Mothers Union is a worldwide Christian organisation with almost 4 million members in 76 countries. Membership is open to anyone who has been baptised and who agrees with the Aim & Objectives of the Mothers Union, so our membership includes men and women, young or old, married or single, parent or not. Despite our worldwide strength and representation at global level, we are also a grassroots organisation, hence the phrase that Mothers Union is around the world, and around the corner.

Flowers at Thornton Dale
All Saints' Church, Thornton Dale, held a Flower Festival recently. One of the arrangements was done by Leny Todd and Cathie Hather on behalf of the Mothers' Union branch, based on the theme of Mary Sumner's personal prayer. I append a photograph, from which you will see that the colours were chosen to pick up those of the kneelers made by Mothers' Union and other church members some years ago. A copy of the prayer was also displayed.
Of course, on the Saturday evening, many members were among the audience in the church who enjoyed an excellent concert by the Staxton Singers, with a strong bass line of gentlemen including our own T.J!

And I thoroughly enjoyed the evening's concert - especially the glass of wine on a very hot evening! TJ
