Mother's Day

Sunday, May 10, 2026 🌸

Mothers' Day is on the way. We are celebrating all mothers on May 10th during our 11am service. Our very own jurisdictional supervisor, Mother Barbara Bryant is our guest speaker. Last year on Mothers' Day, we coordinated our outfits to match each other, like twins, and we called it “twinning”.

This year we are celebrating Mother's Day with a phrase affectionately known as “Blooming”. BLOOM stands for Beautiful Loving Original Mothers. Since April showers bring May flowers, let’s bloom and dress in floral prints or accessories.
