Parochial Church Council of

St. Peter’s, Pedmore

Charity Number 1133783

The Annual Report for year ending 31-December 2016

The PCC of Pedmore, St Peter’s Annual Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2016

AIM AND PURPOSES

St. Peter’s Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, in promoting

in the parish of Pedmore, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC

is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the St. Peter’s Centre.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The PCC is committed to enabling people to worship at St. Peter’s and to become Christians.

Our vision is to be a growing all age church, experiencing and sharing the love of God with the people of Pedmore.

So, we:

Support each other as individuals, groups and as a whole church.

Seek to put St Peter’s at the heart of the wider community in Pedmore.

Work together to reach out

The PCC maintains an overview of worship, and endeavours to enable worship and other church activities to put

faith into practice. The PCC’s remit includes:

Worship and prayer

Learning about the Gospel

Developing knowledge and trust in Jesus

Pastoral care

Missionary and outreach.

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.

To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Church and the St. Peter’s Centre.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The Kingdom People Vision was adopted in the Worcester Diocese in 2013. It is a commitment to mission in every aspect, seeking to bring the good news of God's love in Jesus to all who live in our cities, towns and villages, and to make the gospel relevant to their everyday lives. Our core task is proclaiming the Kingdom so that people may come to know and love the Lord Jesus. As Kingdom People, our vision is for a church that enables its people to be:

1. Deeply rooted in prayer and study of the scriptures. 2. Renewed and transformed by regular worship. 3. Equipped to witness to the gospel of love,

compassion, justice and freedom. 4. Dedicated to helping children, young people

and young adults to belong and be nurtured in faith. 5. Devoted to growing deeply in discipleship, offering our time,

talents and money to God. 6. Resourced and released to minister to others. 7. Ready to engage with and serve our community. 8. Committed to making our buildings fit-for-purpose,

as a both a spiritual and community resource.


eeply rooted in prayer and study of the scriptures

The journey in 2016 Prayer and bible preaching are at the heart of all our acts of worship, Sunday by Sunday and in the midweek services that we share with St Andrew’s, as well as each PCC meeting including a short Bible study and a time of prayer. We have had a range of preachers both because of the vacancy and because of the ongoing involvement of lay and ordained ministers from the parish and the town. There are teams of people both for the readings and the intercessions in our services, drawing on prayer request cards in the pews. We encourage use of the Diocesan Prayer Diary, as well as using an electronic prayer request system. There are a number of thriving midweek small groups that meet. We have been offering prayer ministry in services more regularly, and has a special service with prayers for healing in October.

The road ahead We will be exploring how to get involved in “Thy Kingdom Come” which is the Archbishops’ prayer initiative for the ten days between Ascension Day and Pentecost. We hope to develop a prayer map of parish that looks like London Tube map to help us get to know the area and how we can grow in confidence in praying for it. The new PCC will look at setting up a Spirituality group to help us develop prayer and spirituality and the stepping stones that we put in place to help ourselves and those who journey with us in this aspect of our discipleship.

enewed and transformed by regular worship

The journey in 2016 The weekly Sunday pattern of services has continued through the year.

1st Sundays 2nd Sundays 3rd Sundays 4th Sundays

9am Morning Communion

1030 HelloSunday Morning Worship Family Communion

6pm Evening Prayer Evening Prayer* Evening Communion Evening Prayer*

*traditional language services

There is a midweek communion each Wednesday. We had special services for the Queen’s 90th birthday, for Pedmore Seniors, for Harvest, Blessing the Backpacks, a Bereavement service and Remembrance as well as Pedmore School services for Easter, leavers and Christmas. We have introduced Pilgrims’ Progress an occasional Sunday evening service, as well as reimagining HelloSunday which is the all-age service on the first Sunday on the month at 1030. There were farewells from the ministry team in 2016 as well as Sarah joining in May 2016 as priest-in-charge.

The road ahead We are committed to see each of our services grow. We are developing our services to reflect our relationship with St Andrew’s Wollescote. This begun with a new pattern for Lent, where there were evening as well as morning midweek communions, alternating between the two churches, with a similar pattern for Holy Week. We had joint services on Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday. Each year, St Andrew’s will host one service and St Peter’s the other, swapping over the following year. This year, St Andrew’s joined St Peter’s

for Palm Sunday whilst we came together as two churches at 10am for a lively Easter communion at St Andrew’s. The new PCC will be looking at setting up a Networking group to explore this and our ecumenical partnerships in the wider town.

quipped to witness to the Gospel of love, compassion, justice and freedom

The journey in 2016 St Peter’s places a high value on hospitality and believes that the quality of our pastoral care is a core part of our witness. The Pastoral group continues to give a strong lead on ensuring that visitors and people connected with the church family are welcomed and included. The Tuesday morning group that meets in the Foley is much valued as are the weekly Sunday morning breakfasts which were reviewed during 2016. The Ritz tea party, Saturday breakfasts and other social events have been very successful as was the Bereavement service in October. Opportunities for outreach continue through funerals, weddings and baptisms, and also by the way we use our magazine, invitations and website. Courses such as Life Explored and Christianity Explored have proved popular. As a church, we support the Life Debt Centre, street pastors and the foodbank and the PCC established the new Partners in Mission group to look at our giving and practical support of mission agencies.

The road ahead In order to develop our follow-up on those with whom we have contacts, the new PCC will look at a new and more integrated publicity strategy, with a Media working group set up to look at our communications, noticeboards, magazines and in particular consider electronic media, such as a website and a Facebook page.

E


edicated to helping children, young people and young adults to belong and be nurtured in faith

The journey in 2016 Our relationship with Pedmore School is strong, with services in church, and church members regularly in school, taking part in assemblies and classes and also serving as governors. We have also continued to develop our relationship with the uniformed organisations, having parade services and offering input into “faith badges”. The Sunday morning church activities known as PJs attract families and there is crèche-style space in services in Barney’s corner. Special events such as family-friendly carol services and summer holiday clubs are popular. The toddler groups midweek, the monthly Messy Church and baptism families are an important part of our ministry. HelloSunday is building on this foundation. The road ahead Our children’s and family work post changed during 2016. Keri was on maternity leave until the summer, when she returned but on reduced hours, and subsequently gave notice. Beth is our temporary part-time children’s worker until the end of the calendar year. The new PCC, with support from Ruth Walker, the Diocesan leader for the new Mission Enablers team, will establish a Calling Young Disciples working party to consider our priorities and resources in relation to families’ ministry, and to develop a strategy that is both sustainable and life-giving. This will include decisions about the nature of any paid post going forward.

evoted to growing deeply as disciples, offering our time, talents and money to God

The journey in 2016 The volunteer hours that keep the church and its activities running are enormous – hospitality, cleaning, maintenance, pastoral care, fundraising, intercessions, readings, children’s ministry and the more formal activities of the PCC and Deanery Synod. There have been opportunities for people to develop their musical skills, with a range of worship leaders especially involved at the 1030 services. The PCC’s new Partners in Mission group has begun helping us think about our giving as a church to those areas of mission that we want to cherish and enable. The place of small groups in church life is crucial in enabling us to explore with others our strengths and gifts.

The road ahead We face changes in the way that our parish finances are calculated and will find a significant increase in our parish share to the Diocese over the next couple of years. The new PCC will be setting up a Finance and Stewardship team to support the new treasurer and to explore our wider responses to the opportunities that stewardship of talents and time, as well as money, bring to our parish life together.

esourced and released to minister to others

The journey in 2016 St Peter’s engages with a wide range of local people and many congregation members are active in the community in different groups and voluntary activities. Much of our energies over the last couple of years has been about navigating the significant upheavals that a change of minister brings about. The ministry team and the PCC, as well as many quiet, unnoticed ministries, have worked tirelessly and the life of the church, and its reputation in the community is healthy. Our friends at St Andrew’s have deeply appreciated the input they have had from Pedmore LLMs and ALMs. New people have become involved in ministry in services and in nursing homes, and as volunteers in children’s activities and on rotas for coffee after services and for Sunday breakfasts. The road ahead There are some specific projects ahead. We have mentioned “Thy Kingdom Come” and there is an opportunity to become involved as a volunteer in funeral ministry, with a chance to learn about “Grave Talk” groups as part of involving more of us in this important aspect of parish life. We will have daily prayer and study materials called “Forty Days of Summer” to use in July and August, to help us think about vocation and vacation, ministry and Sabbath. The PCC’s new Networking group will help us explore what aspects of our ministry can be effectively and productively done in collaboration with Wollescote. Additionally, each of the new PCC working groups will be open to all members of the church to get involved.

eady to engage with and serve our community

The journey in 2016 We have continued to work hard in the last year to show to the wider community that we are here and we are a warm and welcoming community of people committed to the local area. We make St Peter’s Centre available as a community resource. We have put energies into redecoration and replacement of difficult to use equipment and seating in the last year. The committee that manages St Peter’s Centre meets regularly and has prepared a financial report which is available for inspection through the PCC Secretary. The road ahead We look to grow our ministry of weddings, baptisms and funerals. We are committed to social action as we believe that in blessing others God blesses us. The Diocese will be advertising for a curate to join the ministry of the two churches from Summer 2018.

ommitted to making our buildings fit for purpose as a spiritual and community resource

The journey in 2016

This Fabric Report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Care of Churches and Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Measure 1991. It has been circulated to members of the Parochial Church Council and any amendments required by them have been incorporated. The Churchwardens have carried out their annual check of the Church Silver, Fixtures and Fittings. The Terrier is complete and available for inspection. We received the report on the Quinquennial Inspection in June. As a result of this it was necessary to arrange for work to be carried out on the roof of the Church and this is in progress. Quotes are being sort for the introduction of a handrail

along the path through the graveyard towards the Centre. The matter of the safety of the spikes on certain old graves is still under consideration. A new projector has been installed in Church giving us much clearer pictures.

The road ahead Bishop John has asked every PCC to consider opening the church building: "The first Christian places of worship were ‘martyria'. The word suggests that the place itself bears witness. Our churches can bear witness to the faith we profess but the message they convey if they are closed and locked is hardly a positive gospel one. I urge all PCCs to arrange to leave their churches open all day and every day to provide a welcome in the name of Christ to all comers and convey to them something of the love of God." The new PCC will be establishing an Open Door working group that will consider our responses to Bishop John’s request. It will also take a lead on fabric matters and consider the issues raised by having a burial ground that is nearly full.

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Unrestricted voluntary income during the year was £116,151 including a legacy of £10,000 compared with £126,790

the previous year total of £126,790.

The total expenditure fell from £193,323 to £138,861 largely due to the costs of the new lighting scheme which were

incurred in 2015 and the reduction in hours worked by the children and families worker in the current year.

The Parish share increased by 6% to £59,925 and will be increased further in future years as a result of the Dioceses’

re-appraisal of the allocation of centrally borne costs between parishes.

RESERVES POLICY

It is the PCC’s policy to try to maintain a balance of free reserves (net current assets) which equates to at least six

months unrestricted fund payments. This is equivalent to £65,000. At the year end this objective was comfortably

exceeded but a number of projects in and around the churchyard had been approved by the PCC but had not yet been

expended.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together

the general purposes of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted.

the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body and those that are informal gatherings

of Church members.

INCOMING RESOURCES

Voluntary income and capital sources

Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC.

Planned giving receivable under Gift Aid is recognised only when received.

Income Tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised.

due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is reasonably certain.

Incoming Resources with related expenditure are accounted for gross.

Other ordinary income

Rental Income from the letting of Church Premises is recognised when the rent is due. Other ordinary income is

recognised when due if material in value, or otherwise when received.

Realised gains or losses are recognised when investments are sold. Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on

revaluation of investments at 31 December.

RESOURCES USED

Grants

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid, or when awarded if that award creates a binding obligation on

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST. PETER’S PEDMORE

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2016 set out in pages 6 to 17

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit

is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent

examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act

to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the commission under section 145(5)(b)

of the 2011Act

to state whether particular matters have come to my attention

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission.

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts

with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking

explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all

the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts

present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements

to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and

to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting

requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or

2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts

to be reached.
