TWIGS workshop

26 May

Mother's Day

May 12

Those attending Toronto Adventist Church on May 12 were welcomed into the garden and introduced to a basket of life lessons that have been learned by mothers over the years. Each day, the tools that we use in our gardens can become a symbol of a much greater mission – that of being the best mums that we can be.

Six of our mothers (each carrying a garden tool) sat in the garden and shared, with insight and humour, some of the lessons they have learned through the years and how these lessons relate to the way God deals with us, His children.

We learned lessons from the Secateurs (pruning), the Straw Hat (protection), the Spade (bearing burdens), the Gloves (handle with care), the Watering Can (nurturing) and the Rake (gathering in). The service was enhanced with well-known songs and a delightful children’s story.

The backdrop and lovely garden setting were created by Elza Crawford. The scripts read by the six mums were written by Joanne Fitzclarence with some personal touches added by the mums. A small gift was given to each of the ladies present and a lovely lunch was provided in the church hall after the service.

We trust that this special service warmed your heart, nourished your spirit and caused the love of God to blossom afresh.
