Sarah Wyman, Our New Bristol President


Hello! I’m Sarah Wyman MU Bristol's new Diocesan President. I expect most of you know me, or of me because of my bright stripy socks.


I have been one of the Vice-Presidents while Jacky was President and I have met a lot of you. I must admit it is with trepidation I take this post as Jacky has done a wonderful job and I think she is a hard act to follow.


I live North East of Malmesbury and I am an Associate Minister in Braydon Brook Benefice. I have a husband and two adult children who live across the country.


As Mother’s Union in Bristol Diocese, we have an exciting time ahead.

In 2026 the Mother’s Union will be celebrating 150 years, so this year we will be thinking about what we as a Diocese can do.


We are also joining closer to meeting fellow people from Mother’s Union in our South West Cluster group (8 Dioceses - Bath and Wells, Bristol, Exeter, Gloucester, Portsmouth, Salisbury, Truro, Winchester) and hopefully we can show them what we do and they can do likewise.


I would like to reorganise our communications so that everyone has access to what is going on in our diocese and in the MU elsewhere. It is humbling to think that we make a major positive contribution to people’s lives not only in our diocese with the many projects we support and the things we do; but also across the world where many are struggling.


SO, thank you everyone for what you do, whether through the prayers you say or the actions you do. We need both, so thank you and may God bless you all and give you the wisdom to see where you fit in. Amen.



 
 
 

Sewing Machines



A massive thank you, to members of the  Mothers' Union in Downend, who together with a generous donation, from an individual MU member, has enabled us to provide three much needed sewing machines for the Vocational Training Centre at Atutur CDC. In addition, two machines for individuals, who have completed their training plus materials, threads etc. The training centre trains vulnerable young people, often orphans, who are responsible for younger siblings etc This has enabled a sustainable future for young people, together with their dependents. We are so grateful to the support of our Mothers' Union and their kind, generous hearts, for those less fortunate than ourselves.


May God bless all our supporters richly at this Holy Christmas time.
