On Sunday, the Vaitele-uta Congregational Christian Church of Samoa was one of the many churches that held a celebration for families, villages and the whole country.
They spent the day reflecting on the importance of mothers in people’s lives and honouring mothers at different ages.
To celebrate, mothers of Vaitele- Uta C.C.C.S. were divided into three different groups. They recited memory verses, danced to worship music and put together skits and short drama centered around biblical stories.
Faipeaia Aufai, nearly in her 80’s, took the verse from the Proverbs that said; “Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.”
Three older women led the service in prayers; Peleiupu Soifuaga, Ne’etia Gasio and Faipeaia Aufai.
The Pastor’s wife, Tauvela Su’a added comments on the importance of mothers while Rev. Muao Su’a strengthened their message, stressing the importance of mothers.
