PLEASE PRAY this week for all of us, and our experiences of being a child, being a mother or providing a mothering role for those around us. Be thankful that we are all children of a loving God who walks with us.

READ THE GOOD NEWS
John 3 14-21
Maybe on Mothering Sunday when we think about being a child, or parenting children, we get a more vivid reminder of what it meant for God to send his most precious child Jesus to die for us and save us from our sins.
