Retreat 2008

Mothers' Union Scottish Provincial Retreat

March 2008

Our annual silent retreat is held at St. Mary's Monastery, Kinnoull beside Perth where we spend a couple of nights and enjoy the scenery.

In March 2008 the Retreat leader was Right Richard Inwood, Mothers' Union Central Chaplin.

The Mothers' Union Prayer

Loving Lord

We thank you for your love so freely given to us all.

We pray for families around the world.

Bless the work of the Mothers' Union as we seek to share

Your love through the encouragement, strengthening and support of marriage and family life.

Empowered by your spirit, may we be united in prayer and worship,

and in love and service reach out as your hands across the world.

In Jesus' name. Amen

 

 

Emergency Prayer Chain (EPC)

Each branch has an appointed contact person for EPC.   Prayer concerns are relayed initially by a co-ordinator, then phoned or Emailed down the chain by contacting 3 people, who in turn, pass the message on to one other branch.  The branches choose their own way of praying for those concerns, either at branch meetings, prayer groups or through a particular member.

Holding a New Born Baby

 

I held a new born baby today, Lord.

As she was placed into my arms the years

rolled back for me - this little replica of my own daughter.

 

Thank you Lord for helping my daughter

through her labour, and for giving us both this

perfect miracle of life to love and cherish.

 

From a collection of prayers, poems and reflections by Mothers' Union members in Glasgow and Galloway
