GRACE THAT GROWS

This Mother’s Day, Northeastern Conference Women’s & Youth Ministries invites you to be part of a special initiative, Grace That Grows: Elevating Mothers, Strengthening Community.

As we celebrate the mothers and mother figures in our lives, we have an opportunity to show appreciation in a meaningful way. We are inviting our churches to participate by donating a small plant (flowering or greenery) as a symbol of love, growth, and encouragement for the mothers in our communities. Participants may also include a short note of encouragement to make the gift even more personal.

All plant donations should be submitted to your local Women’s Ministries Coordinator by May 9th (if your church is participating). Together, we can remind every mother that she is seen, valued, and deeply appreciated.

Thank you for partnering with us in this act of kindness and love.
