First, make sure that you keep yourself up to date about the Mothers Union.

Connected is a twice yearly membership magazine. This new magazine brings an exciting mix of content from across the whole movement. It contains regular updates about Mothers Union projects across the globe, and the difference they make to people's lives. As well as the latest news from fellow members, we encourage our readers to look at the impact of what we do from fresh angles. |

There is also an annual Prayer Diary providing monthly reflections and creative prayer ideas, which have come from the hearts of our members around the world. The Prayer Diary is also available on-line. |

MUe

The MUe raises important revenue for the Mothers Union but every card also advertises our values. Regularly have MUe merchandise at your branch and order items through your deanery reps so that our diocese will also benefit from the sales. And don't forget to wear your badge with pride. |
