Mother's Union
The Mothers Union is an International worldwide charity, with over 3,6 million members worldwide. Our work is based around our Aims, Objects and Mission Statement.
Our Easthampstead branch in recent years have raised funds for:-
• Bikes to be used by Overseas Workers
• Away From It All holiday breaks,
• Carpet in the Church annexe
• Table used at weddings
• Adult literacy project in Africa
• Knitted baby blankets for Reading hospitals
• Collected Easter Eggs for Banardos
• Collected toiletries for Womans refuge
• Making quiet toy-bags for children attending church
We are also called upon to arrange funeral refreshments and have a stall of home produce at the fete. Life with the Mothers Union is special. We help people locally and further afield and enjoy doing our bit.
We are always delighted to welcome new members to the Mothers’ Union, all our meetings are open. You don't even have to be a woman to come along feel rewarded and make a difference. Our meetings vary from month to month with guest speakers, activities, updates on Mothers Union, also tea and coffee and chat and of course prayer. As our meetings are open and our group age ranges from 30-90 it gives you a chance to get to know many different people within our church. We meet at 7.40pm on the third Wednesday of every month in the Church annexe.

Church Work Party
We are a friendly group of volunteers who enjoy the fellowship of working together and (with the help of our volunteer church cleaners and flower arrangers) we try very hard to keep our buildings and churchyard looking at their best. We carry out simple maintenance and gardening tasks in and around the church, the churchyard and the Parish Centre. Do you enjoy fresh air and exercise in convivial company? Are you interested in exploring the practicalities of church upkeep (or just meeting members of the congregation) in an informal situation? Can you spare two or three hours on a Saturday morning to help? If so, we could be just the group for you.
We meet monthly (normally on the third Saturday of each month) in the Church Car Park. We normally start at 9.30 and aim to finish around 12.30. About halfway through the morning we take a break for coffee and biscuits and some convivial chat in the Annexe. There is always plenty of work for willing hands but we never seem to get to the bottom of our list of jobs to do! So we are always pleased to welcome new members to our group.

Flower Arrangers
We are a group of enthusiastic volunteers and we arrange flowers for the church. The flowers are frequently sponsored by those wishing to recognise a special birthday, anniversary, in memory of a loved one or simply because they like to see nice flowers in Church. We warmly welcome anyone who would like to join our number, experienced or novice.
