PRAYERS for 150 Years of Mothers’ Union 2026
to be placed in the time capsule and for use in meetings
Mothers’ Union 150th Anniversary Prayer, Diocese of Newcastle
Lord of Light and Life,
we thank you for the vision of Mary Sumner,
for 150 years of The Mothers’ Union,
and for all the members who
have come and gone over this time.
Though diverse in many ways,
we are one in our desire to bring to others
the comfort and hope that should be felt by everyone.
Fill us with your Holy Spirit
that we may live in the ways of Mary Sumner,
with compassion and commitment.
Be our beacon of light as we journey on,
and help us to spread love, joy and peace
throughout this diocese and across the world;
in Jesus’ name,
Amen.
Mothers Union 150th Anniversary Provincial Prayer for the Province of York
Lord of all life,
we give you thanks for the 150th anniversary of the Mothers’ Union.
We bless you for the vision of Mary Sumner
to share the love of Jesus in support of family life.
We praise you for the mission and service
of the Mother’s Union across the world.
As we continue in the vision of our founder in this land,
we especially offer to you our work of outreach in prisons
and campaigns against domestic abuse,
gender-based violence and modern slavery.
We pray that you will pour out your Spirit upon us,
to bless, renew and refresh
the work of the Mothers’ Union in the Province of York.
Together and dispersed, may we bring glory to Jesus
and hope to our communities.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
