Did you know about 'Mid-Lent Sunday' or 'Refreshing Sunday'?

These were names given to the traditionally called 'Mothering Sunday' -that's this Sunday: 19th March 2023.

Originally, the Sunday three weeks before Easter, was when servants, or those who worked away from home, were given the day off to return and visit their mother and family. It was a chance to break the fast of Lent and be refreshed. It also meant going to the 'mother church' – the place where a person had been baptised. For others it was just a chance to visit the local parish church, or the nearest cathedral – sometimes also called the 'mother church'.

Then of course, it was popularised into'Mother's Day'.

So whatever might be happening this Sunday, why not visit your local parish church – St Alban's – and join it's Mothering Sunday service at 10:30am, where all mothers will receive a posy of flowers.

Come and give thanks for love, joy and care expressed in so many ways. And remember in reflection or prayer, the many who struggle because of difficult circumstances in these troubled times.
.
It will be a worthwhile moment of commitment.
