Mothers’ Union is a Worldwide Christian organisation founded in 1876 by Mary Sumner who was the wife of a Rector in Hampshire. The aim was to support local women and later, to give voice to the disadvantaged whilst addressing wider social issues.
Today, there are Mothers’ Union branches in 83 countries with 4 million members worldwide. The focus of many groups is to help communities change their lives for the better by working to combat poverty, injustice, inequality and violence. Prayer is at the heart of the M.U. mission.
Our branch at St. Maragret’s will be 90 years old in 2025. We have 15 members and meet at least once a month for fellowship and support. We also donate to local good causes, are involved in many church events, be it baking, decorating a Christmas tree in M.U. colours or, flower arranging.
If you would like to know more, Joyce Beresford would be delighted to let you know what is going on, and how you can become involved. Alternatively, you can email blade2861@gmail.com
