On Honoring Your Mother...

I'm an aspiring follower of Jesus today because of the love, prayers, and example of my mom. 

Here's how she did it.

Thank you God for my mom.

 What are three things YOU love about your mom?

Why not tell her right now?

More Mother's Day Fun...
* Every honest father knows this is real...
* What moms REALLY want for Mother's Day...
* My mom's story...
* This can be your story...
* The one thing you must do for you mom... 

BONUS:

Here are 10 Questions to ask your Mom (or Grandma) on Mother’s Day: (You might even want to videotape your Mom as she answers)
1. What are your favorite memories of times you spent with your Grandparents?
2. What was your grade school like? What do you remember about your favorite teacher?
3. Who was your best friend? And what did the two of you like to do?
4. What kind of things did you do as a kid that got you into trouble at home or school?
5. Growing up what did you want to be?
6. Outside of the family, what was the very first job you had that you got paid for?
7. How did you meet Dad? (Grandpa) How did he ask you to marry him?
8. What is the hardest thing that you ever had to do in your life?
9. What is the greatest compliment that you have ever received?
10. What is one thing you still want to do that you have never done? (What is still on your “Bucket List?”)
Bonus Question: If your Mom’s answer on any question leaves you wanting to know more, simple ask: Mom can you please tell us more about that?
Bonus Question: If your Mom (Grandma) is a Follower of Jesus, ask: Is there a story you can share about how you came to be a Follower of Jesus.

There’s a lot of talk about disciplemaking these days. But what does disciplemaking  really  look like for you in your everyday, real life? That's what we'll explore together.

Session 1 Be a Disciple (D1) Everything in life will try to pull you off the simplicity of following Jesus together with others. Session 2 Who Makes Disciples (D2) Following Jesus isn’t a subject to be mastered, but an infectious way of life that is lived together and shared with others. Session 3 Who Make More Disciples (D3) If those we disciple don’t make more disciples, then we haven’t made disciples like Jesus. When? 8 AM to 12:30 PM (light lunch included) Where? * Saturday morning, January 28th, 2023, at CrossPoint Church, Morton, IL * Saturday morning, February 4th, Harvest Time Bible Church, Rock Falls, IL * S
