During 2016, the Mothers’ Union celebrates its 140th anniversary!
Members of the Mothers’ Union are Christians from all walks of life who join together to
carry out charitable acts and mission-focussed programmes.
Membership of Mothers’ Union isn’t passive – simply handing over a fee once a year.
Member are actively involved in a fellowship that goes right around the world. This
fellowship and the deeper engagement with their Christian faith is often described by
members as the most valuable part of membership.
Many members commit to active volunteering in local projects run or supported by
Mothers’ Union that reach out to support marriage and family life in whatever way is
most needed by the local community.
Membership of Mothers’ Union is open to all Christians baptised in the Trinity – not
just Anglicans – with members coming from diverse denominations. All members are
committed to supporting the aims and objectives of Mothers’ Union and commit to
undertake Bible reading, church worship and private prayer in their lives, including
supporting their fellow members in prayer.
Above all members discover a wealth
of friendship, the opportunity to learn,
opportunities to deepen their spiritual life
as well as to serve and to grow.
Please pray for all the members of the
Mothers’ Union, across the Diocese and
worldwide.
