Hexham with Corbridge Deaneries celebrated Mary Sumner Day

Hexham with Corbridge Deaneries celebrated our founder Mary Sumner with a gathering at All Hallows Henshaw, church. After refreshments we gathered in the Church for Midday prayers.
Following this we had a very interesting talk about the church given by a former Churchwarden and current MU member Nigel Collingwood.
This was followed by a delicious lunch and much chat among the members from the combined Deaneries.
A very enjoyable day of fellowship and fun, I'm sure our founder would have approved.

Summer of Hope
As part of the MU fundraising for the Summer of Hope, Roz Glenn is doing a 10 mile walk on 22nd Sept in the Lake District. All the money raised will be used to educate women using the Literacy Circle programme, which has already made a difference in four dioceses in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This will be extended to another four dioceses in DRC. More info and donations can be found/made Click Here
Together we give the gift of hope for a brighter future.
| Following a talk to a Methodist Ladies Club at Stakeford on the History of the Mothers' Union a raffle was held, and with the generosity of the group, £200 was raised. This is to be sent to the Worldwide Literacy Fund. The prize Food Hampers were provided by members of St. Paul's, Choppington Mother's Union. |  |
