Make the Most of Mother's Day at Your Church

Mother's Day is the third highest attendance Sunday for churches because husbands and children often attend as a special blessing for their moms. Therefore, it is a fantastic day for outreach if you make the most of it.

Tips:

• Encourage, recognize, pray for and celebrate moms
• Think about having a brunch for moms that day-- food always makes folks happy.
• Invite moms to attend weekday ministry events such as ladies' Bible studies, Mothers of Preschooler (MOPS) meetings, sewing groups or other places to plug in. (Consider a recipe card with a recipe on the front and ministry details on the backside.)
• Provide a way that members can invite others. Encourage them to look for guests and welcome them on Mother's Day.
• Give guests a takeaway printed on "seeded" paper that can be planted later. Perhaps list the website and social media addresses.
• Consider a ministry fair on Mom's Day that would showcase men's and youth ministries that would encourage guests to return and get involved.
• Follow up with guests with calls, emails or a postcard clearly inviting them to an upcoming activity. 

Flowers are wonderful and chocolate is a joy but mom's are most excited to know their family members are following Jesus.
