MOTHER’S UNION

Newent with Gorsley branch of the Mothers’ Union is very active with a full programme throughout the year.

Our Focus:

Promoting stable marriage and family life. Mothers’ Union’s aim is to be transformational. Our worldwide fellowship of over four million members brings Christian care to families of all kinds. The grassroots nature of our locally-based membership means that the focus of Mothers’ Union is on promoting marriage and building stable family life within local communities. This care is delivered through our three strategic steps as we:

  • Pray for relationships to be flourishing and loving.
  • Enable development of all kinds: economic, relational and personal so that family life is strengthened.
  • Campaign for social justice for those on the margins and for greater recognition of the value of stable family life.

All meetings are held at St. Mary’s Church Rooms at 2.00pm unless stated otherwise. Annual subscriptions £33.00 including a yearly Prayer Diary and a biennial magazine.  Families First has been discontinued.

Committee:

Sue Cook,  Margaret Highton, Marion Hogg, Janet Wardale and Daphne Toner (Gorsley).
