This Sunday is Mother’s Day. (So don’t forget to give Mom a hug!) On May 13th, LinC will celebrate this holiday by looking at all of the ways God acts as our heavenly parent. We talk about ourselves as God’s children so much that we sometimes take this parent-child relationship for granted. What does being a child of God mean? What are God’s motherly and fatherly qualities? How does God show us parental love and discipline? Key Scriptures: Isaiah 49:14-18; Luke 15:11-24; Ephesians 6:1-4; 2 Timothy 1:3-7. One of this summer's most anticipated movies is Shrek 3. In this installment of the popular franchise, everyone’s favorite ogre becomes king. Shrek, however, has no desire to be king and looks for a way to shirk his new responsibilities. We also have responsibilities that we try to avoid. Next week, May 20th, we look at our responsibilities to our families, our communities, and God, along with ways we can be faithful to these responsibilities.
