Free Mother's Day Social Media and MS Publisher Images
This is one of a set of Social Media and MS Postcard Template files for you to create invitations for your church's Mother's Day services. Modify and use however you want!

Everyone wants to make Mom happy on Mothers' Day and one of the best ways for either children or spouses who don't come to church regularly is to join Mom for church on Mother's Day!

Following the images below are links to editable Canva files and MS Publisher and PDF files for you to modify and use however you want.

Below the images of the social media are links that will take you to the Canva files and MS Publisher files where you can modify them however you wish, adding your church's specific event information, or referring them to another place for it. Regardless of where you direct them, be very clear as these messages may be forwarded (hopefully they will be) to someone who may not be familiar with your church and exactly where you are or when you meet.

REMEMBER the most important reason for using these invitations

Of course, you want to make Moms happy by inviting their loved ones to attend church with them, but remember that this is a fantastic opportunity to share the good news of salvation in Jesus with family members who may not have heard it or responded to it.

Do honor Mothers on this day, but most of all, with all the unchurched family members who will attend this day, be sure to make it one of your best outreach days of the year.

Mother's Day has the third-highest church attendance of the year, right after Easter and Christmas and the reason for that isn't because of the Mothers that are there—

It's because of the unchurched spouses and children who showed up on that day to make Mom happy!

Because of that, Mother's Day is THE most important evangelism and outreach opportunity you have all year. But sadly, few churches take advantage of this reality.

This video will not only give you ideas on how to make the most of Mother's Day, but previews the FREE resources you can go to implement it at: https://www.effectivechurchcom.com/templates/mothers-day-templates/.

All the publications in the video are at the link above including the sheet for One Mother's Prayer.

How to use Mother’s Day to Grow your church, evangelize, and disciple

By Leave a Comment

Mother's Day gets the third highest attendance at church right behind Christmas and Easter. What churches often forget is that the large increase in people does not come from more Mothers attending--they are there every week! It comes from the unchurched children and spouses who show up to make mom happy on her special day.

Churches that recognize this and use church communications in a way that makes the most of it can make it a day truly worth celebrating for Mom's because nothing is more wonderful to a Mother than for her child to come to know Jesus.

Our Church Communications Training School has a short video course: How to use Mother's Day to Grow Your Church, Evangelize, and Disciple—and it will totally change how you approach Mother's Day!
