The Mothers Union here at St John’s is part of a huge world wide organisation, with 3.6 million members in 78 countries, including Iraq, where at St George’s church in Baghdad there are 1500 members - the Mothers Union is the main organisation working for the people there.
We have different types of membership; branch, for those members who can meet regularly, and diocesan, for people who are keen to be involved but find meetings on a regular basis difficult.
In Crowthorne, we have a variety of meetings, as well as helping within the church and our local community. Our prayer group meets monthly and we celebrate corporate communion on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 10am.
We are a very friendly branch and our strength is in our support for each other, so please join us.
For more information on our diocesan concerns see our website www.muoxford.co.uk. |

Once a month members of the Mothers’ Union meet to pray together for the work of the MU at Home and Abroad. Praying individually by name for each of the sick and troubled folk whose names have been requested and put up on the Notice Board in the Lady Chapelis a major part of the session.
This Notice Board is well used by St John’s congregation .Prayers are asked for on behalf of friends and family in need. Praying for the Healing of mind or body is a fundamental part of our churches’ ministry.
Unfortunately it is not always possible to follow up the outcome and requests remain on the Board for many months and more. If you have made a request in the past year or so, please check up and up-date it or remove it . If you have any recent information on any of the requests ,please add a note or tell someone .
No-one likes to remove requests, but this will have to be done in order to make more room.
In future ,it would be very helpful to the Praying Group if Prayer Requests could be Dated, Up-dated ,Removed when no longer required, and Signed if possible.
The Mother’s Union meet to pray for the sick in the Lady Chapel on the 3rd Monday in the month at 9.30am ---10am.(we finish with the Broadmoor siren!).Anyone would be very welcome to join us..
