MU Australia
The Mothers’ Union is a world wide organisation of women in the Anglican Church who are especially concerned with marriage, Christian family life and the welfare of children. Saint Peter’s Mothers’ Union (MU Australia) meets on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 10.00am. We have a small but active branch and meetings include worship, guest speakers, visits to gardens, picnics, social gatherings and business meetings. We participate in the World Day of Prayer and Annual Quiet Day held in different parishes in the Gold Coast. We supply Simnel cakes for Mothering Sunday and the retiring collection on that day goes towards Mothers’ Union projects. We also organise a retiring collection for the Saint Luke’s Nursing Chaplaincy (Spiritus). We attend baptisms and supply a cradle roll card and Gospel according to Saint Luke to each child and follow up each year with an anniversary card.
