This year, Mothering Sunday (Mothers’ Day) is on 30th March. There will be family services in all our churches. Mothers’ Union has devised an order of service and various resources that are free for churches to use, so we might well do so!

Mothers’ Union is a Christian mission organisation working with people of all faiths and none. Mothers’ Union is firmly rooted in a voluntary ethos centred on mutual respect and collaboration. Our governance, leadership and programmes are undertaken and driven by members within their own communities worldwide. (http://mothersunion.org/about-us)

Mothers’ Union suggests that, as well as using their service resources on Mothering Sunday, churches publicize their campaign Make a Mother’s Day. If you visit the webpage http://makeamothersday.org you will be able to find out more and to donate to the charity online if you wish.
