Mother’s Day Brunch for Peace

Did you know that the honored celebration of Mothers Day — a day that in the US we associate with family, love, and, well, brunch — was originally a day created to honor Peace in our World?

Following the US Civil War, Julia Ward Howe, famous for composing the beautiful “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” found herself horrified by the carnage of War, along with thousands of other women. In 1870, she wrote her Mothers’ Day Proclamation, a strident cry for women to rise in the name of Peace!

Join us as we celebrate the love of mothers, families and dear ones. 

Treat the mothers in your life to a special afternoon brunch featuring a full brunch buffett, music, entertainment, and the fellowship of friends both old and new. There will be special treats for mom and libations for all. 

It all takes place on the beautiful north deck and lawns of First Congregational Church. Rain location is inside the north building.
