Join the Mothers' Union
The Mothers’ Union is a Christian organisation with more than 3 million members in 76 countries, which promotes the well being of families worldwide.
Here at St Mary’s we have a branch of about 50 members (including single people and men). We have a programme of events which includes a monthly meeting on Thursday at 10.15 in Church House. We have talks on a wide range of subjects, frequently by someone representing a charity, sometimes historical, sometimes of a more spiritual nature. We have a good record of fund raising to provide holidays for families undergoing a difficult time and to support overseas work, particularly supporting the MU Literacy and Development Project.
You do not need to attend meetings to be a member, just to support the MU aims and objectives. This suits some of our younger members who work in the daytime. Many of our members are carrying out voluntary work with the Sunday Club, the Thursday Baby and Toddlers group and work in the Parish Primary School.
For more information phone Mary Fall (branch leader) or visit the MU website www.themothersunion.org
