Reimagining Mother’s Day

Carolyn Bjerke, minister and Alice Henderson, worship associate Mother’s Day holds many truths at once.

For some, it is a day of gratitude and love. For others, it carries grief, distance, or complexity. And beyond the personal, it points us toward a larger story, about care, responsibility, and the unseen labor that sustains our lives.

This Sunday, we approach Mother’s Day with curiosity and compassion. We widen the lens to honor all who nurture, all who have longed to be nurtured, and all whose stories don’t fit easily into a single narrative.
