This is a celebration that easily gets mixed up with Mothers' Day. For the Church, Mothering Sunday is a festival that includes everyone, not just women. It arises from the time when girls 'in service' were allowed a weekend off before Easter in order to visit their families, which of course included their mothers, but most importantly gave them an opportunity to visit their 'mother church' where they had been brought up in the faith. So, today, our celebration of Mothering Sunday can include all of us thanking God for our 'mother church' where we have been nurtured, mothered, in the faith, and is a reminder for us to go on growing in our walk with Jesus.
Could this Sunday be your chance to take a step back towards the place where faith goes on being mothered and nurtured?
