Registered Charity: No. 1127835 Background:

The parish of Great Baddow is a Team Ministry, embracing the parish church of St Mary in Church Street, St Paul’s Church in Loftin Way and Meadgate Church in Meadgate Avenue. The Parochial Church Council (PCC) has a responsibility to co- operate with the Team Rector and the Team Vicars in promoting within the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church; pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. Its primary object is the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the . In addition to the three churches it has maintenance responsibilities for St Mary’s Church Centre (near The Chase), Bell Street Hall in Bell Street and the Church Office in Church Path. The PCC is registered with the Charity Commission at reference 1127835.

PCC and District Church Councils (DCC):

The PCC has delegated wide-ranging powers to the three DCCs, which have separate memberships and themselves operate a series of sub-committees at each church. The PCC Standing Committee did not need to meet during the year. The Churchwardens have also delegated powers to the respective District Churchwardens at St Paul and Meadgate Churches to sign any relevant documents relating to their Church.

Church membership and attendance:

At April 2013 there were 456 members on the Church Electoral Roll - made up of 263 at St Mary’s, 59 at St Paul’s and 134 at Meadgate – a decrease of 70 over the 2012 total following preparation of a new Roll. The normal weekly attendance during 2013 was approx 327 adults and 75 children - made up of 160/35 at St Mary’s, 40/14 at St Paul’s and 127/26 at Meadgate - but this number is substantially increased at all three churches at Easter, Harvest and Christmas festivals.

Additional Ministry across the parish:

As well as the Team clergy the parish was fortunate during the year to continue to benefit from the ministry of other clergy, particularly Revd. Sandy Southee and Revd. Tim Pigrem, both retired clergy; an Authorised Pastoral Assistant and our many Authorised Local Preachers. Other visiting preachers were welcomed during the year, including the , the Archdeacon of Chelmsford and representatives of various mission societies. Emma Smith was Youth Minister at Meadgate throughout the year.

The wider church:

During the year the parish supported the work of the diocese by paying in full its Parish Share of £194,778, [NB. The 2014 figure of £199,372 is an increase of £4,594 or 2.4%.] In turn the Diocese supported the Team Ministry through provision of stipends & housing for four stipendiary clergy and two part-time stipendiary Associate Ministers together with a range of parish support services. Church members play a full part in the life of the diocese; Roger Matthews as the Dean of Mission and Ministry; Graham Hamborg as the Ordained Ministry Development Adviser; Mary Kersys as PA to the Diocesan Bishop; Steve Kersys as the Children’s Work Adviser; Helen Willis as Secretary to the Archdeacon of Chelmsford; and Canon Harry Marsh as a member of Bishop’s Council & Cathedral Council and as Deanery Synod Treasurer.

We are also glad to host in our churches from time to time seminars and other meetings of various diocesan groups.

Review of the year Parish:

Staffing: There was no change during the year when the full-time Team Clergy consisted of Team Rector, two Team Vicars and . However Revd. Annabel Copeland left at the end of January 2014 to go to the parish of Tidworth in Salisbury diocese, also becoming Chaplain to the Wellington Academy. After serving in the Team for five years she will be missed, but prayers of the three congregations went with her as she started her new spheres of service.

Parochial Church Council: There were four PCC meetings with an average attendance of 23(72%). A standard agenda item is a report from each of the three districts on their recent activities and future plans. Over the year Council members considered a range of matters, including the ongoing implementation of Transforming Presence; Chancel Repairs Liability legislation, leading to the decision not to register any CRL, such decision being accepted by the Charity Commission as reasonable; mission opportunity at Beaulieu Park in Springfield; possibility of leasing the infant school site at Meadgate to enable growth there; vacancy for a governor at St Michael’s Junior School, created by the resignation of Eleanor Coupland; vacancy for a Team Vicar at St Paul. A five yearly Team Review was undertaken by Bishop John and the report was initially discussed in September, opening up three areas – relationship amongst clergy; how we relate to each other as Churches; structures/constitutions. Work on these is still being undertaken. The programme of annual review of the various parish policies was followed as planned. Council members have had regard to the public guidance published by the Charity Commission in determining the range of activities undertaken during the year.

Architect: This is an opportunity to record grateful thanks to the long-serving Architect at St Mary’s church. Gerald Barrett was appointed sometime prior to 1980 – even he does not know when that was – and has faithfully made an unknown total of Quinquennial (five yearly) Inspections of the church’s fabric. Gerald, formerly a Reader at St Michael’s Galleywood, has also given guidance on many projects, including the 1999 refurbishment of St Mary’s. Due to his retirement from practice he stood down in 2013 and his successor is Simon Marks of Colchester.

Parish Finances: We continue to praise the Lord for all His goodness. The three churches financed their outgoings primarily by offertories and regular giving by members. The principles of stewardship and commitment to giving continue to be promoted across the congregations and the levels of giving achieved by members of the respective churches reflect a degree of sacrificial giving by many individuals. There is no definite policy in the parish on reserves, as it is felt that weekly/monthly offerings are received on an even flow, such that expenditure can be met as it arises, but it is recognised that a move towards having some level of reserve in each of the three churches would be prudent.

St Mary’s: Throughout 2013 we continued to explore the implications of Transforming Presence, the strategy for the local church. There was a particular focus on ‘Living Distinctively’ and on prayer and this was reflected in a variety of activities, events and services both at St Mary’s and across the Team Ministry. A particular highlight was Time To Pray during Lent; a booklet of forty reflections on prayer written by members of our three churches was produced and this was accompanied by a family resource on prayer. The preaching series through Lent explored different aspects of prayer and included pulpit exchanges across the Team. A prayer labyrinth with a 24 hours/3 days prayer weekend was resourced by members of the churches and based at St Paul’s and Home Group study materials were developed by the clergy and used across the parish.

In June St Mary’s was privileged to host the Bradwell Area of service conducted by Bishop John Wraw. It was a particular joy as our curate Katie de Bourcier was ordained at this service and we continue to give thanks for her ministry at St Mary’s and across the parish. We continue to thank God for the gifted team of lay and ordained ministers serving in ministry and mission at St Mary’s and are particularly grateful for the support of the retired clergy Revd. Sandy Southee and Revd. Tim Pigrem alongside our Associate Ministers Revd. Canon Dr. Roger Matthews and Revd. Canon Dr. Graham Hamborg. In September we commissioned Jacqui Pavey as Pastoral Assistant following the completion of her diocesan training and Jacqui‘s ministry has an emphasis on developing our bereavement ministry in the parish. Sue Finch continues her ordination training and in the autumn we were pleased to support Steve Finch as he began work with the UCCF Relay programme based at Lampeter University. We continue to encourage people in exploring how they might use their gifts in God’s service and the SHAPE vocations course was run again during the year.

Nurture and discipleship remain key aspects of our church life and during 2013 another group of children were prepared and admitted to Holy Communion at Pentecost. An Alpha course ran during the autumn and there was a young people’s confirmation course. Ten members of St Mary’s were confirmed by Bishop John Wraw at the church in November. Several of the church congregation took part in filming for the Pilgrim Course, a new Church of England teaching and discipleship resource. Home Groups continued to meet during the year and a new group started. A review of our Home Groups was conducted and the findings were considered by the Ministry Leadership Team. A new group now meets regularly for Bible study aimed at Mothers and Babies.

At the annual meetings Elaine Fisher and Les Worley were elected as Parish Wardens and Graham Heath and Matthew Johnson as Deputy Wardens. We remain very grateful to the wardens for all their hard work over the year and in particular give thanks for Helen Willis (Parish Warden) and Christine Smith (Deputy Warden) who stepped down from office after several years of faithful service. We are also thankful for all those who have served and continue to serve on the DCC, PCC, Deanery and Diocesan Synod. Jacqui Pavey continued to provide a vital ministry as the church administrator and Rector’s PA.

The Ministry Leadership Team met regularly throughout the year and the membership was refreshed after Easter. The clergy, church wardens, DCC and MLT continued to provide leadership for mission and ministry at St Mary’s including the church’s response to the bishop’s review of the Team Ministry, initial discussions about Ministry and Mission Units and planning for the diocesan Year of Mission 2014. The pastoral care team continued its valued ministry of home communions to the housebound. The prayer ministry team continued to explore how this area might be developed, and led by Revd. Sandy Southee they have undertaken study and training during the year. The team continues to serve during and after worship and is exploring how prayer ministry might be offered in people’s homes alongside the prayer walking ministry. The Women’s Prayer Breakfast was re-launched in the autumn with a focus on prayer stations and this has been very well attended.

Our worship continues to grow and in the autumn a new evening service pattern was introduced with the second, third and fourth Sunday Encounter… worship. Encounter… is led by a team headed up by Joel & Kate Gowen and includes worship, teaching, prayer ministry, communion, coffee and cake. The choir, which began in 2012 and sings on the third Sunday, continues to thrive, and we are grateful to all those who help lead our worship as singers and musicians Sunday by Sunday. Thanks are also due to those who serve as vergers, on the welcome teams, coffee rota and the audio/visual team. The Pathfinders and Crossfire youth groups continued to lead evening services at the beginning of each month and there was a Switched On afternoon service once a quarter for families with young children including the ‘Glitter and Glo’ event in October. Services and events at major festivals continue to be very well supported and in November we welcomed Archdeacon David Lowman to preach at the Remembrance Day service. During the year the Playschool and Baddow Hall Infant and Junior schools were welcomed to St Mary’s. We also hosted the J’s Hospice carol service and service of lights at Christmas.

During the autumn new areas of outreach were launched. Open The Book is a team of church members led by the curate sharing Bible stories in assemblies at Baddow Hall Infant and Junior schools on a fortnightly basis. Church members began to explore possible areas of ‘social justice’ ministry. The church has a monthly Fairtrade stall and for the last couple of years has supported the Chelmsford Foodbank with Harvest collections and there is now a regular collection for this work. Work began on the possibility of St Mary’s becoming a Foodbank distribution centre and potentially a credit union service point in partnership with Savers. It is hoped these initial plans will come to fruition in 2014. Coffee Pot and Café Club remain important areas of service to the wider community and the church remains open on Thursday and Friday lunchtimes for visitors.

The Mission Committee met regularly throughout the year. St Mary’s continues to support the work of mission through a variety of agencies at home and abroad, with 11% of the church’s income set aside for this work. During the year monthly mission focus spots took place in the morning services, with contributions from visiting speakers and church members. The annual collections for the work of The Children’s Society and Christian Aid were held alongside other regular activities including the monthly ‘packing’ for Mid-Africa Concern. Children’s and Youth ministry continue to play a central role in the life of St Mary. Powerhouse meets three Sundays a month and an all-age service is held on the fourth Sunday in the morning. The Pathfinders meet Sunday evenings and for other occasional events including a weekend camp. Crossfire meets every other Wednesday evening. Members of St Mary’s attended summer camps as members and leaders. The Toddler Groups and Playschool continued to thrive and the summer Holiday Club, on the theme of an Ocean Cruise, was once again a great success. We welcomed our local Scout group for a quarterly parade service. We are grateful to the whole team of people serving in this important area of our church ministry and mission.

The maintenance and development of our buildings remains a challenge. However, during 2013 under the leadership of Les Worley and Matthew Johnson a large team was mobilised to undertake building repairs, cleaning and redecoration through a series of ‘works days’. These days have proved highly effective in addressing outstanding works and bringing our buildings to a state of good repair. We are thankful for the large team who helped with this work and for those who regularly clean the church and for the flower arrangers. We remain grateful to Harry Marsh for his work in liaising with the City Council regarding their responsibilities for the maintenance of the churchyard and for his sterling work in helping to address the difficult area of chancel repair liabilities. Looking forward more work needs to be done on how we can ensure that our buildings serve our priorities in mission and ministry to the village of Great Baddow.

We praise God for all that he has done for us during 2013 and look forward to all he is calling us to in his service in 2014.

St Paul’s:

St Paul’s has continued to be a church that serves the local community and enables all to come and worship God.

Our pattern of weekly worship has changed in shape during the year as we seek to provide a style of worship that is accessible to all and able to be resourced well. The service starts at 10am for those who prefer a more creative engagement with Scripture, at 10.30 other worshippers join the service for us all to meet with God through prayer, Holy Communion alternate weeks and fellowship over coffee. The third part of the service provides an opportunity for a more reflective engagement with Scripture. The service has been well received. We have been delighted to welcome a regular group of adults with learning difficulties who come to this service with their carer. Our 5th Sunday Creative Prayer service continues to grow. This is followed by brunch giving people the opportunity to get to know other members of the church over a delicious meal.

At Easter time we set up an Easter Labyrinth as part of the churches working together in Great Baddow to help people explore ways to pray. The Labyrinth was also visited by Years 4 and 5 of the two local primary schools. Children came to St Paul’s to find out about the Easter story through a series of interactive stations, helping them relate the story to issues we face today. This was well received by the schools, who commented on how much it had helped the children gain a better understanding of Easter.

We again held a Passover Meal on Maundy Thursday which enabled all ages within the church to come together to remember the events of Holy Week. As a church on Good Friday we joined with other churches in the town for the annual Walk of Witness and followed this with a quiet reflective service focusing on objects used in the crucifixion and what they might mean for us Our Easter celebrations were completed with a lively All-Age service on Easter Sunday.

As usual there was a variety of services over the Christmas period including a traditional candlelit carol service with our music group performing two songs. On Christmas Eve we held our Crib service and were encouraged to see some new families come along to that. Leading up to Christmas, we also welcomed both Larkrise and Beehive Lane Schools to St Paul’s for their Junior Carol Services and a special time was had in both services telling the Christmas story with many families from our local community visiting. We also joined with St Mary’s church for a re-enactment of the Christmas story around the Parish and were involved in serving the community at the Lathcoats Farm Shop Nativity Play. We also ran a morning’s Christmas holiday club for children in the community which was enjoyed by those who came. Early in November, we ran a successful afternoon packing shoeboxes full of gifts for children less fortunate than ourselves. We gave 88 boxes to the charity Operation Christmas Child; also some church members went along to the warehouse to give time to help sort the boxes ready to be sent to other countries.

St Paul’s continues to provide opportunities to reach out to our local community and serve the needs of people living in our locality. Our weekly Mums and Toddlers group continues to be very popular and provides a welcoming place for children to play and parents to socialise and support one another. Mind the Gap, our youth club for children aged 8-12 continues to be enjoyed by those who come. We run on a Sunday evening during term-time and over the year have had fun doing a variety of crafts, playing different sports, going bowling and chatting with friends. Mind the Gap continues to be a place where children can meet people from other schools who live in our community. We also run a weekly group called Loftineers which serves the retired members of our community. Although a small group, for those that come this provides a place for building friendships and supporting each other. The variety of activities is enjoyed by all who come.

During the Summer Holidays we again ran Junior Heroes, a week long holiday club for primary aged children. The teaching was based on stories of young people in the Bible who had been a hero for Jesus. Great fun was had learning new Bible stories, playing games, singing, and making a wide variety of crafts. The club was fully booked with some new children coming along. We also had a special picnic which was well attended and helped to build initial friendship with families in our community.

We continue as a church to have strong links with our local schools through conducting regular school assemblies and having the children visit the church as part of their RE curriculum. Annabel continued to have the opportunity to offer pastoral support to Larkrise school on a weekly basis. This support is appreciated by the school and continued to be welcomed. Members of the church also serve as governors and on PTA committees which is an important part of our mission within the community.

This year we have continued to encourage the growth of our five church fellowship groups. These are an important place for members of the church to find pastoral support, friendship and the chance to grow in their faith through the study of the Bible and prayer. Some members of the church also went away together for a week to the Spring Harvest Spring Conference and enjoyed some good teaching as well as time to get to know each other better and relax.

Our links with the 26th Chelmsford Beaver, Cub and Scout group have continued to grow. The Beavers, Cubs and Scouts joined us for Pentecost Sunday and a special Remembrance Day Parade service.

Our church building continues to be a place that is regularly let to groups from our local community. We host a weekly NCT Toddler group and Diet & Fitness group. Our links with the local Children’s Centre enable us to allow them to use our building at a significantly reduced rate for a variety of groups they run to serve families with under 5’s in the community. We have also offered the use of our building at a reduced rate for some local charity groups which we continue to encourage.

Looking back it has been encouraging to see God provide for our needs in so many ways, both practical and financial.

Towards the end of the year our vicar announced that she had been appointed as Priest-in-Charge of Holy Trinity Church, Tidworth and school chaplain to The Wellington Academy. She will be starting this new post early in 2014 and St Paul’s will be entering a vacancy. Change is never easy but let us hold on to the fact that God has been faithful in the past and will continue to be with us in the future. We should remember that our God is about change - he longs to make us more like Christ and sometimes that will involve stepping out of our comfort zone. The future seems exciting with an element of apprehension, but we know that God is with us and will lead us into new pastures if we are prepared to trust him in all he does.

Meadgate: This year we celebrated the 50th anniversary of our church, so the year was interspersed with regular focus and celebration; all in all an exciting, busy and successful year.

As much as we looked to the past, we also looked to the future by starting three new groups to continue our support of young people and our community. The first is a replacement for our senior citizen Thursday club while the second, Celebrating Recovery, is a completely new group reaching out and supporting individuals with dependency issues and the third, Activate, is a school of ministry for under 18s.

The Thursday Club now meets fortnightly on the 2nd & 4th Wednesdays, and is now a lunch club following the midweek communion service, which means that we have added another midweek monthly communion to the one we have been holding already and both are followed by lunch. The new name for the club is Connection and it is usually attended by 14-22 individuals. It is supported by our pastoral and community workers in addition to other volunteers, a wonderful cook and a couple of others who give lifts to those who need them.

Celebrating Recovery has been a long time in planning and a team was put in place and the initial phase has already begun with four leaders all from the church and two others, who are happy to serve this group from outside the church, with understanding and experience of dependency issues.

Activate meets weekly on a Tuesday night, and the group is learning to connect with, grow in and serve God. All of our other clubs are in good heart including the three groups started in 2012, Two Fat Men cooking club, meeting every six weeks, with the number of guests having stabilised at 17 but sometimes has risen to over 20, still mostly coming from outside our church membership.

The 18-30 club; has met fortnightly for social activities as well as two worship and teaching trips to Soul Survivor in Watford. We have tried to increase the leadership numbers from among its members, something we are still trying to do.

Creative Hands Club continues its weekly gathering for those who are creative and would like to join others to knit, sew, create cards, etc. It has been well supported by members from both the Meadgate community and the church and during our Christmas Festival it raised a considerable amount for charity.

During the Boot Fair season at Boreham, from the beginning of April until mid October, on most Sundays Meadgate was again able to provide between four to six team members to make it possible to continue to run this outreach ministry, this venture having been entered into in partnership with five other Churches in Chelmsford.

The Thursday Café continued to meet each week during term time, with the church taking only lead role, a change from previous years as we were in partnership with the local school. The main hall in Meadgate church is transformed to function as a Parent Café, staffed by four members of our church family.

School work - the youth team still supports the School and Youth Ministry providing help in the running of two lunch-time clubs at Sandon and Great Baddow High Schools. The team vicar and the youth minister continued to lead assemblies in the local primary school.

Our Admin, Youth, community and pastoral team remained unchanged but we had three new interns starting in September 2013, one for the autumn term only whilst the other 2 continue until August 2014.

Youth: Our youth sector had an amazing year with three regular midweek meetings for different age groups, and the annual Soul Survivor summer camp.

Cafés: The term-time weekly café on Mondays has stabilised and grown, with regular guests from our community dropping in to spend time in a warm welcoming atmosphere. This is led and run by an amazing group of volunteer members of our church. Furthermore, the monthly Oasis Café on Saturdays has grown immensely with so many guests from our local community frequenting the café and becoming well-known faces. Both of these cafes have grown so much that it is now necessary to hold the monthly Saturday cafe in the main hall.

Clubs: The Wednesday Ladies Club, which has an open membership, continues to thrive and has a busy and exciting programme. Furthermore the Men’s Club has stabilised with monthly meetings (still alternating between a breakfast and a dinner on Saturdays) and a day conference at Meadgate Church organised by our Men’s group and worship band (men only) and led by Eric Delve.

School of Ministry: The evening school cohort is in its second year with 13 adults still attending; in addition there is a new morning cohort which started in October with 3 young adults. The previous cohort of both schools 2012/2013 (Morning and Evening) led a 6 day ministry trip to the town of Durres in Albania, which was an amazing and fruitful time of ministry.

Services: all our services continued to be strong and well attended, with very high numbers from our local community for Easter, Harvest and Christmas. In addition we hosted the whole of the school-children and their families for their own Easter and Christmas services.

Once again there was a Meadgate Festival - this year linked with the 50th anniversary - held in partnership with CHP and neighbourhood committee. This was a great success, being very well attended. In addition we had a Christmas Market and festival including a free hog roast, chestnuts and hot drinks, culminating in a Rocking Carol service - again well attended and enjoyed by many from the local community.

For our 50th anniversary we planned a whole year of events, starting with Bishop John in the March followed by all the previous and team vicars of Meadgate, culminating in two children and youth morning services; the first children and youth service was led by Captain Jeff Hill (in whose home the Church started all those years ago and the second was led and delivered by our Activate youth group.

9 DESIGNATED FUND

The Building Refurbishment Fund was created to finance phases 1 and 2 of the overall planned refurbishment, the second having been completed in 2005. Further repair work costing £7,500 was financed from this fund in 2013. The £2,639 balance, together with any future receipts, is effectively what remains of the £22,450 General Fund money, being 40% of the sale proceeds of a DCC owned property sold in 1995, which was lent interest-free to help this refurbishment and repair work.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013 (cont'd) Note 4a TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS Meadgate church is held on a long lease and as a dedicated building is used for church purposes. Its leasehold value is not included in these accounts but its insurance value in 2013 was £1,076,000.

Minibus bought in 2010 to be depreciated over 5 years.

The Church employed a full-time Youth Minister, two Youth Interns, and part-time staff for pastoral, community and administration work. The average number of (full-time equivalent) staff was 2 (2012: 2).

6 PAYMENTS TO TRUSTEES In addition to reimbursement of expenses to Revd Mones Farah (see note 3a), £17,085 salary was paid out for Emma Smith's employment as Youth Minister during 2013 (her husband being a connected person and a trustee).

As no Gift Aid claim was submitted for the latter part of the year, there was a need for the unrestricted General Fund to 'borrow' some of the combined bank balance which belonged to Restricted Funds. At the end of 2013 this amounted to some £3,000, hence the 'overdraft' relating to General Fund in the Balance Sheet; of which £1,809 related to cheques clearing after the year end. As was recorded for 2012, it is recognised that it is inappropriate to utilise restricted monies to support unrestricted funds, but the whole amount was cleared when the tax refund arrived in March 2014. In view of the very low rate of interest on the Barclays Bank account, there was no real loss of income involved. Steps will be taken to ensure that tax claims will be made at regular intervals during the year in future.

9 RESTRICTED FUNDS

The Building and Maintenance Fund was created for periodic renovation work. During the year £249 was spent on improvements to the audio visual system to allow better relay of services to the creche area for parents and £774 on new signage.

The Minibus Fund was set up with money donated and raised to buy a minibus for use in the community and with our youth groups, and a 17-seater was purchased after generous donations in 2010.

The Outreach and Evangelism Fund was created by an anonymous donor who has specified that the donation should be used to spread the Word in the community, and not for church fabric and buildings. In 2013 £2,000 was used to support part of the community and pastoral workers' costs (2012 nil) and £1,988 towards the cost of the summer and Christmas festivals for the community (2012 nil).
