The Mothers' Union

A big thank you to the Committee ladies who organised and prepared the Mary Sumner Summer Luncheon on 9 August, the anniversary of our founder’s birthday, and a thank you to all those who attended and enjoyed it and made it all worthwhile.

The Cairns and their bairns!  Last year Jane Cairns talked to us about her work as a nurse and health visitor. A while ago Sophie told us about attending a Scout Moot in Taiwan.  And now, on Tuesday, 2 September at 7.30 p.m. in the Church Room,  Hannah is going to tell us about her time in America, on a year’s work placement in a New England resort hotel.  She saw all the seasons through from hot summer, to golden fall, to snowy winter, and welcome spring.  It’ll be very interesting to hear of her impressions and experiences.

The Prayer Group meets as always on the third Saturday of the month, September 20th at 9.30 a.m. in the Church Room.  When the world in general, and our country in particular is so full of problems and woes, it is difficult to know how to help, how to make a difference, but we can by prayer power.  So please join the prayer group.  Every prayer helps.

Diaries and calendars for 2009 should have been ordered by now, but before the New Year comes Christmas, and the list for ordering Christmas cards is doing the round of members.  When it gets to you, please order and pass on as soon as possible.

Those who subscribe to Home and Family, will have received their first copy of the re-launched magazine now called Families First, designed to appeal to a wider readership, ‘encouraging strong marriage, good parenting and active faith’.  What did you think of it?  Do encourage others to read it and take it, take it and read it.
