Mother's Day

>

Sunday 14 March 2021

Mother's Day brings so many varied emotions for our church congregations. For some, it will be a day of celebration, but for those in our congregations with difficult stories of loss and grief, journeys of infertility, challenging relationships, or a hundred other experiences, Mother’s Day can be a painful reminder of who’s missing.

Home for Good wants to equip churches to be great places for anyone to come to on Mother’s Day – whatever their experience of motherhood. We create resources, including films, sermon outlines and prayers, which sensitively embrace the stories in our congregations using biblical reflections and stories, whilst also embracing the multiple mothering roles and varying needs for a parent figure in our communities. Our hope is that through our Mother's Day resources we would also raise awareness of the needs of vulnerable children and inspire people to consider fostering and adoption.

2021 resources

While we don't know yet what this Mother's Day will look like, it is unlikely that churches will be able to gather fully in person. Many of our resources are suitable for online use, and can be adapted to suit how your church is gathering at this time.

We hope this year's resources will help your church mark Mother’s Day in a thoughtful, encouraging and sensitive way.

This year we are offering a suite of resources that can help you to plan your Mother’s Day service and ensure it is inclusive for all who attend. There are four different packages included in the suite that follow the themes of:

• Today is about you
• Because of you
• Thinking of you
• What does Mother’s Day mean to you?

Within each package you will find various films and other resources to help you plan your Mother’s Day service.
