Mother’s Day recap
Written by Aron Strong on May 12, 2008 – 12:20 pm -
Well, it was another Clovis Hills slam dunk. Another can’t miss weekend.
The music smoked: Paul was awesome doing Mr. Mom, complete with a southern twang that just a little seemed “too natural” if you know what I mean.
It sounded like we had Point of Grace in the house with the message capper.
And I was told my rendition of Phil Vassar wasn’t too shabby. The band sounded great the whole weekend.
Steve and Kimberly co-taught a fantastic message about women of influence. This is one of my favorite parts of Mother’s Day. I still remember when Jen and I were struggling through the emotions of our inability to have a child of our own. Mother’s Day was such a hard day back then. A day celebrating what those we were incapable of becoming. We heard the stories of others like us. Or of those who had lost their children.
I’m proud of the fact that Clovis Hills takes the courage to expand this day to show how God has called women (and men, but that’s a different holiday) to take charge of the influence they have in the lives of others. To cherish them for the way they were created. And give them tools to continue to grow in the work of changing lives.
Mother’s Day photo’s were a big hit. A huge thanks to our photographers: Alicia Alejo, Michelle Koch, Becky Crecelius and Katrina Rocha for serving on what was technically their holiday so everyone else could get great family pics. Also, thanks to Amy Glines for working behind the scenes and making sure everything ran smoothly. There were many other volunteers who helped as assistants, with set up and take down and a dozen other things. If it wasn’t for these folks doing what they do, things like this could never happen. Way to go church.
