The Mothers union is an Anglican organization,
which promotes the well being of families worldwide.
We achieve this by
·
Developing
prayer and spiritual growth in families
·
Studying
and reflecting on family life and its place in society
·
Resourcing
our members to take practical action to improve conditions for families both
nationally and in the communities in which they live.

Mothers' Union:
from Mary Gray
We had a good day for our Garden Party – not too hot and
only three spots of rain! We have had many people saying what a nice party it
was. Altogether with various donations,
the Bring and Buy stall and the raffle we made exactly £100 which will be sent
to Mothers’ Union charities. Thank you
Pauline for hosting the party and thank you everyone who in any way helped by
donating food, by giving donations and by being there.
As I write we are working up our appetites, firstly for St.
James the Great’s Safari supper on 14th July, to which five of us
are going, then on Tuesday 20th eight of us are attending Great St.
Mary’s Strawberry tea and on the 27th four of us will attend Holy
Trinity’s Garden Party.
We have had a response to our plea for someone to take over
the running of the Prayer Group. Joan
Lee will take charge, so thankyou Joan,
It will take place on each third Tuesday – please note the change of day
– at 2.15pm so please contact Joan 321671 for the venue. This will start again in September as the
third Tuesday clashes with Holy Trinity’s Garden Party in July and in August we
always take a break.
We do not have an official meeting in August but we still
have our Corporate Mass on the first Wednesday followed as usual by
T&C. On the 9th August
which is Mary Sumner Day Holy Trinity are arranging a coach trip to Ely with a
conducted tour around the Cathedral.
Several of us have already booked for this trip
September brings us to our next meeting when Joan is giving
us a talk and hopefully photographs of Joan’s Journeys. I hope as many of us as possible will stay
to hear her talk.
Lastly – but by no means least! – please remember Kath
Barker in your prayers and bear in mind any other members who have been ill or
who have had operations, especially Pam Shilitto who is recovering from her
knee replacement – keep doing the exercises Pam! And Doris Price who has
recently been in hospital.
