Photos from Mother’s Day Recognition

Today, we had the privilege to say thanks in worship to our mothers and women who have played such an important part in our lives. Our mothers and the women in our lives are special and they deserve our love and thanks.

At Mackville, our mothers received homemade sugar cookies. At Antioch, each mother received a plant. Our oldest (Lora Mae Yankey) and youngest (Jamie Powell) received a special additional plant.

Special thanks to Jenny and Devinann Gibson for providing the plants, as well as to Abbi Blosser for baking the cookies.
