Description

When Mary, Jesus’ mother, said “yes” to God, she became a wonderful example of faithfulness and humility. Even when she wasn’t sure of all the answers, Mary was willing to follow God into the unknown.

This Messy session includes activities and a celebration that focus on Mary as a role model of faith. The session also offers opportunities to celebrate motherhood in all its forms, though the primary focus is on Mary.

You may choose to use this session in relation to Mother’s Day. Be sure to approach the topic of motherhood with sensitivity and care. Be mindful that people in your community may have a wide range of experiences with motherhood—some joyful, some painful. Aim to create a space that honors all stories and fosters belonging for everyone.
