It’s a lovely opportunity to come together, hear updates, and share in the life of our branch.This year, we are proudly working towards the Mothers’ Union Bronze Award as part of the Rise Up Against Gender Violence campaign. As part of this commitment, helpful information has now been placed in all church toilets, offering clear guidance on where anyone affected by gender‑based violence can find confidential support.We are also supporting Baby Basics, a wonderful organisation that provides essential items to families in need. If you would like to join us in this effort, each of the three churches will have a list of suggested donations. You’re also very welcome to speak to any Mothers’ Union member if you’d like to know more about the campaign or how to get involved.

We made small lavender bag gifts and the children made beautiful gift tags with leaf stars.Next month we will be seeking signs of Spring just before Lent begins.Join us on 15th February
