Prayer Chain – This is made
up of members who will pray for anyone suffering illness or who has
a particular problem. Short or long term, there is such a feeling of
support to know someone is praying for you. It really does make a difference
.
Wave of Prayer - The wave of prayer is a calendar of
prayer in which the branches and dioceses of the Mothers’ Union
worldwide pray for each other. We appear in the Wave of Prayer during
October 11th-15th along with
Esan, Ikka, Kajiado, Mauritius and Seychelles.

Mothers’ Union Prayer
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,
may we be united in prayer and worship,
and in love and service reach out
as your hands across the world.
In Jesus' name.
AMEN
Mary Sumner's Personal Prayer
All this day, O Lord, let me touch as many lives as
possible for thee; and every life I touch, do thou
by thy Spirit quicken, whether through the word I
speak, the prayer I breathe, or the life I live.
AMEN
