Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council of St Peter’s Bishopsworth y/e 31.12.20 20

Aims and Purposes

St. Peter’s Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, the Reverend Tim Godden, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

The PCC has taken responsibility for the maintenance of the Church Halls.

Objectives and Activities

At St Peter’s we have agreed the following:

Structure, governance and management

The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC is a Registered Charity No. 1172266.

The appointment of PCC members is governed by and set out in the Church Representation Rules. At St. Peter’s the membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent (our vicar), churchwardens, lay ministers and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who attend our services / members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.

The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. New members receive initial training into the workings of the PCC.

The full PCC met six times during the year switching to Zoom meetings after March. E ach member of the PCC is given ‘The Engaged PCC member ’ at the beginning of the year which sets out the expectations and responsibilities of PCC members.

The PCC has several committees, all but one of which are advisory and are established to meet specific goals.

Standing Committee (Leadership Team)

This is the only committee required by law. It has the power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions by the council. At St Peter’s this is known as the leadership team consisting of the vicar, church wardens, lay ministers and other co-opted members, meeting monthly to support the vicar and oversee the strategy of the church.

Strategic Finance and Property (formally Fabric and Finance) Committee

This committee was updated in 2020 with a remit to oversee the church’s finances both income and expenditure with particular reference to the maintenance of the buildings. All recommendations made by this Committee need to be ratified by the PCC. It also oversees all aspects of Health and Safety within the church, church hall and external grounds.

SPARC Management Committee

This committee was established to oversee the St Peter’s Activity and Resource Centre (SPARC). SPARC was set up through funding as an outreach project to serve the local community.

Church Halls

The church halls including the former caretaker’s cottage are owned by a separate Vicar and Churchwardens trust (Registered charity no: 272301) known as "The St Peters Bishopsworth Charity" established by a deed in 1976. The PCC maintains the buildings and receives rent from community lettings.

Achievements and Performance

Worship

In writing the report on worship I normally reference the previous years report as there are usually issues of continuity to pick up upon. Reading last years report however feels like a different organisation and in terms of what has happened in regard to worship and in many ways it is.

This is of course due to coronavirus which affected even our ability to gather together to worship. The impact and changing nature of coronavirus during the year can perhaps be seen in a breakdown of the year in terms of Sundays when physical services were held in Church and Sundays when they were not: -

Physical services for 11 Sundays No physical services for 16 Sundays Physical services for 17 Sundays No physical services for 4 Sundays Physical services for 4 Sundays

This illustrates both the impact of coronavirus on the ability to hold physical services with there being none on 20 Sundays and the stop-start nature of everything for the whole year.

It should of course be noted, and this is the most significant issue in regard to worship this year, that there were services provided every Sunday of the year even when there were no physical services happening in Church. Services were prerecorded and made available online on our Facebook page and YouTube channel. The Services that did happen physically in Church were also livestreamed through these channels.

Our understanding and experience of worship this year has therefore been significantly impacted by this dual approach to worship i.e., physical and pre-recorded/livestreamed. Even when there have been physical services, there have been two – congregations the physical and the virtual. The statistics reveal the significance of the virtual congregation.

When we have been able to meet physically the physical attendance has been around 30 and the virtual attendance, from the statistics we have available, has probably been in excess of 100 although it is impossible to precisely quantify. However, this would mean that although the physical attendance has been considerably lower than it had previously been in normal times, the total attendance is in fact higher.

This dual approach to worship has impacted in various ways. On the Sundays when only pre-recorded services were available these were produced for both St. Peters Bishopsworth and St. Oswalds Bedminster Down.

Whether the services have happened physically or not the structure of them has been simplified and shortened. This has been partly due to the restrictions on physical worship i.e., no singing is permitted and the wearing of facemasks is compulsory except for those leading the worship!

In regard to the content and style of services one significant difference is that there have been no Christenings in the main Sunday service since March. This has meant that the normal All-Age Service with Baptisms on the third Sunday of the month has become an adapted Café Church service along with the first Sunday of the month.

We have continued to highlight certain priorities in our services i.e., SPARC, St. Peter`s School and Coffee Pot. We were pleased under the circumstances to be able to provide a full programme of live and online Christmas services.

In closing I would particularly like to thank those who have worked incredibly hard to make our online worship services – possible John Hooper and the Church music group for recording our songs and Sam and Katie Biden for all their technological expertise both in Church and at home in making the services available.

Prayer

Due to the effects of the Covid 19 pandemic Church life has had to change and adapt during this year to continue to provide times of worship and to serve our church family’s practical and prayer needs.

Our weekly Prayer List continues to be emailed to the Leadership Team, the Pastoral Group leaders and the Home Group leaders every Sunday afternoon for their continued prayer support for those on the list. It includes any changes, and updates. This is an ongoing task and we are very grateful to be well informed and up to date which assists us in our prayers.

The Bi-monthly Prayer Request sheet has ceased and we now produce an excellent monthly prayer suggestion diary with wide ranging thoughtful suggestions for each day of the month. Using this tool can broaden and deepen our prayer lives. At the beginning of each month the list is emailed to the congregation, and it is also uploaded in weekly episodes to the Weekly News Sheet on our church website.

Prayer intercessions, including the church prayer list, are still offered by a number of different people as part of pre-recorded services.

Prayer ministry during Communion is not taking place at the moment due to the restrictions, and neither is the monthly prayer meeting after the morning service on the first Sunday. We aim to re-instate these as part of our regular church life as soon as we can.

As part of regular contact with the members of each pastoral group and the home group study ‘meetings,’ prayer for others is still an important part of who we are and how we serve God and each other.

Developing our own personal relationship with God that involves reading His Word and prayer, is always a priority for followers of Jesus. He took r egular time out to be with his Father, and so should we. Selwyn Hughes has written, ‘…. for the intake of spiritual resources, we need the blessing that comes from the Word of God and prayer. God offers us infinite resources for the – asking and taking. The quiet time is where the soul grows receptive and where prayer becomes powerful. As a result, we gain the quiet heart that in turn becomes quiet confidence, and that becomes quiet power.’

Prayer is a gift and privilege. It comes from God. It is where we can be alone and together, in His presence. We look forward in – – faith to the day when we can continue and deepen our prayer life physically and spiritually together.

Pastoral Care

This year has been very different for the whole country, as well as our Church in particular and this has necessarily had an impact on the Pastoral care we offer to our Church Members. For the most part, we have been unable to meet physically. Our church services, when they have been permitted, have been limited by social distancing and the wearing of masks. Our homegroups have been unable to meet at all.

However, we have been able to maintain contact with each other by a variety of means. We have made good use of Facebook, YouTube, emails and Zoom meetings.

In May we conducted a Well-being Survey of the whole congregation to ascertain how people were coping with the restrictions. We could then highlight any areas of specific need and offer help to those who were struggling. Volunteers offered to do shopping and get prescriptions for those unable to go out themselves. This survey is being repeated this winter in January/February to compare people’s overall social, emotional, mental and spiritual well -being and discover whether their needs have changed.

In all our Pastoral Groups we have kept in touch via telephone calls, texts, emails and the weekly Zoom Coffee Mornings. Homegroups have continued to “meet” via regular Bible Studies which have been emailed out to those online and by post to those are not. One homegroup has held a fortnightly Zoom meeting. More people have been taking part in these Bible Studies.

We very much miss our church services and regular face-to-face contact with our friends and look forward to the time when we can all meet again and worship together.

Outreach

– This year outreach has looked quite different to what we expected with regard to serving our three main mission priorities Coffee Pot, St. Peter’s School and SPARC. There has been a necessary move from the physical to the virtual. Despite not being able to meet physically, the concept of St. Peter’s as a campus site comprising the Church, the School and SPARC has evolved in a number of ways and we have seen some success in reaching members of the ‘missing generation’ (the 18-50s age group).

Coffee Pot

Coffee Pot has continued to flourish on Wednesday mornings; in the Church building at the start of the year before moving online due to lockdown regulations. The team have done an amazing job livestreaming Coffee Pot singing time by the means of Facebook Live throughout the year. It has been incredible to see the development of this community online, through the weekly singing times as well as the sharing of craft ideas, discussions on the Facebook page and distribution of Christmas packs for every child. Whilst it is not yet known when Coffee Pot will restart physically in the Church building it is very evident that this outreach is still very much ongoing and valued with new families still joining Coffee Pot even during the physical closure. We look forward to meeting once again physically and welcoming and supporting both old and new families.

St Peter’s Church of England Primary School

The relationship with our local primary school has strengthened significantly this year. Pupils and staff have participated in Café Church services and we have seen some new families in Church and engaging online. We have had the opportunity to work closely with the school RE lead, learning all about the new RE syllabus. Plans for the launch of a school club and a Prayer Space day have had to be put on hold due the pandemic. Weekly online assemblies for all pupils have been created to be watched in classrooms or at home. We very much look forward to continuing developing this relationship between the Church and School with a newly appointed Headteacher who takes up his post in January 2021.

SPARC

Taking on the role as Church Outreach Coordinator in January there was the immediate planning for, and in some cases launching of, physical projects. This included:

Several changes had to be made to plans in recognition of the forced closure of SPARC for the majority of the year, including the launching of online and socially distanced initiatives such as:

Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council of St Peter’s Bishopsworth y/e 31.12.20 20

In terms of plans moving forwards there is very much a hope that with an eventual return to reopening SPARC we will have a renewed focus on the target to develop the resource side of SPARC for the benefit of the community in 2021, especially in the context of recovering from the pandemic. Many of the plans for this have already been undertaken as listed above and we are just waiting to be able to physically deliver the activities. In the meantime, we have planned our first online Parent Talk: the Primary Years course to begin in January 2021 and will have a new parent/child class run by the Children’s Centre running weekly in SPARC as soon as national and local restrictions allow.

SPARC project (Ark Softplay)

2020 has certainly been a challenging year for the St Peter’s Activity and Resource Centre (SPARC) but there have been many positives to take from it.

Looking ahead to 2021 there are several challenges to be faced:

7

Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council of St Peter’s Bishopsworth y/e 31.12.20 20

Property

At the end of 2019 it was decided to bring forward the next quinquennial inspection to February 2020.This was done to ensure that we had a full list of outstanding work on the church building to take into consideration at the same time as the urgent requirements for work on the church halls.

Due to the Covid pandemic, few major repairs have been undertaken during the year. Work has primarily consisted of planning for future needs and essential maintenance.

The first requirement was the repair to the west end of the church north parapet & gully (due to lead theft at the end of 2019) and the fitting of a roof alarm. Application was made to the Diocese for List B consent and the work was completed in December.

The second requirement was for repairs to the church windows. We have a quotation in place and an application was made to the Diocese for List B consent. Work will be carried out early in 2021.

This still leaves the following necessary work for which we are in the process of obtaining quotations & permission from the Diocese to proceed with: -

  1. Replacement of the church heating system

  2. Further work on the north wall, parapet & gully

  3. Decoration of the church interior

In respect of the church halls complex the following projects are planned: -

  1. Conservation work on our grade 2 listed buildings (cottage, church hall & feed my lambs room). This will involve repairs to stonework and repointing. We are currently waiting for listed buildings consent before proceeding with this work. The internal repair to the church hall was completed in December 2020 at a cost of £2854.

  2. The church hall flooring will be replaced in early March.

  3. All windows associated with the Ark soft play will be replaced the last week in March including repairs to the south wall of the Ark.

  4. This still leaves the updating & replacement of the church hall kitchen

Safeguarding

This has been a very challenging year in so many ways. Fortunately, both at church and Diocesan levels the administrative fundamentals of safeguarding have continued to function as best they can.

Here at St Peter’s our current safeguarding policy was revi sed and adopted at a belated Annual Parochial Church Meeting in October 2020. A revisit of this document and possible revision will be due later this year under the supervision of our new Parish Safeguarding Officer and the PCC.

A copy of this can also be found at the back of church and also on the St Peter’s church website.

During the latter months of last year; socially distanced arrangements agreed at Diocesan level enabled the renewal of several DBS certificates for church members engaged in certain prescribed roles. Some checking of certificates remains to be completed as and when we enter less disruptive times.

The Diocese has long promoted a programme of safeguarding training which varies its content to match specific roles within our fellowship. Online procedures enabled a continuation of general training which was undertaken by several church members. However not all identified personnel were able to take part in the programmes then on offer. In the future it would be wise to audit the training needs of individuals as and when various church-based activities are able to restart.

Our ongoing commitment to the safeguarding of all, especially those considered to be vulnerable has remained undaunted during this difficult time. Our policy guidelines d o not limit us to the protection of church attendees alone. The joint “Covid” related drawbacks of closure and lockdown have in fact woken and encouraged a wider community view of safeguarding for all, by all. Long may that remain the case.

Financial Review

Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £252,718 (2019: £74,895) of which £190,680 (2019: £ 37,401) was unrestricted voluntary donations, £5,961 (2019: £ 13,861) from lettings and a further £8,848 (2019: £ 7,937) was from Gift Aid. A very generous unrestricted legacy of £150,000 was received during the year.

The unrestricted planned giving through envelopes and banker’s orders increased by 15% to £39,108 (2019: decreased 10%, £34,012).

The SPARC Softplay project has been severely affected by the Covid pandemic, closing from the first lockdown in March and only opening for three weeks in November. All staff were furloughed during this time with £32,423 received in government furlough grants.

Two grants, £5K from Temple Ecclesiastical and £2.5K from John James were received to support the Ark during the Covid Pandemic.

Takings for the year totalled £25,890 (2019: £82,979); donations of £1,195 (2019: £1,268) were also received. Total expenditure for the year was £72,292 (2019: £86,884).

Total income, including tax recovered increased by 48% (2019: decreased by 13%) to £293,812 (2019: £198,356) compared with last year.

£94,309 (2019: £89,804) was spent from unrestricted funds to provide the Christian ministry from St. Peter’s Church, including the contribution to the diocesan parish share that increased by 2% (2019:2.5%) in the year and contributes towards the stipends and housing for the rector, in addition to other support from the diocese.

The net result for the year after transfers was a surplus of £121,460 (2019: deficit of £12,660)on unrestricted funds including the designated funds.

Of the substantial unrestricted legacy of £150K was received during the year, £134,689 was transferred out of the General Fund; £90K to the Fabric Fund for major repairs still needed on the church buildings; £40K to a newly established Church Mission Fund and £4,689 to clear the deficit on the SPARC Fund as agreed by the PCC.

The balance carried forward on 31st December 2020 on the General Fund increased by 28% to £53,394 (2019: £41,657).

Reserves Policy

It is PCC policy to endeavour to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds which equates to at least three months unrestricted payments. This is equivalent to £30,000. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies.

At the year end the unrestricted free reserves stood at a healthy £53,394

Designated Funds are held for future property repairs and new outreach initiatives.

1. Accounting policies

The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations’ “true and fair view” provisions and the version (SORP(FRS102)). of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities

During the Covid Pandemic, the PCC was extremely fortunate to receive a substantial legacy. This together with sustained regular donations enabled the trustees to be confident that the charity would be able to continue as a going concern Therefore, the charity trustees do not know of any material reason as to why the charity should not continue as a going concern

The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS102.

ASSETS

Consecrated and benefice property

In so far as consecrated and benefice property of any kind is excluded from the statutory definition of ‘charity’ by Section 10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011 such assets are not capitalised in the financial statements.

Moveable church furnishings

These are capitalised at cost and depreciated over their useful economic life other than where insufficient cost information is available. In this case the item is not capitalised, but all items are included in the Church’s inventory in any case.

Tangible fixed assets for use by charity

These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £1,000. They are valued at cost or else, for gifts- in-kind, at a reasonable estimate of their open market value on receipt.

Depreciation is calculated to write off the capitalized cost of fixed assets less their currently anticipated residual fair value over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Land Nil Fixtures & Fittings 20 years Computers 3 years

No depreciation is provided on buildings as the currently estimated residual value of the properties is not less than their carrying value and the remaining useful life of these assets currently exceeds 50 years, so that any depreciation charges would be immaterial.

An impairment review is carried out at each year-end and any resultant loss identified included in expenditure for the year.

Investments

Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange or whose value derives from them are valued at market value at the year end. Other investment assets are included at PCC’s best estimate of market value.

Short term deposits

These are the cash held on deposit either with the CCLA or at the bank.
