Mid-Year Devotions
Of the whole Old Testament, there is hardly a passage more famous than Psalm 23 – and with good reason.
It captures in just a few words the very heart of our relationship with God.
It is certainly worth learning off by heart and frequently meditating on it.
In these devotions, we move from sentence to sentence of the Psalm,
thinking about what it means for us and what it will mean for us.
Congratulations Laurel
How beautiful the love that women give,
How strong the faith that women share,
How gentle the hands of women prayer,
How precious is the time in which we live.
These are the words, written by Mary Sumner House, that Laurel Brook
has kept close to her heart since she found them in a greeting card many years ago.

Easter Meditations
Welcome HRH Duchess of Edinburgh
As our new patron, Her Royal Highness, The Duchess of Edinburgh, is committed to helping strengthen families and communities to deal with issues that impact them.
Mothers’ Union has had the privilege of enjoying royal patronage since its foundation in 1876, and we are delighted, as we approach our 150th Anniversary in 2026, that Her Royal Highness, The Duchess of Edinburgh, has accepted the invitation to continue this tradition.
“We are honoured that Her Royal Highness has chosen to join us as patron,” says Mothers’ Union Worldwide President, Kathleen Snow. “The Duchess will bring strength and inspiration for the work we all do. We are especially grateful for Her Royal Highness’s experience and commitment to championing the most marginalised, particularly those who are impacted by violence and abuse in conflict, a cause we are passionate about, because conflict disproportionately affects women and children. As a woman-led movement, we also greatly welcome The Duchess’s commitment to promoting the development of women into leadership.”
