Has a filmed message for each day in Advent from dioceses and Christian development charities. Mothers’ Union will be the featured charity on 23rd December.

This is likely to be the last posting on this website before Christmas when we celebrate the birth of Jesus into a family which faced several strains – not least the pressures on teenage parenthood for Mary and life as refugees. Where-ever you are reading this message, and whatever your circumstances, may your Christmas be blessed by God with peace and joy.
A selection of prayers from the Mothers’ Union, suitable for use on Christmas Day, are available to download here: MU_ChristmasDay_Prayers and the Mothers’ Union Christmas Message is available here: MU_Christmas_Reflection_2009
