Thoughts from Rev. Marcelo Escarzaga
Not only on this special day, but every day of our lives, many of us carry in our hearts the image and memory of that person who encouraged us, believed in us, motivated us to move forward, and also knew how to correct us with love. Today, we recognize that we are the fruit of women of faith—living examples of sacrifice, dedication, and devotion.
The second Sunday of May is not just another date on the calendar; it is a deeply meaningful day. It is an opportunity to honor and recognize one of the most important people in the home: our mothers—those who pray for us, guide us, teach us, and care deeply about our lives.
To all the mothers of our Tulare UMC church, we want to express our sincere appreciation. Thank you for your constant support in shaping lives of faith, for the valuable time you invest, and for the courage with which you embrace this beautiful calling of extending the Kingdom of God.
We could say so much more, but today, above all, we want to lift a prayer of gratitude to God for your lives. Thank you for being instruments of love, faith, and hope in our families and in our community.
May God bless you abundantly!
Rev. Marcelo Escarzaga
