This is a combination children's sermon for Mother's Day and choral piece. It's a little different but Ed's aunt swears it's the sweetest thing she's ever seen!

1 Cor. 12:1-11,27-31 Now gifts are these

1 Cor. 1:4,7 “I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that has been given you in Christ Jesus, for in every way you have been enriched in him… so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift as you wait for the revealing of our LJC.”
