1 Comment on Mary Sumner Day Celebrations in Kettering

The Members of Kettering MU joined together to give thanks for the life of our founder Mary Sumner at a service at St. Andrews Church Kettering. During the service Hilary Whitwell, Branch Leader of St Andrews enrolled four new members and welcomed back another into Tresham Branch. This was followed by a lovely afternoon tea with cakes of course.

Just after nine p.m. Sue Merrifield, Raymond and I walked to St Peter and Paul’s Church which was lit up with MU colours. It looked magnificent. MU shines out.

What a wonderful day

Update on Helen’s 140 Mile Sponsored Walk

On a beautiful summer evening last week, when it wasn’t too hot or raining, Helen walked with Ann the branch leader, Audrey and Jenny branch members, Barbara the diocesan president and Chris a great supporter, as part of her 140 miles as for the 140th anniversary of Mothers’ Union. Helen has almost completed her target. She plans to finish on Mary Sumner Day, August 9th, with a service at Helmdon parish church.

Helen raised £941.50 in total. The lovely walks that we all had with her were a real bonus.

As you will see from the pictures there was time for all to stand and communicate with some of the local residents. Great fun.
