Here you will find news of the work of our parish branch of The Mother's Union.

Midday Prayer

God spoke light into the void
and the light is in our hands
against the darkness.

God clothed the world with sky
and we ride upon the wind
and breathe among the leaves.

God gifted us with earth
and with water in between.

We dig and float
and drink and grow
and know the power of earth and sea.

We paint and sing and work and dance
in company with God.

We share the earth with all that is
in harmonies of warm and cold,
in green and desert,
crowd and lone,
we feel the pain,
we feel the joy.

God is our mother,
God is our father,
Christ is our brother,
the Spirit is within us.

We celebrate our sharing
in the recreating of the world.

The Mother's Union throughout the country had been going for quarter of a century when this fascinating photograph (top)of the Aberaman branch was taken outside St.Margaret's Vicarage.

Vicar Martin Powell, who left Aberaman in 1909, is the brave man amongst all the ladies!

The bottom photograph is of the current Aberaman branch at the time of print - 1976.
