Mother’s Day Event & Programs at Church

by Terry Delaney | Mother's Day Ideas | Print Print | Email

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 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.

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!

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!!!!!!!!

@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.)

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.

Melind,
What a wonderful and beautiful way for mothers and daughters to spend time together in fellowship with other mothers and daughters!

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.
Sally

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…
