Is your heart heavy on Mother’s Day? An invitation

This invitation comes today from Carmen Ode, administrative assistant at Messiah Lutheran Church of Auburn:

Is your heart heavy on Mother's Day?

We care about your heart. We care about your hidden hurt. And it would be an honor to walk alongside you. On Mother’s Day, Messiah Lutheran Church wants to provide a special time of reflection and prayer for you.

Whether you grieve the loss of a relationship with your mother, battle infertility, lost a child or just want so badly to be a mother – whatever it is that makes this day bittersweet, we invite you to reflect, talk and pray.

Join us in Pastor Eric Wooldridge's office at 9:45 a.m. on Sunday for a special time of reflection, encouragement, prayer, counseling and remembrance. Meet other women and men who share your pain. Or simply come and sit quietly with God. We believe that God has a purpose for pain, joy and change in your life, and we can help you find that purpose. 

Messiah is at 410 H St. NE in Auburn. 

Also, the ELCA suggests making a gift to help mothers around the world. Go to:

Happy Mother's Day,
