Being light to the people of the Mackay region
AMUA, Mackay Region is part of the Dry Tropics Region of the Diocese of North Queensland and covers the area from Ingham to Carmila and west to Mt Isa. Locally the branches of St Ambrose, Holy Trinity, St Charles and Mary Magdalene (Pioneer Valley), have combined to form AMUA Mackay Region. We welcome anyone who wishes to join this Worldwide organisation of the Anglican Communion. Anglican Mothers Union operates in 83 countries and has over 4 million members. Currently we are participating in a Worldwide project MULOA – Mothers’ Union: Listening, Observing, Acting – in Step with God.
In beginning to explore our theme this year, we looked at the role of Grandparents in today’s society; suicide prevention awareness, and saying “Thank you” to those who were involved in the Pioneer Valley fire emergency.
As an organisation we participate in Christian Education, Worship, International Support Projects, the protection of children and all that supports family life.
Where membership numbers are small, we work with other like-minded organisations.
Members are involved with all areas of Cluster life and the maintenance of worship in Cluster Ministry Centres.
At present AMUA Mackay Region has 36 members with a number who are experiencing health conditions. We look forward to welcoming more of the younger generation, whose life experiences are different and have new insights to offer in support of the Christian Faith and family care.
