St John's has a lively branch of the Mothers' Union, a world-wide Anglican organisation that provides practical help and advice as well as promoting spiritual development and fellowship. Despite the title, you don't have to be a woman or a mother to be part of it! Some of the activities of St John's members include support for Dumfries Women's Aid, provision of toiletries and help to people in hospital, participation in a network of prayer and work with the Mothers' Union in our twin Diocese of Byumba There is a lively programme of meetings and worship.
