Mary Sumner Afternoon Tea Party for Gateway Residents
How wonderful that some 50 residents turned out to enjoy tea, cake, scones and savoury treats whilst enjoying fellowship. The fun quiz got many heads scratching and the outside games still proved popular even with the tremendous heat. It was also encouraging to see former residents return having now settled well into their new homes to share news whilst catching up with old friends.
Abseiling Challenge - They did it!
Well done to our courageous volunteers: Amy, Anne, Denise, Jenny, Karen and Harrison who abseiled down Coventry Cathedral to raise funds for Mothers' Union as part of the Mothers’ Union 150th Fundraising Challenge.

Bishop Sophie's Coffee Morning
Bishop Sophie kindly hosted a coffee morning recently at Bishop’s House for Mothers’ Union members to mark Mothers’ Union 150th anniversary year.
Bishop Sophie, an ardent supporter of Mothers’ Union, spoke about her experience of Mothers’ Union work overseas and the impact its projects and initiatives continue to have in transforming the communities it serves.
Bishop Sophie was also aware of the Mothers’ Union elections process due to take place next year and encouraged members to discern what this might mean to them personally. Bishop Sophie then concluded her welcome with hopeful and inspiring prayers for Mothers’ Union as a whole.
The Mothers’ Union display boards proved popular, as did the historical timeline folder.
All in all, a great morning of fellowship only surpassed by Bishop Sophie’s warm welcome and delicious tea and cake.
