This rather lovely flower, composed of hearts, is one of several that we made this morning in Cafe Church for Mothering Sunday.  The premise was simple and effective - we were invited to write the names of our mothers or other significant women in our lives on strips of coloured card.  These were then folded round into a heart shape and joined together to form flower shapes, which we hung at various points in the room we were using.

It was joyous to see people of all ages having a go from my vantage point at the back (where I was on 'lurk' duty in case anyone needed to step out).  A big thank you to D, a single man in his forties, who led us creatively, sensitively and thoughtfully in reflecting on motherhood.

Everyone who attended received a tiny pansy plant to take home and enjoy - or to pass on to someone else they love.  A very inclusive approach to a tricky day.
