My MU-USA Sisters,
Today is a very auspicious day in the MU-USA Calendar – because it is not only the day for the Installation of the MU-USA Provincial Executive Administration, but more importantly it is the day when 18 women of the God wholeheartedly commit to serving Jesus Christ in the Church, and through Mothers’ Union. This is also a very important step in your life because today you are anointed by God to take the gospel to the four corners of this Province and beyond, for yours are the hands with which He blesses all the world. This is a joyful moment for me as your Worldwide President, Kathleen your Zonal Trustee, the Worldwide Board of Trustees, and Staff at MSH and we congratulate you on taking up leadership roles in Mothers’ Union. We salute you because despite the economic challenges and various pressures in a rapidly changing world, you put God, His will, and His purpose for your life first. Together we pray God’s blessings on you, that he would always be near you, guiding, directing, and instructing you every step of the way. Thank you so much for believing that He who started the good work in you will see it to completion, even on the last day.

I commend you on the fantastic transformational work that took place in your Province during the last triennium. You are a strong and dedicated team. You held your banner high and did not succumb to the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, but with courage and determination you persevered and recovered to ensure that the vulnerable, abused, lonely, lost, and bereaved were loved and cared for. Your many feeding programmes provided nourishment for a great number of those in extreme need. Today, the Worldwide Board of Trustees and Staff at Mary Sumner House join me in appreciating the MU-USA Administration of 2020-2022, under the outstanding leadership of Provincial President Madame Evelyn Alleyne, for ensuring Mothers’ Union survived to flourish in a world plagued by conflict, injustice, and poverty. Thank-you dear sisters!

To the incoming Administration – the solid foundation has been laid for you to build on. Some of you may have been on the journey before, and some may now be beginning the journey. Whatever place you are at, wherever you are - the need to support families is greater than ever in a rapidly changing world! It is heart-breaking to hear the terrible stories that affect women, children, and families, and even more worrying is the fact that it is closer to home than we imagine.

Many times I have said that we are doing so much already, and indeed we are, yet there is still so much more to be done. All I ask of you now is to continue this journey of transformation with me, that by God’s Grace, we will be equipped with the resources to tackle the most urgent needs facing our communities. We must do so together, for in unity there is immense strength to speak out, empower, and protect women, children and families wherever they are. We must be passionate about making a difference through our programmes that enable families to flourish and build strong independent communities.

We must keep God at the centre to ensure Mothers’ Union is the rock for generations to come!

Please take a moment and let us join the 2023-2025 MU-USA Executive Administration in praying Mary Sumner’s Personal Prayer as they will need all the strength, direction and guidance from God.

… in praying the Mary Sumner Personal Prayer
All this day O Lord,
let me touch as many lives as possible for thee;
and every life I touch,
do thou by thy spirit quicken,
whether through the word I speak,
the prayer I breathe,
or the life I live.
Amen.

Again, Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you. John 20:21 NIV.

Sheran Harper
Mothers’ Union Worldwide President

Greetings and welcome!

My name is Evelyn Alleyne, and I am the current Provincial President of the Mother’s Union of the United States of America. We are delighted to be a part of the Worldwide Mother’s Union organization. Our affiliation with the Worldwide Mother’s Union in the United Kingdom dates back over two decades.

This Province has been experiencing gradual growth through membership. The province has branches in Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Virginia. It is a humbling experience to know that our aims and objectives go far beyond the national level of service to God’s people. This body of Christian women and men has been and continues to be a beacon of hope and light in the communities they serve.

The structure of the province is made up of an executive body under the leadership of the Provincial President, with the Provincial Vice President, Diocesan Presidents, and other Members of the Executive. In addition, there are Branch Leaders and members who seek to transform and make God’s world a better place through their work and projects.

Our body of committed members see the need and demonstrate God’s love through their deeds. Our actions are expressed in various forms such as monetary donations, feeding the community, items of necessity for new and expectant mothers, etc. The Mother’s Union USA Province also recognizes the need to do collaborative work with other organizations and agencies.

Here is an open invitation to be a part of our wonderful organization that brings satisfaction and joy to oneself, knowing that you are involved in making a difference in one’s life.

Please take some time to peruse and learn more about our Province.

Thank you,
Evelyn Alleyne
Provincial President

I am Rita O. Johnson, in November2022, I was reelected Provincial Vice President of the Mothers’ Union USA for the triennium 2023-25. I consider this an honor and a testament to the work of this auspicious organization. I am humbled to continue in the office of The Vice President for a second term.

I continue to be an avid member as well as an advocate for this esteemed organization, and with a servant’s heart, I strive at nothing short of lending a helping hand with compassion as and when needed.

My dedication to upholding the Aims and Objectives of the Mothers’ Union is unwavering. So too is my passion to work on matters relating to family lives in adversity within our communities and nationwide. Sadly, the incidence of human trafficking is becoming more prevalent in our world, and I believe that as members of the Mothers’ Union we should lend support in any way we can; be it by providing resources to those who are fully engaged in protecting the vulnerable or in creating awareness through the work we do.

In my role as Provincial Vice President, I am committed to work with the members of the MU USA Province alongside the Provincial President, Evelyn Alleyne. During myr tenure in office the province has grown with the inauguration of two new branches; St. Matthew Anglican Church of Islip, and St. Mary’s Anglican Church in Bronx, New York. MUUSA hopes to achieve more in this area of development.

Being a member of the global Mothers’ Union is a great privilege. May God bless us all as we continue to be the hands and feet of our Lord Jesus Christ, as we further the work of the Mothers’ Union in his Vineyard.

My Dearest Mothers’ Union Sisters and Brothers of the Province of the United States of America,

It is with great joy that I bring you greetings and congratulate you on the installation of your Executive on January 14, 2023 at Trinity Episcopal Church in Virginia. I am looking forward to sharing with you via Zoom on this auspicious occasion.

It is indeed heartening to know of the confidence that your membership has demonstrated in those you have re-elected to lead Mothers’ Union USA into the triennium of 2023-2025. They have followed the desires of our Heavenly Father and led your Province well over the last three years.

From Matthew 25:21 we read: His master said to him, Well done, you upright (honorable, admirable) and faithful servant! You have been faithful and trustworthy over a little; I will put you in charge of much. Enter into and share the joy (the delight, the blessedness) which your master enjoys.

I have had the privilege of working with and getting to know many of your Executive members over the last several years. I think of you all with love and gratitude; I am so very impressed with your dedication and great faith. It is inspiring to me!

My prayer for you is that each of your Executive members: Evelyn, Rita, Cathy, Rosanna, Eugenia D, Allison, Eugenia P, Hulda, Theodora, Elizabeth, Patience, Colleen, Sharon, Roseleen, Annie, Pauline, Evelyn D and Sylvia will continue to walk this journey with Him and support and lead your membership into this new triennium.

45 Thomas Court, Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada E3A 9Y4 001 506 461 8201 Kathleen.

I end with a verse from Hebrews 10:22-25: Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

May you continue to spur one another on, not giving up meeting together, sharing your love with one another, and encouraging each other as we move forward in these challenging times. You ARE making a difference. You ARE transforming lives. You ARE His hands and His feet. I look forward to sharing with you virtually if all goes well on January 14, 2023.

Be blessed
Kathleen Snow
