Sunday Preview & Thought for the Week (5.12.17)


 
Hey Church!

I hope you you've had a great week.  We have an exciting and powerful Sunday ahead of us.  It's
Mother's Day!  Bring your mom.  Celebrate your mom.  Remember your mom.  We all have a mom and often many women who were mothers to us.  Let's celebrate and remember them this week.  And we'll learn how mother's teach us something about the nature of God.

Plus, we'll have a Mother's Day Photo Booth, so get ready to take some fun pics!

Thought for the Week
"My son, keep your father’s command and do not forsake your mother’s teaching."  Proverbs 6:20

Don't forsake your mother's teaching.  Mother's teach you...
  • what forgiveness looks like.
  • that a skinned knee can be fixed with a band-aid and a kiss.
  • how to make a PB & J.
  • that you can always make more food so you can welcome more people.
  • how to wrap a present.
  • that it's okay to cry because you're sad.
  • that it's okay to cry because you're happy.
  • how to sing in the car.
  • how to put together an outfit for throwback day at school.
  • to trust people.
  • how to make someone feel special.
  • how to pray.
  • that worship is important.
  • what serving looks like.
  • that one can be graceful and scream at a football game at the same time.
  • how to make biscuits.
  • what love feels like.
  • that you're never too old to hug and kiss your momma.
Don't forsake this teaching because it's probably just a snapshot of all that your mother taught you.

In Christ,
