The Mothers Union

1972. by the Reverend Houghton. The Mothers Union meet at the Vicarage the 4th Thursday every month at 6.30 and the Young Wives Club at 8pm the 3rd Monday of every month - again at the Vicarage. Rev. B F Houghton

The Parish Magazine November 1955. Extract from the vicar's letter :----Mothers’ Union. It was encouraging that so many of our members were able to accept the invitation of the Princes Risborough Branch to be present at the dedication of their new Banner on 25th October. Opportunities for meeting members of other branches. does much to deepen and encourage the spirit of fellowship and it is hoped that it may be possible to arrange similar gatherings in the future. In the same week we had our monthly meeting and it is surely a sign of life that so many were there. Everyone enjoyed Mrs. Herher'’s visit but little did we realise that it was her last. At the end of the week we heard of her sudden collapse and death on the Saturday. It has come as a shock to us all, especially having seen her so recently and our sympathy and prayer go out to her son Peter in his sudden and unexpected loss

The meeting in November is on Thursday, 24h November at the Vicarage at 3pm. The speaker is Mrs. McCurry, of Sands. This is Mrs. McCurry’s first visit to us, so we hope there will be a good gathering of members to welcome her.

The December meeting is on Thursday, 15th December. There will be a Service in Church at 3pm., followed by tea at the Vicarage. We hope that our members will do their best to come to this.

Dear Editor,

After nearly eight years I am hoping those many friends who have been bringing tied paper to the hut at the vicarage will continue to do so.

We have saved over fifty tons with about £320 profit for the church, and charities through The Mothers Union.

Kitty Houghton ran the Mothers Union in Lacey Green. There is no record of it after Bernard and Kitty left.
