Holy Trinity Church Mothers Union – Report for 2024

Holy Trinity Mothers Union group continues to be the largest in the Lancaster, Morecambe and Tunstall Deanery and one of the largest in the Diocese with our numbers remaining at 50.

In 2024 we had a full Programme which included Corporate Worship on the first Wednesday of the month, monthly meetings with Guest Speakers, events and activities. Through these events such as our Annual Strawberry Tea and Community Centre Coffee Mornings we raised £2,536 which went to supporting MU Charities. Some of the money went to Overseas and the Relief Fund but we also supported more local projects –

AFIA (the MU caravan which gives families facing hardship the opportunity of a week’s holiday), gifts for prisoners’ families in Lancaster Prison, pyjamas and food items for the Womens’ Refuge as part of the national MU campaign against Gender based Violence. Our members also very generously and independently donated hundreds of items for the Olive Tree Foodbank in Lancaster ( not an official MU charity)

A highlight of the year was hosting the annual Mary Sumner Day Service (our MU founder) for the Archdeaconry last August when along with 2 new members of our own, Bishop Jill was also enrolled as an MU member.

We continue to thrive as a Church group and will always welcome new members.
