The Mothers' Union has over 4 million members in 80 countries, and has 5 objectives:
- To uphold Christ’s teaching on the nature of marriage and to promote its wider understanding.
- To encourage parents to bring up children in the faith and life of the Church.
- To maintain a worldwide fellowship of Christians united in prayer and worship.
- To promote conditions in society favourable to stable family life.
- To help those whose family life has met with adversity.
Our local group in Rothley usually meets in the Old School Rooms at 2.00pm on the first Tuesday of every month. We have a short service, listen to a speaker and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee together. Visitors are always welcome. The following forthcoming events in our 2020 programme are published in a leaflet available in church and also in the the church weekly notice sheet:
