Mothering Sunday
Mid-way through Lent we mark Refreshment Sunday and Mothering Sunday. This is a special time for us to celebrate mothers and give thanks for all that they bring to our lives. All our welcome to our family Eucharist – there will be a Sunday School during the service.
Mass setting: Missa Aesterna Christi Munera – Palestrina; Missa de Angelis – arr. Christopher Moore
Choir anthem: The Lord bless you and keep you – Rutter
Organ voluntary: Sortie in E♭ – Lefébure-Wély
Loving God,
Thank you for mums and children
and for all the joy of family life.
Be with those who are grieving because they have no mother;
Be close to those who are struggling because they have no children;
Be near to those who are sad because they are far apart from those they love.
Let your love be present in every home,
And help your church to have eyes to see and ears to hear the needs of all who come.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
