PARISH LIFE The last year has been another difficult one with the continuation of mask wearing and other restrictions including a fijrther lockdown. The Archdeaconry Days in January 1 (k16 took pla on zoom as did the Churches Together 'Prayer for Christian Unitl on January 20. The Deanery 'ServE of Light. on January 31 led by the Revd Bob Key and They Kingdom CorrE' as another zoom event. A very interesting World Day of Prdyer led by the Methodist minister the Revd Angela Hoare also took pla on zoorn in March. Senils at Emmanuel Church restsrted on Easter Sunday and we held an outdoor service in June when Donna Pilgrim preached. Another outdoor service took pla on the church lawns on 26 September led by Revd Julie Birkett which VRS attended by a donkey and his handler to mark the end of the summer season for the donkeys on the beach and to remember our commission as a thurch to care for the donkey boys of the parish. We have continued to be gratefijl for the technology that has allowed online serViS prodUd by Christ Church and many people have found the online daily praye[5 led by Revd Totn Webber and others to be very helpfvl. Unft)rtunately not all our congregation were able to access the online ServiS. Phil Scott our church administrator. continued to prixduce Connected which gave useful infonnation about services, prayer suggestions. arttdes submitted by members of the ngregatIOn and so much more. Thanks are due to several people including Dina Parker who delivered Connected to our church members vtho were unable to access it online. Thanks are also due to those like Sheila Judson and Sean Sheridan who helped with shopping and collecting prescriptions when required. and those who simply kept in touch by phone. A gardening gn)up meet and work on the last Friday of each month. At our belated APCM on 6 June Sheila Passey was elected church warden with Pat Blake agreeing to continue as church warden" however on 1 October Pat Blake who had been a brilliant church warden for four and a half years Stepped down and Keith Bury took over. Carl held an Open Gardens earty in September and it was so enjoyable to sit in the sun and talk to our church family without wearing masks. The Beacon and other groups had to stop meeting in the church halls for long periods, though New Dawn was able to continue their counselling servi. Technology made it possible for our Lrfe Groups to continue by using zoom and two PCC meetings also had to follow a similar pattem: there were even zoom meetings of the Deanery Synod. In September the Beacon and other groups began to restart and Home Groups began to meet albeit as smaller groups to allow for distancing. Our Curate Larissa Trust was ordained in September and the ser4ice held online due to restrictions as most people couldn't attend. In November Revd Julie Birkett was linSed as a Prebendary at Wells Cathedral and now has her own stall there. Winter Warmth restarted at the end of October at Emmanuel on Sunday evenings. We were again able to hold Carols in the Square in December and several passers- by stopped to sing along with us" two mounted poli women were also observed listening nearby. It vras really good finish off the year with our candle lit Carol Servi. Page 2
TREASURER'S REPORT 2021 continued with Covid-19, the pandemic and lockdo which did affect many areas of church lrfe including hall lettings. social events and fijndraising. However our giving was increased by over £3.000. although tax recovered on giving was down by nearfy £600. No fete or bazaar was held but we did hold three coffee momings at the end of the year and raised an amazing £778 which together with (x)ffee money totalled £903. A new Care Fund was initiated by Revd Tom Webber and attracted £223.25. Sheila Judson helped Hayden and Wendy Taylor and kindly donated the money she reIVed to Emmanuel totalling £650.98, with some going to the Care Fund and some to Gifts and Legacies. The Children's Society box opening raised £264.67 which was the most we have raised in several years. We donated 12 boxes of goods for Afghanistan through the Bamabas Yood-gives. programme and collected £245 towards the cost of shipping the goods. Cart Evans held an Open Garden which raised £190. and the Thursday Friendship Group continued to donate towards their use of the hall. Because of the pandemic Tom encouraged me to daim a Govemment grant through North Somerset Council which I did (twice). and we were fortune enough to re1ve £8071.53. Our giving to Missions and Charities which is shown on page 6 indicates that we continued to be mindful of our financial situation and gave £600 to Interserve for the BLISS project and £300 to Lffe Bookshop. We gtve Christian's Against Poverty £50 per month and the extra £115 is the money raised by the congregation tOrdS their clients, Christmas hampers. and supported Locking Deanery Mission with £75. An £85 collection taken at Graham Parkerf5 fijneral was donated to Weston-super-mare Sea Cadets. We have been very pleased to support Donna Pilgrim through her Readerfs Training course and she managed to obtain second hand robes costing £125, which look really good on her. Expenditure induded £1.186.80 for a temporary repair to the spirelet. before the major repair was undertaken which vms covered by insuran(E as we only paid our eXsS of £350. Repair to the underground rables chewed by MI ds £156, a radiator leak in church and all radiators vented was £50 and a new hand dryer installed in the Disabled Toilet was £141.94. Minor glazing repairs cost £144 and a repair to the car park wall was £240. The kitchen hob boil required attention at £72 as did the dishwasher at £115.96: two air pump hot jugs were purchased for church refreshments at £81.31. Our outside red notice board was updated at a cost of £232 which induded having it taken down, taken to the company updating it, being collected and put up again. Tv walls were repainted in New Davm's meeb'ng room and we paid for one costing £140. We did commit to a 3 year fLxed pri contract with EDF for our gas and electricity last summer, which l thought long and hard about but with the current state of affairs it was probabty vnrth doing. I continue to be grateful to KeFth Bury who (xjunts arKI banks our thurch collections, and also to Mary Passey and Pat Blake who assist him as necessary. We have paid for the servicing of our gas boilers and fire extinguishers. periodic inspection and testing of the fire alann system and emergency lights. had our lightning conductor checked and had no outstanding bills at the end of the year. As I have said before the upkeep of Emmanuel will always be with us as will our outreach and we need to search our hearts and consider our giving to enable us to achieve a good outcotne for t)oth. It is very simple to give online and I would be happy to advise anyone about this. If you pay income tax please do let me know and I can redaim the tax (25p in the £) for Emmanuel. this is so wothvthile. Page 3
