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
