Bishop Sophie's Coffee Morning
Bishop Sophie kindly hosted a coffee morning recently at Bishop’s House for Mothers’ Union members to mark Mothers’ Union 150th anniversary year.
Bishop Sophie, an ardent supporter of Mothers’ Union, spoke about her experience of Mothers’ Union work overseas and the impact its projects and initiatives continue to have in transforming the communities it serves.
Bishop Sophie was also aware of the Mothers’ Union elections process due to take place next year and encouraged members to discern what this might mean to them personally. Bishop Sophie then concluded her welcome with hopeful and inspiring prayers for Mothers’ Union as a whole.
The Mothers’ Union display boards proved popular, as did the historical timeline folder.
All in all, a great morning of fellowship only surpassed by Bishop Sophie’s warm welcome and delicious tea and cake.
