Mothers Union

The Mothers' Union is a world-wide organisation founded by Mary Sumner in 1876. It is open to all who have been baptised and support the aims and objectives of the Mothers' Union.

The aims and objectives are:

• To uphold Christ's teaching on the nature of marriage and to promote its wider understanding.
• To encourage parents to bring up their children in the faith and life of the Church.
• To maintain a world-wide fellowship of Christians, united in prayer, fellowship and service.
• To promote conditions in society favourable to stable family life and the protection of children.
• To help those whose family life has met with adversity.

Our monthly meetings include speakers, a quiet afternoon, and a garden party and corporate communion three times a year before the meeting.

New members are always welcome at our afternoon or evening meetings, to join us in Christian fellowship. For more information contact the Parish Office.
