Mothers' Union
St Luke’s has an active branch of the worldwide Mothers’ Union Christian membership charity. Our branch has around 34 members. Firm friendship and good contacts have been made with other MU groups in the Chester Diocese aiming to help families in as many ways as possible.
We are an open and friendly branch and always delighted to welcome newcomers. We meet monthly in the Church Hall usually with an invited speaker or special activity. Members can attend either the evening group (2nd Tuesday at 7:45 pm) or the afternoon group (3rd Wednesday at 2 pm) as suits their needs.
If you are interested in joining our branch just turn up for a meeting or ring Carole or Dorothy.

Mothers’ Union January 2020 meetings
This month we were able to have Canon Rob come to take our Epiphany Communion Service for both the Tuesday evening and the Wednesday afternoon. He gave us a lovely talk about his two experiences in the past with MU, one being in Kenya and the other in one of his previous parishes.
MU December 2019 meetings
A group of Evening members went out to the George and Dragon in Holmes Chapel on Tuesday evening for our annual Christmas meal.
The Afternoon group held a Christmas Carols and Readings service, with Christine Jones playing the piano for us to help us along.
Hearing Dogs for the deaf
This month both meetings were visited by the Hearing Dogs for the Deaf puppy trainers Margaret and Ken Ness, based in Sandbach. This couple are volunteers for the organisation and help to train the puppies from the age of about 7 weeks, up until the age of 14-16 months, when the dogs are then placed with people who are deaf.
