Would you give Mom Flip-Flops for Mother's Day?
 
This was from the local Social Church one town over. Their attendance is about 600. As you can see they have 2 Sunday AM services for Mother's Day.

This ad was in the paper this week also.

Last week it was hot- almost 80. Tomorrow is expected to be like today 50-55 and heavy winds. Cold, damp and very miserable. Maybe, Mom is supposed to think of the beach with these?!?

what a practical gift, but some may find it insulting.

wasn't this just showing that a church was giving flip-flops to all mothers? I woudn't give my mother fip-flops either, but as a gift from a church, that seems ok...to some maybe better than getting just a rose or a pin or something.

Maybe not insulting, but definitely odd. I would think flip flops in as a gift from church only if it fit with the theme of the sermon or something. It's very differnt, that's for sure.

did you see the title of the message - maybe it was don't be a flip flopper for the Lord. The idea is to wear the flip flops to help you learn not to be a flip-flopper.

Would you believe that you have to look really really hard to see it!

I found it expressly odd since it was so cold today.
