The Parish of St. Luke with St. Mark Winchester

Annual Report for 2020 (As required by the Charities Act 1993)

The P.C.C. (Parochial Church Council) has met four times during the last year. It has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent and churchwardens, in promoting across the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. A new provision, in the Church Representation Rules 2020, now enables the P.C.C. to conduct business by email. This has proved beneficial in enabling certain decisions to be made by email over the course of the pandemic.

The P.C.C. also has the maintenance responsibilities for:

St. Luke’s Church and Centre in Stanmore and

St. Mark’s Church, also used as a hall, in Oliver’s Battery. It also holds and reviews all Parish Policy documents.

MEMBERSHIP. The P.C.C. is made up of:

b) Representatives elected by the Annual Parish Gathering,

in accordance with Church Representation Rules

The P.C.C. operates through task-based work groups, reporting directly to it. The Standing Committee (This is the only committee required by law. Its function is set out in the paper dated November 2006) functions include Agenda planning and setting the budget before submission to the P.C.C. It meets as needed for preparation for each P.C.C. meeting, and can be called to make emergency decisions on behalf of the P.C.C. (following the policy of September 2006.)

Of course we all know that 2020 was far from a normal year. Lockdown in the Spring meant that our church could not meet for several months. Likewise, lots of activities that would normally have taken place were unable to. This meant that fundraising was put on hold, and lettings stopped. For these reasons, income was significantly reduced last year, with fundraising down by £1,000, collections down by £2,000, and lettings down by £10,000. As there was very little use of the church buildings, this also meant some savings. However, we paid our contribution to the Diocese Common Mission Fund (otherwise known as parish share) in full, and continued to maintain our buildings in usable condition.

6

A large part of our maintenance costs last year was the repair of the front wall, which was covered in full by our insurance. The total income for the year was boosted considerably by two legacies totalling £99,641.02, the bulk of which have been earmarked for use on St Mark’s building project that is being implemented during the spring of 2021.

We support Local ‘personal’ and community needs through the Vicar’s Discretionary Fund.

St Luke’s 2020 Vicar’s report

It has been 6 months since our last ‘annual’ meeting and whilst we already had a lot going on, we now have another aspect to add to it all… that is the merger of Christ Church and St Luke’s & St Mark’s parish. More on this later.

As you will be aware we have re-started physical services which is a great encouragement and highlights our need to worship together in person. Christ Church and St Faiths continue to help with taking services each month with the Luke@10 team (who have been the Luke@9 team temporarily until St Marks opens again!) taking on the second Sunday of the month and myself doing the monthly evening Eucharist. Thank you to all those involved in services and ensuring they happen and especially thank you to both Geoff Fowler and Brian Marlow for helping hold things together as Churchwardens during this particularly difficult patch. Brian will be stepping down from his role as Churchwarden and we will be saying thank you to him at the APG.

The ‘behind the scenes work’ for removing and then building a new St Luke’s is continuing with the Diocese sending off the paperwork to the Church Commissioners even as I write this. Once the Church Commissioners have agreed the draft proposals and ensured all the correct paperwork is in place, we will be able to start the public consultation, which itself will last 6 weeks. In the meantime St Mark’s refurbishment, phase one, is almost complete and the building will be re-opening shortly. Having been inside a number of times, the refurbishment has already made a remarkable difference and I believe everyone will be very happy with the changes.

In mid-July we will be celebrating the 60[th] anniversary of St Lukes and 65[th] anniversary of St Marks. Bishop David and his wife Helen are joining us for the whole morning and lunchtime on Sunday 18[th] July at both churches. Geoff and Marianne are leading a planning group to work out the details of how we will celebrate over that weekend, so please do save the date and keep an eye out for announcements. As we have not been able to hold a service for Mike and Kate’s retirement they are coming back for that weekend so that we can say a proper goodbye to them as well. I know they are looking forward to spending time with everyone.

Marianne has been our ordinand in the parish for almost two years now. She is being ordained deacon on 4[th] July in the cathedral and this will be able to be viewed online. Due to the amount of preparations needed for ordination services they have had to limit numbers attending even though social restrictions may well be completely lifted by then. As such you will not be able to go and support her in person, but you will be able to afterwards at her first service as a deacon (place and time to be confirmed). Whilst she is going to be a curate under Rev Simon Cansdale, her main (but not exclusive) area of focus is going to be around St Lukes and St Marks. As you know, the arrangement that Rev Mike and I had meant I was due to step back when he retired, however, with the merger of Christ Church I have now agreed to stay on until that is complete to ensure a smooth transition.

We are expecting the merger to complete at some point in the autumn - though we cannot be certain as to the exact date. However, the Diocese is only going to finish the merger once they have signed-off the paperwork for the replacement of St Luke’s church, including doing a public consultation. In the meantime, to help with the transition I have invited Revd Simon Cansdale to join us at a PCC over the next few months and from September I will start ‘passing over the reins’ to him so that questions of how the merger works can be worked out jointly.

8

God is faithful and loving and He has brought us through another year. The last couple of years has been turbulent, however, the Lord knows what is needed and He is faithful to those who call on His name. As we seek His will for the way forward, not just with buildings and mergers but with the more important mission of spreading His word, we know that He will confirm His word as we walk in His ways. So let us hold to what we know is true - that God is good, all the time, that He can be relied upon for everything that is needed and that everyone who seeks the Lord will be raised up by Him.

3. Minutes of the Annual Parochial Church Meeting on 28[th] April 2019. All correct with no amendments.

4. Presentation of the revised Electoral Roll. Sue Sadler presented the revised Electoral Roll. There were 90 names on the new Electoral Roll last year Since then, one has been removed and 6 added. There are now 95 names on t his year’s Roll, 13 of which are non -residents.

5. Presentation of the Log Books, Terriers & Inventories and Policies. Thanks to Geoff Fowler.

6. Elections to the Parochial Church Council. PCC members serve for 1-3 years and then stand down or can be re-nominated it if they wish. Due to the reduction in the number of those on the Electoral roll this has thus reduced the number of elective members required for the PCC from 12 to 9.

Two places for 3 years until 2023:

Barry Trewinnard proposed by Geoff Fowler and seconded by Sue Sadler

Rosemary Dunhill proposed by Ruth Coggan and seconded by Anne Francis

8. Receiving of the Accounts 2019 – Dawn Przybycin presented the Accounts. These can be found in the Annual Report in a summary format (pg 6). The figures showed a better out-turn than expected. Thanks to a legacy payment of £6,000 the year ended with a surplus of £6,200. Alot of lettings were lost this year which normally generate an income of £14,000. We still have to pay –

ongoing costs Parish share. In 6 months, it won’t look such a positive report. The Accounts have been independently examined by Caroline Sargeant.

Any queries with the Report please see JM or DP. Dawn wanted to thank Jane Marlow for her great help in preparing the Accounts, Paul Duke for doing the gift-aid returns and Bill Vandersteen for doing the banking. There is a good separation of duties and it works well.

GF proposed accepting the Accounts and David Chafe seconded this. All in favour.

9. Appointment of Independent Examiner of Accounts for 2020. Caroline Sargeant is willing to take on the role for another year. She was proposed by Dawn Przybycin and seconded by Ed Dines. All were in favour of her appointment for 2020.

10. Receiving of the Report for 2019 and any questions. Both the written and financial reports need to reflect each other to be acceptable to the Charity Commission. The meeting unanimously received the Report.

ED wanted to give a big vote of thanks to Brian Sadler for all his help as a member of the Buildings Committee and also as someone who is always there to help at both Churches.

– There were no questions from those at the meeting but ED proposed a question to everyone ‘How do you feel about the future?’ – The response Uncertain financially and uncertainty with the future of both building projects. There is the added uncertainty of Revd Mike leaving the Parish. ED told everyone there is always hope where there is challenge.

Geoff Fowler gave a speech and a vote of thanks to both Ed and Mike for 2019/20. Thanks to Ed for the introduction of the PMAP. This has given the Parishioners a new vision of the way forward as a Church. Thanks also to Mike as a font of knowledge and a ‘real rock’ to Geoff.

Thanks also to Sue Sadler who has shown him the way in his role as Churchwarden and he hopes the congregation support ED, the visiting clergy, BM and himself in going forward and trying to keep the Church services going.

ED asked Mike as associate minister if he wanted to say a few words - MG said we have to be flexible a nd forgiving and wants the congregation’s support as he knows his retirement is the right decision for all.

ED closed the meeting with a final prayer.

Meeting closed at 4.30pm.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of St Luke and St Mark PCC, Winchester for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of St Luke and St Mark PCC, Winchester you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of St Luke and St Mark PCC, Winchester’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of St Luke and St Mark PCC, Winchester as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
