Vicar’s Report 2025
I commend this annual report to you and would like to thank all who have contributed to the report and the work of the parish over the last year. It should be noted that the report refers to activities of the church during 2024.
Since our last APCM we have seen both blessings and sadness as a church.
As I reflect on our mission and growth, it was a delight to see two of our congregation confirmed last Pentecost and to witness the joy of that new faith. We will be running a confirmation group this year so do get in touch if you are interested. We have also run a short pilgrim course to carry on exploring faith for graduates from last year’s alpha and seen the establishment of the open doors coffee morning and a new daytime homegroup established.
Church life though this year has also seen real sadness, two members of our PCC died unexpectedly, and we also lost some of our more elderly congregation. We thank God for all of them and pray for their families at this time. Both Richard and Julia were stalwarts of the church who individually contributed a huge amount to our church life and it will take time to properly cover all that they were doing. I am hugely thankful to those who have stepped up already.
Our registers have been a real mix, baptisms and weddings down considerably, but funerals up a great deal on the year before. Our congregation numbers have stabilised, and we continue to see a few new people joining us on Sundays. The Worship for Everyone service now has an established and regular congregation and we have seen a real growth in families especially at special services for Christmas and Easter. Our work with schools has continued and developed and I have taken an assembly at Parkhill for the first time since moving here and I look forward to working with them in future. The SIAMS inspection at St Andrew’s School produced a good result and I am thankful to our governors for their support with this.
Outreach to the estate has paused, but now more houses have been built we need to look to beginning once more the delivery of welcome packs and some dedicated prayer walks. Do be praying for the estate and if you are able to give some time to deliver welcome packs come and chat to me. It would be lovely to develop some regular contact with the estate as it develops.
Our finances are slowly improving. Thanks to some very generous donations we have been able to meet our target for reserves early on our 5 year plan, so we are now on a much more secure footing should we have large expenses with the building or other financial shocks. We now need to focus much more on how we meet our Parish Share on an ongoing basis. We continue to rely on the generosity of other churches and the wider diocese for about half the cost of our ministry, which is not sustainable in the longer term. I am grateful to all those who give regularly to our parish. If you aren’t already on the parish giving scheme maybe this is something you could consider as a way of supporting our regular income?
Lastly my thanks to our Reader, wardens, PCC, administrator and all those who volunteer to keep the church running by helping in so many different ways. As a church community we rely on each other to keep the mission and ministry of St Andrew’s alive and vibrant for the benefit of our whole parish.

Churchwarden’s Report
The church warden report usually starts with the phrase I had a look back at what was written last year, so I did, in the hope of inspiration or guidance.
I feel that there is very little to add when you see the number of reports from different groups and people that we are truly blessed in our achievements.
Our church has weathered a storm over the last year with the loss of some of our long-standing members. It is at times like this that we become very aware of how much of an impact to the life of St Andrews that these individuals had. The need to find replacements for so many tasks was met and we were also happy to encourage some newer congregation members to join in with some of these roles, for which we are grateful. Thanks also to those who stepped up to cover some of the church admin tasks that were required during our administrators sick leave. We are grateful for her return to work and the work she undertakes to support Jo and this church.
As we celebrate our 150[th] anniversary and we look back on all that we have accomplished in following the footprints of others before us we also pause and consider how we too can support our church in the future.
Our outreach and social activities continue to be well supported and with the opportunity we have in opening our doors in celebration of our 150[th] year, we hope to connect with many more people in our parish to show the welcome and support our church can offer.
Our thanks go to everyone who, by giving their time and by sharing their skills ensure that St Andrew's remains a special church to both worship and socialise in and where a welcome is always present.
Thank you to the PCC for their wisdom and suggestions, to Clive who amazes many of us with his dedication to our finances. To all those who have led Home Groups, our Bereavement Group, Open Doors, Prayer Team, Tots group. Those who visit sick and take Holy Communion to those who have not been able to attend church. Those who provide the streaming of our church services for those unable to join us in worship.
The group of individuals who support our church in numerous other ways not limited to the readers, those who make and serve refreshments after our services, sides people, clean the church, visit families enquiring about Baptisms.
Those who organise social activities and those who can provide or bake cakes at every time of asking these are all important pieces of our Church life. Many of you may be unseen but your work does not go un-noticed - our grateful thanks to you all.
As I stand down as church warden, I would also like to thank my fellow warden Nick for his support over the last three years. I also would like to thank our spouses Tracey and Steve for their patience and support to us both.
Thank you to Jo for her work over the past year. The groundwork that Jo undertook when she joined us, is now beginning to take momentum. So, thank you for your leadership and support, and friendship.
Rebecca & Nick

Electoral Roll Numbers 2025
This year saw the complete revision of the electoral roll. This process happens every six years meaning that all those on the old roll had to re apply if they wished to be on this year’s roll. Last year we had 77 people on the roll. Following the revision this has dropped to 64, of whom 34 were resident in the parish and 30 were non resident. No one declared that they are on the roll of 2 parishes.
As this is a complete revision there is no formal recording of the reasons people are no longer on the roll, sadly there have been a few bereavements and a few have not filled in paperwork. Thank you to all those who have taken the time to do this and welcome to those who are new to St Andrew’s. The revision of the roll has also been a good opportunity to update our GDPR consent, if you haven’t yet filled in a GDPR form please do so as this enables us to manage our contacts more effectively.
Thanks to Dale Bennett for his management of the roll at the start of the year and to Julie Crow for her help in compiling the new roll, which is available for inspection at the back of church.
Rev Jo Joyce on behalf of Dale Bennett, Electoral Roll Officer
Treasurer’s Finance Report for 2024
You will find the 2024-year end accounts attached to this document. These accounts have been independently checked. If you have any questions on them, please contact me. I would like to thank Co-Treasurer Jackie, Julie our Administrator, the Finance Committee and the PCC for their help during the year.
I would also like to thank you the congregation for your generous support in another difficult year. Your support, fund raising events, generous donations and legacies mean that two years into our five-year plan we have achieved our reserve target. We have exceeded our annual parish share payment plan for the first two years. I am confident that our parish share contribution will also be higher than planned this year.
Although we are making good progress in our five-year plan, we are still 43% below our required level of parish share which means that we are being subsidised by other parishes and Diocesan reserves.
By building our reserves we are better prepared to maintain the building and to reach out to families in our growing parish
.
A significant element of our income is gift aid tax refund. I would like to pay tribute to the late Richard Marr for the work he did on stewardship. He is very much missed. If you are a taxpayer and would like to join a stewardship scheme or make a donation, please consider gift aid. One such scheme is the Parish Giving Scheme. By joining this scheme you are able to raise a monthly direct debit which goes to the Diocese. Each month we receive the total of the contributions and also the tax refunded on those contributions. Receiving this tax monthly helps our cashflow. For information on this please contact me or Jo or a churchwarden. Thank you.

Buildings & Fabric Report
The past twelve months has not been as busy as last year, although we have continued to undertake some projects to maintain our church building as well as ongoing maintenance work.
Major Donation – We received an anonymous donation this year to help with the upkeep of the church, especially aimed at major works that may become necessary in the future. This has secured us with a building reserve for the future.
Rewiring of the screens and sound system – After years of problems with the screens in church not being reliable and regularly freezing or “dropping out” during the service, it was decided to replace the wiring that was installed in 1992. This has seen an immediate improvement in the stability of the screens. Since the installation we have not had any problems.
Card Reader – As we all move away from carrying cash to being more card dependant, the PCC agreed to the purchase of a card reader to be placed at the back of church. Since its installation over £1,000 has been paid via the card machine, which demonstrates its benefit. The reader is linked to the Sum-Up company which many High Street retailers use and is a secure system.
There are instructions near the reader on how to use it and if you have any questions please speak to me.
New Lectern Microphone – The microphones on the lectern needed replacing due to their age and wiring. The new microphone is now picking up readers voices more clearly and the wiring has been upgraded.
Painting – The area of damp near the main entrance has been resolved and repainted.
Church Cleaners – People always comment on how clean the church looks when they visit, and it doesn’t happen by magic! Thank you to Di Wilson, Nick and Tracy Tooby, Becky Crowe, & Pat Sullivan. Thank you to Jackie Lynch, Jean Richards and Phil and Denise Davies, who have stood down this year after many years of cleaning. We would really like at least another two cleaners to join us. You will need to clean the downstairs of the church once every 5/6 weeks. Please speak to Nick if you are interested.
Next Year – We are due to have our Quinquennial Inspection. This is when our Architect will inspect the fabric of the church and identify any issues that need resolving immediately, in the short term or within the next 5 years.
Finally, thank you to all who have assisted this year in working parties to tidy the churchyard and undertaking ongoing maintenance in and around the church. Also, those who have spent time sorting through cupboards, to clear out the clutter that gets collected. I’d especially like to thank Steve and Rebecca Martin, and Di Wilson for their help.
Thank you for those who provide flowers for the Altar, especially Julia McNaney and Jo Freeman, who oversees the rota and church flowers when there are gaps.

Deanery Synod report 2024-2025
The Deanery Synod is a time for churches in a locality to come together and share their work, their vision and their joys and difficulties. Deanery Synods are convened by the Rural Dean or the Joint Lay Chair of the Deanery Synod. It consists of all clergy licensed to a benefice within the deanery, plus elected lay members. They are formal meetings for conversation, discussion and decision making on matters relating to mission and ministry. The deanery synod can raise or support motions that can be taken to the diocesan synod for consideration in the life of the whole diocese. Typically, Deanery meetings begin over refreshments. During this informal but important time, we chat, get to know each other, find out informally about the work, concerns and hopes of other parishes in the deanery which promotes cooperation. The meeting then opens formally with a reading and prayers. The host church presents news and information from their parish, including their Blessings, Breakthroughs and Battles. Three more churches in the diocese then present a short review under the same headings. This is followed by prayers for the parishes, usually in small groups.
This year we have had two meetings, the first at St. Christopher's Church Winsford Avenue, Coventry on 11 June 2024. At this meeting, St. Andrews Eastern Green was one of the churches to make a presentation. The second meeting took place at St.Nicholas Church Kenilworth on 14 November 2024. These two meetings were joint meetings of the Kenilworth and Coventry South deaneries. Environmental issues often feature on the agenda. In June and November, for example, there was advice on how to reduce our energy footprint.
In November a change of format was announced. Coventry and Kenilworth would meet separately for the next two meetings and then a decision would be made whether to continue that way or to resume joint meetings.
.A meeting of the Coventry deanery synod should have taken place on 20 March to discuss the deanery plan but was cancelled at the last minute and. as yet has not been rearranged.
If anyone would like more details about the two meetings that took place, or any other questions about the deanery synod, I will be pleased to try and answer them.

Safeguarding
St Andrew’s takes safeguarding seriously. It is at the heart of all of our activities. I am hugely grateful to Julia McNaney for all that she did to update our policies and procedures and bring the dashboard (our online safeguarding management system) up to date. We are in the process of safely recruiting the next safeguarding officers for the parish. In the meantime you can bring any concerns to me or to the diocesan safeguarding team. Safeguarding in the Church of England has rightly become much more stringent in recent years and we work hard to ensure all our activities are properly risk assessed and that all our volunteers are checked and trained as appropriate, as a result if you do volunteer for a role in church please expect to do safeguarding checks and training as needed.

Children, young people and schools
Our ministry with children and families is one of our key priorities as a church. As we are looking to grow new young disciples we need to be aware that for the church to continue into the future we must be actively seeking to support and minister to young people and all those in the age groups largely missing from church life under 50. As a result of this we try to have a range of activities suitable for children and their families. The Worship for Everyone service whilst not exclusively for families has provided a more creative worship space where all ages can worship alongside each other. We will also be looking to consider children and young people in the activities we plan as a church and to build on the established events we already run. If you are interested in working with me to develop more activities for this age group then do get in touch. Beyond our worshipping life the Tots Group team do an excellent job of welcoming the parents and carers of very young children every fortnight in term time.
In our schools work we have people welcoming parents coming to watch school collective worship with a cup of tea, which has proven to be another good way of meeting families. I continue to take regular collective worship in St Andrew’s, and the junior school retain links with us, visiting at Christmas for their school Christmas service. We are looking for a new Foundation governor for the infant school. Please do consider if this is something you could help with. Its an excellent way to continue to support the school and build our links with them.
Rev Jo Joyce
Baptisms and Thanksgivings
The baptism team comprises of 4 trained team members - Jayne Nye, Lindsey Rawlings, Tracy Tooby and Susan Barnes. All members carry out baptism visits and verge at baptism services. Thank you to our wonderful baptism team for giving up their time for this role which provides support to baptism families, the vicar and the parish administrator.
2024 saw the baptism of 10 children and 1 adult at St Andrew’s. There was 1 confirmation and no thanksgiving services. So far for 2025 we have booked baptism services for 2 children, with further enquiries for baptisms underway.
The baptism process is that when we receive an initial enquiry for a baptism, the family is requested to attend any service to collect the baptism literature. This for some people may be their first time inside St. Andrew’s Church. Once the baptism literature has been collected, a baptism visit by one of the baptism visitors can then be arranged to obtain all of the information needed for the baptism. Families are requested to attend church services on 3 occasions before the baptism. Baptism preparation takes place prior to the baptism, inviting all the parents and godparents for those children that are due to be baptised that month. This explains the baptism service and gives families the opportunity to ask any questions.
If you have any questions about baptism services please speak to the vicar, the parish administrator or one of the baptism team.

Prayer Team Report
Prayer underpins all that we are and all that we do at St Andrew’s. The Prayer Team prays regularly with thanksgiving for the church: its family, its leadership and its outreach to the parish and beyond. Once a month we meet to pray together for its needs, its welfare and future, for each other and for the wider concerns of the community, the city, the country and the world. There is so much need for prayer.
Specific personal requests can be entered in the prayer book, placed at the back of the church, which was established in memory of the late Lesley Lee, much loved and respected former leader of the Team. Requests entered in the book are held in prayer by the Prayer Team and at selected services. Members of the Team are always ready to pray with people about any specific needs they might have, either for themselves or for somebody else. There has been a focus on this at the 10am Holy Communion service on the 3[rd] Sunday of each month.
As with everything, we put the future of the Prayer Team in the hands of the Lord and the Holy Spirit. We would like to see an increase in the profile of prayer in the church and seek initiatives to this end. And we are always very pleased to welcome to the Team new members, who might feel called to a ministry of prayer.

Small Groups
Small groups are a way to grow our faith and understanding together and are a safe space to explore the Bible , our discipleship and mission. They are also a space to share fellowship and to pray together; we learn so much from one another and are blessed and enriched by the variety of insights offered.
During the year there have been two groups meeting. The groups have looked at range of things including SHAPE- Our Shape for God’ s service, Meals in the Bible, The Lord’s Prayer and the Fruits of the Spirit. Exploring together familiar passages from the Bible, alongside less familiar books and passages, is a great way of growing our faith and encouraging us in our discipleship.
Recently a new day time group was started and they have been looking at the themes of Who is Jesus and Why did Jesus die?
If you would like to be part of a Small Group, or want to know more, please speak with me.
Sue Masters Discipleship Coordinator
Bereavement Group
Our Bereavement Group is for those recently bereaved to meet to share with others who have been through a similar experience. The Group has continued to meet on a fortnightly basis throughout the year and offers a safe space to talk with others and share bereavement journey.
People who have had a funeral at church or for whom Jo has conducted services are invited and the group is advertised in local community information sheets. The group meets on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month from 10.30 am to 12.00 noon , in Church and everyone is welcome.
9
The team of Lynnette, Sara, Jeremy, and myself work together to offer this time to group members and we aim to show the love of God in the interactions we have with those who come.
The feedback we get from those who attend is that the group is a great help as people face the changes and challenges that bereavement can bring.
Sue Masters
Open Doors
In Spring 2024 we started Open Doors which is a monthly coffee Drop-in, held in the Church. As people moved on from Bereavement Group, we wanted to offer a space to meet for coffee without the bereavement focus. Many have attended regularly and some have become volunteers setting up and preparing refreshments.
This is a good opportunity to have the church open and offers a social space to anyone who wants to drop in. The group is open to everyone and people from church and wider community do drop in in.
Open doors is on the first Tuesday of the month and runs from 10.00am to 12.00 noon. Why not drop in and have a coffee or tea and a chat?
Sue Masters
Children’s Society Report 2024
It has been another positive year for St Andrews Church in the work we do to support the Children’s Society. The box collection this year raised £740.34, which is slightly down on last year’s total of £761.93. We have 30 people who donate through the box scheme. We had 3 people who withdrew over this period.
This year we held a Christingle Service in January, which raised a further donation of £40 for the charity.
My thanks to all who continue to support the Children’s Society and if you are interested in having a box, please let me know.

5) Decision to allow Readers Licensed to the Parish to sit on the PCC
This is a change under the new rules that came into effect in 2020. Previously, licensed readers would automatically sit on the PCC, the annual meeting is now asked to approve this for the year to come. Jo asked that the meeting approve this to enable Sue Masters to be able to sit on PCC.
Proposed by: Susan Barnes Seconded by: Rita Muir
Decision: unanimously accepted by all in attendance.
6) Decision to allow PCC members to retire at the end of one year
Not applicable.
7) Election of Parochial Church Council (PCC)
As the electoral roll is under 100, this allows us 9 PCC members.
Nominated to the PCC this year are:
Clive Murden Diane Wilson Richard Marr Julia McNaney Jeremy Thomas Lindsey Rawlings Jo Freeman Paul Crowe
No further nominations were received so they were all duly elected.
The vicar thanked all PCC members for standing this year.
The vicar also advised that Trevor Hill is standing down this year after 20 years’ service. A huge thank you is owed to Trevor for all that he has done, especially his work on the buildings committee.
8) Treasurers Report
Clive Murden provided a detailed report on the church accounts for 2023.
The conclusion to the report was as follows:
We ended the year with a surplus of £7,866 compared to a loss of £670 last year. This surplus allowed us to start and build a reserve.
A reserve is necessary to meet the unexpected. Some parishes were able to fall back on their reserves when lockdown hit. We had no reserves, consequently, our ability to pay our full parish share was hit hard. We are currently paying about half of our full share. This means that we are being subsidised by the diocese and other parishes.
12
A reserve also gives us confidence to be able to reach out to our ever-expanding parish.
To show our determination to resolve this situation, we presented a 5-year plan to the deanery treasurer. The first year of this plan was 2023. There were two targets: to pay £32,000 parish share and to have a reserve of £3,500. We met the first target and exceeded the second and we have stated that we will increase the parish share target for this year by £1,000.
We still have a mountain to climb but last year we left base camp and started our ascent and I have every confidence that with your help we will continue to do so.
If you would like to contribute to the church on a regular basis, could I ask you to consider giving through the Parish Giving Scheme which allows us to claim tax refunds monthly?
Clive was thanked for all the hard work that he puts into these accounts on behalf of St Andrew’s.
9) Nomination of Auditors
It was agreed that Messrs Harrison, Beale and Owen be re-appointed as Auditors for 2021.
Proposed by: Nick Tooby Seconded by: Rebecca Martin
Decision: All in favour to continue with current auditors
10) Reports
