A Christian mother’s love contains
A gospel all its own
Because the King of love has found
Her heart an ample throne.
----Crawford
Nothing touches a child like a mother’s love
Happy Mother's Day to all of our Mothers!
Her children thse up,
and call her blessed....
Proverbs 31:28
Mother's Day
MOTHER'S DAY IS REMEMBRANCE DAY
And We Pause on the Path of the Year
To pay honor and tribute
To the Mother our heart holds dear...
For, whether here or in heaven
Her love is our haven and guide,
For always the memory of Mother,
Is a beacon light shining inside....
Time cannot destroy her memory
And years can never erase
The tenderness and the beauty
Of the loe in a Mother's face...
And when we think of our Mother,
We draw nearer to God above,
For only God in His greatness
Could fashion a Mother's Love.
Helen Steiner Rice
A Mother's Day Prayer
"Our Father in Heaven
Whose love is devine,
Thanks for the love
of a Mother like mine...
And in thy great mercy
Look down from above
And grant this dear Mother
The Gift of your Love...
And all through the year,
Whatever betide her,
Assure her each day
that You are beside her...
And Father in Heaven,
show me the way
To lighten her tasks
and brighten her day,
And bless her dear heart
with the insight to see
That her love means more
Than the world to me."
Helan Steiner Rice

share information about our church and to let people
know we care about them. This does not involve "cold"
calls only putting a flyer on each door. Join us for great
exercise and a great opportunity to share Christ through
sharing our church with our neighbors.
Fill Thou mylife, O Lord my God,
In every part with praise,
That my whole being may proclaim
Thy being and Thy ways.
