Thought for Contemplation:
“There is no influence so powerful as that of the mother.” – Sarah Josepha Hale
Theme: “Architects of Our Lives” – a Mother’s Day Sermon
Mother’s Day is wrought with
emotions,
expectations,
disappointments,
celebrations
and gratitude.
Mother’s Day is one of the most difficult sermons for ministers to prepare and deliver.
It is virtually impossible for us to create a message that is comfortable for everyone;
Let alone meets everyone’s needs;
Let alone honors each person’s relationship with their maternal figures.
Or, for women, their relationship with themselves as mothers or women who did not or could not have children.
This service strives to meet each person where they are at on their journey as mothers or with their mother.

Thought for Contemplation: “If you remind me of my dog, we’ll probably git along” – Jane Siberry
Theme: “Must Love Animals”
This week’s service we will explore our relationship with the animals in our lives. Specifically, those precious creatures we call our pets. As well as those we share our land and space in time with.
Bring a picture or painting of your pets, past or present, that you wish to place on our altar. Consider a favorite story you may wish to share as well.
Together we will bless the animal residents of our planet.
