Mothersday in Thailand






MOTHERSDAY IN THAILAND

Mothers day in Thailand take place on the queen`s birthday, which is on 12 August. We had a Mothers day celebration at our church on this Sunday the 10th of August. A special decoration with photos of the queen and special drapings, flowers etc were put in the front of the church 2 weeks before the time. Even the garden of the church was re-do. The ladies of our congregation prepared a special meal for after the church service.

During the service a traditional Thai Instrumental band made music as well as 3 of the children did some dances. We had a special praise and worship with a man playing the guitar. We had prayed for so long for him to return to church after an absence of many years. We visited him at his house in the forest and even lend him a guitar of the church to practice with. He has a special gift with the praise and worship and his wife is our worship leader. It was very special.

There were twenty mothers at the service including two old ladies we also prayed for and visited a few times. Gifts were handed out to the mothers and also to the visitors making music. A lot of tears were flowing during the service.
A total of 54 people attended the service.
