As we did with Mothers Day today I would like to speak about the orgins of Fathers Day. Unlike mothers day there is not a lot of controversy over how it was started. It all began when in 1906, in Spokane Washington, a woman listening to a Mothers Day sermon felt it was incomplete to honor only one parent. She had been one of six children raised by their widowed father. And so she resolved to honour fathers, also. In time, the third Sunday of June became Fathers Day around the world. Let us be mindful of all fathers this day—the fathers we have, the fathers we wished we’d had, and the fathers we found along the way.
