## WELCOME 

Welcome to St. Mary’s Parochial Church Council Annual Report 2021. 

This report presents an account of progress against our _Vision 2016-2021 ‘Connecting People With God_ ’. 

It has been another unprecedented year as a result of living through a global pandemic – characterised by uncertainty, challenge and difficulty, and punctuated with pain, loss and grief.  Through it all we have again needed to put our trust in God “ _our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”_ (Psalm 46.1) 

As with last year, the usual reporting process has been significantly impacted by COVID-19, resulting in a briefer report than in previous years. 

Nevertheless, the report contains a summary of our **Vision** and **Values** , a **General Report** covering the ministry achievements and performance during the year, and the **Financial Accounts** . 

I know I speak on behalf of all the PCC in expressing my heartfelt thanks for all your support in this last year.  Whether high-profile and visible to many, or getting on quietly in the background making sure everything runs smoothly, your involvement and ministry is greatly appreciated and valued. 

Yours as ever, 


David Archer,  Rector

## OUR VISION 

**Being whole-life disciples** means being transformed from any other worldview and practice into having Jesus Christ as Lord of every aspect of life.  This is about becoming utterly dependent on the grace shown by Jesus rather than on anything gained from the world.  And it is so much more than just accumulating information about the teaching of Jesus and changing our moral behaviour! We long to see everyone fulfil their God-given potential as whole life, disciple-making disciples. 

## **UP.** 

## **Deepening our enjoyment** 

**of God** means we want to relate to God, knowing Him as He really is through the person of Jesus Christ.  Our desire is to be a church that is fully alive to God and always willing to be stretched further in our knowledge and experience of who He is, because however fantastic, powerful and wonderful we currently think God is, He is, and more! 

## **IN.** 

## **Creating vibrant Christian** 

**communities** means we will take seriously our call to be followers of Jesus, not in isolation, but together – the plural of disciple is church! We want to feel at home, so we will be intentional about growing authentic and vibrant Christian communities where we can know and be known, love and be loved, serve and be served, and where true friendships can be formed. 

## **OUT.** 

## **Committed to being a missional church** means we 

want to be intentional about going, taking the gospel beyond the walls of our building.  Empowered by God’s Holy Spirit, we will be open to be used by God to demonstrate his love to those on our doorstep and to the nations of the world.  We want to make a difference and enable others have a life changing encounter with God! 

**Fostering creative and courageous leadership** means we will actively train others for ministry that serves the needs of others.  We will place importance on developing creative and courageous Christian leaders who understand leadership to be a servant oriented, relational process whereby those who lead, under God’s leadership, using their God-given capacity, seek to influence others towards a kingdom-honouring goal.

## OUR VALUES 

## **We value the authority of the Bible** 

We believe that the Bible is the final authority in all matters of life and conduct, both individually and as a church.  Each one of us seeks to communicate its timeless message not just for information, but in a way that calls for change and which is appropriate for the recipient. _2 Timothy 3.16, James 1.25, Romans 10.13-15._ 

## **We value all people** 

We believe that the church exists first and foremost for those people who do not yet belong.  We seek to support those in and beyond our community who are in particular need.  We encourage each church member to build meaningful personal relationships with others and to bear witness to the Gospel to help them come to faith in God through Jesus Christ. _Luke 15.4-7, Luke 5.30-32, 2 Corinthians 8.7._ 

## **We value community** 

We believe the church is a family to which people belong and not a building to which people go.  It is founded on love, acceptance, forgiveness and an appreciation of the immense value of every person, no matter what their age, gender, sexuality, race or ability. _Acts 4.32, 1 Corinthians 13, Romans 12.3-8._ 

## **We value the centrality of worship** 

We believe that it is our common experience of grace that calls us together.  In response to that we offer our whole lives to God as an act of worship.  In all things we want to submit to God and be under His authority. Our corporate worship expresses our gratitude, our love, and our desire to put him first. _1 Peter 5.10, Romans 12.1, 1 Chronicles 16.28-29._ 

## **We value all-member ministry** 

We believe that every Christian is called to minister.  We believe that God has created each person to be unique and that each has a unique role to play.  The role of leaders is to serve the Body of Christ by helping each person to be released for and motivated for ministry. _Ephesians 4.7, 11-12, Matthew 20.25-28._ 

## **We value Spiritual Gifts** 

We believe that God has given everyone spiritual gifts to use.  It is our desire that all should find their gifts and discover their place to serve.  We believe that teams serving together are the best environment for gifts to be expressed for greatest fruitfulness. _1 Corinthians 12.7-30._ 

## **We value excellence** 

We believe that God has given us all the resources we need.  We understand that only God is perfect, and that our task is to do the best we can with the resources we have, taking risks in reliance on God. _Philippians 1.9-10, Matthew 19.26._ 

## **We value our place in the Body of Christ** 

We believe we are the part of the Body of Christ, the church, which has been placed by God in this place at this time.  We seek as best we can to serve the whole Body of Christ in our parish, our area and throughout the world.  We encourage everyone to be fully part of the church as defined in ‘Our Marks of Membership.’ _1 Corinthians 12.12-30._ 

## **We value generosity** 

We worship a generous God who gives good things in great abundance.  Above all, He gave us his Son Jesus, who showed us a radically different way of living, where justice is restored and the hungry fed.  We encourage all to develop the discipline of regular financial giving and commend the principle of tithing.  We recognise that some are called to more sacrificial levels of giving. _2 Corinthians 8.1-5, 1 Corinthians 16.1-2._ 

## **We value prayer** 

We desire to hear from Him and to be obedient to Him.  We recognise that nothing of lasting value will happen unless He is at work.  We see prayer as an essential part of our relationship with God, both individually and corporately and desire that every aspect of our church’s life be undergirded with prayer. _Psalm 47.2, Psalm 127.1, 1 Thessalonians 5.16-18._

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a corporate body established by the Church of England.  The PCC operates under statute law, _The Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure 1956_ .  PCC members are charity trustees.  The rules of appointment of PCC members are governed by and set out in the _Church Representation Rules 2020_ .  Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and consider election to the PCC. 

The work of the PCC is supported by working groups which meet between full meetings of the PCC.  Their deliberations are reported where necessary to the PCC for discussion and action.  A budget is prepared annually by the Treasurer after consultation with those groups which have expenditure.  This is presented to the PCC for discussion and approval before being presented to the APCM.  Any expenditure which may be proposed during the year and has not been approved within the budget has to be presented to the PCC for specific approval. 

St. Mary’s PCC met on five occasions through the year. 

## **Standing Committee** 

This is the only committee of the PCC required by law.  It comprises the Rector, Churchwardens, Treasurer and Secretary and has the power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the Council.  Other members of the PCC may be co-opted to the Standing Committee as necessary.  In light of the ongoing circumstances due to COVID-19, special thanks is due to the Standing Committee who met regularly throughout the year. 

## **Leadership Team** 

Whilst the PCC and Standing Committee are the only required formal decision making bodies, the appointment of members to a Leadership Team remains a priority for the Rector. 

At the heart of this team is the recognition that ministry leadership is based on calling and gifting.  The role of the Leadership Team is to take overall day to day responsibility for ensuring that St. Mary’s continues its progress towards the vision as set out in our _Vision 2016-2021 ‘Connecting People With God_ ’ and therefore works closely with the Rector and is accountable to the PCC.  This team will be comprised of those having overall ministry and leadership responsibility for the key dimensions of our vision: leadership, discipleship, worship, mission and fellowship. 

St. Mary’s Leadership Team comprises the following: 

Revd Dr David Archer Debbie Corrigan Bronwen Greenslade 

## **Working Groups** 

In the last year the following working groups have reported to the PCC, comprising the following: 

## Finance Team 

Revd David Archer, Anne Bolland, Barry Brown, Debbie Corrigan (Chair, Treasurer, Stewardship Secretary), Ina Elliott. 

## Mission Partners Group 

Revd David Archer (Chair), Fi Adnett, Sheila Adnett (Secretary), Kathryn Tolson, Bob Trendell, Charmaine Trendell. 

## Building Team 

Revd David Archer, Mike Adnett, David Davies (Chair), David Manning, Geoff Williams. 

## New Build Team 

Revd David Archer, Mike Adnett, David Davies, David Manning (Chair until 08/09/21).

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The PCC has the responsibility of working with the incumbent, in promoting the mission of the church in the parish – pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.  St. Mary’s mission is **to be whole-life disciples of Jesus Christ who changes lives, communities and nations.** 

The PCC has responsibility to support and develop the mission of St. Mary’s both home and overseas.  The PCC also has maintenance responsibilities for the church, ancillary buildings and churchyard. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

Our desire is to be a vibrant and growing church.  With this in mind the PCC has invested significantly in mission action planning and this report marks progress against our church vision for the period 2016-21, _Connecting People With God_ . 

Building on our previous plan, this focusses our priorities around the following goals and objectives: 

- Deepening our enjoyment of God. 

- Creating vibrant Christian communities. 

- Fostering creative and courageous leadership. 

- Preparing and adapting the church infrastructure. 

- Committed to being a missional church. 

- Being whole-life disciples. 

Each year the PCC commits to prayerfully identifying one or two goals from our vision, which we perceive to be the most pressing, or most timely, and to make these the “wildly important goals” (WIGs).  However with the unprecedented events of the COVID-19 pandemic, no WIGs were formally identified and ministry activity in 2021, as in 2020 looked dramatically different to anything that could have been imagined. 

For the much of the year the Government battled to come to terms with the massive disruption and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to the nation, which deeply affected literally every aspect of society.  Allied with further instruction and guidance from the Church of England concerning what was permitted to take place within church buildings – according to the degree of lockdown – meant that for significant periods churches were not permitted to meet physically in any setting, while at other times they could open for public worship under strict conditions including social distancing, the wearing of face coverings, no congregational singing, communion in one kind only, and no after-service hospitality. 

As a church during 2021 there have been three clear phases in terms of Sunday worship: 

- From the beginning of the year through to Pentecost, we continued with “online” Sunday services and our Zoom-based after service “Coffee, Connect, Chat”.  Easter was celebrated online for a second year in a row. 

- From Pentecost, we began offering our usual format of “in-person” Sunday services at 9.30am and 11.15am alongside our weekly “online” Sunday service.  “Coffee, Connect, Chat” ceased running. 

- From September we began majoring on “in-person” Sunday services, slowly dropping the amount and frequency of our “online” services.  A number of “in-person” Christmas services were offered, closer in format to their “pre-pandemic” nature. 

A service of midweek communion was offered whenever possible throughout the year. 

A number of observations have been drawn from the events of the last two years about new patterns of church life – attendance and engagement – which are expected to continue into 2022.  Although observed nationally, they appear to be largely valid for St. Mary’s as well.  These include: 

- Volunteer base greatly impacted, with fewer church members ready to return to previous levels of involvement or ministry; 

- “In-person” congregation numbers reduced to about 60-70% of their pre-pandemic levels of regular Sunday attendance, and anecdotally it appears frequency of attendance has further reduced.  Initial observations suggest that St. Mary’s are seeing slightly higher percentages returning.

- New faces have been appearing at Sunday services, some of whom have arrived as a result of the church being “online” and some with apparently no previous involvement in church life. 

The national and local picture is however complex and only with time will we be able to assess the longer term impacts that COVID-19 has had on church life and health. 

For reference, recent electoral roll figures are captured in the following table: 

||**2011**|**2012**|**2013**|**2014**|**2015**|**2016**|**2017**|**2018**|**2019**|**2020**|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|Electoral Roll|113|124|108|107|107|110|109|112|122|117|



In light of all this, and recognising that throughout 2021 very few of our midweek activities or ministries were able to continue, the PCC decided to focus on three areas in this ongoing “recovery” period, so that at the heart of St. Mary’s we find: 

- **Sundays** are a place of genuine encounter with God, 

- **Children and Youth ministry** is well-resourced and flourishing, 

- Every church member is given opportunity to be effectively discipled in a **Connect Group** . 

It is expected that these focus areas will need to continue well into 2022. 

Although the year has been tough in many ways, there have also been highlights.  In particular, in July we were able to welcome Revd Aidan Jones and his family to St. Mary’s where he is to serve his curacy. 

During the last year, wherever possible we have tried to enhance and promote community life and pastoral support in whatever ways we could.  This has included: encouraging membership of existing and new _Connect Groups_ ; our Pastoral Team maintaining contact with church members who are not members of a small group; sending pastoral letters to church family members; distributing Mother’s Day flowers and giving a gift to the men of the church on Father’s Day. 

In addition we have tried to maintain a missional and outwards looking focus: raising the profile of our _Readifood_ food collection point and delivery of collected items to central foodbank store in Reading town centre; supporting the work of the local _Rahab_ ministry; recommencing the physical distribution of the _Purley Parish News_ ; offering a simplified _Community Memorial Service_ and an outdoors _Remembrance Sunday Service_ at the Memorial Hall during November. 

With all the ups and downs of the year and changes to what has been permitted to take place within the church building itself, special thanks are due to our Churchwardens who have taken on a large workload, including having oversight for the smooth running of in-person Sunday services and the additional cleaning requirements resulting from the pandemic. 

The last year has been a quiet one in terms of maintenance of the buildings with the _Building Team’s_ work focussed largely on the necessary monitoring of the buildings and essential repair works.

## FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS 

## **Finance Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2021** 

## **Overview** 

The financial year 2021 ended in an overall surplus of £2,751 taking restricted and unrestricted funds together (2020 £507). Given the ongoing effect of COVID-19 on our life for large parts of 2021, this represents a positive result. Once again, we were hugely blessed during the year by the generosity of our church family. The fact that so much of our income comes from giving (97% in 2021) as well as not being dependent on income from lettings and parochial fees has once again stood us in good stead. 

The key financial position is that of general unrestricted funds. For the second time in the last five years, there was more expenditure than income receipts and the general unrestricted fund fell by £7,719 (£8,836 in 2020). This was largely a planned position. While overall unrestricted income fell by 2.5% on a like for like basis (9.5% in 2020), total unrestricted donations grew by 0.76% (they fell by 4.2% in 2020). Unrestricted expenditure was £97,555 (2020: £100,500) and was 2.93% lower than in 2020. (2020 was 8.9% higher than 2019 on a like for like basis). 

It has been another difficult year in many ways, the finances have been difficult to manage, but the emphasis we place on regular giving has enabled us to weather the storm so far.  We give thanks to God. _**God is faithful.**_ (Genesis 22:14 Jehovah Jireh; The Lord will provide). 

## **General Fund** 

## _**Receipts**_ 

Regular unrestricted and planned stewardship increased by 1.24% to £64,534 (2020 saw a decrease of 5% to £63,746).  The graph below shows the trend in regular unrestricted and planned giving (yellow line); the slow decline since 2018 has been halted and we must continue to place greater focus on this area.  The gift day in December 2021 has resulted in new regular givers, however we have also seen movements the other way due to deaths within the church family as well as those leaving the area.

Online giving continues to supplement service collections and single donations remained strong.  Income tax receipts up to October 2021 amounted to £18,629 compared to £17,654 in 2020. 

There was no income from lettings in 2021, wholly due to the closure of the church under the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.  Additionally, St. Mary’s has lost a regular letting (Brownies) which will impact in 2022. 

Net income from fees has increased in 2021 to £2,818 with the £700 of fees owed in 2020 having been received. 

Net income from the Purley Parish News shows a loss, however that was largely because subscribers were offered the opportunity to pay for a reduced two-year subscription in 2020.  86% of subscribers took up this offer.  Over the 2 years therefore there has been a small surplus.  Income from advertising has been hit as businesses were closed.  Much work will be required to grow the advertising income once more and to grow the number of subscribers which has fallen from over 700 to just under 600. 

Fund raising income was lower than 2020 due to a successful Reading Male Voice Choir event in January 2020, just ahead of the COVID-19 lockdown. 

Restricted fund total receipts in 2021 amounted to £11,427 (£11,928 in 2020).  Giving in this area was largely split between the youth cabin (£4,330), donations in memory of Eric Smith (£3,679), the youth worker (£2,642) and the building fund (£750). 

## _**Payments**_ 

The total unrestricted payments for 2021 amounted to £97,555 (2020 £100,500), 2.9% lower.  This reflects the fact that we did not hold many in-person services or events such as a mission or Alpha in the course of 2021.  Service expenses were down by a third.  Mission and outreach costs were down by 71% reflecting that there was little activity in these areas, although we did purchase bibles for year 6 at Purley Primary School for the third year. 

Our largest area of expenditure, the Parish share, continued to dominate.  It remained the same amount as 2020 due to agreement at Diocesan and Deanery levels to maintain the same amount due to COVID-19. Once again, St Mary’s paid it in full.  The agreed Diocesan parish share is reported in the accounts.  This agreed Diocesan parish share is reduced at the Deanery level to fund the Area Dean role which is seen as a shared post.  This role is performed by David Archer who requested that the difference between the gross parish share and the net parish share is retained and used to help offset the St Mary’s Curate rental costs. Designated fund accounting has therefore been actioned and a surplus of £3,935 was made on this unrestricted designated fund. 

Mission giving was £10,490 (2020 £10,030).  The PCC policy is to donate 10% of our stewardship giving to our selected mission partners.  What a privilege it is to be able to give to others from our plenty and to sow into the Lord’s work in the UK and overseas. 

Expenditure on utilities and cleaning decreased to £5,180 (2020 included costs of re-surfacing the hall floor and amounted to £7,624).  Utility costs (electricity) started to rise in October 2021 and finished the year 160% higher than at the beginning of the year. 

Repairs and maintenance costs reduced by 74% to £1,678. (2020 £6,552 which saw a sewage pump replacement alongside some costly and unplanned heating repairs). 

A significant investment of over £10,000 was made in audio visual equipment in 2021, partly funded by the restricted fund in memory of Eric Smith which also funded a new modern lectern. 

Stationery, computing, publicity, and photocopier costs were still high at £3,580.  £2,600 of this was contractual costs for the photocopier, despite little use being made of it during COVID-19.  £432 was the cost of the online financial ledger and the remainder was for Zoom, the website and publicity. 

The balance sheet reports balances on the general fund of £21,396 as at 31 December 2021, £5,935 on the designated fund and £32,170 in restricted funds.  PCC has an agreed reserves policy of retaining circa 3 months of expenditure in case of need.  We are now short of achieving that and will need to work hard to deliver a balanced budget in 2022.

## **Building Fund** 

Since 2013 we have spent over £43,000 on concept designs, professional fees, legal advice and feasibility studies. We now need to take stock and re-focus post COVID-19 to finalise the vision and to get this exciting project over the line. 

## **Future** 

The PCC has agreed a broad breakeven operational budget for 2022. 

2021 has been a challenging year but there have been ongoing glimpses of God’s favour through the generosity and financial faithfulness of our church family, particularly at the December gift day.  Our hope is that once we have fully re-grouped post pandemic, that God’s favour would continue to be on us, as we seek to grow the numbers searching for and turning towards God in our community. 

Thanks go to the banking team and to Anne Bolland for her work on the funerals register and fees, and to the independent examiner for his efforts in providing the examination of the accounts.
