Mother's Day Sunday Service

At Good Shepherd Baptist Church

a breif HISTORY OF MOTHER'S DAY

Celebrations of mothers and motherhood can be traced back to the ancient Greeks and Romans, who held festivals in honor of the mother goddesses Rhea and Cybele, but the clearest modern precedent for Mother’s Day is the early Christian festival known as “Mothering Sunday.”

Once a major tradition in the United Kingdom and parts of Europe, this celebration fell on the fourth Sunday in Lent and was originally seen as a time when the faithful would return to their “mother church”—the main church in the vicinity of their home—for a special service.
 
Over time the Mothering Sunday tradition shifted into a more secular holiday, and children would present their mothers with flowers and other tokens of appreciation. This custom eventually faded in popularity before merging with the American Mother’s Day in the 1930s and 1940s.

We do things a little differently around here…

 
We know it can be a little weird or even awkward visiting a church for the first time…

 
That’s why we created Plan Your Visit.

 
When you sign up for Plan Your Visit we’ll:

 
✅ meet you at the front door
✅ help you get your kids checked in
✅ introduce you around to a few people
✅ save you seats
✅ we’ll even sit with you if you want (so you don't have to sit by yourself)
✅ INTRODUCE YOU to the pastor 
 
We want to make your first visit as easy as possible, and actually take time to get to know you and your family.

 
Pretty crazy idea, right?

-> Wear whatever you want
 
-> Drink coffee in the sanctuary
 
-> Meet some great people
 
-> Listen to a relevant sermon from Pastor Paul

Hi, my name is Paul.

 
I believe that you are uniquely wired by God for a specific purpose, and that unless you figure out what that purpose is, you'll never be truly fulfilled.
 

No one else on earth can fulfill the unique calling that God has for you.

 
No one else can fulfill your assignment.
 
 
Maybe you know exactly what your purpose is, maybe you've been running from it for a while, or maybe you have absolutely no idea where to even start looking for it...

 
But I want to help you find it.

 
Because I believe that the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who actually do...
