REVIEW OF THE YEAR
Worship -
With the pandemic affecting services in church, a limited number of services were used to build up a in person worship opportunity whilst also seeking to provide online worship through the YouTube channel Dersingham Online worship and the dedicated website built by Rev Dave in 2020. This then transitioned to services recorded in Church using the newly installed system from May onwards, and eventually, to a fully live-streamed service once the internet connection was established within Church. The internet took BT Open reach over 5 months to address, a big delay and increase in time while we waited and chased. These live-streamed services continue on a weekly basis, normally distributing the 11am Traditional worship. The views on YouTube have increased significantly since live streamed began compared to when recorded in person services were uploaded later but at the same time the numbers in church have been in increasing into spring 2022.
As the Lockdown lifted in March 2021, we resumed holding two services most Sundays. The Gathering began initially in the Dersingham Village Centre at 9.30am each week (moving back into the Church in September), whilst traditional worship at 11am was held at either Dersingham, Ingoldisthorpe or Anmer on a loose rotation. The Choir were not able to join us at first, but once they were permitted to sing under Government guidelines, they have joined each 11am service. The choir also resumed their practice on a Thursday evening as soon as they were able to do so. Holy Communion was held weekly, normally at the 11am service, but once a month at the Gathering instead (the 11am service being Morning Prayer on these occasions, usually with Baptisms).
A Combined Harvest Festival Service was held in October at 10am; Climate Sunday was observed at both services on October 17[th] and Remembrance Sunday was marked with a Benefice Service at 10.30am on November 14[th] at which the seven village Scout & Guide sections paraded with members of the British Legion.
In addition to the normal morning worship, Advent & Christmas were celebrated with a number of well attended services;
-
Advent Evening Service – with the Choir at 6.30pm on the 1[st] Sunday of Advent
-
Christingle at 4pm on the 2[nd] Sunday of Advent
-
Tea & Carols led by Steve Davis at 4pm on the 3[rd] Sunday of Advent
-
Lesson & Carols with the Choir at 6.30pm on the 4[th] Sunday of Advent
Christmas Eve was marked with both a Crib Service at 4pm and Midnight Eucharist, whilst a single combined service was held at 10am on Christmas Day. No services were held on Boxing Day (this year a Sunday), instead a recording of the Lessons & Carols was released on the Church online worship website & YouTube.
Mission and Ministry –
We have 3 Mid Week Groups meet on a series of days and times during the week. By the end of 2021, two were meeting in person and the third plans to start meeting in person once more in 2022.
An Alpha Course was held via Zoom in early 2021.
Looking wider, we also supported the Diocesan Lent Project; Christingle Service proceeds went to the Children’s Society, Remembrance Sunday was held in person within the Church, and Church members also supported the Samaritans Purse via the Shoe Box Appeal.
3
The Youth Group ‘Elevation’ resumed in April and continued to meet weekly during Term-time. Little Nippers resumed after Easter in 2021 and gradually built back up to full capacity by October 2021 and now have a small waiting list, there is a great group of parents, grandparents and Nannies who come with the children.
Events -
Whilst the year began with a lockdown and extensive social distancing requirements; Coffee Mornings resumed in Church as soon as it was possible to do so; a Floral Display was held in the Church alongside Open Gardens in September, and the Christmas Tree Festival returned throughout December – with the Bilton Silver Band on the first Saturday, Trees by Candlelight on the second Saturday and a children’s day with Father Christmas on the third Saturday. A highlight of the year was the Abseil of the Tower which finally was able to take place on Saturday 2[nd] October. All these required the support of the church Catering Committee and numerous volunteers and stall holders.
Communications -
Our role is to make sure that our Events & Special Church Services as well as our usual Services are well publicised and the material for these printed. Our Benefice Parish Church magazine continued throughout the year, with printed editions on the normal schedule.
However, as well as the practical management of the Church building the main focus of the PCC's attention is upon mission and growth, and also fund-raising. This takes three forms - mainly Worship, Outreach and Social Events. Worship builds up faith and is the most important aspect of our life together. We seek to share the Good News of Jesus with those who don`t yet know. The Events serve to create a sense of community and encourage wider growth. Such activities as these events are also an important source of income as we strive to meet our considerable financial obligations.
Abby Blackmore has developed and grown the social media presence of the church on the two platforms we use (Instagram and Facebook) aswell as that of BabyBasics.
Mark has started writing in Town and Around (covers Hunstanton Area down to Kings Lynn), with a view to broaden the reach, it seems two couples from Hunstanton have started worshipping with us following this. Dave and Mark continue to write in the Village Voice.
Church Warden’s Report
Fabrics, Goods and Ornaments
The supervision and care of such items is an on-going task. Any changes are recorded in the inventory, which is available for inspection, by arrangement. Small repairs and maintenance have been undertaken, when required, often by one of the church wardens.
The Church Building
The Intruder Alarm, and Fire Extinguishers, and Roof Alarm and Gas Boilers were serviced.
The Oil Painting “The Agony in the Garden” is still with the Conservator. Progress is being made, but has been slowed down due the the limitations forced by the Coronavirus.
Gutters, Down-pipes and Drains cleaned as part of the annual maintenance.
The installation of new Audio/Visual equipment by Hilltop Audio Visual Ltd., has greatly enhanced to public address system, and enabled the transmission of services via the internet.

A gradual return to congregational worship when Coronavirus measures were relaxed was appreciated by all. A new pattern of services has been established. Later in the year the church building also began to being used for coffee mornings and festivals, with careful attention to cleanliness, ventilation and the use of hand sanitizer, in order to combat the spread of Coronavirus infection.
Churchyard
Sincere thanks go to a small group of people who have continued to attend to tidying the churchyard, particularly Les and Katrina Mundy, and Graham Dennis. We are very grateful for greatly improved appearance of the area. Some parishioners who tend their own family graves spend time attending to others plots, helping those known to them who are unable to do the work themselves. A mole catcher has again been engaged to deal with the disruptive amount of molehills. Repair on the Churchyard wall (north of the Tithe Barn) has been undertaken by Alan Cross of Dersingham Building and Contracting Company of Heath Road. Mr. Cross has kindly given his time and all materials completely free of charge. He has been personally thanked for this kind work. The Yew Trees had their annual trim. Negotiations to obtain more burial land took place in the autumn, and these are still on-going.
Finally, thanks from the Wardens
Again we extend our sincere thanks to all the people who give so much time and energy, often working quietly and anonymously to maintain the cleanliness and tidiness of our church. This is particularly appreciated during what has turned out to be another year when, because of the pandemic, we have all had to adjust to new ways of working, to ensure our own safety, the safety of others, and to obey government guidelines.

Finance
Despite having to worship and meet under the restrictions of the second year of the covid pandemic, St Nicholas was able to finance and install a new audio system with live stream cameras, raise funds for the planned building development and pay the Parish Share in full! An amazing achievement and a reflection of the commitment and generosity of church members and the local community.
Tithing through regular giving continues to underpin our ability to meet our financial commitments and enables us to keep the building in good order and provide a warm and comfortable church for worship, activities and meetings. It is particularly useful if this is given by bank transfer and therefore it is encouraging to see the growth of this form of giving in 2021. Contactless and online giving has also proved to be a useful and convenient way to support the church.
The sponsored abseil was very popular and raised just over £12,000; this is held in the PCC CCLA deposit account and is restricted to be used for the planned building improvements to the church. There will be further income from some of the donations after the Gift Aid has been claimed.
Further explanation of the accounts can be seen under Notes at the end of the Financial Statement.
The PCC reviewed the present Reserves Policy in November and agreed that it should be changed to reflect the determination to continue to save funds for the planned building changes.
Reserves Policy 2021-2022
5
It is the policy of this PCC to keep 2 months of running costs in unrestricted reserves, this may also be used for unforeseen emergencies. The PCC is building up reserves in a restricted fund to finance the planned re-ordering of the interior of the church building.
Pat Oughtibridge, Treasurer
Thank you

This Report and Accounts have been approved by the PCC. The accounts were signed by the Reverend Mark Capron on behalf of the PCC at their meeting on Monday 7[th] March 2022.

Receipts and Payments Account for the year ended 31 December 2022
Notes relating to specific items on the accounts
-
On further inspection, the opening balance for the Men’s Group had been overstated by £7.53 at the end of 2020 and the balance has been re-stated in these accounts. Due to the variance being immaterial it was not deemed an efficient use of time to investigate this balance.
-
Donations (including Gift Aided) includes £15,105 for the new audio system in church and £2,000 in response to the request for additional donations towards meeting our commitment with the payment of the Parish Share. This year it also includes regular giving from the envelope scheme as this could not be included under Sunday collections.
-
£494 was raised for the church from the participants in the 2021 Norfolk Churches Trust Bike and Walk.
