THEME FOR 2024 - TRANSFORMATION - NOW
Mothers' Union is an international Christian charity that seeks to support families of all faiths and none through practical outreach, prayer and advocating family friendly policies within both government and public life. By supporting marriage and family life, especially through times of adversity, we tackle the most urgent needs challenging relationships and communities.
Our members are not all mothers, or even all women, but are single, married, parents, grandparents or young adults who are just beginning to express their social conscience. For all 4.1 million members in 81 countries what Mothers' Union provides is a network through which they can serve Christ in their own community through prayer, financial support and actively working at grass roots level in programmes that meet local needs.
Monthly Prayer
As we share our lives together, we pray to reflect the perfect relationship between Father, Son and Spirit; perfectly loving, perfectly equal, united in total harmony. For then we will see true transformation as we value each other above ourselves. Amen.
Reflection
Christ's parable of the houses built on sand and rock highlight the importance of strong foundations in withstanding adverse conditions. In the context of relationships, for these to be stable enough to withstand adverse conditions in life, they too need strong foundations. As the meaning of the parable highlights, the ultimate foundation is faith in Christ. Like all properties, relationships sometimes need repair work or shoring up. But whether in our own relationships, or as we seek to support others, let us check that the foundations are secure before attempting to fix or improve other features.
