Mothers' Union

Llantwit Major's branch of the world-wide movement.

 

Mothers’ Union is a global Christian movement working since 1876 with people of all faiths and none to develop communities, strengthen families and advocate for change.

 Around the world our 4 million  members are active in 84 countries and work tirelessly to serve their communities whilst offering Christian care for families, regardless of faith or background.

Ending violence, ending poverty, ending injustice. We are a truly worldwide Christian movement.

The St. Illtud's branch of the MU is part of the Llandaff Diocesan Mothers' Union.

Meeting October 6th, Quiet Day

 This will be our Quiet Day at All Saints, Southerndown  from 10.00am to 3.00pm. It will be led by Richard and Storm Hann. As usual it will be divided into 3 sections so that you can join or leave if you are unable to stay for the whole time. Tea and coffee will be provided and as usual you will need to bring a packed lunch.

Mid day Prayers

Prayer is a very important part of MU life. Every day at Mid Day MU members, wherever they are,  pray. Our prayers change thoughout the year focussing on topics we are particularly concerned about at the time.
The MU Facebook page has live prayers at Noon (London time) every day.
For those of you who would like to pray at home, our July Mid Day Prayers can be found  here

On Sunday August the 9th we celebrated Mary Sumner Day at the 9.30 Eucharist at St Illtud's. During the service our repaired Banner was rededicated and also rededicated ourselves to the work of the Mother's Union. Here is a photo of our renovated Banner with the very talented people who repaired it for us.

 

Food Bank Reminder

We are supporting our local Food Bank especially with toiletries (for children, men and women) and sanitary products. These can be brought to church at any time and placed in the Food Bank boxes. Obviously all our gifts to the foodbank are very welcome but these particular items are much needed.

Tiny Treasure Seekers

 MU Members are helping to support St Illtud's work with children. If you are able to help with our commitment to support Tiny Treasure Seekers by serving refreshments and chatting to Mums and Carers, please ask about how you can become involved. 

"Behind Closed Doors" exhibition.

In the summer of 2024 we hosted the  "Behind Closed Doors" exhibition in St Illtud's during the first two weeks of July. This exhibition explores the issue of domestic violence and invites us to think about ways in which we can help to address this in our community. It then moved on to the National Eisteddfod in Pontypridd and will be in various churches around the Diocese after that. 
We are hoping to host this again.
