Mothers Day

What a wonderful Mothers Day weekend! We started it off with our Mother's Day Banquet on Saturday. We enjoyed good food, a tribute to mothers, and topped it off with the Mother/Daughter game (played like the Dating Game). I encouraged our moms to raise our children in the admonition of the Lord, not to give up even though we live in a society that discourages the molding of our children. Our mothers that helped out in the tribute were Carolyn Padgett, Becky Shugart, Michelle Terry, Angie Rash, and Stephanie Lingerfelt. I appreciate each of you ladies taking the time to research your given decade, dressing the part and sharing with the rest of us ladies! We loved seeing the different styles of the day, and got quite a few laughs as ladies shared with us a day in their life in the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's!! I was told that some brought back a lot of memories by bringing up things they hadn't thought about in many years! Stephany Harrison kindly volunteered to be our photographer, and did a brilliant job!! Thanks Steph! And also, many thanks to the ladies that helped prepare, decorate, etc. Couldnt do it without you!

Then the preacher brought a wonderful message yesterday morning on the home, and the mothers role in the home. It makes me want to be a better mother. But not even a mother centered message limits who gets spoken to.....a young man came forward for salvation during the invitation! AMEN!!! What could make a mothers day better than that? We thank God for working in our church. He sure is blessing!!

Thanks to each of you for your faithfulness. Please keep praying daily that God keeps His hand on our church, and that your pastor and I can be what He needs for us to be!
