MWA
(Moravian Womens' Association)
This organisation aims to unite women of all ages in the Province in closer fellowship with one another and in the wider service of God.
The membership meets on a monthly basis in local groups called Circles. The groups share and discuss a common devotional paper and news from around the world and have an opportunity to socialise with each other. Each year the membership raises money for Moravian and non-Moravian projects and charities in an effort to look beyond the confines of our own communities to the wider needs of the world.
The whole membership has the opportunity to meet once a year in the Spring at our MWA Day. This day is a chance to share fellowship, worship and participate in a variety of workshops. These events are usually hosted by the members of the MWA in their congregations or Circles. A retreat is usually held once a year giving members an opportunity to really deepen their faith.
MWA celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2000 and to mark the event the Circles prepared a quilt which hangs in the Chapel at Church House. The quilt depicts important events in the life of Christ and the early Church as well as the Moravian Church.
In 2010, our 60th Anniversary was celebrated and Circles prepared cakes to celebrate the event.
All women, young and old are warmly invited to attend Circle meetings and the annual MWA Day. Women can also join as Associate members and receive an edited version of the papers through the post.
For more information about our organisation, please contact one of the committee members.
Every month the members of the MWA committee publish a paper. You can download and read these papers below.
