✝️💙Mary Sumner - a vicar’s wife, was the founder of mothers’ Union.

Mothers’ Union is an international movement dedicated to ending poverty, violence and social injustice in communities in the UK and around the world. These aims are pursued through Prayers, Care and Practical Action. This year, MU celebrates 150 years with over 4 million members in 84 countries.

St Martin’s Mothers’ Union celebrated at the Sunday Parish Eucharist service. Members chose the hymns, did the readings (Doris and Ann), the Prayers of Intercession (Reverend Sonia) and talked about what Mothers’ Union does both nationally and locally at our branch level (Jennie). The talk concluded with a short prayer.

The flowers in church reflected our joy and happiness in celebrating Mothers’ Union 150th Anniversary on Mary Sumner Day. ✝️💙
