions during the last eighteen months have impacted our finances, there were times in the year when our treasurer had genuine concerns, but thanks to your generosity we were able to meet all our financial commitments including the charitable donations that the PCC commit to giving in recognition of and faithfulness to the generosity of God towards us. My heartfelt thanks to all of you for your faithfulness and generosity.

Since becoming your Rector I have had the privilege of working with some very committed and faithful people. During the pandemic I have been touched by the mutual support you have for one another and the commitment you have, not only to St Paul’s but to the village community. I am very grateful to our Churchwardens Phil and Ann Waine for the considerable amount of work they do behind the scenes. Additionally, Phil, for his care and commitment to his role as Reader and I am especially thankful for his willingness to ministry at Holy Cross, in addition to St Paul’s. I am grateful to Fay Dent, our Treasurer, for her commitment and due diligence. To all those who welcome visitors to our services, the life of the church would not be sustained were it not for the many volunteers - among them the flower arrangers, the choir, those on the cleaning rota, the sidespeople, lesson readers, intercessors, those who wash the altar linen, and who give their time and energies to the service of others. It has been very good to be able to resume offering hospitality after the service, and to be able to catch up with each other’s news. Thank you to those who provide refreshments for us after the service. My thanks to all of you for your hard work and commitment to the community of St Paul’s and Chipperfield Village.

This year I would particularly like to thank Sue Walker and Stephen Morrill for their quiet, unwavering service and care; nothing is ever too difficult, all things are made possible, and what they do on our behalf is carried out with generosity, gentleness and humility. Thanks also to Sonya Tolmie, our Benefice Administrator whose attention to detail is staggering: Sonya does an amazing job at managing the office efficiently and effectively. On a personal note, I am so very grateful to her for the support she gives me on a daily basis, and for the prompts and notes that miraculously appear in my diary which keep me on track and help me to meet my various commitments and obligations including missed days off. There are of course many more people I could thank by name but please don’t think that no mention by name means that I have not noticed the contribution you have made to St Paul’s this year. So thank you all for turning up, joining up, and signing up to be part of this community. In the many years that I have been here I don’t think that I have

13

ever publicly thanked my family, but especially my husband Bob, for the love and support they give. The last two years have been particularly difficult for Bob and I and our family, so I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Bob for his generosity, patience, understanding and tireless encouragement given to help and enable me hold this office as your priest and pastor.

And what of the future?

If you were to ask me to settle on one word for the year it would be re-building . Re-building our life of faith and fellowship. We see in Acts that worship, study fellowship, prayer and generous living (Acts 2:42-47) results in the growth of the church. Focusing even on one aspect of this five-fold approach will have an impact on our common life. The re-introduction of home groups has sat in the background for over a year, but it is not time to make this a priority. It is my firm belief that every member of our church family needs to be part of a home group who meet regularly for study, fellowship, prayer or some other activity that enables us to learn and grow together as disciples of Christ and builds up the common life of the church. Re-establishing home groups is a priority for this year.

Being a visible presence in the community is important, and whilst the last two years of pandemic have been disruptive and caused much uncertainty, God is faithful, and there have been opportunities to grow and build relationships. Outdoor services have their challenges, but they have been joyous, brought an informality to our worship, and been a positive contribution to community life. Something to be considered in the future.

Another priority is to encourage the families who have started attending Messy Church and to develop our work with young children and families.

In addition there is a need to review our Mission Action Plan.

Last year I noted in my report that the valuing of fellowship; the unexpected kindnesses received from others; the pulling together of the village, and an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the life you have here was a recurring theme in your stories and those of the village. I also posed a question:

‘What, I wonder, would church look like if we actively promote, encourage and embed a culture of random acts of kindness and gratitude as a hallmark of St Paul’s?’

It was both a vision for, and a challenge to this community to live in ways that communicated the unbounded love God has for us: may we become that visible presence of God’s kingdom in our hurting world, and be known ‘ a place of connection and community that nurtures relationships and brings a sense of hope, trust and faith’

14

I continue to be hopeful about this way of life for St Paul’s and am confident that, as we work together and walk hand in hand under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, it will come to pass.

Yours in Christ Reverend Canon Michele du Saire, Rector to the Benefice of Sarratt and Chipperfield.

November : Churchyard and church working party.

NB: Tap and Go machine was initially installed in December 2019 but has been recently upgraded.

Our Church Family

We are extremely grateful for the many people who help to keep the church running, including sidespersons, readers, caterers, our choir, floral team, sacristans, church cleaners and those who open and close the church each day. We want to pass on our thanks to each and every one of you who have contributed in any way, not forgetting our ‘broadcasting team’ who offer such a valuable service to those who cannot attend church in person. We are blessed with an amazing Christmas team who assemble the outside crib and purchase, install and decorate our two Christmas trees. Building the crib is no mean feat and last year was no exception, taking two days overall (including frequent breaks in Blackwells!). The outdoor crib is much admired and for the past two years we have delayed removing it and the external Christmas tree until Candlemas.

Once again, we offer our gratitude to our Hon Treasurer, Fay Dent, for the hours and hours of hard work that she and her team have spent on our church accounts. We thank our PCC Secretary, Lucy Wood, for the patience and efficiency she brings to that role. Special thanks to Anne Wyburd who helped compile the rotas for many years and we welcome Alison Bush, who has replaced her. Finally, I cannot, of course, mention the word ‘efficient ’without naming Sonya, our Administrator. In fact, I believe that ‘Efficiency’ must be her middle name! How could we ever function as churchwardens without her?

Sadly, we lost two regular members of the congregation last year. Giles Wyburd was a long-standing, much respected member of the congregation and we will miss him striding up to the lectern to read the Lesson, particularly on Remembrance Sunday. Chris Smith, who passed away a few days after Christmas, will also be missed. Terry Simmonds, a stalwart of Chipperfield Baptist Church who attended numerous services at St Paul’s sadly passed away last November. Terry was a ‘village legend’ and will be greatly missed - village events will not be the same without Terry and his camera!

16

Last November the Benefice held a ‘Messy Church’ at Sarratt village hall, followed by a second event in January at St Paul’s. Both Messy Churches were well attended, great fun and more are planned. A new Youth Team has been formed to pave the way for further events for older children. Our Family Services continue once per month and we are grateful to those who work so hard to organise these. Our apologies if we have inadvertently missed any activity or person from the thank you list - which clearly tells us that the church needs every one of our hard-working volunteers! More help is always required and always welcome so please do not hesitate to come forward if you think you can support us in any way at all. Don’t wait to be asked!

Rev’d Michele

No churchwarden’s report would be complete without mentioning the love, hard work and faith of our rector, Michele. Michele continues to work hard to produce liturgy formats for the various services, making them easy to follow and more accessible to all. During her years with us, her attention to pastoral matters has been a deep source of encouragement to St Paul’s and is much appreciated by all who receive it.

COVID

It has been, for all of us, another ‘on and off’ year with regard to the pandemic. With the advent of a vaccine and more scientific and medical knowledge of the virus, we have managed to be able to encourage and welcome members of the congregation back to the church. Our church family have trickled back slowly and it is quite understandable that some people have been nervous about returning. However, it is our sincere hope that more people will feel confident enough to return in person in the coming months. We greatly appreciate the ‘COVID safety team’ who have helped to keep us safe during these uncertain times.

Music Concerts

Ben Atkinson, our Director of Music, is a man of many talents and last year he organised five fund-raising concerts in the church (including taking part in one of them). The concerts were a mixture of classical music and songs from the West End and each and every one of them was entertaining, excellent and exhilarating. Not only that - they were hugely welcome after the long period of starvation of live entertainment due to the pandemic. Thank you, Ben - and we look forward to many more.

17

And finally…..this will be Ann’s final year of being a churchwarden. Please, please think seriously about taking over this role, (made all the more easier by the sharing of duties with other members of the congregation).

Ann & Philip Waine Churchwardens

REPORT OF THE PCC MEETINGS 2021

Churchwardens

Philip and Ann Waine kindly offered to continue as churchwardens were reelected at the APCM in May.

Members of the PCC and Deanery Synod Representatives

Judy Olney stepped down as a member of the PCC and Deanery Synod representative after many years of service in both roles, as well previously serving as our churchwarden and taking on countless other commitments to support the church family. We have been blessed by Judy’s wisdom and care during her time in office and give her a heartfelt thanks for all she has done, and continues to do, in support of church life.

Our re-elected members were James Bush and Sue Walker. The continuing members for 2021-22 were Clare Brook, Alison Bush, Ian Chantrell, Fay Dent (treasurer), Pippa Frow, Jennie Laurie, Lucy Wood (secretary) and David Zerny. Elaine Dean has continued as our Deanery Synod representative this year and we continue to seek a second representative.

Financial Matters

Caroline Hargrove has kindly continued as our independent examiner and details of the church finances in 2021 are given in the Treasurer’s report. The Diocesan share for 2021 was £48,870.

Parish Administration

Sonya Tolmie, our Benefice Administrator, has continued her outstanding support of the PCC throughout 2021 as we have continued to negotiate the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic.

Revision of the Electoral Roll

There was a revision of the Electoral Roll during 2021. As in 2020, the Benefice records for the members of the Electoral Roll enable the Annual Report to be distributed electronically to all members with email addresses. Hard copies will be made available on request.

18

Safeguarding

Sue Walker has continued in the vital position of Benefice Safeguarding Coordinator and the Parish Administrator, Sonya Tolmie, has provided the administrative support for processing DBS checks. A separate safeguarding report gives details of actions taken during 2021.

Building, Fabric and IT

Full details of the repair and maintenance of the church approved by the PCC in 2021 are given in the Churchwardens’ report. In December 2019, the PCC was advised that the roof requires significant repair work, although there is no imminent risk. A full appraisal of the requirements was going to take place in 2020, alongside a proposal to have a wider restoration and improvement to the internal aspects of the church. However, the project has been deferred due to the continuing coronavirus pandemic.

Church restrictions during the coronavirus pandemic

The church was closed for public worship from 1 January to 21 April 2021, due to the continued prevalence of coronavirus. The suspension of worship during this period was reviewed and agreed by the PCC at monthly meetings in January, February and March. During the same period, the church was opened for supervised private prayer twice a week, with Sue Walker kindly organising the rota for supervision.

Once services resumed ‘in person’, those wishing to attend were asked to register with Sonya, and measures were put in place to enable adequate social distancing. Two services each month continued to be live-streamed and recorded. Many members of our church family have been involved in preparing and broadcasting worship throughout the year; the PCC are deeply grateful for all those who gave so freely of their time and talents to make this possible, with special thanks to Martin Dean and Paul Rodgers.

Music at St Paul’s

Ben Atkinson has continued in the position of Director of Music. He presented a vision for the year to the PCC in January 2021, including:

19

Youth and Families

The All Age Services have been held in the church each month from April 2021 onwards, with on-line streaming for those unable to attend in person. Messy church was started towards the end of 2021 (see Churchwardens report). The Benefice youth team continued to meet throughout the year and, although it has not been possible to have youth activities due to the pandemic, thought and prayer has guided the team as they consider plans going forward. At the time of writing, activities for Year 6 (Age 11) and above are due to commence shortly. The PCC agreed the setting up of a Benefice Instagram account to enable a weekly message to be offered to our local community. Instagram is already being used by the Church of England and other local churches such as Flaunden and St Lawrence’s. Whilst the account is being run by the youth team, it is a benefice-wide account.

Ian Chantrell stepped down as a school governor for St Paul’s school, Chipperfield and the PCC agreed to propose Lyndsey Billinge as a new school governor.

Mission Action Plan (MAP) review

A review of the MAP was initiated during 2021, with three ‘Zoom’ meetings, led by David Zerny, for members of the PCC. A new mission statement was agreed and a proposed list of priorities was drawn up. A breakfast meeting for all members of the church family to review the MAP was planned for November 2021, but was postponed due to the Omicron variant causing a surge in infections.

Mission Giving

The details of our annual Mission Giving are given in the Treasurer’s report. In addition, in September, a donation of £250 each was made to two charities supporting refugees from Afghanistan, Red Cross Afghanistan Appeal and UNHCR Afghanistan Appeal.

SAFEGUARDING REPORT

Safeguarding continues to be of major importance, one which the Diocese of St Albans takes very seriously. We receive regular newsletters and emails from the Diocese Safeguarding team. The team are always very helpful and we are grateful for their support.

In my report last year, I said we had signed up on the Dashboard and this has been a great tool ensuring we keep up to date with all the paperwork coming from the Diocese. An action plan is printed off and presented to the PCC at their meetings. This ensures the PCC know where we are.

Sonya has continued to be of great help in updating the spreadsheet of training and DBS records. She reminds us all when updates fall due. Thank you very much, Sonya.

TRAINING

Training is still a must for all those involved with children, young people and vulnerable adults. Training has to be renewed every three years by completing the highest previous training level.

A big thank you to all those whose training is up to date and a big ask for those not there yet to do so as soon as possible. Training is on-line and takes no more than an hour and a half. Any queries, do contact either Sonya or myself.

DISCLOSURE AND BARRING SERVICE

Sonya continues to remind people when their DBS checks become due for renewal and assists them with their applications. DBS checks for the church now have to be renewed every three years.

PCC members and DBS checks

Where a PCC sponsors and approves, in its own name, children's work or work with vulnerable adults, all PCC members should complete a DBS check.

POLICY STATEMENTS

Each year, PCCs in the Diocese must confirm their commitment to adopting and adhering to the Diocesan Policies. I bring to your attention the resolution passed at the June 2021 PCC meeting:-

“At its meeting on 23 June 2021, the PCC of St Paul's Church, Chipperfield, agreed unanimously to comply with its duty under Section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have due regard to

21

the House of Bishops' Guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults)”.

It adopted the Diocese of St Albans Policies for Safeguarding Children, Vulnerable Adults and for responding to Domestic Abuse, and Employment of Ex-Offenders. It accepted the Best Practice Guidelines for the Diocese and pledged to continue to work towards full compliance with the Measure and the details implied by the policies and best practice guidelines. In addition. Livestreaming Policies are all in place.

GDPR

We have Data Privacy Notices in place from 2018 and review periodically all the data.

Sue Walker Safeguarding Co-ordinator

DEANERY SYNOD REPORT

Year ending 31[st] December 2021

The Deanery Synod met three times in 2021: in March, July and November, all by Zoom, with good attendance from the 12 members of the House of Clergy and 27 members of the House of Laity. The Deanery Standing and Pastoral Committee (DSPC) met by Zoom in January and May.

Rupert Barnes has stepped down as Treasurer. A new Treasurer, Tony Barton, new Diocesan Secretary, Guy Parks, both from St. Oswald’s, were appointed. Duncan Kerr has stepped down as Lay Chair after many years; and John Rhodes, from Rickmansworth and a Diocesan Synod member, agreed to be Deanery Lay Chair.

Simon Cutmore, the new Rural Dean, was on study leave from February to May and during this time Charles Burch stepped in as Acting Rural Dean.

At the March meeting, Rev Canon Dr Tim Bull gave a presentation on ‘Promoting Vocations’ as the C of E makes progress towards its aim of 50% more ordinands compared with 2017.

Bill Seddon issued written reports on the informal General Synod Zoom meetings held in February and April.

22

Following Covid restrictions during which services had been recorded or livestreamed, most churches were re-opened in March and all were open by Easter.

New curates were ordained for Christ Church (Nicolette Wolfe) and St. Andrews, Chorleywood (James Rigby).

Fr Sam Frampton, curate at Mill End, was licensed to St. Matthews, Oxhey.

In July, the guest speaker was Rachel Brockie from the Children’s Society. She presented worrying child statistics indicating that in SW Herts. 5 in 30 have mental health issues; 19% live in poverty. Parishes are encouraged to include an approach to children’s mental health in their MAP. The CS could help with this.

Bill Seddon gave a presentation and issued the agenda for the July General Synod.

Several Parishes reported they were making progress on revising their MAPs

The following will represent the Deanery in Diocesan Synod: House of Clergy: S Cutmore, T Horlock, T Russoff, D Snowball. House of Laity: N Challis; C Harer; L Palmer; J Rhodes

REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL AFFAIRS OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL

Treasurer’s Report for the year ended 31 December 2021

It has been another difficult year financially for us in 2021, as the Covid pandemic has again caused our church to be closed for part of the year. Fortunately, we started the year on a high when we were nominated by a parishioner to receive £25,000 from Bridgepoint Charitable Trust and this has protected us, to a large degree, against the financial effects of Covid.

You will see from the accounts that our church giving for 2021 is down by quite a lot on last year. Whilst this is due, in part, to the fantastic financial support we had last year, it also reflects the fact that we are still unable to have a collection in church. The fees for weddings, funerals and baptisms are up this year, as we were able at last to enjoy wedding celebrations. However, our income from hiring out the Parish Room was only £5,000 as bookings are still recovering following the restrictions of Covid.

On the expenditure there are no big surprises and most of our expenses are in line with last year, apart from an increase in energy costs, which have had an impact on our finances, and will continue to do so in the future. In November our gas supplier, CNG, went into liquidation and we were assigned to another supplier. As a result, the gas bills have soared and the electric charges have also increased considerably. On average, over the months of November, December, January, February and March, we have paid £750 per month for our energy. I have negotiated a slightly better deal for our gas to come into effect in November this year but we must be prepared for considerable increases in charges going forward.

We have made a few purchases that were considered necessary for the running of the church. We purchased a lovely gazebo in early August, to enable us to have outdoor services on Chipperfield Common. The services were a huge success and enjoyed by both our church community and several passers-by. One service was followed by a barbecue, served from the Parish Room, and the weather was kind to us too.

Over the course of the year, we have undertaken major upgrades to our audio systems in the church, making the sound quality significantly better and helping with the online streaming of services. Our thanks go to Martin Dean and Paul Rodgers. We have been able to stream and record many services this year and, whilst this has caused some additional costs for various equipment and licences etc., it is good to see the church keeping up with

25

technology and able to put St Pauls on the internet, enabling those at home to join in with our services.

The music at St Pauls has changed over the last year with the addition of the concerts and the various choral evensongs that Ben has organised, together with the special services for Easter and Christmas. Ben had raised the need for a better piano, so it was decided to purchase one in time for our Christmas services. The concerts have proved very popular and have also started to provide an income, now that we can have increased audience numbers. We feel extremely blessed to have such a high quality of music at St Pauls, which we can all enjoy and also brings an income into the church.

We have been able to continue our tradition of making mission payments of 10% of our church donations. This year, we donated £1,760 to each of the following charities: The Children’s Society, Dens, Médecins sans Frontières, Age Concern UK and Afghanistan Refugees UNHCR.

Finally, I would like to thank you all for your continued support of our church. We are very fortunate here in Chipperfield that, despite the pandemic, our finances are still very secure and every time I start to think we may have a shortfall coming another amazing donation appears. We also have a very strong team of supporters giving freely of their time, energy and skills which not only ensure that all the business of the church gets done, it gets done at a low cost.

Many thanks to you all. Fay

Parish Prayer

Almighty God, fill us with your love.

Jesus our Saviour, teach us to serve and care with generosity and joy, courage and hope, humility and gentleness.

Holy Spirit, stir and inspire us. Strengthen and equip us to faithfully proclaim in word and deed the all-embracing love of God. Guide us and help us to be vibrant imitators of Christ making him known in the world.

For the sake of the kingdom and in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
