On Tuesday 23 August, we celebrated the Mothers’ Union 140th Anniversary with a splendid service here at St Mary’s. Some 170 members from all over Bath and Wells attended the service which began with a picnic in the church grounds and a procession through the town. Thank you to all who helped and all who joined us to make such a memorable occasion. Particular thanks to Margaret Hendy MU Diocesan President and the Trustees, Ann Hall, local Deanery Leader and Rowena Merson, Taunton Archdeaconry leader; to our flower ladies, our organist Miles, Ruth the violinist, our sacristan team, Tim our caretaker, our Rev Rod Corke, Rev Judith Abbott MU Chaplain and finally to those who stayed on after the celebration to help clear up.
