Mothers Union in Blackburn Diocese

Members from Pendle joined 4000 Mothers' Union Members at the Portman Road Football Stadium, Ipswich for this service of welcome and celebration prior to the Mothers' Union Annual General Meeting. 

The size of the venue created an atmosphere of celebration and expectation, large screens ensured that everyone could see what was happening on the central stage. The Hazel wood Dancers, Cantate Youth Choir and St Edmundbury Cathedral Choir all added to the atmosphere of celebration.

The AGM was a 'fixture' of two 'halves' with 'team talks' from Unit Co-ordinators from Mary Sumner House encouraging  and inspiring members in their work for MU. 

In an interesting, 'action replay' Diane Louise Jordan known for her role in 'Songs of Praise' hosted live interviews showing how the Mothers' Union is working towards the Millennium Development Goal.

The 'final whistle' was an act of worship led by the Rt Rev Richard Inwood, Bishop of Redford.

The members from Pendle who went along to this event are full of praise for the inspiration they received from recognising that, we are all working as part of a large and effective worldwide organisation. Enquiries for next years AGM in Dublin are being made. Will you be there?
