They have both helped and guided him enormously. Terry is happy to continue in his role for another year. Victoria, however, has very understandably decided to step down as she begins her new position as head teacher at Saint John’s School. PW thanked Victoria for her wonderful service to all of us at St. Luke’s during her time as warden, as well as for her support of him personally as our minister. Some tokens of our appreciation were given both to Victoria and her family and to Terry. Victoria said how much she had enjoyed the opportunity of getting to know the church family better as warden, as well as enjoying her weekly meetings with Patrick and Terry. (She also wished to note her apology to Simon Barton for the error regarding the church hall report in the APCM booklet.) PW explained that St. Luke’s would run with a single churchwarden for a one-year period until our 2022 APCM and that we would plan to appoint two churchwardens again at that point. There was therefore one written nomination for churchwarden to serve St Luke’s in the year ahead. **Terry H** , being proposed by Jenny Sykes and seconded by Linda P, was duly and unanimously elected as churchwarden. ## **Report of Trustees – St Luke and St John Ecclesiastical Charity (St Luke’s Church Hall)** Simon B, on behalf of the Hall Trustees (namely PW, the churchwardens, Margaret B, and Simon himself) had prepared a written report, which was accepted by the meeting – proposed by Jonathan Chestney, seconded by Chris S. PW thanked Simon B (Treasurer) and Margaret B (Chairman) for their continued efforts in managing the Church Hall as a charity. Sylvia L (Bookings Manager) and Lesley T (Facilities Manager) were also thanked for their work in bringing business back in again following recent lockdowns. ## **Any Other Business** Terry thanked PW for his leadership and creativity in navigating St. Luke’s through changing Covid regulations, new services, and online and technological challenges, whilst jugging all the demands of family life. Terry also thanked Louise (with some flowers) for the important part she has played in the life of St. Luke’s by supporting PW in his role. Page 2 St Luke’s Church, Cheltenham APCM Report 2022 ## ANNUAL MEETINGS **Minutes of the ANNUAL PAROCHIAL CHURCH MEETING held at St. Luke’s Church on Sunday 18th April 2021 (following the Meeting of the Parishioners)** Chaired by Revd Patrick Wheaton (PW). ## **1. Apologies for absence received** : Brian F, Vaughan K, Sheila L, Peter and Linda R, Meg R, Stephen and Rachel S. ## **2. Approval of minutes of meeting held on Sunday 18[th] October 2020** : Upon proposal by Peter B, seconded by Simon B, the minutes were accepted by all as a true record. ## **3. Matters arising** : None **4. Elections:** - **PCC:** Hazel B and Linda P stood down after their second terms (total of 6 years’ service) and PW thanked them for their contribution to PCC over all these years. Both are already involved in other areas of church life and will continue to serve St. Luke’s in different ways in the year ahead. - Two written nominations were received for new PCC members to replace Hazel and Linda. **Christine L** was proposed by Sarah H and seconded by Robert B for 3 years (first term). **Victoria B** was proposed by Jenny S and seconded by Linda P for 3 years (first term). _Victoria was elected as a new PCC member despite having served on PCC over the past two years as churchwarden because wardens join PCC as ex-officio members so are not elected as PCC members in the usual way. Victoria therefore now begins her first three years as a PCC member._ - In addition, one written nomination was received for an existing PCC member to serve a second term of office. **Jenny S** was proposed by Terry H and seconded by Catherine M for 3 years (second term). Christine, Victoria, and Jenny were all duly approved and elected. - **Deanery Synod** : Following their election last year, Peter B and Juliette M will continue their three-year terms as our Deanery Synod representatives. Subject to PCC approval, we also intend to co-opt Carla T as our third Deanery Synod representative (for the remaining two years) at our next PCC meeting. This appointment will also make Carla a PCC member. - **Independent Examiner** : Sally C was unanimously appointed and confirmed as Independent Examiner for another year upon proposal by Peter B, seconded by Robert B. ## **5. Reports:** Page 3 St Luke’s Church, Cheltenham APCM Report 2022 These were proposed en bloc by Kit S, seconded by Carla T, and were approved by all. ## **Financial statements of the PCC, including adoption of accounts** See the written report, which contains all details of our income and expenditure. Victoria B proposed, and Jonathan C seconded, the adoption of this year’s accounts. All were in favour. Jonathan summarised our financial position as follows: Regular giving has increased significantly, which is great news. This also leads to increased gift aid. Loose collection giving has decreased because of the pandemic. However, our running costs have decreased for the same reason. The majority of our expenditure has been for the South Gallery work. Thanks to Robert B, who has done a fantastic job in managing paid car parking – bringing financial benefit to the church as well as providing a benefit to those in the community. Linda R continues to support Jonathan in making gift aid claims, and Peter R helps to keep the resources finances running smoothly. Simon N has over many years done the banking of our funds. Jonathan expressed his thanks to all three. Thanks were also given to Simon and Heather B for their work in supporting Traidcraft over many years. Our separate Traidcraft account has now been closed, but St. Luke’s will continue to source fairly traded supplies. After a difficult year, Jonathan gave thanks for the financial gifts of all the church family. Our generous contributions will be used for God’s work in the parish as well as being shared across the world via our mission giving. PW thanked Jonathan for being a wonderful servant of our church community due to 1) his financial acumen – keeping on top of our finances and explaining them clearly both to PCC and, on occasion, to the whole church, and 2) his consistent focus on Christ-centred stewardship – always keeping good stewardship of our resources at the forefront of decisions. ## **Minister’s report** PW described the change from where we were when launching our Foundations appeal in 2019 (lots of activity happening, and excitement about our future with a full-time minister) to everything stopping early in 2020. However, despite the enforced ending of many of our weekly activities, our foundations in Christ have remained. Our roots have been immovable and, from those, our church life has continued, and new things have emerged. We have prioritised in-person worship and introduced a permanent midweek communion service, as well as a service for families in the church hall. Worship under Covid restrictions has been a combination of delight and duty. Many are engaging with our Daily Bible Reading on YouTube, with around 40-45 individual accounts regularly viewing these videos. They have been shared locally and even internationally, and different church members have participated in making them. This is certainly a positive initiative which has emerged from the pandemic. Our phone tree system has led to deeper connections being made amongst church members, and our Wednesday communion service has been a beautiful and powerful example of Christian commitment from some of the oldest in our church family. Page 4 St Luke’s Church, Cheltenham APCM Report 2022 Allan and Carla have been a great blessing to us as ministry trainees, and the Footsteps initiative has brought an engagement with local people within our parish which we would never have planned back in 2019. Very few churches would have launched a giving campaign in the midst of a pandemic and received a positive response, but St. Luke’s members responded with huge generosity. PW has been our minister for five years now and looks ahead to the next five years with excitement. He issued an open invitation to all to consider and feed back to him what we think God’s priorities are for us in the coming years. PW suggested five priorities for the year ahead: - 1) Continuing that which is already well rooted – our inclusivity, commitment to Bible teaching, and our local vision. - 2) Reconnecting our church family within the context of government guidelines after this long period of restrictions to our in-person fellowship. - 3) Focusing on the younger generation, who have particularly suffered the effects of lockdowns, and working particularly to inspire growth and life in faith amongst our younger church members. PW suggested a possible younger person’s advocate for PCC. He also gave thanks that young people’s groups were now allowed to resume, and that Allan and Jo B would be leading these until the summer. Our next short course will focus on growing the faith of younger people. We also want to retain our strong involvement with children at Saint John’s School. - 4) Being local in mission, both through invitations to the local community to our services and events, and through collaboration/partnership with the community. PW explained two such possible partnerships, one concerning children with special needs, the other involving a coffee van business. We also want to continue our commitment to social action through the YMCA, and to environmental action through the eco church initiative. - 5) Completing our St. John’s chapel building work so that these rooms can be used both by the church family and by other community groups. In the coming year, Catherine M will take on the role of parish safeguarding officer and Marion B will take on oversight of our pastoral care, undertaking training with the Diocese and building on our phone tree connections in person. Catherine takes over her role from Sarah H and Valerie N. PW thanked Sarah for her service as children’s safeguarding officer over the past couple of years, then gave a particular vote of thanks to Valerie (a gift was to be delivered to her after the meeting) for her very many years of Christian love, care, support, and nurture of our church family members – as well as for her excellent grasp of relevant guidelines. PW invited questions. Catherine M requested a vote of thanks to Stephen L and the rest of the ‘tech team’ for their dedication and commitment in filming and live streaming services over the past year. Kathleen Y asked about when ‘Toddlers’ might be able to restart and stressed the need for this service from parents of young children within the local community. Howard M suggested a celebration of 21 years of our toddler group when the group restarts. PW responded that there was certainly enthusiasm for restarting this activity but that it would need to be done differently under our continued Covid restrictions and would take careful planning. ## **6. Any other business** None. ## **7. Closing prayer** PW ended the meeting in prayer, reminding us that our faith rests in our new birth through Christ.

No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me…. As the Father has love me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love. If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: love each other as I have loved you.’_ (John 15 verses 4 & 9-12) It was the theme of hope which ran through my words last year. For this year, it is love. As Jesus outlined to his disciples amidst his last evening with them, love is a characteristic of the fruitful Christian life. Receiving the love of Jesus is the essence of being alive in him. From this, flows loving one another. I’d like to mark out 5 ways I have seen love as a cornerstone of our church community over the last year. Love of worship. Meeting together to worship has been a marker of our life together throughout the pandemic, and this has continued over the last year. There has been a willingness to adapt to new service times. It has been a delight to see the positive reception of our new midweek Communion service. The 8am continues to draw a committed congregation. Our 10am service has seen new leaders and an exciting breadth of musical participants. All through this is, I believe, the valuing of integrity of heart over perfection of delivery. Love of relationships. As above, meeting together is highly valued at St Luke’s. Coming out of restricted gatherings has made this more obvious. Getting to know each other again, and perhaps for the first time in some instances, has been important. Fellowship after services has been obvious, but also through attendance at Connect and then markedly so at our recent Lent course. Furthermore, whilst it might lack a little certainty of direction for the future, Thursday Community Coffee has been another place where we can meet with each other and the community. Love for each other. This might sound similar to relationships, however, what I refer to here is the manner in which people at St Luke’s seek to look after one another. Marion Burke’s new role as our Pastoral assistant has been vital in this over the last 9 months. She has brought wonderful coordination and deep care to how we look after each other. I know people are hugely appreciative and touched by the efforts she goes to. Whilst Marion has a team of helpers, there is beyond this the general level of day-to-day support for those who are ‘in need’ that runs throughout St Luke’s. Love for the Bible. Through our teaching at services, midweek daily Bible readings, and also expressed at the Lent Course and Women’s Bible Focus, there is a desire to know more of the Bible, and a willingness to sit under the authority of God’s word. Obedience, love, and remaining in Jesus are intertwined throughout our reading above. Whether we have been Christians for decades, steeped in Bible teaching, recently feeling our hearts awakened, or exploring for the first time, eagerness for knowing the Bible is a great sign of spiritual health. Love for Jesus Christ. The right place to both start, and finish, I believe. Christian communities are often passionate about the Bible, worship, relationships and care. Sometimes these things can even become a distraction from Jesus. I rejoice because when I look at St Luke’s I believe I see a love for Jesus as the focal point from which other attributes flow. So, rooted in the love of Jesus Christ, we are built up in him together as that love flows over, swirling around our church and into the community. Looking ahead, I pray we see both church and community flourish under the love of our Father in heaven. This report endeavours simply to give a snapshot of life at St Luke’s. Please do not read it as exhaustive. Rather, I believe it grants an overview of how God has loved and watched over us. Keeping us healthily embedded within Jesus Christ, and setting foundations for where He will bring growth. Page 7 St Luke’s Church, Cheltenham APCM Report 2022 ## **ST LUKE’S CHURCHWARDENS’ REPORT** ## **TERRY H** The past year has seen many reasons for us to be thankful to the Lord for His kindness. We have managed to come through the restrictions to worship imposed as a result of covid, with increased numbers at all three of our services, a growing outreach to our community, a sound financial position and further progress with our buildings programme. We now regularly see around 120 people attending St Luke’s services every week. Numbers at the 10.00am service exceed 100 on occasion and it is so encouraging to see many new faces and so many people putting themselves forward in willingness to serve. The outdoor services continue to be a valuable opportunity for public worship, witness and proclamation of the gospel. Increasing numbers from the local area are joining these. The Christmas Carol Service was attended by 200 people – over double the number of the previous year. We also saw 160 attend our Easter Sunday service – an increase over 2021. It has been wonderful to see community engagement grow further over the past year. Great, also to see the Footsteps team growing in number – offering friendship and personal invitations to church service and events. Likewise, the introduction of community coffee - every Thursday – has supported our Outreach. Please continue to pray for Patrick and his family, in their ministry at St Luke’s, that Patrick will continue to proclaim the gospel faithfully and to lead us in serving God, each other and those around us. We have much to be grateful for at St Luke’s – let us approach the next year in that spirit of gratitude to God, for His mercy and generosity to us. Page 8 St Luke’s Church, Cheltenham APCM Report 2022 ## **DISCIPLES OF JESUS** ## **SUNDAY & MIDWEEK SERVICES** ## **PATRICK WHEATON** The commitment to meeting together in worship is one of the hallmarks of St Luke’s. We now have established pattern of 3 services each week. These are 8am and 10am Sunday then 11am on Wednesday. It seems that each now has its own congregation, with only minor overlap. The same teaching is followed across the services, and there is a sense of genuine fellowship amongst each congregation. Usual attendance is 12-15 at 8am, 60-70 adults and 10 children at 10am and 15-20 at the 11am. So, our broad weekly attendance is 100 adults and 10 children. On the one hand this is generally where we were before the pandemic. On the other, we have a much wider fringe of less regular worshippers, so our overall church community is larger. Each of our services provide an atmosphere where regulars worship, but also the visitor can engage, explore and find welcome. We are grateful to all those who ensure our weekly pattern of worship runs smoothly; stewards and coffee servers; musicians, readers & prayers; children’s volunteers; sacristan & AV team; as well as preachers and leaders. ## **WEEKLY BIBLE READINGS** ## **PATRICK WHEATON** For much of the year we continued with our daily Bible readings, video recorded and uploaded to YouTube. In regard to content these principally covered Exodus and John’s gospel. As John came to a conclusion, we ere led into Advent and looked at the book of Ruth together in the daily reading booklet ‘Finding hope under Bethlehem skies.’ It was always encouraging to know that people engaged regularly with the daily reading videos. They were an excellent method to encourage Bible reading, and keep us connected during periods of lockdown and isolation. The decision was made at Christmas 2021 to end the daily videos. In truth, there is only a certain amount of time in a week, and as society has reopened, furthering the return of other demands, these have had to be prioritised. That said, it is important to hold the lessons of our daily Bible readings. These are; the general importance of regular Bible reading; the encouragement of engaging together with the same Bible passages; and the need for support and structure to attain this. Together, these lessons need to be implemented in the life of St Luke’s elsewhere. ## **SHORT COURSES** ## **PATRICK WHEATON** We have run a variety of Short Courses during the year. These have been, Christianity Explored, Galatians, The Marriage Preparation Course and our Lent Course. These have varied in size, from just two couples for Marriage Preparation to some 25 who have attended the Lent Course. Formats have ranged across formal Bible study, video resources and personal testimony. Together, these courses have shown a number of things. First, the power of the Bible to inform, guide and transform personal discipleship whatever stage of faith we are at. Second, the importance of meeting together in a less structured setting than worship services. Third, the impact of sharing personal stories and testimony of the ups and downs of faith. Together, the PCC, Vicar ad warden are discerning the right means to see these important elements flourish in the future at St Luke’s. Page 9 St Luke’s Church, Cheltenham APCM Report 2022 ## **CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLE GROUPS** ## **PATRICK WHEATON** Together Allan and Jo provided great continuity and foundation stones to growth in respect of children and youth ministry during 2021. The youth service in July 2021 was a notable highlight where our young people took a lead in planning and delivering the Sunday 10am service. Both older and younger groups have covered the same material as the adults. There are good relationships amongst the older children, and growing continuity of attendance with the younger ones. Up until Christmas 2021 there was an established core to our ministry that laid some wonderful gospel seeds for the future. With a mixture of delight and sadness the new year saw both the Baird and Griffiths families move on from St Luke’s. Since then, it has been harder to develop that critical core from which to develop ministry to our younger disciples. Separately, but connected, it has been great to have Collective Worship restarted and in-person at Saint John’s. We also see and larger number of children of creche age with us on Sunday mornings. At our PCC day in February 2022, it was acknowledged that ministry to children must be a focus for St Luke’s in the coming months and years. I ask you to pray for young people and their families as they continue to adapt to life after lockdowns. Also, please pray for us as a church to discern how we can appropriately resource and encourage discipleship and evangelism to children and young people in the parish. ## **MINSTERS IN TRAINING** ## **PATRICK WHEATON** Allan & Carla have been a wonderful gift to St Luke’s over the last year. Allan was with us until December 2021, at which point the whole family moved to Western Australia here Allan has begun his ordained ministry. Earlier, he, along with his wife Jo, made the kind offer of overseeing our children and youth work when such groups were able to restart in summer term 2021. Furthermore, Allan contributed in both leading and preaching at the midweek 11am service. It was so exciting to see Allan ordained in autumn 2021 and then head off to Australia for his first post and an encouraging testimony to how God has used the trainee scheme here at St Luke’s to prepare individuals for the next stage of ministry. Cara has continued to explore various ministry opportunities beyond St Luke’s over the last year. Principally, she is now approaching the final stages of the selection process for pioneer ministry in the Church of England. Pioneer ministers and ordained posts, but with a focus on bringing the gospel of Jesus to those outside of established patterns of church. I’m sure we can all agree this would suit Carla’s instincts and giftings very well. In the meantime, she has continued to grow and contribute to St Luke’s through both leading and preaching at Sunday services, and supporting the work of Community Coffee and Footsteps. ## **CARE HOME MINISTRY** ## **ERNIE H.** Because of Covid it’s been another year of stop start regards taking communions to both Oakhaven and Thirlestaine Park care homes; And as I write both are still in lockdown with only essential visitors allowed. However, we keep in regular contact and continue to pray for the time when we can once again take communion to residents of both homes once a month. Page 10 St Luke’s Church, Cheltenham APCM Report 2022 ## **LOVING ONE ANOTHER** ## **FLOWER BUNCH** ## **CATHERINE B.** We have 10 members in our team who work hard throughout the year (except during Lent) to make beautiful flower arrangements in teams of 2. For Harvest, Christmas and Easter flower arrangements, we meet in a group of 5 – 6. We are very fortunate to have Sylvia L. who joins us for these 3 festivals to help with extra arrangements, especially creating the lovely window sill arrangements. ## **CHURCH GROUNDS** ## **HAZEL B.** The church grounds continue to be well used and appreciated as well as providing diverse habitats and landscapes. Our pattern of leaving some areas of lawn unmown in the summer has once again enabled a variety of wild flowers to emerge, including the pyramidal orchids, and the spring bulbs provided delightful early colour. In June we held a wildlife spotting event for the congregation which gave an insight into how many different species can be found in this relatively small area. A new venture this winter was to install 7 nesting boxes in the trees around the church (many thanks to those who made and donated them), and we hope these will have been put to good use. In addition, a rowan tree in commemoration of The Queen's platinum jubilee has been planted. I would like to thank all those who have been part of the mowing rota this year and others who have helped with raking leaves and general maintenance. All these efforts are much appreciated. ## **PASTORAL CARE MARION B.** I was commissioned as Pastoral Care Co-ordinator for St Luke’s last November after taking a training course run by the Diocese of Gloucester earlier in the year. I’m very grateful for all the support I have had in taking on this role and for all the love and care shown to others in and beyond our church family as we all seek to “Love one another” as part of our Vision and Values at St Luke’s. Here’s a few examples of what has been happening this year: - Started having coffee and a time of fellowship after the Midweek communion service once a month (first Wednesday of the month). - Delivered Christmas gift bags to those who have been physically unable to return to church. We also took plants and cards to some who have had a particularly difficult year. - Visiting and keeping in touch with the housebound and those who are ill, in hospital or awaiting treatment and keeping the prayer requests up to date with varied content. - Gave a handmade Advent Calendar for the Anna Chaplaincy coordinator to give to Oakhaven Care Home, filled with ideas for different activities and Christmas readings, poems and carols, which they loved. (Anna Chaplaincy is an organisation which encourages spiritual care for older people which has a local branch which we are linked in with). Page 11 St Luke’s Church, Cheltenham APCM Report 2022 ## **LOCAL IN MISSION** ## **FOOTSTEPS** ## **CARLA T.** I am delighted that Footsteps has become a firmly established part of St Luke's outreach. I'm very grateful to Sarah H for driving the initiative forward in the Autumn and the Christmas season when I was limited with my health. An already growing team continued building connections with people we had met before, and also introducing themselves to new faces. More recently, we have been out armed with invitations to Easter Services and 'Save the Date' flyers (great conversation starters) ahead of Platinum Jubilee celebrations on 5th June. We continue to largely receive a friendly welcome on the doorstep, but trust that whatever our reception, every encounter is breathed on by the Holy Spirit. It has been encouraging to see some of the local community attending services and Easter was no different, as the evident momentum builds. It is also very appreciated that incrementally more of our St Luke's family have been willing to step out of their comfort zones to join us on the streets. This is not only beneficial for growing in one's own personal discipleship / evangelism, but enables our team to cover more ground. If anybody would like to join us, please talk to Sarah or myself! ## **SAINT JOHN’S SCHOOL** ## **VICTORIA B** Saint John's saw the arrival of a new Headteacher in April 2021 and, with schools opening up after another lockdown from January to March that year, it was both an exciting and challenging Summer Term. In those last twelve months, staff and pupils at the school have adapted to the changes as well as welcoming new initiatives as the school has responded to life after/with the pandemic. Victoria has loved getting to know the children, staff, parents and governors and has begun to build on the strong foundations in place already. Maintaining the desire to be a school "where we all flourish" has been fundamental and the family atmosphere has continued, alongside a drive to move things forward after the demands of the pandemic. The support of Patrick Wheaton each week in collective worship and in regular meetings as a foundation governor has ensured that the Christian ethos has been at the forefront of any strategic thinking. Please do pray for the children who are coping amazingly well considering how disrupted their school experience has been, for parents who are still responding to the impact of Covid, for governors and leaders as they make decisions and for the teachers who have worked tirelessly to provide a wonderful school experience for each of our precious pupils at Saint John's. We want to continue to work alongside St Luke's to provide an education that not just focuses on the academic and personal but also on the moral and spiritual development of each of the school community. Page 12 St Luke’s Church, Cheltenham APCM Report 2022 ## **STRUCTURED TO GROW** ## **DEANERY SYNOD** ## **PETER B** The Deanery Synod met 3 times in 2021, twice on zoom and once in person. The strategic reshaping of the deanery and distribution of clergy and other resources are in issue so as to reflect the changing population distributions in the town. The process is continuing after the return of the mapping questionnaires and a strategic planning group is now leading this process, which had been interrupted by Covid 19. In addition, there were presentations on the role of Foundation Fellows of the University of Gloucestershire and upon the ‘Living in Love and Faith’ course. ## **ELECTORAL ROLL** ## **CATHERINE M** The annual review of the Electoral Roll has been conducted and the current roll, which has been approved by the PCC, reflects the church membership as closely as possible. The revised list is on display in the church. Two names required to be removed, but applications for membership have been received from an additional 14 regular attenders, so there is a net increase of 10 on the roll. The number on the roll is therefore now 114 compared with 102 in 2021. ## **SAFEGUARDING** ## **CATHERINE M** The Gloucester Diocese has been emphasizing the Church of England’s ambition to make a paradigm shift in its relationship with safeguarding, in the shadow of a number of difficult and tragic cases in recent history. Their statement declares that this requires recognition that safeguarding needs to move away from something that is in some respects external / imposed upon the Church, to something that flows from within the soul of the Church. Safeguarding is at the centre of our faith, in our practice, in our worship, in our praying, and in our believing. To make this a reality, all those who are in roles with a responsibility for children and vulnerable adults require a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) certificate, and to undertake CofE Safeguarding training, most of which is done online. For St Luke’s, a number of new DBS certificates were required in the past year for PCC members, those leading the children’s and young people’s groups, and for those in pastoral roles. Some others have recently had DBS certificates renewed, and the requirement for renewal has recently been reduced from 5 years to 3, meaning that there are more now requiring renewal imminently. Those required to do two and in some cases three modules of Safeguarding training have begun to complete these, and a record of these is kept by the Parish Safeguarding Officer, as required by the Diocese Safeguarding team. On taking up the role of Parish Safeguarding Officer this year, Catherine M has also undertaken the Leadership Safeguarding course. The church’s Safeguarding Policy was reviewed by the PCC as is required annually, and is accessible on the noticeboard at the back of church and via a link on the home page of St Luke’s website. A list of names and contact details of those to contact in case of any concerns over safeguarding in the church is also posted on the noticeboard at the back of the church. Page 13 St Luke’s Church, Cheltenham APCM Report 2022 ## **ST LUKE’S CHURCH HALL** ## **SIMON B** The Church Hall is managed separately from the church (as the St Luke & St John Ecclesiastical Charity, registered charity no. 1078441) and its report and accounts are formally presented to the Meeting of Parishioners that is held before the APCM. Please refer to these for more detail. The trustees were: _**the Vicar and Wardens ex-officio;**_ Revd Patrick W and Terry H (Victoria B stood down as warden at the last annual meeting) and _**nominees of the PCC**_ : Margaret B (Chairman) and Simon B (Treasurer). In December 2021 the Charity Commission approved an application by the trustees to add a third nominated trustee. Lisa C attended meetings as observer and was formally nominated by the PCC in January 2022. Robert B, a former warden and trustee, was invited to attend meetings as advisor. Mary C provides secretarial support to the trustees. The trustees are very grateful to our excellent part-time staff, Sylvia L the Bookings Manager and Lesley T the Facilities Manager, particularly for their efforts to keep the Hall functioning as far as possible throughout the pandemic. Income was **£57,843** up from £ **38,677** in 2020. This income includes an £8,000 donation from Margaret and the late John B towards the provision of solar panels. Total expenditure was **£46,105** up from **£45,727** in 2020. This includes the installation of the solar panels (£10.2K), improvements by Jonathan C to AV and IT facilities at the Hall (£1.4K) and grants to Ministers in Training (£6.8K). Saint John’s School held The Church Hall is well maintained and is a major asset to the community and to furthering the work of the church in the parish. ## **BUILDING & RESOURCES** ## **PETER R** 2021 was a busy year for the Resources committee with great assistance being provided by Hazel B, Chris K, Gary C & Terry H, Neil H - a huge thanks goes to them all for their support through the year. In July a working party painted the St John’s Chapel, a new carpet was fitted in September to make a very cosy creche for Sunday mornings. Thanks also to Jonathan C for installation of the speaker so that parents looking after little ones in the creche can hear the service. This room is now the warmest room in the church was used over the winter also as a meeting room and to hold short courses. A new dishwasher was installed in the kitchen area greatly assisting with clearing up after coffee following the 10.00am service on a Sunday morning. An external socket was installed for the Fire Truck to save trailing leads being run from the porch. As part of an application to become an Eco church 6 nesting boxes supplied by Chris & Howard M have been installed in the trees in the grounds. Plans for 2022 include improving the porch area to facilitate use by Fire Truck customers in inclement weather. Repairs to the windows in the South & East galleries. Repainting of external doors and refurbishment of notice boards. Page 14 St Luke’s Church, Cheltenham APCM Report 2022 ## **REVIEW OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES & AFFAIRS** ## **JONATHAN C** The PCC Treasurer is responsible for the management and reporting of PCC finances through the year, drafting the year-end accounts, and arranging for their independent examination. This review summarises the income and expenditure during 2021, noting any significant items and trends. ## Income - Regular Giving: The Parish Giving Scheme now represents over 70% of income from giving, and is the easiest way to support the church. Regular giving increased nearly 15% over 2020. - Legacies: two legacies were received in 2021, totalling £4,000. June contributed so much to the life of Saint Luke’s and it is a privilege to have been recognised in this way; our thoughts and prayers remain with Geoffrey and the family. Sylvia might be less well-known to today’s congregation but was a committed member of our congregation in prior years. - ‘Let Us’ campaign: we received nearly £5,000 in additional contributions to our 2020 appeal. - Donations: the church continues to receive generous gifts from members of the church family either instead of, or in addition to, regular giving. - Grants: the PCC received a grant from Historic England for work to the vestry roof, and also recovered VAT for some of the south gallery work and the vestry roof repairs from the Listed Places of Worship scheme. - Tax reclaimed under Gift Aid: much of our giving was tax-efficient, leading to a tax reclaim of £14,700 through the year. In addition, the church was able to claim back VAT on the gallery work of over £8,800 under the Listed Places of Worship scheme. - Other: we continue to receive regular income from parking in the churchyard, and from use of the church building. We also have seen an increase in occasional services as lockdown restrictions ease. ## Expenditure - Running Costs: general costs increased by nearly 50% compared to 2020, this representing a return to nearnormal activity, along with increases in utility costs. - Parish Share: the PCC paid a Parish Share to the Diocese of £65,000 in 2020, an increase of 18% on 2019. This increase brings us close to paying the full cost allocation for a self-sufficient church of our size with a fulltime minister. - Mission Giving and Charitable Contributions: £8,100 was allocated for our mission partners from 2021 funds in line with the budget. ## Summary 2021 was a relatively quiet year in financial terms. Income has continued to increase and this positions us well for commitment to full Parish Share. However, we recognise that this is thanks to God’s provision and our trust remains in Him. Our worshipping life has recovered to pre-COVID levels, both in terms of regular worship and occasional services such as weddings and funerals. Major maintenance activity in the year has been limited to roof repairs to the vestry, with other maintenance costs mainly supporting the opening of the south gallery. It is wonderful to have met our Parish Share, supporting our fellow parishes in the diocese; this continued commitment represents nearly 70% of our total costs. We achieved a surplus of £18,500 in the year for which we thank God. The PCC has committed £3,900 of this as additional mission giving to support refugees of the Ukraine crisis, and is finalising allocation of the remainder of the mission reserve. The remaining surplus will in part be used to address a budgeted deficit for 2022. My personal thanks go to Linda who has provided invaluable support to me as she oversees the financial activities and handles all the Gift Aid, to Peter who invariably gets involved in the financial aspects of the resources work, to Terry for approvals, and Patrick for his support and guidance. Thank you also to Sally, our independent examiner, who has confirmed her willingness to continue for another year and of course to you all for your prayerful support. Page 15 St Luke’s Church, Cheltenham APCM Report 2022 **PCC PETER B** (Legal and administrative information, including details of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) members who served during the year is shown on a separate page.) ## **Aims and Organisation** The main purpose of the PCC is defined in the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956 as “to co-operate with the minister in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical”. The PCC met six times during the year, twice on “Zoom”. There were no extraordinary meetings (EGM). The standing committee met informally and its decisions notified to the full PCC and ratified. The PCC operated as part of the united benefice with St. Mary/The Minster with St. Matthew. ## **Review of Progress, Decisions and Achievements** For the second year running, PCC business was affected by the restrictions imposed by HM Government upon meetings in person, due to the Covid 19 pandemic. In addition to the usual financial, ministerial, safeguarding (updates to our policies were agreed as part of our regular attention to this obligation) and development issues, there were a number of major items for discussion which included (in no particular order): - Pastoral. Covid 19 has again provided challenges to the administration of PCC functions and the PCC focussed upon resolving the problems, safety issues and setbacks that resulted from it. During the year, it was decided to support and encourage the training of Marion B for the new role of Pastoral Co-ordinator. There were a number of changes to support for young people’s work. Allan and Jo’s move to Australia presented a challenge as to how this work might continue was considered. The Living in Love and Faith initiative was discussed and how the church might respond. - Resources. Work on the development of the South Gallery continued and this room is now usable – details to be found in other APCM reports. The work put in by Peter R was gratefully acknowledged. - Finance. The ongoing financial position was monitored and financial support provided to regular Mission Partners plus support for the UCCF Mission at the University of Gloucestershire. - Ministry. The PCC discussed an approach from Richard/Red FireTruck Mobile Coffee to be based in the church car park and the PCC appreciated the mission opportunities that such a partnership might provoke. - Safeguarding. New guidelines were accepted and this issue remained fundamental to decisions. - Miscellaneous. The Traidcraft operation has now been wound up and thanks were given for the diligent work of Simon and Heather B over many years. Annie P. was approved as new Foundation Governor at St. John’s School. Significant PCC decisions were notified to the wider congregation, although communications were affected by the said Covid 19 restrictions. In closing, I have prepared these notes on behalf of Jenny Sykes who has served faithfully as PCC secretary throughout 2021 but who is unable to prepare this report for the APCM scheduled for May 2022. In doing so, I have relied upon the excellent notes that she had prepared throughout the year. I have received excellent support from Terry (churchwarden) and Patrick (minister) where my own records and recollections have been inadequate.

Groups that were able to operate within strict social distancing rules followed in April. Further relaxation of the regulations (“Step 3”) followed in May until they were lifted in July. The kitchen was brought back into use. Bookings began to return to normal in September, with the Senior Citizens Welfare Committee (SCWC) lunch clubs restarting, albeit in a smaller way than before. This situation continued until it was interupted by the Omicron precautions in December. The Bookings Manager kept users informed of the changing regulations and modified arrangements to make maximum use of the space available. The Facilities Manager enured that the Hall was kept clean and safe and complied with COVID-19 security regulations. There were no positive cases of COVID-19 reported so the Hall never had to close because of that regulation. Cheltenham Open Door moved to new premises, bringing an end to their use of the Hall for their Christmas refuge after over 20 years. Most people holding permits to park at the rear of the Hall continued to pay rent, even though they may have been working from home. This provided valuable income. Occasional rent for “casual parking” was received from local residents who needed parking for contractors working at their properties. **Trustee Business:** Victoria Beevers resigned as churchwarden at the Meeting of Parishioners on 18[th] April and was not replaced. Her post as ex-officio trustee therefore fell vacant. Robert Bolton, a former trustee, was invited to attend and advise at meetings. As a separate issue, the trustees applied to the Charity Commission to amend the governing document to increase the number of nominated trustees to three. The amendment was ratified on 10 December. Lisa Campbell was invited to attend meetings as an observer. Mrs Margaret Bristol continued as Chairman. The Trustees met in June, September and November. The trustees were delighted to receive a gift of £8,000 from Margaret and the late John Bristoltowards the provision of solar panels. A 9.99kW system was installed in February which is expected to generate 8,681kWh annually. The trustees continued to explore options for insulating the hall building and other means of reducing its carbon footprint. Grants were made to support ministers in training in the parish. A small grant was made for pastoral support to staff at Saint John’s School, The trustees made arrangements with Saint John’s School that grants made to the School in 2020 before the pandemic could be carried forward. The Audio Visual system in the main hall was thoroughly upgraded to improve the installation and its user interface. A new AV system was installed in the small hall based on a 75” UHD smart TV. A new “Mesh” WiFi system was installed. The internet connection was moved to fibre, which offers a minimum of 32Mb. A new booking system was introduced in the autumn. Conversion to this system was managed successfully but required considerable additional effort from the Bookings Manager. 2 St Luke & St John Ecclesiastical Charity Registered Charity No 1078441 ## **St Luke & St John Ecclesiastical Charity** ## _**Financial Report and Notes to the Accounts**_ A formal statement of accounts prepared by Mr Simon Sheldon FCA of Harper Sheldon Limited is attached. Income from lettings includes: Morea Performing Arts: £17,184; Momentum Pole and Aerial: £3,422; AA Groups: £2,326; Performance Workshop: £1,783; Everyman Theatre: £1,571; Oficina da Capoeira, England: £870; SCWC: £792; AT Soccercamps: £835; Royal Scottish Country Dance Society: £803. **Reserves Policy:** Unrestricted funds are needed: (a) to provide funds which can be designated to specific projects to enable these projects to be undertaken at short notice and (b) to cover the maintenance and running costs of the Church Hall, and other administration and support costs without which the charity could not function. The Trustees have reviewed the charity's needs for reserves in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission and consider it prudent that unrestricted reserves should be sufficient to cover 6 months maintenance and running costs and administration and support costs. Unrestricted reserves at end 2021 were **£33,702** . This approximates to **15** months running costs.
