Personal Narrative: The Evanston Vineyard Church
Mothers are someone who God chooses for us and not who we choose for ourselves.
Some of us receive a different gift in our lives, the presence and role of a motherly figure, while some of us the physical embrace of our biological mothers. In 2014, when I lost my mother, my home church in the U.S.,The First United Methodist Church, Evanston and my Field Site, the Evanston Vineyard Church mothered me in ways that I will never forget !
Today, on this Mother's Day, I would like to say a very special THANK YOU to my Field Site, The Evanston Vineyard Church for being the gentle mother that embraced, welcomed, appreciated, forgave, encouraged and, walked a journey with me in my time of pain, grief and loss. I am very humbled by the motherly and pastoral
