WELCOME TO GUILDFORD CATHEDRAL FOR THE ANNUAL MOTHERS’ UNION SERVICE TO CELEBRATE LADY DAY. 25 March 2023, 11am
The Principal Feast Day on 25 March - The Annunciation of our Lord to the Blessed Virgin Mary – has traditionally been of great significance to the Mother’s Union. It is the day on which the Church celebrates the visit of the Angel Gabriel to Mary, sent by God to give her the news that she had found favour with God, and was to bear a son. Mary’s son was to be named Jesus, and would be called the ‘Son of the Most High’.
As we join together in worship today, we remember our members throughout the world who are celebrating this day with us and give thanks for the work of the Mothers’ Union worldwide. We send our special thanks and love to our indoor members for their support and prayers.
We are very grateful to the Right Reverend Andrew Watson, Bishop of Guildford, who is presiding and preaching at the service today.
You may wish to pray in a few moments of silence before our service begins: Our Theme is “Transformation Now”.
