MU Outreach Activities
Bendigo MU has outreached in so many ways at the time and are still continuing to do so.
Footscray Sudanese Community
• Bendigo MU have supported the Footscray Sudanese Committee over the past years by inviting them to spend a weekend or a day in the country.
Bride magazine
• MU inserted an ad in the Bride magazine produced by a local Bendigo newspaper in which we encouraged young people to ‘Join the Love Triangle’ and ‘Let God Bless Your Marriage’ in contrast to the glitz and glamour emphasis.
Other Activities
• Rugs Ministry outreach
• Comfort teddies
• Prem baby clothes
• Scarves and beanies for the homeless and seafarers
• Made recipe folders
• Kitchen packs
• Gave copies of ‘The Five Love Languages’ for those about to be married
• Laminated recipe books for a local women’s Tarrengower Prison which hopefully will lead to visits and possibly literacy support
