Celebrate Mothers and Daughters with a Play!

Now that Mother’s Day has passed, I’m curious: Did your congregation hold any special events for the women in your church? Many churches plan a Mother-Daughter banquet or retreat. My church plans an annual tea with a theme, and the guys graciously volunteer as the servers. This year was “The Asian Experience,” complete with sushi and parasols. I’ve been taking my daughter since she was tiny, and now she’s taller than I am!

Over the years, I’ve watched our moms and daughters get totally engrossed in a special drama just for them. They’ve laughed themselves silly some years (Paris, S.D. Festival of Fashion, Chick Flicks) and teared up other years (Mother and Child). On my to-do list for future Mother-Daughter Teas are: Church Ladies, Spring Cleaning, No Makeup Required, All in the Life of a Woman, and The Prodigal Daughter Plus Five.

Don’t miss an opportunity to honor and pamper the women of your congregation with a special mother-daughter event! It’s a tradition they’ll eagerly anticipate year after year.
