Praying for couples

By MUe | Published: October 2, 2012

Prayer is at the heart of all that Mothers’ Union is and does. Many members, who may not have the time, or perhaps are unable to be practically involved in supporting couples, commit to pray for them.

These members, along with parishioners, are given the names of the couples (once permission has been obtained from the couple themselves) and then commit to pray for the couple as they prepare for their marriage. The members also present a candle and card to the couple for their wedding and often continue to pray afterwards too.

(This initiative is also part of the Cana Ministry run by Mothers’ Union in the Diocese of Hereford).

  • An Inspired idea:
    Engaged couples add their names and the date of their wedding to a prayer tree so that members can then pray for them.

    "Looking through the Inspired pages I really was ‘inspired’ to read about the variety of activities with which Mothers’ Union members are involved; some of them really simple so that even the smallest branches could take them on.

    Just imagine if every branch was ‘inspired’ to take up one thing – what an impact that would have!"
