Launde Villages Mothers' Union
We have 12 members and usually meet on the 2nd Tuesday of the month.
At our meetings, as well as having a short service,
usually at the home of our leader, we often have a speaker.
Our meeting in October is on Tuesday 13th, 2.30pm
at the home of Madeleine Wang.
The speaker is Margaret Rouse
and she will be talking about the various MU banners around the Diocese.
This is the talk postponed from September.
New members are most welcome, please telephone Madeleine on 07880665682.
It was a wonderful occasion on Sunday the 9th of August when Leicester Cathedral hosted a service to celebrate the Mothers’ Union’s 150th Anniversary.
The MU is the largest volunteer network in the Anglican Church, active in 64 dioceses across Britain and Ireland. This woman-led Christian movement is dedicated to ending poverty, violence, and social injustice in Britain and around the world.
This 150th anniversary allows us to reflect with gratitude on the dedication of generations of members who have helped the Mothers’ Union become both the worldwide and local movement it is today.
A huge thank you to all who supported our coffee morning in July.
We raised £312 for the work of the MU.
Special thanks to Uel and Paula Sandford
who generously offered their lovely house and garden as the venue.
Sunshine, cakes, coffee and fellowship were enjoyed by all
