As you plan your celebration for Mother’s Day, here are some ideas to consider …

• Children might enjoy handing out your congregational gifts on Mother’s Day (and there’s no doubt the women will enjoy receiving it from a child).
• If you’re associated with a pre-school or Mother’s Day Out ministry, order additional gifts for moms who are from your community but not affiliated with your church.
• Will Mother’s Day recognition gifts stretch your church budget? Invite a men’s group to purchase them for the ladies. In turn, might a woman’s group be interested in sponsoring gifts for Father’s Day?
• Suggest Sunday School children write a note or draw a picture to include with the Mother’s Day gifts.
• Have you included gifts for women who are homebound or in assisted living situations?
• Does your church partner with an area crisis pregnancy center? CTA gifts with a Christ-centered message might truly bless those moms-to-be.
• Pastors, are you using the gift’s theme and Scripture reference as a title and text for your Mother’s Day message?
• If ordering Be Blessed mugs, purchase extra to keep in your church’s kitchen or staff work room.
• The CTA gifts for women (and men) can be used year-round for hospitality or evangelism visits.
• Have you considered using the product’s theme for your women’s retreat?
• Is this the opportune moment to recognize the support ministry of your pastor’s spouse with a special gift?
• Have you considered coordinating your sanctuary’s Mother’s Day decorations with the colors of the gifts?
• Have gifts been mailed to women away serving in the military or given to family members to share upon their return?
