Anglesey Group Mothers' Union

Our Mothers' Union meeting in March welcomed back Susan Baker who gave amost relaxed and interesting talk on Parenting in the Community. The programmecelebrates its 10 year anniversary on 12th May in Haddenham Church Hall. Susan started by explained the progress and growth of the Mothers' Union Parenting Programme since her previous visit last year, and how a number of new facilitators are currently being trained throughout the county. Susan's presentation concentrated on the courses held for the parents of teenagers, and she explained to us that one of the most important issues to be addressed was that of listening skills. The course gives parents the chance to discuss with others everyday problems and gives support in realising they share similar hopes and fears. Susan concluded with a most appropriate and delightful poem entitled 'Listen' and a prayer for parents and grandparents. Following this our 'Spring' theme Bring and Buy Stall was held during tea.

On 6th May the Mothers' Union Deanery service will take place in Holy Trinity Church, Bottisham at 2.30pm.
