Seasonal Prayers - Mothering Sunday
Mothering Sunday
*You will need a selection of props as listed
Say that mums play many different and important roles in family life. Pull out your props one at a time and talk about some of the tasks that mums carry out.
ie
| Whisk |
they cook for us |
| Bandage |
they look after us when we're injured |
| Medicine |
they nurse us when we're ill |
| Car keys |
they take us to places (to school, church, see our friends) |
| Washing powder |
they wash and iron our clothes |
| Screwdriver |
they fix things |
| Storybook |
they tell us stories |
| Exercise book |
they help us with homework |
| A big paper heart |
they go on and on loving us, even when we're naughty |
Give out the props to a number of different children and ask them to each say a one-line prayer thanking God that mums do that particular thing for us. Alternatively, say a concluding thank-you prayer yourself, weaving in all the different roles mentioned.
they cook for us...
(Adapt this for use on Fathers' day, remembering that we enjoy the privilege of having two fathers, one on earth and one in heaven.)
