This weekend is Mother’s Day and many of you will be bringing family members to one of our campuses for the first time. So we really want to roll out the red carpet for your families and dazzle their socks off with the love of God!  Check out the contributions our teams are making to make this weekend very special:
Preschool:  We are hosting Family Dedication and expecting 400 people!  There will be "Mommy" music played throughout all our preschool areas and decorative vases to add a mommy-touch to our environment.  Preschoolers, ages 2 and up, will be creating Mother's Day cards, in addition to our program we have prepared.

Children's:  We are super-psyched about Mother's Day!  FRC Kids will be doing a "pre-service" game to start up (instead of free play); then all kids will be making a special Mother's Day craft (at all of our campuses) to have a surprise for MOM!!!!  Of course all FIRST-TIME guests AND the child who brought them get to come GET THE SCOOP with "Make Your Own SUNDAES!!!!"  YUMMY!!!  

Students:  This weekend we are talking about how to be a godly kid by talking about using the full armor of God. We will be giving away gift cards to Maui Nix and DVD's. We have a few challenges about celeb moms and a 411 video of a student talking all about their family. And a ton more killer stuff dropping this weekend!

First Impressions:  We have reworked The Source and purchased lots of new gifts for moms & grandmas. We are gift-wrapping their purchases too!  Our Guest Service Team will be identified by red t-shirts, to assist all our guests. All first-time guests will receive our newly revised first-time guest package.  Our parking team will have special reserved-parking for our family dedication guests.  In our lobbies, we will have photographers available to snap photos of you and your loved ones.

Weekend Team:  We will be honoring moms and families through our annual Family Dedication.  We will also be announcing FRC's first, "Mom of the Year" winner.  Lastly, we are partnering with our First Impressions team to have family snapshots made available, in our lobbies, before and after each service.

Hallandale:  We will have our moms honk as they pull into our lot, allowing us to identify who the moms are.  We will be taking pictures of moms and their families under the East canopy and have them available next week.  In addition, the preschool ministry will be designing a special Mother's Day craft for their moms. Those participating in Family Dedication will receive a certificate this weekend.

Sawgrass:  Preschoolers will be making flower pots and planting flowers in them.  Our children will be decorating flower pots and including a special picture of them in it.  Our students will be making cards for their moms. And our First Impressions team will be handing out special gifts to the moms as they make their way onto our campus.  

Doral:  We will be rolling out a literal red carpet for our mothers and they will also receive a special card made for them.  After the service, we will be offering our moms goodies at a Chocolate Fountain, a family photo opportunity and a "gift" for each mom made by their children.  And for our Doral-Spanish,  we will have a worship moment that includes a special video talking about unconditional love and a special song-tribute to moms and families.

Internet:  We are giving "Mom's Day" shouts in the chat room. And we are giving out a special prize to the mom who has the most family connected at one time on our Internet Campus. Also, this weekend's episode of iKids is a relevant message about Mother's Day and listening to your parents.

Pensacola:  We are taking pictures of moms and their families when they arrive (and will have them ready for pickup next weekend).  We will be recognizing our Moms during the welcome and giving them a "Women of the Bible" book as a gift when they leave.  Our children and preschoolers are making special crafts for the moms as well.  

So Moms, please don't miss the opportunity to leverage your "mom-ness" and get your friends and families to church. As you can see, it is going to be an amazing experience, all the way around, at all of our campuses.  For a listing of our campuses and service times, please click here.
