First Baptist Church

Mother’s Day Today we want to thank God for motherhood. In honor of Mother’s Day, there are flowers in the narthex. If you are a mother, or have a mother, please take one or more. We acknowledge that Mother’s Day can be difficult for some. So, we remember the grief of those who have lost their mothers; the struggle of those who desire to be, but have not yet become a mother; and the deep heartbreak of those who are, for whatever reason, unable to become mothers. Nevertheless, today we want to honor motherhood and give thanks to God for our own mothers.
