Mother’s Day is a special Sunday for your church,It’s a day that welcomes new guests while also deeply resonating with long-time members. Families come together, emotions run high, and expectations are naturally elevated. While the in-person service may feature flowers, a tribute video, or a time of recognition, many people—both guests and members—will look to your website first to see what’s planned.
Visitors often ask, “Is this church doing anything special for moms?” They want to know if it’s a good Sunday to visit with family or invite someone. At the same time, current members are eager to know what to expect. Will there be a special moment to honor mothers? Is there childcare or a children’s presentation? Should they come early or bring extended family? Your members want to participate in a meaningful experience, and your website can help them feel informed, included, and excited.
If your website still features old banners, outdated schedules, or has no mention of Mother’s Day at all, it sends the wrong message. It can make guests second-guess attending and leave members unsure how to prepare or celebrate. That’s why it’s essential to prepare your church website with clear, timely, and welcoming content.
Simple updates like an updated homepage banner, a short video, or event options can go a long way. These elements communicate that your church is prepared, intentional, and ready to celebrate the women and families who show up that Sunday. Whether someone has never stepped foot in your sanctuary or they’ve been sitting in the front row for 30 years, a welcoming church website shows them you care—before they even walk through the door.
With just a few focused updates, your church website can guide, inspire, and unify both guests and members around the celebration of Mother’s Day.
1. Create a Dedicated Banner for Your Mother’s Day Service
Start by replacing or adding a homepage banner that features your Mother’s Day celebration. This is one of the first things guests and members will see when they land on your website, and it’s your chance to make the occasion feel special. A customized banner not only creates visual appeal but also conveys that your church is present, thoughtful, and ready for the season.
-
Use bold text and gentle visuals like flowers or family imagery
-
Link the banner to a landing page or announcement section
-
Design your graphic using Canva or access ChurchSpring’s Media Library for ready-made visuals
-
Promote your service theme with Scripture or short quotes
-
Add a call-to-action button like “Join Us This Sunday”
A thoughtful church event banner sends a clear message: “You’re invited—and this Sunday is something special.” It signals that your church is aware, prepared, and eager to celebrate with your community. An eye-catching design with compelling text can instantly draw attention and set a joyful, welcoming tone for your event.
It also helps promote your church event across channels—providing a cohesive visual that can be reused in email campaigns, printed invites, and social media posting platforms to build anticipation and reach new guests.
2. Add an Event on Your Church website
Next, feature the event clearly on your homepage or “What’s Happening” section. A basic blurb isn’t enough. Give people the details they need—what to expect, how long the service will be, and whether childcare is available. When you provide clarity, you remove barriers and increase the likelihood that people will attend or invite someone else.
-
Add the event to your homepage using ChurchSpring’s church website builder
-
Include an RSVP form for planning or seating purposes
-
Link to a map or directions for new visitors
-
Offer downloadable invite graphics for members to share
-
Highlight if special music or a children’s presentation is part of the service
-
Mention any refreshments, giveaways, or post-service gatherings
This makes your website more than informative—it becomes actionable. By transforming your site into a tool that invites, guides, and confirms attendance, you’re removing the guesswork for your visitors.
A clear event listing paired with an RSVP or contact form builds trust and removes hesitation. It shows your church is organized, expects guests, and has taken steps to make their visit smooth and meaningful. That level of care makes a lasting impression before anyone even walks through the door.
3. Share Photos or Recaps from Previous Mother’s Day Services
People want to see what your church is like—and photos help them feel it. If you’ve celebrated Mother’s Day in the past, show it! Add a short highlight section with images, testimonials, or even a video welcome from your pastor. These visual and emotional cues help guests picture themselves attending, participating, and connecting and help members get excited for the upcoming celebration.
-
Use a scrolling photo gallery or single feature image
-
Upload a short highlight video or preview of the coming service
-
Add 1–2 brief quotes from past mother’s
-
Consider including a special tribute section for moms with Scripture or personal notes
“ChurchSpring has been one of those rare products that performs as advertised. One of the top reasons we chose ChurchSpring was for ease of editing and updating the website. As promised, it has been just that…easy.”
Karl M., Timberville Church of the Brethren
4. Highlight Live Stream Options and Accessibility
Not everyone will be able to attend in person—especially moms and families who live out of town. Others may be homebound or hesitant about in-person services. Make it easy for people to tune in by ensuring your homepage clearly features engaging live stream links and instructions.
-
Place a livestream button or banner on the homepage
-
Use clear call-to-action phrases like “Watch Mother’s Day Live”
-
Ensure your streaming player or link works well on mobile
-
Add a brief note with the order of service or message title
-
Include captions or notes about website accessibility features for those who need it
-
Provide tech support info or a contact link for livestream issues
Don’t bury your livestream under a generic menu. Instead, bring it to the forefront where guests and members can access it with ease. A few homepage updates can show you care about everybody entering your physical or digital doors—no matter where they’re watching from. Making livestream access simple and visible reinforces that your church values connection, even for those attending from afar. It’s a small step that creates a big welcome.
Finally, don’t overlook basic web hygiene. A good Mother’s Day promotion only works if visitors can actually find it. Keep your structure clean, intuitive, and mobile-friendly. Even the best-designed banners and videos won’t help if your navigation is confusing or your content is buried.
-
Use sticky menus or buttons for quick access to the event
-
Remove or archive old events and winter content
-
Take time to clean your church website ahead of seasonal traffic
-
Update your footer, contact info, and Google listing
-
Check that RSVP, livestream, and contact links are all working properly
-
Ensure important info is above the fold on both desktop and mobile
