We have a great day in the Parish this Sunday. At St Augustin’s Bishop John Packer will be leading the service and at Christ Church Dorothy and Glyn will be involved in welcoming 4 new members to the Mother’s Union. We will celebrate in Christ Church the contribution Mary Sumner, the founder of the Mother’s Union, made to the Anglican Church. Mary Sumner was a woman of deep faith, with a heart for prayer and a determination to make a difference in the lives of others. She listened to God and acted upon his call. What a great example for us all. See the next notice about our Mother’s Union.
