About this ebook
Please don't misunderstand, this material does not suggest that you quit doing what you've always done and ignore mothers on their special day, but that churches not make mothers their exclusive focus, but that they take advantage of the additional ministry opportunity made possible on this day because of mothers.
Here are three ways to do this, each of which will be discussed in more detail:
1.Evangelism opportunities: unchurched children and spouses
2.Honor moms by challenging them to pray
3.An opportunity to challenge your people to spiritual parenting
