Our car pa￿ in Priesthill continues to bc used as 8 base for a contsiner which stores bicycles for South West
Community Cycles. Sadly. this organization went into liquidation in late 2021 and the contsiner will be
removed in due course.
Our building in Dove StreeL Nitshill. was leased for several years to a Children's Nursery, operating
duriog the day from Monday to Friday, until ihe nursery d¢Lided to bring thc leas¢ to an end in the
summer of 2015 in order to relocatc to more suitable premises lo¢ally. Beginning in Novcmber 2015, we
leased our Dove Street premises to"Dancebeat". a dance school. which had sole use of the Premises
throughout the week other than on a Sunday morning. This lease continued until the autumn of 2018.
whcn th¢ danc¢ school relocated to other premises. With no prospective t¢nant to l¢as¢ th¢ hall to, wc
deLtded &% a Kirk Session lo look towards selling oiw Dovc Street building. However. in the autumry of
2019 w¢ were approached by "Danceb¢at" to renew the let. and &$ this would be of substsntial help to the
church financially. it was agreed that the lease would begin again on 1° December 2019.
The pandemic cauqed -Dancebeat" to close for severdl months. However. it was able to rL'ttmi to aciivity
in the autumn of 2020 for a pcriod of time before closing again as we wcnt into level 41(KkdowD.
"DanLebeal" has now fully reopened following the relaxation of Covid Testrictions.
Achlevements and Performance
At the end of 2021 we had 173 membets on the chu￿￿ communion roll {down 8).
Sadly, due to the ¢lY¢cts of the panden]ic we have only 2 children worshiping with us from time to tirne.
In the autumn of 2016 we introthical Messy Church. Messy Church 18 a church with a difference for all
ages. It is a fatnily L'vent and all Children need to be accompanid by an adult. Taking place over 2 bours,
it iric0￿rat¢S gamcs, craft-making. Bible stories, a worship tim¢ in the sanctuary and enjoying a meal
together. Une encouraging &sp¢d of Me&sy Church is that some of the adults who brlng the children are
now helping to lead som¢ of the craft activities alongside ow leaders. Regrettably, Messy Church ceased
due to the pandemic and h&s not restarted due to lack of volunteers.
2 infant baptisms took place during 2021.
Th¢r¢ were DO weddings ¢elebratrd in 2021.
I I funerals took place duting 2021 (Down 3).
In 2Q21, sadly. we lost 7 members of OUT congregation through death. (up 4 on 2020)
Diie to the p￿demiC restrictions, services were conducted online during the eady part of 2021. Since the
restart of face to face Sunday worship on Palm Sunday 28 March 2021, we hold our r¢gular Sunday
Worship servA¢¢ at I I.00am in Priesthill Roa¢ with the number of people attending ranging between 15 to

Present and Future Plans
Ow present and future focus is broadly three-fold:
l ) To Lontinue to be the church within our parish as best we can, while in vacancy from 6 JUD¢ 2021, as
we continue to negotiale our way through the present Covid-19 pandemic. (One of the major themes of our
services has been the belief thaL out of the th'fficulties that th¢ pandemic has brought to bear, there will
emerg¢ a new season of revival.)
2) To put into practice the Local Church Review Five Year Action Plan which was agreed at the December
2017 meeting ot'Glasgow Presbytery. Thi5 is suspended meantime.
3) To engage in the vacancy process, guided by our Interim Mod¢rdtor, who w&5 elected in March 2021.
Our neighbouring parish churc14 St James'(Pollok), f¢ll vacant at the end of February 2019 with the
r¢tiremcnt of thcir parish minister. In the present Presbytery Plan. (2012 - 2022), our ￿]Sh church and St
James, (Pollok) Parish Church are mentioned together in temis of our buildings.
In tkcember 2020 our Parish Minister intimated to GI&8gow Presbytery his intention to retire on 5 June
2021. In March 202 l the Vacancy Procedur¢ Committee of Glasgow Presbytery propM)sed thal in light of
the pending vaknancy, our parish cburch be given the right to call a minister without ￿$triCtiOn. This proposal
was nol challenged.
While this is very encouraging, we are awgre as a Kirk Se&sion, that the 2021 General Assembly, due to
take pl2Le in mid-to-late May, will be reporting on a substantial reduction in available ministers across th¢
Church of Scotland, including C)l&sgow Presbytery, as w¢ go into the immediate future. In light ofthis. there
is a strong sense that our present "right to call a minister without restriction- 1$ not nece&sarily a settled
matter and may changc in th¢ months that lie ah¢ad.
Following our pari8h minister's retiremenL ¢ombined with th¢ continuing vaCa￿Y at St Jamcs'(Pollok), it
is hoped that this will lead to Gl&%gow Presbytery moving toward making a decision on the future of our
bullding at l 00 Priesthill Road by 2023.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Noiwitbstanding the relaxation of Covid-19 restrictions during the year. 2021 bas again proved to b¢
most challenging financially with payments exceeding receipts. Ilow¢v¢r. the decision to transfcr the
Legacy Fund into the Fabric Fund ha5 resulted in last year's deficit in the unrestricted funds of £11,636
being reduced io £108 this year.
TherL (IfL'. two main areas in which our finan¢¢s have suffered as a result ofthe pandemic:
l. Chr15ti*n Clvlng: Whdst our Gift Aid Off¢rings and Freewill Offerings {Non￿1ft Aid) have
remained Telatively stable our Open Plate OtTerings have increased slightly to £979 from £820
(2020)
2. Ik%siDg of our Dove Street Building: In nornial times we re¢eive an annual rent of £12.000.
hoivcver due lo p¢Ysonal circumstanc¢s of the tenants. and the pandemiL. th¢ reiital income was
£8.0(X).
3. RL'llr81 of Ihe Parlsh Minister: Christian giving w&$ adv¢rsely impactcd duc to the retiral ofthe
Patish Minister in June 2021.
It had b¢en hoped thai during 2021 WL would conduct a StewanL%hip C&unpaign to encourage members of
Ihe con¥r¢g&tion to consid¢r increastng their Christian giving. This did not happen due. in particular, to
our view tkk4lt the pandemic had placed people in financial hardship and as such would be tnappropriate.

RESERVES POLICY
It is the Tnistee5' policy to hold reserves of appn)ximately 6 months expenditure, including Designated
(L%. At the year end the Church held unrestricted fijnds of £ (108) [2020.. £ (11,636)] comprised of the
Gcnernl Fund of £8,144 and the Designated Fabric Fund of £ (8252).
Clearly we pr¢sently hav¢ no reserves, as described in our policy, and are therefore not able to put this
R¢s¢rves Policy into practice ￿ w¢ write this report.
Legacy was transf¢￿ed to th¢ Fabric Fund &s per old Househillwood St. Christopher's Accounts.
Huwcvcr, as a rcsult of the sale of the fornier St. Christoph¢r's ll￿nse ID 2016 and th¢ sale of the Meikle
Road Church buildiIig in j￿)uary 2018, w¢ presently have over £282.000 in fillids. which ￿ retained in a
Consolidated Fabric Fund. on our behalf, by the Gencrdl Tnlstees of the Church of Scotland. Although
these funds are restrÈcted in their use. we have been able to draw upon the 'reveThue funds. for fabric costs
and certain fabric-reldted utility billb such as Insuranc¢ and Heat and LTght. Èn 2021, w¢ r¢c¢iv¢d
£1,056 from these funds for that very puqx)se. K8 a result of this. &s at 31° December 2021. we hav¢ only
£240 left in the 'revenue funds,.
DuLb to the pand¢mic. as. we expr¢s8¢d las't year. it is our hope that the General Assembly of the Church of
Scotland will draw up legi¥41ation in the near futh which will allow these funds, including the 'capjtal
nds, to be used in more llexible ways.
