Thanks for sharing, Mark. I remember my church doing this years ago as well and I always thought it was a neat tradition. 

Thanks, Reg. I think there is potential for churches to find meaningful ways to honor these relationships, but perhaps it is not necessary on these days. It's been shown that church attendance is up on mother's day and father's day, so there is an opportunity to show hospitality. 

Love this, Michele! 

I love the special care you've given to the details, like carnations for every woman and fair trade chocolate. Thanks for sharing, Lynnsey!

Hi Esther! 

Thanks for this thoughtful response. The role of lay leaders is HUGE in encouraging and sustaining a church. What a gift it is to have people who want to serve, such as the voluntary Worship Director you mentioned. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing, Angela! Grateful that your church is so inclusive. 

Great suggestion - thanks so much for sharing! 

Absolutely, Erin! Thanks for sharing what your church is doing.
