Other Community Events
Mothers Union
Our Mothers Union is a group of women who are part of a worldwide Anglican organisation. They meet at 1pm on the second Wednesday of most months. They support one another, usually have a speaker with a socially current issue to present, and support their aims of caring for children, women and family life.
Mothers Union is a global Christian movement working with people of all faiths to develop communities, strengthen families and advocate for change.
This group is open to people of all faiths and religions, gender and age.
Contact Elizebeth Kidd on +64 9 524 9327 or tironui.kidd@xtra.co.nz to discuss and find out what months the meeting is planned.
