## **INTRODUCTION** 

In this document the Parochial Church Council presents its annual report for the 12 months since the last APCM report.  This last year has been a remarkable one for the world, the global pandemic has had an effect on almost every sphere of society.  Chris Lee has now been with the parish for six years and continues to lead us well through these difficult times.  The Global Church has been hugely impacted, from the very top the establishment right down to the local church level.  The closure of almost every gathered church activity has led to huge shift in thinking about how to ‘do church’.  St Saviour’s has at every turn listened too and implemented the advice given by the Church of England.  We want to thank all our church members and those who have given time and service, to help support not just our church but our whole parish in these unprecedented times. 

## **1. WORSHIP** 

- 1.1  When the pandemic struck the UK and we started to see large numbers of people become infected we followed the C of E advice and quickly moved our services online.  We found that the platform known as ‘Zoom’ was the best for what we wanted as a church.  Zoom has allowed us into each other’s homes in a way that streaming did not.  We encourage our members to keep their cameras on so we can engage with each other in the best ways possible while still apart from each other.  Special thanks should go to our Church Warden Simon Jenkins in his part in running these new Zoom services.    Chris, with the support of Lauren McKenna, and the various volunteers have led services for the children and the adults.  Our junior Church runs @9:30 and our Family worship service runs @10.  Lauren has done an excellent job in reimagining junior church for online content and interaction. 

- 1.2  Our worship team lead by Grace Park and Katie Cooley have been amazing in the way they have adapted to the new environment too.  We want to give a huge thank you to all members of the worship team in their continued efforts to lead our sung worship and bless our church community.  As a church we invested in 4 new computer microphones for members of the team streaming in from their residences. 

- 1.3  We have seen growth even though we are online.  We have between 33-45 log ins to our weekly service and many people share computers when watching so we estimate that our numbers are between 50-75 on any given Sunday. One area of growth has been from overseas, with a few people joining us from different countries including, Lebanon, Japan, Germany and Brazil.  We are still thinking through the best way to serve these members and we do encourage them to think about their local church once the pandemic’s grip starts to loosen. 

- 1.4  Our Thursday morning Eucharist was stopped but has now been replaced with Tuesday Morning Prayer. This is a time for further Bible study, where passages are read and prayers spoken.

- 1.5   The Young Franciscans group has changed; we no longer have a residential branch but the main concentration is now on a dispersed group.  Chris has set up a leadership group which has oversight on this.  The YF meets every Monday to pray and learn together.  It is growing and has recently had 3 girls from Russia join. 

- 1.6.  During Lockdown Chris introduced two online church activities.  Firstly our ‘Testimony on Tuesdays’ which facilitated our members to tell their faith stories to our church.  It has led to greater understanding and intimacy within the church.  Many people have been encouraged and blessed through this online meeting.  The second initiative has been an online bible study meeting. Most recently we have been studying ‘Characters of the Old Testament.  We meet at 8pm for just over an hour, where we read scripture, discuss and pray together. 

- 1.7  Helping Hand fund.  St Saviour’s is at the heart of Wendell Park and looks to be a great source of blessing to the wider community. There are 12,000 people in the parish and due to the pandemic many have found themselves out of jobs and entering into a greater level of poverty.  Chris started up a fund to help those people in our area who are going through a difficult time.  The fund has raised thousands of pounds and we want to thank the many generous donors who have contributed to this.  See our accounts for more information. The money has come in and gone out to various sources. 

- 1.8.  Over the Christmas period Ollie Kendal and Chris in combination with Wendell Park School gave out 25 Christmas hampers for families who were struggling.  The hampers contained food for a week or so, clothes and gifts for many children.  It was a great success and the local MP Andy Slaughter showed up to help pack the hampers. 

- 1.9  James Cooley has led our outreach support project to feed the homeless in combination with Glassdoor.  Many volunteers have either cooked or served food on this.  Our church is assigned Fridays to offer this care at St Dionis Church in Parsons Green with Glassdoor. 

- 2.0   Chris has had a real progression in his public profile with many news articles and media appearances as well as his global social media following.  Chris released his book ‘The OMG effect” this year and though the pandemic did not help with book sales, he was registered as a number 1 bestseller under Christian literature on amazon at one point.  We look to support his global exploits while understanding his rootedness at our church.  We have grown due to this and as a church continue to seek to understand the best way to welcome people who may come to us.

## **2. WORK WITH CHILDREN AND FAMILIES** 

## **Junior Church Report - March 2021** 

Since the last APCM in October 2020, there have been a few developments to the children’s ministry at St Saviour’s Church. Due to the new lockdown coming into effect in the UK we have reverted to our online teaching via zoom. We have combined the two age groups to allow for interaction between all children in attendance. Junior church has had an increase of children attending the online sessions regularly. We have an average attendance of 6 children. 

## Planning and implementing junior church sessions 

We have formalised our routine which the children have adapted to well and been continually developing the planning format to reflect best practice. We have also used a variety of sources to inform the planning process to create an engaging, age-appropriate curriculum for the children in our care. 

Example of LTP (long term planning): Kids Church 2021

Example of STP (short term planning): 


## Training 

In November, we held 4 training sessions for our junior church team of 6 volunteers. Titles included: Children’s Spirituality, Storytelling, Practical Guidance and Safeguarding. Within these sessions we had opportunities to discuss the theory behind child development and how this links with their spiritual journey. We talked about different ways of engaging children in stories and how to come up with ideas and facilitate learning on Sundays. 

## Special Events 

We have provided some special events for children since the last APCM. These included ADVENTure, a Covid-19 safe outdoor activity where children could explore the nativity story. We also put on our very first nativity production: children submitted videos and voiceovers that retold the story. This was collated and played for an audience via zoom. Huge thanks to Ellie for organising and collating all the videos.

## **3. PCC ANNUAL REPORT 2020-2021** 

## Background 

St. Saviour’s Church is situated by Wendell Park, Cobbold Road, London W12 9LN. It is part of the Diocese of London within the Church of England. 

## St. Saviour’s Church PCC 

Ex Officio: 

Chair: Rev. Chris Lee Churchwardens: Johnny Wright and Simon Jenkins Treasurer: Richard Casilli Secretary: Lauren-Anne McKenna Deanery Synod: Astrid Wilson Elected: Roey Jenkins Lizzie Kendal Katie Sayles** 

The process of appointment of members of the PCC conforms to Church Representation Rules. All members must be on the electoral roll 

The PCC is very well supported by Judaline Goon, our highly valued Parish Secretary and Administrator. 

## 3.1 Aims and activities 

These remain little changed from 2019-2020 

Under the leadership of the Vicar, the Reverend Chris Lee, the PCC is responsible for delivering the whole mission of the Church- pastoral, evangelical, social and ecumenicaland for the care and upkeep of the Church itself. 

The PCC is responsible for making decisions on matters of general concern and importance in the Parish including how the funds of the Church are to be both generated and spent. 

8 



Registered Charity Number: 1177239 

The PCC is committed to attracting as many people as possible to worship at our Church and to become part of the parish community at St. Saviour’s. The PCC will listen, understand and implement God’s mission in our Parish under the guiding hand of the Vicar. We want to see our Parish change for the better through an ongoing programme of activities: 

- Being a welcoming church 

- Worship and prayer 

- Bible-reading and preaching 

- Provision of Pastoral care 

- Missionary and outreach 

- Love and care for the Vicar and his young family 

- Love and care for the congregations 

- Love and care for our local Community 

- Neighbourly agreements with The Upper Room and Willow Tree Nursery School 

- Working with Glass Doors and, increasingly, with Wendell Park School 

- Additional commercial activity, primarily through letting the Lower Hall, to other organisations 

- Continuing management and maintenance of the fabric of the Church including the new garden. 

- Financial management 

Achievement and delivery 

The past year has been significantly affected by the Coronavirus Pandemic 

This will undoubtedly continue into 2021 although we can all pray that the current signs of easement are maintained. 

## 3.2 Worship and Prayer 

The PCC wishes to offer a full range of Services and other activities over the weeks throughout the year that will be engaging, spiritually fulfilling and beneficial for our congregations. The Church is also fully prepared to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of life- baptisms, weddings and anniversaries and to share mourning at funeral and memorial services. 

We believe that Prayer is a key part of the essence of the Church. This was significantly enhanced by the regular contributions of our “Young Franciscans”, who have moved on but who were a real blessing to St. Saviour’s during their time with us. To a degree, the introduction of a popular weekly Prayer Meeting has compensated for their departure. 

## 3.3 Mission and Evangelism 

Although considerably affected by the Pandemic,, the Church has succeeded in being active in the local community through a series of events, which are always open to the Parish but  conducted not in the Church but by Zoom 

9 



Registered Charity Number: 1177239 

- Weekly Prayer meetings every Tuesday 

- Thursday Bible studies for both sexes 

- A full Christmas programme: Nine Lessons& Carols, Christingle, and Christmas Day Morning 

- A very full Easter Week with six major activities- 2 Talks;; Good Friday and Easter Sunday Services. 

- An annual “Light” Party in the autumn 

- Working with Glass Doors and The Upper Room 

The Vicar has been very media active. This has encompassed numerous TV and press interviews, a lot of coverage on “You Tube” and even the publication of a popular book, called “The OMG effect”. 

## 3.4 The Church itself 

Apart from a number of relatively minor repairs expertly managed by Judaline, there have been two significant pieces of work completed in/around the Church. The garden has had a make-over and looks very good - many thanks to Astrid Wlson for her generous support for this project. 

The other has the Church floor, which needed repair work done to the parquet tiles was then varnished throughout and this has been done very well – it really enhances the look of the interior. 

In summary, this has been another good year for St. Saviour’s. We continue to grow numerically (and we welcome all newcomers).We continue to grow spiritually (lots of praying and good preaching) and we continue to enjoy each other’s company more and more. 

Thanks be to God.

## **4. CHURCHWARDEN’S REPORT** 

## **4.1 The church fabric** 

As will be seen from almost every part of this year’s APCM Annual Report, the Covid-19 pandemic has had (and continues to have) a profound effect on the church. 

As far as the management and maintenance of the church itself is concerned, the way we conduct almost all of our activities within and outside the building, and the actual use of the various spaces – the church sanctuary, the Upper Room and the Willow Tree School – has been affected by the pandemic, creating many limitations and restrictions. At the same time, the decreased use of most of the building has reduced the amount of maintenance needed. For instance, of the eight mandatory checks we have to carry out 

10 



Registered Charity Number: 1177239 

during the year, only three have needed to be done, and the other five will be completed in the next few months. 

But the church has more than survived; it has actually flourished. We have seen new people join us from various parts of the world, new activities during the week, and three completed projects, which enhance the church itself: 

**a) Church garden** – the church garden has been completely revamped and is now a very handsome addition to the look of St Saviour’s. Many thanks are due to Astrid Wilson for her considerable financial support for the new garden. 

**b) Floor of the church** – the second project is the floor of the church. This was a ‘needs-must’ situation. Chris came to work one morning and found patches of the floor tiles had lifted completely and inexplicably. The damage has been repaired and the main areas of the floor revarnished. The floor now looks really good. 

**c) Organ loft** – a third, less important task was a substantial clear out of the organ loft. 

We have two future projects that we may be able to start on during the coming year. The first is a repair task – some of the glass in the big windows in the Lower Hall extending into the Upper Room need attention. The other task is a new development, creating a coffee bar near the main entrance of the church. Both of these will be quite expensive, but will be of long-term value to our church. 

## **4.2  Responding to lockdown** 

In common with all churches in the UK and around the world, St Saviour’s faced an unprecedented challenge on 23 March 2020 when we had to close our doors in keeping with the coronavirus lockdown. We responded by moving the public life of the church online, with services, Junior Church and midweek events all taking place online, using Zoom, the live videoconferencing service. 

Our first Sunday service on Zoom took place on 27 March, with everyone joining from their homes, and every service since then has been online. The pattern we adopted was a single Sunday service at 10am, with an online communion service, to which everyone was invited to bring their own bread and wine, on the third Sunday of the month. Over the course of the year, we’ve consistently seen 40-45 connections for our Zoom services, accounting for a congregation of about 50 people. 

At the same time, we upgraded our communications by sending out our weekly newsletter via the mail platform Mailchimp. The weekly emails included links to all the different Zoom services and meetings, as well as news of upcoming events. New people joined the mailing list throughout the year, which currently numbers 198 people. We also encouraged people to join our WhatsApp group, SSWP Connect, for chat, news, prayer, and Zoom links. The group currently has 65 participants.

Registered Charity Number: 1177239 

One of the most unexpected and rewarding aspects of doing online church has been the number of people who have joined us for weekly worship from places as far apart as Lebanon, Brazil, Japan, France, New Zealand, Germany, the USA and Australia. Many people joined because they were already followers of Chris, our Vicar, on Instagram, and were attracted to St Saviour’s by his open, welcoming approach to faith. 

We’re hugely grateful to our worship team, who have led us with hymns, contemporary worship songs, and reflection pieces every week during the pandemic from their own homes. Without their musical gifts and dedication (not to mention their willingness to sing solo from their bedrooms or kitchens!) our year online would have felt very different. Also, a very big thank you to everyone who has taken part in our regular readings and prayers, and for adapting so well to the changed conditions. We’re similarly grateful to all those who have preached for us, including Bishop Graham, who joined us for our Christmas Day service. 

Most of all, we’re thankful for the positive, pastoral and inspiring leadership of our Vicar, Chris, for leading us in such a flexible and innovative way through a very challenging time. We feel very blessed by God in Chris’s ministry, and for the way he has enabled the community of St Saviour’s to continue in worship and expand in mission during the pandemic. 

Alongside Sunday worship, at different times, we have used Zoom for almost everything else we do: Junior Church; a pub quiz immediately after the Sunday service; weekly Bible studies; a series of Tuesday testimonies; a youth club for Primary age children; weekday morning and evening prayer with the Young Franciscans; PCC meetings; and our much delayed 2020 APCM, which was originally scheduled for 29 March, but took place when the Diocese allowed for the legality of meetings on Zoom on 18 October. 

Lockdown in England was relaxed over the summer, but the PCC decided to delay reopening the church building for worship until Sunday 20 September. From that date, the Sunday service remained available on Zoom, but worship was led from the church building, with a warm (and socially distanced) welcome to everyone who was able to join us there. We produced a guidelines document, ‘Back to Church Briefing’, which detailed how we were meeting together in a safe and responsible way. 

We continued with this hybrid form of service – in the church building and on Zoom – for six weeks, with a single Sunday service at 10am, until England went into a second lockdown on 5 November. Our service for Remembrance Sunday, on 8 November, was again exclusively on Zoom. 

We are currently waiting to see how the new easing of lockdown progresses before deciding on how to proceed with Sunday services and midweek meetings. 

## **4.3  Parish Secretary and Church Administrator**

Registered Charity Number: 1177239 

We are always grateful to Judaline Goon, our Parish Secretary and Church Administrator for all she does to help with the smooth and efficient running of St Saviour’s. Her administrative skills, good sense, and ability to keep a team of volunteers motivated and involved is hugely appreciated by everyone – not least the churchwardens. This past year has been especially challenging, and we would like to say a heartfelt thank you to Judaline for her considerable help in seeing us through it. 

## _**Johnny Wright and Simon Jenkins Churchwardens, St Saviour’s, Wendell Park**_ 

## **5. REPORT ON THE ELECTORAL ROLL** 

The electoral roll is like a membership list for St Saviour’s and carries with it the entitlement to vote at the APCM. 

This year, due to meeting almost exclusively online, there has been no annual event to sign up new members to the electoral roll, nor provisional publication of a list on the church notice board as required by the Church of England representation rules. However as members can join at any time, anyone who has been worshipping with St Saviour’s for 6 months, including online services, or who lives in the parish, is welcome to contact me on Deborah.down@btinternet.com to be added to the roll. We do at present have a very dispersed membership with some of those worshipping with us being in Japan, South Korea, Lebanon, USA, Germany and elsewhere. 

Last year there were 81 members and this year it is 76 due to 5 members moving away (including the Ormondroyds and those leaving the Young Franciscan house). Of the 76, 44 live in the parish and 32 outside the parish. 

With a lot of members moving in the last year, if this applies to you it would be appreciated if you could let me know your current address so that I can update the electoral roll.

## **6. TREASURER’S REPORT FOR FINANCIAL YEAR END 31ST DECEMBER 2020** 

Following on from a net surplus in 2019 of approximately £18,000, the church had a more challenging year in 2020 due to Covid-19, resulting in the net surplus of £1,177. The most impacted areas were the hall lettings (2020: £49,781, 2019: £61,538) and the church lettings (2020: £2,088, 2019: £7,686) due to the restrictions in place and inability to gather during the year. Overall, an increase in cash reserves was still achieved, which at the end of December saw bank accounts holding an accumulative balance of £96,794 (2019: £84,399). This was achieved with the helpful support and generous giving from the St Saviours congregation and includes contributions to the Helping Hand Fund. 

The Helping Hand Fund was introduced during 2020 in response to Covid-19 causing hardships amongst the community, as well as people who need and request support. The fund received significant contributions during the year, with donations amounting to £8,816. Thus far the fund has already aided community members in need during the year, with more plans in 2021 on ways the church can help those requiring assistance. 

Usual fundraising/mission related community events were generally unable to be held during 2020 due to Covid-19. The church looks to continue on with events during 2021 where possible. 

With church services moving online, and the church being utilised less, more time and thought was put into necessary repairs and improvements which could be made to the building. Therefore, spending was up this year at £119,995 (2019: £112,810). The largest of these endeavours was the complete landscaping of the front garden, which was financially supported by extremely generous donations within our congregation. 

Our thanks for the continued assistance from our Independent Examiner Tony Simkin; to Veronica Tuke for managing our Payroll, Gift Aid and Stewardship; to Andrew Allen for his help with the banking; our Junior Church leader, Lauren McKenna and Parish Administrator, Judaline Goon. Finally, we acknowledge the support of Reverend Chris Lee, the Churchwardens, the PCC and the Diocese during the year. 

In 2021, St Saviours intends to get back to the usual planned church activities throughout the year when possible with the continued growing of our congregation and community/online outreach. 

The PCC and I would like to express our gratitude to all members of the congregation who generously give their time, money and support throughout the year, without which the church would not be what it is today. Thank you.

## **7. THE DEANERY SYNOD REPORT** 

As is true of so many situations, Synod meetings were greatly affected by the pandemic. Three meetings were cancelled and Synod did not meet until December 3. This meeting was on Zoom. 

The meeting was opened by the Rev'd Cameron Collington, our new Area Dean.  He began by reading Jeremiah 31.35 and commented on the many social changes since the last meeting, which was on November 20 2019.  He referred to what was then the imminent General Election and departure of the UK from the EU as well as the pandemic. 

The chair was then taken by the Bishop of Kensington for the main business of the meeting.  This was an outline of the mission of the Church in the next decade in a programme called Capital Vision 2030.  Bishop Graham said that the over-arching aim of the project was to bring an awareness of the love of Christ to every Londoner.  He then presented the many aspects and issues involved in this project. 

He said that, basically, he saw the Parish as the crucial factor in this ambitious project. This was then developed into three categories:  Confident Disciples; Compassionate Communities and Creative Growth.  Other important areas that he touched on were: how to appeal to the young; how to make churches safe and how to promote cultural diversity. 

The next meeting was on February 10 of this year.  Once again it was chaired by the Rev'd Cameron Collington. 

The first item on the agenda was a financial report by Steve Purcell.  He said that 80% of the Common Fund had been achieved. 

The main topic of the evening was Crosslight/St Paul's Centre on Debt Counselling.  Crosslight is a charity which gives advice to individuals who are in debt.  Three speakers then described the work that Crosslight does and illustrated this with case studies. They said that low income families - for example hospitality workers - had been hardest hit by Covid. 

The examples that they gave were quite horrifying, with potential eviction a very real reality.  They are hoping to set up a 'hub' in Westfield and they are looking for volunteers.  I understand that training takes about six hours online.  This seems a very worthwhile project and anyone interested please contact me.

## **8. THE UPPER ROOM** 

The past year has been an exceptionally challenging one for The Upper Room – as it has for everyone. 

Within six months of the excitement of the opening of the new mezzanine floor, we found ourselves in the world of lockdowns. During the Spring of 2020 we kept open for as long as we possibly could, serving takeaway meals outside to protect our staff, volunteers and clients. 

The mild weather helped us in this regard, but eventually we were instructed in no uncertain terms by the authorities that we had to close. This we did with a heavy heart. 

As the year progressed and restrictions eased, we were able to resume serving meals, again with takeaways only, and pre-booked slots. The third lockdown then prevented us from reopening in January. At the time of writing we are planning to reopen the site on a very restricted basis at the beginning of March. 

Our other projects have been able to operate to a greater or lesser extent during the year. UR4Driving has continued with theory test training, and has been extremely inventive in providing online workshops; however, the cancellation of practical tests is causing a significant backlog. 

UR4Jobs was also able to operate a remote service, supplemented by the recruitment of our new case worker. 

Probably our busiest offering has been UR4Counselling, which has seen a significant increase in demand. This is not surprising given the mental health pressures that the pandemic has caused. 

It has been a delicate balancing act between the strong desire felt by everyone to keep offering our services, and the imperative to protect all those involved with The Upper Room. We have a Risk & Audit Committee that meets regularly to consider the issues involved, and to ensure that we are acting safely and responsibly. 

I would like to acknowledge the dedication and commitment of our staff in this most challenging of years, and the support – financial, moral and spiritual – that we receive from the St Saviour’s community. 

It seems inevitable that, whilst the immediate impact of the pandemic will hope-fully ease over the coming year, the longer-term consequences are likely to be devastating for large swathes of society, and our services are going to be more crucial than ever.
