can Church last Sundei3i morning
when the congregation observed
Mothering Sunday. This traditional
remembrance of all mothers of the
congregation is observed on the
Fourth Sunday in Lent of each year,
Down through the years the children
would return home en Mothering
Sunday so that the family might at-
tend Church together and honour
their mother. During the service
each mother received a piece of
Simnel Cake,
ITh.irin,g the Service last Sunday
morning the Mothers were asked to
stand and each received, in place of
the traditional Simnel Cake, one of
the daffodils which had previously
been blessed upon the Altar. Follow-
ing the prayers of thanksgiving for
all mothers and for God's blessing
upon the mothers of the parish a
special Mothering Sunday hymn was
sung.
Church officials have stated that
it is planned to make Mothering
Sunday an annual observance at St
Paul's Church.
