Mothers Union

 

ANGLICAN MOTHERS UNION AUSTRALIA

AMUA is often fondly referred to as MU and our local branch is the Aspley/Albany Creek Branch.  We meet monthly at the church and all are welcome, not just mothers.

We are part of a worldwide fellowship of Christians united in prayer and worship, and a missionary agency of the Anglican Church of Australia.  A very informative website www.mothersunion.org.au   provides details about our organisation and its various activities in Australia.

To see information about other international and worldwide MU activities go to www.mothersunion.org

For current meeting time and contact person details, please phone the Parish Office on 32633518.
