This was a truly wonderful service to mark the 150th Anniversary of Mothers’ Union. There were some fabulous speakers and Bishop Mark Davies concluded the service very movingly … and wearing his MU cuff links 🫶🙏🏼❤️🎉

🎉 Members and supporters of Mothers' Union from across the Diocese of Manchester gathered at Manchester Cathedral on Mary Sumner Day to celebrate the organisation’s 150th anniversary. The service was one of many events taking place throughout this anniversary year, both across the diocese and around the world.

The Rt Revd Mark Davies, Bishop of Middleton, commissioned two new trustees during the service, which also featured prayers, worship and the lighting of candles representing Mothers’ Union's local, regional and global connections.

A colourful jigsaw display, created by branches from across the diocese, reflected the way individual gifts, prayers and acts of service combine to support Mothers’ Union's mission in local communities and across the world.

With huge thanks to all who gave their time and helped out, some familiar faces and new ones too. The sun shone and we were able to make a big impact in what is likely to be the Diocese second largest churchyard. Thank you to all.
Revd Ian and the Churchyard Team.
