Mothers' Union is a Christian organisation with more than 3.6 million members in 78 countries worldwide. Whatever their individual backgrounds, members are related by a commitment to marriage and family. They give their time to help others, whether by running local projects, supporting international campaigns or fundraising.
The aim of the Mothers’ Union is the advancement of the Christian religion in the sphere of marriage and family life. In order to carry this out there are five objects.
1) To uphold Christ’s teaching on the nature of marriage and to promote its wider understanding.
2) To encourage parents to bring up their children in the faith and life of the church.
3) To maintain a worldwide fellowship of Christians, united in prayer, worship and service.
4) To promote conditions in society favourable to stable family life and the protection of children.
5) To help those whose family life has met with adversity.
Our local branch meets every second Tuesday of the month (except August) at 8pm in St Mark’s Church. For the programme please follow the link.

The Personal Prayer of Mary Sumner, founder of the Mothers’ Union
All this day, O Lord, let me touch as many lives as possible for thee; and every life I touch, do thou by thy Spirit quicken, whether through the word I speak, the prayer I breathe, or the life I live. Amen.
