Mothers' Union in the Diocese of St Edmundsbury & Ipswich covers Suffolk (excluding Lowestoft)
Welcome to Mothers’ Union in the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich which covers the county of Suffolk.
Across the diocese we have around 600 members, with thirty groups that meet whether as a branch or fellowship group. Our members serve their churches and communities with projects that help and support local families; coming together in fellowship to pray, fundraise, campaign, and share.
The work and projects undertaken by Mothers' Union members are underpinned by prayer. There are many different forms that are used - quiet days, our emergency prayer chain, prayer groups, members join for midday prayer each day and the Wave of Prayer. Our diocese is linked with four overseas dioceses - Lake Malawi in Malawi, Byumba in Rwanda, Jalingo in Nigeria and Lucknow in India.
Membership is open to all who have been baptised. If you have not yet been baptised but are considering membership, please get in touch.
Our work:
We keep in touch and up to date with the work of Mothers’ Union worldwide through the Mothers' Union central magazine Connected and Mothers’ Union prayer diary. Contact us to learn more about getting involved and membership.
One of the most cost-effective literacy programmes in the world. We train community volunteers as literacy facilitators, who are then equipped to run literacy circles in their own community.
