At my church, we celebrate Mother’s Day by hosting Muffins with Mom. This is usually an hour before Sunday School begins. We invite all mom’s and their children to celebrate her special day with muffins, juice, milk, and coffee. We finish by taking a picture of Mom with her children and either make a bookmark or a small magnet to give her the following week.

We put on a 15 minute little program for the moms at the end of service with the 2-year old through 5th grade comprised of song and dance. Then conclude with child/baby dedication. Moms receive flower from child…
Hi All,
Yes, I come from a small congregation out in Wentworth Durban in South Africa- Bible Believers Pentecostal Church.
We do celebrate Mothers Day every year as we use this day as an opportunity to invite all mothers to church.
Mothers are honoured in poetry, songs and they are all presented with a small gift-usually the Sunday School children take part in the service.
We find out things like who is the youngest mum, oldest, one with the most children etc, This turns out to be fun.
Thereafter, all Moms are prayed for by the Pastor. After service , Moms are treated like queens to either a meal or yea and cake prepared by the gents.

We have for the last 7 years had a mother daughter sleep over at the church always on the Friday before Mothers Day. We usually have a church full of 30 ladies. If you are a female you will fall under the mother – daughter catagory. We will serve dinner-usually hamburgers and hotdogs and do crafts until the wee hours of the morning and play games and just sit and share Jesus with each other. We usually have at least 20 ladies to stay the night. We have a great fellowship time and ALL the ladies look forward to this event every year. This is also a way that you can invite other females to join in with the fellowship with all the other women and invite them back for a Sunday at Church and see what your church is all about.
Melind,
That sounds like a very creative approach. I love the inter generational approach too.
Our church honosr single mothers by taking them to lunch with there children, they receive gift baskets, an oil change, and the kids are entertained with crafts and a bounce house!!
@Emily-that is an amazing idea! It is one I don’t think I ever would have thought of. Thank you for sharing that with us! (That is not to say that the other ideas are not great–Emily’s just struck me as a great ministry opportunity.)
I just started attending my church a year ago, and every year they have a special theme. This year theme is “Women of Design” the moms are to design an outfit on their own and have a fashion show(I’m sure there is more things scheduled). (I am more involved with children’s ministry) I will have the children say a special prayer for mothers, sing a song(Because of You) and dance (Lean on Me). They are so excited.
God Bless and Happy Mother’s Day to any mom that reads this. And Tony tell your wife Happy Mother’s Day and God Bless all!!!!!!!!
Yes, yearly were celebrating the mother’s day in our church. Poem, song, acrostic, giving of gift, greetings fr. the video from their children & husdand and special prayer from the pastor are some of the activities we rendered for our moms.
by the way i want to greet all the mothers a “happy, happy mother’s day” esp. your wife. God bless
Happy mother’s day to all mom.
we do celebrate mother’s day, each year we give something different
but dinner is always provided for senior citizen mothers
the youngest and oldest mom normally get a small gift.
this year i hope the men group take over service. Love God bless
This year will be our 2nd Mother Daughter Tea. We hold it the Sat. before Mother’s Day. We have tea, lemonade, finger foods and goodies. We have everyone bring a teacup and we do a teacup exchange (we have a few extras for those who forget). We take pictures and print them on a photo printer and hand them out. It was really fun last year!
We are having a mother- daughter brunch this weekend to honor our mothers. The girls from our AWANA group will be sharing scripture, poems, and songs for their mothers. We will also have a “make and take” session on edible arrangements and other fruit carving.
Each year, we usually do some kind of Banquet for mothers and children (Mothers and Others). I’m hoping this year to do something a little more involved and memorable for the moms. We want them to plug into the ministry a bit to get a glimpse of what it might be like for their kids each Wednesday night. I’m thinking about having the kids put on a little skit (Amazing Mothers from the Bible) and then sing a few songs. Then we’ll have games everyone (especially moms) can participate in. Last year, we made a pre-recorded video with each kid saying what they liked about their mother and that was a big hit. We showed that in church on Sunday.
Hi, I am writing in from the Caribbean island of Dominica.
Every year my church celebrate mothers. The entire service is dedicated to Mothers, both church and non-church mothers. The Sunday School Department puts on a special program each year. The children are given poems to memorize and say to their moms. There a sometimes short dramas, quizz, songs decidicated to the mothers. A special committe is always put in place and on behalf of the church the moms are treated to a gift each and special snack at the end of the service.
The Dads, Youths and Sunday School children come together to prepare a feast for the mothers. The Mothers are presented gifts by the Fathers before entering the church, while the Youth and Sunday School children present their gifts in the church before the sermon. After the church service, Mothers are ushered into our Church Hall where they are served as Queens of the Day. The whole day Mothers watch as Dramas, Skits and songs are presented even poems and speeches to show our gratitude to our Mums.
Hello! !
For Mother’s Day all our youth and dad’s plan a dinner for alll the mother at our church. No cooking, or anything for them, they get to relax and enjoy the day. We all fellowship and have a great time. Blessing to all the mother’s!!
At our church this year we are handing an iced flower shaped honey biscuit to all women over 20 years, after the worship time. We understand that there are many women who would have loved to have been mothers but it was not to be, so we include those who never married or were unable to bear children.
This year we also have a mother/daughter band.
At our Friday fortnightly club last week most groups made something for Mum, ranging from a laminated bookmark, to cards & coasters.
AT OUR CHURCH WE SAY POEMS AN SING A LOT AN THEY LIKE THAT SN WHEN ITS ALL OVER WE COOK THE GOOD FOOD
For the past 5 years we have Children’s Worship Sunday on Mother’s Day where the children lead worship. They sing, design the bulletin cover, acolyte, usher, play music, share a Bible message, read scripture, clean up, greet, help in the sound booth, etc. We try to involve all the children in the church from preschool through 6th grade.
