|Back in early|2020 the Abbey unveiled<br>its Mission Action Plan which set our priorities<br>over the following<br>5 years, pursuing|
|our vision by focusing m the following<br>areas:||
||Thanksgiving<br>Worshiping<br>and praying|
||Telling<br>Proclaiming<br>the Gospel|
||Teaching<br>Growing<br>as followers ofJesus|
||Tending<br>Caring as a church<br>family|

||Treasuring<br>Sustaining<br>and renewing<br>creation|
|The PCC cerned<br>forward<br>into 2021 and beyond into 2022 the goals set under each ofthose headings,<br>as follows:||
|Thanksgiving|DEEPEN ABBEYPRAYER LIFE;Prayer meetings<br>renewed (eg.first Friday and last Saturday eschmonth);|

|In March 2023 the PCC carried out a progress<br>review ofthe Mission Action Plan and a revised set of priority||
|actions have been agreed for 2023 and 2024.||
|Electoral Roll and average weekly attendance||
|The number ofpersons on the electoral roll as at 31 December 2022 was 456, compared<br>with 447 at the end ofthe previous<br>year. This was largely<br>due to the process which<br>happens<br>every 6 years, whereby<br>all names are removed<br>from the roll and<br>everyone<br>has to reapply.<br>The average<br>weekly<br>attendances<br>at services, including<br>visitors,<br>during<br>the year was 331(2021—||
|321).||
