Agape Alongside’s Mother’s Day events in Montgomery and Birmingham were filled with joy, encouragement, and genuine connection. Mothers gathered together to celebrate not only motherhood itself, but also the strength, growth, and the life-changing journey that comes with becoming a parent.

The event created a welcoming space where moms were able to relax, enjoy delicious food, participate in fun games, and build meaningful social connections with one another. One of the highlights of the day for our Birmingham moms was hearing from our amazing guest speaker, Kimberly Berry, who shared words of encouragement and inspiration that resonated deeply with attendees.

Throughout the events, mothers reflected on the ways their lives have transformed since becoming parents. Many shared personal experiences, growth moments, and the lessons they have learned along the journey of motherhood. Each site gave moms an opportunity to celebrate themselves, capture memories, and feel honored for the incredible role they play every day.

Perhaps the most rewarding part of the celebration was hearing mothers express how grateful and delighted they were to attend. The laughter, conversations, and supportive atmosphere served as a reminder that motherhood is a journey best traveled with encouragement and community.

Our staff and our social work interns did an amazing job of making sure each mother who attended felt special. This special day was only possible because of you. Thank you for reflecting God’s love to mothers and children in our Alongside program. Your support helps remind them they they are both made in the image of God and are worthy of love and appreciation.
