Mother’s Day is the time we honor our mothers. Whether your mother is living or passed on, we honor the dedication she gave to provide love, protection and sustenance for each of her children. Matthew 15:4 says, “Honor your father and mother.” This poem by Marian Kehrley caught my eye and is so true about mothers.
The Mothering Job © Marian N Kehrley
I watched my Mom fill out an application.
I looked at the line that asks about past professions.
I thought to myself, that space is too small
To write down what she’s been, to cover it all.
She was a nurse when I fell and scraped my knee.
She was a maid when I didn’t wipe my feet.
She was a designer when my clothes didn’t match.
She was a tailor when my pants needed a patch.
She was a teacher when I asked a question.
She was a priest when I had a confession.
She was a psychiatrist when I came home crying.
She was a preacher when I got caught lying.
She was a singer when she sung me to sleep.
She was a lifeguard when she said the water’s too deep.
There are many more, yet the best one to me,
She was a best friend and mine forever she’ll be.
Happy Mother’s Day!

BLESSINGS AND PEACE TO YOU ALL! I am excited having the A.D. Players come to CFC and perform the play, John: His Story. By now everyone knows my love for the ARTS. But to rehearse in short, I desire our young people to be exposed to the ARTS in all their forms (theater, music, painting, cinema, etc.) as well as their usage for the expansion of the Kingdom of God. With joy, I watched our children’s eyes filled with awe while watching the production of Charlotte’s Web at the new A.D. Players theater earlier this year. This is a great opportunity for the CFC family to invite other family, friends and neighbors! Come and enjoy the A.D. Players presentation of John: His Story.
We are honored to announce, Sunday, May 14th, the ordination service of Russ McKee as an elder to CFC. Russ has served faithfully for many years here at CFC and will be a welcomed addition to our ministry team. Also, on May 14th, we will honor our MOMS, so let me be the first to say, BLESSED MOTHER”S DAY!
In His Service,
Pastor Chuck
