Calvary Church - connecting people with God

Each year in the United States 4.3 million women give birth. Forty percent of those giving birth will be mothers for the first time. The average age of a first time mom is 25. There are 5.6 million stay at home moms (2006). There are 751,322 day-care centers across the country to which mothers turn to help juggle motherhood and careers. 10.4 million – the number of single mothers living with children under the age of 18. It is estimated that there are 82.8 million moms in the United States (2004). And endless are the number of things mothers do for us that go unnoticed.

As you think of mom this weekend, take some time to thank them for all that they have sacrificed … for you. What other reason would massive football players and little kids alike make fools of themselves jockeying to wave to a TV camera while saying, "Hi Mom!"? This weekend’s service is dedicated to you … from us kids … big and small alike.
