Trustees’ Annual Report for the year 1[st] January to 31[st] December 2024.

Charity name: The Parochial church council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Peter & St John’s Rugby. Charity registration number: 1185009

Objectives and Activities

St Peter & St John’s church council has responsibility, together with the incumbent, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of church, pastoral, evangelical, social and ecumenical.

The church works to the Diocesan goals of ‘Worshipping God, making disciples and transforming communities and therefore all our activities are geared towards one of these goals. We hold a variety of services for worship at varying times and days, we offer groups to nurture faith and friendship and we have sought to benefit the wider parish by enhancing the accessibility and usefulness of the building which has significantly improved facilities. It is confirmed that the trustees have regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.

Structure, Governance & Management

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 appointment of all PCC members is governed by and set out in the Church Representation Rules (2020).

The PCC adheres to the policies of the Church of England in regards to training and guidance of members in safeguarding, health & safety and discrimination legislation.

The PCC meets as required to carry out its necessary functions, and authorizes a Standing Committee to discuss matters of urgency and set agendas. Other sub-committees are authorized to discuss matters of interest to the PCC in an advisory capacity. These include, but are not limited to, Worship Committee and Social & Fundraising Committee. The PCC employs staff in several functions, including a parish administrator, a parish safeguarding officer/cleaner/hall administrator. Remuneration of employees is reviewed annually in accordance with advice on national Living Wage.

Achievements and Performance

Vicar’s Report Rev Philip Morton

This past year has seen some developments in how the two churches of the Rugby East Benefice (St Peter & St John’s church and St Georges) are working together as part of a benefice and we have started to think about priorities for the future. This report will focus on the following areas: • developing a benefice strategy • strengthening pastoral connections • developing ministry and ecumenical contacts. The development of a benefice strategy started last year with the creation of the Steering Group which met through the summer months to work through the material of the CPAS Thrive booklet as a means to help us think about what would be needed in any future strategy document. I am very grateful to the members of the group for all their hard work on thinking about where the two churches have developed from in the past, what their unique strengths are, and how this might help shape the future of their ministry and service to the wider community in times to come.

The outcomes of the Steering Group were presented to the Benefice at an away-day in February, which allowed people to comment on which activities and ministries should be prioritized over the next few years. Thank you to everyone who has commented on and contributed to this work, it will help to focus our efforts and give us a framework to work with when planning for the future.

Pastoral Connections

It has been five years since the COVID lock-down but we are still feeling some of the effects of this, including the need to rebuild some of the connections with wider community groups that were loosened during that time. The good news is that this is now starting to bear fruit, and there are community-focused events and groups at both churches which are reconnecting with the wider community.

At St. Peter & St. John’s, the ‘You, Me & a Cup of Tea’ initiative is providing a place where people can meet and socialize in a friendly atmosphere. This is in addition to the groups and events that are already a part of our usual church life, providing a sense of community and belonging for many people. At the away-day, this was identified as a one of the key priorities of the benefice, and will underpin many of the events and activities planned for the future.

Ministry and Ecumenical contacts

The benefice continues to have strong links with other organisations in Rugby, including the foodbank and Rugby Hope4, through donations and volunteering. Members of our churches also give time to other charities such as Christians Against Poverty, the Street Pastors, Tools with a Mission, ACTS435, Samaritans and many others.

We retain good links with Rugby Revive, of which I sit on the steering group, and St. George’s hosted Rugby Youth for Christ in November for a special service. This all points to our wider ministry within God’s kingdom, sharing together in Christ’s mission to the world. But this can often be done in the unseen places as well.

The church would not be able to function without those who do the work of maintenance and cleaning, who look after our hall bookings and set the heating, or order the things we need for worship, or who organize the services and make sure our audio-visual is working, or who provide hospitality in all its forms. These are just as much a part of the church’s ministry to the world, so I offer my thanks to all of you who do so much behind the scenes.

We are also blessed with a strong Ministry Team, who lead us in our worship and help to develop the ministries of others. This past year has seen members of our team explore new avenues of ministry that they feel God is calling them to, and we pray with them that this will be a fruitful and blessed time in their lives.

Church Wardens report

2024 has been another busy year. Sunday morning services have continued to alternate between Communion and Morning Prayer/All-Age worship. Our thanks go to Philip and our Readers John and Gail, and our PTO Raymond for enabling these, and the mid- week Communion Services, where PTO Hilary also takes the service once a month.

Various building work has been done:

The problem with nesting pigeons in the roof space above the upper floor has been resolved, although there is further work needed to tidy up the area. The priest/choir vestry roof was repaired.

Electrical and fire checks have been undertaken and repairs made where necessary. The heating system has worked well and all necessary servicing carried out. The PCC agreed to the purchase of 2 new radio microphones.

At the end of 2024 some trees were identified as needing work done on them. Some were cut back and others removed early in 2025. Plaster has been falling from the roof beside the organ. This is in hand and will be dealt with in 2025.

Worship & services

Our worship of God remains the central focus of all our activity in our churches. The pattern of worship that was established when the benefice was first created has been maintained and follows the usual timetable below

At St. Peter & St. John (Sunday services at 10:30am): • Holy Communion on 1st and 3rd Sundays • All Age Worship on 2nd Sunday • Morning Worship on 4th Sunday • Midweek Holy Communion on Wednesdays.

Worship that engages younger people, especially children, has been a national priority for the Church of England recently, and our All-Age Worship team at PJs, produce services that are designed to connect with children and communicate the Gospel in accessible ways.

Home Groups continue to be a valuable source of fellowship and discipleship, and John has this year started an on-line group for those unable to attend a group in person. The seasons of Advent and Lent provide an opportunity for groups to meet and discuss matters of faith in more depth, and this year Carol sourced a good course from the Diocese of Exeter to aid conversation. Both churches now have established Worship Committees that advise the PCC on matters of worship and discipleship. It is hoped that future developments will include reviews of worship provision and an expansion of what the benefice can offer. My thanks to everyone involved in preparing and delivering worship in the benefice, it is the heart of what we do.

Discipleship

The Wednesday evening small group has continued as a place of nurture for those who have come to faith more recently. As many of you know, Adam, Stacee and Harvey were confirmed at Coventry Cathedral on the feast of Christ The King. In the time leading up to that, the small group had held extra meetings taking place on a Sunday night and focused on their Confirmation preparation. More recently, we have moved to using materials from the writers of the Emmaus courses, designed to help new Christians as they grow in their life of worship and prayer. We remain an online group as this enables those with young children to attend in an evening.

The Tuesday group continue to meet during term time either at our home and or by joining on zoom. During the year we followed several courses from the Bible Project videos, looked at the Gospel of Matthew and have just completed a course on the book of Joshua.

Transforming Communities

The social team meet regularly once a month and have hosted two fetes, two quiz nights, a Christian Aid lunch and catering for the Saturday lunchtime recitals. We teamed up with St Georges to provide refreshments for the council's annual fun day.

You, me & a cup of tea meet on the last Saturday of the month at 2.30pm in the church hall & share tea and cake. During the year we have enjoyed some speakers from the Rugby Street Pastors, Tools with a Mission and from the Rugby local history group. One month we made paper doves which were taken to Norwich Cathedral for their display.

Schools: Eastlands pupils continue to come to PJ’s once a term or so to learn about the church in terms of what takes place in the building and the broader life of our church community. Rev Philip Morton and John take it in turns to go into Eastlands to lead assemblies. We are each in once a term and always look forward to the opportunity to share the Christian story with the young people.

Mother & Toddlers group continues to be held every Wednesday morning in term time. As always, we lost some children who moved up to pre-school, but gained others at the lower end of the age group.

Our community hall is an important community resource and has continued to be well used this year by the local community and church affiliated groups. However, it should be noted, that income is down on the previous year mainly as a result of some groups finding other venues, including the Scout group. The hiring of the church and hall as a place for concerts also continues with regular bookings from the Rugby Musical Union and requests from local music teachers to hire the venue for small concerts for their students.

Wednesday lunch takes place after Communion at 12 am in the vestry . Sadly we have lost one of our three cooks and so on alternative Weds we go out for lunch to a nearby hostelry.

. Coffee, cake & craft runs on the second Thursday of the month from 10 until 11-30. We are growing in numbers! Each month there is a selected craft varying from paper quilling to embroidery, wreath making, card decorating not to mention items for fetes.

Environmental group: The church garden continues to offer a plethora of habitats for wildlife. Our dedicated group of Saturday morning gardeners continue to do fantastic work on maintaining the grounds

Financial Review Finance Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2024

Income

Total income for the year was £91,266 (2023 £63,554). The increase was due to a legacy received of £25,000 which has been allocated to designated funds. We also received a grant for work on the church and £1500 in respect of an insurance claim for damage to the roof. Total giving including gift aid has increased by just over £2000 compared to 2023. The introduction of the contactless machine has increased loose plate collections and money received at concerts. However, donations & hall lettings were down on previous years.

Expenditure

Total expenditure amounted to £72,638 (2023 £124,422).

The biggest outgoing on the general fund is the Parish Share. In 2024 the total was £30,000 (£2750 higher than 2023). This now sees this church meet its commitment to paying the full amount due. Church running costs were higher than 2023 due to increased energy costs but the church incurred lower maintenance costs in 2024. Major repairs of £19,034 included work carried out on the roof and organ & completion of the grant work in the hall.

The year ended with a deficit of £1,254 on general funds.

The investments stand at £73,359 comprised of shares & a deposit account held with CCLA. Total of all funds held at 31[st] December are £26,480 on designated funds and £53,879 on unrestricted funds. It is a policy of the PCC to keep approximately £16,000 in general reserves to cover unforeseen emergencies or loss of regular income.
