The Life, Work & Ministry

Mother’s Day 2025

Celebrated in over forty countries around the world, Mother’s Day was first established in the United States in 1908 by Anna Jarvis in a worship service at the St. Andrew’s Methodist Church in Grafton, WV with President Woodrow Wilson signing a bill in 1914 which officially recognized Mother’s Day on the second Sunday in March. We at Sea Island celebrate all women who have nurtured, guided and loved with a mother’s heart whether they are mothers by birth, by choice, or by spirit.
