The pandemic has reminded us of our relatedness to the world and to other
people. Bev Jullien CEO says: “We have learned the lessons from COVID-19,
including that, meeting the standards people expect of charity – humility, decency, dignity, commitment, accountability – is vitally important to the future of Mothers’ Union.”
We recognise that its effects will continue to be felt across the world throughout
2021, so as people seek to come to terms with loss of all kinds, from bereavement
to loss of livelihood, relationships, wellbeing and other challenges, MU’s work of
rebuilding hope and confidence will be vital.

“Rebuilding hope and confidence” theme for 2021

“Building Hope and Confidence Together”  MSH themed resources for 2020 aim to help us live out our faith to build hope and confidence in ourselves as well as those we support, and to nurture our faith as we continue to walk forward in step with God.

“Listen, observe, act – in step with God.”  2019 is a year of new beginnings for Mothers’ Union, with the start of the next triennium, many new officers appointed at all levels of service and updated constitution and structures. It is also the year which sees the coming together of our global conversations to prayerfully inform our way forward as a movement. As we gain clarity about our God-given purpose and direction in both local and global context we will be energised and inspired for what lies ahead. As the future unfolds we will continue to listen and observe in order to act with insight and integrity; neither running ahead nor lagging behind, but always in step with God.

Our theme resources for 2019 have been created both to help engagement in the continuing global listening process and to build faith for the future.
