That’s me with a couple of the stars of our newest Mother’s Day video. We shot all day today and it went well. It’s all “in the can” so to speak or in this case on the cards (P2). The video is a fun salute to Moms and visually highlights the many roles that a mom plays throughout the day. I won’t give it all away right now… We should have it posted some time next week. In the meantime, enjoy this brief look behind the scenes of an eleven72 video shoot:

We’ve also got a great Mother’s Day Sermon Illustration and Countdown available on the Seasonal Tab of our website. For Mom: A Breakfast Story is our best selling video ever, so we must have done something right with that one. Here’s a comment we received about For Mom:

Well done! Way to give Moms a good laugh and recall good memories at the same time.

We’ve also got a great Mother’s Day Countdown where real women share their answers to the question: What’s the worst Mother’s Day gift you could get? Hint: Don’t buy her a Dieting Cookbook!

Here’s wishing you all a very Happy Mother’s Day.

We’ve got a whole lot of Mother’s Day content up on the Seasonal Tab (click here to see it now). The Sermon Illustrations and the Countdown are some of our best selling videos ever, so we’re really excited to have them all available this year at eleven72.com. And don’t miss the new Worship Backgrounds and Still Backgrounds (most of them free - read below for details).

In the why did we make it category- We’d like to think For Mom: A Breakfast Story is a great video for setting up Mother’s Day. Show the video, let everyone get a kick out of it, and then get up there and welcome everyone to the service and wish all the moms a Happy Mother’s Day (this would be a good way to lead into a special portion of your service that honors the moms). Or use it to lead into your sermon and when you come out of it, say something like, “any one have a morning like that?” or “can anyone relate?” Whether you use it to kick off your service, lead into your announcements or get your sermon started, we made it to be a realistic, yet funny/heartwarming way to introduce Mother’s Day.

For the Worst Mother’s Day Gift Ideas and Mother’s Day Countdown videos, we actually surveyed all the real moms and mom’s to be we could and came up with this video based on the real answers they gave us. We thought, who better to let us know what moms don’t want! The answers are a whole lot of fun. Use this as a stand alone video to give your congregation a laugh and lead into your sermon or announcements and/or use the countdown as a funny way to get your service started by pointing out what not to get mom for Mother’s Day.

FREE ALERT Don’t miss the new free stuff. We’re giving away 10 (yes 10, they’re somewhat similar, but still 10 freebies, that’s good stuff, right?)
