Prayer trees

By MUe | Published: October 2, 2012

As people find out that Mothers’ Union is a Christian faith based agency, caring for the family, they often ask us to pray for them.

At Wedding Fairs, members from the Diocese of Norwich invite couples who are preparing for their marriage to write down their prayer request on blank cards which they provide, and then tie their prayer to a branch on a tree.

At the end of the day, these cards are given to members who will then pray for the couples.

This great idea would work in many other contexts too.

  • 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!"
