All our work is upheld by prayer and the MU promotes the development of prayer and spiritual growth for its members .
 An overnight Retreat is held annually, at Llangasty Retreat House, near Brecon. - A Day Retreat is held during Advent, usually somewhere in the Gower.
- Members (branches and deaneries) organise Quiet days.
- Quiet times are held each autumn – two in the south and two in the north of the dioceses.
- Locally based Festival Services are held in each Deanery, during the year and these are a wonderful opportunity for fellowship between local branches.
- The Committee has a emergency prayer chain to pray for people, quickly, in times of specific need.
- The Committee organises and resources the annual Wave of Prayer when members pray for our link dioceses of Nairobi, Mombasa, Machakos and Kitui (in Kenya) and Bunbury and Perth (in Western Australia).
- A monthly service of Holy Eucharist is held lunchtime in St Mary’s Swansea (First Friday of each month) and the Cathedral, at Brecon (Third Friday of the month.) Members participate by reading lessons and leading the Midday prayers.
- During each three-year period, there is a Diocesan Festival, an Archideaconal Festival and a Rally so that members can meet from all over the diocese can meet together for faith and fellowship.
