Mother's Day resources and much more!
I hope this finds you resting on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Days like this one (Mother's Day) can be beautiful, or terrible, or both. We get it! And we want to share some resources to support you and your ministry through this season of celebrations. See what looks useful to you!
A Mother’s Day Prayer
This Mother’s Day prayer is not like the ones I grew up hearing. This prayer is more of a
psalm and a lament. It lifts up to God the painful and unspeakable facets of mothering and Mother’s Day. It also honors the gifts and graces of mothering. God in her wisdom sees and hears it all.
One of the best understandings of how I’m raising my daughter and caring for children in my community is to embrace parenting as a practice.Enjoy our recent conversation with Erin Strybis and Kim Knowle-Zeller about their new book The Beauty of Motherhood.
Where are you seeing beauty, grace and justice in the lives of children you know?
It demonstrates how we are living in a new era of ministry. We need to talk about the changes and losses. And we need to explore how to live into the new season with
creativity, grace, and pastoral imagination.
The #PPR Study Guide offers three sessions to help you lead conversations with your Sunday School class, weekly prayer or study group, or leadership retreat.
Whatever stage of parenting that occupies you now, from giving birth to
launch after graduation, we think you'll appreciate this recent podcast Episode 81: "Full Conversation: The Beauty of Motherhood" with Erin Strybis and Kim
Knowle-Zeller.
