Mother's Day Ministry Resources
God's Word exhorts children to honor and obey their mother (Eph. 6:1-2). Though these resources help us express appreciation on one special day, we should be honoring mothers all through the year. The Mother's Day discipleship guide in the Holidays Reflections resource promotes that emphasis along with a few other points and questions to help us reflect on motherhood. (This resource includes guides for thirteen other holidays.)
