As the calendar turns to May, we are reminded of one of the most cherished days of the year—Mother’s Day. This special occasion, observed on May 11th, offers us a beautiful opportunity to express our gratitude and appreciation for the incredible women who have nurtured, inspired, and guided us. At St. Matthew’s, we recognize the profound role mothers play not only within our families but also within our community and our faith.
Mother’s Day is more than just a day for flowers and cards; it is a sacred moment to reflect on the virtues of love, sacrifice, and wisdom that mothers embody. In our church, we honor all mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, and mother figures who have impacted our lives with their unwavering support and nurturing spirit. This day serves as a reminder to cherish these relationships and to thank God for the blessing of having such remarkable women in our lives.
As a delightful coincidence, May 12th also marks Limerick Day, celebrating the joy of playful and whimsical poetry. While you share laughter and love with your family, perhaps it’s a perfect time to craft a lighthearted limerick in honor of your mom—a gesture that captures the essence of joy and creativity.
We warmly invite you to join us at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church to celebrate Mother’s Day. Come worship with us and bring your mom along to participate in a service filled with love, reflection, and community. Let’s honor the remarkable women who have shaped our lives and continue to strengthen our faith. We look forward to welcoming you and your family to our church home!
