From Sharon Boyd: I want to thank all those who sent cards and came to my party to wish me a happy birthday. You really made my day and made me feel so loved. All of you mean so much in my life and I thank God for all of you.

This Sunday, 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 if you have a mother, please take one or more. Take one to your mother, or keep one in remembrance of your mother. We also 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.

The Mother’s Day Banquet will take place on Monday, May 15 at 6:30 pm in the Fellowship Hall. (Guys, you’re welcome to help serve and clean up also.)
