“Mothering Sunday is celebrated to highlight the role of the mother in the family, their responsibilities, achievements and how they can press on towards the high calling of our Lord Jesus Christ, and how to take their families along so that at the end of the day when the trumpet sounds we and our family members shall forever be with the Lord”.
