    Was Happy and Proud to Welcome all the Delegates and Guests to our Loving Lord, We thank you for your love so freely given to us all. We pray for families around the world. Bless the work of the Mothers’ Union as we seek to share your love through the encouragement, strengthening and support of marriage and family life. Empowered by your Spirit, may we be united in prayer and worship, and in love and service reach out as your hands across the world. In Jesus’ name. Amen Registered Charity No. 249878 Our President’s Autumn Letter... Then God said, ‘Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness.' Genesis 1:26 Dear friends, This summer we spent a week in Derbyshire with all the family, four married children and eight grandchildren. Tony's parents were even able to join us for one day. We were amused by the family likenesses that emerged, in looks, mannerisms and attitudes whether it was in cooking, playing board games or general tidiness/untidiness. Even our 9 year old granddaughter commented on how much 'Grandpa looks like Great-grandpa.' I was reminded of Jane Fearnley-Whittingstall's comment in her address at the General Meeting on the value of cousins keeping up with each other even if they don't live nearby. Our family identity is important to us. We are fascinated by family trees, 'Who do you think you are?' programmes etc. Family life gives children a sense of belonging and that is one of the reasons Mothers' Union is passionate about strengthening families.
