“May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you”

March is in many ways, a month for women as we mark International Women’s Day and Mothering Sunday. Women once were deemed the weaker sex: yet so often they have an abundance of power and strength inherent in their very being. Simply because of love! (MU prayer Diary)

In February we had our Soup Lunch and Wave of Prayer.  Joined by MU members from Westbury and Mere as well as friends from church we enjoyed a lovely lunch of soups, cheese, bread rolls, cakes, tea and coffee. Suitably replete Revd. David Hart led us in our annual Wave of Prayer; remembering the work of our fellow MU members around the world. In unity and love we link hands with our worldwide family of God. Whilst we pray for others, others are praying for us. We are remembering all that the Salisbury diocese does with Virtual Babies, Angel Tree, the holiday home at Rockley Park, Baby Bundles and the Salisbury Women’s Refuge. We prayed for those campaigning against modern day slavery and gender based violence that awareness will be raised and as a result, protection and healing will be provided. The generous donations will be used to further the work of the Virtual Baby project in Schools. Our meeting in March will hear a speaker from the Salisbury/Sudan medical link. Thursday March 6th (venue t.b.a.)

“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand “ (Isaiah 41 v 10)
