Hopefully by now many people will have used the Mothers’ Union collection of ethical gifts for Mothering Sunday to MAKE A MOTHERS’ DAY. If you haven’t, then please place your order by 7th March for gifts to be ready for the day itself on 18th March.
Mothers’ Union have also produced a range of resources for use in Christian worship on Mothering Sunday. The resources are summarised below and available as individual downloads HERE.
- an outline Mothering Sunday Family Service which uses two of the Revised Common Lectionary readings (Exodus 2:1-10 and John 19:25-27), includes the story of a mother in South Sudan who learnt to read and budget using the Mothers’ Union Literacy and Financial Development Programme, and gives a talk outline;
- a wide selection of Prayers for Mothering Sunday that can be used either in conjunction with the service outline, or completely independently;
- resources for people running children’s groups on Mothering Sunday, which include a memory verse and active prayer ideas;
- and some Mothering Sunday Children’s Activity Colouring Sheets relating to the stories used in the service outline and the memory verse in the children’s resources.
