Faith
& Policy
Did you know that
Mothers' Union has special consultative status at the United Nations?
Representatives from Mothers' Union attend the meetings of the United
Nations Commission on the Status of Women. During February our representatives
have been to New York for a meeting discussing gender issues. The opinions
of Mothers' Union are greatly appreciated and used to help the United
Nations as they seek to improve the status of women throughout the world.
Quiet Days
Our next Quiet Day on Monday 15th March, which will be held at Shallowford
House, will focus on 'The Father Heart of God'. See the events page for
details of how to apply for a place.
Resources

for church use. Baptism, Marriage and Premature Baby prayer cards and
also services for Lady Day (25th March) and Mothering Sunday (14th March).

Loving Lord,
We thank you for your love so freely given to us all.
We pray for families around the world.
Bless the work of the Mothers' Union
as we seek to share your love through the encouragement,
strengthening and support of marriage and family life.
Empowered by your Spirit,

as your hands across the world.
In Jesus' name.
Amen.
