Sunday 23 December saw a very special presentation in Church as Evelyn Curry received a certificate from the Rector on behalf of the diocesan Mothers’ Union marking 50 years of membership.\u00a0 Evelyn was then presented with a bouquet of flowers and a brooch in the shape of St Cuthbert’s Cross by Sue Elsey, the Branch leader, on behalf of the Houghton MU. \u00a0 Evelyn commented that she had seen a few changes and had gone through a few Rectors! Canon Gwilliam being the Rector when she joined.\u00a0 The Rector added that it was very appropriate that we celebrated family life and motherhood on the fourth Sunday in Advent, when the church recalls and honours the role of Mary in salvation history.\u00a0 The presentation ended with all the members of the MU standing and joining together in saying the Mothers’ Union Prayer.<\/p>\n
