Happy Mothering Sunday

The traditional name for today is not Mothers' Day, but rather Mothering Sunday.  It dates back to Victorian times when the people who worked at the 'big house' (and usually attended the local church with the Master and his family) would travel to the big church in the area (the Mother church) for today's service.

It was spring, and they knew they would see their mum for the first time maybe since Christmas, so they picked flowers along the way to give to mum

No picking flowers today, but lots of making at Sunday school: I didn't get a photo of *all* of them, but thanks to Sizzix and some of the Crafty Church Kids we made enough of these for everyone in the congregation, with these left for you to admire!
