## 2020 Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council of Kimberley and Nuthall ## **Aim and purposes** Kimberley and Nuthall Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, the Reverend Canon Barbara Holbrook, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the Parish Churches of Holy Trinity, Kimberley and St. Patrick’s, Nuthall and their associated Church Hall. ## **Objectives and activities** Our PCC is committed to promoting our community, both as a faith community and within the wider community within which we live and work. As such, we work to enable access to our church buildings by the community around us, for both public worship and private prayer as well as through open days and activities which invite the wider community into our buildings. In addition, we actively encourage our members to participate in activities within our wider community, and to seek to grow as disciples in their journey of faith. The PCC maintains an overview of worship in the parish and participates in decisions about service formats and focus. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and teaching and sacrament. When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through: - Worship and prayer; learning about the gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus. - Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish. - Mission and outreach work. To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Churches and the Church Hall. The PCC has full regard for the House of Bishops’ Guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults and acts accordingly. ## **Achievements and performance** ## **Worship and prayer** The PCC wishes to offer a range of services on Sundays and provision of space for private prayer during the week that our community find both encouraging in their discipleship and spiritually fulfilling. 2021 has been a challenging year, as for the early part of the year we were unable to meet for worship in person. We have endeavored to provide for the spirituality of our congregation and the wider community in the following ways: 1 - Daily reflections emailed to our church congregation and the existing wider ‘reflections’ group until July. - Weekly mailings with both news and teaching / prayer content. - Additional mailings / distributions to all on our electoral roll (plus other contacts) for Lent / Easter and Christmas. - Weekly ‘After Church Coffee’ zoom meetings until July. - St. Patrick’s church open for private prayer for an hour each. - ‘In person’ services from April in each church, when it was allowable and safe to do so. - On-line video reflections for Holy Week. Video services until July, then a recording of the live worship from St. Patrick’s (or Holy Trinity on occasion) uploaded to our website. - Video School Assemblies to all primary schools in the parish until we were able to return to live assemblies. We returned to live worship in April, with the format of the service mirroring that which had been used for on-line videos. Initially we have been running one service in each church each Sunday. We plan to add to the number of services as resources allow, with a priority being provision of Family Church to encourage families to worship together with us. All are welcome to attend our regular services. The Electoral Roll numbers can are shown below. ||Number on Electoral
Roll|Non-residents|_Number on previous_
_Electoral Roll_| |---|---|---|---| |Holy Trinity|40|2|_44_| |St. Patrick’s|78|8|_79_| |Total|118|10|_123_| The average weekly attendance figure in October was 29 across both churches. We have celebrated 2 baptisms and 1 wedding and held 3 funerals in our church this year, with a further 28 at the Crematorium. We held a Lent Study Group on Zoom. ## **Deanery Synod** Two members of the PCC sit on the Deanery Synod. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church. Over the year, Deanery Synod meetings have encouraged a wider reflection on the role of the Church. ## **The Church Hall** St Patrick’s church hall was closed until September this year. The boiler was replaced before reopening. The community facilities in Holy Trinity continued to be used by Noah’s Ark playgroup throughout the year. ## **Pastoral care** Pastoral care takes place informally by members of the congregation and through the Tea Club which continues to keep monthly contact with its members. ## **Mission and evangelism** 2 Helping those in need is a demonstration of our faith. In December we collected donations for The Great Notts Toy Appeal, and Christingle donations to the Children’s Society. We continue to maintain our status as Fair-Trade Churches and as an Eco-Congregation, encouraging our concern for the Environment. Our parish magazine continues to be produced and distributed to contacts within the community. Our web page is a key presence this year, helping people to contact us and understand our values and the faith which underlies them, as well as providing a platform for sharing our services and reflections, new sheets and magazines. By using a local Café, our Men’s Breakfast and Chat and Craft groups were able to resume meeting in June, while our Tea Club returned to the Church Hall in October, and Mothers’ Union meetings restarted in November ## **Ecumenical relationships** There are three other church groups within the area; Nuthall Methodist Church and Kimberley Neighbourhood Church and the Risen Life Church. Although there is no formal ecumenical group there are informal links between congregation members. We have worked together on the production of Christmas and Easter posters. ## **Financial review** Details are shown in the Financial Statements. The planned giving through envelopes and banker's orders and the use of Gift Aid envelopes increased over previous years, which was good to see. Both income and expenditure were generally up on 2021, although the figures are skewed by both the outstanding reordering work on Holy Trinity and the sale of Holy Trinity Church Hall land in 2020. This makes it difficult to draw any clear conclusions to our ongoing financial position, but we are facing some challenges as we emerge from the pandemic. This year, we were unable to pay our diocesan parish share in full. This largely provides the stipends and housing for the clergy. Net movement in funds was overall negative, as we paid the balance for the Holy Trinity Re-ordering work. Our thanks to Jason for all his work in careful management of our cashflow. ## **Reserves policy** It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance in our current account which equates to at least three months' unrestricted payments. This is equivalent to £15,000. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. The balance of the free reserves at the year-end was below this, but as mentioned above there is was some expected exceptional expenditure this year. ## **Volunteers** We would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our churches the lively and vibrant communities they are. In particular we want to mention our churchwardens Mark Dack, Graham Trowbridge and Meryl Lambton who work so hard on our behalf. ## **Structure, governance and management** 3 The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent, churchwardens, and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church, with 50% of the elected members being from each of the two churches. All those who attend our services / members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. The full PCC met six times during the year. Our average level of attendance was impacted by the need to hold our meetings virtually, which affected the ability of some members to attend. ## **Administrative information** St. Patrick’s Church is situated on Kimberley Road, Nuthall. Holy Trinity Church is situated on Eastwood Road, Kimberley. They are part of the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham within the Church of England.
