MOTHERS' UNION
And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
REGULAR MEETINGS
The next meeting is on Thursday 8 June, 2023 at 2.15pm in the Callister Hall on Woodacre Lane, when Aisla Read will give a talk on The Ladies of Pendle. Everyone is welcome to join us.
The Mothers’ Union is part of the worldwide missionary organisation within the Church of England, founded by Mary Sumner in 1876, and still very much alive throughout the world today.
The aim of the Mothers’ Union is the advancement of the Christian religion in the sphere of marriage and family life.
OUR OBJECTIVES
------
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, worship 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.
-------
These aims, purposes and objectives set a high standard and give a very wide remit which each member and each branch has to consider carefully in all that they do.
Much of the life and work of the Mothers' Union happens outside the formal meetings, and it is often in this witness that the strength of the Mothers' Union is to be found.
