God and Father's Day Cards Printables
We have created this resource for you to use to help people celebrate fathers, father-figures and God our Father this Father's Day - and provide space for tamariki and family without earthly fathers to reflect on our Father in heaven.
'Happy Father's Day!
God our Father says 'I have always loved you. I continue to show you my constant love.' - Jeremiah 31:3
Your Father in Heaven loves you.'
- message in God and Father's Day cards
Father's Day and Mother's Day are a time of celebration, reflection, hope and joy for many. They can be a way to uplift the mother-figures and father-figures in our lives, and reflect on the attributes of God reflected in their love.
We also acknowledge that these days can be filled with disappointment for some. We want to make space for all experiences, focusing on God's love, renewal and healing.
- For Mother's Day, we created the We Celebrate She cards of thankfulness and remembrance.
- For Father's Day, we created the God and Father's Day cards.
God and Father's Day Cards
The designs feature words like compassionate, comforting, tender, listener, gentle, nurturing. These are attributes of God and fathers that we celebrate! Use these cards to discuss these aspects of God our Father and father-figures this Father's Day.
Many children (young and old) need space to see God as their Father when their father might not be with them. Inside our God and Father's card is 'I have always loved you, I continue to show you my constant love.' and the words 'Your Father in heaven loves you.' We hope these cards can be paired with a sensitive message from parents, pastors and others that God is our heavenly Father who loves and celebrates us.
