This Mother’s Day, The United Church of Canada is running a unique campaign not only to raise money for families in need but also to make the holiday itself more inclusive. The campaign called “Make Mother’s Day More” expands the traditional focus of the holiday to recognize painful mothering relationships, acknowledge loss, and celebrate those who play a mothering role, including transgender and non-binary people. The campaign will support United Church partner organizations offering things like parenting classes, medical clinics, safe shelter, and education for children.
You can make the holiday more meaningful, inclusive, and compassionate for families in need and for loved ones who find the holiday hard. Reach out to people in your life this Mother’s Day, and help families in need at the same time. Here’s how: By making a special gift this Mother’s Day, you will help families who desperately need your support through our Mission & Service partners at home and abroad, providing things like prenatal and parenting classes, respite care, medical clinics, safe shelter, and education for children. There’s more: When you make a gift online, you can send any number of free e-cards to your loved ones that you won’t find on the usual shelves. It’s easy to send a card to invite your family to make a gift, honour a mother or someone who is like a mother, celebrate different expressions of family, and recognize the grief of friends who have lost their mothers or mothers who have lost a their child. |
You can even borrow wording to include in your own card, or give us a call at 1-800-368-3781, ext. 4029, and we’ll fill out an e-card for you right while you are on the phone.
Your gift will help a family in need. Your card will be a blessing to someone you care about. Again, thank you for your generosity and for all the ways you so faithfully live out the gospel call to care. God bless you and those you love,
Sarah Charters Acting Director of Philanthropy PS: If you are a mother and you have what you need, would you consider asking your family to make a donation through Mission & Service instead of sending you a card or gift? That’s what I’m going to do this year. Imagine the good we could do if we came together! PPS: Please join me in praying this Mother’s Day. The prayer I’m sharing with you was written by United Church leaders, who invite us to hold up a variety of needs and ways of mothering during the holiday. |

"Agnus Day (in Latin, "Agnes Dei" means "Lamb of God") is the only lectionary-based comic strip on the planet... Each week, Rick (the sheep with the dark nose) and Ted discuss one of the assigned readings from the Common Lectionary. Their conversation drives at a point and sometimes sparks a laugh... Agnus Day is the creation of Pastor James Wetzstein, a Lutheran pastor."
|
The Agnus Day website provides a discussion on the Bible passage associated with each comic strip. You can even comment on the strip! Archives of past strips can be accessed on the website. Enjoy as a new strip appears each week!
