Mother’s Day with a difference

On Sabbath 3rd of April, Mother’s Day was celebrated in the community. The Women Ministries team, as well as some other women from the church, went out into the community to hand out daffodils and poems to the mothers in the community. As the mothers walked past, going about their business, they were handed daffodils and a little scroll printed with a Mother’s day poem. The gesture was very much appreciated by the women in the community. Some were cautious in case a fee was requested; after being assured that it was free the token was graciously accepted. Others were surprised at the thought that they were remembered by the church. One woman said’ This has never happened before.’ Another found it hard to accept the token as she was reminded of the harsh reality of being a mother. Overall it was a satisfying experience, knowing that with God’s help we have been able to reach out and make a difference to at least one woman out there. Written by Lina Castor
