*Mother's Day Call to Worship
And Jesus said, "Come!" To all mothers and all children: He said, "Come!" To the motherless and the childless: He said, "Come!" To all who long to be mothered: He said, "Come! Come unto me all ye who labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble of heart and you will find rest for your souls."
*Hymn: “Love Devine, All Loves Excelling," #384
*Mother’s Day Prayer (Christine Sine and posted on Godspace)
God with a mother’s heart, You gather us as Your children. You comfort and hold us in Your warm embrace. When we hurt, Your arms enfold us. When we are afraid, Your wings protect us. When we are hungry, You feed us with the bread of life. God with a mother’s heart, You love surrounds and supports us, In good times and in tough, In the midst of joy and pain, always and everywhere. You will never leave nor abandon us. God eternal and loving one, God with a mother’s heart, we thank You this day for being part of Your family. Amen.
