Mothers Union, Pontesbury Branch
The Pontesbury Branch of the Mothers Union meet usually on the First Thursday in a month.
The Pontesbury branch has existed for many years and supports the work of the church. The worldwide union is active all over the world, working in very varied circumstances.
Our branch standard
Although now only a small group, members remain committed to the Aims and Objects of the Mothers Union and its role as Handmaid of the Church.
Four wedding anniversaries were celebrated in 2006, a ruby, a golden and two diamonds.
The Women's World Day of Prayer was held in St, George's, and all denominations were well represented.
There was a visit from the Diocesan president in May, and this was a much enjoyed Deanery event.
An outing to Gobowen took place in June, a friendship formed with Litchfield Diocese members ten years ago, and the day included a communion service in their church and a talk on The Donkey Sanctuary.
Colin Hurford never disappoints and his talk on the role of St Joseph in the Christmas story was though provoking.
The launch of the Longden, Annscroft, Pulverbatch and Hanwood branches was a most welcome addition to our Deanery.
There has been continued support for the Children's Society and for projects overseas and at home.

The 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

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
